If the Ye family wants to take advantage of the situation, they must perform well in this battle to establish the crown prince. Otherwise, they cannot get rid of the sect's control just by relying on the two Zifus.

At present, Wuji Sect has only two friends with the Ye family, Wu Huai and Hall Master Lin. In addition, there are some foundations laid by Ye Shouyi in the middle level of the sect. It seems now that Patriarch Mu’s appreciation is just that he treats the Ye family as

I just wanted to use the Ye family to weaken the great elder's strength by making a sword.

Regardless of the fact that the Great Elder was arrogant and unparalleled among the sects before, in the final analysis, Elder Ling has more Zifu monks and a dozen or so Foundation-Building monks. On this basis, there are naturally many sects.

The monks came to seek refuge.

However, the battle at Yejia Yunling Peak severely damaged Elder Ling's elite men, and even his most beloved son of the Zi Mansion died in this battle. For Elder Ling, this is undoubtedly a major event.

loss.

Of course, the losses were more than that. Patriarch Mu no longer stood with him at this time, and even had a faint tendency to help the Ye family. Those monks who originally wanted to be loyal to Elder Ling, seeing this scene, turned their sides and stood aside.

, no longer interfere.

In this way, Elder Ling is like a tiger that has lost its limbs, and the threat is greatly reduced. However, a centipede insect can die without stiffness. After all, Elder Ling has been operating in the sect for so many years. The Ye family wants to kill Elder Ling immediately.

It's not that easy to overthrow.

The most important thing is that Patriarch Mu has spoken. So far, if Elder Ling has not made a bigger mistake, the Ye family will not be able to kill them all.

Being in the sect, he couldn't help himself. Even if Ye Tongxuan had many plans in his heart that he wanted to carry out, they could not be implemented well because of the sect.

"Clan leader, whether it is the eldest prince or the third prince, the current emperor is afraid, and I am afraid that he will not pass the throne to these two early." Ye Tongxuan explained.

Ye Tongxuan's explanation made Ye Yongzhang interested. He raised his eyebrows slightly and signaled Ye Tongxuan to continue.

"Although the eldest prince is talented and has an excellent background, behind him is a behemoth like the sect. If such a large sect is allowed to interfere in the management of the entire empire, there may be a risk of the Great Zhou changing hands in the future. Today's dynasty

There are no officials in the country who are worried about the occurrence of such a situation. Whether they can control the Beiying Sect has become a key issue for Chuanwei." Ye Tongxuan said. Although he rarely leaves Xinghai County, he has information on the situation in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

He started collecting early.

After all, his plan is not limited to staying in the Zifu realm, so it is also very necessary to collect information about the surrounding forces.

Ye Yongzhang nodded, "Indeed, His Majesty is a figure who came out of the palace, and he will not allow the sect to interfere too much in the affairs of the empire. However, with the eldest prince's current strength and cultivation, he wants to control Beiying

Zong is a very difficult thing."

"The third prince does have a good prestige in the army, and he also has an army that can be mobilized, which is his biggest support. Although the third prince's uncle is the current general, after all, the big bonus is to guard the border.

It is an important road to protect, and it is impossible to mobilize too many troops back to the capital to help the third prince fight for the throne. Therefore, although the third prince seems to have a lot of troops, in fact, there are not many soldiers that can be mobilized."

"Tongxuan, your analysis is very reasonable. Not to mention these princes, even His Majesty is not having an easy life now. After the news of the appointment of the crown prince was released, the princes were ready to take action, and there was a surging undercurrent. Many court officials began to

Taking sides has seriously affected the operation of the empire. The eldest prince and the third prince are all thorns in the side. If they are not settled properly, the whole Zhou Dynasty will be shaken.

Therefore, your Majesty now not only needs to select the crown prince, but also needs to properly arrange the unsuccessful princes to prevent them from causing trouble, which is not easy for your Majesty." Ye Yongzhang said, because Ye Tongxuan is a family member, so he did not mince words.

, stated it directly.

Ye Tongxuan nodded. The current situation is indeed not optimistic. It is not easy for the family to rise to the top. In the final analysis, the family's strength must be improved.

"Tongxuan, do you have any ideas now?" Ye Yongzhang asked.

Ye Tongxuan shook his head, "As of now, our family is not strong enough, so we can only follow the sect's arrangements for the time being."

...

However, what the Ye family did not expect was that an accident changed the Ye family's situation.

"Ninth Prince, can we really win him over when we go to Wuji Sect this time?" A middle-aged man dressed as a Confucian scholar asked uncertainly, his words full of doubt. This person is none other than the Ninth Prince.

The think tank is also one of the most trusted personnel of the Ninth Prince at present.

The Ninth Prince was silent for a while, and then muttered: "To a certain extent, Wuji Sect and I have an old relationship. Even if we don't help us, our karma will not embarrass us." At this point, the Ninth Prince's own aura was a little weak, and it was obvious in his heart

No bottom either.

Yun Ruoting sighed slightly and said nothing more. After all, the Ninth Prince was now helpless, so it would be great to have a force to rely on.

Although this Ninth Prince is one of many princes, he is the most miserable one. He lost his mother when he was young and lost the support of his natal family. The Ninth Prince has no advantage in competing for the heir apparent.

This time the Ninth Prince came to the Wuji Sect not to compete for the throne, but to protect himself. Now all the princes are coveting the highest position, but he just wants to have enough strength to protect himself, and does not want to

Being involved in this whirlpool, he believed that there were many monks and forces who had the same idea as him, so he went to various places to lobby in the hope of strengthening his own power.

With enough strength, I can confidently choose not to take sides and protect myself. However, it backfires. After all, the Ninth Prince's foundation is not deep. At such a sensitive time, if you get too close to the Ninth Prince, you will inevitably get hurt.

Being labeled as the Ninth Prince, when the liquidation comes, they will not be able to escape their involvement.

No matter how rational and emotional the Ninth Prince was, he could not persuade these forces to join in. The Ninth Prince also encountered obstacles everywhere, and his mood was very low. Now Wuji Sect is the last stop for the Ninth Prince. If it fails again

, the Ninth Prince was helpless.

However, after all, the Ninth Prince is His Majesty’s flesh and blood, and he still has some guards around him. There are about fifty riders in the group, and Yun Ruoting is even guarded by monks from the Zifu. With the status of the prince, within the Great Zhou Dynasty,

Don’t worry too much about safety when traveling.
