Dynasty Call: Low-key Struggle for Hegemony

Chapter 9 Selection



"It's the fourth prince Li Yao and the fifth prince Li Yuan."

Chu Qingyan stepped forward lightly, took Chu Junyan's arm affectionately, and looked at Chu Junyan with her big eyes, which were extremely agile:

"Sister, are these two princes chosen by Emperor Yu for us?"

There is a heroic spirit between Chu Junyan's eyebrows that transcends her age, and her phoenix eyes are astonishingly bright:

"That's right, this is the choice Emperor Yu gave us to the Zhenguo Mansion."

Chu Junyan touched Chu Qingyan's dark cloud-like hair that was fluttering in the wind, her eyes showed a hint of endearment, and she felt more guilty in her heart.

Qingyan has been imprisoned in Kyoto since he was a child. His father and himself owe Qingyan a lot.

"Then after I choose one of the princes, can I leave Kyoto?"

Chu Qingyan showed excitement, which was also one of the requirements of the Zhenguo Mansion for Emperor Yu.

Chu Junyan nodded: "Yes, Emperor Yu promised that as long as he chooses one of the princes, he will grant that prince a title and land, and we can go to the fiefdom with the prince."

The two of them were sitting on the main seats, one on the left and the other on the right. As soon as Chu Qingyan sat down, she said quietly: "So Emperor Yu chose me?"

Seeing Chu Qingyan's expression, Chu Junyan sighed inwardly. If possible, she would really be willing to replace her sister, but some things are really not her choice. She said with an apologetic tone:

"Yes, Qingyan, for Emperor Yu, the best candidate for the princes in the royal family is you, not me, because Emperor Yu is afraid that the prince will not be able to suppress me, and that I will counterattack and make the court restless."

As Chu Junyan spoke, her eyes shone with confidence.

Chu Qingyan chuckled and mocked: "Although I am known as a witch in Kyoto, in their opinion, it is just a child playing around and being naughty. If I were in the palace, they would think that I could not change the world, and then use it. My identity slowly gained the military power of the Zhenguo Mansion!"

"That's right." Chu Junyan nodded.

"Sister, you don't have to come to Kyoto." Seeing that Chu Junyan was taking great risks to come here, Chu Qingyan said worriedly. She was afraid that her sister would not be able to get out after she came to Kyoto.

Since the Zhenguo Mansion and the royal family have chosen me, it doesn't matter whether my sister Chu Junyan comes to Kyoto or not.

Chu Junyan shook her head slightly and looked at Chu Qingyan with a faint smile. She knew that her sister had a sharp ear and eyesight, and she had a unique vision.

"Don't worry, Kyoto has been in turmoil because of my arrival, Emperor Yu will not let me leave.

Now that I'm here, I can at least let you choose a worthy prince. "

"Three days later, it's time for me to arrive in Kyoto. When I go to the court to see Emperor Yu, I can go directly to the court to grant a marriage, catching Emperor Yu off guard. However, the person to whom I will grant the marriage is still You. If it were me, Yu The emperor will most likely refute."

Chu Qingyan nodded. She understood what her sister meant. From Emperor Yu's point of view, it didn't matter which prince married her, but her sister would not give them any power to choose.

As for why Emperor Yu did not choose the three princes, but the fourth prince and the fifth prince, it was because the power of the three princes was relatively balanced. If one of them got the help of Zhenguo Mansion and jumped up, he could directly overwhelm the two princes. , and in this way, the Zhenguo Mansion has every reason to intervene in the battle for the crown prince, and it is also an extremely critical position.

If he chooses princes like the fourth prince and the fifth prince who have no power support, Emperor Yu would like the Zhenguo Mansion to intervene. In this way, the Zhenguo Mansion's entry and the three princes' support will consume each other, which will further stabilize the royal family's status.

Chu Qingyan understands, and so does Chu Junyan.

Chu Junyan asked again: "You just met the fourth prince Li Yao and the fifth prince Li Yuan. What do you think of these two people?"

After hearing this, Chu Qingyan recalled the scene when she saw Li Yao and Li Yuan, her eyes flickered, and she analyzed:

"I heard that both the fourth prince Li Yao and the fifth prince Li Yuan had no ambitions, so they gave up the fight for the crown prince and only wanted to be the prince Xiaoyao.

But the fourth prince, Li Yao, is not worthy of his name. During several contacts with him, he said he had no ambition on the surface, but in his words and deeds, I could see that he had a strong ambition in his heart, and his methods were immature, which made people laugh.

This should be the reason why the three princes knew who Li Yao was but didn't take him seriously. "

Chu Junyan nodded slightly. It is normal for a prince to have ambitions, but if his ability and ambition do not match, he is destined to be a loser.

"What about Fifth Prince Li Yuan?"

"Li Yuan?" What impressed Chu Qingyan most about Li Yuan was his clear and bright eyes and his faint smile, as if he didn't care about anything.

Chu Qingyan pondered for a moment, and finally shook her head and said: "This is the first time I have met the fifth prince, Li Yuan. He lives in seclusion in the palace and has a good relationship with all the princes. I can't see anything from him when we meet today."

"If I had to choose, Li Yuan seems to be a good choice for me. At least he looks very comfortable."

"Oh? Why?"

Chu Junyan looked at Chu Qingyan's careful analysis and did not put forward any suggestions of her own, but left Chu Qingyan to continue her analysis.

Chu Qingyan said: "Li Yao is very ambitious. If I choose him, he will definitely use the power of Zhenguo Mansion to intervene in the battle for the crown prince. Although his methods are insufficient, with the help of Emperor Yu behind him, he will definitely be able to get close to us. support from the forces, and even directly involved the government forces in our town.

When the time comes, because Li Yao is constantly involved in our Zhenguo Mansion and is stupid, the three princes are likely to join forces to design Li Yao to involve our Zhenguo Mansion and consume our strength. "

Chu Junyan said silently, in the battle for the crown prince, the three most powerful princes have different scheming. For them, no matter which one succeeds to the throne, they must weaken the power of the Zhenguo Mansion. If there is such a good opportunity, they can solve the Zhenguo Mansion in advance. , how could they give up.

Moreover, Chu Junyan has received the news that the three princes are now ready to wait for Zhenguo Mansion to enter.

hehe!

As expected of Emperor Dayu, he has one plan after another!

It ensures the stability of the dynasty to the greatest extent and can also train the abilities of future successors.

"If I choose Li Yuan, with his temperament, even if Emperor Yu forces him to enter the battle for the crown prince, then I will probably be the leader. It's not necessarily who will outplay whom by then!"

Chu Qingyan showed a confident smile, but soon she showed a hint of worry:

"However, some people don't want me to choose Li Yuan. Don't make any mistakes these days."
