The government was sending out wives, and I ended up with a princess from the previous dynasty!

"It was Fifth Brother who did this!"

Wu Ce was extremely excited!

"Moreover, this time the Kushan Empire's invasion southward is probably inseparable from that bastard, the Fifth Prince! That beast!"

As he spoke, Wu Ce handed a letter to Jia Daoshi.

This shows that Wu Ce already trusts Jia Daoshi completely!

Jia Daoshi reached out and took the letter from Wu Ce. After reading it carefully, his expression became very serious.

If it was Wu Quan, the fifth prince, who colluded with the Kushan Empire, then the previous rebellion of the Qing Turban Army was most likely also orchestrated by this guy!

But one thing is strange: after he wiped out the Green Turban Army, he interrogated many of its high-ranking members.

Even when Xiao Rongyu found the survivors of the Wolf Village from back then, he still couldn't follow the clues to find Wu Quan, the mastermind behind it all!

Then why were Wu Ce's people, who were thousands of miles away, able to find evidence of Wu Quan's treason?

"That fifth prince is utterly despicable! He actually dares to try and use the power of an enemy country to seize the throne!"

"To leave hundreds of thousands of people in our Great Jing Northwest Cliff City in danger is simply worse than a beast!"

Wu Ce shouted angrily from the side.

Jia Daoshi calmly returned the letter to Wu Ce and asked with a composed expression, "Your Highness, what do you plan to do?"

This is a power struggle among the princes, a nine-prince contest for the throne. To be honest, Jia Daoshi was too lazy to bother with these trivial matters.

"I want to expose the Fifth Prince to the imperial court! We can't let him make another mistake!" Wu Ce said after a moment of silence.

Jia Daoshi thought for a moment, then said, "Your Highness, exposing the Fifth Prince's actions to the court will indeed have some impact on him. However, the evidence we have now is too little to convict him."

"After all, whether to convict a prince depends on His Majesty's decision."

“If His Majesty says that the Fifth Prince has committed treason, then that is true treason! If His Majesty says that the Fifth Prince is innocent, then the letter in the First Prince’s hand is just a piece of waste paper.”

Upon hearing this, Wu Ce frowned deeply: "If His Majesty knew that the Fifth Prince was colluding with the Kushan barbarians, what would she do?"

Hearing Wu Ce ask this question, Jia Daoshi was taken aback again.

He's not a worm in the Empress's stomach, how would he know?

Seemingly thinking that Jia Daoshi had some reservations, Wu Ce thought for a moment and said, "Chief Jia, it's alright, just say what you want to say!"

Seeing that Wu Ce had said this, Jia Daoshi thought for a moment and said, "Your Highness, in my opinion, His Majesty will definitely be angry, but he won't take action against the Fifth Prince immediately. It seems that the Fifth Prince's mother belongs to a very powerful martial arts family in the capital. At this time, the Kushan barbarians' 500,000 iron cavalry are about to march south. If they were to attack the prince at this time, the situation in the court would become unstable, which would not be a good thing for the Great Jing."

Upon hearing this, Wu Ce pondered for a moment and said, "Jia Tisi is right. If I were to reveal the Fifth Prince's matter at this time, it would put His Majesty in a dilemma, and the entire Great Jing would be thrown into turmoil!"

"But if we just let it go like this, wouldn't that be letting the fifth brother get off easy!"

Wu Ce was both angry and helpless.

"Jatis, why don't you make a move?"

Wu Ce could never swallow this anger!

Jia Daoshi nodded: "I can arrange for someone to take action against the Fifth Prince, but it can't be someone from the Imperial City Guard. Even if the assassination fails, we must make this guy afraid!"

Jia Daoshi had no good feelings towards Wu Quan either. Regardless of whether he was the mastermind behind the Green Turban Army, the fact that he colluded with the Kushan barbarian cavalry was enough for Jia Daoshi to kill him on the spot!

If it weren't for the 500,000 Kushan cavalrymen marching south, he could already be back at his manor, living a carefree and leisurely life!

Why bother being exposed to the wind and sun in this remote, cliffside city in Northwest China?

Although he was living a pretty comfortable life here.

But this is nothing compared to Yilan County!

However, assassinations need to be carried out in secret, so we can't let the Imperial City Guard do it. We have to do it with our own people!

Fortunately, Hong Baoqiang and Chen Long are free, so we can leave this matter to them.

Jia Daoshi didn't expect to succeed in the assassination; he just wanted to make the other party feel scared!

Wu Quan is, after all, a prince, and his mother's family is a powerful force in the martial arts world. How could he be so easy to kill?

Jia Daoshi knew that making this decision was somewhat risky and might alert the enemy.

But if he didn't do that, he, like Wu Ce, wouldn't be able to swallow this insult!

Just then, Shen Li suddenly said, "Actually, even if we can't expose Wu Quan's treason in court, there are other ways to let His Majesty know."

"If His Majesty finds out, he will definitely order an investigation. Once the evidence is solid, even if His Majesty doesn't deal with the Fifth Prince now, he will take action against him after the war ends."

The current Empress was already very averse to the struggle for the throne among the nine princes. If one of the princes were to secretly collude with the Kushan barbarians and allow their 500,000-strong army to march south, it would undoubtedly be a violation of the Empress's red line!

Moreover, Ji Wuxin originally disliked these Jianghu forces very much, and his previous voyage to the sea was to eliminate them.

Now that the Fifth Prince Wu Quan has done this, it's as if he's walked right into Ji Wuxin's line of fire!

None of the nine princes were her biological children, so what difference would it make if she killed a few of them?

Upon hearing Shen Li's suggestion, Wu Ce nodded and then said, "Then this prince will go and write a memorial right away!"

Upon hearing that Wu Ce was going to write a memorial, Shen Li immediately stopped him, saying, "Your Highness, you must not write a memorial!"

Wu Ce was dumbfounded: "Your Highness, how can I report to His Majesty if I don't write a memorial?"

Shen Li was now somewhat exasperated with the straightforward Crown Prince, and could only patiently explain, "Crown Prince, if you were to write a memorial, that would be a matter of great importance to the court. Before the memorial even reaches His Majesty, others might find out what's written inside. The Crown Prince should send it to the capital in the form of a letter, such as a family letter. Only in this way can it reach His Majesty directly!"

All memorials sent from the provinces to the capital during the Great Jing Dynasty required review by special officials; some memorials never even reached His Majesty's hands!

If Wu Ce were to write in his memorial that Wu Quan had colluded with the enemy and betrayed the country, there was a high probability that he would be intercepted by a scheming official halfway through the journey!

But family letters are different. Family letters written in the name of a prince can be delivered directly to Ji Wuxin.

After hearing Shen Li's words, Wu Ce was taken aback.

Letter home?

He has never written anything like this since he came to Cliff City!

Moreover, although Ji Wuxin ascended the throne in the name of his mother, he was only one year older than him!

What kind of mother-child bond is there in this?

What kind of letters can I write home?
