Hong Yi's words were filled with determination. His piercing gaze caused Murong Yan to feel a stab in her heart. At this moment, she finally felt that this sixteen or seventeen year old High Scholar wasn't a simple person. He wasn't one of those frail and weak scholars. He was one who had great ambitions and was decisive in his actions. He had the Art of Slaying the Dragon in his heart. He had the Dao of the Emperor in his heart. He wanted to assist the Emperor and achieve great things!
'At such a young age, he already has such methods and thoughts. Even among the younger generation of the Yun Meng nobles, there aren't many who can compare to him. Although I'm older than him by four or five years, and have received the guidance of a famous teacher, in terms of controlling the atmosphere, I can't compare to him. 'Murong Yan was lost in thought as she thought about something else.
"Murong Yan, what do you think?" Hong Yi saw that Murong Yan was lost in thought as she spoke and couldn't help but frown. He thought to himself, 'Although this woman is from the nobility, has profound Dao techniques, and is highly skilled in martial arts, she doesn't have much of a mind. Although she hasn't reached the stage where she can be used as an embroidered pillow or as a plaything, she definitely isn't very intelligent.'
After interacting with Murong Yan a few times, Hong Yi had gradually understood this woman's character. She was arrogant, had a high opinion of herself, and was greedy for money. Her mind wasn't meticulous, and she didn't have much of a mind. It was obvious that she was from a noble family, and had lived a life of luxury since young. Although she had gone through a lot of training, she had only developed a thin skin.
Because of this, Hong Yi felt that Murong Yan was easy to control. That was why he proposed to make a deal with her.
Murong Yan had a huge amount of wealth and hidden connections. This was exactly what Hong Yi lacked.
"If I remember correctly, this Green Willow Manor used to be Prince Yu's property. Now that it's yours, I'm afraid that you've already become a famous scholar under Prince Yu's tutelage, wholeheartedly wanting to assist him in his great cause. You want me to place a bet? Do you want me to place a bet on Prince Yu? " Murong Yan came back to her senses and regained her composure. She looked around and smiled, showing that she knew Da Qian intelligence like the back of her hand.
"Your intelligence gathering ability is really powerful."
Hong Yi's heart skipped a beat. His hands trembled slightly, and his eyes pretended to flash with a hint of surprise. At the same time, he tried his best to hide it on his face.
Murong Yan naturally noticed this detail. She smiled in her heart and felt slightly satisfied. "He's still young after all. He doesn't know how powerful I am. If he's more careful, he can toy with him and even obtain a considerable amount of benefits. This will be very beneficial for me to consolidate my position in the clan."
"Small breasts, small brains."
Hong Yi also gave a four-word evaluation of Murong Yan. He knew that a woman like Murong Yan was greedy for money and was proud. However, he couldn't appear too strong and meticulous. Otherwise, it would make her suspicious and it would be difficult for them to cooperate in the future.
"I know the affairs of the Da Qian court like the back of my hand." Murong Yan said proudly.
"I wonder what Miss Murong thinks about the positions of the princes in the court? And the position of the Crown Prince? I'm all ears. "Hong Yi cupped his hands.
"Among the princes, the most likely to inherit the throne is naturally the Crown Prince, followed by the Eighth Prince and the Prince. The Fourth Prince, Prince Yu, is the third. As for the rest, the Third Prince, Prince Ning, the Ninth Prince, Prince Yong, and the Tenth Prince, Prince Yi, don't have much hope. For the time being, they can only rely on the three princes. However, the Qian Emperor is in his prime. He's skilled in martial arts and has a long lifespan. I'm afraid he still has a few more decades to rule. No one knows what will happen during this period. The current situation is confusing and confusing. "
Murong Yan enunciated each word clearly. In just a few words, she had vividly and vividly expressed the division of power in the court.
"Based on the current situation, how many chances does Prince Yu have?" Hong Yi looked at Murong Yan, his eyes filled with sincerity.
When Murong Yan saw his gaze, she felt even more satisfied. "This youth is not ashamed to ask his subordinates. He doesn't put on airs at all."
"If nothing unexpected happens and this continues, Prince Yu won't have a single chance!" Murong Yan's words were shocking.
"What do you mean by that?" Hong Yi let Murong Yan speak to her heart's content.
"The Crown Prince is not a weak and incompetent person. On the contrary, he's decisive in killing, highly skilled in martial arts and has a deep mind. He's the kind of emperor who would expand the country's territory! On this point, most of the court officials have already tacitly agreed that the Crown Prince will be a famous ruler in the future. In addition to his status, if nothing unexpected happens, he will naturally inherit the throne! "
Hong Yi nodded his head, agreeing with Murong Yan's words.
Although he did not understand the Crown Prince, but Hong Yi saw that Shen Tianyang and Shen Tiezhu's Shen family were annihilated because of the Crown Prince's approval. He knew that the Crown Prince was a vicious and merciless person who only cared about the big picture and did not speak of benevolence and righteousness.
"But it is because the Crown Prince is too powerful and the Qian Emperor's health is good. If this continues, fifty to sixty years later, when the Qian Emperor dies and the Crown Prince inherits the throne? That would already be old! With the Crown Prince's strength, of course he cannot wait. But this is something that can't be helped. The Qian Emperor cannot abdicate and pass the throne to the Crown Prince and become the retired emperor. At the same time, he has to guard against the Crown Prince who can't wait and launch a coup. The father and son pair are now guarding against each other and restricting each other. This will give the other princes a chance! "
"The situation is indeed like this. The suspicion between father and son is not the fortune of the country but the Imperial family is heartless. This is something that can't be helped." Hong Yi nodded his head.
"Prince Yu relies on his outstanding military achievements and his prestige in the military is second only to Grand Tutor Hong. As for Prince He, he is familiar with the court's politics and is distinguished in literature. He manages the water conservancy, farmland, population and other matters very well. In the future when he becomes the Emperor, he will also be an expert in governing the country. "
Murong Yan showed off her knowledge and showed her pride in front of Hong Yi. Hong Yi nodded his head again and again, giving her great comfort in her heart.
"You have to assist Prince Yu to fight for the throne. Timing, geography and people cannot be lacking."
"What is timing, geography and people?" Hong Yi asked again.
"Timing is when the Crown Prince's mind is muddled and unable to wait, starting a rebellion and killing his father to ascend the throne! Geography is to control the Jade Capital's pivot! And people is Hong Xuanji. Without Hong Xuanji, Prince Yu's connections in the military will not be restrained. "
Murong Yan's expression was as if she was pointing out the country and was immensely proud of herself.
"Miss Murong's analysis has enlightened me." Seeing Murong Yan like this, Hong Yi simply complimented her.
Murong Yan's expression became even more spirited and she couldn't hide the smile between her brows. "After talking for so long, you want me to bet on Prince Yu. It doesn't benefit me, right?"
"Isn't it benefit now? Murong Yan, if you move around in Jade Capital, you will be surrounded and hunted down at all times. If you stay here, you will be fine. This is Prince Yu's manor, who would dare to investigate? " Hong Yi said calmly, "Miss Murong, you are the Third Miss of the family. I believe there is still First Brother, Second Brother, and so on. However, according to the customs of the Yun Meng Nation, the female leads the household. Miss Murong, don't you have any thoughts of inheriting the title of Scarlet Flame Marquis? "
In the Yun Meng Nation, women could also inherit the title of nobility. This was different from the Da Qian Nation.
"You are right." Murong Yan thought for a while before saying, "How about this? I will test the waters first. Firstly, it is to repay you for saving my life. Secondly, I need to rely on you to have a place to stay. The Divine Strategy Battalion's Thirteen Cold-Blooded Eagles destroyed one of my residences in the capital's outskirts. Although I killed them, the mastermind was Commander Hong Xi. I want to take revenge! "
"Good."
Hong Yi smiled. The two extended their hands and high-fived each other.
"I wonder how much capital Miss Murong can mobilize? How many experts? "Hong Yi asked after the high-fives.
