"Although you are not weak now, and you have the assistance of mythical beasts and puppet demons, and you have the support of Lingxiao Pavilion behind you, you still have to be careful when doing things. After all, there are mountains outside the mountains, and there are people outside the people!!" Ye Jingfeng is very cautious.
He looked at Ye Xiang and said: "No matter what you find, you must not be impulsive!!"
"I know." Ye Xiang nodded and then continued: "Before I go to those princes, I still need to understand some things."
"What do you want to know?" Ye Jingfeng looked at Ye Xiang and asked.
"In your eyes, which of these princes is better? Who do you think is most likely to become the future emperor of the Soaring Dragon Empire? Who do you most hope to become the emperor of the empire?" Ye Xiang asked.
"I really should tell you about these princes first. This way you can at least be prepared when dealing with them, and you won't be reckless and suffer a loss!" Ye Jingfeng thought for a while and then looked at Ye Xiang and said: "I am now
I’m here to tell you about the situation of these princes!!”
"Okay." Ye Xiang nodded quickly and said.
"Liu Zhaohui is the eldest prince. He has very good cultivation talent. He is almost forty years old and is already a warrior with nine-star martial arts strength. And when he was young, he often led troops to fight outside. The Flame Legion can
It is said that he brought it up single-handedly and is his most loyal protector and supporter. However, although he has some military talents,
, but his actions are a bit reckless. A person like this is barely qualified as a general guarding one side, but his talents as an emperor of a country are slightly insufficient." Ye Jingfeng thought for a while before continuing: "Although his power is now
He is no longer young, and many people support him, but I don’t think he is the best candidate to succeed the emperor."
"What about His Highness the Second Prince?" Ye Xiang asked quickly.
"His Royal Highness the Second Prince is very scheming and very popular in the court. Many ministers in the court have received help from him. In addition, he is modest and polite and controls the most elite Phoenix Legion in the empire, so his influence is
His strength is definitely not inferior to that of the eldest prince.
"Ye Jingfeng picked up the tea on the table and took a sip gently before continuing: "And recently he has been lobbying the army commanders. He also came to lobby me and promised heavy profits. I think he
The possibility of succeeding the future emperor is the greatest."
"What do you think of his character?" Ye Xiang thought for a while and then continued.
"This man has means, strategy, and is very cautious in doing things." Ye Jingfeng replied: "However, many of the suggestions or opinions he puts forward are obviously biased towards people who are close to him, and for those who are distant from him,
Regardless of whether what the other party did was right or wrong, he never expressed
Support. Although he seems to be very insightful on some small strategies, his views on some large-scale governance strategies are often very one-sided. The most important thing is that he is very tough on those who firmly do not support him.
So although many people don't support him, they don't dare to confront him head-on."
"Where is His Highness the Third Prince?" Ye Xiang continued to ask.
"The wife of the third prince Liu He is the daughter of Huangfu Lingyun, the commander of the Raging Thunder Legion. The Huangfu family has great influence in the empire. Huangfu Lingyun can now be said to be the most famous general in our Dragon Empire. In our empire's military, his
The influence is very great. Huangfu Lingyun's father, Huangfu Xiaotian, once served as the general marshal of our empire and made great contributions to the expansion of the empire's territory.
Credit. I don’t know how talented the third prince Liu He is in cultivation, but at this time his own strength is not very strong, and he has no experience in fighting on the battlefield, but he is still somewhat capable in handling some government affairs. Although at this time he is
The influence in the court is a little worse than that of the second prince, but it is not much different." After Ye Jingfeng finished speaking, he picked up the tea and took a sip.
"What is the relationship between the Phoenix Legion and the second prince?" Ye Xiang thought for a while and then asked.
"The second prince is very far-sighted. Ten years ago, he had been in the army for several years. At that time, he had established some meritorious deeds in the Phoenix Legion, which enabled him to have such a great influence in the court. Moreover, the second prince
His Highness also became a disciple of Sun Shu Changhong, the commander of the Phoenix Legion, and treated Sun Shu Changhong very well." After Ye Jingfeng finished speaking, he looked at Ye Xiang curiously and asked: "You seem to be very curious about this second prince?"
"It's nothing, I just want to ask for some clarification." Ye Xiang smiled slightly, picked up the tea on the table, took a sip, and then asked: "What about the seventh prince Liu Jinglong?"
"Liu Jinglong doesn't have much power at this time. Although he is very capable, he is still young after all. In a few years, he may be able to compete with his brothers, but at this time, regardless of his reputation, influence or...
The power in his hands is not enough to compete with his three brothers." Ye Jingfeng shook his head and said.
"Then why is he doing well now? Do the eldest prince and the others trust him?" Ye Xiang asked with some confusion: "Or has he joined a certain camp now?"
"He has not joined a certain camp, nor has he done anything. As early as last year, he had resigned from all positions in the court and stayed at home, just reading and having fun all day long. Although the eldest prince and the others have been guarding against him, he
There is no clue that he has fallen into the hands of his brothers, so he is doing well so far." Ye Jingfeng said with a smile: "Generally speaking, he is still relatively aware of current affairs. At this time, he will not join any camp.
By not doing anything, he was able to escape from the muddy water and be able to protect himself."
"Is he really capable of letting go of the imperial throne?" Ye Xiang looked at Ye Jingfeng and said with some doubt.
"It is said that those who know the current affairs are heroes. If you do something you know you cannot do, it will only bring disaster to yourself." Ye Jingfeng smiled slightly and said: "Under the current situation, it should be considered a wise move for him to do so."
"Where are the emperor's other sons?" Ye Xiang thought for a moment and then continued to ask.
"Some things have happened to the fourth prince, the sixth prince, and the eighth prince. These have all happened in recent years. You should have guessed some clues even if I don't tell you. The remaining two princes have been idle all day and have no skills.
At this time, the eldest prince and the second prince have planned to put him under house arrest." Ye Jingfeng shook his head helplessly before continuing: "The royal family has always had weak family ties, and there is nothing we can do about it."
"No matter what their outcome is, it will be the result of their greed for power. Although the outcome of these people will be tragic indeed if they fail, they are definitely not worthy of sympathy, because when they fight for power, they have the wealth of countless people in their hands.
Blood." Ye Xiang said lightly.
"Although your words are straightforward, they do make sense." Ye Jingfeng nodded and said.
"If you look at it this way, His Highness the Seventh Prince is indeed something extraordinary." Ye Xiang picked up the tea, took a sip and said, "It's not easy for him to be able to save his life and stay out of the incident.
"
"The situation of the princes is like this. What you do next depends on you." Ye Jingfeng looked at Ye Xiang with a slight smile and said: "Although I haven't been with you for too long, from the few things you made
It’s not difficult for me to see your ability in this matter. Just do what you think you should do!!”
After leaving Ye Jingfeng's study, Ye Xiang returned to the house alone, thinking about his next move.
Just based on what Ye Jingfeng said about the second prince's character, Ye Xiang had already determined that it was impossible to become friends with this second prince.
Although Ye Jingfeng did not say what a bad person the second prince was, Ye Xiang had already captured a lot of information from Ye Jingfeng's words.
Ye Xiang knew from Ye Jingfeng's words: This second prince has plans, ambitions, strategies, and means.
As an emperor, these seem to be indispensable.
However, in Ye Xiang's view, as an emperor, no matter what you do, you can't be too scheming, you can't do anything just for yourself, let alone use some extremely despicable means to achieve your goals.
Although such people have talents, strategies, and means, they lack the most important thing that an emperor should have.
mind.
As an emperor, you must have a mind that can accommodate all rivers and rivers, and you must have the courage to swallow up mountains and rivers with your breath.
Only such an emperor can appoint talented people, be less suspicious, and do as little as possible after accomplishing great things.
Only by supporting such an emperor would Ye Xiang have the chance to successfully rebuild the East Lingxiao Pavilion in the future.
Obviously, the second prince is not a suitable candidate.
Of course, the most important reason why Ye Xiang believes that the second prince cannot become friends is not these, but because the second prince is most likely the one who designed to kill him and made Chu Lingfei almost leave him forever.
Based on this alone, Ye Xiang could not convince himself to let him go.
Although Ye Xiang could not determine which of these princes was the most generous, he could make comparisons from all aspects.
The most important thing about the person he wants to support is not how powerful that person is now, but whether the person is likely to bite him back in the future.
After sitting at the table and thinking about it for a long time, Ye Xiang picked up the tea on the table and drank it in one gulp: "It seems that now I have to go find him first!! As for the second prince, as long as I confirm that matter
, then he can only wait to be dealt with by me first!!"
