Section 66 Friends and Foes
Scrubbing his hands and sweat a little embarrassedly, Sidon even complained that he had not taken over as the Minister of the Interior. Even Lu Wenfu, who had been in charge of the Interior Minister for more than ten years, was obviously unaware of the sudden rise of the Eighteenth Princess. How could he expect this half-cup of water, but at this time he was in charge of the Interior Department, and this shit was placed on his head without any restraint.
"Uh, Your Highness, Brother Leng, to be honest, we have no impression of this Eighteenth Princess. His Majesty the First Emperor left more than twenty children, of which His Princess has nearly twenty. They are usually in simplicity. Except for the Thirteenth Princess and His Seventeenth Princess, who can attract attention because of their own special reasons, the Interior Administration cannot take care of them all. If you really want to tell what is the difference between His Highness, that is, her origin, her mother is a lowly singer. She is just a lowly singer. She is just occasionally favored by His Highness when she was searched for her intimate clothes, but she has left such a disaster. She has never performed any abnormally before. I have ordered the Interior Department to understand her activities in recent years. Unfortunately, it is almost blank. We have almost no record of her. Brother Leng asked who she was working for, and I really have no answer."
"Hmph, who can't get rid of those three families? But Li Wufeng has no hope at all, and there are only Situ Biao and Situ Yuan families. Alas, the biggest possibility is Situ Yuan. This guy knows that we will never tolerate Lao Liu sitting in this position. He can pick this missed fish, which is really accurate." Situ Tai couldn't help but sigh to the sky. He spent a lot in the past few days, informing celebrities and officials from all walks of life, and swearing to make a wish to the gentry and nobles. Seeing that he was sure to win, this blow drove himself into the abyss, and there was no chance to turn things around. He had to be wary of the various negative effects brought by Situ Biao ascendance.
"Your Highness, no matter whether it is done by Your Highness of the King of Chu or not, we have to guard against Your Highness of Xiang taking the opportunity to benefit. Your Highness of the King of Chu has no soldiers. His original nest, Donghai and Jiangnan, have been controlled by us. Even if we sit in this position, as long as we control it properly, he can only act according to our intentions. At least the situation is much better than letting Your Highness of Xiang. If Your Highness of Xiang controls the imperial capital, we will be constrained every step in the future, which we will definitely not want to see." Leng Qian was already considering how to avoid Situ Biao's borrowing.
The plane started to compete for the throne, "Now the Xiang King's team of people have begun to move. The imperial concubine Sogena has left the palace. It is said that she went to the Miao family and the Qin family, probably to persuade these two families to help them put pressure on those important officials. Now Lu Wenfu and Tian Yi are both staying away and refuse to meet anyone. Our people are also hitting a wall when they go there. Jilin can't even see people. I wonder if they are hiding. Ma Yuan went there and is also frequently in contact with His Highness Xiang. It seems that we have to be careful to ensure that His Highness Xiang King ascends the throne."
"Does Lao Liu have that great power in the emperor?" Before she could wake up from the blow, Situ Tai's hatred was still focused on Situ Yuzhen. "He Lao Liu has no foundation in the imperial capital. How capable can Sogena be? Can her beauty make the Miao family and the Qin family work for Lao Liu? Situ Yuzhen, a little bitch raised by the old bitch, one day she will fall into my hands. I want her to survive but not die!"
He frowned and glanced at Sidon beside him. Leng Qian found that his lord had not truly realized the seriousness of the problem at this time. He had not yet reminded the other party. Sidon could not wait to interrupt: "Your Highness, you must not underestimate them. If Your Highness of the King of Xiang is supported by Li Wufeng, he is afraid that his dream will come true. Li Wufeng's power in the imperial capital is far greater than His Highness of Xiang. Many important officials and families such as Tian Yi, the Xiu Yi family, Zeng Guohong and many other important officials and big families have close ties with him. Your Highness of Xiang and Li Wufeng join forces, but it is difficult to change the situation."
"Although Lord Sidon's concerns are not necessarily accurate, he must not ignore them. However, Li Wufeng would definitely not be happy to see His Highness Xiang as the throne. Of course, if there is an exception between them, it should be said that His Highness the King of Chu 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. If His Highness Xiang takes the lead and let them really reach an agreement first, then it would be too unfavorable."
Leng Qian's voice was already faintly dissatisfied, and even Sidon could feel it. Situ Tai realized that he was obsessed with anger and was a little dissatisfied. He nodded vigorously, expressed his understanding, and said with a little thought: "It is necessary to contact Lao Ba. At least he must know that this imperial capital has left us and he will achieve nothing. If we two brothers can cooperate sincerely, everything will be easy. As for Li Wufeng, Old Leng, do you think it is necessary? We have become a powerful force with him now, and will he be willing to cooperate with us?"
"Why can't it be? Everything is revolving around interests. Now that we have lost the opportunity, there are only two candidates in front of us. The possibility of Xiang King is naturally the greatest, but what are the benefits of Xiang King's ascending the throne? Li Wufeng is now determined to maintain the rule of his existing control area. Even if Xiang King is willing to cooperate with him, if we firmly oppose it, the scene will only fall into a deadlock, which is not good for all parties. I am thinking that Li Wufeng is also a smart person, I am afraid that he will also consider how to obtain greater benefits from this mutation at this time." Leng Qian's eyes were deep, and hesitantly said while stroking the rat whiskers under his jaw.
Naturally, a group of people never thought that Situ Yuzhen's trouble was actually Wufeng's instruction. They all subconsciously believed that Wufeng, who was fighting for the throne, would use such a strange move. Moreover, Situ Yuzhen seemed to have never had any contact with the Western Xinjiang department. If you want to break the nail, you would never think about how Situ Yuzhen would be involved with Li Wufeng.
The laughter was as happy as a pearl, and the joy was in the air. Just when Situ Tai was dejected and wondering how to minimize the decline and avoid excessive damage to the interests, the Chu Palace was filled with laughter and joy. The garden green style full of Jiangnan landscape garden styles was filled with greenery. Ebony, sandalwood, and rosewood formed the main style of the building wood and furniture in the entire courtyard. This alone shows that although the King of Chu has shrunk greatly in terms of political power,
It seems that the economic strength has not been greatly affected. Wang Liao looked at it and saw that the cost of building this garden alone would not be less than three million gold coins, and the cost of furniture arrangement in this reception hall would not be less than two hundred thousand imperial gold coins. Wang Liao has also seen some people, but after browsing the scenery in front of him, he could not help but sigh that the extravagant life of these royal children is indeed beyond the reach of ordinary wealthy families.
"Mr. Wang, everything is moving forward according to the ideas of His Highness King Qin. It seems that His Highness King Qin is already a sure plan, haha." Situ Yuan was indescribable at this time. Situ Tai was caught in the arrow and had already settled down. The candidates were only himself and his sixth brother. Such accurate calculations forced Situ Yuan to doubt whether his unknown eighteenth sister had an ulterior motive with Li Wufeng. However, having been engaged to the seventeenth sister first, Situ Yuan did not believe that Li Wufeng dared to marry another imperial princess after marrying an imperial princess. Although it seems that these princesses are no longer so popular now, the royal bloodline still has a considerable influence.
"Haha, Your Highness, this is also an accident. Originally, His Highness of Qin was planning to join forces with His Highness to resist His Highness, but unexpectedly, such a thing appeared now, which was also an unexpected surprise. However, this Eighteenth Princess was really unexpected. He had obtained so much evidence, and even His Highness of Qin was inexplicably surprised." Wang Liao's words did not have any emotional tendencies, and he seemed to have not heard the meaning of the other party's words.
After taking a closer look at the other party, Situ Yuan could not see anything strange in Wang Liao's expression, but he was secretly urging himself. Could this Li Wufeng really have nothing to do with his eighteenth sister? In this way, is this eighteenth sister the secret son of the sixth brother?
"Your Highness, the purpose of His Highness, the King of Qin, you probably know that although His Highness, the King of Qin is willing to fully support you in ascend the throne, and we are also trying to convince His Highness, but you also know that there are some changes in the current situation. Your Highness, the King of Xiang, will definitely not be so easy to persuade now, especially with a group of people under his command, maybe in this case, everyone is a little active. Although his power in the imperial capital is not strong, we have to be on guard against it. The resources you should use may also move. In addition, we judge that Your Highness may come to you for cooperation, and you should also be mentally prepared." Wang Liao ignored the other party's expression and went down, "Your Highness, the King of Qin, also suggested that you might as well make a fuss with Your Highness. Although both of you were a little unhappy in the past, from the overall situation, we might as well wait until you ascend the throne again."
"Mr. Wang, do you mean that Situ Tai will come to me too?" Situ Yuan was a little surprised, as if he didn't believe it.
"What's impossible? Will he hope that Your Highness Xiang King ascend the throne? In the eyes of Your Highness, you have no power or soldiers. Now many aristocratic families have already turned to him. Only he is the most powerful in the imperial capital. Maybe you have to rely on him to sit firmly in this position." Wang Liao said with a deep expression and meaningful expression.
