Chapter 298: Coronation Ceremony (5) Sharp Blade - Dark Guard

As Gu Jie finished speaking, the sound of conversation continued to be heard, and even Uchiha Fugaku couldn't help but look at Lu Yi, with a scrutinizing look in his eyes, but it was not too obvious.

If you don't look closely, you can't see it at all.

Looking at the little movements below, Xingye Feng naturally understood everything. He was afraid that some people would not accept it and thought that Shikaku’s qualifications were too shallow to be compared with them, let alone be able to be in charge of the Ministry of Personnel.

Among the six departments, there is no apparent difference in superiority or inferiority, but they cannot withstand comparison by those who are interested.

As the department that appoints officials, the Ministry of Personnel has great power and influence.

It is really hard to convince people that such a department is headed by a young boy.

Feeling the hostile gazes that appeared and disappeared around him, Nara Shikaku looked calm. Although his heart was in turmoil, he did not show it, which instead demonstrated his calm and composed side.

Seeing this, Xingye Feng smiled and nodded secretly: "Shikaku is more calm than before, very good."

Fugaku withdrew his scrutinizing gaze from Shikaku's calm and peaceful demeanor, and thought to himself, "Your Majesty's vision is truly unique."

"Your Majesty, I accept your order and thank you." Nara Shikaku accepted the order in a calm tone and then retreated.

From the beginning to the end, Shikaku's words and actions did not overstep the mark, and were even a little pleasing to the eye.

At this point, four of the six ministries had been eliminated, leaving two. Gu Jie's eyes fell on the imperial edict, and he looked down and spoke loudly.

"Mitarai Shisho is appointed Minister of War, in charge of all ninjas and samurai in the country."

Another appointment was made, and it was taken over by Xingye Feng's disciple. This time everything seemed relatively quiet.

Zixiao had already taken over the Anbu long before, so this promotion was well-deserved and not unexpected.

In addition, the important position of the Ministry of War can mobilize troops, so it must be firmly grasped and cannot be given to outsiders.

Everyone is aware of this, so naturally there will be no dissatisfaction or dissatisfaction.

"Your Majesty, I accept your order and thank you." Zixiao said in a deep voice, and then returned to the queue.

Then, everyone looked at Gu Jie, hoping earnestly that the last spot would be theirs.

The last Ministry of Rites, although not having much power, is at least of the same rank as other ministers. This alone is enough to make people jealous.

Under their expectant gaze, Gu Jie slowly said the last name.

"Namikaze Minato is appointed as the Minister of Rites, in charge of the country's laws and regulations, festivals, schools, education, etc."

After he finished speaking, all the ministers were stunned and looked at a young man not far away in disbelief.

Fugaku frowned, trying to comprehend the deeper meaning behind this, but...his mind went blank and he couldn't understand the meaning.

But soon, his frown relaxed and he looked calm and at ease.

Since I can't think of it, then forget it. I'd better consolidate my position first to avoid unnecessary trouble.

However, just because he could calmly accept the reality, it did not mean that others could accept it. The discussions became louder and louder, and were particularly clear in the hall.

Seeing this, Gu Jie was about to shout a rebuke, but before he could say anything, an ancient, profound and unreachable aura suddenly erupted in the hall.

It was as if an ancient creature in the starry sky had awakened, and every move was filled with tremendous power.

This momentum directly pounced on the rebellious ministers below like baring fangs and claws. Xingye Feng looked at them indifferently and spoke in a voice without a trace of emotion.

"Everyone, do you have any objections to my decision?"

Silence! As quiet as death! The man who was dissatisfied felt his throat surge, but he could not make a sound, as if someone was pinching his throat.

Looking at the majestic and powerful Xingye Feng, they were suddenly awakened, a chill ran straight to the top of their heads, and their pupils shrank to the size of a needle tip.

They seemed... a little too bold, forgetting that this was the master who had the final say, both in the past and now.

"..."

Frightened by the endless pressure, they opened their mouths but could not utter a word, but the terrified expressions on their faces said it all.

Xingye Feng glanced at them coldly. Wherever his eyes reached, everyone felt in danger and the cold light appeared and disappeared.

"Haha, it seems there is no objection. This surprises me."

It was clearly a polite remark, but coming from the mouth of Hoshino Kaede there was no warmth in it, as if it was the dead of winter.

Hearing this, everyone lowered their eyes and looked at the floor tiles, as if there was something interesting there.

The straight gaze seemed to penetrate the floor tiles.

"When you judge others, you'd better consider your own qualifications."

Xingye Feng's voice was as cold as frost and snow, and it struck everyone's heart.

In the magnificent hall, no one raised their heads. Except for Hashirama and Madara, no one dared to bring bad luck to Hoshino Kaede.

"Your disciple is as powerful as ever." Uchiha Madara said to Hashirama in a voice as soft as a mosquito.

"Haha, otherwise, how could he be elected as emperor by the people?" He said with a happy look on his face, his mouth wide open.

Uchiha Madara snorted and turned his head away, not wanting to listen anymore.

This master and disciple were simply his nemesis. No matter the older or younger one, they were all superior to him.

Not to mention the whispers of these two people, the atmosphere in the hall took a sharp turn for the worse, becoming more and more depressing, making people feel as if an invisible tight hoop was getting tighter and tighter.

However, this depressing atmosphere only lasted for a moment and then disappeared, as if everything just now was an illusion.

As if changing his expression, Xingye Feng's cold gaze suddenly relaxed, and then he smiled.

"Of course, I believe everyone here is smart, right?"

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone agreed with him and nodded hurriedly, as if they would face the abyss if they were too slow.

"Very good, it seems no one has any objections." Xingye Feng said with a smile.

Then he changed the subject and continued, "The empire is very large, it is impossible to have only these six departments."

Hearing these words, it was like a candle in the dark night, lighting up the hope in their hearts, and they stared straight at Xingye Feng.

Does this mean that they still have a chance?

With this thought in mind, they listened attentively.

Then, Xingye Feng smiled and said, "It won't be enough to have only these six departments in such a large territory. The other original departments will be retained as appropriate and transferred under the six departments."

The meaning is very clear. Existing departments will not be abolished all together, and some important departments will be retained.

"The Anbu is renamed the Anwei, which is independent of the six ministries and directly reports to the emperor. It has the power to execute first and report later!"

After he finished speaking, Xingye Feng keenly noticed that some people with ulterior motives were becoming nervous.

This is exactly the effect he wanted to achieve. Without reverence, there would be no restraint.

The existence of the secret guards is like a sharp blade hanging over the heads of officials, reminding them to examine themselves at all times.
