Chapter 502 Gone
Hearing this, the atmosphere in the lobby became slightly stiff.
The chief of the military commander faction, Ye Mou, was standing on the left side of King Wen. At this moment, facing King Wen's inquiry, he felt an unusual smell.
"I have no intention of doing so." Ye Mou replied, but his attitude was not lowered, "But the expeditionary army cannot be left to the command of Sun Wu Jineng."
After hearing this answer, King Wen did not give his attitude immediately, but was silent for a while before sighing slowly.
"Marshal Ye Mou, I have promised you many things since you came to court."
After saying this, King Wen paused, but his eyes changed a little, "You can see many things, so how can I not see them?"
"Since King Wen can see it, why did he choose this way?" Ye Mou replied, handing over his hand, "My Ye family has burned our bones and blood for the human race for generations, and I have never had any complaints."
"I am already old and have been fighting on the front line all my life. I am not a person who is greedy for power. I am entangled with such treacherous people in this court. My purpose is nothing more than to make the world of the human race a little brighter."
"I can see Marshal Ye Mou's daring loyalty." King Wen replied, "But sometimes, many things are not that simple."
"We want to see the future."
"I am short-sighted and can only see the present." Ye Mou shook his head. At this time, it may be a rare opportunity to speak frankly. He said: "The human race is still powerful, and there are many loyal people who are willing to change. We can still change the human race, why not Do it? Let the human race collapse day by day, why?”
This sentence was a naked question, and listening to this question, King Wen fell silent again.
In the court, other people looked slightly nervous. They knew a lot of things, but they didn't talk about it. Everyone hid their thoughts and tacitly competed with each other in the court.
But now Ye Mou's words clarified everything, not just Ye Mou's questions.
If you can change, why not?
Why did the human race collapse?
This is not only the doubt of Ye Mou, but also the doubt of other generals and even Sun Jizhi.
In the eyes, he finally responded with a sigh. King Wen waved his hand, and then, it seemed to be a compromise, but it also seemed to be an avoidance, "Since Marshal Ye Mou feels that the appointment of the commander of the crusade is inappropriate, then he will change it."
This answer surprised Ye Mou. Although it was not a direct response, it could be changed and he could accept it.
"How about Marshal Ye Mou serving as the commander-in-chief?" King Wen spoke again.
"I will take charge?" Ye Mou was stunned. Li Ming and others on the side did not react. On the contrary, at the end, Luo Qingxuan reacted quickly and stood up. "King Wen, Marshal Ye Mou is old and is serving as the crusade army." It’s not appropriate for a leader to travel around.”
"Luo Qingxuan, what are you talking about..." Li Ming was about to ask, but looking at Luo Qingxuan's eyes, he noticed something was wrong.
Although he is a military commander, he has been in court for many years, and he soon understood.
The Military General Faction is different from the Aristocratic Family Faction. Ji Neng and Sun Wu serve as the leader. They also have many family members and elders who can take up the banner of the Aristocratic Family. However, if Ye Mou leaves, the Military General Faction will instantly fall into an embarrassing situation.
Without this marshal, who is the only one in the court today, to raise the banner, they would lose most of their voice in the court in one fell swoop.
In terms of official positions, Li Ming's generation is only second-rate.
This is not an appointment, but a forced palace. Once accepted, Ye Mou will leave the center of power in Kyoto.
"King Wen, this is inappropriate!" He stood up, and soon, other generals reacted and stood up one by one.
Such a situation was naturally expected by King Wen, but at this time, he just looked at Ye Mou and asked softly: "Marshal Ye Mou, can you accept this?"
Li Ming and others were nearby, and Ye Mou looked a little stiff as he listened to King Wen's inquiry.
If they go, they will lose their current right to speak. If they don't go, and let Sun Ji be the leader, their hard work will be in vain.
"King Wen, if I don't go, the leader can only be Sun Wu Ji, right?" After a while, Ye Mou asked.
"Yes." King Wen nodded without saying much.
The words had been confirmed so far. Looking at King Wen's calm face at this moment, Ye Mou felt an unspeakable disappointment in his heart.
It is not unreasonable for King Wen of the human race to be like this and the court to be corrupt and incompetent.
He has never thought about changing anything. The current crusade against the army may be an option that King Wen has already thought of. Whether to go or not is the worst choice.
Just as Fan'er said that day, how could it be that Sun Ji and his like could be like this in the court because of their family's great business.
Without King Wen's consent, the eight great families would be nothing more than merchants, and they would be nothing.
"That being the case, I'll just go."
After a long time, Ye Mou replied and made up his mind, "The Crusade Army is the last effort of our military generals to gather for the human race. I, Ye Mou, will never let it fall into the hands of such inferior people."
Ye Mou turned around and raised his hands to the many generals behind him.
“It has been a blessing to work with you all these past three years.”
"I thought we could do something else for the human race, but now, Ye Mou has to go first."
"Everyone, please take this seriously."
After saying this, Ye Mou stopped staying and walked towards the outside of the hall.
"Ye Mou!" "Marshal Ye Mou!"
The crowd's condolences did not stop Ye Mou's pace. Soon, Ye Mou walked out of the hall, and everyone looked at King Wen in the court. His face was still calm, with a touch of gentleness.
This kind of gentleness that soothed people in the past is now chilling everyone's heart.
"The court is like this. I, Zhao Hu, am willing to follow Marshal Ye Mou." Not long after, a military general stood up. He was a veteran on the front line. "Today, I resign from all positions."
"Bae Yuanhao also resigned from all positions."
"..."
After a while, more than a dozen military generals stood up, resigned from their positions, and left angrily.
Many of them were people who had long wanted to retire. It was because of Ye Mou that they came together again. They had worked hard but now they had such a result, and they no longer had the intention to stay.
King Wen did not speak, watching these people leave one by one. Among the generals, Li Ming and others did not stand up. Looking at the people leaving, they looked at each other, with an unexpected touch of panic and fear in their eyes. worry.
Ye Mou left, most of the military commanders resigned, and King Wen favored the Family Party. After today, the three-legged confrontation will never return.
Things have changed.
"Alas." After a while, Li Ming finally sighed and was about to stand up. Luo Qingxuan held him back and whispered:
"Lord Li Ming, if you also want to leave, the efforts made by Marshal Ye Mou will be wiped out."
"He's gone, so what's the use if I keep him."
Li Ming couldn't hide his pessimism. Faced with Luo Qingxuan's attempts to stay, he just waved his hands and stood up. Luo Qingxuan tried to stop him, but said nothing.
"Li Ming, are you going to resign too?" Seeing Li Ming stand up, King Wen showed a rare surprise.
"Yeah." Li Ming responded, speaking with a hint of sadness and anger in his words.
"Li Ming has been in the court for more than ten years, and it's time to leave."
After saying this, Li Ming held up his hands and saluted King Wen, without waiting for any response from King Wen, and then stepped back.
"Master Li Ming, if you leave, what will happen to the human race?" Luo Qingxuan whispered again as a last resort. Li Ming shook his head, looked at King Wen, looked around, and saw the aristocratic family who seemed to be secretly happy. The sent everyone finally looked at King Wen again and sighed heavily.
"There is no distinction between loyalty and treachery, no distinction between good and evil..."
"Human race, the situation is over."
