Hearing Lei Ming's introduction to the current situation in the imperial capital, Kong Ming fell into deep thought for a while.

If it is said that the three princes of the Hu royal family really have the intention of seizing the heir, then the imperial capital will most likely enter an era of turmoil!

The Tian Yuan Continent has always respected the strong, and the Cangnan Empire is naturally no exception. In the Cangnan Empire, the succession to the throne has always been lived by the capable, and there is no so-called primogeniture system. Only the best disciples of the Hu royal family have always been qualified to sit on that golden throne!

The Cao family chose to expand their power to the imperial capital at this time, and they really seized the time!

If it is said that a certain prince wants to befriend the Cao family in order to strengthen the bargaining chips when he wins the throne, then once this prince succeeds in winning the throne, after he ascends the throne, the power of the Cao family will naturally rise, and it is not a problem to gain a firm foothold in the imperial capital.

I don't know if the Cao family chose to expand their power to the imperial capital at this time, is it a coincidence, or has a strategy in advance? If there is such a strategy in advance, then will it be the strange woman of the Cao family, Cao Jun'e, who formulated the plan?

What kind of performance the Cao family will have in the imperial capital is indeed worth paying attention to, but the top priority at the moment is to figure out the wishes of the Kong family and which prince is ready to support?

With the huge power of the Kong family and the huge prestige among the government and the opposition, once they decide to support a certain prince, then the chances of this prince will definitely increase greatly! However, if the Kong family really wants to make it clear that they support a certain prince, the other two princes will definitely feel great pressure, and maybe they will be forced to cooperate with the Cao family!

The power struggle has always been the most headache. Although with the power of the Kong family, even if they choose the wrong object of support, they don't need to worry about being settled by the autumn queen in the future, at most they just lose an opportunity to add icing on the cake. Moreover, this time there is really going to be a dispute over the heir, and the Kong family must pay more attention to this matter, because since the Cao family has come to the imperial capital, they will definitely participate in such a major event!

After thinking for a moment, Kong Ming opened his mouth and asked, "Regarding the appearance of the three princes one after another, does our Kong family have any moves?"

Lei Ming said: "The real secret matter, with the level of subordinates, is not yet accessible. However, it is reported that after the wedding of the Cao and Liu families ended that day, the head of the family had a separate meeting with the eldest prince! Moreover, recently, three elder meetings have been held in the family, and the subordinates have no way of knowing what was discussed, but the subordinates observed the whole family, and there was nothing special about them!

Kong Ming nodded, and probably figured out what the family's plans were.

Since there is nothing special about the family, I am afraid that this time the family's choice is to stay out of the matter!

Staying out of the way doesn't mean you're scared, it's a wise thing to do!

With the status of the Confucian family in the Cangnan Empire today, there is no need to use the battle for succession to expand the family's influence in the court. Anyway, no matter which prince is canonized as the prince, after ascending the throne in the future, there is a place where he needs to rely on the Kong family.

Moreover, it was precisely because the power of the Confucian family was too great that they could not show a strong interest in the battle for succession. Otherwise, it is really possible to arouse the suspicion of the Hu royal family against the Kong family!

Therefore, only staying out of the matter is the best way for the Kong family to show their loyalty to the Cangnan Empire!

No matter which of the three princes ascends the throne in the future, the Confucian family will still serve the empire loyally and continue to show the world the harmonious side of monarchs and ministers. ...,

It seems that the Kong family is really full of talents, and they have not made a wrong decision!

Thinking of this, Kong Ming finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The Kong family is not the Kong family in Cuenca City, so naturally there is no need for Kong Ming to work hard in everything. With such a large family, which has been among the top wealthy families of the empire for five hundred years, which of the heads of the family and the members of the Council of Elders in the past generations is not a human spirit? Naturally, they will fully consider the future of the family, and even if one person makes a mistake, he can correct it with the collective wisdom. What's more, the Kong family still has a few ancestors in charge, just like having the Dinghai Divine Needle, which is enough to make the whole family settle down.

As a descendant disciple of the Three Ancestors, Kong Ming is also a member of the Council of Elders, so he is naturally qualified to attend the Council of Elders. However, as long as the overall strategy of the Kong family does not make mistakes, there is no need for Kong Ming to be too comprehensive, and it is better to calm down and cultivate for now. If there is really something wrong, Kong Ming can directly ask the third ancestor for help from his old man, so that the Kong family will not suffer, right?

As for the three princes who really want to start a battle for succession, it is up to them to fight for it according to their abilities.

Whoever can win in the succession can more or less prove his ability, and assisting such an heir to the throne is also beneficial to the Cangnan Empire.

What's more, if the Kong family stays out of the matter, it can become a force to deter all parties, so that everyone will not go too far in the battle for succession. Otherwise, once the Kong family intervenes, it will definitely cause a drastic change in the situation!

Now, Kong Ming wants to analyze the final result of the battle between the three princes with the mentality of staying out of the matter.

The eldest prince Hu Ying, Kong Ming has seen it with his own eyes, and he can definitely be regarded as a hidden figure, and his ability is less than the so-called four imperial capitals, and he should be more than equal. Moreover, Hu Ying was able to calmly go to the wedding banquet of the Cao and Liu families, and then met Kong Fanshu alone, which is enough to show that he is good at dancing with long sleeves and is a delicate character. This kind of person is good at taking advantage of the situation, and if he finally wins the battle for succession, it will not be an accident.

As for the second prince Hu Xiong, although Kong Ming has not seen it, he can inspect the forbidden army on behalf of the royal family, which shows that he also has a very high status in the Hu royal family. What's more, judging from the rumors that Hu Xiong and Lei Zhanpeng were talking and laughing, I am afraid that this second prince has already received the support of the Lei family!

Although the power of the Lei family is not as strong as that of the Kong family and the Cao family, it is also a wealthy family in the imperial capital, a hereditary prince, and has mastered the most powerful military force in the imperial capital - the forbidden army!

But with the help of the forbidden army, if you want to defeat the second prince Hu Xiong, you can only rely on the right path, if you want to use force to engage in some crooked ways, but instead give Hu Xiong an excuse to give him a reason to be mad.

In short, the second prince, Hu Xiong, took advantage of the word "martial" in the battle for succession, and it was not easy to get him to admit defeat.

Speaking of the third prince Hu Hao, don't look at his age as younger than the two imperial brothers, but he should not be underestimated! After all, being able to preside over Enke on behalf of Emperor Hu De has already released a very obvious signal to the outside world, that is, this third prince must be extremely favored by his father and emperor, and he believes in his ability! Otherwise, how could he leave such an important matter of Enke to him to deal with?

Moreover, having presided over Enke is equivalent to having a group of protégés of the Son of Heaven, and he also has prestige in the eyes of scholars in the world, and even faintly regards the three princes as orthodox. No one can underestimate the strength of these pens, and as long as a few articles are thrown out at the right time, it will be enough to build momentum for Hu Hao and form an illusion that all the people will return to their hearts! When the time comes, the strength of verbal criticism and pen attack may even be better than that of real swords and real guns...,

It can be said that Hu Hao took advantage of the word "Wen", and he is absolutely capable of starting a battle for succession with his two imperial brothers.

Of course, the real key figure in the succession is still the current emperor, Hood the Great! Only when he makes the final decision can the struggle for the succession be ended. However, I don't know if Emperor Lu Daohud wanted to use the battle for succession to test the ability of the three princes, and did not make it clear who was most likely to inherit the throne. It is estimated that this battle for the heir will not be able to end in a short time.

After Kong Ming thought about it carefully, he felt that it was better to break through to the Yuan General Realm first for now. Only when your own strength is on a higher level can you have more right to speak. Moreover, the victory or defeat of the battle for the succession is not just based on the results of the competition between the bigwigs in the court, and the younger generation can also make their own strong voices. After all, the older generation of characters will slowly retreat into the background, and the young people will gradually come to the forefront! And these young people also have the right to choose who they are loyal to!

Among the four young men in the imperial capital, apart from Lei Zhanpeng, what kind of choice will the other three make? And what kind of performance will the Cao family Shuangying and the mysterious strange woman Cao Jun'e have in this turmoil of seizing the heir?

Things are really getting more and more interesting!

Kong Ming hoped that after he succeeded in attacking the realm of Yuan Jiang, this battle for the succession would be staged at the stage of high tide! At that time, Kong Ming would definitely make his voice heard, so that the people of the world would understand who was the real number one young talent in the imperial capital!

After finishing the conversation with Lei Ming, Kong Ming was going to meet the old man of the Third Ancestor, and then enter the retreat period again, if he didn't succeed in attacking the beginner Yuan General in one fell swoop, he would not be able to close the door! Of course, Kong Ming would also go to Kong Qingyun by the way, and hand over the top-level Heyuan Pill that had been refined to him. If Kong Qingyun can also be successfully promoted to the junior general, he should be able to become a big help for Kong Ming!

So, Kong Ming got up and went to the inner courtyard, and the person on duty he met on the way was Kong Qingyun!

Kong Qingyun had never been interested in the task on duty, but when he was a little bored, he saw Kong Ming, he immediately walked out of the sentry post and greeted him, and asked with a smile: "Have you finished your retreat?" I wonder if I can spare my vacation and find a time to go drinking with you again!"

Kong Ming smiled slightly, and did not answer, but casually threw a small porcelain bottle to Kong Qingyun.
