Chapter 158: Vice Commander

The first thing Su Qi did after returning home was to find Su Jinyu, telling him that he had thought it through that now it was a turbulent eventful time, so he should stay in the capital and do something for the family and requiring for a position in the capital.

Only by breaking into the power core of the capital could he gain real power to become well-informed and able to mobilize personnel.

Although Su Jinyu didnt know why Su Qi suddenly changed his mind, he was overjoyed.

He, as the candidate of a master, certainly couldnt take an important position in the capital. After the reshuffle, the Su family had just seized a vital openingthe vice commander of General Commander. Su Qi was the best candidate in his mind, and so did their father.

However, Su Qi had been reluctant to say in the capital and two days ago claimed to leave. Besides, he was a stubborn person onto whom a will wouldnt be forced on, or he could make more serious troubles. Just a moment ago, Su Jinyu was pondering how to keep Su Qi to stay with brotherhood.

Upon hearing Su Qis request, he instantly pulled him to the General Commanders office and received the military rank, uniform and seal, in case that he might regret.

The General Commander ranked the third-level, called as Mr. Commander, while the Vice Commander ranked the third-level, called as Mr. General. This time, the Su family had invested a huge lump of money to vie for the position.

When some people were happy, others must be upset.

As Su Qi took office, the close servant general eunuch De instantly reported to the Emperor.

The Emperor hit the ceiling and swept off all the memorials on the table.

The reason why he had agreed to give the position to the Su family was because, by his projection, the person it would assign would never outperform Na Wuchang, the new Commander he had assigned.

Originally, the position of General Commander was held in the hand of Prince Jing while that of Vice Commander in his own hand, so both were in the hand of the imperial supporters.

However, this time as Prince Yu was dismissed, the position of vice commander must be sacrificed along with him, and other positions related to guarding also underwent a reshuffle, so taking this opportunity, the Emperor had fired many people in the Su camp.

Certainly, the Su family was upset.

His man got the General Commander, so the vice position wasnt so important anymore. Hence, upon receiving the Sus memorial, he gave the vice position to the Su family as an appeasing.

He had already predicted of the people that the Su family might assign to the position. The eldest lord Su was an outstanding man, the candidate for future master. Certainly, he wouldnt take the position. The other Sus were either of lesser identity or clumsy martial artists. They could never outperform Na Wuchang. But unexpectedly, they chose Su Qi.

This lord Su Qi was an excellent martial artist, of noble origin, stubborn and determined, a hard bone to chew on. Even his father could do nothing to him, let alone Na Wuchang.

This time, the Emperor had really lifted a rock only to drop on his own feet. Very likely, the security team in the capital was delivered out. How could he not be upset?

Casting the memorials, he still pulled a gloomy face, but was less angry. Eunuch De had asked others to leave, who had done so readily.

Picking up the memorials and seeing that the Emperor wasnt that pissed off, eunuch De smiled pleasingly, Dont be angry your majesty. That Su Qi is only a naught dandy. Maybe he just takes the position on a whim, and maybe he will leave it behind after several days. By then, if you take back the position, the Sus wont dare to say a word.

The Emperor wasnt as optimistic as eunuch De. He wasnt that shallow. After his anger vented, he resumed a sober mind.

He snorted heavily, which scared the cold sweat out of eunuch De, and his slant slim eyes burst with chills of murderousness, Wasnt Su Qi never interested in a position in the capital and claiming to leave a few days ago? Why did he jump out at this time? What good did he get?

Eunuch De hadnt expected the Emperor would calm down by his words and, scared by the gaze, instantly replied in his high pitch tone while making feminine gestures, It was said he did it voluntarily.

Huh? Voluntarily? The Emperor was perplexed. This was so not Su Qi. Now that he aspired at uprooting all noble families as his top priority, certainly, the Emperor knew inside and out the personalities of each noble lord of each clan.

Eunuch De replied, Yes.

The Emperor took it with a grain of salt, What did he do recently?

Eunuch De thought for a while and responded, Days ago, he escorted Mo Qianxue back to the Founder mansion. This morning, he visited her again

Su Qi is an arrogant boy and always keeps a high profile. Who did he ever care? Escorted and visited? He likes Mo Qianxue.

Speaking of this, the Emperor displayed a playful smirk, Id like to see his reaction if he gets to know that Mo Qianxue is an abandoned woman of Ning Shaoqing How embarrassed his old man Su Xingyan will be! Haha

The Emperor dared to laugh at master Su, but eunuch De didnt. Seeing that the Emperor got beside himself, he reminded, Your majesty, Im afraid the Su family is also attracted by Mo Tianfangs unauthorized forcesbe careful of them

The Emperors laugh lingered, De, a show is on. Mo Qianxue is pretty useful as a chess piece.

An emperor is fickle. The laugh didnt end yet when his face turned stormy again, in a split second, Right, what about the Empress? Keep an eye and stop the woman from doing a stupid thing again.

Eunuch De was used to his fickleness, Ive already sent eyes there, your majesty. Yesterday, her majesty summoned Princess Yuhe, and

Hearing this news, the Emperor smiled, The bitchy woman is stupid as usual, but this time, she did a good thing.

Although it was a smile, the resentment on the corners of his lips was nowhere to hide. Nevertheless, he didnt try to hide it anyway.

Eunuch De complimented, Your majesty has supreme wise to predict a situation thousands of miles away and make proper decisions accordingly. The slightest sign cant escape your sharp eyes

To live well here, being capable was one thing. Apple-polishing was a must too.

Convinced that everything was under control again, the Emperor paced back to the imperial chair, Let them enjoy themselves for a while. After I clean up the Nings, the next is the Sus.

Sitting back, he frowned, The black wooden token hasnt found yet?

Evidently, eunuch De hadnt expected this question to be asked at this point and became truly anxious, Not yet

It was rare that the Emperor didnt fly into a fury but stayed calm, Fine. In a few days, Mo Qianxue will obediently put it in my hand and ask me to do her justice

Then, congratulations, your majesty. Nobody can escape your grip anymore
