Because he is young and has good means and abilities, he has more prospects than the aging Emperor Nan Yan. There are also a large number of people in the Nan Yan Dynasty who support him, and it is only a matter of time before he ascends the throne and becomes emperor.
But this does not mean that he has no worries in Nanyan.
As long as Emperor Nan Yan still reigns, he will inevitably pose a threat to Murong Ye as he holds the dual responsibilities of being a monarch and a father.
The emperor is the emperor.
Even if it loses power, a skinny camel is still bigger than a horse.
If he insists on deposing the prince, Murong Ye will be restrained even if the officials object.
Unless he directly rebelled, killed his own father and ascended the throne, he would bear the eternal reputation of being a treasonous person. But Murong Ye was also a person who valued his reputation, so he would not do this easily unless he had to.
Therefore, in order to avoid this situation, and to have enough power to fight back when threatened by Emperor Nan Yan.
Murong Ye needs more powerful power.
There are two sources of power, one is the army and the other is weapons.
He has military power, but weapons are not enough.
Nanyan is a land of plains and water. There is not much iron ore in stock, and most of it is in the hands of the emperor. It is difficult for Murong Ye to get it. Without enough elite weapons and armor, the combat effectiveness of even the most powerful army will be reduced by half.
Therefore, both emotionally and logically, he needs a large amount of iron ore to strengthen himself - Nanyan does not have it in his own country, so he will find a way to get it from other countries!
Using Northern Qin's iron ore to strengthen oneself and weaken the enemy at the same time, is there anything better than this in the world?
Xiao Lingyue figured out these details after just a little thought.
"What a great idea." Zhan Beihan said with unclear meaning.
"Now is not the time to talk about this. I'll leave these two to you. I'll go look for the antidote." Xiao Lingyue motioned to the man covered in cold sweat to hand it over to Zhan Beihan for interrogation, while she was in the room.
Search everywhere.
This wing room is very large, with two rooms, inside and outside, and a small connected study room.
Xiao Lingyue was the first to focus on the inner room.
According to the habits of most people, important things tend to be hidden in the places closest to them.
Xiao Lingyue quickly searched the inner room, from the bedside to the cabinet to the wooden boxes on the ancient shelf.
But none.
She was not discouraged and walked into the study again.
There is a large rosewood table in the study room, and a whole side of rosewood bookshelves are filled with various books and decorations. At first glance, it does not look like a cabin on a ship, but more like an ordinary study room of a wealthy family.
There are pens, inks, paper and inkstones on the desk.
Xiao Lingyue checked everywhere and found nothing unusual, and quickly looked at the bookshelf.
To be honest, it is very unusual for a ship to have such a large bookshelf filled with books.
It is common for a ship to encounter wind and waves when sailing on the water, which is not as stable as on land.
Anyone with experience knows that reading on a boat is not a comfortable thing, and it is easy to get dizzy. The shelves are full of decorations. If you encounter strong winds and waves, aren't you afraid of getting your head smashed?
unless
These decorations are not just for looks, but have practical uses.
Xiao Lingyue's eyes flashed slightly, and she quickly walked to the bookshelf, carefully observed it from top to bottom, and suddenly reached out to a wooden Pixiu ornament.
Everything else on the shelf was more or less stained with dust.
There is not a trace of dust on this ornament, as if it has been touched by someone frequently and has been polished to a shiny finish.
