Chapter 2636: The Ji Family’s Direct Line Has Someone Else

“Why don’t we give this recruitment spot to that Ji Ziyin?” He suggested a compromise. He glanced at everyone and continued, “Aren’t you fighting over it because you think that the Privy Council can’t recruit two newcomers a year? We also said that we won’t go back on our word… In my opinion, we should give this spot to her directly. This way, only one newcomer will be needed this year. We’ll also have an explanation for the Empress.”
He did not mention the most important reason—a person’s influence in the Privy Council was limited!
If only one newcomer came in this time, then it would be impossible for the Empress to do anything in the Privy Council through them.
The two sides temporarily discussed the feasibility of this method.
The Empress was very important to the hidden families. It was indeed not good for them to embarrass her openly.
Just as the leader who objected was about to relent, someone suddenly barged in from outside. “Old Xue, you have a call.”
The old man in the lead frowned and took it unhappily. “… Didn’t I tell you not to disturb me during the meeting?
That person lowered his head. “It’s a call from the Ji family.”
The old man’s expression changed slightly. He pursed his lips and walked to the side to answer the call.
10 minutes later.
He returned to the conference table and faced everyone with a strange expression. He was a little shocked, a little afraid, and his expression was also a little ugly. “Emperor Ji told me that someone from the Ji family will be participating in the Privy Council’s recruitment this year.”
There was an uproar.
“What?”
“What does the Ji family mean? Isn’t Ji Ziyin one of them?”
The old man raised his hand, signaling for everyone to quiet down and listen to him. “We all know that someone from the Ji family has set a rule. The direct descendants of the Ji family can enter the Privy Council, and they have the right to participate in the recruitment of new members…”
Someone chimed in. “I know that. The problem is, isn’t there a prerequisite for this rule that one has to be a direct descendant?
