The arrogant imperial concubine arrives, the favorite of the regent
Chapter 1002: Motives for changing the order, keeping a low profile
Ye Xiaohan thought of a vision buried deep in his heart, and his eyes became even deeper.
Wei Bai didn't know what his prince was thinking. After thinking about it alone, he suddenly realized and said, "Your Highness's analysis makes sense. Wan Yansen took advantage of the change of order to become an unknown little prince in the Nantai royal family. The other brothers were much less wary of him seizing the throne, so he was able to survive until now without a biological mother."
Ye Xiaohan withdrew the thoughts in his heart and focused his attention on the events at hand.
Wanyan Sen's biological mother had passed away, so his biological mother's confidants and his maternal grandfather's family were of course as low-key and cautious as possible in order to protect Wanyan Sen. Moreover, Wanyan Sen's biological mother gave birth to two princes at once, and two princes would make others more anxious than one prince, because even if one prince got into trouble, there was another twin prince who could take his place.
With these two considerations in mind, the people around Wanyan Sen concealed the fact that there were two Wanyan Sens, and even kept Wanyan Sen in the care of a concubine in a low-key manner.
The people of the Nantai royal family saw Wanyan Sen as a motherless man who was adopted by a concubine who was not very favored. He was a single prince. In addition, he was only the sixth in the order of birth. The possibility of him ascending the throne was not great, and the possibility could be even lower. There was a crown prince before the sixth prince, and there were four other princes. Even if he ascended the throne simply according to the order of seniority, he would not have a chance.
Moreover, even if the five princes died, it would not necessarily be Wan Yansen's turn! Because although it is said that the eldest prince should be crowned as the heir, the distinction between the eldest and the youngest is also one of the criteria for ascending the throne. If a young prince is extremely powerful, it may not be feasible to grant him the throne according to the order of seniority.
Over the past twenty years, Wanyan Sen has kept a low profile, which has dispelled the other princes' wariness of him and allowed him to grow safely.
However, when he grew to a certain size, he stopped hiding his strength and began to show his strength step by step to expand his faction.
It was during these years that Wan Yansen emerged and was loved and valued by the Emperor of Nantai and a group of ministers. However, it was extremely difficult for the princes and their factions who had reacted to the situation to start killing Wan Yansen.
Since the change of rank, Wanyan Sen's low-key style has enabled him to grow steadily while keeping a low profile, and this is his motivation for changing rank.
Everything is just to better follow the dragon throne...
It can be said that, to a certain extent, Wanyan Sen's mind is much more gloomy than that of Prince Xu and other princes of Nantai, which is enough to show how cruel this person is.
Ye Xiaohan slowly expressed his analysis, and finally said: "This person is a difficult person."
Of course, the Wanyan Sen that His Royal Highness the Night King was talking about was the prince Wanyan Sen who was in the court of Nantai, not the assassin Wanyan Sen whom he had captured alive.
In terms of ability, of course the prince in the court is more capable of making plans, and he serves as the backbone of the twin brothers. He issues orders in the palace and the court, and the other brother serves him loyally and does things for him.
Yun Mujiu learned a lot of secrets of the Nantai royal family from Ye Xiaohan today. She looked serious, as if she was listening to a story, and slowly began to trace back the past events.
Turning his head, he praised Ye Xiaohan again: "No matter how gloomy Wan Yansen is, he can never be more powerful than the wise prince." He smiled and said, "The prince can capture his younger brother alive, and he will be able to control his older brother in the future."
Facing Yun Mujiu's flattery, Ye Xiaohan raised his eyes slightly and nodded slightly. His princess was bright and generous, and would occasionally sincerely praise him.
Think about it, His Royal Highness the Night King, he is the regent of the great country Zhongyue, and he is also the god of war prince who holds military power. He has fought in the court and on the battlefield for a long time, but he can be moved by the praise of one person.
At this time, guards outside the door came to report that they had received a letter from a mysterious person.
Ye Xiaohan raised his eyebrows slightly and asked someone to present the letter. Before he even opened the envelope, he said, "He sent it."
The second prince of Nantai, Wanyan Gu.
After taking a look at the letter, he said, "It is indeed so."
Ye Xiaohan was not wrong in his guess. The letter was indeed sent by Wanyan Gu.
Wanyan Gu first expressed his concern and regards for Ye Xiaohan and Yun Mujiu's recuperation in the letter, and then explained that he was unaware of the new spy from Nantai and the Sixth Prince. He then went on to mention in detail the whole process of the Emperor summoning him to the palace for questioning.
At the end of the letter, he mentioned the most critical point.
That is - he wants to be on good terms with the Night King's Mansion. Even if they can't be friends, at least they don't want to be enemies.
He had long intended to show goodwill to the Night King and the Night Queen, but unfortunately he had not had a good opportunity to meet them during this period, nor had he found a good time to express his true feelings.
Wei Bai was unsure, "Your Majesty, Wanyan Gu wants to show us goodwill and seek an alliance. What do you think we should do?"
Ye Xiaohan pointed out: "Based on what he did, analyze it. If you were me, what would you do?"
"Let me think about it." Wei Bai frowned and fell into deep thought.
Wei Bo is the man who manages the purse for the Night King, and is also the think tank that gives advice to the Night King. However, more often, it is the Night King who guides Wei Bo to think, and it is the Night King who teaches his people to improve step by step.
While Wei Bai was thinking, Yun Mujiu remembered something. About half a month ago, she learned from Shopkeeper Wang and the waiter at Yueguilou that Wanyan Gu went to Caoyuantang to see her, and also learned that Wanyan Gu had a brief discussion with the Nantai envoy about Wanyan Sen at Yueguilou.
Yun Mujiu knew that Wanyan Gu wanted to see her just to learn more about the news from the Ye Palace, and it would be best if he could also become friends with her and Ye Xiaohan.
But Yun Mujiu didn't want to pay attention to him, because she still held a grudge against Wan Yan Gu for throwing darts at her for fun. Of course, in addition to holding a grudge because of personal grudges, she also had to consider the overall situation. Ye Xiaohan was the central figure of the Ye Wang faction, and they had to be wary of anyone who wanted to get close to Ye Xiaohan.
Not everyone can have contact with Ye Xiaohan.
At this moment, Wanyan Gu no longer tried to slowly make friends with the Night King and his wife, but played his cards directly. He wrote a letter to express his sincerity and made his request for friendship very clear.
Of course, it is not quite appropriate to say "making friends", as it is a bit unequal. It should be said as "seeking friendship" - Wanyan Gu unilaterally wanted to gain a little pity from Ye Xiaohan, and Wanyan Gu wanted to beg and please Ye Xiaohan.
The room was quiet. Ye Xiaohan was looking at other reports calmly, Yun Mujiu was drinking tea to quench his thirst, and Wei Bai was still in deep thought.
Wei Bai took a step forward and spoke in an official tone, "Your Majesty, if I were you, I would not easily come into close contact with Prince Gu. We in the Ye Palace are in the upper hand and do not need Prince Gu's help. Prince Gu came to us because he wanted to seek a little protection from us."
Ye Xiaohan said "hmm" and stopped reminding them. Instead, he concluded directly: "Don't make friends or enemies. Just watch from the sidelines."
If you want to get close to him, you have to offer something valuable that he will find useful.
In layman's terms, if you want to build a relationship with someone, you have to first look at what kind of person you are. One of the principles of alliance is that both parties have value space. It doesn't mean that if you see a powerful person, you can just go up and build a relationship with him. If you want to be an ally, you have to show that you have a certain amount of capital, strength and intention.
