Hearing Qian Yeming's roar, the Great Priest of Light stopped laughing in contempt and looked at him and said:
"Your Highness Prince Li, you may not be overestimating yourself. Let's be frank. Since you know that we once agreed to Xia Muwan and Murong Qingyu's abdication, you should know that the Divine Cult has always supported the Murong family. Although Murong Qingyu has been arrested, Murong Qingyun is still alive, and it is rumored that they also have a private army. Your Highness Prince Li, do you have a private army?"
Alas... my Divine Religion was just looking for a place to spread the gospel, but who knew you princes and dignitaries would drag us into the dispute? This was not our original intention."
Knowing that these old guys looked down on him, Qian Yeli smiled slightly: "Yes, Murong Qingyun has a private army, but so what? What is Murong Qingyun's last name? His last name is Murong! As long as the princes of the Qianye family are not dead, he will never be able to control Nanyue.
Now that Qian Yeyao, Qian Yeming, Qian Yechen, and Qian Yeze are all here, Great Priest of Light, are you really planning to help Murong Qingyun kill all five of our princes and then make Murong Qingyun the king?
Even if you don't feel tired, I will feel tired for you! Moreover, how can Murong Qingyu be compared to Murong Qingyun? Murong Qingyu has been strategizing in the court for more than 20 years. He is experienced and cunning, and he is a leader in his own power.
Although Murong Qingyun was his son, his methods, intelligence, and ability to control people were no match for his father. Perhaps in Murong Qingyu's hands, his private army numbering in the hundreds of thousands would become a sharp sword piercing the heart of South Vietnam, but if this sword fell into Murong Qingyun's hands, it would surely take a different path.
It's not that I look down on him, but Murong Qingyun is inferior to the current emperor in every aspect."
The High Priest of Light chuckled, "It seems that His Royal Highness Prince Li's analysis of South Vietnam is very thorough. If so, I would like to hear your analysis of yourself. Cooperation must have something that people can see clearly, otherwise, how can there be any cooperation at all?"
"Haha, Qian Yeyao has now been demoted to Lizhou, and nominally has lost the qualification to compete for the throne.
Qian Yechen, my elder brother, was once powerful and wealthy, but now Murong Qingyu has left him with nothing. Without money, power, or even the royal palace, how can he fight for the throne?
Qian Ye Ze is a lackey who likes to please everyone. I have accepted the olive branch he threw to me, and I guess the others have too.
Although I consider myself a leisurely prince, I also believe in the saying: Don't have the intention to harm others, but always be on guard against them. Therefore, I have been cultivating my own power since I was a child.
"The Great Priest of Light may not know this, but I am the largest smuggler of salt, rice, and oil in Nanyue. These goods of mine are usually shipped to Xiliang and Northern Wei. Even my eldest brother doesn't know that I am much richer than him!"
Qian Yeli’s words really surprised the High Priest of Light.
"You actually possess such power in secret?"
You know, salt, rice and oil are the basis of people's livelihood, especially in the Northern Wei Dynasty. Due to the long-term natural disasters, there was not enough food in the country. Other countries were unwilling to sell to them due to the majesty of the religion, so they could only buy smuggled high-priced items.
