Chapter 456: The Fallen Prince
If the Ye family wants to take advantage of the situation, they must have a good performance in this battle of Lichu, otherwise, they will not be able to get rid of the control of the sect just by relying on the two Purple Mansions.
Now in Wuji Sect, the only people who are good friends with the Ye family are Wu Huai and Lin Tang Master, and there are also some foundations laid by Ye Shouyi in the middle of the sect. Old Ancestor Mu's appreciation, now it seems, is just that he is just using the Ye family as a knife, and he wants to use the Ye family to weaken the strength of the Great Elder.
Don't look at the previous Great Elder, there is no one thing to say in the sect, in fact, in the final analysis, there are more Purple Mansion monks under Elder Ling, as well as more than a dozen foundation building monks. On this basis, naturally many sect monks came to defect.
However, the battle of Ye Jiayun Lingfeng severely damaged Elder Ling's elite subordinates, and even his most favored son of the Purple Mansion died in this battle, which was undoubtedly a major loss for Elder Ling.
Of course, the loss is not only that, Mu Laozu is no longer on his side at this time, and even faintly has a tendency to help the Ye family. Those monks who originally wanted to be loyal in front of Elder Ling, seeing this scene, turned their sides one after another, watched from the wall, and no longer interfered.
In this way, Elder Ling was like a tiger that had lost its limbs, and his threat was greatly reduced. However, a hundred-legged insect, dead but not stiff, after all, Elder Ling has been operating in the sect for so many years, and it is not so easy for the Ye family to immediately bring down Elder Ling.
The most important thing is that Old Ancestor Mu has already spoken, so far, if Elder Ling hadn't made a bigger mistake, the Ye family would not be able to kill them all.
Being in the sect, he can't help himself, even if Ye Tongxuan has a lot of plans in his heart that he wants to carry out, he is subject to the sect, and he can't be implemented well.
"Patriarch, whether it is the eldest prince or the third prince, the emperor is afraid of it today, and I am afraid that he will not pass on the throne to these two as soon as possible." Ye Tongxuan explained.
Ye Tongxuan's explanation made Ye Yongzhang interested, raised his eyebrows slightly, and motioned for Ye Tongxuan to continue.
"Although the eldest prince is talented, he has a good background. But after all, it is a behemoth like a sect standing behind it, and if such a big sect is allowed to interfere in the management of the entire empire, there may be a risk that the Great Zhou will change hands in the future. Now that there are no officials in the court who are worried about such a situation, whether they can control the Northern Shadow Sect has become a key issue for Chuanwei. Ye Tongxuan said eloquently. Although he rarely left Xinghai County, he collected information on the situation in the Great Zhou Dynasty very early.
After all, his plan will not be limited to staying in the Purple Mansion realm, so it is also very necessary to collect information about the surrounding forces.
Ye Yongzhang nodded, "Indeed, His Majesty is a person who came out of the palace immediately, and he will definitely not allow the sect to interfere too much in the affairs of the empire. However, with only the current strength and cultivation of the Great Prince, it is very difficult to control the Northern Shadow Sect. ”
"The third prince does have a good prestige in the army, and he also has an army in his hands that can be mobilized, which is also his biggest reliance. Although the uncle of the third prince is a great general today. But after all, the big bonus to guard the border is a protective artery, and it is impossible to send too many troops back to the capital to help the three princes compete for the crown. Therefore, although the third prince seems to have heavy troops, he actually does not have many soldiers who can be mobilized. ”
"Tongxuan, your analysis is very reasonable, not to mention these princes, even if it is Your Majesty today, life is not easy. After the news of the establishment of the prince was released, the princes were ready to move, the dark tide was surging, and many court officials began to stand in line, which seriously affected the operation of the empire. The eldest prince, the third prince, all of them are thorns, if they are not settled, the entire Great Zhou will be shaken.
Therefore, Your Majesty now not only needs to choose the prince well, but also needs to properly settle the unsuccessful princes, so as not to make trouble for them, and it is not easy for Your Majesty to do it. Ye Yongzhang opened his mouth and said, since Ye Tongxuan is a family member, he will not hide his words, and directly make it clear.
Ye Tongxuan nodded, the current situation is indeed not optimistic, it is not so easy for the family to take the throne, in the final analysis, it is still necessary to raise the strength of the family.
"Tongxuan, do you have any thoughts now?" Ye Yongzhang asked.
Ye Tongxuan shook his head, "So far, our family's strength is not enough, so we can only obey the sect's arrangement for the time being." ”
However, what the Ye family didn't expect was that an accident changed the Ye family's situation.
"Nine Emperor Princes, if we go to Wuji Sect this time, can we really win them over?" A middle-aged man dressed as a Confucian asked uncertainly, his words full of suspicion. This person is none other than the Nine Emperors' brains, and one of the Nine Emperors' most trusted people at the moment.
The Nine Emperor Princes were silent for a while, and muttered: "To some extent, the Wuji Sect has an old relationship with me, even if it doesn't help us, karma won't embarrass us." Speaking of which, the Nine Emperors' own aura is a little insufficient, and it is obvious that he has no bottom in his heart.
Yun Ruoting sighed slightly, and didn't say anything, after all, the Nine Emperor Princes are now helpless, and it is excellent to have a force to rely on.
Although this Nine Emperor Princes is also one of many princes, it can be said to be the most miserable one, he lost his mother at a young age and lost the support of his mother's family, and the Nine Emperor Princes have no advantage in competing for the crown.
This time, the Nine Emperor Princes came to Wuji Sect, not to compete for the prince, but just to protect themselves. Now all the princes are coveting that highest position, but he just wants to have enough strength to protect himself, and he doesn't want to get involved in this whirlpool. He believed that there were many monks and forces who had the same idea as him, so he traveled to various places to lobby in the hope of strengthening his own power.
With enough strength, I can confidently choose not to stand in line and protect myself. However, it backfired, after all, the Nine Emperor Princes did not have a deep foundation, and at such a sensitive time, if they got too close to the Nine Emperor Princes, they would inevitably be labeled as the Nine Emperor Princes, and when the time came, they would not be able to get rid of it.
No matter how the Nine Emperor Princes understood and reasoned and moved with affection, they could not persuade these forces to join in. The Nine Emperors also ran into walls everywhere, and their mood couldn't help but be very low. Now Wuji Sect is the last stop of the Nine Emperor Princes, and if they fail again, the Nine Emperor Princes will not be able to return to the sky.
However, in the final analysis, the Nine Emperors are His Majesty's flesh and blood after all, and there are still some guards around him. There are about fifty horsemen in the group, and Yun Ruoting is guarded by the monks of the Purple Mansion, plus the identity of the prince, so there is no need to worry too much about safety when traveling in the Great Zhou.
However, just when the Nine Emperor Princes were about to pass through the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range and want to rush to the Wuji Sect, an accident happened.
