Ye Xiaohan thought of what Ye Xingyue said to him on the night of the eldest princess's birthday party. Sure enough, the alliance between the prince and the Zhenbei Palace collapsed.
Moreover, the prince also met such a bad end.
On the contrary, the Zhenbei Palace gained a lot of benefits.
Although Prince Zhenbei’s concubine had an affair with the prince, and the Prince’s Palace lost some face, His Majesty gave many things to appease Prince Zhenbei’s Palace, and even classified the three neighboring continents as Northern Territory.
land.
The scope of the Northern Territory has been further expanded, and its power has been further enhanced.
His Majesty mentioned the eldest prince again. Considering the relationship between Zhenbei Palace and Rouyin, the mother of the eldest prince, Zhenbei Palace will definitely support this eldest prince.
In the past, Zhenbei Palace might have taken care of the prince Dongfang Xiao, but now that Zhenbei Palace and Dong Palace have fallen out, it is more natural to support the eldest prince.
Therefore, even if the prince is deposed, without the support of Zhenbei Palace, the possibility of Dongfang Qi succeeding to the throne is not high.
Dongfang Qi panicked and came to him hurriedly to discuss what to do next.
Dongfang Qi, "Prime Minister Zuo, no one can help me except you... As long as I ascend the throne, I promise Prime Minister Zuo that I will definitely make Jingrong the queen!"
Ye Jingrong beamed with joy, "Dad!"
Ye Xiaohan said, "Thanks to His Highness, Third Highness. How do you want me to help you? I have no power or position now, and the people in the Sixth Department are avoiding me! They are afraid that I will harm them!"
"Prime Minister Zuo, to tell you the truth, I have received news that my father has actually found the so-called eldest prince. Therefore, even if the prince is deposed, the possibility of making me the prince is not high. So I will do my best.
Be prepared for the worst..."
Ye Xiaohan's eyelids twitched, "What do you think? Also, where is the eldest prince?"
Dongfang Qi shook his head, "I don't know where the eldest prince is. If I knew, could I still let him live and threaten me?
"But, it doesn't matter! Heroes emerge from troubled times! Now the world is in chaos, not only we, Dongyue, are at war with the Netherland Kingdom, but other countries are also having major and minor wars!
"I am determined to raise my own troops and build my own power!
"I am not short of money! But what I am short of is the iron ore for making weapons! I know that you have a private mine, Prime Minister Zuo, can you do that?"
Dongfang Qi’s meaning is obvious!
Ye Xiaohan's iron mine is located at the border of various countries. It is an area with many powerful forces. No one would have thought that the mine belonged to Ye Xiaohan.
This is also Ye Xiaohan's capital for wanting to be independent.
He has iron ore and can make his own weapons!
But he had such a secret matter as the iron mine, how did Dongfang Qi know about it?
Even his daughter Ye Jingrong didn’t know about this industry! So it couldn’t have been Ye Jingrong who told Dongfang Qi!
"Your Highness, I don't have any private mines under my name. Where did you get the information? Private mining of iron ore is not allowed under the national law. Please don't accuse me of arbitrary charges."
Dongfang Qi said, "I don't care at all what national laws you have violated, Prime Minister Zuo, including whether Prime Minister Zuo has colluded with the Beiming royal family, I don't care.
"If Zuo Xiang really has such great energy and is related to the Beiming Royal Family, he can help me...
"The worst thing is, after conquering the country, Prime Minister Zuo and I will divide the world equally!"
Ye Xiaohan was shocked when he heard this.
Divide the world equally?
This temptation is very powerful.
"Third Highness, don't be joking! It's natural for you to inherit Dongyue, I'm just a minister..."
"Oh, Prime Minister Zuo, this is wrong! Heroes emerge from troubled times! Prime Minister Zuo, you are an extraordinary person, why can't you create a dynasty?
"There are ten countries in the world. Their territory is so vast. Why is it limited to me, Dongyue? My horizons are too narrow.
"I think I can join forces with you, Prime Minister Zuo, to seize the world together! If I make these remarks, Prime Minister Zuo will come to my father and accuse me of treason?"
