Daily Intelligence System: Don't Kill Me, Honey! Chapter 2006 - 473: Hama: Minister Hama Accuses Tuotuo of Treason

"My old Lord, how have you been?"

Tuotuo smiled at Hama, his eyes filled with inscrutable meanings.

Hama also looked at Tuotuo at this moment, squeezing a smile from his wrinkled old face, "Hehehe, it’s thanks to the Left Minister’s kindness that I’m still alive!"

Upon hearing Hama’s words, Tuotuo’s lips curved slightly upward, "Hehe, it is due to the old Lord’s own abilities."

Hama looked at Tuotuo, "The Left Minister is too humble; I’ve seen your methods, and they are truly astonishing and terrifying to behold."

"Thinking about it now, it still makes me break out in a cold sweat, truly awe-inspiring!"

With these words from Hama, Tuotuo kept his gentle smile, "Old Lord, you flatter me, you flatter me!"

"Despite my meticulous planning, in the end, I couldn’t stop you, old Lord."

Tuotuo said with a smile that didn’t reach his eyes, to which Hama replied, "Perhaps it was fate that spared me."

After saying this, Hama looked at Tuotuo, "However, whether fate will spare you, Left Minister, is something I can’t be sure of!"

Hearing this, Tuotuo’s face gradually turned cold, "Old Chancellor, let things slide when possible, don’t push things to the brink!"

"Ha, hahaha..."

Hearing Tuotuo’s words, Hama suddenly burst into wild laughter, the smile becoming more twisted, as he looked at Tuotuo, "Let things slide when possible, what a good ’let things slide when possible’!"

"Tuotuo, if you know to let things slide when possible, why did you strike at me so ruthlessly? If it weren’t for my luck, my head would have already been on your desk, a mere plaything for you!"

Hama said coldly, and hearing this, Tuotuo looked at him, "Old Lord, let the past be past; I admit I was at fault in this matter, and I will offer compensation!"

"Compensation, how will you compensate me?"

Hama looked at Tuotuo, and Tuotuo said, "The Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Industry, from today onwards, will be under your command, replacing them with your people. How about we co-govern the realm?"

"Co-govern the realm?"

Hearing this, Hama squinted his eyes, his gaze having an indescribable flavor, even feeling somewhat tempted, for co-governing the realm was indeed very attractive.

Moreover, under the Central Secretariat, there are indeed six ministries, namely the Ministry of Revenue, Ministry of Industry, Ministry of Justice, Ministry of Personnel, Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of War.

Now, he had only one card, the Ministry of Rites, struggling to sustain; the real power departments, the Ministry of Revenue in charge of finances, the Ministry of Industry in charge of engineering, the Ministry of Justice in charge of law enforcement, the Ministry of Personnel in charge of personnel transfers and promotions, and even the Ministry of War in charge of the army, all under Tuotuo’s control.

Now he offered the most lucrative positions of the Ministry of Revenue and Ministry of Industry; it was clear he was very sincere.

But Hama hesitated only for a moment, then firmed up his thoughts. If Tuotuo had spoken these words before he laid a hand on him, he would have likely agreed, for it offered too much.

However, now he couldn’t possibly agree, Tuotuo had already proved his ruthlessness through his actions. Now he might resort to concessions for survival, but once reflecting and freeing his hands, he would surely come for him again.

Hama wasn’t stupid; he knew his military capability was worlds apart from Tuotuo. If Tuotuo wanted to deal with him, even if he controlled three ministries, let alone four or five, it would not be impossible.

He simply couldn’t play this game against him.

One must know that back then, he also held sway over the court, practically controlling all six ministries. At that time, Tuotuo had just started to emerge yet managed to beat him all over; let alone now.

So Tuotuo was offering him a tempting bait, if he bit it, Tuotuo would surely laugh off a big tooth.

Understanding all this, Hama looked at Tuotuo, seemingly harmless, but he knew, this was a demon in human disguise, smiling innocuously now but capable of devouring him without leaving a bone.

Understanding all this, Hama took a deep breath, his face immediately taking on a righteous expression, "Left Minister, are the court positions something you and I can privately assign? You are showing contempt for the court laws!"

Hama said this with an air of righteousness, making those unaware believe he was an officer of integrity and commitment.

Hearing this, Tuotuo looked at Hama with clear mockery on his face, "Old Lord, your words are truly sigh-inducing. Have you forgotten how you controlled the court back then?"

"What nonsense are you speaking, I, Hama, have always been a loyal subject of Daqian, when have I ever controlled the court, don’t slander me."

Hama hurriedly said.

Tuotuo said, "Hama, since we’ve come to this point, I’ll speak frankly. If you take this to court against me today, you might not succeed in bringing me down. I’ve governed the court for over ten years, and my disciples and former subordinates are all over the court. Anyone wanting to touch me must consider their opinions, and just with you, thinking you can pin me down, haha, dream on!"

"I’m telling you, if you fail to bring me down, then we’re sworn enemies, a fight to the death. As long as I’m in court, you won’t see a good day!"

"Of course, if you help me this time, I promise you the Ministry of Revenue and Ministry of Industry will be managed by your people tomorrow. Our matter of co-governing the realm, I promise you, won’t change, so how you choose, Hama, is up to you!"

Tuotuo said as he turned and stepped aside, giving Hama some space to think independently.
