Volume 1, Chapter 259: He can control 80,000 subordinates and will be the future boss of South City.
After the emperor left.
The ministers remained motionless.
According to etiquette, there is a prince here, and the royal bloodline should go first.
Chao Xiao had already calmed down his previous emotions at this moment.
It can be seen that his control over his emotions is far beyond that of ordinary people.
He walked down the second-floor platform calmly.
Come to Ye Tingmu's side.
There was a hint of smile on his face, and he completely ignored Feng He who was glaring at him.
He bowed to Ye Tingmu.
"Congratulations to Shu Jian Hou for becoming my Jiuzhou Tian Hou."
Ye Tingmu raised his eyebrows, neither humble nor arrogant, and returned the same greeting.
"Thank you, Your Highness."
"At such a young age, and having reached the rank of Marquis Tian, the Shujian Marquis has an unlimited future. He will surely become the cornerstone of our Jiuzhou Empire in the future."
Ye Tingmu looked at Chao Xiao, whose eyes were filled with smiles, and his heart was slightly moved.
If a smile can hide a knife, then the knife that Chao Xiao is hiding in front of him must be sharp and fast.
Such a person is scary because not only does he hide a knife, he will also stab you when you don't know.
He smiled back.
"I dare not take the responsibility. I heard that Your Highness is a great talent in the Nine Provinces for thousands of years. With Your Highness, the Nine Provinces do not need anyone else to be the cornerstone of the country's revitalization."
"Haha..." Chao Xiao laughed heartily.
"The world's false praise, the empty reputation of fearlessness, is all for today. I will meet with Shu Jian Hou again when I have time. Farewell."
"Goodbye!"
After saying goodbye, Chao Xiao strode out.
Feng He poked his head out and asked in confusion, "Brother, why is this guy so weird? When I see him smile, I feel scared!"
Ye Tingmu touched his chin, thoughtfully.
"This guy is not a good person!"
Feng He made the same gesture, touching his chin and nodding.
I totally agree with what my elder brother said.
At this time, everyone came forward to congratulate.
"Congratulations to Marquis Shujian..."
"Greetings, Fourth Prince..."
Of course, there were also some people who did not agree with the two and left quietly.
Ye Tingmu also started chatting with a group of people whose names he couldn't remember.
Isn't it just acting? He's good at this. If you praise me, I will praise you too.
hey-hey.
Officials flatter each other and control each other tightly.
At this time, outside the door, the ministers were gathered in groups of three or four, discussing what had just happened.
"Today, I have gained a lot of knowledge."
"Yes, the Fourth Prince's words were shocking. I was so scared that I broke out in a cold sweat."
"To be honest, I almost had a seizure."
"That Shujian Hou is incredible. I think he's much more ruthless than the Fourth Prince. Look at the Fourth Prince, he's fearless, but in front of him, he doesn't even lose his temper."
"That's right...it's because I made the eldest prince angry."
"With the death of the old Heavenly Master, His Majesty has no more concerns. It seems he will forcefully ensure that the Fourth Prince ascends the throne."
"The death of the Third Prince must have been caused by the old Heavenly Master. Your Majesty's attitude towards the First Prince is very bad."
"Indeed, if it happened to someone else today, they would have been punished. But today, there was no punishment, no reprimand, and instead, there was a reward. What's going on?"
"No need to say more. We just need to remember that whether it's the Marquis of Shujian or the Fourth Prince, we should stay away from them from now on. We must not provoke them. If we are not careful, we will be killed."
The others nodded, expressing their deep agreement.
After all, there is the lesson of General Li.
That was a bloody lesson.
The Fourth Prince really dares to draw his sword and strike.
Even Wang Changsheng has fallen, who dares to mess with him?
The prince was living outside, and when he returned to the imperial city, he had to behave himself humbly.
These two brothers are really good. They made all the ministers afraid during a morning court session.
That's just not too arrogant.
He even dared to confront the emperor.
At this time, Ye Tingmu and Feng were also preparing to return home.
After all, it was almost noon and I was really hungry.
Just walked out of the hall.
Zhang Ruling walked towards him.
There was a hearty smile on his face, and before he reached the two of them, his laughter came first.
He bowed to the two of them and said, "Zhang Ruling greets the young prince and the Marquis of Tian."
Ye Tingmu's brows sank. He remembered clearly that it was this guy who sang the same tune with the emperor and tricked him into taking this ridiculous position of Shaoqing.
"Prime Minister Zhang, what are you doing..."
Zhang Ruling lightly twirled his goatee.
"Tianhou, are you doing well in the position I recommended for you today?"
Ye Tingmu was speechless. Could it be that this guy was guarding here to ask for credit from him?
He rolled his eyes and said sarcastically, "Thank you."
"Hahaha.....There's no need to thank me, Tian Hou. Do you think you could come with me? We can talk about the Shao Qing position on the way."
Ye Tingmu did not refuse.
After all, he is the prime minister and also Li Changling's senior brother, so he and Li Changling have some friendship.
"Okay... let's go!"
"please..."
Although the other party is the prime minister, to be honest, he is still a marquis.
We exchanged pleasantries along the way until we reached the exit of the palace.
The young general from before respectfully handed the thunder back to Ye Tingmu.
And said: "Congratulations, Mr. Ye, for being awarded the title of Heavenly Marquis."
Ye Tingmu looked at the young general in front of him with interest.
He smiled and said, "Are you well-informed?"
"No, I just heard about it."
"May I have your name?"
"I am Lei Chuan, a fifth-rank sword-bearing guard of the Imperial Guard."
Ye Tingmu raised an eyebrow and said, "Okay, I'll remember you. Let's go."
After saying that, he left with Zhang Ruling and Feng He.
Lei Chuan's face was filled with joy.
"Farewell, Your Highness, Lord Marquis, Prime Minister..."
They say we are in the same industry, and we really are in the same industry.
Zhang Ruling climbed straight onto their bicycle frame.
Fortunately, this eight-horse chariot with a hundred beasts is a large carriage and can accommodate everyone.
The three of them sat opposite each other in the carriage.
The carriage drove towards the mansion.
Ye Tingmu and Zhang Ruling also started chatting.
"Tian Hou, you don't know that although the position of Shao Qing is only of the third rank, and usually only judges cases, it is a real power. Zhulu City is vast and has a population of 50 million. It is a big city. The city is divided into four cities: East, West, South, and North. Each city has a government office, and the South City has the largest area and the largest population. The South City government has 36 halls, 30,000 soldiers, and nearly 50,000 constables. All of them are under your direct management."
Ye Tingmu felt a headache after listening to the first half.
A city with a population of 50 million, then Dangdang South City may have more than 10 million people.
So many people? Squeak.
What does the thirty-six halls mean?
That means there are thirty-six branch offices that have to try cases every day.
How many civil disputes will this cause?
But after hearing the second half, I couldn't help but smile.
With the help of government soldiers and constables, eighty thousand little brothers, it seems that it is not impossible.
Then I will be the boss of South City in the future.
hey-hey.
As one of the Four Young Ministers, and also the weather, it seems to be really good.
Since ancient times, the king's power in the Nine Provinces was not in the court but in the wild, and the princes' power was only in name only, not in reality.
Ye Tingmu is also an exception.
The first marquis to have real power.
And he was a 21-year-old marquis of a different surname.
"That's fine, but it's a bit troublesome to attend the morning court."
Zhang Ruling smiled when he heard this.
"You are worrying too much, Lord Tian. You are the Lord Tian and you cannot attend court unless summoned. Besides, His Majesty rarely holds morning court. I usually preside over it. If you don't want to come, then don't come. I will take the blame for you."
Looking at the other party's arrogant look, Ye Tingmu couldn't help but shake his head. Is this guy showing off to him?
But it’s okay, as long as I don’t have to go to court.
I usually study and get up at dawn at the earliest.
This morning court session, we have to get up before the moon sets. Who can stand it?
