C696 Social Change
Hearing Chu Yue's words, the other ministers complied. At this moment, Chu Yue's Emperor's might had already been discovered. Regardless of status or strength, it was impossible for anyone to have any ill intentions.
And Ye Tian, as the prince consort, is by the side to assist, even more so to show his power. Originally, there had been many major events in the history of the royal family, but this time, everything was calm and peaceful, completely unscathed.
To Ye Tian, he was very clear about Chu Yue's decision. Before this, Ye Tian had always relied on the Divine Weapon Camp set up by the Imperial Household Department to expand his territory and travel throughout the lands. It could be said that Ye Tian was already familiar with the use of weapons, and his strength was extremely strong.
However, Ye Tian had never participated in the affairs of the empire, nor had he promoted any officials of the imperial court. Although Qin Ruhua and Lin Chengzhou later fell to Ye Tian, Ye Tian himself did not have any real contact with any court officials in Beijing.
This was Ye Tian's weakness in the capital.
Even more importantly, Oca, Barrow, Inca, and Eli had all been settled by now. Shangjing City, as the place where the four subordinate nations had contributed the most to the competition, had already become the central city of the entire East Continent, as well as the city with the highest status.
Thus, any change or upheaval in the political situation of the Shangjing City was enough to affect the political situation of the four subordinate states.
The status and influence of Shangjing City had never been as important as it was today.
After Ye Tian became the Minister of Government, the Minister and Assistant Minister of the eight great departments would inevitably circle around Ye Tian. In this way, Ye Tian could not only firmly control the political affairs of the empire in his hands, but also gradually affect the promotion of officials, the reform of household registration, the adjustment of taxes and the development and change of water conservancy, transportation, construction of the city, and the construction of shops and mines.
Due to Ye Tian's performance in Royal Labor Union, Chu Yue had ample reason to believe that after Ye Tian became the Minister of Government, the entire social structure of East Continent would undergo an extremely profound change.
To Ye Tian, Eldest Imperial Princess was his most trusted confidant.
Previously, Ye Tian was only in control of the Imperial Household Department, but the political affairs of the Empire were not within Ye Tian's jurisdiction, so he could not directly intervene. Even if they wanted to interfere, the people in charge of various administrative departments might not listen to Ye Tian.
Therefore, Ye Tian had always been focusing on weapon design and manufacturing. But the military was only one aspect of all the affairs of the empire, and it was necessary to take part in politics if society was to change.
In Ye Tian's opinion, the social form of this continent should not be the current one. Such as skyscrapers, central business district, highways between cities, magical power grids, even high-speed trains and airports, they should all appear.
And all of these required the economic, social, transportation, and city construction departments to cooperate.
Therefore, when Chu Yue finished reading out her decision, Ye Tian's heart was not only moved and regretful about the deaths of Qin Ruhua and Lin Chengzhou, but more so, it was filled with the lofty sentiments of wanting to go all out and make a big show.
To unify the entire continent and have the West Continent merge into the territory of the Tiangong Empire was not just a matter of war. The economy, society, including the financial system that Mr Liu wants to implement in the future, is also a weapon.
If he could take down West Continent without any bloodshed, Ye Tian would naturally be more willing.
Think about it, ten years later, the entire East Continent is developed countries, high speed rail, civil aviation, cars, motorcycles are rampant, and there are tall buildings everywhere in the city and the standard of living of the people far surpasses the level of the West Continent.
On the other hand, West Continent still had the appearance of a feudal society. How could the people of West Continent not yearn for East Continent?
At that time, everything would come to fruition naturally. The economy and finances of West Continent would heavily depend on East Continent, and they would naturally become subordinate to it.
In Ye Tian's imagination, West Continent would become an economic colony of East Continent.
Thinking of this, an evil smile appeared in Ye Tian's heart.
As the meeting drew to a close, Chu Yue asked once more, "Do the officials have anything else to say? If not, then leave."
At this time, Minister Yang Qiann, who had been holding back his words, finally spoke, "Your Highness, there is something that still needs Your Highness to make a decision."
Chu Yue said, "Lord Yang, what's the matter?"
"Today's wedding was forcefully interrupted by the assassin, and all procedures were not carried out. Had this marriage come to an end? Is the ceremony over? " Yang Qiann said as he looked up at Chu Yue.
Honestly speaking, what Yang Qiann asked was definitely a sensitive question, but it was also a very important question.
Was Chu Yue, Chu Yu, and Ye Tian married or not?
If there weren't any, then Ministry of Rites Administration would have to find another day to continue this ceremony. If this was said to be over, then the next problem that the Ministry of Rites Administration would be considering was when Lin Qiyu and Qin Yan'er would pay their respects to him.
However, this required Chu Yue, the king of the kingdom, to nod her head.
Knowing that Yang Qiann was in a difficult situation, Chu Yue was about to say something when she heard Ye Tian beside her say, "Since the ceremony has already begun, although it was interrupted, it should be done."
At this point, Ye Tian turned his head and looked at Chu Yue. He winked and said, "Right, Your Highness."
Chu Yue suddenly felt like laughing. She understood that Ye Tian really did not want to go through another ceremony like this one. It was complicated and tiresome, but in reality, Chu Yue did not want to do it either.
Nodding her head, Chu Yue said, "Master Yang, the wedding ceremony is considered to have been completed. Next, we need Lord Yang to follow the imperial etiquette and think carefully about how to proceed with the passing of Qi Yu and Yan'er's gifts. After all, the moment Lord Qin and Lord Lin died, they had to go through with the national mourning.
Hearing Chu Yue's words, Yang Qiann bowed deeply and said, "Since Her Royal Highness has already said so, this humble subject will carry out your orders."
After confirming this matter, the assembly dispersed.
After everyone had left the Purple Light Pavilion, Chu Yue turned her head and looked at Ye Tian, saying, "I should stay in the palace? or should follow you back to the Jade Lake West Garden. "
What Chu Yue asked was yet another sensitive and crucial question.
According to the rules of etiquette, Chu Yue was already married. She was truly a fiancée, and should have followed Ye Tian back to the Jade Lake West Garden.
But she was now, in reality, the heir to the throne, the absolute empress. If they were to leave the palace, how could they manage the political affairs?
Ye Tian shrugged and said: "Jade Lake West Garden temporarily doesn't have a mistress, there's no problem. But to have no Emperor in the Imperial Palace is absolutely impossible. "
Chu Yue smiled sweetly, "My new Minister, you should return quickly and take care of your political affairs. Those people in the council are not so easy to deal with. "
Ye Tian chuckled and said: "Then I'll go back first."
Honestly speaking, Ye Tian had been through an entire day of ceremony in the palace, and he was already exhausted, so he long wanted to return to the Jade Lake West Garden to rest.
Hearing Chu Yue's words, Ye Tian naturally got up.
Just as she was about to leave, Chu Yue suddenly said, "Wait a moment."
After she finished speaking, Chu Yue turned around and looked at Chu Yu who was standing at the side. "Yu, return to Jade Lake West Garden with Ye Tian."
Ye Tian stared with his eyes wide open. He naturally understood what Chu Yue meant. She wanted Chu Yu to be a spy. So that they could monitor what Ye Tian did at Jade Lake West Garden.
Originally, Ye Tian had planned to find an opportunity to meet Nangong Feiyan once the wedding was over. Ouyang Ruochen was already satisfied, but Nangong Feiyan was still as thin as ever.
Ye Tian had been thinking about when he could find a chance to properly compensate this introverted girl.
If Chu Yu had reached the Jade Lake West Garden, then the matter of Ye Tian going out with Nangong Feiyan would be forgotten. After all, Chu Yu was a level 13 poison master. If she wasn't happy, she might just poison Nangong Feiyan to death.
However, Ye Tian couldn't openly reject Chu Yue's words. After all, she was now the empress in name.
Ye Tian said with an embarrassed smile: "Chu Yu will enter the Jade Lake West Garden Sect first, it's fine, it's fine."
When Ye Tian brought Chu Yu back to the Jade Lake West Garden, he did not know how the hidden sentry in the capital had obtained the news. In less than a quarter of an hour, Chen Zhongxiu, Duan Muleeson, Yang Qiann, Ji Yanwenn, Yao Zhong Tang, Duan Mulee, and Meng Xuanyin had all arrived at the Jade Lake West Garden.
Looking at the battle formation of eight people in front of him, Ye Tian felt the importance of power for the first time.
These eight people were not ordinary people, they were the leaders of the entire Tiangong Empire, or even the entire East Continent.
Each of them was in charge of a single task, and each task involved all aspects and corners of the empire's and even the government affairs of the East Continent.
These eight people could be said to represent the highest level of decision-making in the administration of East Continent. If Ye Tian could control these eight people, then he would undoubtedly be able to control the politics of Tiangong Empire, and even the entire political affairs of East Continent.
At this time, Ye Tian sat under the Pear Blossom Tree in the front courtyard of Jingann Courtyard and looked at the eight people in front of him.
Chen Zhongxiu, the official minister, was the first to speak out with a smile, "My unfilial son, Chen Haotai, I apologize for offending Your Excellency Ye."2
Hearing Chen Zhongxiu's words, Ye Tian was stunned for a moment. Then, he recalled that when he had just transmigrated into this world and bought Mei Rou back, he once went shopping with Mei Rou and was bullied along the way by Chen Zhongxiu's only son, Chen Haotai. If it wasn't for Mei Rou revealing her strength, Ye Tian would have definitely suffered a loss that time.
Thinking about this, Ye Tian laughed and said, "Chen Haotai should be taught a good lesson. A beautiful lady, a noble woman, fair desires, open pursuit, it's not good to play some dirty tricks, right? Master Chen? "
Chen Zhongxiu's face turned red as he nodded his head repeatedly, "Yes, yes, yes. When this old man returns, I will definitely teach that stinking brat a good lesson." Other women are allowed to touch, but Your Excellency Ye's woman is not allowed to. "
Ye Tian was stunned for a moment when he heard Chen Zhongxiu's words. He didn't feel good about it at all.
It was unknown if this Old Man Chen really knew or was just playing dumb. That stinking brat, Chen Haotai, is not someone that can be touched by other women. You can't touch Ye Tian's woman, but you can't touch anyone's woman.
However, based on Chen Zhongxiu's argument, since this was the first time they were communicating, Ye Tian couldn't really refuse to give him face, so he had no choice but to pass it by.
At this moment, Minister Hu Fuzhen said, "Your Excellency Ye, this old man must also ensure that no one in the family will ever lay a hand on Your Excellency Ye's woman again."
Ye Tian was stunned again when he heard Hu Fucai's words.
