Starting My Cultivation With Time Management

Chapter 553: Long Long Attends Politics Class

In the hall, the atmosphere was rather awkward.

Longhu had already gritted his teeth in his heart, but he knew that he couldn't blame the clan for this matter, so he could only keep silent and act dull.

The patriarch Qin Beiwang and the two great elders also saw that Longhu was very unhappy, so they comforted her one after another, claiming that the clan would definitely not force the two to make sacrifices, but now that Qilin is so powerful, it is not easy to push her away directly. Refuse to say so.

Longhu couldn't tell that this was a tactic to slow down the army, and immediately felt even more depressed.

Long Long first heard from Qin Beiwang that Qilin wanted to betroth Qi Yingzhu to him as his first wife, and he still felt a certain sense of trepidation—a female fox is fine, and a female dragon is also good, isn't this tigress a bit too much? ?

However, many years of lurking as a traitor have already cultivated Long Long's character of being as careful as a hair.

The so-called take one step, think about two steps, see three steps, step by step, fully described Long Long's cautious and witty character.

He just went through the currently known information and the corresponding situation in his mind, and immediately felt that something was wrong.

After thinking about it again, suddenly the thoughts in my mind suddenly opened up, and I screamed a few times, and said in a serious tone:

Patriarch, please screen back to the left and right.

Qin Bei was stunned for a moment, we were the only ones in the hall, why did we retreat?

However, he also reacted quickly and winked at the Great Elder Qin Chaocang.

Qin Chaocang quickly cast spells, and Longwei spread in all directions.

There is no one around. After a while, the Great Elder confirmed, You can speak now.

This junior is unclear about something, and I would like to ask the three seniors. Long Long asked slowly, Now that the patriarch of Qilin and the emperor of the demon clan, Qi Weihuan, has fallen, there are two people who can succeed him. One is his illegitimate son, and the other is his son. younger brother Qi Weihong, are you right?

That's right. Qin Bei looked.

What's the attitude of Patriarch Qilin? Long Long asked again.

Qin Beiwang was a little disappointed, that's it?

You don't even know the political situation of the Qilin family. Did you listen well to your usual political class?

But he quickly realized the problem: Long Long's usual political class, his grades are the best in the class! How is it possible not to know this?

It's just an inductive question!

So Qin Beiwang showed an encouraging expression, and followed him:

Patriarch Qilin will never let Qi Weihong succeed him.

Why? Long Long asked calmly, but there was no expression on his face asking for an answer.

Great Elder Qin Chaocang glanced at the thoughtful Longhu beside him, and explained:

Because Qi Weihong excessively borrowed the power of the Xuanwu clan when he and Qi Weihuan fought for the heirloom, as a result, his basic power now almost completely overlaps with that of the Xuanwu clan.

Introducing foreigners to participate in the family's civil war is a big taboo for any monster clan, so Qilin Patriarch has long been deeply disgusted with Qi Weihong.

Of course, Long Long was very clear about these basic political common sense. It is said that Qi Weihong not only married the Xuanwu clan in his early years, but also signed many deeply binding treaties in private in order to win the heir.

So much so that the neutral factions within the Qilin clan couldn't stand it anymore, and called the Qilin prince the son-in-law of the turtle family. At the last moment, many elders came out to support Qi Weihuan, and finally pushed him to the position of patriarch and emperor. —It is really because Qi Weihong pursues strength too much, and even sacrifices the interests of the family in turn, which makes many qilins of nationalism feel cold towards him.

In that case. Long Long asked knowingly again, Why didn't Patriarch Qilin kill Qi Weihong, but let him continue to roam free in Beizhou?

Of course it's because of the protection of the Xuanwu Patriarch. Qin Beiwang replied.

In terms of the overall strength of the Immortal Rank, the Qilin clan is stronger than the other monster clans in the Eastern Emperor's Realm, otherwise they would not be able to sit firmly on the throne of the royal family.

But the problem is that if the Qilin and Xuanwu clans fight each other with immortal ranks, the other monster clans must benefit in the end-naturally no one will be stupid enough to tear their faces into a death fight.

Therefore, unless they have the strength to fully consume the opponent, everyone would rather use the immortal ranks as a nuclear weapon to deter, and usually use negotiations, mediation or proxy wars to resolve conflicts. This also constitutes a rather unique politics in the Eastern Emperor's Realm. ecosystem.

That is to say, Qi Weihong is protected by the Xuanwu clan, and the Qilin patriarch does not want to tear himself apart with Xuanwu, so he tolerates his existence for the time being. However, it is absolutely unacceptable that the Xuanwu clan uses Qi Weihong's hand to interfere in the internal affairs of the Qilin clan. Long Long finally concluded that seeing the three dragon elders nodding one after another, he asked again:

Since this is the case, then who will Patriarch Qilin choose to replace Qi Weihong to inherit the throne?

Of course it's the illegitimate child. Longhu finally couldn't help but replied.

She really didn't like Long Long's deliberate trickery, who deliberately didn't say anything when he had the answer.

Oh? Long Long was noncommittal, and asked again, But, if you stand on the side of the illegitimate child, won't you attract the influence of the queen's mother clan? Could it be that the Baihu clan is easier to deal with than the Xuanwu clan?

That's because the two are fundamentally different. Qin Beiwang explained, Qi Weihong is already highly bound to the Xuanwu clan, and the two are almost inseparable.

And the illegitimate child is not the Queen's own, so both the blood relationship and the relationship are much weaker. The Qilin Patriarch has enough time to bring Qi Weihuan's illegitimate son to the Qilin clan.

And the Queen's recognition of the illegitimate child is also a supplement to his weak legal rationality. The support of the White Tiger Clan behind it can also help the Qilin Clan to resist the interference of the Xuanwu Clan. Therefore, they can cooperate with each other.

Having said that, Qin Beiwang smiled and said to Long Long:

You think I'm right?

Long Long was speechless. It was something that could be explained clearly by the white tiger is weak and can be an alliance, but the Xuanwu is strong and cannot make peace, but he had to waste time with so many words... So he said with a smile:

The patriarch is wise, but his eyes are like torches.

It's just that the younger generation has another question: If the Qilin Patriarch chooses to support the Queen's illegitimate son and form an alliance of interests with the White Tiger Clan, will the Xuanwu Clan be able to fight against it?

Qin Beiwang and the two elders immediately thought deeply.

No. The Great Elder Qin Chaocang took the lead in making a judgment, There are Qilin ancestors in the Qilin to deter them. It is estimated that the support for illegitimate children will be greater than the opposition. Coupled with the powerful support of the White Tiger Clan, it will have an absolute impact on the Xuanwu Clan. Advantage.

Then, what will the Xuanwu clan do when they learn that Qilin Patriarch has made a decision? Long Long continued to ask, Will they abandon Prince Qi Weihong and seek peace?

It's absolutely impossible! Qin Beiwang said without hesitation, The Xuanwu clan has invested too much political cost in Qi Weihong. If we abandon Qi Weihong and seek peace this time, it will be tantamount to wasting all previous efforts!

Furthermore, if the power falls to the queen's illegitimate child faction, even if the Xuanwu clan admits the status quo in fear of the strength of the opposing camp, then the benefits they originally obtained from the alliance with the Qilin clan will be forced to give up to the White Tiger clan!

The other two dragon clan elders, following Qin Beiwang's words, suddenly thought of the key point that had been neglected by them:

In fact, when Emperor Qi Weihuan was in power, the political situation in the Eastern Emperor Realm remained very stable.

He hates his wife Lu Ya, but tolerates her staying by his side; he hates his younger brother Qi Weihong, but allows him to live freely in Beizhou.

As a result, the White Tiger Clan and the Xuanwu Clan restricted each other, and neither could bear the cost of pushing the Qilin Clan to the opposite side, so they had to maintain a long-term and stable alliance with the Qilin Clan, so that Qi Weihuan could calmly deter the Dongzhou Dragon Clan, and be able to deal with the Nanzhou Dragon Clan calmly. The Xuanniao clan used troops to finally achieve a powerful rule over the entire Eastern Emperor Realm.

However, the stupidity of Empress Lu Ya, and Qi Weihuan's carelessness and sudden death caused this balance to be completely broken.

Driven by huge expected benefits, sunk costs in the early stage, and speculative adventurism (based on the long-term peace in the past, all ethnic groups desire to gain more benefits), both the Baihu and Xuanwu clans will inevitably support themselves in the Qilin clan. Spokesperson.

In other words, this is no longer a struggle for the heirs of the Qilin clan. It is very likely that the proxy war hosted by Xizhou and Beizhou is even the prelude to an all-out war!

Thinking of this, the three elders of the Dragon Clan looked at Long Long in unison.

This time, the expressions on their faces were no longer the amiable expressions of I'm right that they had taught the younger generation, but a serious expression that required his immediate confirmation.
