The Sky Scale Guard is an institution independent of the Three Divisions and Six Ministries, directly answering only to the Emperor, handling tasks stained with blood. Once targeted by them, even the Heir of Prince Yu would have to concede defeat!
Now, the Crown Prince is unexpectedly handing this sharp blade directly to Chen Mo, clearly signaling that he will be responsible for purging the court!
"In terms of capability, Chen Mo is qualified for the position of Commander, but in terms of seniority, he is still lacking somewhat..." the Empress mused, "Yet extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures. Now that the Great Yuan is in upheaval, it is right to appoint talents regardless of convention. Does anyone have objections to this appointment?"
The ministers bowed their heads, collectively silent.
You’ve already said everything; how could we possibly have opinions?
Moreover, Chen Mo himself is standing right there, and that man is fierce enough to have dared to defy even the Emperor. Even if he were to seize the throne one day, they wouldn’t be surprised. Unless one had grown tired of life, who would want to provoke him?
"I have an opinion."
Suddenly, the voice of Lv Huaiyu broke the silence.
The ministers perked up at his words.
There was once a balancing act between Wei Xuan and Lv Huaiyu. Is it possible that the Grandmaster senses a threat to his position and is starting to push back?
The Empress raised an eyebrow, "Master Lv, feel free to speak frankly."
Lv Huaiyu stepped forward and bowed, saying, "I once had the privilege of hearing Mr. Chen speak about the theory that ’governing a great nation is like cooking small fish,’ proving his strong insight into the art of governance. If he were merely to be a commander, wielding swords and weapons every day, it would be far too wasted on him."
The Empress asked in confusion, "What do you mean, Grandmaster?"
"The new sovereign is young, the state faces many hardships, it is wise to select loyal and capable individuals to stabilize the nation." Lv Huaiyu glanced at Chen Mo and said pointedly, "In my humble opinion, Chen Mo should be appointed as Regent Minister, managing the court affairs and assisting the young ruler!"
"Wh-what?!"
Those present were shocked!
Lv Huaiyu suddenly stands out not to seize power but to grant power?
Regent Minister!
The weight of these four words is immense!
Its status is equivalent to the "Appointed Ministers of the Imperial Command" established by the late emperor, with only one duty, namely, regency!
Once this appointment is issued, it means Chen Mo not only holds the sharp blade of the Sky Scale Guard, but also becomes the head of the ministers, overseeing civil service. To some extent, he can even interfere with the emperor’s succession!
This is truly being second only to one, but above millions!
"Hmm, that makes sense, Crown Prince, what do you think?" the Empress asked.
The young face of the Crown Prince was full of smiles, completely unconcerned about being overshadowed, and applauded, "The Grandmaster’s suggestion is excellent. I already find dealing with state affairs a bit vexing. With the assistance of Mr. Chen, it couldn’t be better!"
"Alright, then let’s proceed," the Empress said promptly, without giving others the chance to object. "Chen Mo, receive your decree."
Chen Mo bowed, saying, "I am here."
"In recognition of your efforts for the nation and assistance to the young ruler, protecting the throne and preserving the court."
