Chapter 334 Isn't His Majesty afraid that his achievements will overshadow the Emperor? (Please subscribe and vote with monthly tickets)

Lin Mo was an important official in the Ministry of Works, which was responsible for construction, with the capital city being of paramount importance.

For example, better real estate, building materials, food supply chains, etc., all fall within the Ministry of Industry's jurisdiction.

If Jiang Rong and Li Sining want to open so many shops in a short period of time, they will most likely need the help of the Ministry of Works, which means they need to establish connections.

If Lin Mo were to investigate carefully, he could indeed find some lists.

Upon hearing this, Wei Manying's eyes lit up, and she suddenly stopped in her tracks.

Her body, fuller than most women her age, leaned slightly forward, the cleavage of her chest faintly visible beneath her low-cut dress. She said, "You mean, we can use this opportunity to make connections with the palace? But the question is, how?"

Lin Mo smiled slightly and calmly took over the conversation, saying, "To achieve this, you can't be too deliberate. With your connections in Shanghe City, you can open a branch in the south, which is to say, a franchise."

This statement alone is enough to show that Lin Mo is very clever. After all, businessmen don't get up early for nothing. As long as it's for making money by joining the franchise, the other party won't suspect the purpose of the visitor.

Wei Manying runs the Wei family business in Shanghe City. It is a business family, although it is just a cover, but they do have a certain amount of business.

After making up her mind, her anger vanished, and she felt much better now.

Wei Manying was also slowly making plans, but she didn't tell Lin Mo many things.

Since the Dragon Emperor's tomb has been excavated, according to reliable sources, the Dragon Emperor is most likely unable to be resurrected.

Then Wei Manying and other high-ranking officials who were remnants of the previous dynasty discussed their next steps.

They gradually realized the importance of a certain person, and that person was Li Chen.

The Tian Ce Dynasty was originally in a mess due to the remnants of the previous dynasty. It was surrounded by powerful enemies, with regional princes carving up the country, princes vying for power, court officials fighting among factions, and powerful families harboring evil intentions. It was in utter chaos.

The Yuan family of the previous dynasty planned to wait for the Tian Ce Dynasty to completely break out into internal strife, infiltrate it, and support their own people to take the throne.

At first, they succeeded, murdering the crown prince and the late emperor.

But ever since Li Chen came to power, he has gradually resolved these chaotic situations. These remnants of the previous dynasty, who used to be able to move around normally in the capital, are now like rats crossing the street.

Therefore, Wei Manying and other remnants of the previous dynasty decided that they had to get rid of Li Chen.

Once Li Chen dies, the Second Prince and the Third Prince will make a comeback, and the Tian Ce Dynasty will continue to be in chaos.

There was nothing they could do; the second and third brothers were simply no match for Li Chen.

There is another crucial task here, namely the fourth brother, Li Ji. Li Ji has already returned to the capital and made many military achievements. Recently, he has been accompanying the Prince of Zhennan on an expedition.

If Li Chen dies, Li Ji will probably take the opportunity to go up there.

There was nothing they could do; Li Xian and Li Yu had been largely deposed by the emperor, yet they were still managing to survive by clinging to their old ways.

Wei Manying is skilled at using her beauty to bewitch people. She can make appropriate contact with Li Ji and try to control him.

This time, the remnants of the previous dynasty have taken every possible tactic into account.

What we need to do now is find a way to kill Li Chen; perhaps this is an opportunity.

Have you ever met Li Ji, the Prince of Anxi?

Wei Manying suddenly asked, leaning closer to Lin Mo, the fragrance of her hair wafting towards him.

"Li Ji? I've had dinner with him a few times, he's a nice guy. Xiao Ming knows him too, what's wrong?"

Lin Mo acted quite naturally, like someone who wasn't interested in beautiful women, pretending not to see or smell anything.

This kid is shrewd. If he acts as attentive as Xiao Ming, Wei Manying will deliberately keep her distance. Only if he acts aloof will Wei Manying get closer and give him some sweetness.

"It's nothing, it's just that his reputation has been quite good lately. Isn't Your Majesty afraid that his achievements will overshadow the emperor?"

"You have no chance of sowing discord on this point. Li Ji has no ambition and is just asking the emperor for some jobs. Whether it's the western expedition or this time accompanying the Prince of Zhennan, he's just coasting along." Lin Mo knew all this from his colleagues' conversations, even without deliberately inquiring.

To become an official in the imperial court, one must be able to read the winds of change.

Hearing him say that, Wei Manying felt that Li Ji was a good pawn.

She definitely can't control the second and third princes. As long as Li Ji takes the throne, he will definitely support his own faction in order to stabilize the court. Then Lin Mo and Xiao Ming will definitely be promoted.

As long as these people are under my control, it's only a matter of time before I overthrow the Tian Ce Dynasty.

Lin Mo looked at Wei Manying and said, "I know what you're thinking, but Li Ji listens to the emperor a lot. Whenever there's trouble, he'll go to the emperor. It's not a good thing to approach him rashly."

He guessed that Wei Manying wanted to contact Li Ji, but he didn't guess that Wei Manying wanted to murder the emperor.

After the Dragon Emperor incident, Wei Manying no longer dared to speak out about everything.

"Don't worry, I won't go myself."

Among the remnants of the previous dynasty, there were many beautiful women.

With three pieces already under her control, Wei Manying, a master of time management, didn't have much time to deal with Li Chen and Li Ji.

We definitely need to send someone else, especially Li Chen.

I heard that Li Chen likes beautiful women. As long as we get in touch with the hot pot restaurant, we can arrange for a beautiful woman to go in.

She would use the same methods she used against the late emperor against Li Chen; she refused to believe Li Chen wouldn't die.

Those who are beautiful have gathered from all directions.

This time, Wei Manying is going to take control of the entire dynasty!
The idea is good, but there are still 'tasks' to be done.

I had dinner with Fang Qian the day before yesterday, and with Xiao Ming yesterday. Today it's definitely Lin Mo's turn.

As the saying goes, everyone should be treated equally. Even if Lin Mo knows more about her background, she should maintain an ambiguous relationship with him so that he will focus on her and work wholeheartedly.

Despite Lin Mo's intelligence, he was completely outmaneuvered by Wei Manying when it came to dealing with women.

In his eyes, Wei Manying trusted him the most, while the other two were just pawns.

Little did he know that he himself was also a pawn, albeit a rather important one.

At the same time, Li Chen had already arrived at the Ministry of Personnel.

Since he had said he would handle it personally, he naturally wouldn't go back on his word.

The conflict between the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Justice was caused by young, capable officials. He wanted to see what these two young men were really capable of.

"Do you need to register or verify?"

Fang Qian was engrossed in processing official documents when he heard footsteps and asked without looking up.

When he looked up and saw who it was, the calligraphy brush in his hand fell to the table with a "thud," splashing ink all over him.

"Your humble servant Fang Qian greets Your Majesty!"

He hurriedly knelt down to pay his respects, his voice trembling slightly.

Upon hearing the word "Your Majesty," the surrounding colleagues immediately knelt down, and the entire Ministry of Personnel office area fell silent.

Li Chen looked at Fang Qian kneeling on the ground and was slightly taken aback: "So it was you."

He recognized him; wasn't this the sword cultivator who had nearly lost his life at the sword competition?
I saved him on a whim back then, and I never expected that he would become an official in the Ministry of Personnel.
