The situation in the capital changed three times a day. The fourth prince found Marshal Lu's army as an ally, and the seventh prince also gathered an army.

Although that army was not all of the imperial guards, it accounted for half of them, making the Seventh Prince's lineage very powerful and capable of fighting.

The other half of the imperial guards were controlled by the Right Prime Minister's men. As a civil official, the Right Prime Minister should have nothing to do with military power and could not have any relationship with it.

It just so happened that the son of the right prime minister married the daughter of the instructor of the imperial guards. Isn’t that a coincidence?

As soon as Emperor Yong'an died, this relationship was exposed, and the power in the hands of the Right Prime Minister was unparalleled.

As for the Black Armor Army that belongs only to the emperor, it has not yet been determined who it belongs to, but all the adult princes have sent people to contact them.

It is also possible that whoever the Xuanjia Army favors may ascend to the throne.

After Mo Bao finished explaining the advantages and disadvantages of the princes, he asked, "Mother, which of the adult princes do you think has a better chance of ascending to the throne?"

"It's hard to say. It's possible that none of them will be able to take the position."

Yunmeng's unique insights made Mobao look puzzled, so Yunmeng began to analyze the situation to Mobao.

Analyzing the relationship between the emperor and his officials, the two are like the relationship between the east wind and the west wind. Either you overwhelm me or I overwhelm you.

As for balancing the relationship between the two sides, that is very difficult to achieve. An emperor without any ability cannot achieve the balance.

When Yunmeng was teaching Mobao the art of weighing and balancing, assassinations occurred in several princes' residences in the capital.

Yes, the assassins suddenly appeared and launched a sneak attack. If they could kill, they would kill. If they couldn’t kill, there was nothing they could do. Anyway, there was no peace that night.

The next morning, the contest between the officials, the royal family, and the princes continued. The hall was like a vegetable market, with a lot of noise and bustle.

It was as if they were not the ones who committed the murder last night.

Yunmeng watched the excitement all night long, and left the capital in the early morning. He came to an empty corner, flew on his sword, and headed towards the northwest.

Yunmeng came directly to Heilong Mountain to take a look at the development of the valley. It was very good. With the support of money and food, there were more people in the valley.

A row of houses was built near the mountain wall. The people now had their own houses and received wages, which made them more motivated.

When they heard that after the land was reclaimed, those who were willing to stay could stay and farm the land, and the salary was very high, which was much better than working outside.

Suddenly, the people who were reclaiming the land became interested and tried their best to show their talents, hoping that their families could stay and farm the land.

Apart from anything else, the land here is really fertile, and the terrain is also good, making it easy to defend and difficult to attack.

The most important thing is that the owner here is really rich. He has no shortage of money and food, and can also provide seeds. The most important thing is that the host’s family is nice.

I have been working here for many days, and except for the poor living conditions at the beginning, the food is really great.

I never let them go short of food, and I was always generous with my money. I paid them exactly what I said they would pay, and I never found excuses to deduct their wages.

Such a master is really rare, he is such a good person that you can't find even with a lantern.

After several comparisons, they felt that staying here was much better than going back to their hometown.

If I go back to my hometown, I have no land and I have to live by other people's wishes. It's not as good as here.

After Yunmeng took a look around, she thought it was pretty good and was very satisfied with the management here. Then she went to take a look at the big yard.

The big courtyard is where she lives, and the sect’s headquarters is even further away in the mountains.

As for a sect, it is better to remain mysterious, and staying away from people is basic practice.

The sect's progress is very slow. Firstly, it is difficult to transport things in, and secondly, there are not enough people.

Yunmeng didn't feel disappointed. As long as the construction continued, that was enough.

After looking around, Yunmeng was very satisfied. She did not show up, but left a letter for the manager and left.

Yunmeng set up a teleportation point on a nearby hill and then rushed to the border.

She had to go see her old father and see what he was planning to do. If she wanted to fight for the world, she had to prepare early.

It was already afternoon when Yunmeng arrived at the border. After Lord Yun had finished his inspection and just returned to his tent, he received news that someone wanted to see him.

Because the other party was holding the Yun Mansion's badge, the soldiers dared not fail to report it.

Soon, Lord Yun saw Yun Meng in men's clothing in the big tent. At first glance, he looked like a handsome young man, and he did not recognize her as his daughter.

Look carefully, those eyebrows and eyes, isn’t this our own girl?

Lord Yun quickly asked the outsiders to leave, pulled Yun Meng to sit at the table, and handed her tea and snacks. Then he asked in a low voice:

"How did you come?"

"I came to see you." Yun Meng spread his hands, "Emperor Yong'an is dead, I want to hear your opinion."

"Ah, you're talking about this." Lord Yun sighed, "I never thought that Emperor Yong'an would die so quickly.

With his death, I will have to rebel even if I don’t want to.”

"Why do you say that?" Yunmeng asked.

“When Emperor Yong’an was alive, he was confident that he could control me. Even though he was worried about me, he would still leave me in the northwest to guard the area.

He would only send his trusted aides to be with me, instead of transferring me back to the capital."

Lord Yun looked towards the capital and sighed again, "But the other princes don't have that confidence, and neither do the other officials.

Secondly, military power has always been a popular commodity and is something that ambitious people will definitely grab, no matter if it is a newly appointed prince or ambitious officials.

They all eyed the military power of the Northwest Army, hoping to hold power in their own hands.

But as long as I stay in the Northwest, they will never be able to take power away from me.

Coupled with my reputation in the Northwest, they must be getting very uneasy now.

If the succession battle had not yet been decided, I'm afraid someone would have already impatiently reached out to the northwest."

"If you return to the capital, will you be reused?" Yunmeng asked again.

Lord Yun shook his head. It was impossible to use him in an important position. None of those princes were capable. Even an adult prince might not be able to defeat the officials.

Those old foxes will not miss the opportunity to help the young emperor ascend to the throne. Prince Rui is so stupid that he can't beat the officials.

Eventually, the young emperor came to the throne and all officials were given titles, but Yun Lingzhi was definitely not among them.

The reason is very simple, no official can beat him!

Lord Yun thinks that it is really bad for a person to be too outstanding. It is very bad because it is too easy to be envied by others.

Looking at the narcissistic Lord Yun, Yun Meng was speechless. No, does mother know that father is so narcissistic?

However, my old father and my mother have the same opinion. They both believe that the young prince should ascend to the throne.

"So mother and the others are leaving the capital now?" Yun Meng asked.

"Now is not the best opportunity. We have to wait until the young emperor takes the throne before leaving. We also have to pretend that the young emperor cannot tolerate our Yun family.

Otherwise, if you leave, you will be cursed. This reputation is like a knife. A good reputation may not be of any use, but a bad reputation will really affect the overall situation. "
