The words in the mouth of the hanging river were indeed beyond Oakes's imagination, and he really didn't expect this to come up before.

After all, the crown prince is the prince of the Stormy Empire, and within the Stormy Empire, he can be the most authoritative person besides the emperor.

According to the rules, the reign of the emperor of the Storm Empire is limited.

On the Elemental Continent, there is almost no one who does not cultivate, not to mention the members of the royal family, who enjoy unique pre-conditions, and in this case, it is a natural phenomenon that their strength can reach a certain level.

But in the midst of this natural phenomenon, it will naturally cause some trouble.

Power, after anyone has enjoyed it, will not want to give it up.

Just imagine, control the greatest power and wealth in the world, you can have whatever you want, in this situation, are you willing to give up? No, no one wants to flood this big good thing.

Naturally, it is impossible for a person who becomes an emperor to give up the rights he has acquired.

And cultivators, the long life span is incalculable, in this case, it is impossible for an emperor to be a lifetime, right?

If you become a Yuan Sheng, this lifespan can reach thousands of years, ten thousand years, or even longer, it is impossible for you, the emperor, to be the emperor for a lifetime, right?

Who can accept that? No one can accept it.

If this were an ordinary person, maybe he wouldn't be entangled in this matter.

However, as a member of the imperial family, especially the emperor's son, he is qualified to inherit the emperor's throne.

In the face of this temptation of power, what kind of flesh and blood affection are floating clouds, yes, they are all floating clouds, who wants their power to be shared by others?

Are you willing?

They have the opportunity and possibility to inherit the throne of the emperor, but because their father's life span is almost infinite, they have no chance at all, or, there is no such possibility.

In the face of this contradiction, the only solution is to kill.

Yes, killing, boundless killing, plotting to usurp the throne, killing father and brother, only in this case can you let yourself reach the pinnacle of this power, and let yourself be able to enjoy this hard-won power in peace.

In this case, it is natural that it will cause an incomparably huge loss to the country, and this kind of loss is almost irreparable.

It is impossible for a country to have this kind of usurpation all the time, so there is a rule that the emperors take turns.

A person has been an emperor for decades, and then whether you want to or not, you have to step down.

As soon as this discussion came out, it naturally received other responses.

As long as you are a member of the royal family, who doesn't want to taste the power?

Naturally, this suggestion was not a difficult matter, and the final result of the discussion came out, that is, every ninety years, the previous emperor must abdicate, and no matter what reason you have, you must abdicate.

In the face of this iron law, all people obey it unconditionally.

If you don't comply, you will attract other Rao hostility, and at that time, it will not be a big deal, and it will inevitably cause all Rao to crusade.

Naturally, after this situation, all emperors served only ninety years, and then unconditionally conceded it.

And the emperor of the Frightening Wind Empire is about to give in when he sees it, and the prince behind him is about to become the first person at the peak of the power of the Frightening Wind Empire, this feeling is naturally indescribable.

In this case, he secretly makes some movements behind his back, and it becomes extremely normal.

Logically, this is understandable, and successive emperors have done this.

It's impossible to let the previous emperor retire before he can do something himself, right?

Then when you know who will divide the power that originally belonged to you?

Power is an addictive thing, and once you enjoy it, you want to get rid of it, but it's not such a good thing.

Once you get something in your hand and want to spit it out, it's not that easy.

Naturally, in such a situation, who wants to teach what they have already learned so easily?

Naturally, the crown prince naturally did not want to see his future rights ruthlessly divided at this time.

What they can do is to start arranging some of their own manpower and eyeliner when the previous emperor is about to abdicate, and start to lay a good foundation for their future accession to the throne.

Of course, this is an ordinary procedural means, but it is a pity that the current Emperor of the Storm Empire is not an ordinary emperor.

This emperor is power-hungry and moody, and can be the most elusive emperor of the Stormy Empire.

According to common sense, once the crown prince is confirmed, it will not be easily changed, of course, there are exceptions, but under normal circumstances, when the emperor reigns for eighty-five years, the prince can be nine out of ten.

If nothing else, the crown prince will be the next emperor.

However, this emperor is not a good stubble, and when he reigned for eighty-five years, he really abolished a prince, that is, the current prince has just been erected.

The move of abolishing the crown prince naturally attracted the attention and dissatisfaction of all parties, but under the iron fist of the emperor, this matter was finally settled.

This incident unmistakably told everyone that this emperor's thirst for power surpassed that of the emperors of the Storm Empire.

Therefore, the current position of the crown prince is not very stable.

However, seeing that the emperor is about to retire, how can the prince sit still?

After the emperor completely abdicated, after he ascended the throne, and then became familiar with it for a while, what else could he really call the shots in the Storm Empire? I'm afraid there isn't any?

It's understandable for people to do some actions now, but this has stimulated the sensitive nerves of the current emperor, and rumors have begun to spread within the Storm Empire that the current emperor is very dissatisfied with the crown prince and wants to abolish him.

Abolishing the crown prince now is definitely a big deal, of course, don't think that this emperor can't do this.

Yes, in the current Stormy Empire, it seems to be calm, but secretly it is turbulent, especially at the juncture when this emperor is about to abdicate and the next emperor is about to take over, anything can be a fuse, causing this unreliable emperor to make some shocking moves.

Obviously, there are already signs of this.

And at this juncture, everything the crown prince did was testing the emperor's patience.

Thinking of this, Oakes's cold sweat began to flow downward.

This emperor is a madman, a lord who is even more crazy than Jingchen, if he knows anything, knows what he will do?

Just to be angry with the Lord of the Yuan God Temple, he could split with the Lord of the Yuan God Temple on top of this Thunder God Temple, and he did not hesitate to spend huge financial and material resources to build a street of green buildings and a casino in the City of Shocking Winds.

In other words, it is impossible for any person to do such an unreliable thing.

The thoughts in Oakes' mind kept spinning, but there was no way to do it, obviously, the Yuan God Temple Lord knew it, let alone the emperor who regarded power as his life?

This emperor not only regards power as his life, but his methods are even more ruthless, and the murder and extermination of the clan are often the case.

Thinking of this, Oakes couldn't help but worry about the future of the current crown prince, although the emperor is not very far from abdicating, hasn't he abdicated yet?

Why did he listen to the prince's bewitchment in the first place, but he wanted to join in, otherwise, what a happy thing it would be to be a real Thunder God Hall master.

Hanging River smiled and said: "Oakes, whether this prince can be saved safely is a big thing, why are you working so hard for him?"

Oakes laughed miserably, didn't he fancy him as the next emperor? Now he takes refuge in the past, it can be a charcoal in the snow, if he is called the emperor after he ascends the throne, it will be the icing on the cake at most, or, by that time, there will be no place for you to add to the brocade.

Everything, has its two sides, the so-called wealth and danger in seeking, many times, you need to fight, when you fight right, then you will get immeasurable benefits, but if you fight wrong, the consequences are unpredictable.

originally thought that if he took refuge in the crown prince, he would be foolproof, but who knows, all this is under the control of the master of the Yuan God Temple.

Looking at the Hanging River, Oakes seemed to see the pity in the eyes of the Hanging River, yes, pity him, pity him.

Indeed, he now has the capital to pity him Oakes.

Oakes couldn't help but laugh miserably, and said, "Since you already know everything, why didn't you do it earlier, but wait until now?"

Hanging River pursed his lips and said, "This, since the emperor wants to play a game with our Yuan God Temple, it is impossible for our hall master to be played by others for nothing, right?"

"Hehe, there is a limit to how they can be emperors, but our hall master doesn't. ”

"Look, isn't the prince now too much waiting? I'm already starting to get restless, I think, whether this prince can continue to sit down is still unknown!"

A light suddenly burst out of Oakes' eyes, and he seemed to understand something in an instant, combined with what Hanging River had said before.

"You're trying to make them kill father and son?" Oakes' eyes were filled with disbelief that was hard to imagine.

Hanging River smiled, nodded, and said, "In the end, it is the master of the Thunder God Temple, who analyzes things so quickly and thoroughly!"

"Hehe, of course, the emperor can separate our Yuan Shen Temple, why can't our Yuan Shen Temple let their father and son kill each other?"

"Hehe, this emperor's enthusiasm for power is beyond Chang Rao's imagination, and this crown prince is not a good stubble, I think, you should be able to foresee what will happen in the future, right?"

"That's right, their father and son are fighting because of power, hehe, now, it has only been two years since the emperor abdicated, if the previous emperor had basically let the crown prince supervise the country, and he retreated into the background, and did not interfere too much. ”

"But now you see, our emperor is still sitting in the court and giving his orders. ”

"Tsk, you should be able to understand, he is unwilling to teach power, but the current prince, you should know that everything he does is for power, this is something that greatly stimulates the current emperor, do you think, with the current emperor's temper, can he have good fruit to eat?"

Although Oakes was shocked on his face, he snorted coldly and said, "So what? Hmph, it's only been two years since the emperor abdicated, do you think the current emperor can still have the ability to abolish the crown prince?"

"I think that when the time comes, I am afraid that no one will agree, and it will be absolutely impossible for anyone to agree. ”

The identity of the prince, after all, is very important, and it cannot be simply abolished, not to mention that it is still the intersection of the old and the new, if there is a prince again, then the things that follow will be difficult to do.

Hanging River smiled, shook his shoulders, and said: "What's impossible? Don't agree? Then replace it with someone who agrees, anyway, there are so many sons of the current emperor, are you still afraid that he won't find the crown prince?"

"It's too easy to find an obedient puppet prince, who calls the current prince so strong. ”

Oakes' face showed shock again, he heard another meaning from Hanging River's words, the biggest reaction in the court and the most fierce is probably not the crown prince, after all, the emperor now has a very strict control over power, and the current prince does not have much chance to come into contact with these powers.

That is to say, the current crown prince does not have much power, otherwise, it would not be that this prince would do something unforgiving in secret, which would cause the anger of the emperor.

The real players who can play a role are the ministers who control the power in the DPRK and China, and they are the real core forces.

After all, it is the crown prince, and it is obviously impossible for the current ministers of the court to hide everything from the prince.

The current emperor's strength makes the crown prince not have much power, but these courtiers who are bent on the stormy empire, but they are prepared for danger in times of peace, and they have long seen that the emperor does not want to abdicate, and there will inevitably be some twists and turns in the future.

Therefore, in many things, these courtiers are giving the prince the opportunity to interfere openly and secretly, and it is natural that this will naturally cause the emperor's dissatisfaction.

If you want to abolish the crown prince, then the first target is those ministers in the court, especially those ministers who hold great power and are in high positions, because they are the pillars of the stormy empire.

And these pillars have become a thorn in the side of the current emperor, if it weren't for them, how could the current crown prince have the opportunity to use those means?

Obviously, in this situation, the emperor wanted to clean them up.

Oakes thought that the methods of this Yuan God Temple Lord were so ruthless, in this way, Oakes seemed to be able to think that in the near future, there would definitely be a bloody storm in the City of Storm.

The Emperor of the Storm will let the Lord of the Yuan God Temple lose a Thunder God Temple at most, and the Thunder God Temple will be lost, and it can be rebuilt.

However, this Yuan Shen Temple Lord will make the Storm Empire lose a large number of humerus ministers, and the people who can give convenience to the crown prince in the court can do it if their power status is low? Obviously, it is impossible to do it.

Oakes felt terrible when he thought about it, not only the Yuan God Temple Lord was terrifying, but the Emperor of the Storm was even more terrifying.

"You, you ......" Oakes looked at the hanging river, half speechless, he really couldn't do anything about this matter.

After all, he is now the hall master of the Thunder God Temple, although he has secretly taken refuge in the prince, but it is clear that he still can't get too close to the prince.

Hanging River smiled and said, "Actually, oops, what's the matter? It's not too late for you to know now, well, or, you can't change anything at all." ”

"I'll give you two choices, one, take refuge in me, and two, continue to be the prince's lackey, and let me clean you up now. ”

Oakes's face tugged involuntarily, and he was subdued by the Hanging River? That's just a joke, a big insult.

The person who continues to be the prince, obviously, the Hanging River will talk to this element, and the consequences will naturally not be much, it must be one word, kill.

Now that Hanging River has the initiative, killing is just a matter of his thoughts.

"Aren't you afraid that the emperor or the crown prince will clean you up in the future?" Unwilling, Oakes's psychology is very unwilling, seeing victory in sight, but he didn't expect that such a thing would occur, who can bear it in front of him.

Hanging River pouted and said, "This, it doesn't matter, who have we been afraid of?"

"The Frightening Wind Empire and the Lingyan Empire are the two most powerful empires on the Elemental Continent, this is true, but you should also know that they are powerful and powerful, but after all, they are not a sect, but a country. ”

"They can't compare with us at all, there is no room for us here, we can go, but can they go? ”

"Well, if they come to attack us, we'll retreat, and then we'll clean them up. ”

"Besides, look at our hall master, this is just a slight trick, just when their Storm Empire has buried such a big hidden danger, hehe, now is the most sensitive time for their Storm Empire, if we don't provoke them, it's already a blessing, do they dare to provoke us?"

"Even if the current crown prince can succeed him in the future, plus he wants to control his own power, it will take several years, and when the time comes, it will be good that we don't go to trouble him. ”

"Here, this crown prince, being replaced is already an ironclad thing, and I'm not afraid to tell you the truth, according to the information from our eyeliner, in the near future, the emperor is going to do it, and when the time comes, you can be optimistic." ”

Looking at Oakes, a strange smile appeared on the corner of Hanging River's mouth, and said, "I think you won't be able to see in the future." ”
