Chapter 5184 Can’t you see it?

"If there is something important, I can do it alone. Your Highness needs time before he trusts anyone."

The implication is that it takes time for the Fifth Prince to trust Ye Wudao. If he talks about some secrets and tells Ye Wudao, wouldn't that ruin things?

The Fifth Prince suddenly felt a little unhappy. Although Wu Shangshu was his father-in-law and his confidant, he couldn't be said to be impolite to contradict him like this. It was considered to be a sincere and frank statement.

However, the Fifth Prince had already been dissatisfied and suspicious of Wu Shangshu, so he was naturally unhappy now. However, on the surface, he still spoke with a happy smile.

"Father-in-law, Daoyou Ye was on the wrong side before, it's not his fault. Now Daoyou Ye can find his way back, I am very relieved, please stop saying these things, it can't affect our unity."

Ye Wudao also followed Wu Shangshu and bowed, smiling: "Sir Shangshu, I have offended you before, but it was all unintentional, I hope you can forgive me."

Wu Shangshu felt very uncomfortable with Ye Wudao, and his face didn't improve much after hearing this, but for the sake of the fifth prince, he still sat down and nodded.

"Okay."

The fifth prince looked at Ye Wudao and gestured.

Then, Ye Wudao said, "Yesterday I heard that our imperial guards have captured a lot of evil cultivators, and many cases and wanted criminals in the Ministry of Justice have been solved. This is a great achievement."

Wu Shangshu said indifferently, "This matter has nothing to do with you."

Ye Wudao laughed dryly, "Of course, I don't mean to ask for credit. After all, I have no idea about the process of this matter. What I want to say now is, why has the emperor not issued any decree of reward until now?"

Wu Shangshu glared at Ye Wudao and said unhappily, "Can I influence the emperor? "Is it the will of the emperor?"

"I'm not asking you, Lord Shangshu." Ye Wudao pretended to be terrified and said, "I'm not blaming anyone, but whether it contains the emperor's intention, we still need to figure it out."

The fifth prince's face was not very good, and he said, "Father's will is usually issued very quickly. For such an important matter, I haven't been rewarded until now, which does make me a little...uneasy."

Seeing the fifth prince speak out his true feelings, Wu Shangshu's face became more serious and said, "Your Highness, the time is not right, and this matter is too hasty. "I told you before that we need to wait for an opportunity to please His Majesty, but the time has not come yet." "Recently, my Ministry of Industry has received a lot of land donations from princes and princesses, and the Ministry of Industry is in a mess. We are so busy that we can only think of ways to please His Majesty first and then take credit for this achievement." "Only then can His Majesty reward us." Ye Wudao said slowly: "The Minister said that eradicating evil is the key to success. The matter of cultivation is not important anymore?"

Wu Shangshu responded coldly: "Ye Wudao, let's talk about business now. If His Highness can ascend the throne, then the evil cultivation is not worth mentioning."

Ye Wudao said: "Then what kind of time does the Minister say to wait for? I didn't hear it clearly?"

Wu Shangshu snorted: "Of course, the reward will come as promised when the emperor is happy."

Ye Wudao said again: "What good is there when the reward arrives?"

"You are deliberately making things difficult for me, right?" Wu Shangshu glared.

Ye Wudao laughed: "The evil cultivators should have been eradicated long ago, instead of waiting, and the credit should be divided equally with the eldest prince, who also hopes that His Highness will stand on his side."

"I've already thought about it." Wu Shangshu said: "But if I tell the eldest prince, there will be no response. What do you think I should do? Should I deliberately show my courtesy?"

Ye Wudao said: "Not answering means acquiescence. If they don't need it, they will definitely refuse directly. I didn't expect that the minister is so cautious that I dare not make a judgment."

"With your wisdom, can't you see..."
