"Royal Tomb? What can happen? " Ye Fan asked curiously.
Tu Yue replied in a low voice, "Last night, the head of the Grand Examination Institution, Kong Zhuo, led a few old officials from the commoner division to barge into the Royal Tomb.
He wanted to find Su Juxin and Su Qian because he had something huge to tell the Emperor.
[I sent some trusted aides of the Tu Family to stop Kong Zhuo, but …]
The two mannequins that were left in the Royal Tomb had disappeared without a trace!
Someone must have killed two of my shadow guards and stolen the two dummy's!
For the matters of the royal family, it is already unavoidable for them to be exposed … "
Ye Fan frowned, "Where is Kong Zhuo now?" What movement do they have? "
"Kong Zhuo has already returned to his residence. He seems to be discussing some matters with a few high-ranking officials of the imperial court."
Kong Zhuo was, after all, the Heavenly King. It would be difficult for him to pry into Kong Zhuo's secrets.
Based on the current information, Kong Zhuo should have grasped some crucial information.
"Otherwise, based on his character, he would not have suddenly gathered his comrades from the imperial court or the government" said Tu Yue.
"I got it …" "You keep an eye out for any new movements. As for the rest, I'll go talk to him." Ye Fan said.
Tu Yue said nervously, "Sir God of Swords, that fake person … Aren't you going to search? "
"There's no need to be so conflicted over what we need to expose sooner or later. We can just let whoever steals it...
I really want to see, who would want to stand out and take revenge for the Su Family … " Ye Fan said indifferently.
Tu Yue heaved a sigh of relief. "I had thought that His Excellency God of Swords would be angered by thunder, looks like … You have already planned everything ".
"Stop flattering me, and don't think that not being able to protect the Royal Tomb this time is okay."
Previously, my sister was captured, but now that the secret of the Royal Tomb has been broken, it means that Lord Tu has also loosened up.
I hope. "My trust for Lord Tu is not only bringing more disappointment," Ye Fan said in a deep voice.
Tu Yue remained silent for a moment before he said: "Since I know, I will not disappoint you, Sir God of Swords!"
After hanging up the phone, Ye Fan informed Su Qingxue and then headed for the Kong Zhuo Manor.
Within Kong Zhuo's study.
"Prime Minister!" What was going on? Why is it that when we barge into the Royal Tomb, the Emperor has no reaction? "
"That's right, it's really too strange. The Grand Emperor values Prime Minister very much. You have urgent matters to attend to, so you shouldn't just ignore them."
"The crown prince, Su Yun, and the princess Wei Yang have met with mishap. Ye Fan of the Northern Marquis Residence is such a huge suspect, yet he is unable to inform His Majesty about this matter. What should we do?"
Several disciples and officials of Kong Zhuo were discussing among themselves.
Kong Zhuo waved his hand, "Everyone, this old man is no longer the Prime Minister. This time, I've called you all here just to deal with the chaos and maintain the stability of the battle."
Even though we didn't see His Majesty last night, we could pretty much be certain that Tu Yue had betrayed us!
I am prepared to directly report this matter to the Su Clan's elder and let the Su Clan handle it.
Although we are just commoners, we are responsible for the rise and fall of this world.
Once the chosen one and the clan started fighting, we civilians would be the ones who would be the most injured.
"Therefore, this old man still hopes that all of you sirs will help each other with this matter. We must not let that Ye …"
Before he could finish his words, a servant rushed in from outside the study.
"Master! "Old master!" The servant pushed open the door and entered.
"What's the matter?" Kong Zhuo frowned in dissatisfaction.
"Residence of Northern Marquis, Prince Ye requests an audience!" the servant said.
"What!?"
Kong Zhuo and a few other officials were astonished.
"This Ye Fan, he actually came looking for us?"
"It must be Tu Yue who told him what happened last night. It really is the same hill full of small marten!"
"Teacher, let's take a look and see what this unruly subject wants to do!"
"A junior actually dared to be so arrogant, let him in!"
The group of officials all revealed looks of disdain and indignation.
Kong Zhuo's face darkened. After frowning for a moment, he said, "Everyone, please go back for today. I'll talk to everyone in detail after I've seen Prince Consort Ye!"
"Teacher, you can't!" At this time, that Ye Fan came over, it was definitely something strange! "
"Indeed, if that person were to be so ruthless, there's no doubt that he might be up to no good!"
Kong Zhuo laughed, "This old man is still a Heavenly King Stage disciple, and Ye Fan, a student of the Xuanyuan Academy, is at most at the Spirit Creation Stage."
Even if it's said that he has the bloodline of a five clawed golden dragon, he won't be this old man's match … "Everyone, don't worry."
When the officials heard this, they felt the same. Although they were worried, they could only leave first.
Ye Fan waited in the living room for a while, and when he saw a group of officials walk out, they all looked at him with unkind and vigilant eyes, so he didn't mind.
After all the officials had left, Ye Fan finally arrived at the study room.
"Prince Consort Ye, why have you suddenly come today?" Kong Zhuo said with a dignified look on his face.
"Dean Kong, I've heard about you for a long time. This is our first time meeting, but I believe you are already very familiar with me. You should have mentioned me just now." Ye Fan said with a faint smile.
Kong Zhuo sneered, "Since Prince Consort Ye has come straight to the point, this old man will not hide anything."
"That's right. Although I have already withdrawn from the imperial government, I cannot sit idly by and do nothing for the common people of this world!"
Ye Fan nodded and asked, "Principal Kong, I didn't know you before, but I have heard some stories about you. I also know that you were once the Prime Minister who served the country and the people."
I want to ask you a question, and I want you to answer it truthfully. "
"Prince Consort, please speak." Kong Zhuo Lang spoke.
"Suppose there are two officials. Although one is greedy for money and sex, and has a violent temperament, his ability is outstanding. In the overall situation, he can always do some things that benefit the nation and the people.
On the other hand, although the other person was clean, honest, and gentle, he was always timid when it came to things. He had an empty mind and ambition, but he couldn't accomplish anything, nor could he solve the suffering of the world.
"Principal Kong, do you think that the first official or the second one is better?"
Kong Zhuo frowned and pondered for a while before saying, "Although the first type of official would be criticized by the people, and even hated by some people.
But to the nation, rather than an official who is praised by others but is unable to do anything, it would be better to have a capable person who benefits the people but does not have a good reputation. "
"There's bound to be gains and losses, no one is perfect, right?" Ye Fan asked with a smile.
Kong Zhuo was stunned for a moment before sighing, "I already knew that Prince Consort Ye was a poet and his writing shocked the world. His words are indeed extraordinary.
"That's right, 'one gains and one loses'. It is precisely this principle, how can anyone be satisfied with it?"
"Since that's the case, why don't you calm down, Dean Kong? In a few days, for certain things, certain people …" "What about the verdict?" Ye Fan asked.
Kong Zhuo laughed, "This old man knew that Prince Consort Ye wanted to convince me in such a way.
But, Prince Consort Ye, what right do you have to think that you have the right to make me spend my time waiting for what you call 'doing good things for the country and its citizens'?
It's true that you are a genius of the Divine Dragon Family, but you are also the Consort Prince! An official!
Don't you have the heart to go back on what you've done!? "
