Somewhat embarrassed, Sidon rubbed his hands to wipe away the sweat. He cried out in his heart that he had been wronged. He had been the Minister of the Interior for a long time, and even Lu Wenfu, who had been the Minister of the Interior for more than ten years, obviously had no interest in the sudden rise of the eighteenth princess. Unconsciously, how could he have expected this half-filled jar of water, but at this time, he was in charge of the General Administration of Internal Affairs, and this shit basin was placed on his head without any obstruction.
"Well, Your Highness, Brother Leng, to be honest, we really don't have any impression of this eighteenth princess. His Majesty the late emperor left more than twenty children, including nearly twenty of them, the princesses. They usually live in seclusion. , except for the Thirteenth Princess and the Seventeenth Princess, who can attract attention because of their own special reasons, the Ministry of Internal Affairs cannot take full care of everyone else. If we really want to say what is different about the Eighteenth Princess, , that is, her origin, her mother was a lowly singing prostitute, but she was occasionally favored by His Highness when he was looking for her in disguise, but she left behind such a curse. She had never shown any abnormal behavior before. I have also ordered the internal affairs department to find out. Unfortunately, her activities in recent years are almost blank, and we have almost no records of her. When Brother Leng asked who she worked for, I really have no way to answer."
"Huh, whoever you work for, you can't escape those three families! But Li Wufeng has no hope at all. There are only two families, Situ Biao and Situ Yuan. Alas, the most likely possibility is Situ Yuan. This guy knows that we will never tolerate it. With Lao Liu sitting in this position, he can just pick out the missed fish, and his calculations are really accurate." Situ Tai couldn't help but look up to the sky and sigh. A lot of money has been spent in the past few days, informing celebrities and officials from all sides, making vows and promises to the gentry and nobles, and it seems that victory is already in hand. This blow drove him straight into the abyss. There was no chance of turning around, and he had to guard against all the negative effects caused by Situ Biao's ascension to the throne.
"Your Highness, regardless of whether His Highness the King of Chu did it or not, now we have to guard against His Highness the King of Xiang taking advantage of the opportunity. His Highness the King of Chu has no soldiers. His original home bases of Donghai and Jiangnan are already in our hands. Even if we sit on this Position, as long as we control it properly, he can only act according to our intentions. At the very least, the situation will be much better than letting His Highness King Xiang control the imperial capital. If His Highness King Xiang controls the imperial capital, we will be hampered every step in the future. This is our absolute I don't want to see it." Leng Qian was already thinking about how to prevent Situ Biao from taking the opportunity to fight for the throne. "Now the people of King Xiang's line have begun to move around. Princess Sogna has left the palace and is said to have gone to Miao. The Qin family and the Qin family probably want to persuade these two families to help them put pressure on those important ministers. Now Lu Wenfu and Tian Yi are staying behind closed doors and refuse to meet anyone. Our people have also hit a wall when they go. Jilin Geng I even saw the figure and knew whether he was hiding. Ma Yuan was also in frequent contact with His Highness King Xiang over there. It seems that he wanted to ensure that His Highness King Xiang ascended the throne, so we have to be on guard."
"Is Lao Liu so powerful in the Imperial Capital?" Before he could wake up from the blow, Situ Tai's focus of hatred was still focused on Situ Yuzhen, "He Lao Liu has no foundation in the Imperial Capital. How capable can Sogna be?" ? Is it possible that just because of her beauty, the Miao family and the Tai family can work for the sixth child? Situ Yuzhen, this little bitch who is an old bitch, will let her fall into my hands one day. I want to call her If you can’t live, you can’t die!”
He frowned and glanced at Sidon next to him. Leng Qian found that his master had not really realized the seriousness of the problem at this time. Before he could remind him, Xiton couldn't wait to interrupt: "Your Highness. Don't underestimate them. If His Highness the King of Xiang gets the support of Li Wufeng, , I am afraid that his dream will come true. Li Wufeng's power in the imperial capital far exceeds His Highness King Xiang. Many important ministers and big families such as Tian Yi, Huey family, Zeng Guohong, etc. are inextricably linked to him. If His Royal Highness King Xiang and Li Wufeng join forces, it will be difficult to reverse the situation."
"Although Lord Sidon's concerns may not be accurate, they must be considered. However, Li Wufeng will definitely not be happy to see His Royal Highness King Xiang sitting on this throne. Of course, if there is any secret agreement reached between them, it should be an exception. It should be said that Chu His Highness the King is the candidate that everyone can accept. Your Highness, maybe we should take the initiative to contact His Highness the King of Chu and Li Wufeng now. We really want to let His Highness the King of Xiang take the upper hand and let them really reach an agreement first. Then we would be at a huge disadvantage.”
Leng Qian's voice was already vaguely dissatisfied. Even Sidon could feel it. Situ Tai also realized that he was now obsessed with anger and had lost his mind. He nodded vigorously to express his understanding and thought for a moment. "It is necessary to contact Lao Ba. At least let him know that he will achieve nothing without us in the imperial capital. If we two brothers can cooperate sincerely, everything will be fine. As for Li Wufeng, Mr. Leng, what do you think? Is it necessary? Now that we are at odds with him, will he be willing to cooperate with us?" "Why not? Everything revolves around interests. Now that we have lost the opportunity, there are only two candidates in front of us, King Xiang. The possibility is naturally the highest, but what benefit does it have for King Xiang to ascend the throne? Li Wufeng is now bent on maintaining his rule in the area he currently controls. Even if King Xiang is willing to cooperate with him, if we firmly oppose it, the situation will only reach a deadlock. It is not good for all parties. I am thinking that Li Wufeng is also a smart man. I am afraid that at this time, he is also considering how to obtain greater benefits from this sudden change." Leng Qian's eyes were deep and he stroked his chin a few times. A wisp of rat whiskers said with some hesitation.
Naturally, no one thought that Situ Yuzhen's move to disrupt the situation was actually ordered by Wu Feng. They all subconsciously thought that Wu Feng, who had no chance of competing for the throne, would make such a strange move. Moreover, Situ Yuzhen seemed to have never He had been in contact with the Xijiang clan, and he thought about how Situ Yuzhen could be involved with Li Wufeng.
The laughter was like pearls and the whole scene was full of joy. Just when Situ Tai was dejected and thinking about how to restore the decline to the maximum extent and avoid too much damage to his interests, the palace of Prince Chu was full of laughter and laughter. The courtyard is full of Jiangnan landscape and round forest style and is full of greenery. Ebony, sandalwood and rosewood constitute the main style of building materials and furniture in the entire courtyard. This alone shows that although His Royal Highness the King of Chu is now powerful in terms of political power, Although the economy has shrunk greatly, it seems that its economic strength has not been greatly affected. Wang Liao looked at it briefly and saw that the cost of building this Yuanzi alone would probably not be less than three million gold coins, and the furniture layout in this reception hall The cost will not be less than 200,000 imperial gold coins. Wang Liao has seen some people in the world, but after browsing the scenery in front of him, he can also sigh that the luxurious life of these royal children is really not that of ordinary wealthy people. Comparable.
"Master Wang, everything is moving forward according to the ideas of His Highness the King of Thailand. It seems that His Highness the King of Thailand has no doubts about the plan, haha." Situ Yuan was in an indescribable mood at this time. Situ Tai was hit by an arrow and fell from his horse. After settling down, the only candidates left were himself and Sixth Brother. Such precise calculations made Situ Yuan have to wonder whether his famous eighteenth sister had an ulterior secret with Li Wufeng. However, there was a secret between Seventeenth and Seventeenth. His younger sister was engaged first, and Situ Yuan did not believe that Li Wufeng dared to marry an imperial princess and then get involved with another imperial princess. Although it seems that the names of these princesses are no longer so popular, after all, the royal bloodline is still Has considerable influence.
"Haha, Your Highness, this is also an accident. Originally His Highness King Qin was planning to join hands with His Highness King Chu to resist His Highness, but he didn't expect that such a thing would happen now. It can be regarded as an unexpected surprise. But this eighteenth princess is really honest. Unexpectedly, we have so much evidence, even His Highness the King of Qin is astonished." Wang Liao did not have any emotional tendency in his words, and he did not seem to understand the meaning of the other party's words.
After taking a closer look at the other party, Situ Yuan saw something strange in Wang Liao's expression, but he was thinking secretly in his heart. Could it be that Li Wufeng really had nothing to do with his eighteenth sister? So is this eighteenth sister the sixth brother's secret child
"His Royal Highness King Chu, you probably know the purpose why His Royal Highness the King of Thailand asked me to come today. Although His Highness the King of Thailand is willing to fully support your ascension to the throne, and we are also working hard to convince His Highness the King of Xiang, you also know that there are some changes in the current situation. His Highness King Xiang will certainly not be so easily persuaded now, especially since there are a group of people under him who do not think so. Perhaps under this situation, everyone's thoughts are a little wild. Although his power in the imperial capital city is not Strong, but we also have to be on guard. I am afraid that the resources you should use will also have to be used. In addition, we judge that His Highness may come to you for cooperation, and you should also be mentally prepared." Wang Liao ignored the other party's expression. , went straight down, "His Royal Highness the King of Thailand also suggests that you might as well make peace with His Highness. Although you two were somewhat unhappy in the past, considering the overall situation, it might as well wait until you ascend the throne before we can discuss everything."
"Mr. Wang, are you saying that Situ Tai will also come to see me?" Situ Yuan was a little surprised and seemed to believe it.
"What's impossible? Does he want His Royal Highness King Xiang to ascend the throne? It seems to His Highness that you have no power and no soldiers. Now many wealthy families have surrendered to him. He is the most powerful in the imperial capital. Maybe you also I have to rely on him to secure this position." Wang Liao said with a deep expression.
