Chapter 299 Ye Chen Goes to Court
Many dignitaries in the audience were shocked.
Ye Chen's words were equivalent to making it clear that he would help Wei Xiang ascend to the position of Prime Minister.
If others said this, no one would believe it, but Ye Chen...
He was the first on the Hidden Dragon List and had killed Kong Xiang, who had killed five times. It was definitely not a joke when he said this.
For a moment, those dignitaries looked at each other, each with their own thoughts.
It was just right to choose a side at this time.
When Wei Xiang gained the upper hand in the contest with Zuo Xiang in the court tomorrow, it would be too late to choose a side at that time.
"Sir Wei, you are definitely the most suitable candidate for the Prime Minister."
"Yes, who else can there be besides you?"
"No one can compete with you."
"Zuo Xiang, come and compare with you, he is not worthy."
Other officials all showed flattering smiles.
After weighing the pros and cons, they felt that Wei Xiang's future was far greater than Zuo Xiang's.
First of all, the left prime minister's backer, the prime minister, has defected, which will have some impact on his reputation.
In addition, the left prime minister has always relied on the prime minister to fight against Wei Xiang on equal terms.
However, Wei Xiang not only has the first pride of the Hidden Dragon List, but also a little girl with terrible strength.
How terrible is she?
Facing the provocation of the pride of the Three Mountains and Five Ridges, she ended the fight with one punch.
In her own words, this is still mercy.
Once these two people appear, they can definitely influence the situation!
Even a blind person can see that Wei Xiang has the advantage from any angle.
Wei Xiang bowed, "Thank you for your kindness, I hope you can say a few good words for me in the court tomorrow."
"Of course, Lord Wei, rest assured."
"In my heart, Lord Wei should be the prime minister."
"Wait until tomorrow, I will definitely make suggestions!"
Those dignitaries all had warm smiles on their faces.
But it is unknown how sincere they were.
The next morning, Ye Chen took Xiao Yuan'er and went to the imperial city with Wei Xiang.
Wei Zelong wanted to follow him shamelessly, but after being beaten by Wei Xiang, he was practicing formations in the backyard.
This battle of geniuses also exposed many problems.
Wei Zelong is indeed strong enough for ordinary geniuses, but he is still far behind the top geniuses of Xiaoyue Dynasty.
Wei Xiang has high hopes for this son.
He hopes that he can follow his footsteps and grow up together.
"Uncle Wei, how sure are you?"
Ye Chen asked on the warship.
"Originally, it was 60%, and after you joined, it is at least 90%!"
A sharp look flashed in Wei Xiang's eyes.
Because of absorbing the essence of the emperor's veins, Wei Xiang suddenly became a hundred years younger. During this period of time, his realm has been improving every day, and he has now stabilized at the level of five life-threatening.
It can be said that there are unlimited prospects in the future.
Five life-threatening can be ranked in the top ten in Xiaoyue Dynasty.
What's more, he is also a formation master!
His importance is self-evident.
This is his advantage.
"Ninety percent is too little, and there is still one percent uncertainty. Since I have taken action, I will definitely keep your chances of winning 100%!"
Ye Chen spoke calmly, quite confidently.
"Master is the best."
Xiao Yuan'er was listening with her head tilted aside.
She was really not interested in these so-called power struggles and struggles.
But she would wait for Ye Chen to finish speaking and then silently flatter him.
No matter what Ye Chen said, she would praise him heavily.
Some... awkward flattery taste.
Soon, the warship landed in front of the imperial city and the palace.
Wei Xiang walked in front, followed by Ye Chen and Xiao Yuan'er.
At this moment, many dignitaries gathered inside and outside the palace. Since it was not time to go to court yet, these dignitaries gathered in twos and threes, whispering about what had happened recently.
"Who do you think can go further between the two prime ministers?"
"You're talking nonsense, it must be Wei Xiang."
"I also prefer Lord Wei."
"Shh, shut up, Lord Zuo is here."
The officials immediately shut up.
Not far away, an expressionless middle-aged man was walking slowly.
A slight sharpness was revealed in his eyes, spreading in all directions.
It looked like it would almost hurt people's eyes.
"Hello, Lord Zuo."
The officials immediately smiled and bowed repeatedly.
However, Zuo Lianli ignored them and walked by.
"Bah, my teacher has betrayed me, and I'm still here to show off to us!"
A second-rank official was indignant and complained in a low voice.
The rest of the officials also nodded, indicating that they agreed with his opinion.
Zuo Xiang's eyes were cold and he flicked his fingers.
Swish!
A stream of black air silently pierced into the back of the second-rank official and merged into the spine.
The second-rank official only felt a chill on his back and his body instinctively twitched.
However, he didn't feel anything unusual, so he didn't take it to heart.
Little did he know that he only had half a day left to live.
"Go to court!"
After the eunuch Hou shouted, all the civil and military officials immediately lowered their heads, lined up, and walked towards the palace.
There were a total of a thousand people in the team, including some saintly masters who had killed four or five times.
These people entered the court and stood in order.
On the throne, the emperor released dragon energy all over his body, and he was majestic without anger.
"Your Highness, I pay my respects to you."
All the civil and military officials bowed and saluted.
The Xiaoyue Dynasty did not attach that much importance to rules.
When attending court, you don't even have to kneel down.
This time, all the dignitaries and officials were present.
Because everyone knew that the successor to the position of Prime Minister would most likely be announced at the court this time.
If nothing unexpected happens, it should be chosen from Wei Xiang and Zuo Xiang.
Both of them were prime ministers and had contributed a lot to the Xiaoyue Dynasty. Over the years, they had made great plans and managed the Xiaoyue Dynasty in an orderly manner, with abundant combat power and a surplus in the treasury.
It can be said that they all had great contributions.
However, in the past, there was the Prime Minister in charge, and both of them were his students, so it was not easy to show their attitude to take the position.
But now, the Prime Minister has defected to the land of mountains and ridges, and this position has become vacant.
The two forces, like wolves smelling prey, have all bared their fangs.
This court is destined to be a war of words.
"I know about the defection of the Prime Minister yesterday."
The emperor said calmly, "I am very disappointed. He is second only to me in status. Even the princes and princesses have to address him as 'Your Excellency'. Ask yourself, I have been good enough to him, but he chose to defect to the Three Mountains and Five Ridges, a barren land full of defeated enemies, at this critical moment!"
At the end, the emperor's voice was extremely majestic, with a sense of accountability.
In the void, a mighty dragon power echoed.
All the civil and military officials felt their hearts tremble and did not dare to look up.
