There were only five people left in Yajing's study. Two green pots of Jiangnan potted plants spit out a wave of green at the window, bringing a ray of coolness. Wufeng threw a large stack of information piled on the desk to the three of them. He leisurely sat in the handsome chair, took the tea cup handed by the green-clothed beauty beside him, and savored the tea carefully.

The study was quiet, and only the three of them were heard hunching their heads and carefully reading the information. The beautiful man in green also sat quietly on the brocade stool behind Wufeng, leaning beside Wufeng's chair.

After reading the information in their hands, the three of them exchanged each other. Perhaps the information brought them too much information, which made it difficult for the three of them to digest for a while. After reading all the information, the three of them all bowed their heads and carefully digested the information they had just obtained.

Wufeng didn't urge him, but just waited patiently, and then turned his gaze out the window.

In the end, Xiao Tang coughed gently to break the silence. The beautiful man in green gently touched his beloved beside him. Wufeng then took his eyes away from the window, but his face still had a deep thoughtful look.

"How is it? What do you think?" Wu Feng's words did not contain any emotional colors.

As if they were waiting for something, the three of them chose to be in the silence. Until Wufeng impatiently turned his eyes to Xiao Tang, who was sitting in the middle, Xiao Tang said cautiously: "Sir, based on the information from the imperial capital, it seems that His Majesty the Emperor already has the intention to become a crown prince?"

"What do you think?" Wufeng refused to say anything, his tone was indifferent.

"Well, since Your Majesty has already assigned tasks to several princes who have the hope of competing for the reserve position, he naturally wants to examine the virtues of all the princes and see which of the princes is more suitable to take over his position. Could it be that His Majesty's body is really not enough to survive?" Xiao Tang said carefully. On these sensitive topics, even if there were only a few people inside, Xiao Tang still seemed very cautious.

"Su Qin, what do you think?" Wu Feng looked like a rook, and did not directly answer Xiao Tang's question, but instead threw the topic to Su Qin next to him.

"Well, I agree with Brother Xiao's opinion. Your Majesty is old and in poor health, so he naturally has to choose the crown prince early. However, the princes of the empire each have their own strengths, especially the forces behind them and the forces supporting them have considerable backgrounds. A slight mistake will cause an uproar. Even His Majesty the Emperor may not dare to make a decision at will under the current circumstances, so giving them different tasks may be the best way. If you do it well, you can naturally win the favor of Your Majesty. If you do it badly, your Majesty can also take this opportunity to cut off their ideas. Moreover, the tasks assigned by Your Majesty seem to be quite interesting. Let the army of the Northern Military Region attack the Taiping Army and let the army of the Western Military Region find ways to recover the Lujiang and Bashan prefectures. Haha, it's really interesting." Su Qin's tone was much relaxed.

"Hehe, kill two birds with one stone?" Ling Tianfang also continued with a smile, "The Northern Military Region is already the power of His Highness. Although His Majesty can control it when he is there, it is hard to say. The Western Military Region is the same. The Third Highness also has a great influence on them, but this will be enough for His Highness and the Third Highness to think about it carefully."

Nodded slightly, Wufeng also smiled: "The Seventh Prince Situ Yuan is responsible for dealing with the Japanese? Jiangnan and Donghai counties are his old lairs. The Seventh Army and the Navy Fleet of the Empire are probably his sphere of influence, right? Situ Biao is responsible for clearing the remnants of the Taiping Sect in the mainland of the empire, and Situ Lang is responsible for the security of the imperial capital. There are many mysteries in this. Hehe, Your Majesty is really working hard."

Wufeng's words were quite playful, and the three of them also heard the meaning of the words and were thinking about them carefully.

"Hehe, it seems that Your Highness Ninth is quite happy to His Majesty." After a long time, Su Qin, who was thinking, said a word slowly.

"Well, it seems that's right, responsible for the public security of the imperial capital. In this extraordinary period, it seems like this is a thankless task on the surface, but--" Wu Feng nodded meaningfully and did not say more.

"Oh, Your Majesty's authorization can certainly be achieved in one go, but this also invisibly encourages the power of several princes. If you don't grasp it well, it will be difficult to say the pros and cons of this. "Xiao Tang obviously thought further and there was a hint of worry on his face. "Your Majesty is already in poor health. If you go before you know what to do, there will be many variables in the middle, and even the storm will be even greater. No matter which princes with greater power ascend to the throne, the other few will not be willing to be under the control of others. They will definitely use the power in their hands to set off the storm. How should we deal with it at that time, which side should we stand on, and whether the existing relationships and interests will be affected, all these factors must be taken into account."

Xiao Tang, who is worthy of being an old government official, even Ling Tianfang secretly admired the other party's foresight. Not only did he see the impact of the changes in front of him, but he even considered the variables that might be triggered after the death of His Majesty the Emperor. Especially this boss who controls the power of the northwest and northern Luzon also has close ties with the princes in the court. Even Ling Tianfang himself didn't know which prince he was more inclined to, or was he just using the other party?

"This is not something you and I can control. Now that things are like this, we can only wait and see. Fortunately, the Taiping Army now helps us separate the empire from our northwest, which may be more beneficial to us. Several princes seem to be trying to make our northwest. They wait for a price and sell it at a good price. Do you think so?" Wufeng smiled happily. Is it a joke or half-true to show his thoughts? Even the three people sitting in front of him could not see through it for a while.

"Hehe, are you a lord who is waiting for a price?" Su Qin asked with a smile, "From the subordinates' perspective, the lord should be the buyer. I'm afraid there are many lords around us who are waiting for a price and are going to sell it to the lord."

"Oh?" Wufeng also smiled, as if he didn't even know this. "Really? Haha, then I have to choose. If I want to buy, I have to buy something real and worth buying."

To outsiders, they could not hide the words of the two of them as a puzzle. Xiao Tang and Ling Tianfang were both silently thinking about the conversation between Su Qin and Li Wufeng, without interrupting for a while.

"According to the current situation, it seems that we should not set foot in Guanxi at this time. Since His Majesty the Emperor has allowed several princes to take over the power, all the ministers will inevitably take sides secretly. There will definitely be many troubles in the dispute between the forces of various parties. Who is stronger and who is weaker, and who will have a better chance to ascend to the position of Dabao will gradually be clear. If we intervene in the Central Plains at this time, we will inevitably be involved. From the perspective of our subordinates, it is better for us to sit in the mountains and watch the tiger fight, accumulate energy, wait for an opportunity to enter the Central Plains," Xiao Tang pondered for a while, and finally put forward his own opinion.

"Well, continue." Wufeng nodded slightly, his expression remained unchanged.

"After all, the foundation of our northwest and northern Luzon is too weak. Although it has developed rapidly in recent years, due to too many wars, the army is huge and has consumed a lot of financial funds. If you want to make a big leap in a short period of time, you can only find another way." Xiao Tang continued his thoughts and said, "The opinions of Liang Chongxin that the Lord showed us just now are worth considering. However, he believes that there are many tribes in the Indian Kingdom and the internal situation is not less complex than that of the empire. His personal opinions think that it can make internal struggles and we can profit from them. As for taking special measures, as long as the conditions are appropriate, it is not as good as that of occasionally."

Xiao Tang's next few words made the three people, including Wufeng, stunned. They all knew that the Administrative Director had always been a righteous person and was not very sensible about those who were indifferent. It was a bit surprising that he could actually say that he agreed to use special means today.

"Haha, Brother Xiao seems to be enlightened?" Ling Tianfang couldn't help but grin and joked: "Can the sun come out from the west?"

"Hehe, Brother Ling, Xiao Tang is not a person who is unrestrained. It's just that Xiao Tang is in charge of the government affairs of the Northwest and Northern Luzon for the Lord. He knows that it is better to use this side of the situation less. If you just borrow such means, it may be difficult to maintain it for a long time. Development is the hard truth. Only a strong and solid economic foundation is the foundation to support a strong side. I believe everyone knows this better than Xiao Tang." With a wry smile, Xiao Tang shook his head and was obviously very touched.

, "But Liang Chongxin has always been calm. Since he dared to come up with this idea, he must be quite sure. If he could make a fortune from the Indians, hehe, it would be a good idea. I have long heard that the nobles of the Indians were full of food and nothing to do all day long, but the means of accumulating wealth was unsatisfactory. I don't know how much wealth these guys have squeezed out of it."

"Yes, it's a good thing to get ill-gotten wealth. Let's spend money on them, which can be regarded as accumulating virtue and doing good deeds, haha." Ling Tianfang also smiled happily and continued.

"The Kingdom of India and Germany is one of the most influential powers in the Central Continent. It borders the Hansen Alliance, the most powerful national alliance in the West, and it also firmly stifles our business path to the west. However, its internal contradictions are full of conflicts. We can also take this opportunity to step in and gradually expand our influence in the Central Continent, laying the foundation for our future development in the Central Continent. Although the Hyderabad tribe has declined, it is still one of the three tribes of the Kingdom of India and Germany. They now urgently need foreign aid to deal with the challenges of the other two rising tribes to maintain their current status.
