Chapter 211: Court Battle

Xiaoyue Dynasty, Imperial City, Court.

Half a month has passed since the last court session.

Many ministers were sad, they could never forget how glorious Wei Xiang was when he attended court session half a month ago. He was in high spirits and high spirits, and he made memorials to the emperor one after another, and nominated three of his own people to important positions.

The emperor seemed to want to help him intentionally.

He did not hesitate too much and directly agreed to many of Wei Xiang's requests.

At that time, the left prime minister's face was a little ugly, and this scene could be seen by all the civil and military officials in the court.

The emperor was good at controlling people and knew how to check and balance. He had been maintaining the balance between Wei Xiang and Zuo Xiang.

Before this, Wei Xiang had not attended court session for a long time because of his injury. During this period, Zuo Xiang was very active and gathered many neutral supporters. His power once squeezed Wei Xiang very uncomfortably.

But this time, Wei Xiang cured his hidden disease by absorbing the essence of the emperor's veins and blood, and at the same time broke through the realm.

His gestures and movements showed his elegance, catching the left prime minister off guard.

This time, what kind of "offensive" will he stage in the court?

The emperor of Xiaoyue Dynasty is named Wan Yun.

He looks about the same age as Wei Xiang and Zuo Xiang, but he has been the emperor for a hundred years.

Under the rule of Emperor Wan Yun, Xiaoyue Dynasty promoted martial arts, improved the Qianlong List, unified the allocation of cultivation resources, supported major families, and focused on selecting potential geniuses. For a time, it was in full swing, and geniuses came one after another.

Now, Emperor Wan Yun is sitting on the throne, looking at the civil and military officials in the court with an indifferent expression.

"Your Majesty has an order, and there is a memorial!"

In front of Emperor Wan Yun, an old eunuch shouted in a shrill voice.

In the court, almost everyone looked at Wei Xiang and Zuo Xiang.

In the grand court meeting half a month ago, Zuo Xiang was defeated and caught off guard by Wei Xiang. How will he fight back this time?

Given his character, he would definitely not be willing to be humiliated. If he said that he had no means this time, no one would believe it.

"I have the ability!"

The left prime minister stepped out without hesitation.

Swish!

The eyes of the whole audience were focused on the left prime minister.

The left prime minister bowed respectfully and said, "The position of the city lord of Changli City has always been vacant, but the location of this place is very important and it cannot be without a city lord for a day. I want to nominate someone to serve as the city lord of Changli City to share the worries of Your Majesty!"

"Speak."

Emperor Wan Yun smiled indifferently. All this was actually within his expectations.

Changli City is the fifth-ranked city in Xiaoyue Dynasty, and it is also a very famous city for refining.

There are three refining academies in it, which are dedicated to cultivating talents in refining for Xiaoyue Dynasty.

The previous city lord of Changli City made a big mistake and has been imprisoned. Now the position of the city lord is vacant. Both the left prime minister and the Wei prime minister want to nominate their own people to take over, which can be regarded as occupying a major lifeline of Xiaoyue Dynasty.

Of course, although the two of them were fighting openly and secretly, they would never dare to do anything that would damage the interests of the Xiaoyue Dynasty.

Because Emperor Wan Yun was very strong and was the best master of the Xiaoyue Dynasty.

Among the royal family, there were several older generations with exaggerated strength. They were very low-key and lived a carefree life, but if someone didn't know how to live or die, they didn't mind taking action and killing him.

Emperor Wan Yun was happy to see the two people competing. First, he didn't want one to dominate, and second, only competition could keep enough pressure on the court.

Everyone was thinking about how to do better to beat the other party. This would maintain a fast-paced sense of competition invisibly. The civil and military officials in the court dared not relax, for fear that they would be liquidated if they stood on the wrong side.

"I want to nominate Shi Huan, the deputy city lord of Changli City, to take over the position of city lord. He had served as the principal of the weapon refining school in Changli City for thirty years and made remarkable achievements. He then served as the deputy city lord for twenty years. It can be said that few people can compare with him in terms of understanding Changli City!"

The left prime minister said respectfully.

In the venue, many officials all showed a look of "as expected".

Shi Huan is the brother of the concubine of the left prime minister. In terms of qualifications, he is indeed qualified to sit in this position.

As soon as he came up, the left prime minister began to arrange and deploy his own forces.

This is ready to show his sword to Wei Xiang!

"Wei Xiang, what do you think?"

Emperor Wan Yun did not agree or refuse, but asked Wei Xiang with a smile.

Wei Xiang stepped out and said respectfully, "Everything, please let your majesty make the decision."

"Hmm?"

Hearing Wei Xiang say this, all the civil and military officials in the court showed surprise.

It was really strange. Did Wei Xiang take the wrong medicine today? Why didn't he refute it?

Did he just watch the left prime minister and promote Shi Huan?

There is another reason why Changli City is so important. It is very close to Liufeng City where Wei Xiang is located. They are completely two adjacent cities.

Once Changli City is controlled by Shi Huan, the left prime minister will definitely restrict the large-scale circulation of magic tools to Liufeng City in the future, which is equivalent to choking Wei Xiang's throat from one aspect.

Wei Xiang is so wise, there is no reason why he can't see through it.

Why didn't he refute it?

"Okay, if that's the case, then issue an order to let Shi Huan serve as the lord of Changli City."

Seeing that Wei Xiang had nothing to say, Emperor Wan Yun also spoke calmly.

The left minister was very happy in his heart, but he didn't show it on the surface.

He clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, there is another book!"

"Play it."

"..."

Next, it was the left minister's counterattack.

During the past half month, he had obviously studied everything carefully.

Every talent he recommended was absolutely qualified and experienced, and the positions they were placed in were all related to cultivation resources. In other words, the left prime minister wanted to limit the cultivation resources flowing into the Prime Minister Wei's residence through this series of arrangements.

Really vicious, killing without bloodshed!

Surprisingly, Wei Xiang never refuted all this.

Every time Emperor Wan Yun would ask him what he thought.

And Wei Xiang only said, "Your Majesty, please make the decision."

Does this mean that Wei Xiang was submissive and admitted defeat?

No, it's impossible.

He had broken through the realm and was in high spirits. How could he be willing to be controlled by others?

The whole court was filled with the voice of the left prime minister.

This series of consecutive punches had completely stunned Wei Xiang in the eyes of the civil and military officials.

Finally, the left prime minister finished playing the last book and re-ranked.

This time, he nominated five of his confidants, three of whom were approved by Emperor Wan Yun.

The left prime minister was very satisfied with the result.

He was even a little proud.

He didn't understand why Prime Minister Wei kept giving in.

This has never been his character.

Could it be that he had other ideas?

Emperor Wan Yun glanced at the old eunuch, who immediately understood and said in a shrill voice, "Do you have any more manuscripts to play? If you have something to play, please get up and leave the court!"

Just when everyone thought that the overall situation had been decided, Prime Minister Wei stepped out - "Your Majesty, I have a manuscript to play!"
