After listening to Liu Jin's description, Ye Ning had a rough understanding of the Overwatch Council.
Instinct told him that the Overwatch Council position had a lot of room for maneuver.
However, the others had a different opinion.
For example, Ji Mingyue.
The emperor, who had just finished morning court, did not rest. Instead, he returned to the royal study.
"Xiang Liu, what do you think of my decision to place Ye Ning in the Overwatch Council?”
Liu Shen was also here.
Still, only the monarch and his subjects replied.
There were many such scenes. The civil and military officials of the Great Zhou were already used to it.
The treacherous minister Liu Shensheng was ridiculously favored and had such a privilege.
"Isn't it a waste of talent?"
Liu Shen hesitated for a moment before asking.
In the past, to be able to enter the Overwatch Council was equivalent to becoming a phoenix.
After all, the Overwatch Council at that time could be said to be a first-class authority. It gathered the power of justice, prison, supervision, and so on. Its limelight was unparalleled.
However, that was then and that was now. The current Overwatch Council had long fallen to an outrageous state.
Everyone had even forgotten about the Overwatch Council.
It had been a thousand years since the Overwatch Council lost its position.
Such a long period of time was enough to wear down everyone's will.
Liu Shen wasn't really a treacherous minister. He looked like he didn't do anything, but in reality, he knew every department in the court like the back of his hand.
Only the Overwatch Council was an exception.
Because there was really nothing to understand about the Overwatch Council. The place that used to make people tremble in fear was now just a run-down courtyard.
Who else was inside and what they were doing…No one cared.
Was it appropriate to put Ye Ning in such a forgotten place?
" It is indeed a waste of talent. The current Overwatch Council has long existed in name only. If it wasn't for the ancestor's instructions, the Overwatch Council must not be abolished. I'm afraid it would have been abolished a few hundred years ago…" Ji Mingyue sighed. The decline of the Overwatch Council, in a sense, also represented the weakening of the imperial power, but this was not something she could change."The reason why Zhen placed Ye Qing in such a place is actually to grind his temper.”
Liu Shen was deep in thought.
"Your Majesty, do you think that Ye Ning will easily cause trouble if he goes to another yamen?”
Ji Mingyue bitterly smiled and said.
"It's not that it's easy to cause trouble, but it's definitely going to cause trouble!”
"Minister Ye abhors evil like an enemy and does not rub sand in his eyes. Now, in the court, corrupt officials run amok.”
"If he saw it, would he be able to tolerate it? I'm afraid he'll cause a big commotion again. After thinking about it, only the Overwatch Council is suitable for him.”
Hearing this, Liu Shen sighed.
"The current world is really absurd. Crafty sycophants run amok, and gentlemen have nowhere to go.”
He no longer objected to this matter.
Ji Mingyue's arrangement made sense.
With Ye Ning's personality, it would be too easy to be targeted in other places.
And as a treacherous party and a fatuous ruler, they could not help him on the surface.
He could only fight alone.
Could he defeat those officials alone?
It was obviously impossible.
Ye Ning was already eye-catching enough. There were many people who secretly hated him and wanted him dead.
How could Ji Mingyue bear to put him in the limelight again?
So he could only let Ye Ning go to the Overwatch Council.
Firstly, it could force him to quiet down and weaken his influence. It could be considered a different kind of protection.
Secondly, although the Overwatch Council was abolished, it was still very noble in the entire official system. Ye Ning becoming an imperial censor would not be considered a disgrace to him.
"I can only let Ye Qing suffer. When the limelight passes, zhen will think of a way to put him in an important position!”
Ji Mingyue was also in pain.
He had a virtuous minister but could not be used. Instead, he had to put him in a defunct yamen to hide his strength and bide his time.
This was undoubtedly a very uncomfortable thing for a ruler.
However, she knew that a little impatience could ruin a big plan. Sometimes, a temporary concession was necessary.
Ye Ning is too straightforward and doesn't know how to back down. In that case, I can only help him and force him to disappear for a period of time.
On this point, Ji Mingyue and Liu Shen reached a consensus.
The two felt that Ye Ning would definitely settle down after going to the Overwatch Council.
What a joke. How many years had the Overwatch Council been abandoned?
What could that lousy place do?
It was impossible.
……
"So what if the Overwatch Council is crippled? I must make a commotion!"
Ye Ning, who had just left the palace, had a completely different idea.
He had to stir up trouble. If he didn't, how could he court death?
How could he die if he didn't seek death?
How could he become a Heavenly Emperor if he didn't die?
This bro isn't someone who gives up easily.
He asked around and found out where the Overwatch Council was, so he rushed over.
The Overwatch Council was located in the north of the city, far away from the downtown area, far away from other yamens, and not connected to the residences of the high officials and nobles.
It seemed to occupy an independent space.
Ye Ning walked over and looked into the distance. The Overwatch Council occupied a huge area. It had the size of a prince's mansion.
From this, one could see how glorious the Overwatch Council had been in the past.
But now, only endless bleakness remained.
When he walked over, he realized that the door was tightly shut. It had been a long time since anyone had cleaned the door, and it was piled with fallen leaves.
The words " Overwatch Council " written by Taizu himself on the door had already been covered in a thick layer of dust. It looked dull.
The two stone lions at the entrance were the most ridiculous. One of them had even lost its head, but no one thought of repairing it.
" This is the fucking Overwatch Council?"
It was better to meet than to hear.
Ye Ning was stunned.
When Liu Jin said that the Overwatch Council had fallen and had now become a rubbish yamen that even dogs wouldn't go to, Ye Ning felt that it was a bit exaggerated.
Now that she saw him, she realized that Liu Jin was being too polite.
Is there really someone working in this lousy place?
The corner of Ye Ning's mouth twitched. He stepped forward and wiped the door with his sleeve, revealing an ancient couplet.
Deceiving others is like deceiving heaven, not deceiving yourself;
To betray the country is to betray the people. How can we bear to betray them?
This was also written personally by Taizu.
The content was thought-provoking.
In the past, he was the pride of the Overwatch Council, but now, he was full of sarcasm.
"Stop looking. There's no one inside today.”
An old man who was passing by saw Ye Ning pacing back and forth, so he stopped and said.
"Where did he go?"
The old man said with disdain.
"Where else can I go? A brothel? A tavern? In short, if you wanted to see them, you had to try your luck. God knows when someone would be on duty.”
