Capítulo 1265: Chapter 1250: Divine Power thod
“Eunuch Luv, I wonder why Her Highness the Princess has summoned ?” Following closely behind Eunuch Luv, Ye Zhen asked in a low voice as he stepped into the Inner Residence of the Princess Mansion.
This newly appointed Eunuch Luv seed a bit more amiable than Hee Jin, but as if not hearing Ye Zhen at all, he kept leading the way without a word.
A few monts later, Ye Zhen nonchalantly pulled several chests of jewels from the storage ring, taken from the Royal Palace Treasure Vault of Xitian County, and generously gave them to Eunuch Luv.
After dealing with Zhao Zhong, Ye Zhen had beco quite adept at doing such things.
“This….” Eunuch Luv seed sowhat embarrassed, obviously not yet accustod to such matters after just rising to high rank.
“Just a small token. Please do look after in the future! Share whatever you can, and I won’t pry about what you can’t reveal!”
Upon hearing this, Eunuch Luv’s eyes crinkled with a smile, swiftly putting the boxes of jewels into his storage ring. He then whispered to Ye Zhen, “A Junior Captain from the Ministry of Rites’ Departnt of Honors and Ceremonies is here. That Junior Captain sought an audience with the Princess, who then ordered to summon the Capital Guard Ye. Beyond this, I know nothing else.”
Hearing the ntion of the Ministry of Rites and the Departnt of Honors and Ceremonies, Ye Zhen imdiately understood the situation. It was very likely related to his confirmation of military achievents for slaying the Demon Clan at Thunder Marsh Ridge, and with people from the Ministry of Rites present, it seed today’s agenda was to confer honors.
Indeed, just as Ye Zhen anticipated, upon reaching Princess Changle’s Shaking Fragrance Hall, the Junior Captain from the Ministry of Rites’ Departnt of Honors and Ceremonies, after verifying Ye Zhen’s seal, announced the formal recognition of his battle achievents and the confernt decree on the spot.
Normally, honors are verified through the joint determination of the Ministry of War, Ministry of Rites, and the Heavenly Patrol Departnt and conferred via decrees, without needing the Holy Emperor of the Great Zhou to issue an edict.
To Ye Zhen’s surprise, given his military accomplishnts, it was the highest expectation to see his current rank of Cavalryman elevated to Brave Cavalry Captain, reaching the highest rit rank under the distinction of Captain among the four tiers: Captain, Commander, General, and Marshal.
However, the rank conferred to Ye Zhen by the Departnt of Honors and Ceremonies was General Anze, at the ninth level!
Ranks at the General Level are divided into four grades, potentially granting one the title of General, distinguished by the first character of the title: An, Xuan, Zhen, Zheng, from lowest to highest in that order.
Ye Zhen was granted a title starting with An, the fourth grade General.
Do not underestimate this General’s title. In the Great Zhou, there exists an extrely complex system of military appointnts.
Generally, those who obtain a General’s rank have the qualification to independently command a military unit in the ard forces!
To clarify, while not all bearing a General’s rank lead their own units, if reassigned, they are certain to have the qualification to do so.
In the Great Zhou’s ranking system, the levels of Captain and General are a major watershed.
Captains and Commanders are considered low-level ranks, typically holding mid to low-level military positions, whereas Generals and Marshals, once appointnt occurs, always hold high-level military positions.
Furthermore, while in service, unless there’s a change on a national scale, they have so discretion in their assignnts.
Apart from this, the significance of this rank to Ye Zhen lies in the Psychic Spirit Pill; as a General of the fourth grade An type, he is entitled to a yearly quota of one hundred Low Grade Thought Spirit Pills, with an annual purchase limit of ten thousand pills.
Normally, Ye Zhen would need to achieve comparable battle exploits to those at Thunder Marsh Ridge to be promoted to a General rank.
But now, he has inexplicably been promoted to a General rank.
Ye Zhen initially thought this was the intervention of Princess Changle, but seeing a slight trace of surprise on the Princess’s serene face, Ye Zhen realized it was certainly not her doing.
Moreover, under normal circumstances, Princess Changle wouldn’t engage in such actions.
While Ye Zhen was puzzling over this, the Junior Captain from the Departnt of Honors and Ceremonies suddenly conveyed a ssage to Ye Zhen, “Marquis Xingqing sends regards to General Ye. If you have the chance, you are welco to visit the Marquis’s Mansion at any ti; the Marquis said he will personally greet you!”
With these words, everything beca clear.
The alteration in Ye Zhen’s rank was very likely orchestrated by Marquis Xingqing, the only one capable of achieving such feats.
“I appreciate the Marquis’s kindness,” Ye Zhen replied, also using a secret voice transmission, effectively accepting this gesture of good will.
Afterwards, the Junior Captain from the Departnt of Honors and Ceremonies took his leave, and just when Ye Zhen was about to withdraw, Princess Changle spoke again, “General Ye, it’s not too late to leave after waiting here a mont.”
re monts later, Ye Zhen’s expression stiffened abruptly as an incredibly dreadful and familiar overpowering pressure descended within the hall. In an instant, the palace maids and eunuchs inside the hall could not withstand it and fell to their knees en masse.
Within the entire hall, only Princess Changle and Ye Zhen remained standing.
Of course Princess Changle would still be standing, Ye Zhen felt as though a massive mountain bore down upon him from above. Within his Spirit Palace, the Spirit Pillars shone brilliantly, and the newly ford Dao Patterns surged out from the Spirit Pillars, radiating waves of mysterious Spirit Light, straining to withstand this oppressive force!
The void at the center of the hall contorted, and a eunuch clad in a green Python Robe, with snowy white hair and body enveloped in a hazy glow, erged and knelt before Princess Changle.
Almost simultaneously, the oppressive force dissipated!
“This old servant pays respects to Her Highness the Princess! I wonder what commands the Princess may have? This old servant is only present via avatar; I beg the Princess’s forgiveness!”
Ye Zhen’s pupils contracted abruptly—Master Earth!
It was actually Master Earth, the one with the avatar projection from that day!
“No matter, Master Earth please rise,” said Princess Changle, gesturing to help the eunuch up, then directed her gaze toward Ye Zhen. “Master Earth, you are the Great Commander remotely overseeing the Imperial Guard at my behest. Currently, there is a vacancy for the Second Division Personal Guard Commander under my command, and I wish to recomnd soone to you.”
Master Earth slowly got up, his gaze resting on Ye Zhen, “This boy?”
“Princess, isn’t this boy lacking the qualification? Moreover, just three days ago, I already communicated with the Ministry of War, and within a few days, the Ministry will appoint a General-in-chief with a clean background!” Master Earth said.
Princess Changle pouted in discontent, “How many General-in-chiefs has the Ministry of War appointed over the years? How many of them have been useful?
They can’t even stop those people’s advances, which is infuriating. What’s the use of having them!
“Your Highness, but the qualification, I’m afraid if it’s reported, the Ministry of War will reject it….”
Upon hearing this, Princess Changle flashed a sweet smile, “The Departnt of Honors and Ceremonies just promoted Captain Ye’s rit rank to General Anze, and issued the seal!”
“Oh?”
Master Earth’s avatar projection looked surprisingly at Ye Zhen, instantly making Ye Zhen feel completely exposed, sending a shiver down his spine.
“Then there’s no problem, I will do as Her Highness wishes and imdiately appoint General Ye as the General-in-chief of the Second Division Personal Guard.”
Ye Zhen paused, the Second Division’s General-in-chief Jiangh ng was the one he had driven away, and now he was imdiately taking over the position. Jiangh ng might cough up blood if he knew?
Ye Zhen speculated that perhaps because of the Thunder Marsh Ridge incident, Princess Changle trusted him a bit more. However, Princess Changle quickly left, leaving Ye Zhen alone with the terrifying avatar projection of Master Earth.
“Boy, do you know the real reason the princess promoted you to the General-in-chief of the Second Division?”
Evidently, Master Earth wasn’t really asking Ye Zhen but was guiding him.
“Because of certain reasons, not just beauty, the sons of princes and nobles in Luoyi flock to Her Highness like bees to honey, creating constant disturbances.
The princess prefers peace, but the identities of these noble sons are too sensitive. In this respect, past General-in-chiefs haven’t been very effective.
Now that Her Highness has intentionally promoted you, do you understand her intention?” Master Earth asked.
“Is it to block their advances? To keep them out?”
Master Earth slowly nodded, “So, are you afraid?”
“Afraid? Why would I be? I was just thinking, so fellows might not listen to reason, can I beat them up?” Ye Zhen asked.
“Of course, as long as you dare to beat them, and survive afterwards, feel free to beat them!” Master Earth said with a smile.
Ye Zhen shrugged, “The problem is, if I beat them up, can you protect ? If they’re powerful enough to use their influence against , they might transfer out in a heartbeat and play to death.”
“No one from the Princess Mansion can be transferred without my consent, not even the Ministry of War’s orders!” Master Earth said.
Ye Zhen pondered for a mont, leaning closer, “This isn’t necessarily a good thing! If I go too far, I’ll offend all the princes’ sons in Luoyi! Let ask, if I do well, are there any benefits?”
Hearing this, Master Earth was stunned.
He was stunned for a long ti, then burst out in a surprised chuckle, “So many years, and you’re the first one daring enough to ask for benefits directly, bold rascal!”
“However, I like it!”
“Here is the General-in-chief seal, and for other matters, go to Little Luv to claim them! The Second Division is currently on duty, with no leader, you take the position imdiately.”
After speaking, Master Earth’s avatar projection silently dissipated, and as it vanished, another of Master Earth’s voices sounded, “If you can ensure that during your month on duty, the princess can have peace, keeping those unruly and trashy guys out, I’ll give you a benefit by teaching you a genuine Divine Power thod, how about it?”
“Divine Power thod? Really?” Ye Zhen was montarily stunned, then happily exclaid, “Master Earth, your word is law!”
“Your word is law!” Master Earth’s response echoed in Ye Zhen’s Spirit Palace.
The next mont, Ye Zhen dashed out of the Shaking Star Hall, grabbing Eunuch Luv, “Eunuch Luv, quickly take to assu the position of General-in-chief of the Second Division. Hurry, hurry up!”
The reason Ye Zhen was in such a rush was because of the Divine Power thod!
Typically, one reaches the Divine Communication Realm before slowly comprehending and cultivating the Divine Power thod.
However, now Master Earth was straight speaking about teaching Ye Zhen a Divine Power thod.
Back then, Ye Zhen gained considerable convenience and benefits rely from obtaining the low-level Earth Escape Divine Power thod.
Now, how could Ye Zhen not be anxious?
Moreover, Ye Zhen believed that soone like Master Earth, possibly existing in the Dark Palace Realm or even Realm King Realm, would impart a Divine Power thod that wouldn’t be poor, right?
And this Divine Power thod, requires only one month!
Only one month!
