"High Priest, I order you to draft an edict immediately and tell the world: The Imperial Preceptor Hua Yuansheng has rebelled against the country and has been executed on the spot. The whole family of the Imperial Preceptor's Office has been executed!"
"As you command, Your Highness!"
The high priest immediately appeared in front of the third prince and accepted the order slightly.
Then he asked: "How to deal with the third prince?"
This question was obviously what the civil and military officials present wanted to ask.
Killing the father and killing the king obviously cannot be as simple as just imprisoning him.
This kind of retrograde behavior is not tolerated by the royal family and the world!
After a slight silence, the third prince said: "It is written in the edict that the second prince considers himself unworthy of the throne and will pass the crown prince's position to the third prince!"
"this……"
As soon as the third prince said these words, there was an uproar around him.
But soon, the crowd fell silent.
Among the people who can stand here, which one is not the best among men?
After thinking about it for a moment, I understood.
The third prince did this not to save the second prince's life. He never announced the second prince's "patricide and king killing". It was entirely for the sake of the royal family's face and the emperor's face.
If the world knew that the emperor died at the hands of his own son, the emperor's great reputation would be ridiculed by the world forever.
It will also completely destroy the royal family’s face and prestige!
This kind of thing must never happen.
"Your Highness is wise." The high priest nodded, and all the civil and military officials also bowed and shouted.
…
At this time, Gu Chen stood calmly in the distance, like an outsider, watching everything calmly.
He was still muttering to himself from time to time, as if he was talking about something.
There was no reply, because only Gu Chen could hear the sound.
"His Royal Highness the Third Prince is thoughtful, possesses both political integrity and talent, and is benevolent to the world. He is indeed a candidate for the emperor."
Gu Chen said slowly: "If Your Majesty could establish a prince earlier, there would be no chaos in the palace today."
"The rise and fall of a country and the change of dynasties often begin with palace chaos."
"Your Majesty is so wise, why did you hesitate in the end?"
After Gu Chen's words, the emperor's soul in the soul flag was silent for a moment.
Then he sighed: "The third prince is indeed the best candidate for the crown prince. If our country is prosperous and the world is at peace, there will be no better candidate than the third prince!"
"However, now that Tianming in the north is becoming more powerful, with strong soldiers and horses, and great ambitions, they often invade our northern border. I have already expected that there will be a battle between Daxia and Tianming!"
"The outcome of this battle is unpredictable. Daxia's chance of winning is only 30%!"
The voice of the Emperor of Great Xia slowly reached Gu Chen's ears from the soul flag: "The three elders and the third can be the kings of defense, but they have no ambition to conquer cities, conquer territories, and expand territories. It is difficult for them to be Tianming's opponent." !”
The voice wasn't very loud, obviously, it was a little weak.
The soul flag was originally a treasure refined by the people of the Soul Sacrifice Hall to sacrifice the soul.
The souls captured in the soul flags will have to endure the pain of soul refining in the soul flags.
It was not until the soul flag's owner, Protector Leng, died and the soul flag fell into Gu Chen's hands that the soul flag's power of sacrifice was stopped.
This saved the emperor's soul from unimaginable suffering.
"Understood."
Gu Chen suddenly realized that the emperor had such thoughts. No wonder he never established a prince.
This is the emperor who wants to establish a mighty king for Great Xiaxia, a master who can compete with Tian Ming!
The eldest prince was originally a choice, but he didn't want to, but he was just an armchair warrior. Not only did he lose his life on the battlefield, he also lost the empire's 400,000 soldiers and horses.
As a result, the northern border lost cities and territory and suffered heavy losses.
The second prince committed another act of patricide and regicide. Even if he had the means and ability, it would be useless.
Now, only the third prince is left.
The emperor couldn't help but sigh: "I just didn't expect that in the end, I would still be the third child. It seems like this is God's will."
In this case, it would be better to appoint Lao San as the crown prince in the first place, and there would be no chaos in the palace today!
If it weren't for Gu Chen and the high priest, I don't know what this world would be like.
"God willing?"
Gu Chen shook his head and wanted to say something, but finally fell silent.
He doesn't believe in God's will, everything depends on man-made things. If God's will really exists in this world, there is no need to practice hard and just wait for God's will to come!
In his view, the so-called providence is nothing more than excuses made by losers for their own failures, and it also denies the efforts of successful people!
That's all!
The third prince has been able to reach this day, not to mention other things, just his vision is definitely not comparable to ordinary people!
Back then, in the Xingyun Palace, we found him and made a deal with him, a young man with nothing, that had almost no hope. Is this something that ordinary people can do?
Absolutely not!
"The Guards Commander Blade obeys the order!"
While Gu Chen was talking to the emperor, the third prince's voice sounded again.
Hearing this voice, the guard commander Dao Feng immediately took a deep breath. Instead of stepping forward, he knelt down on one knee from a distance and said, "Greetings to His Highness!"
The position where he was worshiping was directly in front of the five thousand imperial guards.
From the nervousness and panic in the depths of his eyes, it could be clearly seen that he did not dare to step forward at this time.
Because he had no idea what the third prince would do to him!
Here, these five thousand imperial guards still listen to him.
Even if the third prince wants to kill him, he is fully capable of resisting.
Even if the five thousand guards stopped obeying him in the end, he would at least have a chance to escape.
The third prince was surrounded by the high priest and the old wine man.
He won't put himself in danger!
"Daofeng, for your meritorious service in killing the rebels, I decree that Daofeng be a first-class general and behead Yuanhou!"
Not guilty, promoted and knighted!
The third prince's words instantly caused the civil and military officials to shout in low voices. They all saw with their own eyes that Blade followed Hua Yuansheng when he first started!
Finally, after seeing that his actions were exposed to the public, he turned against him!
I thought it would be a good ending if the merits and demerits were balanced.
Unexpectedly, in the end, he was promoted to a knighthood!
"Thank you, Your Highness, Your Highness is wise!!"
When Dao Feng heard this, he was overjoyed and quickly knelt down and shouted.
He didn't expect that he would be promoted and knighted!
I was also very happy in my heart. Fortunately, I reacted quickly in the end. Otherwise, I would have followed in the footsteps of Hua Yuansheng.
"Third Prince, you have good methods and a good heart!"
After hearing this, Gu Chen couldn't help but give a low praise. Gu Chen said: "Your Majesty, maybe you have misunderstood the third prince. The third prince may not only be able to maintain success, but also know people and make good use of them, seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. Those who can do both are extremely extraordinary!"
The emperor nodded slightly: "It seems that this is indeed the case."
It is definitely the best choice for the third prince to let go of the sword at this time and be promoted to a noble rank.
First, Blade controls the five thousand most elite guards in the palace. Once he is touched, it is likely to cause a lot of trouble.
Secondly, the third prince has just replaced the second prince, and his foundation is unstable. With the support of the five thousand guards of Blade, they can definitely scare the supporters of the second prince and not dare to mess around!
Thirdly, when the second prince is imprisoned, the supporters of the second prince must also be in panic. The third prince can promote someone like Dao Feng to a noble rank at such a time. For the supporters of the second prince, this means A signal!
Also a good name!
The third prince has a good reputation for not caring about past grudges!
It can stabilize people's hearts and make those supporters of the second prince work harder for the third prince!
This is definitely a good card played by the third prince!
