"Understood, haha!"
He quickly ran down, and soon, the news spread throughout the entire Zhen Wu Dynasty. One could imagine how sensational it would be. In less than an hour, the number of Saint Grade God Ancestors had increased by nearly a hundred, and the number of Spirit Grade God Ancestors had increased by more than three hundred.
At that moment, Dongfang Yuqing was in the Imperial Court, and he was complaining about Lin Feng's absence. However, he didn't expect that Lin Feng would play such a drastic trick and take away all the important positions under his command.
At noon, Dongfang Yuqing left the Imperial Court. As soon as he walked out of the Imperial Court, a subordinate reported to him about Lin Feng's tricks. Dongfang Yuqing's expression suddenly changed, and he stomped on the ground outside the Imperial Court in anger.
At the same time, Nian Lingjiao received a letter from Lin Feng. There were only two points on it. First, he wanted Founding Emperor to personally attend the ceremony to establish the Law Army and give him the Medal of Honor. Second, he wanted to give all the vacant positions to the Law Army so that there wouldn't be any empty positions in the Imperial Court.
"Haha, this Lin Feng." Nian Lingjiao covered her mouth and giggled. Her melodious laughter attracted Founding Emperor's curiosity.
"Lingjiao, what's wrong? What's so happy about? Show it to me! " Founding Emperor was curious about what Nian Lingjiao was looking at, so he came over and showed his benevolence as an old father.
Nian Lingjiao didn't hesitate and handed Lin Feng's letter to Founding Emperor. After a day, Founding Emperor had already seen through Pinguan's situation. His nephew didn't live up to expectations, so he should lock him up for a while. Otherwise, the Zhen Wu Dynasty might be dissatisfied with the ruler because of Prince Dun's actions, which would cause unnecessary chaos.
Founding Emperor looked at Lin Feng's letter carefully, and his smile became wider and wider. In the end, he couldn't help but shake his head and smile. "This Lin Feng really doesn't play by the rules. If he really did that, Dongfang would be so angry that he would vomit blood."
"Father, I think that we can agree to this. Cousin is only doing this for the combat army, but he's actually made so many officials resign from their positions and join the combat army. There are so many vacant positions that are more important, but they are not filled. This is not good for the True Martial Dynasty."
"Lin Feng made it very clear that since there were vacancies, they had to fill them up. The Law Enforcement Army would take over the positions that the troops didn't need. Besides, the Law Enforcement Army was responsible for fighting, so they didn't need any real power. However, the Law Enforcement Army was responsible for the rules and regulations of the Imperial Court, so they needed real power to control them."
"Therefore, father, you should agree to Lin Feng's request." Nian Lingjiao smiled faintly as she looked at the Great Ancestor, waiting for his answer.
The Great Ancestor was staring at his daughter in a strange way. He didn't understand. His daughter could have married Lin Feng and Lin Feng would have become the Emperor's son-in-law, but Nian Ling Jiao had refused. Instead, Lin Feng had become her brother. He didn't understand.
Nian Ling had said that she didn't like Lin Feng, but now she was protecting him and helping him. The Great Ancestor was confused. He couldn't understand what his daughter was thinking.
"Do you think that if I agree to these two conditions, Lin Feng will become more powerful and nobody will dare offend him?" asked the Great Ancestor. He was worried that he would create another Dongfang Yuqing.
"Father, my cousin has been in the Imperial Court for so many years. You know how many people he has. The four Ministers are all his people. Oh, now Minister Lu Zhan is on Lin Feng's side. Don't you think that's a good thing? "
"Don't you support Lin Feng because you want to fight against Dongfang Yuqing? But Lin Feng can't fight against Dongfang Yuqing. This time, Dongfang Yuqing said something and almost no strong cultivators went to the Law Enforcement Army. It's not fair. "
"Therefore, you have to support Lin Feng. At least, you have to make sure that Lin Feng is able to protect himself. Otherwise, Dongfang Yuqing will swallow all the people that Lin Feng has. At that time, Dongfang Yuqing will control the Imperial Court. Apart from being stronger than him, what else can you do?"
At this moment, Nian Lingjiao's expression was much colder. Even the tone of her voice was filled with a sense of warning. However, beneath her beautiful face was a clever heart that had thought of the key points in all directions.
The Great Ancestor's facial expression drastically changed. When he heard his daughter's analysis, he was terrified. Apart from being stronger than him, what else could Dongfang Yuqing do? The more he thought about it, the more terrifying it was.
"Besides, Father, Lin Feng is the leader of the octagonal region, he belongs to Nihuang. He doesn't care about power, you know that. Therefore, Lin Feng won't be a threat to you. If he defeats Dongfang Yuqing, he won't become the next Dongfang Yuqing."
"Besides, he's a bridge between you and Ni Huang. If he becomes important, the northwest and the southwest world will have a good relationship. At the same time, Lin Feng received the teachings of the Western Buddhist Ancestor, some of the Buddhas' Buddhas' followers."
"Even though I don't know if it's true or not, I'm sure that Lin Feng has the strength of the Buddha. Because of Lin Feng, the entire Western Continent will be able to form an alliance."
"Father, if Nihuang and the Buddha form an alliance with you, a quarter of the battles will belong to us. What else do you have to worry about?"
"Besides, Lin Feng and the Female Ancestor are connected. Dongfang Yuqing brought him back because of the Dragon Ancestor. The Dragon Ancestor might be curious about Lin Feng, so there must be something in Lin Feng's body that the Dragon Clan and the Dragon Ancestor want."
"Father, don't you think it's a great opportunity for Lin Feng to get in touch with half of the leaders and the ancestors of the five great clans?" As Nian Lingjiao thought about it, she spilled everything out. She couldn't help but reveal a teasing smile.
When the Great Ancestor heard that, he realized something. He raised his head and asked, "My daughter, do you know everything about Lin Feng?"
"Father, since the first day I saved Lin Feng, I've used my connections in the Alliance of Tian Xiang and I know everything about him." Nian Ling nodded. She didn't deny it. If she hadn't known everything about Lin Feng, she wouldn't have accepted him as her brother.
"Alright, I agree." The Great Ancestor didn't have any doubts anymore. Helping Lin Feng was indeed a good thing. Compared to Dongfang Yuqing, Lin Feng was much less of a threat.
"Father, the meeting is about to start. All the representatives will arrive soon." Nian Ling's facial expression didn't change. If she didn't say so much, the Great Ancestor wouldn't agree to Lin Feng's request. Lin Feng would be in trouble.
Fortunately, she could change the topic now.
"Yes, the representative of the Tian Dao Court has arrived. I heard that he's going to be the next leader of the court. He's here to gain experience and also to get to know me. We'll have to deal with each other in the future." Said the Great Ancestor nodding. After seeing Jestan, he thought that he was a good kid. It would be great if he could marry him.
But Nian Ling didn't feel anything. She didn't even pay attention to Jestan. The Great Ancestor was surprised, but he didn't ask about it.
"The representative of the Taiqing Sect will arrive soon. Also, the Underworld Judge, the Imperial City Governor, and the Pagoda City Lord are coming."
As the hegemons of the Southwest War World, regardless of whether they were from the True Martial Dynasty or not, they all had to give face to the Founding Emperor. After all, they coexisted on the same land, so they needed to have a good relationship and live in harmony. In addition, the Imperial City Governor was a title personally conferred by the Founding Emperor. The Imperial City Governor was ranked above the four Grand Dukes and only answered to the Founding Emperor.
"I'm just thinking about whether I should invite the overlords of the battle world." The Great Ancestor was still hesitant. Every year, the Zhen Wu Dynasty would invite some overlords to participate in the Imperial City Assembly to see how strong the Zhen Wu Dynasty was.
But this year was different. Lin Feng had appeared in the Zhen Wu Dynasty because of Dongfang Yuqing, so inviting the overlords of the battle world might expose Lin Feng's presence.
"Father, there's no need to invite the overlords of the battle world. The southwestern battle world is enough." Nian Ling Jiao had also considered Lin Feng's presence.
The Great Ancestor nodded slowly. He had been hesitating for a long time, but now he had made a decision. Then, he issued an imperial edict that spread throughout the Zhen Wu Dynasty.
"The Great Ancestor has decreed that the Penal Army will take on the responsibilities of the Imperial Court. At the same time, the Penal Army and the Battle Army will hold a ceremony. The Penal Army will receive medals of honor and the Battle Army will receive weapons!"
At that moment, there were more than a thousand imperial guards in the streets and alleys of the Zhen Wu Dynasty. They were shouting at the top of their lungs so that everyone could hear the Great Ancestor's orders clearly.
At the same time, the Penal Army's assessment was coming to an end. In three days, the Penal Army had finally passed the assessment. 120 Saint Grade God Ancestors and 500 Spirit Grade God Ancestors. Including Lin Feng's 15 Saint Grade God Ancestors, it was a complete Penal Army.
Since the Great Ancestor had agreed to his request, Lin Feng could do more things. He glanced at the vacant positions and saw that there were 70 in total. They were all rank two officials of the Imperial Court. There were also some rank three officials.
These experts were all staring at Lin Feng excitedly. Lin Feng walked back and forth in front of them. The atmosphere was getting more and more tense.
"Let's draw lots. Whoever gets one of these seventy positions will be given the position. Is this fair?" Lin Feng thought for a while and smiled. In order to ensure that no one had any complaints, the drawing method was the fairest.
The Saint Grade God Ancestors and Spirit Grade God Ancestors nodded excitedly. Drawing lots was indeed the fairest method. Whether they got those positions or not, they wouldn't complain.
"Lu Zhan, you're in charge!"
