"Please, Father, make His Royal Highness Prince Chen the Crown Prince!"
In the majestic Yuhua Heavenly Palace, the three princes could not stop talking and dying.
He actually wanted to give up the position of crown prince that he had fought for for thousands of years to His Highness Prince Chen. Everyone present was dumbfounded. They didn't understand why the third prince gave up when he was only one step away from the throne?
The position of emperor of Chu State is different from that of any other dynasty.
In other sects and families, if the disciples want to gain supreme power or call themselves ancestors, it cannot be achieved by just putting in hard work. It requires more opportunities, good luck, and talent in martial arts.
.
For example, Tianshui Sect.
If ordinary disciples of the Tianshui Sect want to become the sect leader and ancestor, they must climb up step by step, from ordinary disciples to inner disciples, from inner disciples to Sanjue disciples, from Sanjue disciples to Holy Sons...
It is possible that only by entering the power center of Tianshui Sect can one be qualified to call the sect the ancestor.
However, the sect and family members have many disciples, the geniuses gather together, and tens of thousands of people compete for one, so the journey is extremely difficult.
Unparalleled talent in martial arts and unparalleled cultivation power are the necessary conditions for claiming the title of ancestor.
But in the Chu Dynasty, it was completely different.
The Chu Dynasty did not respect "martial arts", but "imperial power is supreme".
The position of the emperor of the Chu State was determined not only by his cultivation strength nor his martial arts talent, but by the laws of the Chu State.
In other words... anyone who is a direct descendant of the Chu royal family is qualified to become an emperor, it's just a matter of who is more capable.
And the position of emperor of the Chu Kingdom is one of the most supreme thrones in the world of demons.
Whoever becomes the emperor of Chu will become the most powerful overlord in the world of demons.
Fame, beauty, status, everything you want.
But with such a throne, the third prince was only one step away, but he suddenly gave up at this moment.
This surprised everyone present.
After hearing this, Emperor Chu's expression did not change at all. His face was as calm as ever, and his eyes were as calm as water.
This gave Lin Bai an illusion. Could it be that this was arranged by Emperor Chu?
Although His Highness King Chen was a little touched, he understood in his heart that his royal brother had always been ruthless, cunning and cunning. He must have thought of this way to escape death because he knew that there was no way to save him.
After the third prince knelt on the ground and said this, he secretly sent a message to His Highness King Chen, "Brother, the matter has come to an end. I surrender to you. I will give you the position of crown prince. I will never fight for you!!"
"As for the matters involving the eldest prince, the second prince, the twelfth prince and others, I will go to the ancestral temple to admit my punishment after this incident!"
"I did all this for my brother not because I think I am inferior to you, but because of the situation. If you tell the matter in public and make the family scandal public, it will not only disgrace my father, but also the royal family of Chu State.
I can’t hold my head high in front of the warriors in the world!”
“That’s it!”
"If the emperor's brother still insists on going his own way, I will never persuade him again!"
His Highness King Chen understood the meaning of the third prince's words, which was that he wanted to protect the face of the royal family with his own body.
His Highness King Chen took a deep breath, his eyes were shining, and he said through the message: "How can I believe that what the emperor said is true? What if the emperor just wants to use these words to trick me into getting through today?"
The third prince said: "Xia Jingzhi is already in your hands. Even if I use my tricks to get past today, the emperor's brother can still hold Xia Jingzhi and complain to his father. The day the truth is revealed, I will lose my position as heir apparent!"
"This move is nothing more than me trying to save my life!"
"If the emperor's brother gives evidence and accuses me in public, my father will be forced by the situation and will only severely punish me. Maybe he will order me to be beheaded in public."
"After today, if the emperor's brother gives evidence in front of the ancestors of the ancestral temple, my father will still punish me and deprive me of my qualifications to compete for the crown prince, but he will definitely not take my life!"
"What I did today is that I have given up my position as Crown Prince. I just want to save my life and the last dignity of the royal family!"
He spoke with certainty and sincerity, and informed His Highness King Chen of the pros and cons.
His Royal Highness King Chen is not a foolish person. He also understands the stakes and has made a decision in his heart.
But he just couldn't swallow this breath.
He looked fiercely and asked angrily: "Did you give the eldest brother, the second brother, and the twelfth brother a chance back then?"
"Hey!" A sigh came from the third prince's voice transmission, "Brother, since you have come to this road, why are you still talking like a child? If they are willing to give up the position of crown prince, how can I do it?
Dead hand?"
"Struggle for power has been a tradition in dynasties since ancient times!"
"How do you think our father sat on the throne? Do you think he doesn't know what we are doing?"
"He knows everything, he knows everything, but he just doesn't stop it, because he knows...this is the only way for the prince to pass!"
The third prince looked sideways slightly, glanced at His Highness Prince Chen with a sneer, and continued: "If you can't handle this matter well, how can you handle the entire Chu Kingdom and the world of demons well!"
His Highness King Chen lowered his head and remained silent.
The third prince continued to transmit the message: "To be honest, I still don't accept you!"
"Prince Chen, Chu Junyou, you are no match for me!"
The third prince looked sideways at His Highness Prince Chen, with resentment still on his face, "In terms of martial arts cultivation, you are far inferior to me; in terms of prestige in the court, now everyone in the court and outside the court submits to me; in terms of talents and strategies, you are not my opponent.
!”
"It's just that you were lucky enough to meet Wang Zuozhi!"
"I didn't lose to you, I lost to Lin Bai!"
The third prince was still unconvinced and said to His Highness King Chen: "There are so many powerful officials in the court, do you know how to solve it? I know!"
"The princes of the royal family are proud of themselves. Do you know how to appease them? I know."
"The Northern Territory is about to invade the territory with troops. Do you know how to defend against the enemy? I know!"
"You are just lucky. Lin Bai caught my life and took advantage of the general trend of the world to force me to submit!"
"Prince Chen, if you are willing to put aside the life and death of the eldest prince, the second prince and others, and we have a fair contest in the court, you will definitely not be my opponent!"
His Highness Prince Chen laughed miserably twice and nodded his head silently, knowing in his heart that what the third prince said was the truth.
"So, after you become the crown prince, you still have a lot to learn!"
The third prince took a deep breath, and then slowly exhaled it. There seemed to be a sense of relief in his expression, and his eyes gradually became clear and calm.
It was as if a person was walking forward with a huge mountain on his shoulders. At this moment, he finally reached the end of the road with difficulty, put down the heavy mountain on his shoulders, and was freed.
"Prince Chen, how about we stop here?"
"I am outnumbered. Don't bring out the evidence and make the royal family lose face."
"As for my fault, after today, you and I can go to the ancestral temple and have a detailed discussion with our ancestors. I won't say much about how to punish you!"
The third prince finally chose to let go of what he was thinking, and only asked His Highness Prince Chen not to bring out the evidence, so as not to disgrace the royal family, but also to save his life.
"good!"
His Highness King Chen made a decision and agreed.
now.
Emperor Chu frowned and asked, "Tianxin, what did you say?"
The three emperors raised their heads again, cupped their hands and held the salute, with a sincere attitude: "Father, please appoint His Royal Highness King Chen as the crown prince, to prove the line of succession, and to bless our country of Chu, the country, the country, and the country to last forever!"
