"The position of the head of the Shenwu Academy really shouldn't be vacant for too long, Xiao Qing, do you have any suitable candidates?"

Emperor Qian, who was sitting on the dragon chair, looked as usual, and then nodded and asked.

"Your Majesty, there is a suitable candidate for the minister."

Prime Minister Xiao Rong immediately bowed and said.

"Xiao Qing talk about it."

Emperor Qianhuang said with a chuckle.

"Your Majesty, the sword-wielding Marquis Yecheng, has made outstanding achievements, has made great contributions to quell the rebellion in the six southeastern states, and his combat power is amazing, and he is on the top of the gold list of my Qianguo, ranking first on the list, and in time, he will definitely step into the ranks of grandmasters, and he can be qualified for the position of the head of the Shenwu Academy."

Prime Minister Xiao Rong said immediately, his tone was loud and full of admiration.

The audience fell silent.

Many civil and military ministers were dumbfounded, because they had already thought of a lot of names, but they didn't think of the person Xiao Xiang mentioned.

"Your Majesty, by no means, how can a eunuch take on such a heavy responsibility. Once it spreads, won't it make the countries laugh at me for having no one in the country? ”

A figure rushed out of Wenchen's ranks, came to Xiao Xiang's side, knelt down directly, and raised his voice in opposition.

Like an introduction, one after another the ministers of civil and military affairs ran out one after another, and they also objected.

Ye Cheng, who was standing at the end of the military attaché, was a little confused.

What's the situation?

Is this the purpose of the Emperor Qianhuang to let himself participate in the Great Dynasty Meeting?

Isn't the position of the head of the Shenwu Academy held by the Grandmaster of the Qianguo Dynasty in all dynasties?

However, Ye Cheng was puzzled, but he understood that the Qianhuang wanted to take this opportunity to take the position of the head of the Shenwu Academy into his own hands.

For a long time, Shenwu Academy has almost become the territory of the Hetian Wang family and the Longmen Zhao family.

It is difficult for the emperor to intervene in it.

Most of the outstanding martial artists cultivated from it were also enveloped by these two forces.

The rebellion of the bandits in the six southeastern states is actually the sequelae caused by this.

"In this case, wouldn't I have to take the two routes of the inner and outer ministers at the same time?"

Ye Cheng sighed in his heart.

Originally, he thought that he might become the master of the Taiwu Palace.

Since Emperor Qianhuang is ready to take the position of the head of the Shenwu Academy, he must have prepared for a long time, and these opponents will definitely not be able to make too big waves.

After all, after the Hetian Wang family and the Longmen Zhao family were suppressed, some of the civil and military ministers who were close to them were also much more honest.

After some opponents came out, there were many supporters.

Among them, it is headed by Taiwei Chiyan.

His tower-like body stood out, full of ferocity, and his armor was heavy, and the ground seemed to shake as he walked.

"Bastard old thing, open your dog's eyes and see, how can the Sword Marquis not be the master of this Shenwu Academy? Although he was a eunuch, he was ordered to enter Weizhou, which was surrounded by strong enemies, captured the rebel general Ma Yunlong among the ten thousand troops, regained control of the Splitting Wind Army, and found out the ironclad evidence of the illegal sale of fine iron ingots in Black Iron City, how much loss did he recover for the imperial court? He slashed the leader of the bandits, Zao Wou-ki, destroyed the bandits' lair, and later cleared up more than a dozen congenital-level martial arts forces that colluded with the bandits, so that Weizhou, which was originally a poor people's livelihood, returned to normal. ”

Yu Chiyan walked up to an old man like an angry man, and his spat almost sprayed on the man's face.

Even he directly grabbed the necks of the two Wenchen with two big hands, and his vicious expression almost didn't scare people out.

"You, you, insult Sven."

The old man's face was pale, his mouth trembled, and he almost fainted.

For a while, there was chaos in the court, and a war of words began between the two sides.

In general, though, the supporters have the upper hand.

Because Prime Minister Xiao Rong and Taiwei Chi Yan, these two heavyweights in the court, both supported the sword-wielding Hou Yecheng to serve as the head of the Shenwu Academy.

And these two people, as the right-hand men of the Emperor in the court, naturally gathered a group of people behind them.

In addition, the people on the side of the Longmen Zhao family and the Hetian Wang family did not dare to make too big a move, which also caused the opponents to fall into disadvantage.

It was the first time that Ye Cheng had seen such a chaotic situation in the court, even more so than before.

Especially the appearance of Taiwei Chi Yan, who was almost about to fight and eat people, Ye Cheng thought it was very interesting.

He and Prime Minister Xiao Rong and Taiwei Chi Yan naturally have no intersection, when they were in King Jing's Mansion, these two were King Jing's right-hand men, and their status was very high.

After King Jing became the emperor, the two also followed into the court, and the starting point was very high.

Now he has become the head of civil officials and military generals.

After a long time, Emperor Qianhuang suddenly coughed a few times, then his face sank, and he said seriously.

"Above the court, what kind of mess is it, Wei Chiyan, Lord Xu is so old, even if there are differences of opinion, you can't make such a big move?"

Suddenly, the hall, which was still arguing, suddenly fell silent.

"Your Majesty said yes."

Wei Chiyan, who was carrying a thin old man with one hand and threatening viciously, laughed, hurriedly put the person down, and then sorted out the other party's clothes, "Lord Xu, I'm really sorry, a certain family was a little emotional just now, please don't keep it in mind, after all, we are colleagues, and we all serve Your Majesty."

This Xu Da was trembling with anger, if he hadn't been able to beat Wei Chiyan, he would definitely have to do it.

"Ye Cheng."

After the order in the court was restored, the Emperor suddenly shouted.

When the civil and military officials in the audience heard Emperor Qian's name call Ye Cheng, they immediately knew Emperor Qian's decision.

In other words, the scene of today's great court meeting was basically planned by the Emperor Qianhuang a long time ago.

Many people are even amazed by the old scheming of the emperor.

It is no wonder that Emperor Qianhuang insisted on canonizing Ye Cheng as the Marquis of the Sword, and the ultimate goal was to become the head of this Shenwu Academy.

The title of Marquis of the Sword Command seems to be just a virtual title, and the significance is not particularly great.

But it is this title that can transform a eunuch minister in Yecheng into a foreign minister.

"The ministers are here."

Ye Cheng hurriedly walked out of the corner of the main hall and came to the front of the hall to salute.

"I have appointed you as the acting head of the Shenwu Academy, and you must be loyal to your duties, ensure the normal operation of the Shenwu Academy, and select outstanding martial arts talents for the imperial court."

Emperor Qianhuang said in a deep voice.

"Minister, obey the order."

Ye Cheng hurriedly received the order.

Soon, Xu Heng, the eunuch who held the seal of the celebrant and the eunuch, came to Ye Cheng with a tray.

Above it is the appointment of the Holy Decree, the official uniform and token of the head of the Shenwu Academy.

He held his hands up and took the tray from Xu Heng's hand.

"Your Majesty has an order, there is something to play again, and there is nothing to retreat."

Xu Heng shouted loudly.

After a while, Xu Heng shouted again: "Retreat." ”

Ye Cheng and other civil and military ministers hurriedly sent Emperor Qianhuang away.

Xu Heng whispered to Ye Cheng: "Ye Hou, come to the Cultivation Temple later, Your Majesty wants to see you." ”

After finishing speaking, he hurriedly tiptoed and chased after the departing Qianhuang.

After the emperor left, the hall immediately became chaotic, and the ministers began to talk in groups, leaving the hall one after another.

"Ye Hou, congratulations."

Prime Minister Xiao Rong actually walked over and said to Ye Cheng.

"Lord Xiao Xiang, thank you for your recommendation."

Ye Cheng hurriedly returned the salute.

"Ye Hou, you and I are both working for Your Majesty, and we are both colleagues, which is as it should be, and Ye Hou has made great contributions to quelling the rebellion of bandits in the six southeastern states."

Prime Minister Xiao Rong chuckled.

At this time, Taiwei Chi Yan walked up, "Ye Hou, Xiao Xiang recommended you, a certain family has shown you full martial arts, how about it, it's interesting enough, right?" ”

"Lord Taiwei's heroic spirit, Ye Mou admires it very much."

Ye Cheng said with a smile.

He thought that this Wei Chiyan was very interesting, don't look at the rough appearance and fierce behavior, but he is a thoughtful person.

To be able to do the position of Tai Lieutenant, it is not only an old man who follows King Jing, but also has something outstanding in dealing with people.

"Ye Hou, then you don't have a little indication, or else, find a place and invite me to have a meal with Xiao Xiang?"

Yu Chiyan said with a smile.

"As it should be, it depends on when Lord Xiao Xiang and Lord Taiwei have time."

Ye Cheng said with a smile.

"It's fine now, it's noon."

Yu Chiyan said.

"What are you doing in such a hurry, Ye Hou still has important things."

Prime Minister Xiao Rong immediately smiled.

"Xiao Xiang reminded me in time, Ye almost forgot about important things, Xiao Xiang, Lord Taiwei, Ye Mou took the first step, and then I will do it again, please find a good place to have a drink."

Ye Cheng arched his hand and said.

After Ye Cheng left, Xiao Rong sighed with emotion: "I didn't expect that such a character was born in the former Jingwang Mansion. ”

"Yes, this Ye Hou saved the life of the prince back then, and this time he was ordered to be in danger, made great contributions, and became a marquis as a eunuch, serving as the head of Shenwu Academy, and he is destined to be extraordinary in the future."

Yu Chiyan's rugged face also showed solemnity.

After Ye Cheng left the Fengtian Palace, he went straight into the inner palace and arrived at the Yang God Temple.

With his current status, he is naturally unimpeded.

No tokens at all.

Just brush your face.

Arrived at the temple of nourishment.

"Ye Hou, Your Majesty is inside."

Xu Heng, who was standing at the door, saw Ye Cheng arrive and said softly.

Ye Cheng nodded, and then walked in.

When he came to the palace, Ye Cheng saw Emperor Qianhuang sitting behind the imperial case.

"The ministers have seen Your Majesty."

Ye Cheng hurriedly saluted.

"Ye Cheng, do you know why I appointed you as the head of the Divine Martial Academy?"

The Emperor chuckled.

"The minister knows."

Ye Cheng said.

"The Wang and Zhao families control the Shenwu Academy, monopolize the source of students, and how much blood they have sucked from the imperial court, this tumor must be pulled out."

Emperor Qian's tone suddenly became calm.

Obviously, he has reached the point of hatred for the Hetian Wang family and the Longmen Zhao family.

Ye Cheng did not speak.

He naturally knew this truth, if it was him sitting on the throne, I am afraid that he would want to destroy these two grandmaster families more than Emperor Qian.

These two families control the Shenwu Academy, desperately trying to stuff their own people into it, or pull the excellent martial artists they have cultivated into their own lineup.

The resources that can be consumed do belong to the imperial court.

You must know that the Taiwu Hall and the Shenwu Academy share the same spiritual land, and the spiritual objects produced are almost equally divided, but the Wang and Zhao families were not satisfied before, and they wanted to reduce the resources and funds of the Taiwu Palace.

How can the Emperor endure?

It's just that due to the situation, Emperor Qianhuang had to back down and agreed to reduce the financial resources of the Taiwu Palace.

But in the next step, Emperor Qianhuang appointed Ye Cheng as a secret envoy to investigate the rebellion of bandits in the six southeastern states, which had follow-up results.

"Ye Cheng, you don't have to have any pressure. This matter must be done slowly, if it doesn't work for five years, it will be ten years, if I can't do it in office, just wait for the prince to become the emperor. ”

The Emperor seemed to notice that his tone and emotions were a little out of control, and immediately softened and said.

Ye Cheng is not a grandmaster yet, he is only a half-step grandmaster, and it is not so easy to open up the situation in the Shenwu Academy.

The Hetian Wang family and the Longmen Zhao family have been operating in the Shenwu Academy for several generations, and they have already formed an incomparably stable interest group, in which the forces are intertwined, and it is too difficult and difficult to shake them.

"The minister understands."

Ye Cheng naturally wouldn't say anything.

Moreover, he also knew how difficult it was.

It's not a fight-kill.

Maybe he has the strength to surpass ordinary grandmasters, but in the Shenwu Academy, he may not be able to work, and he can't kill all the disobedience, right?

Each place has specific rules, the sect has the rules of the sect, the court has the rules of the court, and there are naturally rules in the Shenwu Academy.

What he needs to do is to complete the purge of Wang Zhao's power network in the Shenwu Academy within the scope of the rules, and finally achieve the goal of controlling the Shenwu Academy.

There is still a long way to go!
