Ye Xiwen laughed dumbly and didn't argue with him. Only he knew that he was not a genius and his talent was not outstanding. What's more, compared with these geniuses, how many times had he escaped death in order to get to this point? , he himself couldn’t figure it out clearly.
Fighting against heaven and earth, fighting all the way until now.
The fact that Ye Xiwen killed Dwarf Tiger and the fourth prince spread like a gust of wind throughout the entire imperial capital. Following the corpse of the fourth prince, the twenty-third prince suddenly became the favorite to win the throne. Many were not optimistic about it at first. His people also began to think highly of him and poured all their treasures on him.
For a time, the mansion of the twenty-third prince, who was originally isolated, suddenly became busy with traffic. Many people wanted to curry favor with the twenty-third prince, the most popular prince at present.
It would be nice if the Twenty-Third Prince could remember him if he ascends the throne. Suddenly, the Twenty-Third Prince's party, which was scattered when the Twenty-Third Prince was hunted down, suddenly had many more people join him. The people were all in the limelight for a while.
In the twenty-third prince's mansion, the twenty-third prince, Ye Xiwen, Jiao Mujiao and other core figures in the twenty-third prince's party were all gathered in a secret room.
"Now we have crushed the Four Princes' Party in one fell swoop and have become a huge force alongside the First Prince, Second Prince and others. At the same time, we have also become a thorn in the eyes and flesh of many forces!" Ye Xiwen glanced at the crowd and said, although , this is the 23rd Prince Party, but in fact, because of his amazing performance that day, although Ye Xiwen did not speak, he actually became the core figure of the entire 23rd Prince Party.
Although Ye Xiwen doesn't ask about these mundane matters, they will still consult Ye Xiwen for his opinion when it comes to big things. Every time they ask him, there are always unexpected answers. Ye Xiwen has everything at his fingertips, including conspiracy, military art, and government affairs. Unexpected solution.
Everyone looked at Ye Xiwen with admiration. They originally thought that he was just a high-level thug, similar to a role of worship, but they did not expect that he could also play the role of a staff member, and he was almost omnipotent and could take care of all kinds of things. Be well organized.
The twenty-third prince wanted to hire Ye Xiwen as his staff many times, and even promised to make Ye Xiwen the prime minister if he successfully ascended the throne in the future. However, he was not moved at all and refused directly, without even leaving room for negotiation. No.
Ye Xiwen's goal is to achieve the ultimate in martial arts, how could he be separated for these mundane things? In fact, for Ye Xiwen, these Du Yu are just easy to pick up with a little effort. He has not stayed in the library of Yiyuanzong for so long before. He has learned nothing at all. He is familiar with the notes of famous masters of the past dynasties, such as emperor studies, military art, government affairs, etc. Although the Kingdom of Dai Yue is definitely not as huge as the Kingdom of Wei, many of the principles are the same. One method can solve all problems.
"So now is not the time to be more high-profile. We have already shown enough strength. Those who are willing to defect to us will do so. What we have to do from now on is to build high walls and accumulate food to slowly become the king!" Ye Xiwen said slowly Said, speaking the nine-character mantra of rebellion.
The twenty-third prince's eyes suddenly lit up, as if he had a direction. Although these nine words were few, they were a guiding outline.
Although it was small, it was very useful. The eyes he looked at Ye Xiwen became more eager, but unfortunately he had no interest in being a staff member at all.
It's not that Ye Xiwen doesn't understand the principle of building strength in a low-key manner, but the old emperor is already holding his breath and is about to die. There is no time to slowly build up strength. Under normal circumstances, if you don't have enough fame, who will come to you? To win over a talent is a long-term tug-of-war.
Just like the huge forces of Cao, Sun, Liu and Yuan during the Three Kingdoms period, which one of them was not built on the reputation of defeating Dong Zhuo in order to recruit countless talents.
Now, after defeating the entire fourth prince's forces, the twenty-third prince has gained enough fame. All kinds of talents who are optimistic about him should have arrived. In addition, most of the forces under the fourth prince's sect have been accepted. After coming over, he had expanded enough.
Now it’s time to hide one’s capabilities and bide one’s time. If such a high profile continues, it is inevitable that other forces will regard them as the ones who stand out and kill them first. Being the ones who stand out has always had a bad end. The twenty-third prince has already been the one who stands out once before. But that was when there was no other way. If it weren't for the fact that his reputation was so bad, he wouldn't have arranged such a strategy.
"Our strategy from now on is to keep a low profile and increase our strength, and then wait for the opportunity to change!" Ye Xiwen said as he glanced at everyone.
Everyone knows what the so-called change of timing is, that is, when the emperor will die, it will be a big change of timing. The Kingdom of Wei does not even have a prince, and these princes also have a chance. Originally, according to the long life span of warriors, the Great Wei The emperor of the country can at least rule for more than five hundred years. There is no need to establish a prince so early. Unexpectedly, an accident has led to the current situation where a group of princes are fighting for the heir apparent.
Ye Xiwen secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It's not that easy to take advantage of the Beidou organization. This task must be completed by helping the twenty-third prince to the throne. After that, Beidou will naturally send someone to take over, so they don't have to worry about it.
Even in Beidou, there are many factions. He, Jiaomu Jiao, and Qingxu are relatively close. Although they are both in Beidou, this area is actually regarded as Others would also tacitly agree not to touch the territory of Ye Xiwen and a few others.
When the time comes, Ye Xiwen will also be able to share some of the profits here. It is precisely because of this that Ye Xiwen is so active in helping the twenty-third prince plan these things, because if the twenty-third prince ascends the throne, he will also have a lot The benefits are far more than what appears on the surface.
After the twenty-third prince became a hot favorite, he did not recruit as many disciples as everyone imagined. On the contrary, he just accepted the influence of the fourth prince and almost stopped accepting influence.
Although there are still a large number of people waiting outside the mansion, wanting to enter the 23rd prince's door, and joining in before the winner is finally decided, after all, they are also ministers of the dragon.
This was beyond the expectation of many people. Even the fourth prince had some forces that had defected to other princes, but the twenty-third prince did not stop them, as if he could not see them at all.
But only Ye Xiwen knows it, because he sets the policy. To him, these people are just idlers and useless. Those who can really decide who owns the throne must rely on force to fight for it. These people are useless at all. If the fight for the throne fails, then these people will immediately fall apart and be completely unreliable.
And if you achieve great wealth in the end, then these people will not be able to get as many as they want.
The aftermath of the Fourth Prince's execution was not completely calmed down until a month later. The Twenty-Third Prince and many other princes had already completed the carving up of the Four Princes' power. Of course, most of them fell into the Twenty-Third Prince's group. In the hands of the prince, a considerable part was still divided up by other princes, and they also made a lot of money. After all, the fourth prince had been running a power for more than hundreds of years, and the foundation was unimaginable. If it hadn't included the fourth prince himself this time All the backbones of the four princes' party including him were killed by Ye Xiwen. How could the carve-up be completed so easily
However, the situation in the entire imperial capital has become more and more tense. Many people are speculating whether there will be a well-hidden force like the Twenty-Third Prince suddenly emerging. After all, the final reveal is almost here. time.
News that the emperor was not there continued to spread in the palace. Finally, there was news that someone even went to Knock Que to ask an ancestor of the royal family to heal the emperor's injury.
After all, compared to the power of each prince, the real giant is the power of the emperor himself, that is, the power of the royalists. They all prospered because of the emperor, and only by gaining the emperor's favor can they go all the way to the present. If the emperor suddenly If he dies, the one who suffers the most is not others, but them. Each prince has his own team. Once he ascends the throne, he will definitely use his own team instead of the former emperor’s veterans. This is what they are most worried about. , so instead of betting on which prince can win, it is better to find a way to treat the old emperor's injuries.
Under such forced circumstances, they even thought of going to the ancestors of the Great Sage Realm to treat the emperor's injuries.
This ancestor of the Great Saint Realm is said to be the founding monarch of the Great Wei Kingdom. He has disappeared for a long time and only appeared several times when the Great Wei Kingdom was in danger of annihilation.
In other cases, it is said that they are in retreat in a secret realm, and these people also went to find the ancestor of the Great Saint Realm, hoping that he would take action.
However, the news soon spread that even the ancestor of the Great Sage was helpless and had no way to treat the emperor's injuries. This was a complete announcement of the destruction of the emperor's power.
For a moment, all the ambitious princes began to get ready to take action, but then another news suddenly came out.
The eldest prince broke into the palace and rebelled. The eldest prince suddenly led all the forces to break into the palace and stormed into the palace to seize the throne. Then there was even more explosive news.
The eldest prince failed, and the reason for the failure was that the ancestor of the Great Saint Realm in the palace personally took action to suppress the eldest prince's intrusion, which directly led to the eldest prince's failure.
All of a sudden, all kinds of rumors were flying all over the place, which was dizzying.
