The film and television world begins with the battle for the throne in Kowloon

Chapter 81 Supporting Lao Ba
Li Yan naturally knew that if he brought up this matter at this time, Yinsi would definitely make such a decision, so he stopped refusing and said with a smile: "Since this is what Eighth Brother wants, then I, the Tenth Brother, will not refuse it."

"By the way, myna, what are you going to do next?"

Yinsi looked at Li Yan, not understanding what he meant, and asked, "Tenth brother, Ninth brother's sudden departure has thrown me off balance. I don't know what else Fourth brother and the others are up to, so I dare not move rashly. Tenth brother, if you have any ideas, why don't you speak up? Let's discuss and work out a solution."

Li Yan thought about it seriously, and Yinsi did not disturb him. Although he looked concerned, he did not think that Li Yan could come up with any brilliant ideas.

As the two drank tea, the huge study room fell into silence, each of them thinking about their own things.

After a long while, Li Yan put down the cup and said, "Eighth brother, now that Ninth brother has been killed, the matter has become a big deal, and the emperor will definitely be furious. At this moment, I believe that Fourth brother and the others dare not make any move. It is better to be quiet than to move. We are the victims now. If we act rashly and leave a flaw, they will catch us and blame us, disrupting the situation. It is very likely that they will get away with Ninth brother's matter."

"My Eighth Brother, your plan is correct. After having Fourteenth Brother send the Crown Prince's letter to the Emperor, we will do nothing but wait for the Emperor to make the decision for us. This is the safest way."

Yinsi listened and nodded silently: "What the tenth brother said makes sense, but are we going to let them go like this? Will the emperor finally scold them in order to calm things down?"

"Myna, it's not that I'm going to do nothing, but from today on, our relationship will become even more distant."

As soon as Li Yan finished speaking, Yinsi looked surprised, as if he suspected that he had heard wrongly: "Tenth brother, what did you say? We are going to alienate our relationship. Tenth brother, are you still blaming my brother?"

"Eighth brother, Ninth brother is gone. If our relationship becomes better, then your strength will not be weakened at all. In this way, in order to check and balance you, the emperor will not punish the fourth brother and others too severely."

"At this time, the Fourteenth Brother and I will stay away from you. In this way, your power will be unprecedentedly empty, and you will not be able to complete the task of restraining the Fourth Brother and his men. The Emperor will either increase your power or greatly weaken the Fourth Brother and his men. In this way, without us having to do anything, the Fourth Brother's power will be hit."

"We are now sticking together, which actually helps them. Myna, do you understand the logic behind this?" Li Yan explained patiently.

Yinsi suddenly understood and nodded in agreement: "That's right, Brother Ba is the one who is confused by the situation, or you, Brother Ten, can see things more clearly. Let's do this. We will keep our distance on the surface and see what the Emperor will do!"

"Tenth brother, as long as you are willing to support Eighth Brother, then Eighth Brother will not be afraid of anything. It will not be easy for the Fourth Brother and his men to defeat the Eighth Master's party."

Yinsi eliminated the rift between him and the Tenth Prince, brought them closer together, and his heart began to cheer up again.

Li Yan said with a serious face: "Of course, Eighth Brother, we are brothers of one mind. Although Ninth Brother is gone, you still have me and Fourteenth Brother. Our strength is still greater than that of Fourth Brother. It's just that we have to temporarily disperse and hide our strength, appearing to be weak, so that we can gain the sympathy of the Emperor and the court officials. Wait until the critical moment, and then we can give Fourth Brother and his men a fatal blow!"

"Just my brother, please don't think that I have other thoughts just because of my apparent alienation, which will cause misunderstandings and rifts between us brothers."

Yinsi smiled and said, "This kind of thing will never happen again. Don't worry, my tenth brother. I believe in you."

After the two men had put aside their past grievances, they became closer brothers, and after discussing future matters in detail, Li Yan left the Eighth Master's mansion. Riding his horse all the way home, Li Yan thought to himself that it was hard to predict how his arrow would change the situation.

But with Lao Jiu gone, Lao Ba was obviously weaker, and he tried to get closer to me. This was expected. As long as I showed more enthusiasm in the future, I would definitely become the core of the Ba Ye Party. My identity and current strength meant that although I was not independent enough, I was still a very important person in any force.

As for how the situation will change, I will go back and talk to Mr. Wu later. I have been busy reconciling the relationship between the fourth and eighth brothers, and have not had time to chat with Mr. Wu. His wisdom and life experience are still worth learning from.

After returning to the mansion, Li Yan did not communicate much with the ladies and went straight to Wu Sidao's yard.

Old Wu was about to go out when he saw Li Yan and hurriedly bowed: "Greetings to Master Shi. I didn't expect that Master Shi would return to the mansion at this time. I was just thinking of taking a stroll in the mansion to relax!"

"Oh! Mr. Wu has such a refined taste. It just happens to be the season between spring and summer when everything grows and flowers bloom. The scenery is superb."

"Let me accompany Mr. Wu to the lakeside." Li Yan suggested with a smile.

"Hahaha"

"If the prince is interested in this, then let's go together."

Warm sun and gentle breeze in spring mountains, railings, pavilions, curtains, and willow swings in the courtyard!

In the spring, tender green leaves grow on the branches of trees. The willow trees by the lake hang down their long branches with new buds, hanging above the water like long curtains. Occasionally, schools of fish swim gently under the trees. The calm lake is like a huge mirror, reflecting the trees in the distance, the blue sky, and the white clouds.

In the neatly trimmed garden next to it, unknown flowers are blooming wantonly, insects are jumping around in the grass, and the clear sound of birds singing can be heard in my ears, every sound is pleasant to the ears. This is the season for the growth of life.

The breeze blowing gently from the lake makes people feel relaxed and happy, and the worries in their hearts seem to disappear without a trace in this beautiful environment!

Li Yan's mood also became much calmer. The two of them walked slowly along the path by the lake. Li Yan recounted everything that had happened recently, and told them his strategy to win over the fourth and eighth brothers. He also talked about the assassination of the ninth brother in the study of the palace last night, the reactions of the crown prince and other kings and ministers, and the eighth brother's speculation.

Wu Sidao listened quietly with a faint smile without interrupting Li Yan.

When he heard about the death of the Ninth Prince, he raised his eyebrows and continued listening. After Li Yan finished speaking, he asked Li Yan an irrelevant question.

"Your Majesty, tell me why the Emperor has cracked down on the Eighth Prince's party since the last incident of recommending the crown prince, stripping him of all his duties and leaving him with only an empty title of prince. He did not increase the power of the Ninth Prince, who was closest to him, but instead promoted you to supervise the Xishan Ruijian Camp, and also increased the power of the Fourteenth Prince, ordering him to supervise the Ministry of War?"
