Chapter 14738 Planning
When Xu Kang returned home, several brothers of the Xu family all went to Xu Kang's study. As soon as Xu Kang came in, they immediately stood up. Xu Kang nodded at them and then sat down. They knew who Xu Kang was going to meet, and it was precisely because they knew that they were worried. After all, their relationship with the Zhang family and other big families was really not good at the moment.

Xu Kang glanced at a few people and then said, "The Zhang family has discovered something. The prince is intentionally interfering with military power, and it is the prince's sixth commander. The most important thing is that he succeeded. Of course, the prince did it in secret, but that's nothing. The most terrifying thing is that His Majesty has already known about this, so he wants us to return to the alliance."

When the brothers of the Xu family heard what Xu Kang said, they were all stunned, and then they looked at each other. For a moment, they didn't know what to say. This news was indeed a bit too explosive. The prince actually intervened in the military power and succeeded. The most important thing was that His Majesty actually knew about this matter. The significance of this matter was different.

The second son of the Xu family said, "Brother, how did you decide?" They all knew that Xu Kang must have made a decision today, but they just wanted to know how Xu Kang made the decision. After all, this matter was very important.

Xu Kang said, "I decided to cooperate with them, but not to return to the alliance. Your Majesty is very sensitive about military power now. It is too risky for His Majesty to do this. And you should also know that if His Majesty scolds His Majesty the Crown Prince, then everything will be fine. It means that His Majesty is not angry. But now His Majesty has said nothing, and this is the most important thing. I am worried that His Majesty wants to see what His Majesty the Crown Prince does, and this is the most dangerous thing." Xu Kang expressed his concerns, and the Xu brothers nodded. This was exactly what they were most worried about. If this was really the case, then the Crown Prince would be in danger.

Xu Kang continued, "So I cooperated with Zhang Ruyi and the others. I told them that we couldn't return to the alliance, but we could cooperate. However, we didn't always cooperate, unless we encountered something extremely dangerous. For example, if His Majesty wanted to deal with us, they would stand up to help us. If His Majesty wanted to deal with them with all his strength, we would also have to stand up. This is to ensure the safety of both parties and to ensure that neither of us would be eliminated. You can see that His Majesty is now using us to check and balance them, but if His Majesty really deals with the prince, then for us, because once the prince If he is deposed, then other princes may take the throne, and other princes are all related to their families. If other princes take the throne, they may deal with us. Therefore, it is also beneficial for us to cooperate with them now, but we cannot rely on them completely. We still have to have our own strength. Military power is our strength, but we cannot use military power now, but we must also ensure that the Third Army must be controlled by our family. Now is not the time. Wait for a while, find an opportunity, and let you go to the Third Army. I can rest assured when you are there. "Several people responded.

Xu Kang then let out a long sigh and said, "You may not understand some of the prince's recent actions, but in fact, Zhang Ruyi and others should also be involved. Haven't you noticed? Although those big families have been against the prince recently, they have accomplished everything the prince wanted to do. Those big families are flattering the prince. This is what Zhang Ruyi said himself. Perhaps it is because the prince has been too successful recently that he wants military power. In this situation, we have no way to remind him. We can only watch how things develop. We just need to be prepared." When they heard what Xu Kang said, they all nodded.

What Xu Kang and the others didn't know was that there was a group of people who were also staring at them and watching coldly, and this group of people were none other than the Elders' Council. So the people in the Elders' Council also knew that the prince wanted military power, and that Zuo Qiu Wen knew about this. They even knew that all the major families knew about this, so the people in the Elders' Council decided to discuss what they should do.

When Gong Xuandan was sitting in the alchemy room, there was a projection in front of him. In the projection were the other people from the Elders' Council. Gong Xuandan said, "Now the situation is very clear. The prince controls the prince's six rates. He thinks he has controlled the prince's six rates without knowing it. But in fact, Zuo Qiuwen and those big families all know about this. If this is the case, then this matter is very interesting. How we can make use of it is the key." The others all nodded. They thought so too.

Then a person from the Council of Elders spoke up: "This matter can indeed be put to good use. My idea is, can we use this incident to cause chaos in the Star Empire? If Zuoqiu Wen deals with Zuoqiu Zheng for this, then won't the Star Empire be in chaos?" No one else said anything. Obviously, this idea was good, but they felt it was a little inadequate.

Gong Xuandan said, "It's a good idea, but there is a problem. The power of the prince is too weak. To be honest, a prince with six rates is not enough to fight against Zuo Qiuwen. As long as Zuo Qiuwen exerts his power, the prince with six rates will be finished. By then, the Star Empire will soon return to peace. At worst, Zuo Qiuwen can find a prince to be the prince. Moreover, Zuo Qiuwen is not old and can live for hundreds of years. Therefore, even if there is chaos in the Star Empire, it will not be too chaotic, and this opportunity will be wasted. So we must take a long-term view. I have a way. Do you think we can secretly help Zuo Qiuzheng and make him stronger?"

When everyone heard what Gong Xuandan said, they were all stunned, and then they all nodded. One of them said, "We secretly help Zuo Qiuzheng to make him stronger, and then make the conflict between them bigger. In this way, if they really start fighting one day, the Star Empire will definitely be in chaos, and it will be a big chaos. This is our goal. I think this method is good."

The others all nodded. They also thought that this method was good. If this plan really succeeded, then the Star Empire might really be in chaos. After all, Zuo Qiu Zheng's identity was really powerful. He was the crown prince. This identity was very useful because even if the crown prince really succeeded in the rebellion, under normal circumstances, not many people would stand up against him because he was originally orthodox. This was a very strange situation. The crown prince was orthodox, and in principle he did not need to rebel. But in fact, there were many crown princes who rebelled, but almost none of them succeeded. However, every time the crown prince rebelled, many people followed him to rebel because the merit of following the dragon was really too tempting. Therefore, the people of the Elders' Council decided to use this plan.

Gong Xuandan said, "We already have our people beside Zuo Qiuzheng, and they are of high status. Can we use them to make the prince's power stronger? But how to make the prince's power stronger is a problem."

Everyone nodded, and then one of them spoke up: "I heard that the poison pill used by the prince is very powerful. I don't know where the prince got it from, but I think it's a waste for the prince to use it like this. It only allows him to control the prince's six rates. If he uses the poison pill on other places, the effect may be better, for example, on the governors of each star. What do you think?" One of them spoke up.

Everyone's eyes lit up. This was a good idea. If the prince really used this poison pill on the governors of each star, it would be very effective. The prince would be in control of the planet. If the prince controlled enough planets, his power would certainly be strong enough. When some problems arose between him and Zuoqiu Wen, a war might break out between them. If the prince had the support of those governors, the Star Empire would be in chaos. If those governors did not support the prince, it would be just a pipe dream for the prince to confront Zuoqiu Wen. But once he had the support of those governors, the consequences would be serious. Just like Zuoqiu Zhi, he did not get the support of those governors, and in the end the rebellion was quelled with just one battle. But if he had the support of those governors, Zuoqiu Zheng would have the capital to confront Zuoqiu Wen, and that would actually be a large-scale rebellion. It would not be resolved in a day or two, and it would last for a long time, and this was exactly what they hoped to see.

When he thought of this, Gong Xuandan immediately said, "We can use our people to tell Zuo Qiuzheng about this idea. It would be best if we pretend to tell Zuo Qiuzheng accidentally, so that Zuo Qiuzheng will not doubt him. He has also found the correct way to use the Gu Du Dan. This way, we won't suffer any loss and we don't even have to do anything to get things done. What do you think?"

Everyone nodded. They all thought that this was a good idea. Gong Xuandan said, "If no one objects, then let's do it. I will have our people tell the prince about this as soon as possible. If there is nothing else, then let's all go." Everyone agreed and nodded. Then the meeting was dispersed.

After everyone had dispersed, Gong Xuandan sent a letter to Li Mingde, telling him the intelligence they had obtained and what he should do next. After reading the letter, Li Mingde was stunned. Although he was not very sensitive to politics, he knew what the current situation was. Because of Zuoqiu Zhi's rebellion, Zuoqiu Wen could not fail to attach importance to military power. Moreover, people like Jia Yu had all opposed Zuoqiu Zheng's attempt to gain military power. He had witnessed this with his own eyes, but he had not expected that Zuoqiu Zheng would actually do it in the end and succeed. However, it was equivalent to failure because Zuoqiu Wen had already known about this. If Zuoqiu Wen knew about this, then Zuoqiu Zheng would have failed. This was actually very unfavorable for Zuoqiu Zheng. If the Council of Elders pushed him from behind, Zuoqiu Zheng would be in real danger.
