Emperor of all realms

Chapter 138 The Current Situation of the Great Merchants

Yuan Qiwen smiled and said: "In two days it will be the third prince's 30th birthday. I am sending the invitation for the third prince. I hope Master Sultan can find time to attend."

Participating in the birthday party is of course just an excuse, the third prince wants to make friends with him, it would be best if he can be recruited.

Although Su Yun didn't know much about the royal family's situation, he could guess a thing or two.

He took the invitation, thought about it, and said, "Okay."

It doesn't hurt to look at it.

After Yuan Qiwen achieved his goal, he bowed to Su Yun, bid farewell and left.

Su Yun took the invitation card in his hand, weighed it slightly, and went to find Zhou Ruoyao.

He wanted to know more about the situation of the Yin family, and didn't want to get involved in the troublesome imperial power struggle.

Zhou Ruoyao was naturally very happy about his arrival, and quickly invited him in.

Su Yun cut to the chase and said, "How much do you know about the royal family?"

Zhou Ruoyao thought for a while, and said, "I don't care too much, but I still know something."

She started talking.

Today, Emperor Shang is very romantic, known as three thousand beauties in the harem, so he also has a lot of children. Although he is only in his 60s now, he has already sowed more than a hundred children, which shows how powerful he is.

but!

Ever since Concubine Da entered the palace seven years ago, Emperor Shang has completely changed.

Single-minded!

Three thousand beauties?

Don't want them all, just spoil one person!
Therefore, since seven years ago, no newborns have been born in the palace. However, although Concubine Da has been favored every night, she has never given birth to a boy and a half girl.

Thanks to this, otherwise, based on the Emperor Shang's love for her, she would definitely make her son the crown prince.

However, the Yin family is not peaceful either.

Two years ago, the crown prince passed away suddenly due to illness, which made the succession of the throne full of suspense. The princes with various backgrounds are trying to win over the ministers of the court to build momentum for themselves. Obsessed with female sex, although he is only in his 60s, he has already shown his old and weak state.

However, Emperor Shang has yet to determine the candidate for the crown prince.

Many people are guessing that the Emperor Shang wants to wait for Concubine Da to give birth to a prince, and directly make him the prince.

In this regard, not only the princes will oppose it, but even the court ministers will not agree.

Looking at Emperor Shang's state, it might be enough to live another ten or eight years. By then, when he dies, the new emperor will only be five, six, seven or eight years old?

Dashangben is already on the verge of collapse, and urgently needs a wise king to stand up and preside over the overall situation to realize ZTE.

Oh, you get a little doll to be the emperor, which prince will obey?

At that time, a few princes with powerful backgrounds might rebel!
Then, the big business might be finished.

It's okay, okay, Concubine Da Gui is very "competent", and her belly has never grown bigger.

——If other noble concubines encountered this situation, they would have been thrown into the cold palace long ago, but noble concubine Da still enjoys exclusive favor, and her holy family will not be diminished.

Among the princes, the three princes, the five princes and the nine princes are the most powerful and favored by all officials.

The grandfather of the third prince is Pang Taihe, the only king with a different surname in Dashang!
At the beginning, the ancestors of the Pang family fought with Taizu to conquer the world, and they made great contributions before being crowned king by Taizu. He was also the only king with a different surname in the entire Dashang.

In the Pang family, there have been geniuses from generation to generation. Among the current Pang family, Pang Taihe is a strong man in the Broken Mountain Realm, and his grandson Pang Yuliu is a super genius ranked in the top ten on the young dragon list. It is said that he is not hitting the limit of the Hundred Apertures Realm. Even if he has already entered the Blood Exchange Realm, he will definitely be the second strongman of the Pang Family in the Broken Mountain Realm in the future.

After hundreds of years of management, the Pang family is naturally extremely powerful. With such a grandfather backing him up, the third prince is full of confidence.

Therefore, the third prince is also the most domineering among the many princes.

The fifth prince is the grandson of Quan Yan, Minister of the Ministry of Officials. The Quan family's family is all civil servants, and they are extremely high-ranking ministers. After years of management, the network of relationships is extremely large. It can be said that as long as the Quan family does not fail, the entire group of civil servants will support the five princes. Prince.

As for the words of the fifth prince, it is said that he is a modest gentleman, so he also has the support of civil servants, not only because of Quan Yan's relationship.

As for the Ninth Prince, he is the same as the deceased prince, he is the empress's own flesh and blood, and his grandfather is even more extraordinary, he is the grand marshal of soldiers and horses, the eldest grandson of the god of war, Hu!

When the empress entered the palace, Changsun Hu actually opposed it, and even quarreled with the first emperor. I don't know why, but finally compromised.

This once made many people puzzled. At the beginning, Changsun Hu's daughter entered the palace as a princess and future queen. Why did Changsun Hu object?
O mother of a nation!

Later, as the Shang Emperor became extravagant and obsessed with women, it became more and more serious. Only then did everyone know how vicious Changsun Hu's vision was.

However, since his daughter has already entered the palace and became a queen, can he not do his best to work for the riddled businessman?

In the future, the great merchant's country will belong to his grandson.

It can be seen that the Shang emperor of the previous generation had calculated his wits. He knew that the big business had serious disadvantages and needed Changsun Hu, the god of the army, to sit in charge, so he tied up the Changsun family by means of marriage.

This was a good idea, but the prince died early due to illness, and the princes competed fiercely for the position of prince. The eldest grandson's family could no longer maintain a detached position and had to participate in the end. Therefore, if there is chaos in the future of Dashang, The seizure of the throne by the princes must be one of the important factors.

Su Yun pondered, then, when he went to the third prince's birthday party, he had to be careful not to accidentally get involved in the dispute between the princes.

He is not interested at all!
In his opinion, even a prosperous place like the imperial capital is just a post on his life journey. In the future, he will definitely go out of the big business to see the real big world.

Because, his ultimate goal is against the sky!
He became curious again, and said, "Have you seen Noble Concubine Nada?"

"I've seen it once." Zhou Ruoyao nodded, showing a look of memory, her eyes were a little blurred, "The beauty of Concubine Da does have a kind of charm that can confuse the country and the people, her skin is very fair, and even a little sick, but full of If I were a man, I would definitely be fascinated by her too."

She is also a woman, and she is also one of the top ten stunning beauties on the Hundred Flowers List, but she would give such a high evaluation, which shows how attractive Concubine Da is.

Otherwise, how could Emperor Shang, who was used to beauties, be fascinated by one person and completely abandon the three thousand beauties?

This made Su Yundu feel an impulse, wanting to see what kind of evil concubine this demon concubine who was condemned by the whole world looks like, a disaster for the country and the people.

However, the thought flashed through his mind.

"Did you receive the invitation from the third prince?" Zhou Ruoyao asked suddenly.
