Chapter 3031 Really Is a Strong Enemy
"That's right!"
The third prince nodded, and introduced with a solemn expression: "The old emperor of the Great Yan Empire died ten years ago, and the exact cause of death is unknown.
There are eight princes and twelve princesses under his knees.
Originally, the old emperor was in his prime in spring and autumn, and had reached the peak of the god-king realm for many years, and was always looking for opportunities to break through the god-king realm.
But he didn't set up a crown prince, and suddenly died outside the empire, and he hasn't even seen his body yet.
This caused the Great Yan Empire to fall into chaos for half a year after his collapse.
During this period, several princes fought for power and profit, and all wanted to inherit the throne.
Among them, there are two most powerful princes, the eldest prince and the fourth prince.
The eldest prince is the eldest son, and his mother is also the empress of the main palace, so it is only logical that he should succeed to the throne.
Moreover, the children of the royal family and the elders of the court all supported him.
But the four princes fought hard on the grounds, saying that the old emperor's death was related to the eldest prince, and that the elder prince had ulterior motives.
He vowed to seize the throne, find out the reason for the old emperor's death, and give an explanation to the people of the world.
The fourth prince is very powerful, and has attracted other princes, princesses and officials, and has a high voice among the people.
Moreover, he has recruited top forces from all sides, and his power is overwhelming. "
When he heard this, Ji Tianxing frowned and asked: "The fourth prince failed to win the heir? Is he Prince Lian?"
"No!" The third prince shook his head hastily, and explained: "The fourth prince did fail to seize the heir, but he was beheaded outside the palace by the eldest prince with the Heaven-shaking Divine Sword.
During the period when the two princes seized the throne, too many things happened, too many forces were involved, and the process was extremely tortuous and complicated, which cannot be explained clearly in a few words.
But the final result was that the eldest prince won, inherited the throne in a legitimate way, and became the new emperor.
The fourth prince was killed, and the three princes and five princesses who supported him, as well as a large number of courtiers were arrested.
Those people were either severely punished, imprisoned in the imperial city, or exiled to various kingdoms of God. "
Ji Tianxing nodded to express his understanding, and asked, "So Prince Lian is one of the three princes who support the fourth prince?"
"No." The third prince shook his head again.
"You!!" Ji Tianxing frowned fiercely, and said rather displeasedly: "Can you stop being tricky and finish talking at once?"
"Uh..." The third prince was a little embarrassed, and explained bluntly: "Prince Lian is the eighth prince, and he did not participate in the matter of seizing the heir.
Before that incident, he had always been obsessed with cultivating the divine way, determined to break through the realm of the divine king.
He is not interested in strategy, power, or the throne, but only indulging in cultivation, pursuing the pinnacle of immortality.
Among the eight princes, he was the one with the highest talent and the most loved by the old emperor.
Many people even speculated that if he helped the fourth prince fight for the throne, he would be very likely to succeed. "
Ji Tianxing was even more puzzled, and asked: "Since Prince Lian is a martial idiot and didn't participate in the battle for the heir apparent, why was he exiled to the Bloody Flame Kingdom?"
The third prince was silent for a while, then he replied via voice transmission: "Because he and the fourth prince are from the same mother!
Even though he didn't participate in the seizure of the heir apparent, the fourth prince and their mother and concubine almost killed the eldest prince and took away the throne.
After the eldest prince seized the throne, he killed the fourth prince and their mother and concubine, and ransacked the entire house of the fourth prince, killing more than 3,000 people! "
"So it is!" Ji Tianxing suddenly realized, no wonder even the prince was punished for not doing anything.
The third prince continued: "After the eldest prince ascended the throne, Prince Lian was very indifferent, as if he didn't take the death of his brother and mother very seriously.
Moreover, he was obsessed with cultivation as always, without showing any objection.
Because of this incident, countless people in the imperial capital talked behind their backs, saying that even the prince is a cold-blooded animal without emotion, and they really feel sad for the fourth prince and their mother and concubine.
But even the prince was unmoved, as always. "
Ji Tianxing continued: "But the more he is like this, the more fearful the First Prince will be.
The eldest prince would also be worried that if one day even the prince broke through to the god-king realm, his death would be approaching. "
"That's right!" The third prince nodded in agreement, and said via voice transmission: "So after the eldest prince ascended the throne, he punished those traitors and Prince Lian by the way.
He bestowed the title of Prince Lian on the eighth prince, rewarded tens of billions of resources as a token of comfort, and sent him to the Kingdom of Blood Flame to serve as the supervising envoy.
The original eighth prince's mansion was retained, but all the servants, guards and retainers were dismissed.
When Prince Lian came to the Blood Flame God Kingdom to take up his post, he brought only two servants, one old and one young, with him. It was miserable! "
Ji Tianxing said calmly: "The eldest prince did this to keep Prince Lian away from the Great Yan Empire and the center of power, so that he would never have the chance to stir up trouble again.
What's more, get rid of the power team under his command and let him go to the blood flame kingdom to be an idle prince.
In this way, Prince Lian is no longer a threat to his throne.
However, Prince Lian was obviously not the kind of person who would do nothing.
Based on my guess, Prince Lian has been recruiting troops and planning secretly since he came to the Blood Flame Divine Kingdom.
He probably still wants to return to the Great Yan Empire to avenge his mother and brother, right? "
The third prince frowned and thought for a while, then nodded and said, "Perhaps it is possible! But this kind of thing, it's fine for everyone to keep it secret, who dares to discuss it openly?
After Prince Lian came to the Blood Flame Divine Kingdom, in just three years, he built the Prince's Mansion as solid as gold.
Not only recruited thousands of guards, but also three hundred diners and capable people.
Moreover, the former four princes' old departments, including those top martial arts forces, have quietly joined him.
Now, he has formed an alliance with the fifth prince, and he probably has some plots.
I don't know what method he used to let his father make the fifth son the prince.
This matter definitely has something to do with Prince Lian! "
Ji Tianxing nodded, and asked: "You just said that the old department of the fourth prince and those martial arts forces have all joined Prince Lian's sect?
Do those powerful martial arts forces include Hetianzong? "
The third prince nodded and said: "Yes! Hetian Sect is one of the top ten sects of the Great Yan Empire, and its power background has always been ranked among the top three.
It's just that, after the battle to seize the heirloom ten years ago, He Tianzong made a great sacrifice in order to help the fourth prince.
Now the power of Hetianzong is much weaker, far worse than before.
However, the sect forces that took refuge in Prince Lian were far more than Hetianzong.
According to our observations over the past ten years, there is probably one top sect and several second-rate sects...
All in all, Prince Lian didn't show anyone on the surface, and didn't want to attract the attention of Emperor Dayan.
However, he secretly accumulated power, and he had already developed to an astonishing extent.
It should be part of his plan to intervene in his father's selection of the prince now. "
Ji Tianxing nodded slightly, and murmured to himself: "The strength of the emperor Jiuzhong, the prince with the most talent and potential...
Moreover, he has gathered a large number of strong men and recruited two top sects... he really is a strong opponent! "
