Chapter 627: Masters from all walks of life, the choice of the Emperor!
Faced with Fang Yi's suggestion, no one had responded, but Tie Tang was the first to raise a question: "Why is there no one in charge of the Central City Military and Horse Division?"
The Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division commanded Chaoge's military power and defended the Holy Capital. Such an important and key position was definitely competed by all forces. How could there be a vacancy?
This is simply incredible.
The Taibao looked a little helpless and said: "It's not because of you."
"Because of me?" This made Tie Tang confused.
"The person who was originally in charge of the Military and Horse Division of Zhongcheng was the peak Immortal Emperor of the Yu family. However, since you killed Qingyu, she has proposed several times to disband and return to the field to concentrate on transcending the realm.
Until a few days ago, she had made up her mind, even two warnings were useless, and she was completely dismissed from office.
There are two reasons inside...
It’s all because of you!”
Taibao's words made Tie Tang realize instantly.
Both reasons are not difficult to understand.
The desire of the Peak Immortal Emperor has naturally taken him one step further and entered the path of transcendence, which was already a dead end.
But he killed a transcendent Supreme from the Divine Palace, which lifted the restrictions on the Supreme that should have existed, and allowed many peak Immortal Emperors to see opportunities for advancement.
And the second reason...
It must be a face that Yu Wanwan specially sold to herself after meeting her.
The Yu family gave up a position in the Central City Military and Horse Department, which was naturally reserved for themselves. After all, he was now only a county guard in name.
In the past, the position of county governor was sufficient in Qingshui County and even Jiangdu Prefecture, but it was completely inadequate in Chaoge, the Holy Capital.
After thinking about this, Tie Tang looked a little strange.
Although Yu Wanwan had good intentions, she overlooked one point.
"I don't want to be an official..." Tie Tang muttered to himself.
He didn't want to sit in the position of the Military and Horse Department in the Central City.
Now he just wants to open up new laws and continue to promote his own orthodoxy so that everyone in the world can step into his own path.
On a larger scale, this can improve the overall strength of the human race and allow more geniuses, more gods, and even more overlords to emerge in the world.
To put it more simply, only by allowing more people to enter your path can you quickly improve your cultivation strength.
Otherwise, with his current cultivation level at the Dao Master Realm, if he wants to continue to advance to the Divine Emperor Realm, he will have to start at a thousand-year base.
While he was meditating, Duke Wu and Mu all expressed their opinions and agreed with Fang Yi's proposal.
Shang Yue glanced at the crowd and said, neither salty nor cool: "The Central City Soldiers and Horses Division protects Chaoge's arsenal, which is even more important than the other four-city Soldiers and Horses Divisions!
You must choose someone who is capable, trustworthy, and has extraordinary strength, otherwise it will be difficult to convince the public.
In my opinion...Tie Tang can take up this position!"
The Grand Tutor stroked his long beard and said with a smile: "The Iron Governor is a supervisor, so his character is naturally good and trustworthy. I also appreciate him very much."
Wu Yushi also nodded: "You must also know the strength of the orthodox pioneers. Even if we go to the court tomorrow, no one would dare to question it. I will agree with it."
"I also recommend Tie Tang!" The Taibao would not object.
The Grand Master frowned and said coldly: "I have no objection."
Just when the matter was about to be settled, a distinctive voice came from the main hall.
"I object!"
Several people couldn't believe it and looked at the person who spoke.
It was Tie Tang.
He opposed himself and exceeded everyone's expectations.
Uh-huh~
Tie Tang stood up suddenly and faced the high-ranking officials and princes in front of him. His eight-foot body stood like a mountain, blocking the rising sun outside.
"Everyone, I understand your good intentions. It's just that Tie has no ambition to fight in the temple. If he is a man of the world and has affairs in the world, but there is a place where he can get Tie Tang, you can speak out and I have no excuses.
As for being an official...that's not what I'm good at, so I hope you can forgive me!"
He changed his self-identity several times in one sentence, all of which have different meanings and represent different identities.
Especially when you claim to be your true self in the end, you are showing off as an orthodox pioneer and cannot be easily rejected by others.
"this……"
Everyone was stunned for a while.
Originally, in their view, this matter was almost a certainty, and the force of resistance would only come from the outside. Unexpectedly, problems occurred internally first.
Those who were not familiar with Tie Tang knew that he had made up his mind when he heard him calling himself his true self, and they did not dare to dissuade him easily.
On the contrary, Taibao, Shang Yue, Qu Bo and Wan Lin were not determined to give up, and they all expressed their hope that he could take up the post of the Military and Horse Department of Zhongcheng.
"Tie Tang, since you have opened up the orthodox path, you should understand that there are some things that need to be borne by you. The Central City Soldiers and Horses Division is just the starting point, not the end.
The imperial court needs people like you, and the people of the world need officials like you!"
Taibao spoke sincerely and pointed out the road to success in the future.
Tie Tang waved his hand seriously: "I understand what you all think, and I have thanked you for your kindness, but I really don't have the skills to do the job and have many things to do.
Besides, if there are no accidents...
I will not leave the Holy Capital in a short period of time. If anything happens, I will obey the orders and there is no need to wear the tiger skin of the Soldiers and Horses Division."
After saying that, he made a casual move, and there were two more official seals on his hand, which were tied around his waist casually, and everyone completely understood what he meant.
"But..." Taibao wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by Wu Mu.
"Since Governor Tie already holds two positions, it is indeed inconvenient for him to serve as the director of the Central City again. I will recommend another person later."
When Wu Mu opened his mouth, these experienced veterans and top figures in the officialdom who were present, how could they still not smell it?
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Feng Bingyao, who had been taking it calmly and sitting quietly, suddenly felt seven or eight extremely sharp eyes falling on her.
The eyes of these supreme overlords were like the passing of a stunning divine sword, invisibly setting off arrow-like waves near her.
"Um?"
Feng Bingyao clenched his right hand, thunder erupted in the void, and a shadow of a drunken and leisurely Immortal Lord appeared behind him, blocking all eyes.
"Feng Li... Could it be that you want to recommend your disciple to be the director of Zhongcheng?" Shang Yue's tone was a little strange.
Wu Mu's face didn't even tremble, and he said calmly: "You should not avoid relatives when promoting talents. She has this ability, why not?"
The Grand Master smiled and said: "Dou Lu Yan only practiced the Taoism passed down by his ancestors, but Feng Bingyao was the founder of the Taoism, and he did not show any concessions compared to Tie Tang.
For her to serve as the director of the Military and Horse Department of Zhongcheng is enough to convince the public!"
The other four cities' military and horse divisions are all served by the Peak Immortal Emperor, and the director of the middle city should be no exception.
Otherwise, not to mention other officials in the court, even the various generals under the Zhongcheng Military and Horse Division may not be convinced.
Tie Tang does not have this realm, and neither does Feng Bingyao. Both of them are now in the Taoist realm.
But realm is realm, and strength is strength.
These two are both orthodox pioneers!
And in the past, there have been records of challenging or even defeating the Immortal Emperor Realm.
Now that Tie Tang doesn't want to go deep into the court, Feng Bingyao can take on this position, which can suppress most of the voices.
Fang Yi solemnly said: "Miss Feng's strength... is barely up to par, but... she is a white woman, and she didn't have much qualifications in the past...
If you are suddenly promoted to a fourth-grade position, I'm afraid it will attract criticism."
"In extraordinary times, extraordinary things need to be done!" Taifu said: "Nowadays, the world is in chaos and the court is in turmoil. If we still pay attention to seniority... it would be too rigid."
As a result, three of the three Dukes of Wu and Mu have expressed their positions, and only Taibao is left undecided.
Fang Yi and his six great masters, as well as the two deputy palace masters Qu Bo and Wan Lin, as well as Wu Yushi, all noticed that today seemed to be a bit calculated.
And the person who made the plan...
Undoubtedly, Wu Mu was the leader and Taishi was the auxiliary.
As for the Taifu...it has always been like this, and everyone can't see anything.
Originally, the tacit understanding among everyone today was to give the post of director of Zhongcheng that had been given up by the Yu family to Tie Tang intact.
This is a result that everyone can accept. Even at the court meeting, not many people would dare to object.
But no one expected that Tie Tang would refuse!
Thus.
Wu Mu took action at the right time, and recommended Feng Bingyao, which caught everyone present off guard.
If someone else was recommended today, even if it were any peak Immortal Emperor here, others would easily reject it.
The position of director of Zhongcheng was originally given by the Yu family. Without the nod of the Yu family, no matter who was recommended, it would obviously not be so easy to succeed.
But this person is Feng Bingyao!
She has both Wu Mu's background and Feng Yi's network resources.
The key is……
She also knew Tie Tang very well.
With this relationship, you can easily bypass the Yu family.
The officials who did not express other positions had complicated expressions on their faces, secretly saying that Wu Mu's half-hand screenshot was as mysterious and unpredictable as his Yuanshi magic palm.
As expected.
Hearing that Wu Mu recommended Feng Bingyao for the post, Tie Tang naturally smiled and nodded in agreement: "Okay! The melting pot of officialdom is the best way to temper the worldly mentality.
Your cultivation level has improved so quickly, so you should really go through some hardships and polish it."
"I object too!"
Feng Bingyao said this without hesitation and looked at Tie Tang: "You don't want to bear this responsibility, and neither do I."
But at this time, Wu Mu scolded somewhat sternly: "Yao'er, don't do this nonsense!"
After saying this, the void trembled, and Feng Bingyao's face changed several times, apparently receiving a message from Wu Mu.
A few moments.
The Taibao said slowly: "With Wu Mu's endorsement, and Miss Feng's past reputation... let's let this matter be settled for now. The two prime ministers will make a decision at the meeting tomorrow. What do you think?"
The Three Dukes of Wu and Mu unified their opinions, and even the left and right prime ministers found it difficult to object. Shang Yue, Fang Yi and others naturally nodded in agreement.
after all……
Feng Bingyao herself is indeed an excellent candidate!
The only flaw is that she is too close to Wu Mu.
This appointment may affect the balance of the major forces in the court that has been tacitly agreed for a long time.
In the eight-hundred-year-old Shang Dynasty, various forces have already divided up all the power, including the Fang family, the Yu family, the Li family, the Taiyi family, etc. Each force has its own position.
It can be said to be a real carrot and a pit.
Any position that is vacant cannot be filled by anyone who wants to fill it. Even the two prime ministers and three ministers do not have this power.
"In my opinion..."
While everyone was still immersed in this decision and savoring the undercurrent, Tie Tang interrupted everyone's thoughts.
"In my opinion, there must be someone behind Director Shi's proposal to add fuel to the flames. He may be a participant, or he may not even know it, and he was pushed out to stand out.
I wonder what this person’s character was like in the past and what his reputation was like?”
"Haha~" The grand master chuckled twice, seeming to be teasing: "I don't blame you for not going deep into the court.
Shi Weijian's temper is like a stone in a latrine, smelly and hard.
But I have to admit that he and the people around him are intricately connected and have deep roots. It is impossible to use his hand to add fuel to the flames!
His proposal this time... must be personally involved!"
Shang Yue also nodded: "They are all old foxes. It is indeed difficult to plot against that bitch.
That's why at the court meeting, I will swing my sword in anger without fear of killing the wrong person."
Tie Tang did not object, and thought for a moment, then continued: "In any case, since someone has proposed to elect a new Emperor...
It means 'those people'... We already have a target candidate for the Human Emperor, who do you think it will be?
And since Shi Weijian has spoken, he must have recommended someone, right?"
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the venue suddenly became extremely weird.
Fang Yi, the six great gods, and even the two palace masters Qu Bo and Wan Lin all set their sights on the top position in the middle.
This move immediately made Tie Tang understand the reason.
"ah?"
"The person recommended by Director Shi...could he be the Master of the Shang Palace?"
Shang Yue's face was terrifyingly gloomy, but he still nodded and admitted: "So this move of his is powerful!
It is impossible for him to expose his inner intentions and directly recommend the person with the power behind him, otherwise he will inevitably be attacked by a group of people.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! There were so many choices to make, but I was chosen, which made it difficult for other officials to refute for a while.
Some people even thought that he and I were singing a double act, how could we not make me angry?"
Even Tie Tang had not thought of this move beforehand.
He secretly tasted the meaning and soon figured out some meanings.
In terms of the current structure of Dashang, there are only a few people to elect a new emperor.
First of all, in terms of cultivation strength...
This limits it to the fact that it must be transcendent and supreme!
Without transcendent supreme strength, it is impossible to convince the public, even if all the officials at the court agree, it will be useless.
The Immortal Court and the underworld will laugh at him, and even directly kill the new Human Emperor.
With this tacit understanding, who can now become the new emperor in the court...
There are only the left prime minister, the right prime minister, Shang Yue, and the two kings Jiang Yong and Pei Tianyi!
And among them——
The two human kings were not of good background. After all, they were the ones who lost the battle with the human emperor for the great treasure, and they had rarely interfered with the court in the past eight hundred years. Their power in the court seemed too weak.
There are three people left.
The left prime minister and the right prime minister are very popular, and they have great strength, powerful influence and high prestige. If any one of them becomes the new emperor, he can get the support of many people.
But these two...
But they are all old antiques that have lived for countless years and gone through many dynasties.
In their eyes, the rebirth and downfall of a dynasty are no different from the alternation of the sun and the moon, and will not cause too many waves.
Moreover, the forces involved behind the Left Prime Minister and the Right Prime Minister are too complex, and even include some ancient officials from various past dynasties, and their own backgrounds are by no means too clean.
If you recommend these two...
This will lead to opposition from the officials of the new era led by the Taibao, including the group of princes at the beginning of the dynasty, who probably do not want to see the emperor who is too "evil".
And the last remaining Shang Yue...
He is indeed the best candidate on the surface!
He, the head of the Supervisory Hall, was personally promoted by the Emperor during his reign, and was appointed to compete with all the officials in the entire imperial court, including the left prime minister, the right prime minister, and Duke Wu and Mu.
This extremely 'clean' background also means that Shang Yue is definitely a direct descendant of the Human Emperor and has no other messy relationships.
It will naturally attract the approval of many followers of the Human Emperor in the past.
At the same time, Shang Yue is currently the last transcendent supreme being promoted in the world of heaven and earth. His strength meets the requirements of the Human Emperor, he is not too old in age, and his resume is extremely clean.
Coupled with the prestige established by the Overwatch Hall for eight hundred years, even the general public in various parts of the world will be more likely to accept such a 'new human emperor'!
Shi Weijian recommended Shang Yue. No matter what the ultimate goal was, it was indeed a very powerful move.
After sorting out the whole context, Tie Tang crossed his fingers and folded his hands, looking at Shang Yue calmly: "Palace Master!
In this case...
Why don't you hit the snake and follow it with the stick, nod your head and wait to see what his next move is?"
