C680 Silent Schemer
As ministers of Tiangong Empire, they already had the four nations, Oca, Barrow, Inca, and Eli, to become subordinate states of Tiangong Empire. The ministers also had faces full of light, and felt a sense of pride from the bottom of their hearts.
At this time, Qin Ruhua, who had not spoken all this time, took a step forward and spoke: "Reporting to Your Majesty, Eli has already been decided, the situation of Oca, Barrow and Inca has gradually stabilized, and the East Continent has nominally been unified. Next, it's time to consider the marriage between the two Her Royal Highness."
Hearing Qin Ruhua's words, Lin Chengzhou, who was standing to the side, also stepped forward and said: "I second Lord Qin's proposal."
Seeing that the two most influential people had expressed their opinions, the other officials also expressed their support for them.
The Emperor thought for a moment and agreed with Qin Ruhua and Lin Chengzhou's suggestion. Chu Yue was already twenty years old and Chu Yu was already eighteen. If it was any later, it would be hard for a girl to not have an impression of being unmarried at such a young age. And now, Ye Tian had achieved fame and glory, no matter in terms of his career or fame, he had reached his peak state.
It was not an exaggeration to say that the obstacles and difficulties that Wen Tianbi had faced when he became Prince Consort in the Shangjing City had now been completely swept away. What replaced it was the unanimous support of the top-down ministers and generals.
The wedding ceremony had already been completed.
However, at this moment, the emperor was hesitating for no reason.
Honestly speaking, the emperor didn't want Ye Tian to return to the Shangjing City at this time. As for the reason and reason, even the Emperor himself could not explain it clearly. It was as if the moment Ye Tian returned to the Shangjing City, he would immediately pose a great challenge to the authority the Emperor possessed.
Letting out a long sigh, the emperor couldn't help but think in his heart: It was Qin Ruhua and Lin Chengzhou before, now it's Ye Tian again. If he really wanted to gain control of the situation, then he would have to be extremely powerful himself.
However, the emperor was already at an age where he knew his destiny. It was very difficult for him to have another breakthrough in martial arts and magic.
Thinking of this, the Emperor suddenly had a thought. He thought to himself once again, [I wonder if the iron box left behind by the Ancestor Emperor will have any other uses. If I don't try it out personally, I will never know.]
After slightly retracting his thoughts, the emperor looked at the officials before him and spoke somewhat impatiently, "That's good as well. We'll follow the discussions of the various officials and calculate a date from Ministry of Rites Administration for Ye Tian to return and complete the marriage."
Just as the emperor was about to leave, Qin Ruhua suddenly spoke again, "Reporting to your majesty, this subject has a presumptuous request."
Instinctively frowning, the emperor looked at Qin Ruhua and said, "Speak."
"After the marriage ceremony between the two of you, Her Royal Highness and Manager Ye, and following the imperial edict given by the emperor, it should be on the next day. Manager Ye should be greeting Qin Yan'er on the same day."
At this time, Lin Chengzhou also took a step forward and said, "There's also Lin Qiyu. We also have to go through the door ceremony together."
Hearing Qin Ruhua and Lin Chengzhou's performance, the emperor was slightly stunned, but he quickly recalled that Ye Tian had indeed given such an imperial edict. After he had married Chu Yue and Master Chu, he immediately paid his respects to Qin Yan'er and Lin Qiyu.
Furthermore, Ye Tian had held an engagement ceremony with Qin Yan'er and Lin Qiyu at the same time.
Since it was an imperial edict that had already been passed down, of course the emperor couldn't go back on his word. After pondering for a moment, the emperor waved his hand and said, "The day of the Ministry of Rites Administration verification is one.
With that, the emperor got down from the throne and walked towards the side.
Qin Ruhua and Lin Chengzhou raised their heads at the same time and looked at the emperor's back. Both of them were thinking about one thing in their hearts, and that was, the moment the emperor turned over, he would become more suspicious and more merciless than the two of them from before.
For a moment, worry showed on their faces.
With Ye Tian's current position and power, no matter which minister he was facing, he would feel relaxed and happy. It was more than enough. However, if they were to stand against the Emperor, not to mention the moral issue, Ye Tian might not even be able to pass the trial for the two princesses, Chu Yue and Chu Yu.
Ye Tian is the standard Bodhisattva heart. If someone doesn't offend me, I won't offend anyone. If someone offends me, I will have to endure for a while. If Ye Tian really couldn't stand it any longer, he would be able to launch a fatal counterattack. However, the moment Ye Tian started to counterattack, he would hit him again, causing his opponent to be unable to turn around.
Up until now, Qin Ruhua and Lin Chengzhou were a bit more assured with Ye Tian. A person like this, in cooperation with him, as long as you don't try to frame him, he will treat you sincerely. The two of them, on the other hand, were worried about the Emperor. The Emperor Chu Hong appeared more and more like a schemer who had been silent for a long time.
Most importantly, along with the increase in the strength of Chu Yue, Chu Yu, and Zhao Zhentian, the Emperor no longer held Qin Ruhua and Lin Chengzhou in high regard.
The two of them even suspected that one day, the emperor would really dislike them and directly cripple Qin Ruhua and Lin Chengzhou in the morning assembly.
Perhaps this was the day the Emperor had been looking forward to day and night for decades.
Thinking of this, both of them began to sweat profusely. At the same time, both of them turned around and looked at each other.
Just at this moment, the two people with the most authority in Tiangong Empire, the Government Minister and the Military Affairs Minister, reached a tacit understanding. From now on, the two of them might have to rely on Ye Tian to deal with the emperor.
Tianyuan 215, October 27th. The grand ceremony of the new emperor ascending the throne was held in Ejing City on time. After paying his respects to the ancestors, Muller returned to the palace and sat on the Dragon Throne in the middle of the palace.
That afternoon, Muller made the first public announcement to all of Eli Empire's citizens since they ascended the throne.
The content of the announcement was very simple, it was to announce that from now on, Eli Empire would become a subordinate state to Tiangong Empire. However, the treatment of a subordinate state was extremely good, and that was that there was no need to pay taxes or anything else.
Even though the ordinary citizens of the Eli Empire had long since been mentally prepared for this announcement, the moment they heard the announcement of the new emperor, many people's hearts still felt uncomfortable for a while.
In truth, the two kingdoms that were originally on par with each other were now one head shorter than the other. From then on, if any emperor of the Eli Empire wanted to successfully ascend the throne, they had to first obtain the approval of the Tiangong Empire.
But after a short period of loss, the citizens still did not have much of a reaction. Only a very small number of people had instigated a protest in some of the small squares in the Ejing City.
The effect of these incitement was very limited. The real reason was not that no one was willing to participate, but more people knew that Ye Tian's ten great divisions were all currently stationed at Athens City.
Athens City was only around two hundred kilometers away from Ejing City. With the speed of Ye Tian's army, it would not even take two hours for them to advance into Ejing City.
Most importantly, even though the few great generals had already sent their officers to the Athens City, Ye Tian still remained in the palace. There were also tens of thousands of cannon and Rocket Car stationed outside the city.
All the protests and riots will bear a huge risk. It would be alright if Ye Tian was merciful. If he was a bit more ruthless, he would have to say whether the people who protested and rebelled could find corpses.
Considering that the nation had already settled down, and the West Continent Coalition Forces had finally been driven away, even though there was a strong sense of loss in their hearts, more and more people still gradually accepted the fact that the Eli Empire had become a subordinate nation.
Ejing City, and even the entire Eli Empire, were gradually stabilizing.
Almost every day after the morning assembly, Muller would come to the Imperial Palace's Backyard Yi He Xuan to report to Ye Tian about the matters discussed in the morning assembly as well as the reports from various places.
Muller was also a new emperor. In Ye Tian's words, he was called inexperienced in work.
After Ye Tian's tutelage for a few days, Muller became a bit calm and adept when dealing with those officials in the imperial court.
In between his words, facing the many opinions of the ministers, Muller had already hit the nail on the head and hit the vital points. He had strongly countered the ministers' reprimands.
Farmland water conservancy, tax, construction workshop, street transportation, under the guidance of Ye Tian, Muller handled them one by one, one by one, and one by one, he urged them to finish.
Very quickly, in less than half a month's time, the political affairs of Ejing City and the other provinces and counties of the empire had been completely refreshed.
Regarding Muller's result, the citizens of Eli Empire naturally saw it in their eyes and remembered it in their hearts. At the same time, many people knew that Ye Tian, who was in the Palace's Backyard, had also contributed a lot to Muller's leadership. Because of this reason, even more people silently accepted the fact that Eli Empire had become a subsidiary nation of Tiangong Empire.
As long as the commoners were able to obtain benefits, they would be able to live happily in peace and prosperity. As long as there were no subordinate countries, it was actually secondary.
Just as Eli Empire was on the right track, Ye Tian also received the imperial edict from Shangjing City.
The meaning of the imperial edict was clear. Return to the Shangjing City immediately and hold the grand wedding ceremony with Chu Yue and Chu Yu. After officially becoming the Prince Consort, he would have to continue to go through the doors with Lin Qiyu and Qin Yan'er the next day.
Looking at the standard line on the imperial edict, Ye Tian couldn't help but feel a little absent-minded.
Ye Tian hadn't seen Chu Yue, Chu Yu, and the Emperor for a long time. But now that the Eli Empire had stabilized, the Coalition Forces of Four Kingdoms of the West Continent was still under the tiger's gaze five hundred kilometers to the west of the Athens City. Honestly speaking, Ye Tian was not very confident about the results obtained so far.
Ye Tian was very clear that a woman like Sandy Ayana would never forever cower within the Constantine Castle. Someone like her, after losing one battle, would never compromise or become discouraged, but she would definitely nurture herself and test out her courage. Ye Tian was completely convinced of this.
Therefore, at this moment, it was not appropriate for Ye Tian to leave the Eli Empire.
However, the imperial edict was the imperial edict. Ye Tian had no reason to go against it. Furthermore, he did miss Chu Yue, Chu Yu, Qin Yan'er and Lin Qiyu.
Thinking about this, Ye Tian kept the imperial edict, stood up, and looked at the wutong tree outside the window. Then, he said: "Looks like I'll have to make a trip to the Athens City first."
That afternoon, Ye Tian took Yu Loong, Mu Qingying, and Cheng Yunwei to the communications van and headed west.
Two hours later, Ye Tian saw the walls of Athens City from outside the window.0
