Chapter: 4385
His words were half true and half false. Although they sounded righteous, they were full of his own selfishness.
In terms of power, he is not as good as his second brother Li Guanglong now.
If he can join forces with his eldest brother Li Wenxing, then his chances of winning will be much greater.
Of course, the most important thing is that once Li Guanglong is overthrown, the position of the crown prince will belong to him.
Because Li Wenxing can't compete with him at all.
This is his plan.
"It seems that this is the only way." Li Xingwen nodded thoughtfully.
For the sake of the Li Dynasty and his own interests, he must prevent Li Guanglong from taking the throne.
"So, my eldest brother agreed?" Li Juntang raised his eyebrows.
"For both public and private reasons, I cannot let Mu Xuefeng succeed in his plot. However, with our combined power, we are still a little short of the strength needed to fight against Mu Xuefeng and his men. We need to find a few more powerful allies," Li Wenxing analyzed.
"Four of the eight great families have already chosen to join the Mu Palace. We can win over the other four, but in this regard, we still have to rely on your connections, big brother," Li Juntang said.
"I do know some old friends among the big families. It shouldn't be a big problem to win them over."
As he said that, Li Wenxing suddenly changed the subject: "But compared to the big families, the four royal families are the ones we focus on winning over. Putting aside the Mu Palace, there are also the Zhao family, the Cui family, and the Chen family."
"The Cui family is closely connected with the Mu Palace. It is estimated that they have joined the second brother's camp. It is difficult to win them over. Now we can only start with the Zhao family and the Chen family."
Li Juntang said calmly: "Brother, I have a good relationship with the Zhao family. I can be a lobbyist and try my best to win them over. As for the Chen family, you have to do it yourself."
"Okay, I will go to the Chen family in person tomorrow morning to see what Duke Chen thinks." Li Wenxing nodded and did not refuse.
If the Chen family can be won over, it will definitely be a great help.
"Brother, I have something else to ask of you." Li Juntang said again.
"Just ask if you have anything to say. We are in the same boat now and should help each other." Li Wenxing said with great pride.
"Brother, if we want to seize the initiative, we must have a big enough advantage in intelligence, and this is exactly Qingcheng's specialty. Her Baixiaotang is definitely in the top three in intelligence collection in the entire Dragon Kingdom. If Qingcheng helps us, things will go more smoothly." Li Juntang said.
Among the many princes and princesses, Li Qingcheng is undoubtedly very outstanding.
And unlike their military and political development, the other party mainly builds intelligence agencies. After years of accumulation, the intelligence network can be said to be spread throughout the Dragon Kingdom.
Definitely not to be underestimated.
"You mean, let me bring Qingcheng over too?" Li Wenxing narrowed his eyes.
"Brother, you have a good personal relationship with Qingcheng. As long as you ask, I believe she will not refuse." Li Juntang smiled.
"Not necessarily." Li Wenxing shook his head: "I know Qingcheng's character. She never participates in party disputes. She will never agree to help us deal with her second brother."
Li Qingcheng's intelligence agency is naturally beyond reproach, but the other party is very principled in doing things. When it comes to competition between princes, they always remain neutral.
"Brother, we just let Qingcheng provide intelligence, not let her directly participate in it. I don't think this is against the principle. At most, we can pay more for intelligence." Li Juntang said.
"This..." Hearing this, Li Wenxing frowned slightly and hesitated.
"Brother, everything is important for the overall situation!" Li Juntang said earnestly.
"Okay, I'll try, but I can't guarantee that it will work." After a little contemplation, Li Wenxing finally nodded.
Although he didn't want to drag Li Qingcheng into the water, the current political situation was turbulent and undercurrents were surging. As a royal heir, he couldn't stay out of it.
Some things had to be done even if he didn't want to. JrNovels.com
