From the mouth of the old eunuch Wei Gong, Xiang Que learned from them what the situation was in the imperial city now.Emperor Yan's retreat did not come out of the Great Dao of Understanding, and the people sent by Yan Ruyu to ask for help were pressed at the gate of the city, and after the news did not reach the imperial city, the most powerful and competitive faction led by the eldest prince was beginning to persuade the people of the eldest princess's lineage to switch to their own camp.The three princes and the eldest princess all have the strength to compete for the throne, so naturally they have to have their own faction, otherwise it is impossible to compete alone.Yan Ruyu said that the strength of the eldest prince is slightly stronger than her, and thirty percent of the hundred officials in the imperial city of Dashang support him, both civil and military officials, as for himself, he probably accounts for less than two and a half percent, and the remaining part is divided by the other two princes, and one percent is neutral, and now Yan Ruyu is trapped in the blessed land of Tianchi Mountain and cannot return, the lobbying of the great prince has obviously had an effect, and almost half of her camp has corrected and returned to evil.Hearing this news, Yan Ruyu and Wei Gong's faces were not very good-looking, if she came back for a period of time, it is estimated that all the ministers who supported her would have to defect, and even if she could return to Dashang, she would undoubtedly become a single commander.The atmosphere was a bit dignified, which was very unfavorable to Yan Ruyu.Although a large number of people from Qingshan and Qingyun Sect followed behind, and they could reach the Great Shang Realm in three days, it didn't mean that she could sit firmly on the throne when she came to the reinforcements, although the two sects did come to play the role of thugs, but it could not be said that Yan Ruyu killed a few princes, and the position of the empress was stable, which would involve a problem of morality and rules.Grabbing the throne and attacking the sect are two different things, the latter doesn't need to think too much, winning is winning, and then there is no more.But to snatch the throne, you first need a justifiable reason and a name, throughout history, how many people who have robbed the throne will try to find all kinds of high-sounding reasons for themselves, at least people can't find anything wrong on the surface, just like Li Shimin killed his brother and imprisoned his father to sit on the throne, he also had to say something like "buddy is in accordance with the will of heaven".Yan Ruyu is the same, it is impossible for her to directly let the thugs of Qingshan and Qingyun Sect destroy several princes and their affiliated forces, then the entire Great Shang will be paralyzed, and Emperor Yan will not agree.The fight must be a fight, the premise is that there must be some reasons, at least Yan Ruyu must be allowed to stand in the perspective of righteousness, and a large part of the courtiers must support her.Xiang Que was very melancholy, he was very annoyed by this kind of troublesome thing that required a lot of brains to think, he was already lazy and used to it after coming to the Cave Heaven Blessed Land, and felt that this was a world where the strong were respected, as long as they were strong enough and their fists were hard enough.In fact, many usurpers in history have the strength to kill the emperor directly and then ascend to the throne themselves, but they can't do this, the emperor is dead, the public opinion and the ministers do not agree, and it is useless for you to grab this position.Xiang Que said quietly: "Directly capture your Great Shang Imperial City and rob your Lao Tzu's position?"
”Yan Ruyu looked at him, shook his head very seriously, and said: "Definitely not, aside from the reasons mentioned before, there is also the most important factor, which is that we can't do this" "What?
”Yan Ruyu looked at the direction of the imperial city and said: "There has always been a saying in the Great Shang Imperial City, it may also be a legend, and no one knows whether it is true or false, after all, no one has ever verified it, and only every emperor knows its true details, that is, there is a wisp of the soul of the ancestor of the Yan family stored in the Great Shang Palace, once there is a major change in the Great Shang, such as someone usurping the throne and seizing the dynasty, the ancestor will manifest" "My ancestor is the first ancestor of the Yan royal family, and later the feather flew into an immortal and went to the upper realm" Duke Wei then nodded and said: "When I was in the palace with the noble concubine, I once happened to see His Majesty worship the ancestors and he once said a sentence, that is, no matter what kind of changes happen to the Great Shang, as long as the ancestors appear to the Great Shang, the world will be peaceful......"
Yan Ruyu continued: "I have inquired with my father many times, but he didn't directly tell me what the reason was, maybe once he was a little annoyed by my question, he said that the ancestor has actually been looking at Dashang, not in the sky, but he is watching in Dashang" Xiang Que glanced at Yan Ruyu, when he was intercepted by the people of Taiping Villa outside the water city, the other party once said that snatching Yan Ruyu was to rob her to match a seed, Yan's family is an immortal bloodline, and Yan Ruyu's body contains the most majestic bloodline power, and later Emperor Yan went to the rescue, and he didn't see how worried he was when he didn't bring anyone back.Xiang Que sighed, rubbed his head and said: "What if we change the strategy, let's not fight for the time being, set out the carriage and horses, and then I will go to talk to Emperor Yan, and use Qingshan and Qingyun as allies or backing of the big merchants as the price of negotiation, in exchange for you ascending to the throne of the big merchants, I wonder if he can agree?"
”"I think it's enough, first of all, my father is in the retreat and can break the avenue, if he doesn't break it, he won't get out, and secondly, if you come to him like this, with his temperament, he may think that you are using Qingshan and Qingyun to threaten him, and he will not agree, my father's temperament is like this, he will conform to his own will, and will not be swayed by others.And ......"
Yan Ruyu spread her hands and said helplessly: "Qingshan and Qingyun are very strong now, but after all, they are a little far away from Dashang, if they are closer, it may be easier to say, and you have one thing that you don't know very well, do you know who the mother of the eldest prince is?"
”Xiang Que suddenly realized that there was a deep meaning behind these words: "Isn't it a simple character?
”"Of course it's not simple, the mother of the great prince, the queen of the dynasty is the former saint daughter of the Taixu Palace, the daughter of the hall master, you said that Qingshan and Qingyun can become the backing and allies of the Great Shang, but the Taixu Palace has always been, do you think my father and the emperor will make any choice in this matter?
I think he should value the Taixu Palace a little more, after all, the other party is just a stone's throw away from us" This is a bit complicated, the background of the eldest prince is a little more profound, he is the identity of the eldest son, and he is very supported in Dashang, plus the origin of his queen mother, which point is a plus point for him to compete for the throne, if you want to look at it like this, Yan Ruyu's chances of winning will be directly suppressed a lot.Unless the Great Prince suddenly dies!
