CHAPTER FORTY-FIVE

The sun was barely up, but Leo was fully awake, standing in front of the tall building.

His eyes soon began to move from one corner to the other, as if he was in search of something.

He took a deep breath, and taking a few steps forward, he stopped in front of the wooden door.

    But in many cases, management of local affairs can only use ‘pleasing everyone.’This is why Ye Ze’an, even knowing the Zhi Ge Court would be influenced by local powers, was unwilling to switch out the Martial Artists of Zhi Ge Court.Clearly, this Grand Secretary is not someone who would sit high above in the Cabinet and assume he can simply issue an edict.He truly understands the actual circumstances of different places and puts forward his thoughts after carefully considering possible variables and outcomes.In the Great Hall, Li Fei witnessed for the first time how this legendary Grand Secretary ‘governed’ the realm.He used to subconsciously think that these high-ranking, relatively incorrupt civil servants inevitably had a bit of scholarly air and idealism about them.But after hearing Ye Ze’an’s speech, Li Fei realized that this Grand Secretary was not speaking with the kind of rhetorical flourish he had imagined.In terms of eloquence, the other person even fell short compare

    "Your Majesty! This matter must not be!"In the Great Hall, after Ye Ze'an had just proposed his suggestion, an elder minister immediately stood up.This person was a cabinet minister from the Internal Affairs Pavilion.Previously, there had always been a saying with sinister implications: When Ye Ze'an spoke in the Cabinet, it carried more weight than the Emperor!Although the truth might not be as such, it was enough to show Ye Ze'an's influence over the Cabinet.Among the Six Ministries, his control over the Internal Affairs Pavilion was the strongest.Yet now, the first to jump out and oppose him was someone from the Internal Affairs Pavilion.This indicated how unpopular his proposal was!"Your Majesty, during the previous dynasty, Emperor Xuan Jing centralized power in the Central Government, established the Qingtian Prefecture, and dispatched Qinyi Guards to oversee the realm, capturing ministers and citizens. This ultimately brought disaster nationwide, causing turmoil in the

    he Emperor’s expression remained unchanged as he looked at Ye Ze’an:“What does the Grand Secretary believe should be done about this matter?”Ye Ze’an clearly had a prepared script, and he spoke each word carefully:“First, we must enhance the mobility of local officials, especially those within the inspection system, allowing them to be transferred between provinces every two years!As for the specifics of the transfers, the new inspection plan after the transfers, and other details, I have prepared a ‘Proposal for the Cross-Provincial Transfer of Inspection System Officials.'”As he spoke, he took a thick memorial out of his wide sleeve.With just a glance from the Emperor, Feng Cheng walked down the Red Steps, came in front of Ye Ze’an, took the memorial from him, then returned and handed it to the Emperor.The ministers below were already in a commotion.If this policy were to be implemented, it would have a significant impact on every region!And many of the ministers present ha

    The Emperor said indifferently.As soon as the words fell, Su Xuesong burst into tears!He was willing to risk his career and position to make the Entry World Conference pay a price.Now, with this result, he at least managed to force a one-for-one exchange with Chi Chengyu!"This minister accepts the decree."Ni Xuan bowed his head in salute.The ministers in the front row all looked at Su Xuesong with complex expressions.To forcefully exchange with Chi Chengyu through such means was truly ruthless!And Su Xuesong did this largely to avenge his son.This made people somewhat admire him.Being ruthless is not necessarily a true hero.How is pitying one's son not manly?Thus, the first of the 'Three Major Cases' finally had a result.As for the final outcome, it will have to wait for the investigation by the Monitoring Pavilion in a month's time.After handling the first major case, the Emperor actively asked Lou Hongtao:"How is the case about the Cheng Prince Mansion and the New Hea

    Ji Xiuyong slowly straightened up, his expression solemn.“Mr. Ji, you have worked hard for the Prince Mansion over the years, is there anything else you would like to request?”Qin Ziyu said lightly.Ji Xiuyong shook his head: “If it weren’t for Your Highness’s rescue, I would have died long ago. I know Your Highness keeps his promises, and since you have promised to take care of my family, I have nothing else to ask for.”Although he hasn’t made it to the Fengyun Leaderboard, he is still a top-tier expert in the Tao Foundation Realm, only stuck at the bottleneck for years.Seven years ago, he forcefully attempted a breakthrough but failed, nearly shattering his Tao Foundation and dying.It was Qin Ziyu who expended a great amount of resources to save him, and spent a fortune on healing his injuries, allowing him to maintain most of his combat power.“Alright, from now on, your son’s expenses at the university will be covered by the Prince Mansion. If he can break through to the Tao

    On the spacious street, seven or eight luxury cars were parked.On the other side of the street, a magnificent mansion stood.At the center, two vermilion doors were open, with a pair of over two-meter-tall white jade lions on each side.A plaque above the door read ‘Cheng Prince Mansion’.Very few mansions can occupy an entire street in the costly Lanling City, and the Cheng Prince Mansion was one of them.Prince Cheng was the Emperor’s younger brother. After the Emperor ascended the throne, he allocated an entire province to Prince Cheng as his feudal manor!Though not officially bequeathed, even a portion of the tax revenue from a province was astronomical. Even if Prince Cheng did nothing, he could still amass great wealth each year just from collecting this tax.This shows the deep affection the Emperor had for his blood brother.An old man and a young man in blue official attire walked into the street, heading straight for the main gate of the Cheng Prince Mansion.“Honored sirs
