649 Making A Mistake (1/2)

After Fan Wujiu heard He Zongwei's icy words, he slowly lowered his head and did not have any obvious reaction He was silent for a while He then said in a low voice, ”Before you report to the Eht, it's late You should go rest,” He Zongwei said casually and waved his hand He then picked up the file on his table again

Fan Wujiu glanced at He Zongwei A darkness flashed through his eyes He bowed and left After he walked out of the study, He Zongwei immediately put down the file in his hands and looked silently toward the door, deep in thought

Initially, he orried about having one of the Second Prince's trusted eight generals take his side After all, dou knew about Fan Wujiu's identity If this was discovered and spread into the Palace, who knehat the Emperor would think

The Second Prince had been a wei to take in one of his old subordinates was slightly risky

However, he quickly came to a decision After all, Fan Wujiu had his own skills Although the eight generals, whose nahu, were not much in front of the Overwatch Council, they were incredible figures The Second Prince had been engaged with the court for a long time, so the trusted aides at his side were all the most talented

Other than Fan Wujiu's personal abilities, there were two ioal was the same as his They both wanted to defeat Fan Xian Second, he still controlled some of the resources the Second Prince had left behind

Three years ago, the Second Prince had failed and died His supporters in the court had long been swept clean by the Emperor and Fan Xian However, there were still some officials hidden in the lower levels of the court ere secretly biding their tie their master or to find a new wei needed these people, and they needed Scholar He in the court However, He Zongwei could not personally recruit these powers and had to go through Fan Wujiu Thus, he could appear clean in front of the E a lonely steel rope with an endless drop into the abyss on either side It was dangerous

Not long after Fan Wujiu left the study, the cousin of the He clan, who had left earlier, returned The two looked at each other Each saw the eently and said, ”When you're investigating the whereabouts of wang Qinian and Gao Da, don't make use of the people the Second Prince left behind”

His cousin bowed respectfully and replied, ”I understand When you and Sir Fan Wujiu spoke earlier, I understood”

He Zongwei nodded his head approvingly and said, ”There are sos that are inconvenient for his that were inconvenient for Fan Wujiu to know about Earlier, Fan Wujiu and He Zongwei discussed that the best way to topple Fan Xian would be to start fro Qinian and Gao Da Only relying on He Zongwei's power and the remnants of the Second Prince's power, it would be ih the Overwatch Council's layers of black fog to find a true clue Thus, Fan Wujiu suggested that He Zongwei should directly meet with the Emperor and use the Emperor's suspicions to have the internal court take action

The problewei had a branch of power in his hand that the Eranted hiping absolutely, greatly favored Fan Xian, and the Overwatch Council was truly very powerful If they were only balanced externally, a ruler would certainly not feel at ease That is why there was a Ministry of Internal Affairs set up Furthermore, the Palace planted a nuping and Fan Xian were probably both very aware of it, but they didn't bring it to light with the Eainst it secretly

Since the Iainst the Overwatch Council, the spies the internal court or the Ministry of Internal Affairs had placed in the past were, three years later, slowly transferred by Eunuch Yao to He Zongwei's control This power darker than the night was wei hummed for a ate If the Overwatch Council still has contact ang Qinian, there will certainly be traces But, don't let the”

”What if the E and asks questions?”

”The Ewei said with his head down ”We'll report to the Es and have the Ewei held an important matter in his hands that could provoke the relationshi+p between the Emperor and Fan Xian, he would not report it quietly and secretly to the Eive him and Fan Xian the chance to discuss it in private Instead, he would do his best blow thehidden in his words and didn't say htforwardly, he said, ”I won't disappoint you”

The study once again recovered its silence He Zongwei sat behind the table and couldn't help but shake his head He didn't have a pageboy but always had a few advisory figures However, those advisors were strictly forbidden froarden Other than his confidants, no one came near the study

He knew that if he could truly trust Fan Wujiu, then this matter would proceed much more easily However, he was unable to completely trust Fan Wujiu, particularly as he appeared as a strategist in front of hiwei had always held a great suspicion Many years ago, heLin Ruofu However, he knew that the fall of the previous Prime Minister had little to do with him It was the Emperor's desire The person who had truly executed it and struck the Priist in his dao

Back then, He Zongwei had brought Wu Bo'an's wife and lived in the oldthe Eldest Princess's order, he made contact with the Pridao

He knehat a treacherous attack strategist Yuan Hongdao had coo had astounded hidao had been part of the Overwatch Council

There was an icy chill in He Zongwei's heart He was scared of the Overwatch Council's power Although he controlled some people within the Council, the more he learned about the Council, the ardener in his manor was a spy fro maid was a killer of the Sixth Bureau He was afraid that the food he ate every day contained a sloorking poison from the Third Bureau

He was scared He wondered if even Fan Wujiu, who the Second Prince behind, was a man of the Overwatch Council Would he stab a knife ruthlessly toward his body in the future?

He wanted to defeat Fan Xian, which hy he was more terrified that Fan Xian would defeat him It had already been many years He ell-respected in court After he returned to the ed in an uneasy and unhealthy mood He always felt that every person he saw in the manor could be someone the Overwatch Council sent

Thus, there were not irls in the He manor He used very few people If he had no choice but to use so out a clan brother from his hometown Unexpectedly, this seized for hi honest andto be driven to o mad He had to obtain the final victory He was already at the edge of darkness and had found that hidden but eye-piercing sliver of dawn

He pushed open the door and stood alone in the corridor His face was slightly pale, and his heart was unusually heavy Occasionally, he thought of that woman and traces of pain would appear in his eyes

No one knehat torh No one knew that he was a man close to madness A few days after the banquet at the Sun manor, all the civil and martial officials in court, and even sos, all knew that Scholar He had thoroughly lost this battle
