Chapter 5312 You can also defeat him

Ye Wudao nodded: "Go ahead."

Ji Kong said: "In fact, you might as well follow me. What Ji Youlan can give you, I can also give you, even double it. Moreover, I hold the Ministry of Justice. As long as you don't do anything big in Shenxia, ​​no one can hurt you."

Ye Wudao smiled meaningfully: "I'm afraid that the eldest prince doesn't need to protect me. Naturally, there are others who will protect me. And I have done a few things, perhaps in your eyes, great things, right?"

Ji Kong's face changed, a gloomy look flashed by, and then smiled: "Not bad, not bad, although you and I are enemies, but I also admire you very much."

"Ye Wudao, do you know what your greatest ability is?"

Ye Wudao shook his head: "I don't know."

"It's that you speak more directly and act more decisively, just like my father did in the past."

"I dare not compare with the power of the emperor."

Ye Wudao hurriedly distanced himself from the relationship.

Ji Kong laughed loudly: "What can't be said? My father also fought his way to the throne. If he was indecisive, how could he fight for the throne?"

"Prince, you should talk about business. Why did you ask me to come here?"

"Don't you know why?"

"I don't know."

Ji Kong laughed and said: "Isn't it obvious? I am trying to win you over. So, what is so good about Ji Youlan that makes you willing to be loyal to her?"

Ye Wudao shrugged and said lightly: "If I had been with you at the beginning, the situation might have been different. It's a pity that when I first entered Tiancheng, no one looked up to me."

When Ye Wudao became the Minister of Industry, Ji Kong didn't come to win him over. Now he still wants to win Ye Wudao over. It can only be said that it is too late, and Ye Wudao also needs to choose people to cooperate with.

What he wanted was cooperation, not loyalty to anyone, and Ji Youlan gave him room for cooperation. She did not treat Ye Wudao as a minister, and even gave Ye Wudao many resources of the Sixth Palace for free.

Trust and cooperation are what Ye Wudao needs.

If he surrendered to Ji Kong, then with Ji Kong's character, he would probably only treat him as a counselor and would not give him too many practical benefits at all.

In layman's terms, people like Ji Kong want sheep to run but do not give them grass to eat, while Ji Youlan is completely in the mind. On her side, the more you do, the more generous the reward you get, and you cannot refuse to receive the reward.

Sometimes Ye Wudao wanted to refuse the immortal essence that Ji Youlan gave him, which was enough to show that Ji Youlan was still very generous. Only such people can talk about cooperation, otherwise it would be a complete vassal relationship.

In fact, Ye Wudao also thought about competing for the throne for the fifth prince, but the fifth prince was similar to Ji Kong, and in the end Ye Wudao still chose Ji Youlan.

Ji Kong frowned and said, "Ji Youlan is not good. There are not many resources in her mansion. The only ones who can be relied on are perhaps your Zhendu Mansion and that investment company. Oh, and her Daxia Chamber of Commerce."

"What's the use of her chamber of commerce and her people? Wherever the wind blows, Minister Liu will go. If the momentum is not right, think about it yourself, Minister Ye, what do you have left?"

Ye Wudao smiled and said, "The same thing, I also want to say this to Your Highness. Although Your Highness is powerful, it is precisely because of his power that he cannot control all his subordinates. It seems that your people are loyal to you, but..."

"If you are really loyal, then how can you have such a hard time? The Ministry of War is far away from the border, but in the court, you have always been tied with the Second Princess. The rise of the Sixth Prince is just a leverage. With your deep foundation, you can also defeat her. Why..."

"Enough."
