275. Hundred officials are not convinced
Chapter 275
Nowadays, the Jiangxia Empire is a matter of employing people.
For a thankless task like "begging for the Burning Sun Flag", the empire used so many elite soldiers, labored the people and lost money, and also took huge risks.
Why is that?
Master Ye really doesn't have a big picture.
In the hearts of the mighty officials, they all think so.
Moreover, what made them feel the most resentful was that they had never known this Ye Taishi, Ye Xi.
For no reason, a Ye Taishi appeared, and it was difficult for all officials to accept it. If it weren't for the fact that Your Majesty is not a mediocre monarch, if it weren't for Your Majesty's very resolute attitude, the hundred officials would have strongly protested a long time ago.
This Ye Xi was young, and he didn't have any official career, and he was named a Taishi on the first day he entered the court, how could he not cause people to be dissatisfied?
Taishi, speaking out is no smaller than the prime minister, the real one person is below ten thousand people.
"I think this Master Ye may be a relative of the emperor, otherwise why would Your Majesty use him so much. ”
"It's not like I was promoted from somewhere else, I can't figure it out......"
"Hmph, it must be an incompetent person who eats a corpse. ”
"In my opinion, he may be the illegitimate son left by His Majesty when he was in a civil affair, and he can't be on the stage and can't be crowned king, so His Majesty gave him a Taishi. ”
The ministers left the court and began to talk boldly.
One of the generals spoke the most directly, and even said that Ye Taishi was the emperor's illegitimate son.
However, as soon as he spoke, he was immediately stopped by other officials: "Shhh, don't talk nonsense, Your Majesty is wise." Gong fortunately didn't say it in front of outsiders, otherwise it would be a big trouble. ”
The general surnamed Gong said disdainfully: "I am a rough person who practices martial arts, and I can't speak." Anyway, I just don't like this Ye Taishi, what a bullshit Taishi, I don't know what method I used to sit up. ”
"Maybe, he has some background in cultivating immortals? Hey, don't guess, in short, follow His Majesty's holy decree with peace of mind. Someone else continued.
When this small group of people was discussing, Ye Donglai had already passed by.
Everyone hurriedly shut up.
It's just that they don't know that with Ye Donglai's current divine sense, even if he doesn't deliberately, he can sense the words of ordinary people.
Of course, even if he was criticized, Ye Donglai didn't take it to heart.
He himself can understand the thoughts of civil and military officials, and it is indeed unreasonable for a master to appear in the court.
Anyway, Ye Donglai can't really be a master here, he just needs an identity. After returning from the Chiyan Empire this time, these officials couldn't see him if they wanted to.
Outside the gate of the national capital, an elite team of 500 people, lined up in a neat line, is about to set off.
In the center of the team, Ye Donglai sat in a luxurious carriage, and was closely escorted from front to back, left and right, and his style was not small.
There were also several military generals and civilian officials in the queue as accompaniments.
This operation, on the surface, was to "ask for the Yanyang Flag", and it was not to march to fight, so it was impossible for the Jiangxia Empire to send too many people.
This elite squad is enough.
In the team, there are also some immortal cultivators arranged by Wei Ke, of course, most of the cultivation is under the foundation.
After all, there are not many immortal cultivators in the secular kingdom who are willing to work hard, and the source of the kingdom's combat power is mainly a large population......
"Master Ye. Wei Ke personally went to see him off outside the city gate, "It's better to be careful when you go to the Chiyan Empire." ”
Ye Donglai leaned out of the window of the carriage and said, "Your Majesty, please go back, the minister will definitely live up to his high expectations and retrieve the Yanyang Banner." ”
"Your Majesty, rest assured, this is not going to war. When we arrived at the Chiyan Empire, it was just a glance at the Yanyang Banner, and we would come back, and there would be no danger, at most, it was just a few feasts. In the queue, a general in armor interjected, a little strange.
Ye Donglai glanced at this person and found that it was General Gong, who was outspoken during the dispersal of the dynasty.
Obviously, General Gong was very disdainful of the words of the emperor and Ye Taishi.
The implication of his words is nothing more than that he regarded this operation as a "play".
Go and come back in a few days, it is impossible to get the magic weapon, and the danger is impossible. It used to be like this, and when it comes to Master Ye, it will definitely be no exception, and maybe, Master Ye is not as good as his predecessors.
Emperor Wei Ke shook his head secretly and didn't say anything.
Only he knew that Ye Shangxian was determined to seize the magic weapon, and maybe he would use all kinds of extraordinary means, when the time came, how could the danger be underestimated?
But he didn't dare to reveal any of these secrets.
The entire team thought that Master Ye was really a scene......
"Let's go!" Ye Donglai gave an order, and the team members got on their horses together and gradually moved away from the national capital.
Emperor Wei Ke looked at the queue that was gradually moving away, and his mood was also a little uneasy, and he muttered: "Ye Shangxian, can you succeed in the end?" Regardless of failure or success, the relationship between the Jiangxia Empire and the Chiyan Empire will probably become more tense. Forget it, if it really comes to the trouble related to the survival of the Jiangxia Empire, Lou Shangxian will definitely come forward, I, the little emperor, only need to hug the organization behind the adult. ”
............
The Jiangxia Empire borders the Chiyan Empire, but the capitals of the two empires are still far apart.
Since Ye Donglai was going to ask for the magic weapon as "Master Ye", he naturally couldn't rush alone like an immortal cultivator.
It took three days just to get there.
This is again thanks to the fact that there are not many people in the squad, and everyone's mounts are good horses.
The next day, the team had already left the territory of the Jiangxia Empire.
On the border between the two countries, there are still many traces of war, and there are almost no people.
Even if everything was quiet, Ye Donglai seemed to be able to see that there had been a lot of wars here, and there were countless dry bones buried in the ground.
"By the way, my ghost ghost art requires the power of ghosts, and this area of hundreds of miles is full of multiple wars, in which there are countless victims, and before the souls return to the west, they will inevitably form a lot of remnants of ghost power. ”
As soon as Ye Donglai's mind moved, he cultivated the ghost art in the carriage.
Anyway, it's still early, and he can't fly to the Chiyan Empire first, so it's better to improve some strength.
To his surprise, the place he was in at this time was probably the place where the war was most frequent, and the power of ghosts was very strong.
It was just a moment, and Ye Donglai condensed one ghost after another in the carriage, of course, these ghost shadows had not yet been beaten into his true yuan, they were just simple shadows, and they had no lethality.
But even so, it's already a big improvement.
Compared to when he faced Chen Bu back that day, Ye Donglai found that his control of the power of ghosts had improved to another level. Especially when he looked at the endless mountains and rivers and experienced the desolation of the battlefield, he found that his understanding of the power of ghosts seemed to have reached a higher level.
