Two days later, time flew by.
At Shenshi (3-5 PM), the Zhenwu Division appointed Ren Zhuantang.
A middle-aged man yawned.
"The Grand Commander has arrived!"
Just then, a voice announced something from outside the door.
The middle-aged man suddenly stood up.
"He Feifan pays his respects to the Grand Commander!"
"Two transfer orders are to be drafted."
Jiang Lan looked at He Feifan and said, "First, we agree to Tuoba Ye's resignation and transfer him to the Imperial Academy."
Second, Li Fan was appointed Governor of Yunzhou under the Zhenwu Commandery.
Jiang Lan's words were like a thunderclap.
He Feifan composed himself and then said in a low voice, "Grand Commander, the appointment and removal of a governor of a prefecture requires a written order from the relevant authorities."
The Chief is currently in seclusion. If there is no warrant, you, the Deputy Chief, and the Chief Elder will need to make a joint decision!
Otherwise, it might be against the rules.
"Take a look at the Chief's token!"
"Yes, sir!"
Upon seeing the Yanbei token, He Feifan no longer refused.
Two transfer orders were drafted quickly.
One letter was sent to the Tuoba Mansion in Tiandu, and another to Yunzhou.
......
After Jiang Lan left, He Feifan rode his horse and galloped towards a certain place in Tiandu.
Half an hour later, he entered a mansion.
"Your subject He Feifan greets Your Excellency Chief!"
He Feifan knelt down to pay his respects.
Compared to Jiang Lan, he was more afraid of the deputy chief officer in front of him who came from the Dongfang family.
"Feifan is here. What happened?"
Dongfang Quanxing asked.
"Reporting to Chief Commander, half an hour ago, Jiang Lan..."
He Feifan quickly finished explaining the matter.
He had expected Dongfang Quanxing to be furious, but to his surprise, Dongfang Quanxing's face remained expressionless.
"Okay, you can go now!"
Dongfang Quanxing nodded, then added, "Notify Hu Guodong, Li Youcai, and Zhang Biao to come to me!"
"Yes, sir!"
He Feifan got up and left.
......
Only Dongfang Quanxing remained in the room.
He got up and went to the window, looking at the snow falling in the courtyard, his eyes gradually turning cold.
The family has kept a low profile for so long that many people have forgotten the prestige of the Dongfang family.
Tuoba Longwu was neither the first nor the last person to be pessimistic about his own side.
However, this is not necessarily a bad thing.
It would be better to catch them all at once once they all come out.
......
Not long after, Hu Guodong and the other two arrived together.
"Hu Guodong, Zhang Biao, and Li Youcai pay their respects to Chief Commander!"
"No need for formalities. I called you here to inform you of something."
Tuoba Longwu has already surrendered to the Jixia Academy.
From now on, there's no need to call on him for any operations.
Also, have someone keep a close eye on him, and notify me immediately if he makes any unusual moves!
After Dongfang Quanxing finished speaking, Hu Guodong and the other two looked surprised.
However, Hu Guodong reacted the fastest, stating first: "Chief, please rest assured, Tuoba Longwu is senile and has made the wrong decision."
The three of us firmly stand on the side of the Dongfang family.
Inside the ancestral hall, most people were also on our side.
We're ready to help whenever you need us.
"Chief, we will always be loyal to you!"
Zhang Biao and Li Youcai also expressed their opinions.
“I remember everything you did.”
Once this matter is over, both Yanbei and I will step down.
At that time, the positions of Chief, Deputy Chief, and Chief Attendant of the Zhenwu Division will all be vacant.
"I am willing to serve the Chief Commander, even at the cost of my life!"
Hu Guodong knelt down on the ground with a thud.
The head of the Zhenwu Division is undoubtedly him.
After all, among the three, he was the only one who had reached the tenth rank of Dharma Image perfection.
Although it is not as perfect as Tuoba Longwu's tenth-grade Dharma Image, it is still better than Zhang Biao and the other two.
"I am willing to serve the Chief Commander, even unto death!"
Zhang Biao and Li Youcai echoed this.
......
Outside the Tuoba Mansion, a rider stopped.
Tuoba Ye dismounted, and behind him was a carriage.
Once the carriage came to a stop, three servants came down carrying the bottom of a pot and a food box.
"Be gentle, don't spill it!"
As he spoke, Tuoba Ye headed towards the mansion.
Today was another day of living a life of debauchery.
I never thought Tiandu was that great before; I just thought the old man was annoying.
Now, of course, it's a different story; nowhere is better than the sky.
......
"Father, I'm back!"
Today we're having hot pot at Shuzhou Yanyangtian...
Tuoba Ye excitedly pushed open the door.
As soon as he entered the room, he sensed something was wrong.
This feeling, is it... murderous intent?
Tuoba Ye looked closely and saw Tuoba Longwu sitting upright and the... transfer order in his hand.
broken.
I forgot about that.
Tuoba Ye's smile froze, realizing that something was wrong.
He had been enjoying himself so much these past two days that he had forgotten about his transfer order.
"father......"
Before Tuoba Ye could finish speaking, Tuoba Longwu, who was sitting upright, disappeared.
The next second, he appeared in front of Tuoba Ye.
With a loud "bang!"
Tuoba Ye was blasted three meters away, and before he could land, Tuoba Longwu appeared behind him.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
......
A series of muffled thuds rang out as Tuoba Longwu punched Tuoba Ye like a sandbag.
Tuoba Ye wanted to scream, but he couldn't make a sound at all.
Fifteen minutes later, Tuoba Longwu stopped.
"If you weren't my son, I'd beat you to death."
That scoundrel! He not only resigned from his post, but he also recommended Li Fan.
Don't you know what the weather is like right now?
Tuoba Longwu scolded in exasperation, "Nangong Zhenxiang is reforming the officialdom, and the four major families and the Jixia Academy are about to go to war."
Various factions have taken sides.
Zhenwu Division is definitely the next battlefield.
I finally managed to refuse the invitations from the four major families and enjoy some peace and quiet, but you bastard quietly did something so big!
Even if you had just mentioned it to me the day you came back, it wouldn't have turned out like this!
"Father... I asked you about the situation in Tiandu the other day, and you said it was a good thing you didn't know..."
Tuoba Ye, his face bruised and swollen, said pitifully.
"You're fifty-eight years old, can't you have some of your own opinions?"
I said, "If I said dog poop is edible, would you like to take a bite?"
"Father, it's not... impossible!"
"You bastard, I..."
Upon hearing Tuoba Ye's outrageous words, Tuoba Longwu's suppressed anger surged up again.
"Father, don't do it yet!"
Let me explain... no, I mean, my excuse!
I have my own reasons for doing this.
Tuoba Ye quickly spoke up.
"you say!"
Tuoba Longwu rolled up his sleeves, ready to take action if even half a word displeased him.
Tuoba Ye's mind raced; he had no real insight whatsoever. He had only fled back because he was afraid of dying.
But in this situation, if he doesn't try to argue his way out, his father will definitely beat him half to death.
"Father, think about it carefully, what harm would it do for me to come back?"
Do the four major families dare to directly attack my father and me?
They dare not, and will not, take action.
Unless we work for the Jixia Academy.
Will the Jixia Academy take action against us?
No, since I've already given up my spot.
With me by your side, you have no weakness.
No one can use me to blackmail you, right?
After speaking, Tuoba Ye cautiously looked at Tuoba Longwu.
These words make no sense, but they certainly align with what my father wants.
He didn't want to offend either side, so I said I hadn't offended either side.
Adding that last sentence should be enough to fool them.
......
Could it be that... I misunderstood him?
Could he really be... a genius?
Tuoba Longwu carefully examined Tuoba Longwu.
After a long silence, he finally spoke, "Let's eat hot pot!"
