When Duan Yunfei heard the news that Duan Changge was unable to hide the joy in his heart, his eyes shone brightly.
"Are you that happy?" Duan Changge had guessed that Duan Yunfei would definitely be happy from her successful revenge, but seeing Duan Yunfei's expression, she was obviously ecstatic.
"Of course, I'm afraid Fifth Emperor would never think that we would find him so easily, and send his subordinates to jail so easily."
Duan Changge laughed in disdain, "Fifth Emperor thinks that his plan is flawless, how can he possibly think that there would be a chance of success? Yet now, not only has our scheme failed, we have also lost a chess piece.
Actually, the officer who was sent into the prison by Duan Changge was only a local official, he could not be considered as the Fifth Prince's right-hand man, much less as the "general" in the hands of the Fifth Prince.
However, because he was a local official, the Fifth Prince was even more assured that Yuwen Di would not think that he was forming a clique here, this was something that Yuwen Di deeply detested. If Yuwen Di knew that so many officials in the imperial court were people of the Fifth Prince, not only would he not be able to become the Fifth Prince's power to fight for the position of Crown Prince, he would even attract Yuwen Di's disgust.
Currently, the officials in the imperial court could be split into four factions, one was like Prince Mu, the other was like him, who wholeheartedly worked for the benefit of the people of Jin Country, completely obedient to Yuwen Di, loyal and loyal.
One was an official supporting the Fifth Prince, led by the Empress's external family, the Mu Rong family, and the other was an official supporting the Eighth Prince's struggle for power, led by the father, Doctor Yu Shi of Imperial Consort Yun, Shen Zhihang. Whether it was the current Fifth Prince who had the most hope, the Eighth Prince that Yuwen Di liked the most, or the Seventh Prince who was extremely powerful but did not have any help, these officials all held the same attitude.
Yuwen Di was actually very clear about it in his heart, and was very clear about the situation in the imperial court. After all, he came here like this, but Yuwen Di was not willing to see his brothers fight.
After all these years, the main reason why Yuwen Di had yet to become the ruler of the sect was because the age of this Several princes was not high enough. If he handed over such a heavy burden to them, and did not do anything good enough, the foundation of the Jin Country would probably be affected.
Furthermore, although the Jin Country is the most powerful out of the few nations now, the surrounding nations have always been eyeing them covetously. Take the Xiliang for example, when the Xiliang was defeated and sent to the Jin Country to become the proton, the citizens of the Xiliang were all talking about it, and this matter had become a thorn in the hearts of the people of the Xiliang, they would definitely take revenge on this grudge.
In recent years, the Golden Horde Kingdom had also continuously harassed the people at the borders of the Jin Country. In addition to the severe water sickness in Jiangnan, the negligence of the officials below, corruption and various other problems, although the Jin Country looked harmonious on the surface, it was actually riddled with thousands of holes.
In such a difficult situation, it was even more impossible for Yuwen Di to casually entrust the future of the Jin Country to any of the princes. Yuwen Di hoped that in the next few years, he would be able to make the Jin Country even more powerful, so strong that after he was buried for a hundred years, he would not have to worry about the future of the Jin Country.
"Imperial brother, Yun Fei has a question. I don't know if I should ask it or not."
"What's there to hide from royal brother? Just say it." Duan Changge really wanted to know what kind of question Duan Yunfei wanted to ask, but unfortunately, this royal sister of his was not a man. She didn't want Duan Changge to give his all to help her sit on the throne.
"Royal brother has been away from the court for many years. Although he has the help of outsiders, it would not be easy to imprison his people under the eyes of the Fifth Emperor."
This was something that Duan Changge had intentionally not mentioned, but in the end, Duan Yunfei had still noticed that something was amiss.
"Yunfei, Yunfei, it's a pity that you're not going to be a strategist." Duan Changge was not stingy on his praises towards Duan Yunfei, this was his heartfelt regret.
"Royal brother, don't joke around with Yun Fei. Yun Fei is very curious, or else he wouldn't dare to ask."
Ever since the death of the Imperial Consort Shu, Duan Changge had lost interest in the throne. From then on, he did not even ask about the imperial government, and only focused on traveling around. This was also why Duan Yunfei was so curious. No matter how he thought about it, Duan Changge should not have such a power in the imperial court.
"Yun Fei, have you ever heard of Su Yi?"
Duan Yunfei had indeed heard Mu Chuyang mention this name before. She had heard that Su Yi was able to write a poem at the age of seven, and had even traveled to different countries to learn from many people, becoming proficient in strategy. It was a pity that this person was proud of his talent, and was not willing to come into contact with strong powers. Duan Yunfei had heard of the many times when the Eighth Prince sent people to Su Yi's residence, but they were all rejected outside the door.
When he thought about how Mu Chuyan had told him all of this, Duan Yunfei felt a bit sad. She really didn't know how to explain to Mu Chuyang her current relationship with him.
"Yun Fei has indeed heard of this name, but I know very little about Su Yi. I wonder why royal brother mentioned him?"
"Su Yi is currently working under the Fifth Emperor, and is their advisor."
Duan Changge's casual words caused the doubts in his heart to grow even more.
"But Yun Fei heard that Su Yi had always been a person who didn't want to be associated with the struggle for power. The eighth brother had always wanted to take Su Yi as his subordinate, but he had always suffered setbacks. How did the Fifth Emperor get such a talent?"
What Duan Yunfei did not know was that although Su Yi seemed to be a person of the Fifth Prince, he was actually a person who had a very strong will and will.
"Yun Fei, Su Yi is one of my people."
Duan Yunfei was truly shocked, she never thought that Su Yi was actually someone that Duan Changge had inserted into the Fifth Prince's side.
"Back then, when I was travelling outside, I coincidentally had a chance to save Su Yi's life. After he found out who I was, he wanted to repay me for saving his life and expressed his willingness to help me take the world. But since I'm not interested in the throne, I can only give up. But when the Fifth Emperor pressed me down, and added to the fact that he wanted Su Yi to become his strategist during that period of time, Su Yi set up such a trap, in order to inform me of the scheme the Fifth Prince had used towards me in the future. "
"So that's how it is. Seems like it was Mr. Su Yi who leaked the news this time, no wonder this matter was so easy."
