Chapter 15 Analysis of Forces
Ye Qingchen and Gu Qi released their suspicions, which made Ji Qingchen very happy, Gu Qi's explanation just now made him see the real talent of "Southern Madness", and clearly realized that if he wanted to compete for the position of prince, he could not lack a strategist like Gu Qi around him. At the same time, through the dialogue between Gu Qi and Ye Qingchen, he realized that his own uncle was also a not simple character before. Now he is weak, it is the time when he needs to recruit talents to enrich himself, and he finally has two strategists around him, so he naturally doesn't want to quarrel because the two of them used to have a little festival, so as not to affect his overall situation in the future, and he feels that this time back to King's Landing, the only people who can be used with confidence are Gu Qi and his uncle Ye Qingchen, if the two really have irreconcilable contradictions because of the previous festival, it will definitely affect the unity of his small group that is just a little Zou shaped, He had to carefully consider the future position of the two.
Now, seeing that the mustard that has been hidden in his heart for many years between the two has been lifted, his heart is also a lot easier.
"Uncle and Mr. Gu are really gratifying to be able to release their suspicions! At the banquet, Qingchen must pay more tribute to Uncle and Mr. Gu! He said aloud, happy from the bottom of his heart.
Gu Qi and Ye Qingchen's mood was also much more stable, and when they heard Ji Qingchen say this, they both showed a faint smile. The two of them saluted Ji Qingchen deeply, saying that they were a little reckless just now and asked Ji Qingchen not to blame, Ji Qingchen smiled indifferently and said that he understood. Then Gu Qi regained his serious expression just now, and continued to say to Ji Qingchen, "Your Highness, what Kai Zhi said just now is aimed at His Highness's attitude and guidelines for acting in the future, but since ancient times, the power struggle is either you live or I die, cruel and bloody, if there is no conspiracy and tricks, I'm afraid it can be?" Therefore, Kai Zhi came up with three strategies for His Highness's trip to King's Landing, and asked His Highness to consider it. ”
Gu Qi had already decided to follow Ji Qingchen, so he changed his name and called himself Kaizhi.
"Oh? Mr. Gu, please say, what are the three strategies? Ji Qingchen heard that Gu Qi had already had a strategy, and he suddenly came to his senses.
"But before talking about these three strategies, Kai Zhi also wants to ask Brother Zhong Kang to explain to us the current situation in King's Landing." Gu Qi said to Ye Qingchen.
Ye Qingchen knew that Gu Qi said this, he must have his own intentions, nodded slightly, groaned, and began to introduce the current situation of King's Landing City, in order to facilitate Ji Qingchen and Gu Qi to understand in more detail, he said it very carefully, and when he finished introducing the situation in King's Landing City, he found that this detailed explanation took a whole hour.
Through his introduction, Ji Qingchen had a more detailed understanding of the actual situation in King's Landing.
At this time, he realized that the current King's Landing City seemed to be calm, but in fact, it was already an undercurrent, and the princes had been fighting endlessly for the position of the East Palace.
Because with His Majesty's conquest of the world for decades, since the collapse of the Xishu Sword Gate Pass three years ago, the body has deteriorated, and it seems that he will not live for a few years, and the ministers of the DPRK and the central government have also written several times to suggest the establishment of the prince to no avail, which makes the position of the crown prince even more confusing, plus the princes of King's Landing are not fuel-efficient lamps, and they all focus on the position of the East Palace, and they do not spare any effort to fight endlessly, and do not hesitate to kill each other.
Therefore, there was a situation in which the eight kings competed for the crown prince in the mouth of the people.
These eight kings respectively refer to the Song Wang Ji Ping, the second prince of Dayan, and the Song Wang Party composed of the five princes Linjiang Wang Ji Ying, the sixth prince Changsha Wang Ji Yong and his seventh prince Ji Man, they are behind the support of the King of the King's Landing Wang, and the ministers of the court are headed by Wang You, the minister of the Ministry of Officials, and his son Dali Temple Cheng Wang Wenhe and the Imperial Envoy Zhang Fangping of the Left Capital of the Imperial Procuratorate, Zhao Deyan, the servant of the Ministry of Works, and Wenzhong, the waiter of the Criminal Department, are the backbone of the Song Wang Party, plus the military has Wei Quanxing, the head of the Northern Liao marching army, and others, It can be said that it is the strongest faction among the princes. And the Ningwang Party, which was mainly supported by the third prince Ning Wang Ji Hongchang, the uncle of Ning Wang Ji Hongchang, headed by Liu Pingyuan, the secretary of the military department of the dynasty, and Guo Xing, the secretary of the criminal department, and Shen Kui, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, and others, became the only force that could compete with the Song Wang Party because of the support of the Liu clan and the Ningzhou army. And those who supported the four princes, Lu Wang Jiwen, were the Lu Wang Party supported by Pei Wenju, the prime minister of the dynasty, and Tang Jian, the head of the household. And because the fourth prince Ji Wen is the ten sons of the Great Yan Emperor, who is brilliant in Chinese, and looks the most like a prince under the Emperor Majesty, the Great Yan Emperor likes Ji Wen very much, even without the support of the military, his strength should not be underestimated. Let's talk about the eighth prince Ji Qian, he was born to the queen mother, is the son-in-law, and the queen mother's maiden family is one of the seven great families of Dayan, Cui's family, with the support of Cui Jingsheng, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, the Taifu Wang Shihan, and the imperial envoy Zha Shenxing, the right capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the support of Jiang Rengui, the commander of the Reeb battalion in the military. The Eighth Prince also has a great chance of winning the position of the East Palace. The remaining ten princes Ji Yan, he was born to the Yang family, the most favored concubine of the Emperor Dayan today, and is only fourteen years old this year, but because of Yang Guifei's unfailing family, he accompanies the monarch all the year round, and the tenth prince Ji Zhao is also deeply favored by the Emperor of Dayan, and has the support of the seven great families of Dayan and the imperial uncle Ji Yun, Dali Temple Qing Yu Jing and others, and he is also a strong contender for the position of the East Palace.
Ji Qingchen quietly listened to Ye Qingchen's introduction, his brows furrowed, he didn't expect that he had only been away from King's Landing for ten years, and the strength of several brothers had developed so hugely, not only with the support of hundreds of civil and military officials, but also with the help of the eight great families of Dayan behind him.
The Seven Great Families of Dayan.
These are the eight aristocratic families that created the Dayan Dynasty and laid the foundation of the Dayan Dynasty for 800 years. In addition, after hundreds of years of development, they not only have a transcendent status in Dayan, but also have unfathomable strength. Especially in the past 100 years, the royal family of the Dayan Ji clan began to decline, but the eight great families are talented, and the children of the family are brave and good at fighting, gradually, the current situation has been formed, the children of the eight great families have infiltrated the military and political circles of Dayan, and their words and deeds have also begun to affect Dayan's national policy strategy.
That's why Ji Qingchen looked worried.
Because he thought that after returning to King's Landing, he would not only have to face a heavy blow from several brothers, but also face the pressure of the Eight Great Families step by step, and suddenly he felt that his pressure had doubled, and he found that he seemed a little small in front of these brothers.
Gu Qi glanced at Ji Qingchen, guessed what he was thinking, smiled loudly, and said, "Your Highness doesn't need to be overlooked, since Kai Zhi can let Brother Zhong Kang introduce the situation of King's Landing, he has already thought of a way to solve the current crisis, which is the upper, middle and lower three strategies that Kai Zhi just said, which are to take advantage of the situation, wait for the opportunity to move and compete. It's just that these three strategies have their own pros and cons, and it mainly depends on what kind of choice His Highness will make. ”
He said this sentence to look very confident, just like his title of "Southern Mania", and a little arrogant.
Ji Qingchen had already comprehended Gu Qi's great talent, and now hearing him say this, his heart suddenly felt a lot easier. He has already made up his mind to fight for the reserve, and he will not be discouraged because of the slightest difficulty in front of him. The reason why he frowned just now was because he found that there was not much time left for him, and he had reached a strength that was enough to compete with several brothers in a limited time, and he really didn't think of a solution. Now that he has Gu Qi's words, he has regained his former self-confidence, so he said to Gu Qi, "Then please ask Mr. Gu to explain these three strategies in detail!" ”
