Chapter 1041 The return of the dragon god, the governor of the nine gates
Chapter 1041 The Dragon God returns to his throne and the Governor of the Nine Gates
At this time, another subordinate spoke cautiously.
"General, my subordinate has something to say, and I don't know whether I should say it or not."
"But it doesn't matter."
"Recently, I have vaguely heard rumors. It seems that the top military officials are evaluating the gains and losses of the last expedition you led to the [Dragon Temple]. Because in that battle, the [Dragon Temple] suffered heavy casualties, which has never happened in recent decades.
.”
The subordinate looked at Shi Xinrong's reaction and whispered, "I'm worried that they will take advantage of the situation and pursue your fault?"
Shi Xinrong smiled contemptuously and said, "It's ridiculous! In that battle, [Dragon Temple] suffered heavy casualties, but [Tiangu Temple] suffered more casualties. This was obviously a victory, so why should I be wrong?"
The subordinate smiled bitterly for a moment.
Having said that, any soldier who has been in the military for a period of time knows this.
When the last Dragon God Chen Qi was in power, the [Dragon Temple] led by Chen Qi never suffered any defeats.
Moreover, most of them turned defeat into victory when the enemy was strong and we were weak.
Someone has made statistics. During Chen Qi's reign, he fought hundreds of battles, large and small, and the total number of soldiers sacrificed was less than 30,000.
When Shi Xinrong led the Dragon Temple to fight for the first time, more than 100,000 people were killed or injured.
Comparing the two, which one is stronger and which one is weaker can be known at a glance.
It is precisely because of this that there are many voices opposing Shi Xinrong in the military department.
It's just that Shi Xinrong felt good about himself and was covering his ears.
Of course, this is not something that a small subordinate like him can say. All he can do is to make insinuations and vague reminders.
Shi Xinrong took a sip of his drink and said, "I know what you are worried about."
"It is true that my promotion to the commander of [Dragon Temple] has made many people in the military jealous."
"They were dissatisfied and thought how could I, a young person with insufficient experience, step on their heads."
"But I have the confidence to prove to them that I, Shi Xinrong, am no worse than that Chen Qi."
Shi Xinrong smiled and said, "Speaking of which, not long ago that Chen Qi came to my banquet to cause trouble, threatening that he would regain the position of Dragon God?"
"In my opinion, he is talking nonsense!"
"Not to mention whether he has that idea, even if he does, can reality allow him to achieve his wish?"
"Don't forget, my grandfather is one of the three elders in the cabinet!"
This is where Shi Xinrong is most confident.
His grandfather Shi Zhitong was the second elder in the cabinet and had absolute say in the cabinet.
In the past, the position of leader of the [Dragon Temple] was always taken by the Shi family.
As for Chen Qi's appearance, it was a complete accident.
In this way, his appointment as Dragon God is just getting back on track.
As for Chen Qi, after being ordered to be dismissed, he wanted to regain his power?
With his mediocre background and reckless energy, how easy is it?
After all, it is now a world where the weak eat the strong.
In the struggle for power, if you have no one to rely on, it will be difficult to achieve much.
While Shi Xinrong was feeling complacent, one of Shi Xinrong's cronies suddenly hurried in from outside the door.
"General! General! Something big has happened!"
Shi Xinrong glanced at the other party unhappily, "Why are you so alarmed? Can you tell me?"
"Just now, the military department issued an announcement, promoting Chen Qi to the position of Governor of the Nine Gates, taking charge of the nine gates of China, and giving him the name: Dragon General of Zhenguo!"
As soon as he said these words, the whole hall fell into silence.
Everyone was stunned and couldn't believe what they heard.
Governor of the Nine Gates, Dragon General of the Zhenguo, although these two are new terms.
But just from the name, you can feel its weight.
Those present were all veterans who had been involved in the military department all year round, and they were very clear about the current situation of the military department.
Under normal circumstances, the military department will not add new positions to the original official level structure.
Because this will fundamentally change the hierarchy of the entire military department, and this is no joke.
However, at this juncture, the military department suddenly added the "Governor of Nine Gates", which is an official position that is superior to thousands of positions.
Even a fool can tell that the military is serious this time.
Oh~~~
Shi Xinrong suddenly jumped up from his seat.
"Is this true?
Zheng Qiang, you know, I hate others taking advantage of me for fun!"
Shi Xinrong stared at the subordinate named Zheng Qiang fiercely and said.
Zheng Qiang smiled bitterly, "General, at this time, how can I dare to make fun of you?"
"This is the announcement personally issued by the military cabinet just now, saying that Chen Qi will be re-promoted to become the Dragon God."
"However, on the basis of the original, Chen Qi will be promoted to a higher rank again and promoted to the 'Governor of Nine Gates'!"
Shi Xinrong staggered, as if he felt a bolt from the blue.
Recalling what he had promised a moment ago, Chen Qi's attempt to regain the position of Dragon God was undoubtedly an idiot's dream.
But now, not only has he returned to power, he has also been directly appointed as the ‘Governor of Nine Gates’!
Governor of the Nine Gates, what is that concept?
He controls the nine gates of China and has overwhelming power in the world. No one can surpass him.
In the past, when Chen Qi was the Dragon God, he held a high position and had the power of life and death, but after all, there was a [Cabinet] above his head, and he was more or less restricted.
Now, if Chen Qi becomes the governor of the Nine Gates, his authority will be almost equal to that of the [Cabinet], or even a few points higher.
I would like to ask, how is this different from the ancient royal family conferring kings and marquises?
"I do not believe!"
"This is definitely not true!"
Shi Xinrong couldn't believe it and couldn't believe it.
The conflict between him and Chen Qi is already well known.
It can be said that Chen Qi was dismissed because he was behind the scenes.
Now if Chen Qi returns to his position and is even given the title of 'Governor of Nine Gates', one can only imagine how the other party will deal with him.
Without any time to think about it, Shi Xinrong grabbed his clothes and hat on the table and rushed out the door in a hurry.
He must personally verify the authenticity of this matter. Even if it is true, he must find out the reason.
Isn't grandpa Shi Zhitong one of the three elders in the cabinet?
It is impossible for Shi Zhitong not to know the consequences of Chen Qi's rise to power. How could he let this happen and sit back and watch?
At the same time, the inner court of the Chen royal family.
Chen Qi, who was playing with Wanwan in the courtyard, temporarily entertained Qinglong, Xuanwu and Suzaku who came to announce the good news.
"Dragon Lord! This is really an eye-opener. You can finally lead the [Dragon Temple] again and become our immediate boss!"
Xuanwu said excitedly, "Doubt, we can follow you to conquer the world again!"
Qinglong, who has always been calm, was also excited, "Yes, and this time you not only returned to your position smoothly, but you also got a promotion!"
Zhuque beamed, "What should we call you from now on?"
The Dragon God, the Governor of the Nine Gates, or the Dragon General who governs the country?"
In response, Chen Qi just smiled, his expression remained calm.
"It's just a title, why should you take it so seriously?"
"This is not a simple title. [Governor of the Nine Gates], you are in charge of the three armies of the sea, land and air force. From now on, you will be the generalissimo of the three armies!"
Chen Qi waved his hand, "Okay, okay, I already know this. You have repeated it seven or eight times."
"Aren't I happy for you, Lord Dragon?"
Xuanwu touched his head and said with an honest smile.
