"Are you also worried about the three major families than the other princes?" Su Junbao asked Xue Mingfei and said.

"Yes, when Your Majesty was still alive, he was already unable to control their hegemony, and the reason why he delayed the position of monarch for a long time, but left it to the Central Empire to choose, I think this is because of this!" Xue Mingfei replied.

She brought the little prince back to participate in the selection, just with a courage to survive, desperately fighting, in fact, there was no plan at all in her heart, and she knew that there was little hope.

"That's actually a good thing for us!" Su Junbao suddenly smiled and said.

"A good thing?"

Concubine Xue Ming was puzzled, the ministers were in charge, what could this be a good thing?

"It's both a good thing and a bad thing, and for now, it's good for us to take the throne!" Su Junbao said.

"Tell me about it!" Concubine Xue Ming looked at him.

"First of all, each of these three families supports a prince, in fact, they just want to cultivate a puppet at their mercy, the first king and they didn't go to allegiance, let alone the new king, as for who this puppet is, they don't care, as long as they can listen to their own words. Secondly, the other party is not a gang, they want to get rid of your mother and son is only one of them, but between the three of them, I am afraid that it will fight more fiercely, the threat that your mother and son can pose to them is not as big as the other party's mutual strength, the so-called snipe and clam fight, the fisherman profits, they fight, is a chance for us to win. Su Junbao said.

"Oh?" Xue Mingfei still didn't seem to understand.

"It's not hard to understand!"

Su Junbao smiled: "Think about it, if they are in a group, or we are facing the competition of other princes, the situation is indeed different, but between those families and their respective princes, it is just a subtle relationship of mutual use, they can change hands at any time, and between the three major families, it is a hostile competition between each other, they definitely do not want the prince supported by the other party to take the throne, the best first choice is of course the prince they support, but when there is really no way, their best second choice, Instead, he became a neutral little prince and abandoned his backward master. ”

"Because the reason is very simple, it is better to support a puppet monarch to ascend to the throne than to eradicate himself after letting the enemy gain power. Jointly support a neutral little prince, so that at least the three families can maintain a balanced situation, but once a certain prince ascends the throne, then the other two families are waiting to be suppressed and eradicated, and then they can only avoid such a doom by fully supporting the little prince on the throne, so I said that the current situation is favorable to us. ”

"You're saying that once there is no hope of winning in the selection, the two will turn around and support us?" Xue Mingfei seemed to understand something.

"That's right, but the premise of all this is that the little prince can firmly occupy the first place and take the initiative in the selection, otherwise everything is empty talk!" Su Junbao said.

"If he can occupy the first place, the other two backward families will have a reason to support him, and with the support of the other two families, he will be able to defeat the last remaining contender, otherwise with the strength of your mother and son, even if he has the ability to win the first place, he will not be able to ascend the throne, they will try their best to stop it, these two prerequisites are not enough, it depends on how much ability they have!" Su Junbao said.

"Then I have to rely on Su Gongzi to cultivate my son more!"

Concubine Xue Ming had a bright smile on her face, listening to the other party's analysis, she was like seeing light in the dark and knowing what to go.

Su Junbao also nodded: "There are still three or four months before the beginning of spring, during this time, I will first help him lay a good foundation for martial arts cultivation, in fact, most of the selection procedures in the world are similar, the first choice is nothing more than talent and martial arts competition, as long as you can take the lead in the first round, then the next chess will be easy to go!" ”

After thinking about it, he said again: "Actually, I am more worried that after he ascended the throne, according to the rules of the Central Empire, all vassal countries are subject to it, and the change of monarchs is strictly controlled by it.

Once the king of a subject country has no heir, either his fief is taken back by the First Empire, a new monarch is appointed by the First Empire, or it is annexed by another subject. ”

"In this situation, the little prince is the nominal monarch of the Fenglan Kingdom, although the three powerful ministers control the government, they can't do anything to him, and even before they are sure that they can take his place, your mother and son must live well, otherwise they will have to wait for the new master, and they will no longer be able to be powerful, or be annexed and eradicated by the monarchs of other vassal countries."

"Although you can survive for a while, you will always be puppets, and I am afraid that this situation will not last long, as long as they find a suitable opportunity, you are still lambs to the slaughter, but if we want to deal with and eradicate them, driven by interests, they will definitely be on the same side at that time, which is much more difficult than using them to fight with each other to seize the throne!"

"Take it one step at a time!" Concubine Xue Ming seemed to be very open: "At least take the throne, my son and I can live first, you are so smart, there will always be a way in the future!" ”

Hearing this, Su Junbao smiled bitterly in his heart, he just wanted to find a reliable support partner for Xiaoxi and them, but he didn't want to take care of so many things, but this woman seemed to push everything to him to do, and she was a hands-off shopkeeper.

But think about it, she is a powerless side concubine in the palace, living by men, and now she is strong, but she is just a mother who is hard, once she finds someone who can be trusted, her weak and dependent side of others will be shown again.

Su Junbao wants to teach Xi Yan Guiyi to practice martial arts, the inn is definitely not suitable, and there are many people here, two days later, they moved to a civilian house to live, Su Junbao is usually used to living in the civilian area, familiar with the way, what kind of house to find, you can find it soon, the landlord is an old lady, after a few words, he left.

In the afternoon, Su Junbao drove the car to pick up Xiaoxi and the others, and they all looked at their new home curiously, if it was unexpected, they would live here for a few months, or even longer.

This is similar to the house that Su Junbao lived in before, but it is bigger, there are more rooms, and there is a small courtyard, which is very important, in terms of their practice, the reason why Su Junbao likes this house is that the wall courtyard is high and deep, there are few residents nearby, and those wealthy families rarely come here.

They tidied up and vacated one of the rooms as a classroom, Su Junbao not only taught Yan Guiyi, but also Xiaoxi and them, anyway, there was nowhere to go in winter, so they just used it to pass the time.
