The Crown Prince’s argument carried weight.

“Even if we can’t entirely eliminate Su Bin, we cannot allow him to remain a government official in the capital.”

“You’re well aware that Father intends for him to assume control of the Court of Judicial Review.”

“If Su Bin were to become a minister in the Court of Judicial Review, he’d have convenient access to various pieces of evidence.”

The Crown Prince was alluding to the Public House’s activities.

It was Mr. Lin’s insightful input that enabled him to present his case so persuasively.

Initially, the Public House hesitated. “Su Bin is undoubtedly a skilled individual, and Qin Zhenzhen is a shrewd business mind. Wouldn’t it be advantageous if we could bring them into our fold?”

The Crown Prince shook his head firmly. “They can no longer be swayed to our side.”

He had made attempts, even humbling himself, to entice Su Bin to join their cause on two separate occasions, yet Su Bin had rebuffed him.

The Crown Prince’s grandfather privately reminded him, “Su Bin’s resistance to joining us is largely due to your actions.”

The Crown Prince didn’t appear pleased. “I’m well aware it’s because of me.”

“I acknowledge my affection for Qin Zhenzhen, and I once schemed against Su Bin.

But if he sought to sway Su Bin and extract assurances that he wouldn’t plot against him or pursue his wife in the future in Su Bin’s presence,

He couldn’t bring himself to do it!

He was the Crown Prince, the prospective emperor. How could he lower himself to the status of a minor minister?

Even if it were an act, he couldn’t bring himself to do it!

The Public House, unable to compel the Crown Prince, acquiesced to his proposal.

In truth, Su Bin posed a significant threat. If he continued to enjoy the emperor’s favor and remained loyal to the emperor, he would be a formidable obstacle to the Public House. Hence, the notion of relocating him to a distant location for temperament development, with the promise of bringing him back once the Crown Prince ascended the throne, seemed prudent.

Nonetheless, they harbored reservations. “Su Bin was promoted by the emperor, and it was because he was in opposition to us at the time.”

When Su Bin’s advancement occurred, the emperor knew he had been intentionally stifled by the Crown Prince. Despite this, the emperor, ranking him tenth, designated Su Bin as the Primus.

On one hand, Su Bin indeed displayed remarkable talent. On the other hand, the emperor’s decision served as a reminder that he was the ultimate authority, emphasizing his supreme position.

The emperor shouldn’t learn that suppressing Su Bin was a private act by the Crown Prince, executed without the Public House’s knowledge.

Therefore, the Public House refrained from supporting the Crown Prince.

They were reluctant to engage in disputes with the emperor over such trivial matters.

However, they were unwilling to permit Su Bin to assume control of the Court of Judicial Review. Nevertheless, they opted to postpone action for the time being, as it wasn’t yet the appropriate moment for such a move.

If they wanted to reassign Su Bin prematurely, they needed a valid justification.

The Crown Prince asserted, “There’s a preexisting reason.”

He recounted the street conversations that had reached the capital.

His countenance darkened. “Given their apparent affection, let’s indulge his wishes and proceed with the transferto his hometown to be the governor of Shanglin Prefecture.”

Shanglin Prefecture, situated adjacent to Meicheng City, was a city enveloped by mountains from head to toe. Despite sharing a southern location with Meicheng City, it was far more remote and economically disadvantaged.

While it was a sizable expanse of land, the population barely exceeded half that of Meicheng City. This discrepancy could be attributed to Shanglin Prefecture’s proximity to extensive, treacherous mountain ranges.

Deep within these mountains, bandits roamed, and their presence significantly impacted the local residents. Many chose to relocate elsewhere, fleeing the region.

Rumors circulated that the government office in Shanglin Prefecture was in a deplorable state, with leaky roofs that rendered it uninhabitable on rainy days. Each governor assigned to the prefecture struggled financially, unable to fund the much-needed repairs.

Transferring Su Bin to such a place provided an excellent opportunity to toughen his resolve and resilience..
