Chapter 5302: Not as powerful as expected
Ye Wudao shook his head and smiled: "My Lord, you also know that there is no way out. I am a warrior in the front row. If I fail, I will die. So I can only go forward on this road."
After saying that, Ye Wudao asked people to start the sedan chair and left slowly.
The cabinet minister stared at Ye Wudao's back. After a long time, his expression became complicated and he sighed faintly: "What a brave warrior."
Those who can enter the cabinet have extraordinary backgrounds and rich experience. It is precisely at this age that he rarely sees people like Ye Wudao who dare to rush around in the court, and he is so talented and knows how to advance and retreat.
Just as Ye Wudao said, once Ji Youlan fails in the fight for the throne, whether Ji Kong or Ji Qingwu succeeds, the first thing they do when they ascend the throne is to get rid of Ye Wudao, the dissident.
Now, for Ye Wudao, there is no way out. He and Ji Youlan will rise and fall together.
……
Sixth Palace
Ye Wudao came late. Ji Youlan was processing official documents in the house. When she noticed Ye Wudao coming in, she continued to handle official business without raising her head. While reviewing the official documents, she spoke lightly.
"You know, if the interests of the Ministry of Justice are really affected, we will all die if we don't ascend to the throne in the future. The Ministry of Justice is too big and there are too many forces involved."
"Ji Kong has already begun to claim that it is your influence that has led to the Ministry of Justice's expenses becoming less and less. In a few days, they may have to collectively reduce their salaries. So I guess that the Ministry of Justice will hate you and the Zhendu Prefecture."
The impact of this incident is not low. Once the Ministry of Justice is united against the enemy, even the Ministry of War will not dare to confront it head-on. Naturally, it is unimaginable that even if Ji Tianxing issues an order, the Zhendu Prefecture will face many obstacles.
Ye Wudao found a chair and sat down, shaking his head and sighing: "Alas, the law cannot punish the masses. If they really unite, it will be difficult to deal with, but... there are ways."
"Find the Ministry of War?" Ji Youlan shook her head and said helplessly: "I went to find Ji Qingwu, but she refused to help and just wanted to watch the show. Anyway, no matter who wins or loses between me and Ji Kong, she is the winner. It is best if both sides lose, and she is happy to see it happen."
"She may even secretly add fuel to the flames and support Ji Kong. Even if they are old rivals, they are still somewhat united when they have to face a common enemy."
The current situation has taken shape. Ji Qingwu's move is to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, trying to reap the benefits of being a fisherman. When the opportunity is right, she will take action. Although she helped Ji Kong, she dare not contribute too much.
In that case, Ji Youlan will have no chance of winning, and the situation of both sides losing that she wants to see may no longer exist.
As for Ji Kong, he would naturally go all out to fight Ji Youlan. This was not determined by Ji Kong's will alone, but the unanimous idea of Ji Kong's subordinates.
Ji Youlan's side was much more difficult. First of all, there was resistance from the local level. The Ministry of Justice had many large and small government offices in various states, and its power was deeply rooted.
They could slander the people sent by Zhendu Prefecture by means of framing and framing others. These tricks were hard to guard against, and could only be solved by opening up the relationship between various states and making it convenient for them to do things.
Liu Zhenyun and other forces of Ji Youlan could naturally open up some relationships to prevent the people of Zhendu Prefecture from being framed, but they could only solve a small part of the trouble at most.
There were still many troubles that could not be solved, and it could even be said that this was almost an unsolvable problem.
Ji Youlan's power was not so strong that she could confront the Ministry of Justice head-on. If she wanted to confront head-on, she could only seek external forces. Naturally, Ji Tianxing supported her, but Ji Tianxing was not as powerful as imagined.
