The fifth prince said, "Thank you Daoist Ye for your guidance. It's just that the current situation is becoming more and more unfavorable to me. What do you think I should do? Is it possible that I must try my best to please my father now, so that I can have a chance?"
Ye Wudao said with a smile, "Fifth prince, the advantage is still on our side now. We can't talk about our lives hanging by a thread. Now we still have to see what the Holy One means. That's right. The most critical part of the battle between you and the sixth prince is still Look at your father's thoughts."
"If you are too deliberate, it will arouse the disgust of the Holy Majesty. If you don't show your means, the Holy Majesty will also think that your ability is too weak, so now, you need merit."
"Achievement..." The fifth prince couldn't help sighing while he was thinking, "It's just patronizing intrigue, and it should be for the people of Shenxia, to dedicate myself and suppress the evil cultivators in my Shenxia territory."
"Oh?" Ye Wudao said strangely, "Could it be that His Highness has already prepared?"
The fifth prince said complacently, "As expected, you have seen it. These preparations have been made long ago, but Lord Shang Shu has been pressing down to prevent me from being in the limelight. Now is the time."
Ye Wudao knew in his heart that Wu Shangshu must want to suppress the reputation of the sixth prince and make some progress before proceeding with this step. Only in this way can the power of the fifth prince be demonstrated by comparison.
But unexpectedly, Ye Wudao's appearance in the middle broke the plan of the fifth prince and made the fifth prince suspicious of Wu Shangshu.
If there is no Ye Wudao, I am afraid that the fifth prince has already succeeded. In the situation in the Shenxia Dynasty, the fifth prince may have the upper hand, and the sixth prince will not have much chance.
Of course, no matter how much the subordinates fight, everything depends on the emperor's mind.
It is true that the emperor attaches great importance to his own reputation, but if he really wants to promote a certain child, no amount of resistance will be able to stop him.
Now, Ye Wudao is the most unpredictable and unsure about the emperor's thoughts. He has been promoted to the position of third-rank official before meeting the emperor.
This speed of progress is still too fast, so fast that Ye Wudao has no time to strategize and fully grasp the real power.
Of course, he also has no intention of being greedy for power, and only wants to work hard to improve his cultivation. Moreover, in Shenxia's court, there are intrigues every day, and he doesn't have so much time to intrigue.
After thinking for a moment, Ye Wudao said, "His Highness's plan can be implemented as soon as possible. The most urgent thing now is to improve His Highness's status in the mind of the Holy One, which is the most important thing."
"In addition, Your Highness, I would like to express my sincerity, resign from my current position, and recommend someone else to the Holy Majesty, please give me instructions!"
That is to say, Ye Wudao wants to give up the current position of the left servant of the Ministry of Industry to the person appointed by the fifth prince.
This can be said to be full of sincerity, because both the fifth prince and him know very well that no matter how nicely they talk to each other on the surface, in fact, the two have no basis for trust at all, just a few words, the fifth prince will not completely trust Ye Wudao.
If Ye Wudao does not take retreat as an advance, the fifth prince may still be persuaded by Wu Shangshu in the end.
Although Wu Shangshu and the fifth prince are suspicious now, the suspicion can be gradually eliminated. By then, Ye Wudao will have no chance to infiltrate.
The fifth prince pretended to be stupid and said, "Oh? Fellow Daoist is very capable and can take on the position of servant. If you don't have enough experience, just take your time. Why worry?"
Ye Wudao sighed, "Your Highness is highly regarded. In terms of ability, there must be many people under His Highness who are more capable than me. Moreover, people like me may be double-faced in the eyes of His Highness."
Such a sincere statement made the fifth prince sincerely admire him. After all, Ye Wudao came from the lower realms, he was well-informed and knew when to express his sincere opinion. JrNovels.com
