Chapter 1982 Wu Fan's plan

Wu Fan initially provoked the relationship between the Xie family and Jin Zheyun, just to muddy the waters of Tianji Kingdom, and then he could wait for an opportunity to solve Zhao Qi's problem.

However, plans cannot keep up with changes. The sudden death of the old emperor made Jin Zheyun no longer intend to force Zhao Qi to stay. Zhao Qi's engagement was easily resolved, and Wu Fan no longer had to try to solve this matter in other ways.

But what he did before was not useless. Muddling the waters of Tianji Kingdom was a good thing for Yanfeng Kingdom, which now urgently needed time to recuperate.

Wu Fan was so concerned about Yanfeng Kingdom, naturally not because he was very loyal to Yanfeng Kingdom. Before, in his heart, Yanfeng Kingdom was not even as important as Nanping Kingdom.

But after the death of the old emperor, things became different, especially after learning from Jin Zheyun that several princes of Yanfeng Kingdom had been fighting for the throne, and might even have used despicable means, Wu Fan suddenly attached importance to Yanfeng Kingdom.

He wanted to help Zhao Qi ascend the throne, just like Wu Ya!

Yanfeng is one of the four superpowers. If Wu Fan can secretly control Yanfeng, it will definitely be a lot of good for him. If Zhao Qi can ascend to the throne, then, with the relationship between Wu Fan and Zhao Qi, Yanfeng is no different from being under his control.

Once he can control Yanfeng, Wu Fan can really gain a foothold in this game world and have real confidence.

Of course, it is not easy to help Zhao Qi ascend to the throne. The difficulty is even several times greater than helping Wu Ya ascend to the throne.

Yanfeng is different from Nanping.

Except for Wu Ya, all the royal family members of Nanping were slaughtered, so Wu Ya could ascend to the throne, but even so, many people opposed it at the beginning.

On the Yanfeng side, Zhao Qi still has many brothers and younger brothers. With the presence of the prince, it is very difficult for Zhao Qi, as a woman, to ascend the throne, because, in the public's impression, women are not qualified to inherit the throne.

What's more, when the old emperor died, he left a will, which made it even more difficult.

The most important point is Zhao Qi's own will. If Zhao Qi herself does not want to be emperor, Wu Fan will not force her. Everything depends on Zhao Qi's will.

Of course, it is not to say that there is no advantage at all.

Wu Ya's ascension to the throne has invisibly made people in the world think that it is impossible for a woman to be emperor. There is a loophole. With Wu Ya as an example, it seems that it is not completely unacceptable for another woman to be emperor.

Secondly, from Jin Zheyun, Wu Fan knew that Zhao Lun's ascension to the throne was a bit strange, and the edict left by the old emperor was likely to have problems, which gave Wu Fan an opportunity.

Of course, everything will be known after returning to Yanfeng Country.

Some of the things Wu Fan did in Tianji Country because of Zhao Qi invisibly made the contradictions in Tianji Country more acute. Wu Fan actually understood that the reason why he was able to provoke success was not entirely his credit. It was mainly because there were contradictions and mutual distrust between Jin Zheyun and the Xie family, which gave him the opportunity to provoke.

"Did you mess up the things your majesty told you to do?" Wu Fan asked.

Seeing Du Dezhong's expression, he could guess roughly.

Sure enough, Jin Zheyun nodded and said, "Yes, I didn't do what His Majesty asked me to do, but instead aroused the Xie family's vigilance. I feel that I am ashamed of His Majesty's trust."

"This is not actually your fault." Wu Fan comforted: "The Xie family is not a small family. They have been operating in your Tianji country's army for many years and have long been everywhere. Maybe when you are still planning something, the Xie family has learned the news. In this case, it is naturally difficult for you to succeed."

Du Dezhong nodded and said, "You are right. Our actions were indeed known to the Xie family in advance. I am investigating the inner ghost around me."

"General Du, I want to ask you a question." Wu Fan said lightly: "Based on the current situation, there must be a conflict between the royal family and the Xie family. Who do you think will win in this kind of conflict? "

"Of course it's the royal family!" Du Dezhong said without thinking: "Although the Xie family is a noble family, it is far inferior to the royal family."

"Really?" Wu Fan smiled lightly and said, "General Du is so confident?"

"Of course!" Du Dezhong said, "It's not that I look down on the Xie family, but no matter how strong the Xie family is, it is just a noble family in our Tianji country. How can it be compared with the royal family?"

Although this operation failed, it did not affect Du Dezhong's trust in the royal family at all. He believed that the failure of this operation was only because he promised too much and was negligent in the operation. Once Jin Zheyun was fully prepared, whether it was a head-on conflict or a secret assassination, the winner would only be the royal family.

However, Wu Fan smiled and said, "General Du seems to have forgotten about King Xi."

"King Xi?" Du Dezhong was slightly stunned: "King Xi is already dead, what does this have to do with him?"

"How did King Xi die? Did General Du find out?"

Du Dezhong shook his head and said, "It has not been investigated yet. His Majesty has sent people to investigate this matter. I believe the truth will soon be revealed to the world."

Wu Fan smiled disdainfully in his heart, but said calmly on his face: "Before this matter is investigated clearly, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the biggest suspect. In addition, the matter between the Crown Prince and Princess Xi is a royal scandal. Princess Xi said before that it was the Crown Prince who seduced her and even told her that he wanted to eliminate King Xi. Although Princess Xi seems to have changed her tone today, this matter has been widely spread. How many people do you think will believe His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"

Du Dezhong frowned slightly and said: "Even so, what can we do? This is an internal matter of the royal family. What does it have to do with the Xie family?"

"Of course it is related." Wu Fan said: "This matter has been widely spread and has seriously affected the image of the royal family among the people. As long as the people of the Xie family are not stupid, they will definitely secretly add fuel to the flames and spread this matter more outrageously. At that time, how do you think the people will view the royal family? How many people will still support the royal family unwaveringly?"

Hearing this, Du Dezhong frowned a little deeper.

In fact, in the past two days, Du Dezhong has heard many people in the army secretly discussing this matter. This incident has indeed greatly reduced everyone's impression of the royal family, but Du Dezhong feels that Wu Fan's words are too alarmist. Even if everyone is secretly discussing it, so what? It will not have any impact on the overall situation.
