Chapter 149 This is a gift from this old man to you
"My lord... why is it inappropriate?" Ye Yunshu asked, somewhat puzzled.
Lord Shangguan waved his hand.
"Lord Ye, I've practically watched you grow up, and I know your abilities."
"The girls in the Ye family are all exceptionally good." As he spoke, Elder Shangguan gave Ye Yunshu a thumbs up.
Ye Yunshu simply smiled and waited for Elder Shangguan to continue speaking.
"It's precisely because all the girls in your Ye family are so wonderful that you can't be the one to enter this game."
Your Ye family has controlled the Surveillance Bureau of Dayu since your great-great-grandfather.
Over the past century, the Inspectorate has accomplished countless earth-shattering feats.
The audits that others dare not investigate are all handled by your supervisory department; the cases that are unclear are all uncovered by your supervisory department, revealing even the smallest clues.
People say that the officialdom in Chongqing is clean and honest.
But I can tell others that the integrity of the officialdom in Chongqing is largely thanks to your Supervision Department.
Therefore, the Inspectorate cannot be without personnel.
Recently, there has been considerable activity in both the north and the southwest.
To ensure a smooth and peaceful end to the war in these two locations, the Inspectorate must keep a close eye on things.
All military supplies and provisions must pass through your inspection department to ensure they are delivered to both locations.
"How could you, the Minister of the Censorate, get involved in something like this at such a crucial time!" Lord Shangguan said softly.
Ye Yunshu remained silent for a while before nodding slightly.
"It was my oversimplification that led me to think things through."
Ye Yunshu's original idea was to dig a big pit for the King of Wu.
They asked Yang Zhengtong to identify himself as the one who arranged for him to do these things.
Given the hatred the King of Wu harbored towards him, he would surely use this as an excuse to make a big fuss.
As long as the King of Wu dares to send someone to summon her, she dares to go to the Ministry of Justice's prison.
Moreover, Ye Yunshu was not worried at all that the King of Wu would dare to be ruthless towards her.
Once I'm in jail, that person far away in the north will find out...
Haha, the King of Wu is basically finished!
But... it seems like it might affect the daily operations of the Inspection Department.
He was so focused on dealing with the King of Wu that he neglected the military affairs in both regions.
Hearing what Elder Shangguan said, Ye Yunshu suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
She... is still not as good as these older folks!
...
Lord Shangguan was satisfied to see that Ye Yunshu looked ashamed.
This Lord Ye... he also knows a little about the inside story, but His Majesty forbids anyone to speak of it, so he would never dare to utter a single word.
"Alright, I was just offering a suggestion."
Lord Ye has a strong sense of righteousness and more important things to do.
As for such a trivial matter... leave it to this old man to handle! Lord Shangguan said with a smile.
"you?"
Whether it was the Crown Prince, the Crown Princess, or Ye Yunshu and Song Zhimian, they were all startled.
"What? Am I not good enough? No one will believe me if you try to pin that kind of thing on me."
But the King of Wu... he must also hate me to the extreme.
The Ruan family was impeached by the Censorate, and that was done with my permission.
The King of Wu hates me no less than he hates Lord Ye!
That's how it was settled.
"There's no time to lose, Lord Ye. You should think about the specifics. I have some things to discuss with the Crown Prince." Lord Shangguan said, holding the Crown Prince's hand tightly.
Upon hearing this, Ye Yunshu quickly led Song Zhimian out of the hall where the Crown Prince was holding his meeting.
...
Song Zhimian saw Ye Yunshu off from the East Palace.
The Crown Princess also packed a box of tea and had Song Zhimian present it to her.
To others, it seemed that Ye Yunshu had received a reward from the Crown Prince and Crown Princess, and that Song Zhimian, the female official, was helping Ye Yunshu return the reward.
The two walked one after the other, with only a body length between them.
Song Zhimian held the box in her hands, looking straight ahead without glancing to the side.
Ye Yunshu also kept her eyes fixed straight ahead.
From a distance, no one else noticed anything amiss.
But if you get closer, you'll find that the two are talking in hushed tones.
"The Crown Princess was invited to Ronghua Palace by Consort Wu today, which must have been orchestrated by Ruan Ronghua."
"Now everyone inside and outside the palace is saying that the female guards in the palace are under the control of the Crown Princess," Song Zhimian said softly.
“I understand, this news must have been leaked by Ruan Ronghua.”
She released these messages to cooperate with the King of Wu's plan.
"Only by making everyone believe that the Crown Prince and Crown Princess control the capital can they make their actions seem reasonable in the eyes of others." Ye Yunshu continued walking.
"Then the palace... Lord Ye should make some preparations," Song Zhimian continued to remind him.
Ye Yunshu nodded gently.
"Don't worry! The palace is... perfectly safe. Anyone who wants to cause trouble in the palace is dreaming!"
Those people won't be able to leave the palace!
Song Zhimian felt somewhat relieved.
As long as things don't get chaotic in the palace, nothing serious will happen.
As it stands, the King of Wu can only cause trouble outside the palace; he has no power to do anything about things inside the palace.
At most, it would be someone like Ruan Ronghua passing on a message...
"My lord, there is one more thing. If Yang Zhengtong is brought to justice, people outside will surely say whatever they want."
Could you arrange for someone to provide appropriate guidance?
Although the Crown Prince didn't do it, those people said unpleasant things without any qualms.
"Three men can make a tiger... It's better to be careful!" Song Zhimian reminded her again.
Ye Yunshu hummed in agreement and quickened her pace.
Although Wei Yanli went to the southwest with Xiao Huaijin, she could still speak at the Chunbuwan Teahouse.
There are some things I need to arrange...
Song Zhimian quickly helped Ye Yunshu deliver the items to the Inspection Department.
Although the people in the Inspection Department discussed the explosion that happened in Zhuangyuan Lane today, they only said a few words and then moved on.
The crown prince's position is secure; why would he need to resort to such low-class means to prove anything?
It must have been done by some guy who coveted the crown prince position but could only dream about it.
The people from their inspection department...
Hehe, just do your job well, other things are none of their business!
There are wars in both the north and the southwest, and so many accounts to review; there's no time to waste on trivial matters...
...
Song Zhimian returned to the East Palace, chatted with the Crown Princess for a while, and then followed the Crown Princess to the small kitchen to have the cook prepare some dishes that Lord Shangguan liked.
"What can be digested should be softer and lighter!"
...
Inside the council chamber, Lord Shangguan held the Crown Prince's hand tightly.
"Your Highness, rest assured, I will definitely give you a great gift!"
The King of Wu... harbors wolfish ambitions; this time, I will surely bring him down.
"From now on... he will no longer be a threat to you!" Lord Shangguan said earnestly.
The prince felt his heart pounding.
"My lord..."
Lord Shangguan waved his hand.
"Your Highness, please let me explain in detail..."
