C220 Marquis
A duke controlled a great deal of the country's financial resources. Even Chu King and the surrounding dukes had to welcome him with smiles on their faces.
Hsiang Yunjie's status suddenly rose thousands of miles. Although he had just assumed the position of Prefect in Tiannan Province, with Ye Tian by his side, this was not a very difficult task.
Only now did Ye Tian know that Hsiang Yunkong wanted him to follow him. Hsiang Yunkong seemed to be just a general on one side, but he was very meticulous and had already guessed many of Chu King's thoughts.
If he, Ye Tian, didn't come with him, Hsiang Yunjie was afraid that he would receive a lot of opposition for today's matter.
"Father, Second Brother doesn't have any official position yet. If he suddenly accepts such a heavy responsibility, perhaps it will cause Second Brother to be mentally and mentally exhausted. I hope Father will reconsider!"
Hsiang Yunyang naturally couldn't accept such a thing as a foregone conclusion. If Hsiang Yunjie really became a vassal of Tiannan Province, then things would get out of hand in the future!
One must know that Hsiang Yunkong's actions in Western Front had made Hsiang Yunyang very afraid. He even wanted Hsiang Yunkong to withdraw during this period of time and replace him with his own people in Western Front.
However, the Western Front only knew Hsiang Yunkong. No one would be welcomed in the Western Front. This matter was something that even the current Chu King wouldn't agree to.
If even one Hsiang Yunkong was like this, and another Hsiang Yunjie came out, Hsiang Yunyang's head would definitely explode!
Hsiang Yunyang could still accept a nameless Grace Marquis, but as the current Prefect of the Tiannan Province, he naturally wouldn't agree to this matter.
"Crown Prince is wholeheartedly working for the country, he is truly a role model for the younger generation, but I am discussing this matter with hundreds of officials, there won't be any problems..."
Facing Hsiang Yunyang's doubts, Chu King immediately opened his mouth and spoke. He even dragged hundreds of officials into this matter, giving Hsiang Yunyang very little chance to argue.
However, the hundreds of officials sitting below looked at each other in dismay. They had never known when this matter was decided. However, with Chu King's words, who would dare to say that this was not the case?
"And I heard that Ye Tian is the most important person in the Tiannan Province, the Muguang City. With Ye Tian's help, Hsiang Yunjie should be able to stabilize these matters in a short period of time!"
Chu King continued to speak. This was also the matter that Hsiang Yunyang was worried about.
He knew that Ye Tian was also a very powerful expert in the Tiannan Province. With such a person by Hsiang Yunjie's side, it would be very easy for him to do anything.
One day, Hsiang Yunjie would know everything that happened before. If he came here to cause trouble for the Crown Prince, Hsiang Yunyang would surely be threatened.
"Ye Tian, you should be here. I think that after Grace Marquis arrives in Tiannan Province, there are still many things that you need to worry about. I will have to trouble you with this matter!"
At this moment, Chu King took another step forward, making Ye Tian unable to back down. The current Chu King had already blocked his path of retreat. Ye Tian didn't even have the chance to refuse.
Ye Tian stood up and promised Chu King that if Hsiang Yunjie really wanted to stay in Tiannan Province, this matter wouldn't require much trouble.
The matter was happily settled. At this moment, no matter how unhappy Hsiang Yunyang was, he could only watch the matter take shape. There was nothing he could do to turn the situation around!
"Alright. Since the major event in our country has already been established, I have a very good idea. That is, we will have another competition of strength in Demon Beast Mountain Range!"
Chu King issued the order once again, shocking the princes even more. After all, such a competition of strength had never happened before.
After Hsiang Yunjie returned, Chu King had settled the matter of the competition of strength. As for how much it had to do with Hsiang Yunjie, all the people present started to ponder about it.
One should know that Ye Tian had displayed an astonishing strength in Demon Beast Mountain Range. This time, it might be a competition of strength to show Ye Tian's strength!
The result of the event without any suspense made everyone not very interested. However, at this moment, Chu King spoke again.
"Everyone, work hard. After the competition, the final winner will obtain Champion Marquis's title. This title will be passed down from generation to generation for five generations. It will enjoy the prosperity of the Great Chu for more than a hundred years!"
Chu King's candied shell shot out, making these people who were not interested no longer depressed like before.
It should be known that the title of an outsider was only a temporary title for the generation. Because of the continuous inheritance, the heirs of the title would slowly become less important, and they would even be kicked out of the important roles of the royal family.
Compared to those royal family members who did not inherit the title, the title of an outsider was quite terrible. But this time, Champion Marquis, who had been set up, could be passed on for five generations. Who would have thought that there would be an even more amazing descendant in the fifth generation?
Therefore, everyone became excited. Some of them were the Crown Prince's trusted aides, some were Chu King's close aides, and some of them were even fighting for themselves. Even when facing Ye Tian, they didn't want to avoid him.2
At this moment, Ye Tian didn't want to shrink back. Of course, he knew how valuable Champion Marquis was. If he didn't participate in such a matter, Ye Tian wouldn't be able to forgive himself.
After that, Chu King spoke again. The start of this competition would wait until the dust settled before it would begin.
Therefore, these people had plenty of time to prepare. They didn't have to worry about running out of time.
After the banquet ended, Hsiang Yunjie really came to ask Ye Tian about the upcoming competition. In his heart, he hoped that Ye Tian would participate in this matter.
After all, everyone thought that Ye Tian was Hsiang Yunjie's guest elder. If Ye Tian could obtain the title of Champion Marquis, it would be a great honor for Hsiang Yunjie.
Ye Tian also indirectly told Hsiang Yunjie his answer, which made Hsiang Yunjie feel relieved. After that, he took out the short Qilin horn and prepared to return it to Hsiang Yunyang.
Now that their positions were different, Hsiang Yunjie did not want Hsiang Yunyang to cause any trouble during the gap in his position.
Furthermore, it was just a horn of a strange beast. In Hsiang Yunjie's eyes, it wasn't a big deal.
Hsiang Yunjie and Ye Tian caught up with Hsiang Yunyang, who was about to leave the palace. The former also took out the Qilin Horn.
"Crown Prince, this matter might be my fault. When Father gave it to me, I didn't think too much about it and accepted it. Crown Prince, please don't blame me for this matter. A pair of Qilin horns is the sign of good fortune. My brother! Offer this horn to the Crown Prince! "
Hsiang Yunjie became even gentler than before, because he didn't want anything to happen to the Crown Prince. Furthermore, he knew how ruthless his brother Crown Prince was in the dark!
"Yunjie, you are being too polite. This matter is the decision of the Imperial Father. Even if our son is a subject, how can we change the matter that the King has entrusted us with?"
Hsiang Yunyang didn't accept the Qilin horn. Instead, he had declared war on Hsiang Yunjie!
The matter had already become a foregone conclusion. Hsiang Yunjie couldn't avoid it. Plus, Hsiang Yunyang already had the intention of killing each other, there was no room for negotiation regarding this matter.
"Yunjie, as your big brother, I have to remind you that tomorrow is the day you will be taking up your post. There is still a long way to go before you arrive. During this period of time, things are constantly changing. You must keep your eyes wide open and be on your guard!"
Hsiang Yunyang looked at Hsiang Yunjie. If anyone who didn't know the truth saw this scene, they would think that his elder brother was earnestly instructing his younger brother!
"Others have to be on guard, but the people around you have to be on guard. You also don't know when that knife will stab you in the back, right?"
