Looking at everyone's stunned expression, Yan Gui Lai smiled and said, "This is also the reason why I asked everyone to support me just now. If everyone is not of one mind, my political intentions will indeed be unable to be realized."
Ye Ling frowned and asked in confusion, "I don't understand why you are doing this. Why are you looking for trouble for yourself? Can't … you be given a higher position than the three departments?"
Decisively shaking his head, Yan Gui Lai said, "You guys have also said that absolute power is accompanied by absolute corruption. If there is really a position that is above the three major departments, then wouldn't that be the emperor?"
Sweat …
Hearing Yan Guilai's words, everyone was speechless. Indeed … if there was really such a position, they would return to their old ways. They would only change the name, but in reality, they would still be an emperor.
Looking around, Yan Guilai said, "Let's cut the crap. Next … let's talk about the leaders of the three departments."
Hearing Chu Xingyun's words, Bai Bing immediately said, "We don't need to talk about the military department. The only one who can support the military department and fight against the demon race is Shui Liu Xiang."
Hearing Bai Bing's words, Yan Guilai looked around and asked for everyone's opinion.
However, it was obvious that it was just as Bai Bing said. At this point, other than Shui Liu Xiang, no one else could control the generals in the military department. Therefore … there was no dispute about this position, and no one wanted to fight for it.
Nodding his head in satisfaction, Yan Guilai said, "Since everyone agrees, then there's nothing more to say. Among the three departments, the position of commander of the military department will be held by Shui Liu Xiang. Her title is — — Commander Xiang!"
Clap clap clap …
Everyone in the room applauded when he mentioned Yan Guilai's words. Obviously … this appointment had received everyone's heartfelt support.
Amidst the applause, Ye Ling smiled and said, "Next is the Ministry of Political Affairs. There's no doubt about that. If Brother Chu isn't in charge of the Ministry of Political Affairs, then it'll be interesting …"
Hearing Ye Ling's words, everyone laughed. Even Yan Guilai was no exception.
Indeed, if he wanted to save the people, he had to take control of the Ministry of Political Affairs. Otherwise … he wouldn't be able to do anything even though he was full of political strategies.
Nodding his head, Yan Guilai said, "I'll take the position of Consul of the Ministry of Political Affairs. On this point … no one has any objections!"
Hearing Chu Xingyun's words, everyone once again clapped their hands.
If it was said that Flowing Water Fragrance was in charge of the military, then Yan Gui Lai was in charge of the government. In fact … even if he wanted to quit, no one would allow him to do so.
In the end, of the three highest departments, only the Ministry of Law was left!
Speaking of the Ministry of Law, there seemed to be too many people who were qualified for it. There was too much controversy.
The selfless Martial Emperor of Crape Myrtle, Mo Li; the wise and resourceful Bai Bing; or the Buddha of All Families, Ye Ling, who had the title of Big Idler — they all seemed to be suitable.
Even Dongfang Tianxiu seemed to be qualified for this position. After all … he didn't lack anything compared to the others.
For a moment, everyone looked at each other. In their hearts … they all coveted this position.
Looking at everyone's expressions, Yan Guilai didn't rush to say it even though he had made up his mind.
Since Yan Guilai didn't speak, the others naturally couldn't speak either. Otherwise, once they spoke, what could they say?
Could it be that they had to recommend themselves? That would be too awkward. The others might not agree.
If they couldn't recommend themselves, could they recommend others? How could that be? They weren't stupid. Who would push away the power that was in their hands? Wouldn't that be crazy?
After a moment of silence, Yan Guilai smiled bitterly and said, "Actually, everyone doesn't need to be too utilitarian. You just need to think about who is most suitable for this position and who is the strongest in this area. That's enough."
Most suitable for this position and who is the strongest in this area?
Hearing Yan Guilai's words, everyone was at a loss. They pondered … Everyone was about the same. Who was stronger than the other? Weren't they all carrying a head on their shoulders?
Seeing everyone's puzzled expressions, Yan Guilai said, "Actually, there is only one candidate for this position. Only he is qualified for this position. If it were anyone else, they wouldn't be able to do it." After a pause, Yan Guilai said, "If there is no objection to Shui Liu Xiang being in charge of the Ministry of Military Affairs, and there is no suspense about me being in charge of the Ministry of Government, then the person who is qualified to be in charge of the Ministry of Law is the only choice to make all of this justifiable. If he doesn't take charge, the people of the world won't agree.
They won't approve! "
Hearing Yan Guilai say it so bluntly, even the dumbest person could guess it.
Thinking about it carefully, it was indeed … as Yan Guilai said, if that person didn't personally take charge of the Ministry of Law, then even if everyone present agreed, it would be useless.
Sitting in his chair, Chu Wuqing's mouth was wide open. He had never thought that after all the twists and turns, there would still be a place for him among the three supreme thrones!
That's right, the only person who was qualified to take charge of the Ministry of Law was Chu Wuqing. If it were anyone else, it wouldn't be possible.
As the Emperor, even if it was only in name, he had to use some methods to demonstrate his imperial power. Otherwise, even a fool would be able to see the truth behind it.
Once Chu Wuqing took charge of the Ministry of Law, then from the perspective of the people, it would be the Emperor establishing rules and regulations, establishing laws and regulations to restrain the officials. All the officials would be bound by the rules and regulations, as well as the laws and regulations, to perform their duties faithfully for the Great Chu royalty!
Most importantly, although Chu Wuqing didn't have any achievements in politics or military affairs over the past hundred years, he was still the Emperor of Law.
Just from the perspective of the judiciary, just from the perspective of legislation and law enforcement, Chu Wuqing did very well, even better than at any time in the past.
Just as Chu Xingyun had said, if all utilitarian motives were eliminated, in terms of ability, Chu Wuqing was most suitable to be the head of the Ministry of Law.
Most importantly, although in name, the three ministries were equal, and no one could suppress the other.
In reality, the judiciary was a level higher.
Regardless of whether it was the Ministry of War or the Ministry of Politics, they had to abide by the laws and regulations. Once they violated the laws, regardless of whether they were from the Ministry of Politics or the Ministry of War, they had to accept the punishment of the law. No one was spared.
Therefore, when Chu Wuqing took charge of the judiciary, in the eyes of the people, he used the laws and regulations as a rope to bind the officials. They could only perform their duties faithfully and couldn't take bribes or bend the law.
Once they violated the laws and regulations and harmed the interests of the Great Chu royalty, as the Emperor … Chu Wuqing could naturally use the law as a weapon to punish and punish those traitors!
In this way, although the Great Chu royalty was reformed, in the eyes of the people, it was still the same old Great Chu royalty.
But in reality, although Chu Wuqing was the head of the Ministry of Law, his position wasn't fixed. Once his term was up, the next head of the Ministry of Law might not be Chu Wuqing.
Moreover, although Chu Wuqing was the head of the Ministry of Law, he couldn't be above the law. Once he violated the law, as a law enforcement officer, knowingly breaking the law would only add to his crimes!
While everyone was pondering, the next moment … another round of enthusiastic applause rang out.
