Chapter 5173: Continue to interfere

This time, Ye Wudao actually followed Wu Qingyan's approach and sold the land publicly.

When Wu Qingyan learned about this, he was so angry that he couldn't openly rent the land, so he was turned back by the emperor.

But Ye Wudao could do this!

Moreover, Ye Wudao negotiated with representatives of the Yucheng Chamber of Commerce for several hours at the same time, and actually sold the land he had previously rented for four million to ten thousand square meters.

The Holy One cared about reputation, so Ye Wudao publicly admitted his mistake at the Ministry of Works, saying that officials in the Ministry of Works had enriched their own pockets and took money from the Chamber of Commerce, so the prices of the land were kept very low.

This is the main reason why the Holy Spirit rejected the lease.

It goes without saying who this person who enriched himself was Wu Qingyan!

The key is that Ye Wudao is protecting the reputation of the Holy Sage. He also said that the Holy Sage had no knowledge before, but now he cares about the kindness of his old minister and doesn't care. Now Wu Qingyan is powerless even if he wants to refute Ye Wudao.

When Wu Shangshu learned about this, he was furious.

This tarnished his reputation and helped the Holy One. He did not dare to say that what Ye Wudao said was wrong.

It can be said that Ye Wudao's move directly suppressed Wu Shangshu, the fifth prince's backer in the Ministry of Industry, severely. It would not hurt his muscles and bones, but it was still very uncomfortable.

I originally thought that Ye Wudao only had so many tricks, but I didn't expect that just as Ji Youlan donated his land on the front foot, the second princess also donated her land on the back foot, which was only one step higher than Ji Youlan.

The trickiness of this is self-evident.

What is even more shocking is that the eldest prince also followed suit and donated some land to the Ministry of Industry. They sold it directly instead of renting it out.

In other words, Ji Youlan has already sent a letter to the eldest prince and second princess on this matter.

The Holy Emperor's decree was issued directly not long after, to the effect that the Sixth Emperor's palace was not wealthy, so half of the donated land and half of the money sold would be returned to the Sixth Emperor's palace.

What Ji Youlan did was even more direct. She divided the half of the money again and gave it to the eldest prince and second princess as an apology.

Only the fifth prince took action after all this was done, and followed suit in offering land, but after all, it was a step too late.

The fifth prince was really overwhelmed with all these tricks.

In the Five Emperors' Mansion, there was a handsome young man with an angry face. He was wearing a yellow robe and looked stern, and Wu Shangshu was standing beside him.

"Father-in-law, you didn't expect his moves at all?" The fifth prince looked at Wu Shangshu angrily.

Wu Shangshu sighed and said: "Such tricks are equivalent to forcing the eldest prince and second princess to pay. How could they be happy? But I didn't expect that the sixth prince would use such a stupid trick. This is not to offend the eldest prince and the second princess. The second princess?"

The fifth prince took a deep breath and said angrily: "My eldest brother and second sister have both been crowned kings!"

"As long as the sixth sister becomes the king, even if she offends the eldest brother and the second sister even a little bit, it won't be a big deal. It's too late for them to win over the sixth sister, so how can they get angry because of this!"

“It’s the people from the Ministry of Industry and the think tank of my cabinet who didn’t expect this to happen at all!”

"I'm still a step too late. Even if I'm too late, my father won't care about me. He will only care about who is the first person to understand the overall situation and who is the first person to send money to him!"

"The one who takes the lead is the one who makes him happy!"

"Kill that Ye Wudao!"

Wu Shangshu sighed softly: "It's too late to kill him now. He is the left minister of the Ministry of Industry and has a third-rank official rank. Even the eldest prince does not dare to touch a third-rank official. How can we do this?"

The fifth prince also realized that he had lost his mind. He regained some composure and asked, "Is there any way to get rid of this person? At least he can't continue to interfere with my father-in-law!"
