Xiang Chen sneered at the side: "Master Amano is a man who loves his soldiers as much as his son. You love your soldiers as much as your son, so you deduct their military pay?"
"If the soldiers below knew what you said, would they want to call you a mother-in-law?"
"Bastard, you are a foreigner. Being able to attend the court meeting is already a gift to you. Who gave you the courage to sow discord within our race?"
Zhu Tianye slapped Xiang Chen angrily, shifting the conflict to the racial issue.
And Xiang Chen really received this slap on purpose.
He spat out a large mouthful of blood and was knocked away, hitting a pillar.
"Presumptuous!" Zhu Hongxin Huang slapped the dragon case: "Zhu Tianye, where is the Wuhuang Palace where you think I am?"
Xiang Chen stood up holding his chest, coughing out blood and said: "Master Zhu, do you want to kill someone and silence them? Fortunately, I wore three pieces of heavenly defense armor."
The people around you were speechless after hearing this. You wore three pieces of heavenly defense armor. You must have been prepared to receive this slap from others.
But if you think about it carefully, Xiang Chen's words about his mother just angered Zhu Tianye.
"Your Majesty, this kid is here to deliberately sow discord within our Witch God Clan. You must not fall into his scheme." Zhu Tianye said earnestly to the new Emperor Zhu Hong.
How can Zhu Hong's trust in Xiang Chen be heard? He went to Zhu Tianye's words. This was originally arranged by them in advance. Zhu Hongxinhuang said coldly: "Zhu Tianye, don't divert the conflict!"
"What I'm talking about now is your corruption. The information in it is well-documented. You can tell at a glance whether it's forged or not. If you want to make excuses, I can ask the Dream Witch to interrogate all the people involved in it in their dreams. Is it true that you are embezzling?
Yes, you know it well."
"But fortunately, you have served the dynasty loyally for so many years, and no one will hold you accountable for your serious crimes. The position of Minister of the Ministry of War is not suitable for you. I think King Tianwu is very suitable to succeed you."
Zhu Hong's words were tantamount to depriving the other party of his power and position.
Among the crowd, the fourth prince immediately walked out and bowed: "I am willing to take over the burden from my second uncle."
He is the Tianwu King. After his defeat, he had already made clear his position to support the eldest prince. Generally speaking, the Yanwu royal family is fairly united. There are fights, but they know how to choose when it comes to big matters.
Zhu Tianye looked at the fourth prince in disbelief, and was stabbed in the back by his own nephew.
But he immediately figured out the reason.
The new emperor was not targeting himself, but the layout of the old Witch Emperor. He was loyal to the old Witch Emperor, and Zhu Hong wanted to keep the military power in his own people and in his own hands.
At the same time, selecting the fourth prince is a great move.
The fourth prince is his nephew, and if he doesn't retreat at this moment, the relationship between the fourth prince and himself will inevitably be affected to a certain extent.
After all, the fourth prince is his nephew. If his nephew takes over his power, he will not be so resistant in his heart. A nephew is half a son, and the fourth prince will undoubtedly support his eldest brother.
As for the mother clan behind the four princes, the Thunder Witch Clan, they could consider that they would not offend. The Thunder Witch Clan still held high positions in the ancient dynasty, they just had a new and loyal emperor.
At the same time, it makes it difficult for the Supreme Wizard Emperor to object, because the fourth prince and Zhu Tianye are actually in the same interest group, but they are loyal to different people.
"What a profound and sophisticated political consideration. Is this the idea of Zhu Hong or his human counselor?" Zhu Tianye thought about the subtleties and couldn't help but glance at Xiang Chen.
If this person came up with it, this person's control over the power of politics and benefiting people's hearts is so terrifying that even an old emperor who is not proficient in the art of emperors would have a hard time figuring it out.
"If this person sincerely works for our dynasty, he will be considered a blessing to the dynasty." Zhu Tianyi's murderous intention towards Xiang Chen actually became weaker.
Zhu Tianye sighed inwardly: "Your Majesty, your plan in the Ministry of War was ruined by your son."
Zhu Tianye said bitterly: "I am willing to hand over the power to King Tianwu."
He knew that he would definitely not be able to take the position of Minister of War.
Because if the soldiers below knew that he had embezzled so much, they would not cause trouble.
In fact, the Zhu Amano brothers have embezzled so much, and sometimes they are helpless.
Because they also deliberately embezzled so much and deliberately left such a handle for Zhu Chunfeng.
Only a subordinate who has something to hold in his own hands can be a subordinate who can hold the position for a long time and is reassured by the emperor.
Because if you have different intentions, because of your leverage, he can reveal it at any time and use it to kill you.
Otherwise, he and Zhu Tianxiong are both Taichu Holy Emperors and members of the royal family with high positions of authority. How could they be so short of money? As for embezzling so much military pay?
This is equivalent to a person with an annual salary of one million deliberately stealing a battery car. Could it be because he is short of money?
Zhu Tianye saw the brilliance of this move, and the other ministers also saw it. Most of the people hanging around here are old people from the temple, and they are all empty-minded.
"Very good. You have served the dynasty for so many years. You have toiled hard even without function. I will not announce the corruption to the public. Just keep your name clean and enjoy your retirement."
Sure enough, as soon as he relented, Zhu Hong immediately showed mercy to him.
"Thank you for your understanding, Your Majesty." Zhu Tianye knelt down and thanked him.
"King Tianwu wishes Tu Tu to obey his orders!"
"My brother is here!" The fourth prince stepped forward respectfully.
"From today on, you will take charge of the Ministry of War instead of Mr. Zhu Amano. I hope that the Ministry of War will become stronger under your leadership."
"Thank you, Your Majesty. I will do my best for the dynasty and strengthen the army and the clan!" The fourth prince knelt down to accept the order.
And Xiang Chen also had a smile on his face.
The fourth prince is indeed talented in the military. However, in terms of military control, military control, strategy, command ability, and command awareness, there is still a big gap between him and the two brothers Zhu Tianye who have been in charge for so many years, and they need to be tempered.
This is equivalent to replacing the experienced Lian Po with Zhao Kuo. Although Zhao Kuo has real talents, he has too little practice and is too arrogant, which is why he ended up with the tragedy that was caused by talking on paper.
Lian Po's reputation will last forever, and it is indispensable that he is supported by his peers.
This is naturally a good thing for Xiang Chen. Within a certain period of time, it will invisibly weaken the military command ability of the Ancient Dynasty.
And in the palace of Taishang Wuhuang.
What happened here was narrated to Zhu Chunfeng by Eunuch Wei at almost the same time.
Zhu Chunfeng frowned slightly after hearing this: "What a boss, he can actually come up with such a move to replace my chess. I didn't expect him to be so capable in this area. I underestimated him."
"Your Majesty, do you need me to deliver a message to restore Mr. Zhu Tianye?" Eunuch Wei said in a low voice.
The Ancient Witch King shook his head: "He is gone. This handle is in Zhu Hong's hand and he can no longer sit still. He deliberately left the handle for me back then, but now he has been caught by Zhu Hong. It is also karma."
"That's all, let the Ministry of War give it to him. I have robbed him of his power too much, and he will turn things around when things go to extremes. With such considerations and strategies, I will feel more at ease when I leave here in the future."
