Chapter 5280 Threaten in return

Seeing this, Ji Tianxing said in a deep voice: "Since no one has a suitable idea, I have no choice but to take Ye Shangshu's suggestion, but everything needs to be done slowly. I just want the Zhendu Mansion to ease the military situation." and pressure from the Ministry of Justice.”

"It's just that I am responsible for the expenses of the town capital. The hired guards cannot stay in Tiancheng, find a place outside Tiancheng, or other places. In short, it depends on the situation."

After hearing this, everyone was relieved. It turned out that Ji Tianxing didn't want to make this matter too big. As long as Ji Tianxing didn't help Ye Wudao, how many hired guards could Ye Wudao have under his command?

If the number of strong men is not enough, how can they 'share the worries' of the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Punishment?

To put it simply, it is called sharing worries, but to be more specific, it is to share their interests.

As long as too many of their interests are not affected, they will still object, but their opposition will not be so strong and will not cause too much trouble.

In short, to sum up, Ji Tianxing gave Ye Wudao legitimate rights, allowing Ye Wudao and Ji Youlan to have suitable reasons to develop their own power. As for what they can achieve in the end, it depends on their own abilities.

All Ji Tianxing could provide was legitimate rights and Ye Wudao's safety. After all, all the guards in the palace were assigned to Ye Wudao.

The court meeting continued, but it was obvious that Ye Wudao's status was different, and he was on par with several ministers in the imperial cabinet.

After the court meeting, Ye Wudao came to the Sixth Emperor's Mansion. Liu Zhenyun and other Ji Youlan's confidants also came over, but this time the atmosphere seemed a bit depressing.

After everyone sat down, Liu Zhenyun said to Ye Wudao angrily: "Ye Shangshu, Master Ye! I haven't told everyone about your performance in the court today. Everyone is worried!"

Everyone's expressions were not good-looking. Even though Ye Wudao's status had improved, they did not get any tangible benefits. On the contrary, it was because they were on a warship and might be suppressed by Ji Kong's group.

They had never endured this kind of pressure before. After all, it was the fierce battle between Ji Kong and Ji Qingwu, and their two forces did not pay too much attention to them.

Ji Youlan was silent, drinking tea slowly, as if she didn't want to care about anything.

Ye Wudao saw Liu Zhenyun's menacing attitude, smiled, and said: "Liu Shangshu, and colleagues, don't be angry. Don't you understand what the Lord means?"

Liu Zhenyun thought for a moment and then asked: "You mean, the Holy One wants you to do something? However, the Holy One doesn't want to suppress the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Punishment. Do you know that if something goes wrong with the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Punishment, How much trouble?"

Ye Wudao said: "We gradually have to control the power within Shenxia. The Ministry of Punishment and the Ministry of War, the resources and power they control are scarce for us."

"This is why His Highness wants to win the support of the border generals. Isn't it to prepare for possible changes in the future?"

Liu Zhenyun snorted: "Being enemies of both sides, you can think of either only suppressing one side or being more conservative, but you want to take advantage of both sides!"

"This is the deterrence I want!" Ye Wudao looked cold and said in a strong voice: "I have the logical right to establish a hired guard, and others do not!"

"If Ji Kong wants to take advantage of the power of the Ministry of War, he will definitely need to use my hired guards to do something for him. Similarly, if Ji Qingwu wants to attack Ji Kong, he will also need to do the same!"

That's right, what Ye Wudao wants is a logical reason and excuse, and what he wants is to justify his behavior.

"As long as Ji Kong doesn't cooperate with us, we will threaten us to cooperate with Ji Qingwu. If Ji Qingwu doesn't cooperate with us, then we will threaten us in turn!"
