"I've long heard of your name, Lord Yangquan.”
He started off with polite words and introduced himself. Lu Buwei revealed the shrewdness of a businessman.
"May I know why you have come to visit?”
He thought that someone wanted to be a guest in the mansion. It was Lady Hua Yang's younger brother, Yang Quanjun, Mi Chen. He didn't pay much attention to it at first.
"Lord Yangquan, do you know that you are not far from the day of disaster? The guests under you are all of high status and power, but it is not a good thing.”
"After all, His Majesty is old and the position of Crown Prince has always been vacant. Once another young master succeeds to the throne, Lord Yang Quan's position will be in danger.”
Lu Buwei kept them in suspense and then pretended to be worried by threatening them.
"This!"
After hearing that, Mi Chen's expression changed drastically. It did make sense.
The king had not appointed a crown prince. If the young masters of other forces ascended the throne, they would most likely suppress the core of the Chu faction, and they happened to be within the scope.
"Lu Buwei, which young master are you representing?”
Mi Chen had some basic knowledge about this, so he remained cautious.
"Third Young Master is a strange man. Lord Yangquan can send someone to confirm it.”
Since they were planning to take the crown prince's position, they had to cooperate with each other. Lu Buwei revealed his identity to show his sincerity.
It was not easy to seize the position of Crown Prince. At present, borrowing external forces was the best choice.
One had to know that Eldest Young Master Ying Rui's military position was the Left Shu Commander, and he controlled an elite army. Second Young Master Ying Zi Ran had a certain amount of power behind him.
" So it's the Third Young Master's mutant…"
When he heard that it was the Third Young Master who was neither of high nor low status and did not belong to any force, Mi Chen could not help but be tempted. He was a partner that suited them.
A while ago, he heard that a merchant had come to the Third Young Master's residence. He was also a hanger-on with the surname Lu.
"I wonder what plans Sir Lu has?”
Since the Third Young Master intended to fight for the position of Crown Prince, Mi Chen also wanted the Chu family to maintain the status quo, so he changed the way he addressed them.
"Although the king has yet to appoint a crown prince, King An (Ying Zhu) still has the greatest possibility of succeeding the throne.”
"And Yang Quanjun's elder sister, Lady Hua Yang, has yet to have a son, so how could the future king value the former Empress Dowager?”
Lu Buwei, who had done a lot of research before coming here, began to explain each and every one of them.
"Sir Lu, please continue.”
The more he listened, the more reasonable he felt. Mi Chen nodded and became more polite.
"Third Young Master is talented and virtuous. He lacks a powerful mother in the palace.”
"And Lady Hua Yang has someone to rely on. She can keep her position and maintain the current power of the Chu family.”
At this point, Lu Buwei didn't hold back anymore and revealed the true scheme of Ying Yiren and himself.
"Fortunately, Sir Lu came in time. Otherwise, the one who suffered would have been my Chu faction.”
Thinking about it carefully, Mi Chen felt like he was waiting for death, so he said with lingering fear.
"Lord Yangquan is too polite. This matter is beneficial to both of us.”
Lu Buwei heaved a sigh of relief when the other party took his advice. The initial stage of persuasion had come to an end.
He believed that as long as he could get in touch with Lady Hua Yang, Eldest Young Master Ren would be able to accumulate a lot of military merits. He was not afraid of the power behind Second Young Master.
"There's no time to lose. I'll immediately go see my sister and explain the stakes.”
Knowing that the situation was not good, Mi Chen did not waste any time. He planned to talk to his sister, Madam Hua Yang, about it.
With more time and more initiative, it would not be too late.
"Thank you, Lord Yangquan."
Lu Buwei had been waiting for this sentence to come to his doorstep.
"Sir Lu is too polite. This is also my business.”
Mi Chen did not want to meddle in other people's business since it did not involve him.
"I, Lu Buwei, am just a businessman. One day, I will be able to hold power. I believe that I won't be too far away.”
'Helping Ying Yiren is helping me,' Lu Buwei thought to himself.
As long as he succeeded, he would be able to go through a heaven-shaking change and become a person above Great Qin.
"Sis, it's like this…"
Then, the Lord of Yangquan, Mi Chen, went into the palace to tell his sister, Lady Hua Yang, everything.
"Since things have come to this, we can only plan ahead.”
Although she didn't show it, Madam Hua Yang, who was from Empress Dowager Xuan's Mi family, sounded more or less helpless.
Even though she was the princess consort of the prince and might become the Qin princess consort in the future, she did not have any children.
As long as the next monarch ascended the throne, it would mean that she had no one to rely on in the palace, and her position would become extremely awkward.
"Sister, you finally figured out everything and found a young master to adopt.”
After Lu Buwei's persuasion, Mi Chen, who agreed with him, chimed in.
"Sister Rong, think about it…"
Inheriting some of the talent of her ancestor, Empress Dowager Xuan, Mi Yue, Madam Hua Yang was not bad at politics. She did not agree to it directly as she had expected, but remained calm.
"Yes, sister."
Her sister was much more capable than she was, so Mi Chen had no opinion on how to think further in the future.
" Eldest Young Master Ying Rui…Second Young Master Ying Zi Wei…Third Young Master Ying Yi Ren…"
Information about the three young masters began to appear in Empress Dowager Hua Yang's mind, weighing the pros and cons.
The eldest son, Ying Rui, lost his mother at a young age. He became a centurion at the age of twelve due to his military achievements. He participated in the Battle of Changping at the age of sixteen and controlled an absolute elite force at the age of twenty-four.
Second Young Master Ying Ziqi's mother was an old noble, and the power behind her was not weak. Most of the time, she had conflicts with the Chu family.
The third young master Ying Yiren's mother was of average birth, but she was both talented and virtuous, and her presence was the lowest.
"Chen, who told you that just now?”
Many thoughts flashed through her mind. Madam Hua Yang raised her head and suddenly said,"
Comparing the three young masters, who had the greater potential and was more suitable to be adopted under his name was undoubtedly the eldest young master, Ying Rui.
"Elder sister, that's what the third young master Ying Yiren specially sent a guest to say.”
Hearing that, Mi Chen did not hide anything and answered truthfully.
"No wonder…"
When she heard that it was Ying Yiren who had no sense of existence, a look of understanding appeared on Madam Hua Yang's face. No wonder he found her through his brother.
Among the three young masters of the same generation, Ying Yiren was the weakest. He wanted to use her name to fight for the position of Crown Prince, and his calculations were ringing.
The other party did not need to pay too much. What he drew was an empty pie, while she paid her own connections and had to think of ways to push him to the top.
"That Ying Yiren wants to be the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace. Isn't it a bit wishful thinking? If he wants to be adopted, the first choice is Eldest Young Master Ying Rui.”
As the thoughts in her mind were reversed, Madam Hua Yang shook her head gently. She was not stupid enough to benefit others.
"Sis, then should we…"
Mi Chen asked anxiously when he saw that his sister was not moved at all.
