Chapter 758: Family Forces
"I can agree to your terms. But the new emperor may not be me!" said the eldest prince.
"Big brother..."The fourth prince was still a little worried, after all, this was related to the royal family of the Falling Moon Empire.
The eldest prince looked at the fourth prince and said very seriously: "Their idea is right. What the Falling Moon Empire needs is a leader who can bring them peace, freedom, and equality, and that leader doesn't have to be someone from my royal family. Even, we the royal family are the biggest obstacle to this trend. ”
The eldest prince's words made Leng Qiu look up at him, but he didn't expect the eldest prince to have such an awareness.
The fourth prince was silent, to be honest, he was also very unaccustomed to what the current royal family was doing.
"Okay. I respect Big Brother's choice. The fourth prince said helplessly.
The eldest prince looked at Leng Qiu again and said, "I have many obstacles, but they are all my siblings, and I will never allow anyone to do anything to them." I'll figure it out myself. You don't have to worry about that!"
"That's great, but the major families and forces may already be in line. The eldest prince is understandable that he is reluctant to attack his brother, but he always wants to kill the prestige of other rivals. If this is not the case, the eldest prince will tell the family with potential threats, and a few of us can help the eldest prince solve his problems. Leng Qiu said with a smile.
The eldest prince thought for a moment and said, "It's okay." I'll put together a document for you when I get back. When the time comes, you will have to go and solve it. ”
The corners of Leng Qiu's mouth twitched, he originally just wanted to be polite, he thought that with the arrogance of the eldest prince, he would flatly refuse, but what is the situation now? Sorting out a piece of information? Doesn't this mean that what he wants them to deal with is not just a family or a force?
"Good. Then we'll live here temporarily, no problem, right?" Leng Qiu had no choice but to bite the bullet.
The eldest prince naturally heard the meaning of Leng Qiu's words, and immediately smiled: "This Forgotten Immortal Building is inextricably linked with my royal family, and I will keep my mouth shut about your affairs, so you don't have to worry about this." ”
"That's good. "Leng Qiu, they just lack a place to stay, with the words of the eldest prince, they can stay here with peace of mind.
"After bothering for so long, it's time to leave. A few people will take a break first. The list, I'll have someone send it later. The eldest prince got up and took his leave, and at the same time did not forget about the list.
Leng Qiu knew that this was also a temptation for them by the eldest prince!
"A few people go slowly! Because of their special status, they won't send it!" Leng Qiu just didn't want to send it, after all, no one knew him here.
"A few people stayed
Let's go!" the eldest prince left with the four princes and Rong Yue.
"They promised so quickly, there won't be a problem, right?" Zhao Bufan asked.
"I don't know. Leng Qiu shook his head, "They are not stupid, they should know the consequences of making a move on us." ”
Rong Zhen patted his chest and made a guarantee, "Don't worry! I still know the personality of the eldest prince." If he wants to deal with us, he will make it clear that he will not make any small moves behind his back. ”
"That's the best. Otherwise, we will not be at peace. Leng Qiu sat down again and asked again, "Who do you think he will let us deal with?"
Rong Zhen said: "In addition to the royal family, there are ten major family forces in the imperial city. Among them, the Rong family is already following the four princes. The remaining nine are Yun, Jiang, Feng, Wei, Ma, He, Zheng, Li and Su. ”
"Is there so little family power?" Leng Qiu was puzzled, just these ten families, will the royal family be afraid?
Rong Zhen naturally saw through Leng Qiu's thoughts and explained: "This is just the family power of the Imperial City, a city like the Imperial City has a lot of presence, and the other family forces are not weaker than these ten families. Moreover, don't forget, the royal city of the Falling Moon Empire is not only the Qin Clan's royal city, and the power of other royal cities should not be underestimated. In a word, the royal family is definitely not as simple as it is indicated. ”
Leng Qiu thought about it, if the royal family was really as simple as it seemed on the surface, it would have been replaced a long time ago.
You go on. Leng Qiu said.
Rong Zhen continued: "Since the royal family dares to let the ten major families stay by their side, they naturally feel that they have no second thoughts. These ten families almost never participate in the struggle for the throne of the royal family. My Rong family is also involved because of my business. ”
"So, what the Great Prince wants us to deal with will be the family forces of other cities?" Leng Qiu pondered for a long time.
"It's possible. Rong Zhen said: "There are a total of seven princes in the Falling Moon Empire, in addition to the eldest prince and the fourth prince and the dead second prince, there are also four princes. ”
"Every prince has been sent to the battlefield since he was a child. One is to train them, and the other reason is actually to subdue other family forces. ”
"Won't this cause civil strife?" Zhao Bufan asked curiously.
Wouldn't subjugating other family forces lead to self-respect? Wouldn't that lead to civil strife?
"Of course it will!" Rong Zhen replied in the affirmative, "Every battle for the throne is a murderous catastrophe. Of course, this only happens when His Majesty does not have an heir. ”
Rong Zhen continued: "If the throne is canonized
Heirs, unless the other princes can be strong enough to fight against this empire, they can only obediently accept their fate. ”
Thinking about it, when the heir has been decided, still wanting to seize the throne is tantamount to a rebellion, which will inevitably lead to a crusade from the major forces.
"So, this time there is no heir. Leng Qiu said.
"Hmm. Rong Zhen nodded, and said: "Generally, there is no heir, there are only two reasons. One is that the right candidate has not yet been found. But the current situation is so urgent, it is impossible not to appoint an heir, and besides, the eldest prince and the fourth prince are undoubtedly excellent candidates. There is only a second reason for this. ”
"The king died violently or was unconscious..."Leng Qiu said the second reason, and only in this way could he not appoint an heir to the throne.
Rong Zhen said: "Now it seems that His Majesty is in a coma. ”
"What is the situation of the other four princes?" Leng Qiu asked.
The only ones who can threaten the eldest prince and the four princes are the remaining four princes.
Rong Zhen said again: "Among the remaining four princes, the most threatening should be the third prince. It is said that the three princes have divine power and martial arts. In the war with the demons or the Flying Star Empire, he has repeatedly performed miraculous feats, and is deeply loved and respected by the soldiers. It is even rumored that a total of eight royal cities have expressed their willingness to support him as the new emperor of the Falling Moon Empire. ”
"By the way, there are a total of twenty-four imperial cities in the Falling Moon Empire. The fact that he can be recognized by one-third of the royal city is enough to prove his ability. ”
"What about the eldest prince and the fourth prince, how many supporters do they have?"
"The Great Prince and the Fourth Prince add up to only eight royal cities!"
"Wouldn't it? Didn't you say that the eldest prince and the fourth prince had the greatest chance of inheriting the throne?" Leng Qiu also began to be calm, and the two together were only as good as a third prince.
"It is only the royal family of the royal city that supports the three princes. The eldest prince is different from the fourth prince, they get the support of the people. This is the most important thing to be an emperor. Without the will of the people, how can we secure the world?" Rong Zhen said.
"Having said that, if you really want to fight, I'm afraid it won't have much effect by relying on the people's will..."Leng Qiu said.
"That's true, but don't forget. And the family power. It can be said unceremoniously that if the family forces of each city are united, there will basically be no matter of the soldiers defending the city. ”
Rong Zhen's implication is obvious, that is, if you want to win the final victory, you must not only get the support of the soldiers, but also find ways to win over the major family forces.
