Lou Yun asked, "Big brother, what do you mean?"

There are no outsiders here, Lou Yun is his brother who is like each other, of course Zhu Yunchang has to be outspoken.

Zhu Yunchang said: "Of course, I chose a side, and my position in the court is the most important." If you choose the right one, you will reach the sky in one step, and if you choose the wrong one, you will never recover. ”

Lou Yun remembered Murong Zheng, and he said, "Can you not choose like Murong Zheng?"

Zhu Yunchang smiled and said: "Hahaha, stupid boy, anyone can do it, but you can't, I can remain neutral, because eldest brother I am the vassal king, and my position is the most important." Even if it's a choice, it's the last choice. Murong Zheng is a foreign minister, and he has his own Jianghu power. Moreover, the current Heavenly Dao Alliance is in full swing, and if you look at it according to the pattern of the rivers and lakes......"

Zhu Yunchang turned around again and took out a map from the box.

This map is the map of the Ming Kingdom drawn by the government. It's just that this map has been modified.

This is the map of the rivers and lakes drawn by the girls of the Mercy Flower Society on the basis of the map of the Ming Kingdom.

And each strength has its own color marking.

Zhu Yun often spread out the map on the table.

This map is the latest drawing, and it is a map of the current situation in the martial arts.

Lou Yun looked at it carefully, and this picture was marked in detail.

The Celestial Immortal Society's sphere of influence is blue, while the Mercy Flower Society's is golden, the Zhongzhou Alliance is red, and the Heavenly Dao Alliance is green.

Today, as it does, the area occupied by the Daomeng is the widest.

Jinghu, Liangjiang, Yunnan-Guizhou, Bashu and other places are all in its sphere of influence.

The actual scope of control of the Tianying Society is only some coastal areas of Dongyue, Hunan and Jiangxi, and Qinhuai.

There is no change in the Mercy Flower Society, and it is still the scope of Zhu Yunchang's fiefdom.

As for the Zhongzhou League, it is not a little bit smaller.

Now there is only a small piece of the Central Plains left in the Zhongzhou League, and Kaifeng Bianliang, which is Guo Ye's fiefdom, has also been included in the power map of the Heavenly Dao League. This is a map of the current situation of martial arts, not a map of the distribution of forces, although Kaifeng is included in the sphere of influence of the Heavenly Dao Alliance, but in terms of judicial rights, Kaifeng City is still Guo Ye's fief.

However, on the huge territory of the Heavenly Dao Alliance, there are also some places marked with small white circles.

Lou Yun glanced at the annotations next to the map, these were independent families or sects that had not yet joined, or had not officially joined the Heavenly Dao Alliance.

Among these few white dots, there are Peacock Villa, Bishan Tangmen, Longhu Mountain Heavenly Master's Mansion, etc., but the Tang Gate has only drawn half a circle, which shows that half of the Tang Gate has joined the Heavenly Dao Alliance.

However, the Tang Sect has always been independent of the martial arts and rarely interferes in the affairs of the rivers and lakes, so it doesn't matter whether they join or not.

As for Peacock Villa, it has completely lost its previous prestige, and now Peacock Villa is just an empty shell, with only Lou Yun and Qiu Yuling.

So it's dispensable. I don't have much to say.

Zhu Yunchang said: "See, the expansion speed of the Heavenly Dao Alliance is amazing, if it weren't for the soldiers and horses in my hands, presumably Qin Chuan would have been half occupied by them." The Nangong family was already inclined to join the Heavenly Dao Alliance, but they were forcibly suppressed by me. As for the Tianji Gate...... I don't know if there is something going on inside Tianjimen, since the end of the martial arts conference, Tianjimen has basically stopped intervening in the affairs of the rivers and lakes. Xiaoyaozi, Ling Xuanzi, Ling Xuzi and others have never appeared on the rivers and lakes. ”

"It doesn't matter if they are old, but even the second-generation disciples Yun Ming, Lan Fang and others rarely attend various activities. Now the Tianji Gate seems to lock itself. ”

Zhu Yun often said this, Lou Yun's heart was a little worried, after all, Tianjimen was his master, and he was still the true disciple of Tianjimen. If there really is something going on in Tianjimen, he will definitely do his best.

But he doesn't seem to have been back for a long time. If he had time, he would love to go back and see it. I don't know how the master is doing now. How is Senior Sister Lan Qi, how is Jiang Xinyue......

Zhu Yunchang said: "These are all trivial matters, what you should consider now is the battle between the three kings in the court." ”

Zhu Yunchang briefly described the complicated political battles in the court to Lou Yun, and then asked Lou Yun to make his own choice.

Zhu Yun often said earnestly: "Although Xiaoyun's identity has not yet been confirmed, but you must also have a plan to sit down, if you are not the emperor's parent, then everything will be fine, when the eldest brother sends you a fake death, you will take Nangong Li and them away to fly away, I think Lin Yatou should have a lot of silver in her hands, hundreds of thousands of taels of silver are enough for you to spend a lifetime." ”

"It's also a good idea to find a place to escape when the time comes. But if you are really the emperor's son, you must bear your responsibility. There are three ways in front of you, either you are sent to the guillotine, as for Qiu Yatou and Nangong Li, the two of them are beautiful and fragrant, it is estimated that if they don't commit suicide and martyrdom, I am afraid they will become the playthings of many people, and the second way is that you will use your identity as a prince to fight for that chair. ”

"If you choose the second path, Big Brother can help you. When the time comes, you will follow the eldest brother to Fengxiang, where you ascend the throne, and then the next 'holy decree' to crusade against them will be raised by the eldest brother to attack the capital. ”

In fact, this path was also chosen by Zhu Yunchang himself, and power is always a hot thing, although it is hot, it is the most tempting. Although Zhu Yunchang had no interest in that dragon chair, his current position was that if he didn't kill others, then others would come to kill him. After all, vassal kings have not been trusted since ancient times.

Now the emperor still keeps him only because Warat needs him to check and balance, which is why Zhu Yunchang obviously has the strength to completely expel Warat and Tatar, but only occupies their steppe and raises horses.

If there is no external trouble, he will soon be the end of the bird and the rabbit and the dog.

But if he raises troops on his own, then it will be unjustifiable, and in the end he will end up as a thief and commit chaos.

It took many years for the current emperor to eliminate the influence of the Jingjing. Let the subjects of the world think that he is the true son of heaven.

But if Lou Yun is really the prince, then it will be different.

He can really be a loyal servant of King Qin. With his help, Lou Yun ascended the throne and became emperor, and then crusaded against the "rebels" in the name of the new monarch. That's right.

Lou Yun listened carefully to the surrounding movements, and he whispered, "Big brother, you said that you are going to kill your head." ”

Zhu Yunchang's internal strength is much deeper than Lou Yun's, and he dares to say this with confidence.

Zhu Yunchang said: "It's okay, there is a third way, that is, choose a camp, and then go and defeat the other two." Now in front of you are the princelings, the Han kings, and the Zhao kings. ”
