Chapter 240: The Situation

"I have heard about this, the eighth prince will open the Sifang Building under his name all over the Daqian Dynasty, even the small place before Tang has the shadow of the Sifang Building, the business is really big, the wealth is extensive, and it is worthy of being called the prince's money bag. ”

Tang Yuan recalled the Sifang Building in Suiyang County, Dingzhou, and couldn't help but fall into reminiscence.

Zi Yan said: "The eighth prince holds the financial power in the hands of the prince, and the two of them were born to the same mother, and they will not turn against each other, but it is a pity that the queen died after giving birth to the eighth prince." ”

After the words fell, Zi Yan thought about it for a while, and still said: "Since you don't know the situation in the imperial court, I will still tell you about it, so as not to suffer losses in the future." ”

"Then thank you, Miss Ziyan. ”

Tang Yuan arched his hand.

"As the Emperor's body gradually weakens, the momentum of seizing the heir is intensifying, it may be an opportunity for you, choose a prince, maybe you can mix up the merits of the dragon. ”

Zi Yan looked at Tang Yuan and laughed.

"Generally, people who follow the dragon do not end well, in case of the wrong choice, the day of the new emperor's accession to the throne is the time to settle accounts, Tang is very sorry for his life, but he will not do such a stupid thing. ”

Tang Yuan shook his head slightly, and couldn't help but sneer.

He has a system, so why should he grovel to the powerful.

If the strength is strong to a certain extent, the imperial power will also bow its head.

You don't see Shaolin, Daomen and the imperial court are almost on an equal footing.

It's just that they are all big cadres and people, and the big forces in the rivers and lakes are clear, and they will not deliberately confront the imperial court, and the imperial court will not ask for trouble under normal circumstances.

Unless the forces of the rivers and lakes touch the keen nerves of Emperor Qian.

"Hehe, you're saying this too early, not necessarily. ”

Zi Yan smiled and said: "When you get to the head of the state, someone will force you to stand in line, if you don't stand in line, you will be the enemy, and you should try your best to eliminate it." ”

Then Tang will wait and see. ”

Tang Yuan was so busy that he didn't have the slightest fear, and said curiously: "Is the Qianhuang body not good, is he a martial artist?"

Zi Yan explained: "Of course, Emperor Qianhuang is a martial artist of the Yuan God Realm, but Emperor Qian's qualifications are extremely poor, and he has taken too many heavenly and earthly treasures, and his meridians have been seriously damaged, and his old age has become more and more serious over the years.

Now he is no longer concentrating on government affairs, but has put his hope on immortality, but unfortunately he has not achieved anything so far. ”

"Martial artists can really live forever?"

Tang Yuan frowned slightly, in this world where martial artists are respected, he really didn't dare to jump to conclusions.

"My master said yes. ”

Zi Yan shook her head slightly, but after thinking about it, she said.

She didn't know if a martial artist could live forever, but her master once said that there was indeed a way to live forever, and it was unknown whether anyone would live forever.

"Really!"

Tang Yuan exclaimed.

He thought that immortality was a trick of the imperial court to deceive the emperor, but he never expected that there was really a way to live forever, so the emperor must not go crazy.

No wonder the active search for the way to immortality.

Speaking of immortality, it seems that there is really a method of immortality in the system.

For now, it's a bit of a chicken for him.

"It is precisely because of the deterioration of the emperor's health that all the princes are fighting openly and secretly, and they are all eyeing the throne. Zi Yan said.

"The most ruthless emperor's family, Lao Tzu is going to die, of course the sons have to keep an eye on the throne, so as not to be robbed by others. ”

Tang Yuan sneered and said, "The prince has a great advantage, his name is justified, who can compete with him." ”

"That's right, the crown prince's identity is orthodox, once the emperor dies, it is logical for him to succeed to the throne, I am afraid that when the dynasty is in chaos and the alien iron hooves will invade the Central Plains, my Xuanyin faction does not know if it will choose to intervene. ”

She has no interest in the ownership of the throne, but the alien iron-hoofed horse will step on the Central Plains and will approach the territory of the Xuanyin Sect, and it will not be up to them to decide if they can't make a move.

"However, the crown prince may not necessarily be able to take the throne. ”

Zi Yan's expression moved slightly.

Tang Yuan asked curiously, "Which prince in the court is so powerful that he can threaten the status of the crown prince?"

"Really!"

Zi Yan nodded and said solemnly: "The momentum of the DPRK and China to seize the throne is becoming more and more intense, and the ministers of the DPRK and China, the generals of all parties, including the high-ranking and powerful heads of the six gates, are all standing in line, waving the flag and shouting for the princes.

Three years ago, the prelude to winning the succession officially began. When you go to a high position in the future, you will inevitably have to stand in line, be careful, the prince may not be the best choice.

When the concubine got the news, Cangxing Chao was dissatisfied with the prince, although he did not join the prince, but he was facing the prince openly and secretly.

In front of Mr. Cang, the prince is no different from a young child, so naturally he is no different. However, the prince is the prince after all, and Mr. Cang didn't dare to go too far, so he let it go. ”

"It seems that I will not be able to choose the path of the prince in the future. ”

Tang Yuan smiled slightly and said, "What about the other princes?"

"Headed by the crown prince, assisted by the eighth prince, and with many ministers, it is the strongest force in the court, whether in the rivers and lakes or in the court, the prince's party deserves to be the strongest. ”

Zi Yan's expression was solemn, and she continued: "There are also the three princes as the leader, the seventh princes, and the fourteenth princes follow the left and right, and the strength is the weakest;

Led by the four princes, the six princes and the thirteenth princes followed, and their strength was not weaker than that of the crown prince, all because the uncle of the four princes, Luan Hongzhen, was the supreme general of the capital garrison, and he had 200,000 troops to guard the safety of the capital and was loyal.

Moreover, he himself is a peak powerhouse in the Transformation God Realm, only one step away from the True God Realm, and he is only in his forties, and he is highly praised by the Cangxing Dynasty. ”

"It's strange. ”

Tang Yuan was surprised and said: "The emperor is relieved to let Luan Hongzhen control the army, and the key four princes are involved in the battle for succession, and they are not afraid of arousing suspicion and being sent out of the capital." At that time, it was really out of the throne. ”

"This matter can be traced back to the Qianhuang expedition to a foreign race, when he almost died, it was Luan Hongzhen who sacrificed his life to save the emperor, and since then he has been on the rise, and put the safety of the capital in his hands, maybe there are some other reasons, which are not known to outsiders. ”

The secrets were said in Zi Yan's mouth, which gave Tang Yuan a preliminary understanding of the situation between the DPRK and China, and his eyes were not as dark as before.

"In addition to these three princes, the other princes either took refuge, or were drunk and dreamed of death, cultivated their sentiments, and then had no chance with the throne. ”

Zi Yan said: "How fierce is the seizure of the heir now, and how tragic it will be when the new emperor ascends the throne." Only one of these three parties can be left, everyone else will die, and the new emperor will definitely have a bloodbath. ”

Presumably, the emperor also knew, but he didn't stop it, which means that he was not very satisfied with the crown prince. ”

Tang Yuan pondered for a while, and suddenly said, "This is similar to raising Gu, and the strongest person is selected to succeed to the throne. ”

"Who knows?"

Zi Yan said indifferently: "Anyway, they are all the sons of the Emperor, and if they die, they will die, so it's not a big deal." ”

"According to what you say, will the Eighth Prince really be involved in this account book? ”

Tang Yuan recalled the system task and vaguely guessed.

After all, if there is no royal involvement, the Supreme Alliance has only been trafficking in illicit salt and has not been discovered, and the difficulty can be imagined.
