Chapter 307: Staying the same despite the ever-changing situation
When the civil and military officials dispersed, the proposal of the Wei and Jin Dynasties to make Wei Lianyi the crown prince immediately aroused heated discussion among those who came to participate in the summer hunt.
Even though the civil and military officials had dispersed, the scene of the civil and military officials kneeling on the ground and forcing the Wei and Jin Dynasties to surrender still shocked everyone present.
Liang Yuxuan and Sun Xichui were guarding Su Yu's tent, watching eagerly as Su Yu grilled the freshly marinated monster meat on the charcoal fire.
While waiting for the monster meat to be cooked, Liang Yuxuan couldn't help but sigh: "I have to say, the scene just now was indeed wonderful."
Sun Xichui agreed with a wry smile: "Yes, this situation of civil and military officials begging for bones from Your Majesty has probably never happened since the founding of the Wei Dynasty, right?"
"It's incredible that Your Majesty actually wants to make Mr. Wei the crown prince."
Liang Yuxuan sighed softly and said: "If Mr. Wei is a man, not only the daughter of the queen, but also relying on her young age to be promoted to the position of governor, it is almost certain that she will be made the crown prince."
"What a pity. Master Wei is a woman, and all the civil and military officials are a bunch of rotten old stubborns. How can she be allowed to become the crown prince and inherit the future throne?"
Speaking of this, Liang Yuxuan glanced at Su Yu and changed the topic: "By the way, brother Su, tell us in detail how you and Mr. Wei hunted a fifth-level monster."
Liang Yuxuan and Sun Xicui were almost shocked to hear that Wei Lianyi's summer hunting record actually included a fifth-level monster.
The two of them never thought that the combination of Wei Lianyi and Su Yu could kill a fifth-level monster.
Not only that, except for the fifth-level monster, the two of them also killed six sixth-level monsters.
Those were a total of six monster beasts from the Fish Leaping Realm.
Although the two had to admit that Wei Lianyi was very strong, he was not strong enough to achieve this result.
This made Liang Yuxuan and Sun Xicui curious about how Su Yu and Wei Lianyi did it.
No, with the help of the meal, the two of them brought fresh monster meat to Su Yu's camp, wanting to find out how they achieved the results of this summer hunt.
Facing the gazes of Liang Yuxuan and Sun Xichui, Su Yu turned over the monster meat in his hand and said with a smile: "To be honest, Mr. Wei's hunting achievements are all due to my brother's contribution."
Hearing Su Yu's boast, Liang Yuxuan and Sun Xichui's faces twitched and looked at him hesitantly.
"Brother Su, you are only at the perfect level of Yu Leap Realm. What nonsense are you talking about?"
Liang Yuxuan looked unbelieving.
"good."
Sun Xichui couldn't help but said: "Brother Su, please stop showing off and tell us in detail how you and Mr. Wei hunted down that fifth-level monster?"
"This is a long story to say."
A trace of recollection flashed across Su Yu's face, and then he said: "Actually, it was luck. Master Wei and I happened to encounter a fight between the Shadow Maned Lion and the Spirit Peak Demonic Ape in the forest."
"In the end, the Lingfeng Demon Ape was bitten to death by the Shadow Maned Lion."
"When the Shadow Maned Lion leaves after eating and drinking, Master Wei and I will gain a record of hunting a fifth-level monster for nothing."
After listening to what Su Yu said, Liang Yuxuan and Sun Xichui looked at him blankly.
Is this okay?
After a long time, Liang Yuxuan moved his lips and said in a daze: "Brother Su, you are so lucky, right?"
Sun Xicui couldn't help but smiled bitterly and shook his head.
Neither of them had the slightest doubt about Su Yu's statement, and even felt that this was the true story of the matter.
After all, excluding the record of the fifth-order Spirit Peak Demonic Ape, the record of the six sixth-order monsters is more in line with the record that Wei Lianyi and Su Yu can achieve as a team.
Seeing the two people acting like they believed it was true, Su Yu couldn't help but feel secretly happy.
He said that these monsters were killed by him, but Liang Yuxuan and Sun Xicui looked unbelievable.
But he happened to make up a story, and these two guys believed it.
It really echoes the old saying that people only believe what they see or believe what they think.
For unbelievable things, even if they are true, they will try every means to overturn it.
Since they like to listen to stories, he can satisfy their mood of listening to stories. He also hopes that others will not delve into this matter.
He lowered his voice and said: "Brother Liang, Brother Sun, this kind of thing is not honorable after all. Mr. Wei has repeatedly warned and warned not to tell other people about this matter. I regard these two as good brothers who can be trusted, so I took the risk to do this."
Now that the matter has been revealed, you two must not spread the word about it again."
Liang Yuxuan and Sun Xichui nodded repeatedly to show that they understood.
If Su Yu himself hunted and killed this Lingfeng Demon Ape, then they would definitely publicize the matter widely, fearing that some people would not know about it.
But this matter involved Wei Lianyi, so the two of them had to think twice before taking action.
As the saying goes, being a senior official is scary to death.
If there are rumors that Wei Lianyi cheated in the summer hunting, and Wei Lianyi finds out after investigation that it was the two of them who spread the news, then as their immediate boss, Wei Lianyi is not allowed to give them small shoes?
Liang Yuxuan took the barbecue that was passed to him and tore off a large piece. The grease overflowed and covered the corners of his lips.
He ate a piece, then eagerly tore off a piece and chewed it, and then said in one word: "Brother Su, Brother Sun, the situation in the court is a little strange now."
"In the past, the eldest prince and the second prince still competed for the position of prince."
"It's better now. Mr. Wei also participated in it, and even got the Emperor's Sword that only the next emperor deserves to possess."
"Tell me, among the three of them, who will become the crown prince in the end and succeed to the throne a hundred years from now?"
Sun Xichui tore off a piece of barbecue and chewed it. He couldn't help but shake his head and sighed: "At present, Mr. Wei has no chance of winning."
Seeing Su Yu and Liang Yuxuan looking at each other, Sun Xichui continued: "You also saw what happened just now."
"His Majesty wanted to make Mr. Wei the crown prince, which caused such a big reaction."
"If the eldest prince or the second prince serves as the crown prince, he can at least win the support of nearly half of the officials in the court."
"On the other hand, Master Wei, if she wants to be the crown prince, she will have to withstand the obstruction of everyone in the court!"
"The forces behind the eldest prince and the second prince have been fighting for so many years, but there has never been a winner."
"Now Mr. Wei has to face the combined force of these two forces at the same time. What do you think Mr. Wei has a chance of winning?"
"Even if His Majesty is on Lord Wei's side, the obstacles in the court are really too great."
After listening to Sun Xicui's analysis, Liang Yuxuan nodded in agreement.
Just like what happened when the Wei and Jin Dynasties wanted to make Wei Lianyi the crown prince.
In order to prevent Wei Lianyi from becoming the crown prince, the supporters behind the eldest prince and the second prince were even able to put aside their past grievances, which shows how big the obstacles Wei Lianyi faced.
Even if Wei Jin sided with Wei Lianyi, he could not accomplish this despite the opposition of all civil and military officials.
If Wei Lianyi is really to be forcibly established as the crown prince, then all the civil and military officials will probably retire and return to their hometowns.
If the imperial court does not have these officials to carry out the implementation, this huge machine will no longer operate, and the entire dynasty will probably fall into chaos in an instant.
At that time, the two younger brothers of Wei and Jin, King Wen and King Jing, may also have to rise up.
Even the Wei and Jin Dynasties had to consider this matter carefully.
After listening to the two people's analysis, Su Yu chuckled and said: "If the eldest prince and the second prince unfortunately die young, then Mr. Wei will have a chance to become the prince."
Upon hearing Su Yu's words, Liang Yuxuan and Sun Xicui's faces turned pale.
The two of them quickly looked around.
"Brother Su, do you want your life?"
Liang Yuxuan rolled his eyes and lowered his voice and said: "If the eldest prince and the second prince really die in infancy, then even if it was not Master Wei's fault, the forces supporting them will still put the blame on Master Wei."
"At that time, the civil and military officials will still prevent her from becoming the crown prince. What can you do?"
"Should we kill all the civil and military officials and replace them with a new batch?"
"Brother Liang is right."
Sun Xichui couldn't help but echoed: "Brother Su, although our Zhenwu Division is separated from the imperial court, you have to understand one thing."
"What the court talks about is not about fighting and killing. What the court talks about is human relations and sophistication."
"The court has always been ruthless and the two sides engage in a verbal battle based on their interests. Only when the interests that both sides value cannot be reconciled will they secretly resort to force."
"Even if the eldest prince and the second prince die in infancy, the civil and military officials can still praise the children of King Wen and King Jing as crown princes, but Mr. Wei still has no chance."
"If His Majesty really wants to make Mr. Wei the crown prince, then the result he will face is probably similar to what happened when the sun went down just now."
After listening to Liang Yuxuan and Sun Xicui's analysis, Su Yu couldn't help but fell into deep thought.
It seems that it is indeed very difficult to put Wei Lianyi on the throne.
Killing the eldest prince and second prince would be a bad idea.
Because these two guys also have a bunch of cousins.
Did he teleport to the home of King Wen and King Jing, and then slaughter all the sons of these two families?
By then, everyone probably knew that all this was because someone was trying to pave a bloody path for Wei Lianyi to ascend to the throne.
In this traditional era where the succession of the family is extremely important, even if King Wen and King Jing had no intention of rebelling, why should they not rise up now that their sons have died cleanly?
By the time the Wei Dynasty is divided into three, the emperors of Northern Qi and Western Zhou Dynasty will probably laugh half to death because they succeeded in taking the Wei Dynasty into their hands without any effort, thus ending the situation of the Three Kingdoms.
It is precisely because of this that this matter has fallen into an endless loop.
On one side, the eldest prince and the second prince coveted the position of prince, on the other side, the children of King Wen and King Jing were waiting for candidates, and on the other hand, the Western Zhou Dynasty and the Northern Qi Dynasty were eyeing the throne.
No matter how you look at it, it's not Wei Lianyi's turn.
But it was precisely because of this that Su Yu couldn't help but feel that this matter was difficult.
In the face of so many obstacles, in order for Wei Lianyi to become empress, all the officials must be convinced and bow to her. This is similar to asking the sun to come out in the west.
After having their fill of wine and food, Liang Yuxuan and Sun Xicui happily went back to rest, waiting to return to Tai'an City early tomorrow morning.
As for Su Yu, the various scenes that happened in Qingtan Monster Forest during the day could not help but flash through his mind.
"I have to say, it's really plump and juicy."
Su Yu couldn't help but sigh.
At this moment, Su Yu raised his eyebrows, and there was an uninvited guest in the tent.
"I humble myself to pay my respects to you, sir."
Su Yu stood up in a hurry, then clasped his fists and said respectfully.
The person coming was none other than Wei Lianyi, but her face looked a little unsightly at the moment.
All civil and military officials worked together to force the palace, which undoubtedly made Wei Jin and her lose face.
But it was precisely because of this that it aroused Wei Lianyi's rebellious psychology.
It's just that she thought about it for a long time after returning, and never thought of a way for her to open up the situation.
Thinking that Su Yu had come up with ideas to solve problems for her several times before, she found a way to sneak into Su Yu's camp.
She glanced at Su Yu, then nodded and said, "What did you say about plump and juicy?"
Su Yu twitched the corner of his mouth when he heard this, and then said with a serious face: "What I'm talking about is the barbecue I just ate, and it's full of juice."
Wei Lianyi changed the topic and then said: "You saw everything that happened when the sun went down today. In your opinion, if I want to become the prince, is there any good way?"
You really think so, what can I do?
Su Yu cursed in his heart, and then said seriously: "Sir, from my humble opinion, the best way at present is to remain unchanged in response to all changes?"
Since there is no other way, the only thing left is to mess it up.
Wait until you think of a better solution later and then adapt to the situation.
“Standing unchanged in response to ever-changing changes?”
Wei Lianyi's pretty face was startled, and then she asked: "Tell me more specifically."
"Sir, this is what I think. If you want to become a prince, none of the civil and military officials will agree to it. Just like today, all the civil and military officials are begging for your bones and returning to their hometowns."
Su Yu analyzed: "It can be seen from this that the resistance you encounter when you want to be the prince is the civil and military officials in the court!"
"And this includes the forces of the eldest prince and the second prince, as well as neutral third-party forces. These people include everyone in the court."
"In the face of all these obstacles, if you want to become a prince, the civil and military officials are the biggest obstacles."
"But getting rid of this obstacle is not something that can be accomplished overnight."
"I guess the civil and military officials also know that His Majesty is on your side."
"Your Majesty did not plan to establish a crown prince. As a result, the crown prince's position is high. What is more urgent than your Excellency are the civil and military officials in the court."
"I guess they are waiting for you to make a mistake now, and then defeat him in one fell swoop, so that you will completely lose the chance to compete for the crown prince's position."
"So what you have to do now is to remain unchanged in the face of all changes."
"My lord, you can keep a low profile and watch the eldest prince and the second prince fight to the death."
"Otherwise, once you want to compete for the position of prince, they will choose short-term cooperation from the fight and choose to jointly resist foreign enemies and deal with you."
"If you don't do anything, my lord, the enemy will expose its flaws on its own!"
After listening to Su Yu's analysis, Wei Lianyi's eyes couldn't help but light up.
Just as Su Yu said, now that she has obtained the Emperor's Sword, she has completely stopped the enemy.
Any action she takes will tug at the heartstrings of the civil and military officials.
At this time, all the civil and military officials were thinking about was how to deal with her so that she would no longer covet the position of crown prince.
Only if she completely stops thinking about the position of prince, will the civil and military officials focus their attention on the eldest prince and the second prince again.
In this way, when the two sides fight to the death and one of them is defeated, she can take action to win over the defeated party.
When the defeated party in the court comes to help, and her father is on her side, her chances of becoming the crown prince will be greatly improved.
Seeing Wei Lianyi's pretty face suddenly glow with color, Su Yu couldn't help but wonder, what on earth is this girl thinking?
How can an idea like this, which is not even an idea, make her so happy?
"Su Yu, your method is good."
Wei Lianyi glanced at him appreciatively, and then said: "I have decided to return the Emperor's Sword to my father when I return to Tai'an City, so that all the civil and military officials in the court will mistakenly think that it is my father who made me the crown prince.
Go your own way."
"By returning the Emperor's Sword, I can divert the attention of the civil and military officials as much as possible and let them fight to the death."
Su Yu couldn't help but be startled, as if he didn't expect Wei Lianyi to realize that the Emperor Sword was a hot potato.
After getting the answer he wanted from Su Yu, Wei Lianyi turned around and prepared to leave.
It's just that with all the fat in her mouth, how could Su Yu let her slip away easily?
With one step, he activated Tiandao Yu's ability to shrink into a human being. He hugged Wei Lianyi from behind and wrapped his arms around her waist.
Su Yu suddenly held his arms around his waist, and Su Yu's unique masculine scent poured into his nose.
Wei Lianyi's delicate body suddenly stiffened, and then she said coldly with a fierce look: "What do you want to do?"
Su Yu slowly moved his hands upward, then brought his mouth to Wei Lianyi's ear and said with a smile: "Sir, I am humbled to give you advice and suggestions, you can't just show no sign at all, right?"
"This is really chilling for my humble position."
"You're here, let's do it for a while and then leave."
Thinking of everything that happened in the Qingtan Monster Forest, and the manly scent pouring into his nose at this moment, Wei Lianyi felt that a fire was suddenly ignited in his body, and it burned like a prairie fire.
She said in as calm a tone as possible: "I have to go back to practice, but you have only one hour to do so."
Su Yu's eyes lit up, and he smiled mischievously and said, "Don't worry, sir. I will never let you miss your business due to my humble position."
As soon as he finished speaking, Su Yu picked up Wei Lianyi and ran towards the bed.
About half an hour passed, and the sound of deliberately controlled and suppressed breathing rang out from the camp.
"Being in a humble position and contradicting an adult is a crime worthy of death."
"Please, sir, let your lowly position be punished, so that you can make up for your mistakes in the future."
"."
It wasn't until more than three hours passed that Wei Lianyi emerged from Su Yu's tent, her pretty face filled with the charming after-effects of clouds and rain.
After confirming that no one was paying attention around him, Wei Lianyi walked towards the tent located a few feet away.
Back in the camp, Wei Lianyi sat cross-legged on the bed, took out the top-grade Yuan Jing from the space ring and prepared to practice, but a strong feeling of fatigue came to her heart.
Wei Lianyi sighed softly, put away the Yuan Jing and gave up practicing, and fell into a deep sleep as soon as he lay down.
