Chapter 5208: Strong Force

After saying that, his figure instantly disappeared.

Ji Youlan let out a long breath, and the prince was finally taken down by him.

From then on, it can be said that they are barely in a three-way balance of power.

Of course, even as a prince, she still has to tread on thin ice. After all, the Ministry of Works has not fallen into her hands yet. She must win the support of Wu Shangshu to completely take over the Ministry of Works.

Only when the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Works are in hand, she can truly have the power to compete for the throne.

After the court was dismissed, the funeral of Prince Feng began to be prepared. Wu Shangshu of the Ministry of Works also hurriedly came to the government office. Seeing Ye Wudao also came to the government office, he hesitated for a moment and walked up.

Ye Wudao smiled slightly: "Minister Wu, are you finally free?"

Minister Wu's face was a little stiff, and he forced a smile, and said with a laugh: "What are you talking about, Zuo Shilang? I'm always free. I don't know if the Sixth Palace and Prince Suzaku are..." M.

At this point, he made a look, obviously wanting to know Ji Youlan's attitude, but it was not easy to say it clearly.

Ye Wudao said: "I had a meeting with Prince Suzaku before. His Royal Highness said that as long as you are willing to stand on her side, there may be a place for the Minister in the future cabinet, ranking in the top three of the cabinet, no problem."

There are a total of nine cabinet elders in the cabinet, and the top three are even more powerful. They have the right to meet the emperor directly and have control over many major events in Shenxia. It can be said that they are in high positions and have great power.

"Are you serious?" Wu Shangshu took a breath quietly, feeling a little nervous.

This condition is exactly what he wants.

Ye Wudao said calmly: "Anyway, I won't join the cabinet. We will go our separate ways in the future. I won't stay in Shenxia. I will leave the investment bank alone. It can be seen that I don't have much ambition, right?"

"Since I won't join the cabinet, if Your Highness succeeds in the future, the cabinet position will still belong to you important officials."

This is the truth. The investment bank, the department of the Ministry of Finance, can be said to be the most suitable for making money in the future, but Ye Wudao did not join the investment bank, which is very strange.

It can also be seen that Ye Wudao does not seem to have much ambition.

Wu Shangshu said in a deep voice: "Your Highness's conditions are very tempting, and I am willing to agree, but... Ye Wudao, can you really tolerate me?"

"Why not?" Ye Wudao asked back: "Is it that the contradictions and grievances between you and me are very deep? You and I are not life-and-death enemies. Why should I embarrass you? We can still work together in the future."

Wu Shangshu fell silent. Now he is also a figure that all parties want to fight for. Whether it is the eldest prince or the second princess, they all want to fight for him.

The position of the Minister of Industry is still very important, even if it is not as good as the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Justice.

But...

If he does not surrender to the Sixth Princess Ji Youlan, the promises he gets will not be so generous.

However, promises are promises, and they are not something signed and sealed. It is difficult to guarantee their authenticity. So at this time, he seems a little embarrassed and does not know how to make a choice.

Seeing this, Ye Wudao advised: "Sir Shangshu, don't hesitate. Although His Royal Highness Prince Suzaku has obtained the title of prince, his foundation is not as good as that of the eldest prince and the second princess. He needs your help."

"Eldest prince and second princess, in the future, at most you will be allowed to enter the cabinet, and you can't even be ranked in the top three. After all, you followed the fifth prince and lost to the sixth prince, so they won't entrust you with important tasks."

"You see, the sixth prince currently relies most on the Minister of Personnel Liu Zhenyun, and maybe I can be considered half of it, so if there is a position in the cabinet in the future, you will definitely be ranked in the front, while the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Justice are very different."

Shangshu Wu thought silently for a long time, and then slowly spoke.

"Ye Wudao, our grievances can be written off. My Ministry of Industry is willing to stand on the side of Prince Suzaku. If it fails, the worst that can happen is to retire and return home. Prince Suzaku, who controls two ministries and the Ministry of Finance Investment Bank, is quite powerful."
