Daqin Zhentiansi

Chapter 503: Can these methods really shake Qingyang Hou?

Not interested in?
The fifth prince of the Qin Dynasty, the one who is most likely to become the crown prince of the Qin Dynasty and the next emperor of the Qin Dynasty, was invited to a banquet, and someone dared to say that he was not interested?

In the lobby, the Fifth Prince's expression instantly turned gloomy.

"Your Highness, the Marquis of Qingyang is the head of the Wuyu Division. He has a special status, so it's normal for him not to attend the banquet. There's no need—"

In the lobby, Guo Wenhua bowed and spoke.

The fifth prince hummed softly but said nothing.

"Grand Scholar Guo's words are surprising," the black-robed old man standing nearby shook his head slightly. "Judging from the Marquis Qingyang's response, it's clear he's disrespectful to Your Highness."

"Although the Heavenly Guardian of the Black Ice Terrace originally belonged to a solitary official, this Qingyang Marquis showed disrespect to His Highness when he first took office as the head of the Martial Protection Division. This is not a good thing, and even..."

The old man's voice stopped.

His name is Li Wenyuan, and he was originally invited by Concubine Jia to plan for the Fifth Prince.

However, because he did not hold an official position and did not serve in the court, he did not have the vision of Guo Wenhua and his actions lacked some planning.

The Fifth Prince really didn't like many of Li Wenyuan's plans.

However, when the fifth prince heard what Li Wenyuan said, he nodded slightly.

"Brother Li, what you said makes sense." The white-robed old man standing not far from Li Wenyuan bowed and looked at the Fifth Prince. "Many times, attitude can prove everything."

He is Xu Wenyuan, the former Minister of Rites. He was once the tutor of the fifth prince. He came from a Confucian and Taoist family and was well versed in etiquette.

The fact that the Fifth Prince was respected by Confucian and Taoist officials was largely due to Xu Wenyuan's contribution.

The conversation between the two made Guo Wenhua's face darken.

In his opinion, it was completely unnecessary for the Fifth Prince to become enemies with the Marquis of Qingyang, who was in charge of the Wuyu Division.

He even thought that the Fifth Prince should take advantage of the fact that Marquis Qingyang's control over the Wuyu Division was not yet stable and condescend to reconcile with him.

But he didn't say anything else.

As the eldest prince left the imperial city, the fifth prince's power grew stronger and stronger, and the fifth prince no longer listened to many of Guo Wenhua's words.

Talking too much will only backfire.

"Your Highness, the Marquis of Qingyang is disrespectful to you, and I have a way to embarrass him."

Below, a young man in green official uniform spoke, his face full of pride.

Seeing that the Fifth Prince did not stop Li Wenyuan and the others from speaking, some smart people in the hall had already made sufficient plans.

"I'll go to the Dali Temple files and look for some cases involving people from the Wuyu Division. I'll ask a few colleagues to help—"

The words of the green-robed young man brought a smile to the Fifth Prince's face.

"Chen Zhengyi, you just have so many clever ideas."

The fifth prince chuckled.

These words are clearly praise!
The young man named Chen Zhengyi blushed and bowed, "Your Highness is right. I just have some little tricks that are not presentable."

"But the Marquis of Qingyang has just joined the Wuyu Division. If he dares to come forward to the Dali Temple to demand the release of someone, we, the Dali Temple, will dare to bring the case to the Qianyang Palace."

"If he doesn't dare to ask for help, haha, how many people in the Wu Yu Division will be willing to listen to him in the future?"

Chen Zhengyi spoke eloquently, his eyes sparkling with brilliance.

He has been attached to the Fifth Prince for so long, and this is the most he has ever said!
Given his status, every opportunity to speak in front of the Fifth Prince is extremely precious!

As for offending Marquis Qingyang by working for the Fifth Prince, so what?

The fifth prince has caught a glimpse of the future prince of Qin!

In the imperial city, how many people want such an opportunity but cannot get it!
"Well, if we can get the Dali Temple and the Wuyusi to compete with each other, then I will contact several colleagues in the Censorate and several chief officials of the Ministry of Rites to make more reports." Xu Wenyuan nodded.

He glanced at the agitated Chen Zhengyi, then at the Fifth Prince: "These methods can't harm the Marquis of Qingyang. After all, he is favored by the Emperor."

"But it can force His Majesty to restrain Wu Yusi."

"As long as Wu Yusi's hands and feet are tied, he, the Marquis of Qingyang, will be a toothless tiger."

In just a few words, a scene appeared before the Fifth Prince where Wu Yusi was in trouble and a group of masters were helpless.

This is the method of a top strategist! No matter how powerful your martial arts skills are, you are just a pawn.

This is what the superiors are planning.

The fifth prince looked at Guo Wenhua, who was silent, and frowned slightly.

He turned his head and his eyes fell on Xu Wenyuan and Chen Zhengyi.

"If this is accomplished, not only will this prince feel relieved, but it will also be a good thing for the officials in the court and the people of the world."

There was a righteous tone in the Fifth Prince's words.

"The Black Ice Platform has always been unconstrained by the law, causing fear among the court officials."

"I think the ministers in the court will understand this prince's painstaking efforts."

Painstaking efforts.

His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince really cares about the officials and people of the Qin Dynasty.

In the hall, some people's faces suddenly became excited, some had tears in their eyes, and some shouted "Your Highness is wise and wise..."

"Your Highness, I don't have any other skills, but I can contact some merchants and spread some news in the streets."

"Once the Dali Temple takes action, I will ask all the shops to cooperate and let the people know that the Black Ice Platform and the Heavenly Suppression Bureau are the court's lackeys."

The old man who spoke was wearing a brocade robe and had a generous look on his face.

His name was Zhao Fuguo, a wealthy businessman from Jiangzuo. Although he was not as rich as a country, he was still a wealthy man in the area.

Unfortunately, in the past two years, many businesses in the imperial city have not been going well. The goods in Liangyuan Territory, the treasures in Qingtianzhou, and the purchase of materials for the Northern Great Wall are all controlled by Yuyuan Trading Company.

Zhao Fuguo's family business has shrunk by 70% in the past two years.

This is also the reason why he relies on the fifth prince.

Without the Fifth Prince's support, he and his business friends would probably go bankrupt in the next two years.

"Look, this is the will of the people." The fifth prince looked at Guo Wenhua again and spoke lightly.

I don’t know if what he meant by “take a look” was for Guo Wenhua to see, or for everyone to hear.

In the lobby, many people understood the meaning of this sentence.

Xu Wenyuan and others had smiles on their faces.

Only Guo Wenhua's expression remained unchanged, but he felt a little helpless in his heart.

As the prince of the Qin Dynasty, his such shameful plan to deal with the head of the Wuyu Division would only make people laugh if it got out.

Besides, can these methods really shake Qingyang Hou?
------------------

Qingyang Marquis Mansion.

Backyard quiet room.

In front of Zhang Yuan, books and jade beads were swirling around.

After finishing reading the book, it turned into ashes.

After the power of Yujue's soul penetrated into it, it shattered directly.

These messages are all top secret in the Zhentian Division. Except for him, the head of the Wuyu Division, no outsiders can read them.

Among these messages are information about the powerful worshippers in the Wu Yu Division, as well as the identities of various secret agents arranged by the Shadow Division and the Xuan Ji Division.

Not only that, the current crisis in Zhentiansi, its true strength, and the secrets of many ministers in the court are all contained in these jade beads and books.

If even a single page of these books were lost, it would probably cause a huge uproar.

When he finished reading all the messages, his body was covered with a layer of broken jade and flying ashes.

For two days, he stayed in seclusion in his mansion and did not go out, while outside the Qingyang Marquis' mansion, the situation was already surging.
