173. Convocation
In the swaying and slowly floating sedan chair, Ye Yuan was closing his eyes and pondering.
Nowadays, the Dragon Protector Villa is powerful, and the forces in the capital that can compete with it... No.
That's right, just no.
Even if all the other forces in the Ming capital are gathered, they are still in a weak position.
Because, now that they are still outside the Dragon Guardian Villa, there are only six forces on the bright side.
The first is the Imperial Forest Army, which is the army of the emperor to protect the capital.
It's just that there has been some turmoil recently, people's hearts are unstable, and it is unknown how much the emperor can mobilize.
Moreover, even if the entire Imperial Forest Army was all towards the Emperor, it would be useless.
There is no way, the Imperial Guards have not fought for decades, and besides, the veterans who have been left behind have long since died, and the current Imperial Guards ... Poor in combat.
Moreover, the Imperial Forest Army is also full of corruption, empty salaries, and corruption of military discipline by the sons and daughters of honorable people.
All in all, the current Imperial Forest Army is no longer the powerful combat power of the early days of the founding of the country, and it has long been reduced to a showmanship, and it can't do anything except look good.
As for the other five forces on the surface: Jinyiwei, Xichang, Dongchang, Yuma Supervisor, and Si Li Supervisor.
Needless to say, Jinyiwei and the East and West Factories are the three major violent organizations on the surface.
Initially, the Imperial Horse Warden was only in charge of the royal horses, but due to the Emperor's distrust of the military generals, the power of the Imperial Horse Warden was expanded to now be able to supervise and even mobilize the army.
The Imperial Horse Supervisor can be said to be the second military department, and they can mobilize tens of thousands of troops at any time in the capital alone.
Of course, due to the indiscriminate entry of candidates, this number must have shrunk considerably, and it is still unknown how much of a role it can play now.
The last is the celebrant eunuch, the eunuch Wei Zhongxian has great power in his hands, known as the internal minister, and is the alternative prime minister of the Ming Dynasty, and no one knows how much power he has in his hands.
Speaking of which, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty is really pitiful.
If the forces of the six directions on the surface really want to find their roots, one is completely loyal to him.
That's right, not a single one.
Xichang is backed by the noble concubine Wan Zhen'er, although she will not disobey the emperor's orders, but after all, there is still a layer between her and the emperor, and she is not completely loyal.
And Jinyiwei was jointly blocked by the East and West factories to block its contact with the emperor, and now, in essence, Jinyiwei has been reduced to a subordinate of the two factories.
Although the Imperial Forest Army is directly managed by the emperor, the emperor is actually not in place, and most of the current high-level officials of the Imperial Forest Army are nobles, and their hearts are unpredictable.
And the Imperial Horse Supervisor, the palm print is Liu Xi, he... is the queen's person, and the queen also has a dislike with the emperor because the emperor favors Wan Zhen'er.
As for Dongchang, the admiral is Cao Zhengchun, and he and Wei Zhongxian, who is in charge of the celebrant seal, are actually the empress dowager's people.
And the Queen Mother, probably because the emperor is still young and immature enough, has no idea of handing over power.
So, the emperor... It's pathetic.
"Bah, bah..."
Ye Yuan quickly reacted, what qualifications did he have to say this.
No matter how people say it, he is also the Ming Emperor who is in good health, but he is not just a eunuch himself.
It's just that when Ye Yuan felt the heat flow in his lower abdomen, his mood improved again.
"As long as you wait for the sunflower to be completed, you can recover."
The sedan chair arrived at its destination and stopped gently.
"Overseer, it's here."
A fan opened the sedan curtain as he spoke, and Ye Yuan walked down, stretching his waist unrestrainedly, his face calm.
Although the situation is not good, with his earth-shattering skills, even in the face of the Iron Courage Divine Marquis, he is safe.
Moreover, the world can be reached, and there is no need to be afraid.
"Wei Mansion."
Looking at the plaque on the upper floor of the high gate, Ye Yuan pursed his lips without a trace, disdainfully.
Of course, whether he has envy in his heart or not, outsiders don't know.
Just as he was about to call for the door, two more sedan chairs were carried over.
Ye Yuan knew that he had been summoned together, so he was not in a hurry to knock on the door, so he simply retreated and waited for their arrival with peace of mind.
"Lord Rain, it's so early."
Looking at the fat eunuch acquaintance with a good face in front of him, Ye Yuan said with a smile.
"Haha, where is it, my status is the lowest, of course I have to come and wait for you early."
The smile on Cao Zhengchun's face remained unchanged and retorted.
"Lord Yu laughed, the status of the West Factory is still above our East Factory, besides, Grandpa Yu is still young and has infinite possibilities, unlike our family, they are all old."
Cao Zhengchun looked at the young face of the junior opposite, and then thought about himself, especially the white hair on his head, and couldn't help but feel sad.
Just as the two were talking, another sedan chair fell, and down was an old eunuch who was much younger than Cao Zhengchun, after all, his hair was only a little gray.
"Liu Zhangyin is here, our family is polite."
After a few pleasantries to each other, the three of them got to the point.
"I don't know, who else did Grandpa Wei invite?"
Ye Yuan and Cao Zhengchun shook their heads at the same time, they didn't know either.
Just as the three of them were about to go inside, the crisp sound of horses' hooves sounded, and they stopped at the same time.
Liu Xi and Cao Zhengchun both glanced at the young junior next to them in surprise, and at the same time said in their hearts: What a profound skill!
At the same time, they also have a huge question in their hearts: Is the Sunflower Treasure Book really so powerful, can people progress to this point in a year or two?
It's no wonder that they were shocked, thinking that they had worked hard to cultivate for decades, and now they had only just broken through to the early stage of the Great Grandmaster, and this was the result of a recent opportunity.
However, judging from Ye Yuan's reaction that was not much different from them just now, at least it was a Grandmaster cultivator, and moreover, he was definitely not close to the Grandmaster realm.
This is why the two of them can't help but sigh: Sunflower Treasure Book, terrifying!
Soon, people on horseback appeared at the street corner.
As soon as Ye Yuan saw the visitor, he revealed the identity of the other party.
"The commander of the Jinyi Guard... Green Dragon. ”
Cao Zhengchun muttered with a thoughtful look on his face.
"It seems that this banquet of the Iron Courage God Marquis is very troublesome! Even Grandpa Wei..."
Cao Zhengchun shook his head and did not continue, after all, there are many people.
However, the other two people present were not fools, so they naturally understood what he meant, and nodded approvingly.
It seems that Wei Zhongxian has also realized the seriousness of the matter.
The four of them exchanged a few simple greetings, and the gate of the Wei Mansion automatically opened.
Wei Zhongxian of this world, although he is also in power, is not as powerful as he was in the original history, covering the sky with one hand.
Therefore, his mansion is still built very low-key, without any trespassing.
But...
Ye Yuan's eyes flickered, and he looked at the feeling of being peeped at, and immediately found many hidden masters.
Top-notch, super-class, even... And two grandmasters!
Ye Yuan sighed with envy in his heart.
"No wonder, no wonder Wei Zhongxian has survived until now!"
Not only Ye Yuan, but the other two great eunuchs who had recently broken through the Great Grandmaster also faintly felt the amazing strength of the secret person.
Only Qinglong, whose strength has a super-first-class peak, has limited perception, but the spiritual sensitivity that comes from the grinding between life and death still lets him know that this place must not be moved, otherwise, he will definitely die.
In such a slightly depressing environment, the four of them had no desire to talk.
was silent all the way until he came to the meeting room, at this time, Wei Zhongxian was already sitting in the first place, leisurely tasting tea like a celebrity.
This is an old man who doesn't seem to care about anything, the opposite of his usual sharp performance.
To everyone's surprise, Wei Zhongxian said casually without raising his head while admiring the movement of tea.
"Sit down."
Before sitting down, Ye Yuan glanced at the screen in the hall as if unintentionally, and then sat silently.
After all four of them were seated, Wei Zhongxian finally raised his head, he directly threw out a Phnom Penh invitation that the four of them were very familiar with, and asked straight to the point.
"Let's talk about it, what the hell does he want to do?"
Although, everyone knows the answer very well in their hearts.
However, on the bright side, no one wants to reveal it by themselves.
After all, if you say too much, you will lose.
Especially this kind of thing that cannot be 100% certain, and it cannot be easily stated!
