251: C251 The Right to Recruit Soldiers

C251 The Right to Recruit Soldiers

The four princes were kneeling on the ground, trembling with fear. Even the victim, Hsiang Yunjie, didn't dare to relax.

Ye Tian and Hsiang Yunkong had reported this matter to Chu King in detail. After Chu King found out about it, they called all the princes to the hall.

At this moment, Chu King was very angry. Although he was sitting on the throne with his eyes closed, the majesty of an emperor was clearly exuded from his body.

"Hsiang Yunkong, you have ruled the western border for thousands of miles. Didn't you say that you are the War God? The legendary War God of Chu Country almost killed his younger brother?"

Chu King suddenly pointed at Hsiang Yunkong, causing the other princes to be stunned.

Before Hsiang Yunkong could understand what was going on, a report flew over and hit Hsiang Yunkong's head.

He was the commander in the frontier and West Suppressing King's status in the outside world, but now that he had been punished by his father, he didn't dare to complain in his heart.

"If Chief Ye wasn't there to kill a powerful enemy with you, would you have been killed by the enemy alone?"

Chu King's words were harsh, but he was secretly flattering Ye Tian, causing Ye Tian to feel even more awkward.

Now that he was standing at the top of the storm, Chu King had put Ye Tian in an even worse situation.

Of course, Ye Tian knew that Chu King did this on purpose. No one could tell what kind of Monarch's Heart Technique was used, but Chu King had his own purpose for doing everything.

"Crown Prince, such a big thing has happened in the Imperial City, but you don't even know about it? Did these people cut off my head that day, and you only found out about it later?"

Chu King's indifferent voice made Crown Prince Hsing Yunyang stick to the ground in panic, not daring to move his hair.

Although the person behind this incident was him, Hsiang Yunyang, he wouldn't tell anyone about it.

"Father's lesson is that from tonight onwards, this son will lead his men to guard the important location of the Imperial City, guarding the invasion of foreign enemies. Father, feel free to beat and scold this son!"

Hsiang Yunyang showed a very guilty expression. If one did not know the details, they would even think that this Hsiang Yunyang was a good big brother and a good son.

"Haha, look at the Imperial City. Is this Imperial City really safe?"

Chu King suddenly asked in a mocking tone, which immediately made Hsiang Yunyang's eyes freeze, because this sentence was clearly not an unintentional sentence!

Hsiang Yunyang was rendered speechless. At this time, he could not explain. It was very awkward if he did not explain.

Chu King immediately waved his hand. He said again, "As the master of the Eastern Palace, it would be unpleasant for the people of Chu Country to see you in public. With the Imperial Guard in the Imperial City, I'm sure those bandits won't dare to show themselves in front of me!"

This sentence gave Hsiang Yunyang a lot of face, and it also showed that he was very confident in himself.

However, Ye Tian, who was standing at the side, could tell that Chu King had heard about this matter a long time ago, but he had never shown it.

Chu King should know that these things had a certain relationship with Hsiang Yunyang, but without sufficient evidence, he wouldn't be able to do anything to his son, or even the Crown Prince.

"Yunjie, how do you feel now? If you can't persist in the competition in a few days, let Chief Ye send you back to Tiannan Province. You can also rest and rest..."

Chu King looked at the melancholic Hsiang Yunjie and asked with concern.

The back of his palm was full of flesh. Although the princes were of different levels, they were all his sons. There was a need to care about them.

Although he knew that Hsiang Yunjie wanted to participate in the competition and wanted Ye Tian, who was beside him, to obtain the title of Champion Marquis, he had to ensure absolute safety.

"Father, it's just that the sequela hasn't been completely removed yet, but it doesn't affect me from doing other things. Since I'm back, I think it's better to prepare for the competition!"

Hsiang Yunjie immediately rejected Chu King's idea. One should know how valuable Champion Marquis was. He couldn't let Ye Tian lose such a good opportunity because of his current situation.

Hsiang Yunjie's tenacity made Chu King nod his head. Then, he looked at Hsiang Yunkong, who had a very small presence beside him, and sighed in his heart.

This youngest son had nothing to do all day long. He relied on his status as a prince and his reputation as a noble family in the Imperial City, and he was very arrogant.0

Although he had a lot of rules now, he was still the same as Hsiang Yunli, who had been demoted to a concubine. Furthermore, he secretly stood on the side of the crown prince, and he would become muddle-headed in the future.

However, as the ruler of a country, Chu King could not say anything. He could only let his sons choose their own path in the future.

"Alright, in the future, all of you should pay more attention to this. From today onwards, Hsiang Yunjie will give you the right to be a private soldier of thirty people. You can recruit soldiers, but the royal family will not care about the use of private soldiers!"

Chu King's order stunned Hsiang Yunjie. Currently, there were only ten people in the Golden Snake Guard, and the expenditure was quite serious. As for recruiting thirty private soldiers, the expenditure would explode.

Hsiang Yunjie wanted to reject this matter and prepare to focus on cultivating the Golden Snake Guard. Furthermore, when there was a real danger, Ye Tian would be able to solve all the problems.

However, seeing Ye Tian's hint, Hsiang Yunjie did not know what it meant. He could only follow Ye Tian's idea.

After the matter was settled, Chu King left ahead of time. Crown Prince Hsing Yunyang also dismissed everyone, and the fury in his heart burned even more fiercely.

He originally planned to let Hsiang Yunjie suffer a small loss, but he did not expect that they would benefit from this misfortune. Hsiang Yunjie even had the right to recruit private soldiers.

Although there were not many private soldiers in a thirty-man team, and they could not even affect anything, the fact that Chu King could give this privilege to Hsiang Yunjie proved that the balance of power was once again tilted.

Hsiang Yunyang thought for a long time and could only follow the former's footsteps and leave the main hall.

"Mr. Ye, why did you let me accept the recruitment of these thirty private soldiers? You have to know that I have consumed a lot of energy during this period of time..."

In the Imperial City, Hsiang Yunjie and Ye Tian walked side by side. He also asked the question he had in front of Chu King. This kind of thing really puzzled him.

However, Hsiang Yunjie was afraid that there would be ears on the wall. He did not dare to say the word 'Golden Snake Guard', but even if he said it, Ye Tian could still understand Hsiang Yunjie's current difficulties.

"I say, you weren't poisoned until you became stupid, right? Chu King previously said that he can't join the royal family and receive the royal family's subsidy, but you, the Prefect of Tiannan Province, don't tell me that you are just here to eat?"

Ye Tian looked at Hsiang Yunjie and did not know whether to laugh or cry when he asked this question.

Although Chu King had set the rules, he did not say it out loud. This gave Hsiang Yunjie some room to act independently.

The accounts in Tiannan Province exceeded the requirements of the Imperial Court every year. The remaining funds were more than enough to raise a team of three hundred people.

Chu King knew that Hsiang Yunjie was meticulous and would not take advantage of such a situation. That was why he said it in front of everyone, but if Chu King knew that Hsiang Yunjie was still arguing with Ye Tian, he might even beat his third son up in anger.

"There's another key point. The Golden Snake Guard is still alive in the crevice. If others knew about it, even you wouldn't be able to live a good life. If you take them into your private army, the Golden Snake Guard will become your regular guard. You won't be in the least bit at fault!"
