Chapter 1379 A decision that shocked everyone
"I will consider including the eldest prince in the prince's inspection. The inspection period is three months. Within three months, if the eldest prince's performance meets my expectations, he will become the official prince of Yaohai Kingdom."
This news shocked everyone in the court!
Why, not the fourth prince, but the eldest prince?
As we all know, the eldest prince has a meek personality and has always been considered by the courtiers and family not to be the best candidate for the crown prince. However, the fourth prince is talented and strategic and is worthy of the crown prince's position.
All along, everyone thought that if there was a ranking in the monarch's heart, the fourth prince would definitely take precedence over the eldest prince.
But now, the reality is exactly the opposite!
The monarch of Yaohai Kingdom actually made a decision to give priority to the eldest prince as the heir apparent! ??
In fact, everyone knows that this three-month inspection period is just a formality. As long as the eldest prince does not make any fatal mistakes during these three months, then the position of crown prince will definitely belong to the eldest prince.
In other words, the eldest prince has actually locked in the position of crown prince in advance.
The monarch of Yaohai Kingdom did not explain to everyone why he made this decision.
Because, as the emperor, he did not need to explain his decision to anyone except Emperor Chu and King Zhennan.
The Fourth Prince was also present, but judging from the expression on his face, it was obvious that the Fourth Prince had not been informed of the news in advance. Although he tried his best to control his expression, it was not difficult to see shock, anger and disbelief.
From this day on, many things have undergone subtle changes.
Many famous nobles who were originally close to the Fourth Prince chose to alienate their relationship with the Fourth Prince. Some, although not so obvious, had a very negative attitude when they came into contact with the Fourth Prince.
In the court, the fourth prince is no longer the object of everyone's support every time. On the contrary, the eldest prince is the focus of everyone's heated discussions every time.
This is absolutely an unacceptable change for the fourth prince.
However, the fourth prince had no choice but to watch as the number of supporters of the eldest prince increased day by day.
Everyone couldn't figure out how the eldest prince made the monarch make up his mind to make him the crown prince? What on earth did he rely on to impress the monarch of Yaohai Kingdom?
Is it his talent for governing the country?
Or is it his martial arts potential?
But in fact, Su Chen knew that everyone thought too complicatedly.
For the monarch of the Yaohai Kingdom, the superior's thinking when looking at problems is actually very simple, that is, what can be done to bring the greatest benefit to oneself.
The eldest prince has undoubtedly brought the greatest benefit to the monarch of Yaohai Kingdom, which is the indestructible red stone weapon! Red stone weapon that can be equipped in batches for the army!
If all the armies of the Yaohai Kingdom can be equipped with such weapons, the national strength of the Yaohai Kingdom will be completely transformed.
In this case, there is actually not much difference for the monarch of Yaohai Kingdom whether the eldest prince will be the crown prince or the fourth prince will be the crown prince.
Because both princes are fully qualified to be crown princes. In this case, the strength of the army is the foundation for the survival of the Yaohai Kingdom.
This was exactly what Su Chen had expected before. He had long expected that as long as the eldest prince presented a red stone magic weapon to the monarch of the Yaohai Kingdom, the monarch would definitely choose him as the heir apparent.
to
On the side of Emperor Chu's master?
Su Chen believed that the monarch should have consulted Emperor Chu before making the final decision on the eldest prince.
Because Su Chen knew that with the character of Emperor Chu's master, the fourth prince's ambitious and overly purposeful style did not please him.
This can be seen from the fact that at Emperor Chu's birthday party, the fourth prince was ranked third among the birthday gifts he personally ordered.
During this time, everyone in the eldest prince's camp was beaming with joy. Recently, the eldest prince was very proud of himself.
However, after being reminded by Su Chen, the eldest prince did not lose his composure because of this. He only sent people to speed up the creation of the first batch of 20,000 pieces of the Red Stone Divine Weapon.
Of course, the refining of the Crimson Stone Divine Weapon and the eldest prince's workshop have always been kept secret. Except for Su Chen, the eldest prince and a few of the eldest prince's confidants, no one else knew about it.
Due to intensive work, the first batch of 20,000 red stone weapons was released half a month ahead of schedule.
However, what made Su Chen a little concerned was that during this period, the fourth prince was very calm.
Even the calmness on the Fourth Prince's side had reached an abnormal level, as if the Fourth Prince had completely accepted his fate and did not offer any resistance.
This kind of calmness made Su Chen feel a little abnormal. He did not believe that the fourth prince, who had always been ambitious, would be willing to accept the fact of losing his position as crown prince.
Therefore, the less the fourth prince did, the more suspicious Su Chen felt.
"My dear brother, you are worrying too much."
The eldest prince smiled and said, "The fourth brother doesn't dare to do anything because he is still a wealthy prince. But if he makes any extraordinary move, not only will the prince not be able to do it, but he may even lose his life. He shouldn't
Take the risk."
"I hope so."
Su Chen nodded, "How are red stone weapons used in the army?"
"very good!"
At the mention of this, the eldest prince immediately became energetic, "The first batch of 20,000 red stone magic weapons have been used by my personal troops. They are now being drilled. Everything is going well."
"My father has also given us a lot of funds and manpower. We plan to use Chi Minshi's magic weapons and armor as the secret weapons of the Yaohai army. When foreign enemies invade one day and discover our indestructible equipment, they will be shocked.
"
The eldest prince said, his eyes shining with excitement and confidence.
"good."
Su Chen nodded, "Continue to expand the scale of the workshop and produce defensive armor made of red stone."
"Okay, in addition, I would also like to invite Uncle Wang of Zhennan to visit my personal barracks. He has experienced hundreds of battles and should be able to put forward more suggestions on the application of our red stone equipment in the army. Xian
Brother, what do you think?"
The eldest prince asked Su Chen for his opinion.
"Your Majesty, you can take care of these matters yourself."
Su Chen also smiled lightly and said, King Zhennan is the most trusted person by the monarch of Yaohai Kingdom, and he is also a veteran of the dynasty. It is reasonable to consult his opinions.
The situation looks great.
However, Su Chen still retained a trace of vigilance in his heart.
Before the eldest prince officially passes the inspection and becomes the prince, everything may still be variable. "I am considering including the eldest prince in the inspection of the prince. The inspection period is three months. Within three months, if the eldest prince's
If your performance meets my expectations, you will become the official crown prince of Yaohai Kingdom."
This news shocked everyone in the court!
