The alien civilizations present remained silent, and this world was clearly set against the backdrop of ancient Chinese society.
They don't know much about it and don't want to get involved, lest they fall into a trap.
The leader of the Monkey Kingdom suddenly said, "Since it's not convenient to make a move in Kyoto, could we lure them out of Kyoto and then attack?"
Wang Hu shook his head and said, "We have thought of the method you mentioned, but it is not effective."
"First, their cultivation level is higher than ours, and they have been setting up camp in Kyoto for many years. In fact, we are also under their watchful eyes."
"Secondly, the other party has reached the crucial stage of transforming into a dragon, and Kyoto is the place where the fortune is most concentrated, so the other party will not leave here."
The leader of the Monkey Kingdom continued, "If we support a rebel representative to compete with the current dynasty, that great demon will surely be restless, won't he?"
After saying that, he was very proud of himself, thinking how clever and resourceful he was, able to come up with another solution in the blink of an eye.
Some aliens who didn't understand the situation also thought what he said made a lot of sense.
The great demon named Pudu Cihang wanted to use the dynasty's fortune to transform into a dragon, so they supported a force to rebel.
If the dynasty's fortune is split in two, Pudu Cihang will definitely not be able to sit still and will surely leave the capital.
Old Deng couldn't stand the way the leader of the Monkey Kingdom was behaving, and immediately retorted, "Will you bear the consequences of starting a war?"
"The current dynasty is in chaos because of Pudu Cihang. If you lead the rebellion, you may be able to deceive Pudu Cihang, but can you bear the consequences of these ordinary people dying because of you?"
The leader of the Monkey Kingdom was speechless after being rebuked, and could only say with dissatisfaction, "If this won't work and that won't work, then you should come up with a solution yourself."
Old Deng proudly raised his head and said, "I have no choice, but I won't speak recklessly."
The leader of the Monkey Kingdom spat out a mouthful of blood and said, "Then what are you talking about?!"
Prince Xingde couldn't stand it any longer and said directly, "Elder Chen, you must already have a plan. Tell everyone about it, and we will definitely cooperate."
Old Chen nodded and said, "We have already considered the methods you all suggested, but they are unlikely to work."
"But since the other party is the Imperial Advisor of Kyoto, we can use that identity to do something."
"First, I will arrange for you all to enter the Kyoto official system and completely control the middle and lower levels of the Kyoto bureaucracy."
"Then we can use the overall situation to slowly influence the identity of the Grand Preceptor. Once the Grand Preceptor is gone, it will be impossible for the other party to steal the dynasty's fortune, and they will naturally come to us on their own initiative."
Apart from Prince Xingde, all the aliens present were completely bewildered, as they had no idea about the official system of the ancient Dragon Kingdom.
Hu Ba immediately became anxious and spoke first: "Old Chen, you have to make arrangements for us too. You can't exclude us."
Old Chen waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, since you don't understand the official system, you will be responsible for some intelligence work and secretly set up some energy barriers to avoid any accidents."
When the customers of Blue Star received their official uniforms, they were all in a daze, especially Old Deng!
They even call us capitalists, but you're the ones who're truly greedy. As long as you have money, you can choose any official position you want. It's outrageous.
Before dawn, everyone dressed up, since foreign customers were different from locals and needed to be dressed appropriately.
Upon arriving at the imperial court, officials of the sixth rank and above would stand in their designated positions according to their official titles.
The emperor, who looked weak and listless, sat on his throne. The eunuch beside him said, "If you have something to say, speak now; otherwise, the court is adjourned."
The prime minister, standing at the head of the civil officials, immediately spoke up: "Your Majesty, Minister of Rites Fu is abusing his power for personal gain and has secretly gathered many people with disloyal intentions. I urge Your Majesty to investigate thoroughly."
Lord Fu stepped forward to refute, "Your Majesty, this is a slander by the Prime Minister. On the contrary, the Prime Minister is buying and selling official positions and is secretly colluding with the Imperial Preceptor for personal gain."
The prime minister chuckled coldly and said, "Lord Fu is quite adept at turning the tables. Please welcome Censor Chen."
Fu Tianchou's expression immediately turned serious. He knew that this Censor-in-Chief was on the path to becoming a prime minister.
Old Master Chen calmly replied, "Your Majesty, Lord Fu did not do what the Prime Minister described."
After he finished speaking, the entire court fell silent, and everyone stared at Old Chen with wide eyes.
Everyone knew that Chen Lao was on the path to becoming prime minister, but no one expected that this Censor would betray the prime minister.
At this moment, the prime minister stared fiercely at Old Chen, as if he had transformed into countless swords to stab this traitor to death.
Old Chen continued his report calmly: "Your Majesty, recently many people have gone missing in the capital. According to my investigation, these matters are all related to the Prime Minister and the Imperial Preceptor."
Another thunderous remark resounded throughout the imperial court, and everyone stared intently at Elder Chen.
Once they arrived here, they immediately understood that this Censor-in-Chief had his eye on the Imperial Preceptor.
Most people in the court had connections with the Imperial Advisor, since they needed to obtain elixirs and various benefits from him. Even the emperor had close ties with the Imperial Advisor.
The prime minister sneered, never expecting that Lord Fu would target the Grand Preceptor; he was simply courting death.
He now believes that Old Chen is one of the other party's people, and was specially arranged to come and collect evidence against him.
However, their biggest mistake was targeting the Imperial Advisor, completely unaware of his influence.
As expected, the emperor, who had been watching the show, turned cold and then said, "The Grand Preceptor has made great contributions and has been in charge of refining elixirs for me in the palace all this time."
"This matter ends here, Minister Fu. You are the Minister of Rites; investigating crimes is the responsibility of the Ministry of Justice. Don't overstep your bounds, understand?"
The eunuch standing nearby immediately said, "Court is adjourned!"
The prime minister walked up to Old Chen with an imposing aura and said menacingly, "I never thought I would misjudge someone. I hope you have a safe journey."
He didn't take this sixth-rank official seriously, but being betrayed was absolutely intolerable; the slap in the face was too painful.
After most of the officials had left, Fu Tianchou came over with a small group of people and said, "Lord Chen, would you like to have a chat?"
Old Chen calmly replied, "Alright, there are some things I need to discuss with Lord Fu as well."
Looking at the calm-faced Elder Chen, Fu Tianchou began to value him even more; this man was no ordinary person.
...
Imperial Preceptor's Mansion
Pudu Cihang squinted and said in a high-pitched voice, "It seems they intend to attack me. You need to deal with them as soon as possible, understand?"
The prime minister wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said, "Please rest assured, I will definitely eliminate Fu Tianchou and will not let him affect the Grand Preceptor's grand plan."
