Lin Bai, who was sitting on the seat of the Tianshui Sect, was full of doubts and puzzlements like many ancestors and elders in the Ascension Palace.
In the Chu Kingdom, the two princes who were fighting fiercely suddenly announced their withdrawal today, handing over the throne to others.
They didn't know the reason, but Lin Bai knew it clearly.
But there was still a question in Lin Bai's mind...that is, was it arranged by Emperor Chu behind the scenes for the third prince to withdraw from the throne in public and support His Highness King Chen to ascend to the throne?
Could it be that the Emperor of Chu saw that the third prince was dead and knew that His Highness King Chen would give evidence in public today. In order to save the face of the Chu royal family, he specifically ordered the third prince to withdraw from the throne in public and support His Highness King Chen to ascend to the throne?
"Haha, if all this is really arranged by Emperor Chu, then this Emperor Chu..." Lin Bai murmured.
It’s so awesome!
At least His Highness King Chen and the Third Prince are working together. I am afraid they are no match for the Emperor of Chu!
"Holy Son, what are you talking about?" Sect leader Chu Xi seemed to hear Lin Bai's murmur, but did not hear clearly, so he asked.
"Nothing." Lin Bai smiled and shook his head.
Regardless of whether the third prince's withdrawal in public to seize the heir was secretly instructed by Emperor Chu, or he was willing to admit defeat, none of this is important. What is important is...His Royal Highness King Chen will definitely take the position of crown prince today!
He might even become the emperor of Chu.
This is what Lin Bai wanted.
After His Highness King Chen becomes the emperor, he will open the way for Lin Bai to the Seven Realms of Heaven.
At least that was the deal he had negotiated with His Highness Prince Chen.
Lin Bai just wanted to make His Highness King Chen an emperor and send him to the Seven Realms of Heaven. As for the process of becoming an emperor, Lin Bai didn't want to care about it, and he didn't want to care.
As for whether the injustices of the eldest prince, second prince, twelfth prince and others can be redressed, this has nothing to do with Lin Bai.
After all, this is a family matter of the Chu royal family, and Lin Bai has nothing to do with it.
"If it were so simple, that would be best."
Lin Bai went over the matter carefully in his mind.
If His Highness Prince Chen were to give evidence in public, although it would be able to overturn the situation and force the Emperor of Chu to investigate the death of the eldest prince, the second prince and others, Lin Bai had no idea what the consequences would be.
Will Emperor Chu use his means to turn this matter into a trivial one?
After all, this Emperor Chu is not that easy to fool.
Again, this Emperor of Chu was a qualified emperor in other aspects, except for being relatively dull in handling household affairs.
He wouldn't have known how much impact His Highness Prince Chen would have on the Chu royal family by giving evidence in public.
Whether he would hate Lin Bai and the Tianshui Sect for this reason, and after dealing with the third prince, he would easily deal with Lin Bai and the Tianshui Sect, Lin Bai couldn't say for sure.
Therefore...if the third prince is sincere in quitting the fight for heir apparent, he will give up his position as Crown Prince to His Highness Prince Chen.
This is the best ending!
…
In the Yuhua Heavenly Palace, the immortal energy is steaming mist, and the rays of light are dancing.
The entire hall was as silent as a cicada, and all the powerful people sitting there were waiting for Emperor Chu's reply.
"Tianxin, what are you going to say?"
Emperor Chu narrowed his eyes, as if he couldn't believe his ears, and asked several times.
"Father, I am not crazy!" The third prince became more determined, with a serious expression, as if he had made a decision after careful consideration: "Since the emperor's younger brother returned to the imperial capital, he has made many achievements and has been well received both inside and outside the court.
.”
"My son knows that he is far different from the emperor's younger brother, so he is willing to proclaim himself a minister and loyally follow His Highness King Chen."
"The current situation is turbulent and the world is about to be in chaos. I also ask my father to appoint King Chen as the crown prince as soon as possible to calm the world."
The third prince's attitude was sincere, and Emperor Chu felt helpless after hearing this.
It is true that he has not yet decided which one of His Royal Highness King Chen or the third prince should be appointed as the crown prince.
In his opinion, His Royal Highness Prince Chen can do it, and so can the Third Prince.
Undecided.
at this time.
The ancestor of the Wansheng Mountain Territory had a flash of light in his eyes, stood up suddenly, cupped his hands and saluted, and said: "Your Majesty, Emperor Chu, the crown prince of the Chu Kingdom is like the holy son of the sect. If he does not stand for a day, the sect will be uneasy."
"The current King Chen and the third prince are undoubtedly heroes in the world, hehe..." The ancestor laughed twice, "In my opinion, these two princes have the appearance of ninety-five. Anyone can be appointed. Please do it early."
Decide!”
After the ancestor of the Wansheng Mountain Territory finished speaking, the ancestor of the Qitian Sect immediately stood up and echoed: "Your Majesty, Emperor Chu, the position of the crown prince is the foundation of the Chu Kingdom. According to the past practice of the Chu Kingdom, every Chu Emperor will be appointed early before his 10,000th birthday.
The crown prince has already been established."
"I wonder why His Majesty the Emperor of Chu is so procrastinating this year?"
"Your Majesty, please appoint a heir apparent as soon as possible!"
The elders of the Qitian Sect and the ancestors of the Wansheng Mountain Territory both advised them earnestly. They also knew that the Eastern Territory of the Demon Realm would soon be in chaos. Now that the Chu State has appointed a crown prince, they can sort out their internal affairs and concentrate on fending off the enemy.
If during the invasion of the Northern Territory, there are still young people in the Chu State taking the opportunity to cause chaos, then the Chu State will have to deal with foreign enemies as well as internal worries. Even if the Chu Emperor has great talents and strategies, he may not be able to save himself.
Therefore, these two major territories now asked the Emperor of Chu to establish a prince, for the sake of the country's country and the country.
The ancestor of the Seven Nights Divine Sect also wanted to say a few words, but thinking that the affairs in his own territory were a mess, how could he be qualified to speak about the Chu Dynasty? He could only sigh a few times, shake his head repeatedly, and sit on the seat to drink.
There were voices of admonishment all around, and Emperor Chu sat on the dragon chair, frowning and saying nothing.
He looked at the two princes kneeling in the hall, his eyes flickering back and forth between them, and finally made up his mind.
"good!"
Emperor Chu stood up suddenly, with a slight smile on his resolute and serious face, and said slowly: "Since the third prince fully supports King Chen's decision to become the crown prince, and His Highness King Chen is indeed gentle and virtuous..."
"It is my emperor's decree to establish the emperor's seventh son, King Chen, and Junyou of Chu, as the crown prince of Chu!"
As soon as the voice fell, the third prince lowered his head and closed his eyes in pain.
"Thank you very much, Father! I will definitely live up to my father's expectations!"
His Royal Highness King Chen thanked him.
"Congratulations to the Chu State on their crown prince, this will be good news to hundreds of millions of people in the Chu State!" The ancestors of the Wansheng Mountain Territory smiled and congratulated in unison, and then asked: "Then I wonder if His Majesty the Emperor of Chu will abdicate today?"
"According to the tradition of Chu State in the past, after the birthday of the Chu Emperor, if there was a heir, the Chu Emperor would abdicate in favor of a successor."
"Today the Crown Prince has been established, will Your Majesty give way to Prince Chen?"
This is what everyone in the Ascension Palace is most concerned about right now.
Should the Emperor of Chu abdicate in favor of someone worthy of his throne?
Emperor Chu smiled and did not answer. Instead, he asked: "Everyone... do you know why I, the Emperor of Chu, chose to abdicate and let the crown prince succeed me after ten thousand years of birthday?"
Many ancestors in the Ascension Palace knew the reason, but they remained silent at this moment.
Emperor Chu then explained: "In martial arts practice, even if you participate in nature and achieve Taoism, your lifespan will only be five thousand years. Those with a deep foundation can live for more than ten thousand years, but this is the ultimate!"
"After ten thousand years, we can rely on the treasures of heaven, materials and earth as well as the treasures to increase longevity for thousands more years, but 'fifteen thousand years' is already the ultimate limit of heaven and earth. From now on, no matter how many treasures of heaven, materials and earth we have, it will not help!
"
"The emperors of the Chu Kingdom all chose to abdicate after their 10,000th birthday, because they wanted to spend the remaining time in seclusion to break through to higher martial arts cultivation levels and gain more longevity!"
"This is the origin of the ten thousand-year tradition of the emperor of Chu State abdicating the throne!"
"but……"
Emperor Chu's eyes opened and closed, revealing his brilliant brilliance.
