Obviously, at this moment, the eldest prince also figured out the strangeness and understood the truth.

If the prince and the emperor are placed at both ends of the scale, then the weight of any prince is insignificant to King Yan.

But if on the other side of the scale, it is not the prince who is on the throne, but the mountains and rivers who have been loyal to King Yan for generations, the soldiers who have exchanged the glory of the King Yan family with generations of heroic souls, and the women who have sent their fathers, husbands, and sons to the battlefield from generation to generation and survived only on meager salaries... So how should he choose?

If the contemporary King Yan is a meat eater who only has his own glory and wealth, and ignores the lives of his subordinates, then this concept may not exist.

However, the royal family's historical miracles have made them strive for excellence, and the eight kings with different surnames selected are all dragons and phoenixes among people.

"That's so... Unexpectedly... That's it!" the eldest prince was still in deep shock.

It is really because the eight kings with different surnames are unshakable, and the iron that cannot be betrayed is deep-rooted.

And King Yan, one of the eight kings with different surnames, is one of the representatives.

At this time, when the eldest prince heard that there was indeed a way to shake the king of Yan and bring the king of Yan... When the entire Shanhe Army was brought under its banner, the whole person fell into a state of numbness.

It's like... is about to complete a special achievement that has been impossible for all generations of princes.

Lin Xi knew that the excitement of the eldest prince at this time was destined to only be temporary.

The matter of extending the king, whether it is successful or not, the probability is still between five and five.

Even if it is done, if the eldest prince sits on the throne, how will he look at King Yan and the eight kings with different surnames?

Things are different now.

At this time, the eldest prince is the prince, and he needs the power of the king with a different surname to help, and even the investment of the king with a different surname can become a strange soldier that no one expected.

But if the eldest prince becomes the emperor, he should doubt the loyalty of the eight kings with different surnames.

Because of the loyalty betrayed, it has lost its purity.

Perhaps King Yan's betrayal is the cornerstone of the eight kings with different surnames who have been here for a long time and rest with the country.

If King Yan had taken this into account, perhaps... Betrayal also requires more chips, more pressure.

Of course, at this time, Lin Xi must erect a reliable image in the heart of the eldest prince.

Therefore, he will not inform him about this concern for the time being.

"Sir, really... I can really take that... "At this time, the eldest prince still didn't believe that such an adventure was actually around him, but he never knew it.

Lin Xi shook his head: "No, Your Highness, you only have half a chance. But half is enough... Isn't it?"

"What's more, half of the chance, we can find a way to do eighty or even ninety percent, it's up to you how to do it. For example... Find a way, let King Yan see with his own eyes, how the current family members of the mountains and rivers army are struggling to survive, how all the men in the family have died, and the only remaining orphans and widows are bullied and struggling to death... ”

"These were the burdens that crushed his inner defenses. ”

Lin Xi is like a devil... He's a heavenly demon, guiding the prince step by step.

Of course, at this time, we should also rejoice that the eldest prince is not a moral gentleman.

He is a man who will do anything for the sake of power.

Therefore, not only did there not have the slightest resistance to Lin Xi's plan, but under Lin Xi's 'suggestion', more comical operations surged in his heart.

"Of course, there is only one King Yan, and there is no guarantee that Your Highness will win. ”

"So, you need to keep increasing your stacks. ”

"After all, when Taizu set the policy of the Eight Kings to control the country, he had already thought of a way to deal with the Eight Kings' rebellion. For example, King Yan's mountain and river army is all supported by the household, and King Yan's own land is simply not enough to feed so many mountain and river iron horses. And once there is an abnormality in the transfer of grain and grass, the household department will react. ”

"If you want to enter Beijing and help His Highness succeed, you have to cross the territory of King Xiao and King Jun along the way, and the two kings join forces... It was the mountains and rivers that roared the world back then, and it was difficult to break the city even if I was afraid, and it was a long drive straight in. Therefore, even if King Yan is subdued, the real help he can get is very limited. More of it, it's deterrence... With King Yan, he can only contain some areas and prevent the armies in these areas from entering King Qin. Lin Xi poured another basin of cold water on the eldest prince.

It's a must.

It is necessary to make the eldest prince pay attention to who is the key to his success.

lest he get an idea, he crossed the river and demolished the bridge.

A master who has no discipline can communicate without obstacles. However, it is also difficult to fully protect one's own rights and interests.

"Moreover, once there is an incident, if the mountains and rivers can't come to help quickly, His Highness will be in a state of isolation and helplessness, and when the time comes... Just take down Your Highness... That's it. ”

"Of course, His Highness can also shrink to the north and slowly draw it. It's just that although King Yan has heavy troops, this era is outdated, and there is no food, grass, and floating wealth, and he is far away from the sea... There is no potential for development, and it is not the best policy. Lin Xi continued to fight the Great Prince.

When the eldest prince heard this, he immediately panicked.

He had completely mastered the rhythm of the conversation by Lin Xi.

Unconsciously, he entered the ideological cage that Lin Xi had compiled for him, completely ignoring that he actually had other possibilities.

For example... Why did the rebellion have to be so fierce?

Why can't it be fought for through more formal channels?

Although from Lin Xi's mouth, it is unlikely that he will succeed to the throne normally now.

But if luck strikes... It's not impossible.

For example... If the current emperor suddenly becomes seriously ill, he will die soon.

In this special case, the secret accumulation of power by the eldest prince is not a subtraction but a plus.

Because an ambitious, capable, and able successor who can control the court is the best choice for the old emperor who is about to die of illness.

Of course, luck is required to achieve the above conditions.

And luck is the most unreliable.

It is rumored that there are not no families who try to use the magic system to create a 'good luck' setting for themselves, but in the end they all perished from some ridiculous 'bad luck'.

The human heart is the most difficult to fathom, and it is also the most complex and changeable.

That's why there is a saying that the simpler, the more intuitive the trick, the safer, and the easier it is to concrete.

"So... In this case, what should I do? Please save me!" The eldest prince lost his eyes, and then bowed deeply to Lin Xi.

He was completely impressed by Lin Xi's talent.

Of course... To be more precise, he was brainwashed by Lin Xi.

Among them, Lin Xi only made a little use of the strange skills he mastered, and did not rely too much on it.

The important thing is that Lin Xi himself is a genius!
