Chapter 553

The shop in the West Market was originally the Empress Zhangsun family's.

Using that shop to secretly transport ironware out of the country, and then letting the fleet receive it from Tianzhu.

Finally, this batch of ironware would be used by Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wuji to develop his private army.

Therefore, from beginning to end, the Great Tang imperial court was unaware.

He thought quite well, but unfortunately, Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wuji did not know that the maritime private army he was cultivating was actually the Great Qin army.

After going through all the trouble to transport the high-quality ironware out, in the end, it was still sent into the hands of the Great Qin army.

I wonder what kind of expression Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wuji will have when he learns the truth?

"Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wuji's shop has already been confiscated, so that line is considered broken.

How much have you found out about Master Bianji's line?"

Speaking of Master Bianji, Yu Yu Huatian seemed somewhat excited.

In that place of Tianzhu, the Tianzhu people had nothing to investigate, as they were controlled tightly by Yue Yun and Wang Wang Xuance.

The intelligence that could be investigated was the personnel planted in Tianzhu by various forces of Great Tang.

Among them, Master Bianji's path was the most conspicuous.

Also because their skin color and habits were very different from the Tianzhu people, they had no way to hide at all.

In fact, the Embroidered Uniform Guard had always been very clear about their movements.

"Replying to Your Majesty, Master Bianji incited another wave of rebellion in Tianzhu and then ran away.

This servant sent people to track them, following them all the way to Yizhou.

In order to put some pressure on them, this servant deliberately leaked some wind, triggering heated discussions among the common people.

I believe they are now Wu Li Ke ants on a hot pan, terrified wherever they go."

Hearing this, Qin Mu laughed.

Yu Yu Huatian looked serious and solemn.

He was exactly the opposite extreme from Wei Wei Zhongxian.

Who knew that he was actually so good at playing games in private!

Yu Yu Huatian continued.

"This servant had just arrived in Yizhou when I encountered a strange thing."

"What strange thing? Could it be that someone under Master Bianji has surrendered?" Qin Mu asked casually.

"Your Majesty is truly god-Wu Li Ke in your predictions!

Following by Master Bianji's side are two heavyweight helpers.

One is the Wang clan head Wang Jing, and the other is the former Prime Minister of Great Tang who lost power, Pei Ji.

It was this Pei Ji who threw a letter into the government office.

This servant sneaked into Pei Ji's room that night and had a talk with him.

Pei Ji is willing to sell out Master Bianji's intelligence, on the condition of exchanging it for Great Qin putting pressure on the four great aristocratic families."

Yu Yu Huatian said it simply.

But Qin Mu could already imagine the thrills within it.

This old man Pei Ji was worthy of being an old fox, playing a good game of "infernal affairs."

Putting pressure on the four great aristocratic families, the Pei family could not be the beneficiary.

This order must have come from the Great Tang imperial court.

Qin Mu quickly sorted out the situation in his heart.

"Great Tang wants to use Great Qin, letting Great Qin hold down the four great aristocratic families.

It seems Li Er wants to take ruthless action against the four great aristocratic families!"

Qin Mu stated his judgment casually.

Wei Wei Zhongxian's heart moved, and he suggested.

"Your Majesty, why not just go along with the plan and eliminate the four great aristocratic families first? In this way, Great Tang will definitely suffer a great loss of vitality!"

Qin Mu, however, shook his head.

"Eliminating the Four Great Clans is not a difficult task; there is no need to rush it."

Yu Yu Huatian seemed to understand something.

He interjected.

"Does Your Majesty mean that you wish to protect the Four Great Clans so they can continue to oppose the Great Tang imperial court?"

To his surprise, Qin Mu shook his head again.

"The Four Great Clans are sinners through the ages; how could I possibly protect them?

What would the common people think if they found out?"

And I am still just a youth.

Caught between a rock and a hard place, Yu Yu Huatian and Wei Wei Zhongxian were completely bewildered.

What exactly did the Emperor want to do?

"Your Majesty, then what should we do?"

Qin Mu knew full well that the Great Tang imperial court was scheming against the Great Qin, wanting to use the Great Qin to put pressure on the clans.

How could he possibly act according to the Great Tang's wishes?

"The Great Tang is delusional to think they can use the Great Qin; unfortunately, their calculations are all wrong!

Li Er wants the Great Qin to apply pressure on the clans so he can reap the benefits.

Then I shall redirect this pressure back onto the Great Tang imperial court!"

Indeed!

This was Qin Mu’s style!

"Your Majesty, how do we redirect this pressure back to the Great Tang?

Point the way, and this servant will go and do it immediately!"

Restless blood flowed through Yu Yu Huatian's veins as well.

Hearing Qin Mu’s words, he became entirely excited.

He was worthy of being the Commander of the Great Qin Embroidered Uniform Guard.

Wei Wei Zhongxian was not about to be left behind.

"Your Majesty, the little brats under my command are most skilled at backstabbing people.

Please give this servant a chance as well!"

Qin Mu nodded.

"Dealing with Bian Ji and his lot does not require much effort.

Yu Yu Huatian, arrange for a group of assassins to kill Wang Jing, but leave the others alive.

Then, expose the fact that Pei Ji betrayed Bian Ji; make sure everyone knows about it..."

Having said this, Yu Yu Huatian already understood what needed to be done.

With Wang Jing removed, Bian Ji would lose his helper.

At that moment, once they learned that it was Pei Ji who had betrayed them,

the clans' fury would surely be directed entirely at Pei Ji, believing that Pei Ji was the one who caused Wang Jing's death.

Consequently, they would shift this anger toward the Great Tang imperial court,

believing that causing Wang Jing's death was a conspiracy by the Great Tang Emperor, Li Er.

By then, no matter how Li Er tried to explain, it would ultimately be pale and powerless.

The conflict between the two sides would surely be on the verge of erupting.

"This servant understands!"

Yu Yu Huatian accepted the task and immediately turned to leave, intending to return to Yizhou.

After Yu Yu Huatian left, Qin Mu gave Wei Wei Zhongxian some instructions.

Just moments ago, Wei Wei Zhongxian had proactively requested to fight.

This kind of covert espionage was also Wei Wei Zhongxian’s specialty.

To have such a capable person and not use him, would that not be a waste?

"Wei Wei Zhongxian, you are in the capital and are subject to many restrictions."
