Chapter 1439: What Do You Think?
....Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“Shh!”
The Grand Chancellor of the Left immediately gestured for him to keep quiet.
After looking around and confirming that no one was paying attention to them, he spoke to the Minister of Rites again.
“Do you want to die? How dare you spout such nonsense? The walls have ears! Be careful! Your family’s heads will be hung on the city wall for that sentence alone!” he reminded him.
Their Emperor was not to be trifled with. He could find reasons to kill the ministers if things went wrong.
But he could not do anything to someone like Prince Zhan Yun. Otherwise, he would have killed Prince Zhan Yun long ago.
People like them were expendable in the Emperor’s eyes. To put it bluntly, their deaths would be inconsequential.
However, it was precisely because they were expendable that they could occasionally do favors for the Emperor and continue to survive. If they were more astute and could help the Emperor accomplish his goals, wouldn’t the Emperor be just as afraid of them as he was of Prince Zhan Yun?
The Minister of Rites was also frightened by the reminder. He looked around too before muttering even more softly, “I’m just saying.”
“We have no right to speak. We can only watch certain individuals show their faces in front of the Emperor.” The Grand Chancellor of the Left looked up and gazed ahead.
The Grand Chancellor of the Right was walking in front of them with a few other ministers, discussing how to capture the Third Prince and people from the Prince Zhan Yun Residence as soon as possible.
“What’s the point of showing their faces?”
Although the Minister of Rites was timid, he was not stupid.
What good would it do to show their faces? The Emperor was getting old, and he was becoming increasingly cruel and heartless.
How long could an emperor like him sit on the dragon throne? One year, two years, or 10 years?
He thought it was impossible.
It might have been possible if he had not accused the Third Prince of fratricide.
However, it was too late now. The Emperor had yet to obtain the Third Prince’s Shubei Army. Although the east was in chaos, it was still controlled by Prince Zhan Yun’s people.
As for the southern border…
“Brother Zhou, do you really think Prince De has taken control of the southern border?” He asked the question that had been lingering in his mind.
Upon hearing the Minister of Rites’ question, Grand Chancellor Zhou raised his eyebrows and remained silent.
Although Prince De was a little shrewd, he was still too inexperienced compared to Prince Zhan Yun. He could not even compare to the Third Prince. If one said he had taken control the southern border…
“Hehe! What do you think?”
“The 18 Stockaded Villages are Prince An Yang’s subordinates. How can they be so easily controlled by outsiders?” The Minister of Rites shook his head and continued speaking softly.
If it were that easy to control them, Prince Zhan Yun would have taken over the 18 Stockaded Villages long ago. Why would he wait until now?
Moreover, he believed Prince De was not competent enough.
“His Majesty is too anxious.” He shook his head again.
Grand Chancellor Zhou sighed too.
This was something they could clearly see, and he believed others had some inkling of it too.
For instance, did the Grand Chancellor of the Right really have no idea? He was just willing to say and do whatever it took to flatter the old Emperor.
“Let’s not say anything more.”
