"Ye Xingchen, are you willing to serve as Minister of War?" the emperor said directly.
"I am willing to take over temporarily until the emperor finds a more suitable candidate." Ye Xingchen said.
Ye Xingchen is not stupid, it is obvious that the emperor is using him to evade Zhao Lei.
You must know that the Minister of War is in charge of all the troops in the imperial capital. Once Zhao Lei is eliminated, there is no need to worry about him leading troops to force the palace.
At the same time, it was equivalent to breaking off an arm of the Third Prince.
"Haha, okay, what a Ye Xingchen, hum!" Zhao Lei finished speaking angrily and then walked away.
Ye Xingchen looked at Zhao Lei who left angrily, with a cold murderous intent flashing in his eyes.
Ye Xingchen had no intention of letting the Zhao family go so easily. Since he had become an unrelenting enemy, he naturally wanted to kill the entire Zhao family.
"Your Majesty, I have something to report."
Just when everyone thought they were about to go to court, Ye Xingchen said immediately.
"My dear, please tell me, as long as I can satisfy you, I will not refuse." The emperor said bluntly.
At this moment, the emperor's words were equivalent to telling all civil and military officials that Ye Xingchen was the emperor's favorite.
"I request your majesty to betroth Princess Bai Yu to me." Ye Xingchen said immediately.
"Oh? Hahaha, okay, I agree." The emperor laughed happily and agreed directly.
"No." At this moment, the third prince stood up and refused directly.
"What? Why does the Third Prince think it's inappropriate?" The emperor suddenly became unhappy and said immediately.
"Princess Bai Yu wants to marry the third prince of Jin. Only by marrying the two countries can we protect the strength of our empire," the third prince said.
Hearing this, the emperor almost cursed angrily.
When the emperor was seriously ill, he had discussed with the third prince that Bai Yuxia should be married to the prince of Jin.
Later, the emperor found out that the three princes colluded with the Jin State and wanted to join forces to occupy the Tiandi Empire after the emperor's death.
It would be okay if the third prince didn't mention this matter, but now that he suddenly mentioned it, how could the emperor not be angry
"I believe that Princess Bai Yu is more suitable for Ye Aiqing, and I have decreed that Princess Bai Yu marry Ye Xingchen." The emperor said decisively.
The third prince frowned and wanted to say something more, but seeing the emperor looking like he was going to be furious, he finally chose to avoid the edge for the time being.
Ye Xingchen knew very well that the reason why the emperor decided to marry Bai Yu to him against all opinions was because he took a fancy to his future potential.
During the time when Ye Xingchen disappeared, the emperor sent someone to check on Ye Xingchen.
I found that Ye Xingchen was like a shining dark horse, soaring all the way to his current state.
If Ye Xingchen didn't have the guidance of an expert behind his back, he wouldn't believe it even if he killed the emperor.
Therefore, the emperor made a desperate move and put all his chips on Ye Xingchen, hoping that he could reverse the decadent situation of the Emperor's Empire.
Furthermore, Ye Xingchen was the adopted son of King Yun. With this double guarantee, the emperor naturally believed in Ye Xingchen even more.
"My dear friends, do you have anything else to say?" the emperor said in a rich voice.
In an instant, all the civil and military officials looked at each other, lowered their heads, and chose to remain silent.
"Retreat from the court." After the emperor finished speaking, he looked at Ye Xingchen happily, then stood up and left.
"Young Master Ye is a hero, and he will have to move around a lot in the future."
"Does Shangshu Ye have the idea of marrying a concubine? I have three beloved daughters in my family. You can choose from them."
"Shang Shu Ye, come to my house when you have time, and let's have a drink and talk."
A group of ministers surrounded Ye Xingchen and complimented him, making Ye Xingchen feel very uncomfortable.
If it weren't for helping the emperor stabilize the country, Ye Xingchen would not be interested in being the so-called minister of the Ministry of War.
"Young master Ye, you must not die on the way if you are a talented young man."
The third prince came forward and said in a strange tone.
"Haha, Your Majesty, you should worry about yourself. If you walk too much at night, your shoes will inevitably get wet." Ye Xingchen said sarcastically.
Hearing this, the Third Prince suddenly turned extremely ugly and left angrily.
After the morning court, Bai Yu received the news that his father had decreed that he would be betrothed to Ye Xingchen.
This made Bai Yu very happy. She finally got her wish and married the person she liked.
Moreover, the person I like is so outstanding.
After Ye Xingchen's morning session, he left the palace directly. He planned to do nothing without stopping.
Now that he has the support of the emperor and has become the Minister of War, why not take advantage of the situation and kill the entire Zhao family.
Immediately, Ye Xingchen mobilized two thousand imperial guards, called Ye Feng, and rushed towards the Zhao family.
On the streets of the Imperial City, all the people along the way knew that something was wrong when they saw the Imperial Guards rushing forward in unison.
"Hey, do you know what happened? The Royal Guards were actually dispatched?"
"Anyway, things are definitely going to change again in the imperial capital. Alas, I just hope it won't affect ordinary people like us."
"Tsk, tsk, I do hope that things will change in the imperial capital so that we can feel better."
The people on the road started talking when they saw the Imperial Guards advancing rapidly.
Ye Xingchen sat on a thousand-mile horse and quickly arrived at the Zhao family's residence with two thousand imperial guards.
As the first family in the imperial capital, the Zhao family's biggest backer is the third prince.
Furthermore, the head of the Zhao family, Zhao Lei, is the Minister of War and is in charge of the military power of the entire imperial capital, so he is naturally arrogant and domineering.
Now that two big trees were lost at once, Zhao Lei was a little discouraged.
What Zhao Lei didn't expect the most was that the emperor actually deprived himself of his official position and appointed a young boy as Minister of War.
"Master, what should we do now? If Ye Xingchen becomes powerful, he will definitely embarrass our Zhao family." An elder of the Zhao family said worriedly.
"Hmph, I don't believe that a young boy can subvert my entire Zhao family." Zhao Lei said bitterly.
Just when Zhao Lei was greeting the eighteenth generation of Ye Xingchen's ancestors, he suddenly saw guards rushing in.
"I'm so panicked. Do you still have any image?" Zhao Lei said with a displeased look on his face.
"Sorry, Master, the Royal Forest Army has surrounded us." The guard said in a panic.
In the past, the Zhao family was the dominant one. Who would have thought that today, they would be surrounded by the Royal Forest Army.
"What did you say?! The Royal Forest Army surrounded my Zhao family?" Zhao Lei was a little confused.
I had just been deprived of my position as Minister of War today, how could this imperial guard dare to make such a mistake
No matter how bad things go, the Zhao family is still the number one family in the imperial capital, and the imperial guards dared to besiege the Zhao family.
"Follow me out and take a look." Zhao Lei said angrily, and then rushed out of the family with long strides.
Following closely behind were the four elders of the Zhao family, who also looked astonished. How glorious the Zhao family was once upon a time.
