Yuan Ziyan's eyes widened.

Isn't he optimistic about Huo Yuting?

Is it impossible for Huo Yuting to become the crown prince at all? How can Huo Yuting be allowed to compete for the position of the crown prince again?

"Fight for the crown prince?" everyone looked over.

Li Chengkong said: "Why can't you fight?"

Huo Yuting shook his head: "It's impossible!"

"Even if it is impossible, we must let others know that the spirit of our Xian Wangfu is not broken, and the ambition is still there, which can also lift the spirits of the people of the palace. ”

"...... like this"

Huo Yuting knew that the palace was now lifeless, and everyone was drained of their spirits and walking corpses.

If it lifts their spirits, that's fine.

"It's too dangerous to compete for the crown prince's position. Mei Jiang said: "It will definitely become the target of everyone." ”

Li Chengkong smiled: "It's not a target now?"

At this moment, Zhang Tianning's voice came from outside: "Shizi ......"

"Come in and talk. Huo Yuting snorted.

Zhang Tianning walked in lightly and saluted Dugu Shuming and Mei Jiang: "Princess, Princess Mei, Shizi, there is news from below, our two silk boats have been robbed." ”

"Where is it?" Huo Yuting's face sank.

The silk ships were ships that carried silk, each worth more than 100,000 taels, and the loss of two ships of silk plus two ships was worth nearly 300,000 taels.

"Upper reaches of the Luling River. Zhang Tianning bowed down and said, "It should be the King of Luling who did it!"

"King Luling!" Huo Yuting gritted his teeth.

Mei Jiang said: "Princess, the king of Luling is a prince with a different surname, who is good at water warfare, and has made great achievements and has been crowned the prince." ”

"To which house?"

"Originally, it was from our Xian Wang's Mansion. Mei Jiang said.

Dugu Shuming said: "This is to switch to others and vote for the name!"

Mei Jiang said: "The slave who betrays the master!"

Huo Yuting gritted his teeth and said, "If you can't teach him a hard lesson, I'm afraid where is the majesty of our Xianwang Mansion?"

"How do you teach a lesson?" Dugu Shuming asked.

Huo Yuting's face was cloudy, and after thinking for a while, he finally shook his head.

King Xian's Mansion has no way to take King Luling.

Originally, it was not a subordinate relationship, but it was just because the Xianwang Mansion was a nameless prince's mansion and took refuge in it, but this kind of refuge has no name.

Therefore, there is no way to say that they betrayed, it can only be said that they knew the current affairs and changed their position in time.

Mei Jiang said: "What is worrying now is that the Luling River is the only way for our silk boats, if he has been like this......"

Dugu Shuming asked: "Maybe find out who he is taking refuge with now?"

"I'm afraid it's not that easy. Mei Jiang shook his head: "Before the position of the crown prince is clear, he will not reveal which side he has taken to, but he must have betrayed us!"

"Let's go to the table first. Li Cheng said emptyly.

Dugu Shuming nodded lightly: "After the table, see how the emperor decides, if you agree, then take care of this King of Luling, if the emperor does not agree, presumably King Luling knows what to do." ”

Huo Yuting coldly spit out three words: "King Luling!"

If the emperor's grandfather agrees to go to the border by himself, then he will completely control an elite army, and if he has elite soldiers in hand, he will clean up the king of Luling when the time comes!

——

A day later, the emperor dismissed his recital.

He couldn't leave Tianjing to go to Zhenbei City and continue to stay in Tianjing, which gave the Xian Wangfu a great encouragement.

This means that Huo Yuting is not hopeless, and the position of the crown prince can also be contested.

The next day, the silk boat on the Luling River was found, and the personnel were not damaged, and the silk was not damaged.

Hearing this news, Huo Yuting was not only unhappy, but became more and more angry, and really had the heart to compete for the position.

He completely understood that if the battle for the throne does not advance, he will retreat, and if he does not fight, he will have to fight!

If you don't fight, you will not only be a Luling king, but there will be more betrayers.

There are a number of industries in the Xianwangfu, and once the neck is stuck and the income is sharply reduced, the Xianwangfu will also decline.

It is better to turn from prosperity to decline than not to prosper, and he can't bear that kind of gap.

He wants to revive the Xianwang Mansion and seize the crown prince.

In the evening, the sun sets in the west.

The crowd gathered again in the back garden.

Li Chengkong said: "The prince, you are fighting for the crown prince, not to really be the prince, nor to be the prince, but only to use it as a step into the body, and when the time comes, you will see the situation and bet on it, so as to win the greatest benefit for yourself!"

"Help someone else take the prince?" Huo Yuting said reluctantly: "Why can't I be the prince?"

Li Chengkong glanced at Yuan Ziyan.

Yuan Ziyan repeated his previous analysis, and said it in a subtle and eloquent manner.

Huo Yuting's face became more and more gloomy.

He knew that these reasons were not wrong, but he didn't want to admit it, he didn't want to accept it, maybe there was a glimmer of hope.

Li Chengkong said: "If we fight, they will see it as a threat, and we will give up halfway and switch to a certain prince, we will be valued, if we don't fight, I'm afraid no one will pay attention to it." ”

"Which prince is more hopeful?" Dugu Shuming said: "Which prince is stronger and more emperorly?"

Mei Jiang frowned: "I'm afraid it's King Hua, but King Hua has always been on the same page as our Xian Wang's Mansion, and besides, I ...... last time."

She glanced at Yuan Ziyan.

King Xian's Mansion repeatedly slapped King Hua's face, and this feud has become even bigger, and now he is taking refuge in King Hua, and King Hua will not accept it.

Li Chengkong smiled: "Then King Hua." ”

"Hmm——?" Mei Jiang sank his face.

Huo Yuting snorted: "If you paste it and it is rejected, then the face of our Xian Wangfu will be disgraced!"

His heart was full of reluctance and reluctance.

Why can't you become a prince yourself?

What if the emperor's grandfather suddenly had a whimsical idea and really wanted to make himself the crown prince?

Dugu Shuming said: "Shizi, you have passed through the matter of King Luling, and you haven't woken up yet?"

Huo Yuting was silent.

This time, the matter of King Luling was very exciting to him, because he couldn't do anything about King Luling.

Dugu Shuming shook his head and sighed, "Our Xianwang Mansion is actually very weak, now it's just a strong outsider, it's useless to have purple smoke to hold it, this time it's a silk ship, what about the next time? What about the mining ship? There is also a salt ship......

Huo Yuting's face became more and more ugly.

Mei Jiang said: "But if he takes refuge in Lord Hua, what if he wants to swallow our Xian Wangfu?"

Dugu Shuming said coldly: "Then he has to have such a big appetite, and he has to think about the consequences of doing this, who would dare to take refuge in him and serve him?...... We were opponents with him and once we came to him, it was a great opportunity for him to show his mind and we could benefit from it. ”

She was talking about the analysis of the two with Li Chengkong.

If you want to maintain the Xian Wangfu, it is the best way to take refuge in other palaces, otherwise it will become the target of public criticism and it will be difficult to preserve.

The emperor's care is unreliable, and Zongzheng's promises are not reliable, only his own strength can do it.

It is an indisputable fact that the strength of the Kexian Palace's Mansion has weakened.

And as a princess from a foreign country, she has no connections and no power here, how can she develop the Xian Wangfu?

With a group of top-notch guards?

At most, it is just to protect his own safety and the safety of the Xianwang Mansion, and he cannot prevent the decline of the Xianwang Mansion.

The only way to take advantage of the situation is to take advantage of

Borrowing the power of the emperor and borrowing the power of other palaces, otherwise, the Xian Wangfu will soon fall apart from the inside out.

She said slowly: "The first step is to deal with King Luling first!"
