When the old emperor was young, he was also a veteran on the battlefield. Because of this, he was not stunned by the "Haoshoku Haki" that Yezai had just released.
But even the old emperor, who had been on the battlefield before, couldn't help but feel a throbbing when he felt the momentum carried by Yezai.
Behind Yezai, he seemed to see millions of lions, the horses were neighing, and the soldiers were shouting.
It was really like what this man said, he was moving forward alone, as if he was leading millions of lions!
"Good, you are really comparable to millions of lions. Najenda really recommended a talent to me. What is your name?"
Although the old emperor was old and was shocked by Yezai's momentum at first, he was still the king of the country. He quickly recovered his majestic state and asked for Yezai's name.
"Your Majesty, my name is Yezai, a nameless wanderer in the countryside. I am good at swordsmanship and have a little confidence in my martial arts."
Others treated me with sincerity, so Yezai naturally wouldn't be arrogant anymore.
To be honest, through this short contact, Yezai had a good impression of the old emperor.
If this guy didn't die and the minister took the opportunity to take control of the power, the empire shouldn't be so corrupt later.
Generals such as Najenda and Bulat probably wouldn't betray the empire and join the rebellion.
"Very good, Yezai. Although you have made a great contribution this time, with your merits, I can only let you temporarily be a general of a thousand troops.
Although it may be a waste of your talent with your strength, I believe that one day, you can also become the mainstay of the empire! "
The old emperor was quite optimistic about Yezai, and his evaluation of him also surprised all the ministers in the hall.
Najenda pulled Yezai who was still standing in the same place. Just now, he could be regarded as insensible, but now Yezai had accepted the official position.
As a minister, if he didn't salute the monarch, it was really inexcusable.
And Najenda's little action naturally couldn't be hidden from the old emperor's eyes. Instead, he stopped Najenda's action.
"Since General Yezai doesn't like to kneel, then you don't have to kneel in the future.
As a capable person, it's understandable for him to be arrogant because of his abilities. As the monarch of a country, I still have this bit of tolerance. "
The old emperor's words shocked all of the generals and officials present.
Even Najenda was looking at Yezai in surprise. If she didn't know that the old emperor only had one son, she would even suspect that Yezai was the illegitimate son of the old emperor.
The old emperor's favor towards Ye Zai was simply too vast and mighty.
It wasn't that the Empire didn't have the privilege of not bowing before the Emperor, but the number of people who received this privilege could be counted on one's fingers.
At present, there will also be powerful ministers, as well as General Budo, whose family has been guarding the royal family for generations, and Esdeath, who has been fighting for years and won every time.
And Ye Zai was now the fourth person. This was a treatment that even Najenda did not have.
Although Ye Zai had made a great contribution this time, this reward was a little too exaggerated.
Originally, Najenda thought that Ye Zai would probably be kicked out of the palace for saying such rebellious words. Who knew that the old emperor's actions really made her a little confused …
However, Ye Zai knew why the old emperor was so magnanimous towards him.
The first point was naturally that Ye Zai's own strength was strong enough and had enough capital to make people pay attention to him.
The second was Ye Zai's words. He said that he was working for the people, not just for a certain person, which showed that Ye Zai was not a person who liked to flatter.
And he actually dared to say his thoughts directly in front of the emperor, which also meant that Ye Zai should be a straightforward person.
And such a straightforward and capable person who had no desire for power was exactly the talent that the people in power liked to use the most.
"I didn't expect that His Majesty not only gave you a position, but also gave you the identity of a baron. When he learned that you didn't have a residence in the capital, he even rewarded you with a mansion."
Najenda walked side by side with Ye Zai on the street. Najenda still couldn't believe the experience in the palace just now.
Why did Najenda feel that Ye Zai had only made one contribution, but it was equivalent to her struggling for several years …
"Hehe, if you don't work harder, I will soon surpass you.
At that time, when you see me, you will have to call me Lord. "
Ye Zai teased Najenda. The scene in the palace just now made the friendship between the two stronger.
In that kind of environment just now, Najenda still dared to stand up and speak for him. This was no longer a matter of a close relationship.
If something went wrong, the best result for Najenda would be to be pushed to the bottom.
And Najenda's temperament made her incompatible with the nobles in the capital, and even offended a lot of people. At that time, there would be a lot of people who would hit her when she was down.
"Oh my, you've just become a general and you're already trying to climb all over me.
Now my official position is higher than yours. Believe it or not, I will transfer you to a place where even birds don't shit and eat the northwest wind! "
Although on the surface, Najenda laughed at Ye Zai's small official position, only she knew that what Ye Zai said was actually what she thought.
The momentum that Ye Zai just broke out in the hall, even Najenda, a general with good strength, felt like she was in the middle of an army.
Although she had been overestimating Ye Zai's strength before, she didn't expect that she still underestimated Ye Zai in the end.
It probably wouldn't take long for him to become the most dazzling existence in the empire.
The two talked and laughed, and walked into a tavern with their arms around each other's shoulders.
Najenda said frankly that she wanted to help Ye Zai celebrate. In fact, she had been in the northern wilderness for a long time, and she was addicted to alcohol.
Because in the world of Shinigami, Ye Zai often drank with Shunshui and other drinking buddies everywhere, so he had a good alcohol tolerance.
And Najenda, as a "tough woman" in the army, naturally had a high alcohol tolerance.
It didn't take long for the two to be piled up with wine bottles, but the two still didn't mean to stop. It seemed that they would not stop until they got each other drunk.
Ye Zai didn't care. Anyway, he didn't pay. Najenda had been a general for so many years. Even if she was not as corrupt as other nobles, she should have some money.
However, just as the two of them were getting high from drinking, an interlude occurred around them.
A little loli who was serving wine spilled wine on a noble because she was deliberately tripped by someone.
"Yes, yes … I'm sorry, I'll help you clean it right away. Please forgive me this time."
The little girl was wearing linen clothes. She was only eight or nine years old, but she was serving wine. It could be seen that in the prosperous imperial capital, not everyone was living so well.
"You damn lowly person, do you know how much gold coins my outfit costs?
Even if you compensate with your life, you can't exchange for a button! "
The noble was obviously indifferent to the little loli's begging for mercy. He pulled out the chair beside him and was about to greet the little loli.
