Chapter 555

Take, for instance, Mo Jiuye, whose breastplate proudly bears a golden 'King' emblem: the ultimate symbol of his current status as the King of Defending the West.

His brothers from the Mo family sport similar breastplates adorned with golden 'General' insignias, each denoting varying ranks, with the highest-ranking generals boasting gold fonts, typically indicating the title of Grand General.

Upon sighting these armored figures, officials, county prefects, and government envoys hastily kneel and bow, their peripheral vision keenly observing the insignias adorning their armor.

Once Mo Jiuye's identity as the King of Defending the West is confirmed, the crowd, led by the prefectural magistrate, collectively proclaims, "Long live the King of Defending the West, a thousand years, a thousand times over."

Mo Jiuye, usually indifferent to such formalities, harbors a dislike for this particular individual due to their chance encounter at the Jingxian Building and the recent incident involving the handling of corpses.

Especially irksome was the inquiry made by this official to Meng Huaining about seeking financial assistance from the prefecture, which, according to Meng Huaining, was met with outright refusal and disdain from the magistrate.

Based on these events, Mo Jiuye concludes that this magistrate is not a competent official.

With the northwest now under his jurisdiction and the authority to transfer officials within his domain, Mo Jiuye has no tolerance for incompetent magistrates.

Initially, he had planned to reorganize his administration after the end of the war.

However, to his surprise, this magistrate has come knocking on his door today.

Given the circumstances, Mo Jiuye decides not to waste any time and swiftly makes arrangements.

With his mind made up, Mo Jiuye casually instructs them to rise and proceeds to walk away in the direction behind him.

Meanwhile, Meng Huaining, who is seeing off his relatives as they depart for battle, observes the magistrate's entourage from a distance.

Mo Jiuye approaches and pulls Meng Huaining aside to a less crowded area.

"Huaining, I intend for you to take on the role of this magistrate. What do you think?"

This proposition catches Meng Huaining off guard.

Being appointed Prime Minister was no small matter; it wielded more power than even the Prime Minister, and only one of Meng Huaining's ancestors had ever held such a position in the history of Da Shun.

However, this was a departure from historical records. Historically, Meng Huaining had served alongside Nan Yu for many years, contributing significantly to the establishment of the empire before being appointed Prime Minister, which occurred many years later.

Nevertheless, this change was for the better, as Meng Huaining would now wield power sooner, aiding in the faster development of Nan Yu's reign.

Meng Huaining, no longer needing to worry about returning to Xi Ling Village after serving as a magistrate, was now headed directly to the capital.

Meng Huaining accepted the imperial edict in astonishment.

The messenger offered no further words of courtesy, simply advising, "The Emperor is currently in need of capable individuals. His first decree upon ascending the throne was to summon the esteemed Prime Minister to the capital. The Emperor hopes that the Prime Minister will not disappoint his high expectations."

Could Meng Huaining refuse to go?

No, he couldn't!

To do so would be to defy the imperial decree, and besides, Nan Yu had indeed saved his life. Without Nan Yu's help, Meng Huaining might have lost his life by now.

"Very well, I will prepare and depart for the capital immediately."

As soon as the messenger left, Meng Huaining was surrounded by the Mo brothers.

The eldest brother patted his shoulder, "Brother-in-law is a man of great talent. Remaining in the northwest would only bury your talents. Now that the Emperor has recognized you, it brings honor to both the Meng family and the Mo family."

These words echoed the sentiments of all the Mo brothers. While they all wished for their sister and brother-in-law to stay in the northwest with them, none of them wanted to hinder their prospects.

A capable person should be in the right position.

Mo Chuhan emerged from the crowd, having spent the most time with Meng Huaining and sharing the closest bond with him.

He draped his arm over Meng Huaining's shoulder, speaking with conviction:

"Listen up, buddy. Remember this well. With the backing of us nine brothers, Han Yue is well-supported. If any of us catch wind that she's not enjoying her time in the capital, you better watch out because we won't hesitate to pay you a visit and sort things out at your residence."
