C226 Martial Arts Contest

The Emperor nodded and said, "Dede, make an edict. "The fifteen people of Jade Lake City have rendered meritorious service by rescuing the princess. Each of them will be rewarded with a thousand gold taels and a fourth grade official's uniform. Here it is."

Ye Tian stared with wide eyes. A thousand gold for each person, this reward was also normal. However, for the fifteen people from Jade Lake Sect, each of them wearing a fourth rank official uniform was a little too much.

Besides Denean, Lin Qiyu, Ouyang Ruochen, and Zhao Zhentian, the other 11 people had suddenly become fourth-grade officials of the imperial court from the commoners. Other than Denean, Lin Qiyu, Ouyang Ruochen, and Zhao Zhentian, the remaining 11 people had suddenly become fourth-grade officials from the imperial court from the commoners.

But after a short moment of surprise, Ye Tian quickly understood the emperor's intention.

This was a once in a lifetime opportunity. He had just done a great deed, and the emperor was bestowing it upon him. Even if he went against the procedures, the council wouldn't be able to speak out against him at this time.

This was the emperor taking the opportunity to nurture Ye Tian's forces. When Denean, Ouyang Ruochen, Nan Chen and Ruan Ji were appointed, the emperor was met with a strong backlash from both the military and the civil service.

In particular, the Ministry of Administration was the central institution for the assessment, evaluation, promotion, and appointment of officials throughout the country. Even the emperor had to rely on the Ministry of Administration to achieve the normal functioning of the entire administrative system.

In order to satisfy Ye Tian's request, the emperor had even promoted a few officials who were originally appointed by a letter from the government. The emperor had long heard of these officials' character and had intentionally put it aside. During the promotion of Ye Tian's request, the Ministry of Government and Government also raised a few seemingly reasonable objections.

Helpless, the Emperor could only choose to compromise.

However, at this moment, the Emperor had once again forcefully promoted the fifteen people of the Jade Lake so that he could show them to the government. The emperor wanted the government to know something. Even without the government, the emperor could still promote a fourth grade official, rebuild the civil service, and drive the administration system forward.

Sure enough, after the emperor had finished giving out the rewards, there were no sounds of opposition from the imperial court. Minister Qin Ruhua was still squinting his eyes, as if what the Emperor said just now was a matter that had nothing to do with him.

Seeing that there were no objections, the emperor felt like he was not satisfied yet. After losing his interest, the emperor opened his mouth and said, "If there is nothing to say, let's play. If there is nothing to do, we will leave the imperial court."

At this time, Minister Yang Qiann stepped forward, and spoke: "Reporting to Your Majesty, Oca Empire has sent a note, on the first of next month, Prince of Oca will visit Shangjing City. The People of Oca also proposed that a martial arts competition should be held to celebrate the exchange of visits between the two countries. "Finally."

Yang Qiann suddenly stopped talking.

The Emperor frowned and asked, "What was the last thing?" "Speak."

Yang Qiann's expression was slightly nervous as he continued: "Finally, People of Oca also said that if we feel that our strength is lacking, then the martial arts competition will not be held."

Ye Tian thought to himself. It really is coming.

With a "pa" sound, the emperor waved his hand and slammed his hand on the table. He shouted angrily, "How preposterous! Although there are many warriors and mages in People of Oca, do you really think that there is no one in my Tiangong Empire?"

At this time, Lin Chengzhou finally opened his eyes and said lightly, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid Prince Ivan's intention in coming to the capital is not to drink wine. Furthermore, from the intelligence received from the border post, People of Oca has dispatched a famous Magic Spirit Mage Group and a powerful lineup. In my opinion, it would be difficult for us to deal with them. "

The Emperor had a stern expression as he asked, "Cheng Zhou, tell me, how's our strength?"

Lin Chengzhou pondered for a moment, and slowly said: "Based on the strength of my entire Tiangong Empire, out of the people within the two academies, I would say that there are around a hundred or so in Magic Mentor, and among them, there are about ten of them, thirty of them are in the middle, and sixty or seventy of them are in the Primary Magic Mentor."

After a pause, Lin Chengzhou continued, "There are about ten thousand people in Demon Spiritualist, but Advanced Devil Spirit Master only has a few hundred. Divine Soldiers are similar to Magic Mentor, they only have around ten or so Advanced Divine Warrior. "

"According to the intelligence at the borders, Advanced Devil Spirit Master had already sent out ten thousand people. There are one thousand Primary Magic Mentor and around a hundred or so middle Advanced Magic Mentor, so even if we use tactics on wheels, our numbers would not even reach twenty to ten percent of their. We are simply unable to contend against him." Lin Chengzhou continued.

"Besides, the power of the empire that I mentioned just now is the sum of the power distributed throughout the country. We can't possibly gather all of the elites that are stationed in different places into the capital. Therefore, the amount of power that can be used in the capital can only be up to five Advanced Magic Mentor s and Advanced Divine Warrior s, or up to a hundred middle or low rank Magic Mentor s and God Warriors. " Lin Chengzhou said again.

Sighing, Lin Chengzhou continued: "I believe that People of Oca already knows our strength very well. This time, when Ethan comes to Shangjing City, he will bring along a lineup that will exceed our strength. Thus, according to this subject's perspective, I am afraid that the competition this time around will damage the prestige of our country. "

Hearing Lin Chengzhou's words, the emperor was filled with anger.

The martial arts competition was detrimental to the national might. Could it be that the martial arts competition would not be held, making it easier for the national might to survive? He was just trying to deceive others, deceiving himself, and that would make the People of Oca look down on him even more.

The Emperor looked at Qin Ruhua and said, "Ruhua, will you do it or not?"

Qin Ruhua had a worried look on his face as he said in a low voice: "Your majesty, in my opinion, People of Oca has indeed come in a strong manner. What Cheng Zhou said is not without reason. Your subject agrees with your suggestion."

The emperor harrumphed in his heart, thinking that the two of you are Military Affairs Minister and a government minister, but you are so lacking in confidence and cowardly. If you really agree with People of Oca's words, when your strength is insufficient, then you don't need to hold a martial arts competition, then where would you put your face, the face of the imperial government?

Even if he lost the match, he would lose with courage. Retreating before the fight was not the way of a hero.2

At this time, the emperor slowly turned his head and looked at Ye Tian. He said, "Minister Ye, what do you think?"

Ye Tian had a playful smile on his face as he snappily said: "Isn't it just a martial arts competition? "Let's compete then. We'll only know who's stronger when we compete."

Looking at Ye Tian's expression, the emperor couldn't help but laugh. This Minister Ye was always so hilarious.

With great difficulty, the emperor suppressed the feeling of wanting to laugh and said with a stern face, "Inform the People of Oca. The martial arts competition will be held as scheduled on the first of next month."

Hearing that the emperor had given the order, Lin Chengzhou and Qin Ruhua couldn't be too stubborn. They could only shut their mouths and remain silent.

The matter of the Martial Competition was decided just like that. After leaving the imperial court, other than Murong Qi, Nangong Feiyan, and Ouyang Ruochen returning to their respective families, and Lin Qiyu going to Royal Labor Union, Ye Tian, Mei Rou, and Bi Ling had also returned to Jade Lake West Garden.

Ye Tian, who was still sitting under the Pear Blossom Tree, thought happily about the reward just now.

After a trip to the imperial court, there were 11 additional fourth grade imperial officials. Although there were currently no specific positions, their ranks were already set. No matter where they went in the future, they would all be fourth grade. Such a starting point and the speed of his promotion were things that millions of people working hard to earn a place in the official land would not even dare to think about.

However, out of the eleven fourth rank officials, one of them was fake, and that was Man in the Iron Mask.

It was just an undead, not a real living person. Its existence was just a smokescreen for Ye Tian, preventing the old dog Lin Chengzhou and the old fox Qin Ruhua from truly investigating Ye Tian's true strength.

At the same time, Ye Tian was also clear that he was in a high position and was not used to seeing high ranking officials in the imperial government. But in reality, the appointment of a fourth rank official required a lot of effort on his part and also the establishment of the necessary connections, a certain background, long-term observation and training, as well as a little luck in the end to be able to reach this step.

As a result, for an ordinary person, it was almost impossible to become a fourth-grade official of the imperial court unless they had great fortune.

The emperor suddenly gave Ye Tian eleven fourth-grade officials. In the future, no matter where Mei Rou and the others went, no matter what position they held, they would all be a great support for Ye Tian in the imperial court.

This was the most typical way to prepare for a rainy day.

Ye Tian naturally understood the emperor's intentions very well, so he had always been cooperating with him.

Next, Ye Tian had to think about how to deal with this Losers' Competition.

Lin Chengzhou and Qin Ruhua were able to get into the position of a first rank official in the Imperial Court, so they were not idiots. In terms of strength, he was a lot stronger than the. From the looks of things, in this tournament, Tiangong Empire would definitely lose.

However, Ye Tian also knew that since the Emperor had decreed that he would hold this martial arts contest, he naturally didn't want to lose.

Therefore, Ye Tian's mission was to win against People of Oca in the tournament.

However, with so many Demon Spiritualist s and Magic Mentor s, even if all seventeen of them were to go on stage, it would not be enough for others to trample on them. The difference in numbers was too great; it was impossible to make up for the other advantages.

Ye Tian frowned and started to think deeply.

His Core Crystal Rifle could barely deal with Junior God Warriors and Primary Magic Mentor, but against this so-called fight, he could only push them back. It was not really an injury to Junior God Warriors and Primary Magic Mentor.

However, not only did People of Oca have Primary Magic Mentor, there were also Intermediate and Advanced Magic Mentor. Even Ye Tian couldn't be sure whether that Primary Godly Martial Master and Suo Ya would come to Shangjing City together with Prince Ivan.

Thinking about Suo Ya, Ye Tian couldn't help but have a headache.

Divine Martial Master's strength was unimaginable to the Spirit Warriors and Magic Mentor.

Ye Tian had fought face to face with Suo Ya before. It could be said without any hesitation that one Suo Ya was able to kill all the warriors and mages in the entire capital, while the entire Shangjing City was lacking any strength to fight back.
