Liu Yaoyao pondered over it and suddenly thought of the Sixth Prince and the Ninth Prince who had already declared themselves kings in other places.

These two princes are smarter than the eighth prince, and they have people under their command who can fight in battles and offer advice.

The two of them occupied Pingzhou and Yizhou respectively, and the two states were far apart from each other and helped each other.

However, they did not capture any cities, but focused on governing the two states, trying to wait until the two states could become their stable rear base before conquering the world with great force.

Based on this, these two princes have not made any moves recently. If Liu Yaoyao did not want Prince Rong to establish himself as king and completely break off relations with the emperor, she would not have thought of these two.

Now that she thought about it, she knew clearly that these two princes were not easy to deal with. If Prince Rong ascended the throne, these two princes would be his strong rivals.

"Those two are arrogant and look down on others because of their status as princes. Why should I contact them?"

When Prince Rong heard Liu Yaoyao mention the Sixth Prince and the Ninth Prince, his expression suddenly turned ugly.

"Besides, even if I were to contact them and specifically make them aware of my abilities, they wouldn't be able to come to me."

Having said this, Prince Rong didn't know what he was thinking about, his expression was indescribably complicated, but it quickly turned into a look of complacency.

"Prince? Haha, they are not princes at all. They are traitors. I am the one who is destined by heaven and the real emperor. No matter they are the emperor or them, they will become my stepping stones and contribute to my kingdom."

The more he spoke, the more proud he became, and Prince Rong couldn't help but reveal his disdain and inexplicable hatred for the emperor.

Liu Yaoyao found it strange. When Prince Rong mentioned the emperor before, his tone was also extremely complicated, but there was not such strong jealousy.

"Prince Rong, what are you thinking? Do you really want to conquer Luoyang City before you declare yourself king?"

"I think you know what the current situation of Luoyang City is. Why are you still planning to attack it?"

"Do you hate the emperor and want to drive him out of Luoyang City?"

"Then you should cooperate with the Sixth Prince or the Ninth Prince. After all, they both hate the Emperor."

"They are killing each other, and you are the one who benefits. Why not do it?"

Liu Yaoyao stared at Prince Rong gently, but her eyes were extremely sharp, locking onto Prince Rong's expression, trying to discern his true emotions and thus get a glimpse into some of his thoughts.

Prince Rong listened to her words and unconsciously revealed a sarcastic smile, but then returned to normal in an instant.

He frowned and thought deeply. The situation in Luoyang City was indeed not very good at the moment, but Liu Yaoyao said that she had a way to deal with those weirdos.

Although he was wary of Liu Yaoyao, he was also willing to trust her. After all, he was able to quickly escape from Luoyang City and quickly occupy the hilltop with his men, shout at the emperor and force the emperor to back down, all because the letter from Liu Yaoyao scolding him arrived in time.

Afterwards, Liu Yaoyao rushed to his side and gave him advice, which helped him stabilize the situation. He looked at the defeated emperor with a hint of unknown pride.

Now Liu Yaoyao's words made some sense. Although Prince Rong looked down on the emperor's lineage and wanted to occupy Luoyang City as soon as possible, the turmoil caused by the weirdo was enough to force the emperor and his men to death without him taking action.

After weighing the pros and cons, he naturally chose to follow Liu Yaoyao's advice.

"Drag these people away." Prince Rong had an idea in his mind as his thoughts turned.

He immediately had the informants taken away and took out the Dajing map and spread it on the table.

"Which city do you think we should occupy?"

Prince Rong took a fancy to Xuzhou, Jiangsu, a land of plenty and abundance of beauties.

If he occupied Xuzhou, he would not only have more food to feed his troops, but also enjoy the benefits of having many people.

Seeing through his thoughts at a glance, Liu Yaoyao complained in her heart: We are looking for a place to conquer the world, not for you to hug girls left and right, why are you staring at beautiful women?

After complaining in her heart, Liu Yaoyao looked at the map and began to think about which city was most suitable for King Rong.

"What do you think of Xuzhou?" Seeing that Liu Yaoyao didn't even look at Xuzhou, Prince Rong tried hard to control his emotions and asked casually.

Liu Yaoyao's face fell: "Do you think Xuzhou is good?"

Her tone was cold, and when Prince Rong heard it, his heart began to pound as if it wanted to jump out of his chest.

He took a deep breath and pretended to be puzzled and asked: "Xuzhou is a land of fish and rice, it is very suitable for me."

Liu Yaoyao said sarcastically, "There are more beauties there, so you think it's suitable for you, right?"

Without waiting for Prince Rong to open his mouth to refute, Liu Yaoyao continued, "Do you know what we are doing? We are selecting the future capital. You don't think carefully about such an important matter, but instead you are thinking about beauties. Do you want to emulate the old emperor?"

"The old emperor did covet beauty when he got old, but when the Phoenix Gu incident came out, he cared about the Phoenix Gu the most. In his eyes, beauties were just skeletons in white powder, and he didn't take them to heart at all."

"You haven't even started conquering the world yet, how come you are not as good as the old emperor? Your Highness Prince Rong, do you think you will be safe as long as I am here?"

"Then I really appreciate your trust. Don't worry, in order to live up to your trust, I will do my best to help you. But my identity is here. Are you sure you want to put me in the open?"

Liu Yaoyao was also worried that if she said something too harsh, Prince Rong would get angry and embarrassed, so she deliberately brought up the emperor and spoke frankly about her own identity issue.

After listening to Liu Yaoyao's words, Prince Rong felt that he had lost all his face.

A surge of anger welled up in his heart, and he wanted to vent it on Liu Yaoyao so that she would recognize her own status and position and stop interfering in his affairs and decisions.

After Liu Yaoyao's earnest words came out, Prince Rong reflected on himself and suddenly felt that some of his thoughts were indeed inappropriate.

He quickly excused himself: "I have been pretending to be sick for many years, and many noble ladies thought I was going to die, so no one was willing to marry me."

"I have been the King of Rong for so many years, but I don't even have a wife. It's really pitiful."

"Don't you have many concubines? The number of children born to you by those concubines must be more than thirty." Liu Yaoyao's face was calm and her tone was subtle.

Prince Rong said seriously, "How can a concubine be on the stage? Liu Yaoyao, what I need is a principal wife, a queen who can rule the country in the future."

Liu Yaoyao was choked by this sentence and almost didn't know how to refute it.

However, she did not intend to refute it. After all, the princess and the concubine could not be compared.

If she wants Prince Rong to do whatever she wants, she has to be more careful about marrying a princess.

"It is true that the future queen cannot be given to some unpresentable woman, but how could you ignore such an important matter? She is your own wife."
