Compared to the blindly optimistic people of the King of Shu's Residence, Wen Yu was very calm.
These people of the King of Shu's Residence were all born in the wilderness, and almost 99% of them were warriors from the Bashu Path. They were indeed strong, but they lacked the ability to see the big picture.
This was not the time for the King of Shu's Residence to be happy. In the end, these people got carried away and did not know what to do.
Most importantly, even the King of Shu himself had this tendency. This was not a good thing.
Wen Yu's face revealed a trace of worry. Ji Yanxiu could be said to be very intelligent, but his only weakness was that he was too easily swayed by others.
In the past, when he was in the Bashu Path, Ji Yanxiu was not very confident. At that time, he did not think about how to ascend to the throne, but how to protect his life when the new emperor ascended the throne.
Later, it was Su Xin who gave Ji Yanxiu strength and told him how to fight for the throne. This also cheered Ji Yanxiu up. Whether it was his foresight or his methods, they were much more brilliant, and he was gradually approaching the level of a qualified prince.
However, as Ji Yanxiu's matters in Shengjing became more and more smooth, this caused him to become a little complacent. Especially with the brainless flattery of his subordinates, this made Ji Yanxiu even more confident that he would be able to sit on the throne.
Now that he heard Wen Yu pour cold water on him, Ji Yanxiu instinctively felt a little unhappy, especially because Wen Yu had mentioned Su Xin.
Last time, Su Xin refused to help Ji Yanxiu directly. Although Su Xin had already explained the reason to Ji Yanxiu, and Ji Yanxiu also felt that it was reasonable, Su Xin's attitude made Ji Yanxiu feel a little dissatisfied.
In fact, in the beginning, Ji Yanxiu could not muster up any confidence when facing Su Xin.
Although he was a prince of the Zhou Kingdom, Ji Yanxiu also knew that there were many princes who were stronger than him in the Zhou Kingdom. Once the new emperor ascended the throne, it would be a luxury for him to even want to be an idle Master.
However, as the Crown Prince and the others were crippled, he became stronger and stronger. Naturally, he became more and more confident.
He was a prince, and Su Xin was just a subject. In the end, it seemed like he couldn't do without Su Xin. This also made Ji Yanxiu instinctively resist.
However, resistance was resistance. Ji Yanxiu was not stupid. At this stage, it could be said that he could not leave Su Xin.
The Prince of Chen, Ji Yande, was originally the weakest among the princes. In the end, after he obtained Tang Xian's support, he immediately gained the strength to compete with the princes. Moreover, Su Xin's influence was much stronger than Tang Xian's. Of course, he couldn't offend him. Instead, he had to rope him in.
Moreover, with Su Xin's ability, even if he sat on the throne, he would still need to rely on Su Xin to help him lay down a foundation. Otherwise, his subordinates would not be capable enough. Even if he sat on the throne, there would not be many people who could really do things. There were still many areas where he needed to rely on Su Xin.
However, Lou Quanzhong, who was standing beside Ji Yanxiu, noticed the trace of dissatisfaction on Ji Yanxiu's face. He hurriedly said, "Eunuch Wen, you're wrong. The Xi Jian Pavilion and Runan's Shangguan Clan are indeed strong, but the problem is that they can't use their full strength now. How much weaker can our people be compared to them?
And that Su Xin, a ruler is a ruler, and a subject is a subject. In the end, he relied on the fact that he helped the King of Shu in the past and now doesn't take His Highness seriously. He simply doesn't know the rules!
Without Butcher Zhang, he still insists on eating furred pigs? This time, even without Su Xin's help, we can still help His Highness seize the throne. At that time, it will be Su Xin's turn to regret it! "
Wen Yu looked at Lou Quanzhong and snorted coldly, "Was the lesson last time not enough? Lord Su is now our ally. What's the meaning of you trying to sow discord? "
To be honest, Wen Yu wanted nothing more than to kill this idiot. It was because of Lou Quanzhong's flattery that His Highness the King of Shu became a little irrational.
If it weren't for the fact that Lou Quanzhong was really good at flattering people and could handle small matters properly, making Ji Yanxiu reluctant to kick him away, and that he had a good relationship with the martial artists of Sichuan Path, Wen Yu would have killed him long ago.
When Ji Yanxiu saw that Lou Quanzhong still wanted to say something, he directly scolded, "Enough, all of you, shut up!"
Ji Yanxiu was just a little carried away, but it wasn't that he didn't know what was good for him.
He also knew that although Wen Yu wasn't good at scheming and was better at using the knife in his hand to speak, Wen Yu had been born in the military before he was purified. He had once followed his maternal grandfather to help the Zhou Kingdom conquer the world. In terms of the overall situation, Wen Yu was much better than Lou Quanzhong.
Moreover, Wen Yu was loyal to him and was even willing to die for him. Therefore, Ji Yanxiu still explained to Wen Yu, "Eunuch Wen, it's not that This Prince doesn't want Lord Su to make a move, but Lord Su says that he's too big of a target and isn't willing to make a move now.
Therefore, we can only rely on ourselves for now. Eunuch Wen, why don't you tell us who is more suitable for us to make a move first? "
Lou Quanzhong, who was at the side, lowered his head and revealed a trace of resentment in his eyes. After all, he was an outsider. No matter how hard he tried, his position in Ji Yanxiu's heart couldn't be compared to Wen Yu.
Wen Yu thought about it and said, "A few of these princes can actually be eased. For example, Chen Wangji, Yande. He has Tang Xian backing him. Back then, we had some dealings with Tang Xian, so we can be considered to be on good terms.
Tang Xian only helped Ji Yande to ensure his own position in the future. He didn't expect His Majesty to leave so quickly.
Therefore, as long as Your Highness promises to keep the position of the Minister of Internal Affairs for him in the future, Tang Xian will probably be tempted. "
Ji Yanxiu hesitated and said, "But this position should be yours, Eunuch Wen."
No matter when, the position of Minister of Internal Affairs would definitely be left for his trusted eunuch. What would he do if Tang Xian became the Minister of Internal Affairs?
Wen Yu smiled indifferently and said, "Your Highness, don't worry. It's fine as long as we have a position. Tang Xian isn't young anymore. When his vitality starts to decline, he'll give up the position himself. When that time comes, won't this position still belong to us?"
Ji Yanxiu looked touched. "Eunuch Wen's loyalty to me is indeed unparalleled!"
Wen Yu only smiled and continued, "As for the remaining Prince of Yu, Ji Yanshan, it's easy to talk to him. Although they have Runan's Shangguan Clan behind them, the Shangguan Clan's interference in the fight for the throne in the Zhou Kingdom is actually just to protect themselves.
As long as we promise the Shangguan Clan that when Your Highness ascends to the throne, we will immediately stop targeting the Shangguan Clan. We can even use the royal court's channels to cooperate with the Shangguan Clan in some business. I believe that the Shangguan Clan may also turn to support Your Highness.
As for the other two families, it's a little hard to reconcile. Wu Wangji Yanting has Xijian Pavilion behind him, and Xijian Pavilion's goal is to support a prince to succeed the throne. They'll use this favor to develop Xijian Pavilion and make it one of the five sword sects. Therefore, Xijian Pavilion can't possibly switch sides halfway.
On the other hand, Lu Wangji Yanchang's strength is not much weaker than ours. In addition, he has already sent people to contact Taihang Mountain Stronghold. It doesn't matter if Taihang Mountain Stronghold makes a move or not, at least we can't force them to surrender.
Therefore, we need to choose an opponent. It's best to choose Lu Wangji Yanchang or Wu Wangji Yanting, especially Lu Wangji. Since they haven't invited Taihang Mountain Stronghold's people over, and their strength is weaker than ours, it's best for us to deal with Lu Wangji first. "
Ji Yanxiu nodded, agreeing with Wen Yu's opinion. But just as he was about to give the order, he saw someone running in in a panic, shouting, "Your Highness, bad news! Wu Wangji Yanting has brought Xijian Pavilion's people to our doorstep! "
Everyone present looked at each other. They were just about to deal with them, but in the end, they took the initiative to attack them. Most importantly, they weren't even prepared.
Ji Yanxiu frowned and said, "It's only been three days and they can't wait anymore? They don't even need to test the waters? "
In Ji Yanxiu's opinion, they had a month's time. At the beginning, the other princes would at least test the waters carefully, waiting until the last moment to make their move.
Who would have thought that they would act so quickly? They didn't even need to test the waters, and directly used force.
Wen Yu sighed and said, "They want to cut the Gordian knot with a knife. They probably saw Lu Wangji Yanchang's actions and became anxious, so they want to act as soon as possible, catching everyone off guard."
At present, a power like the Good Fortune Gate wouldn't interfere in the struggle for the throne of the Zhou Kingdom. Moreover, even if they wanted to interfere, the Zhou Kingdom wouldn't let them.
On the other hand, a power like Xijian Pavilion that could ally with the Zhou Kingdom didn't matter. As long as they didn't do anything that would harm the interests of the Zhou Kingdom, it was fine for both sides to work together.
Therefore, Ji Yanchang sent people to ask for help from Taihang Mountain Stronghold. In this world, there were still a few powers like Taihang Mountain Stronghold and Xijian Pavilion. Wu Wangji Yanting was also afraid that a long delay would bring trouble, so he hurriedly brought people to attack, ready to cut the Gordian knot with a knife. Moreover, his first target was Ji Yanxiu, who was relatively weak in his eyes.
Ji Yanxiu took a deep breath and said, "Since my brother is already here, then I can't avoid a fight, can I? Since he wants a fight, then let's fight! "
With that, Ji Yanxiu directly left with his people. However, before he left, he still ordered one of his subordinates to ask for help from Su Xin.
At this time, outside of Ji Yanxiu's residence, Wu Wangji Yanting had already brought hundreds of Xijian Pavilion disciples dressed in white, each with a long sword on their back, blocking the entrance. They looked determined to win.
There wasn't a single person on the street. Three days ago, Six Doors School had already informed everyone in Shengjing that food had been prepared. Within a month, the city was sealed, and no one was allowed to leave. This was so that the princes didn't have to worry and could attack as much as they wanted.
