On this continent where humans grow. There have been countless nations, from division to unity, from rise to decline, and so on. The empire of the past has long since disappeared into the long river of history, and now, as the oldest, most populous and most vast country, the human kingdom has existed for nearly 3,000 years. The current emperor named his dynasty after his surname, which is currently the most powerful country in the human continent - the Jiangliu Dynasty.

Emperor Jiang Liu inherited the throne at the age of eighteen and has reigned for more than fifty years. In the early days of his ascension to the throne, he had great ambitions, did not watch songs and dances, did not favor concubines, worked hard to govern the country, and devoted himself to the development of the country, wanting to restore the kingdom to the heyday of unifying the human continent. However, with the passage of time, the current Emperor Jiangliu has long been smoothed out by the years, and has become more and more lazy and mediocre. So much so that in the past twenty or thirty years, he has rarely cared about state affairs, and has left everything to the eunuchs. The once peaceful and prosperous era gradually entered a depression, and the people who originally supported him began to complain.

Emperor Jiangliu had a total of nine children, except for the nine sons who unfortunately died, the others have grown up smoothly and have their own fiefs. They are the eldest prince Jiang Liuping, the second prince Jiang Liuding, the third prince Jiang Liuguang, the fourth prince Jiang Liuhui, the fifth prince Jiang Liude, the sixth princess Jiang Liuzhao, the seventh prince Jiang Liuhei, and the eighth prince Jiang Liushun.

Although the emperor had long planned to abdicate the throne, on the one hand, due to the obstruction of the eunuchs, and on the other hand, he had not considered a successor, so he never elected the crown prince. It also intensified the battle for the succession of his eight children.

"Is there anyone more suitable to inherit the throne than me?" The third prince, Jiang Liuguang, said to his confidant in the study.

"Not really. It's just that at present, His Majesty is bound by legal principles, and is still inclined to appoint the eldest prince as the crown prince. ”

"I don't need you to say it, I know it. I have my own way of this. The third prince said disdainfully, "Not long ago, the newly recruited doorman was doing this. This person is good at commanding troops, attacking cities and grabbing land, and responding to emergencies. Last time I recommended him to go west to fight against the rebels, and he won a great victory, and my father was very pleasing to him, and I rewarded him heavily. In the future, if it can be used by me, it will help me sweep the four seas and sweep the eight wildernesses. Why worry about not being able to ascend to the throne. Although the eldest brother is brave in martial arts, he is not resourceful enough, and he cannot reuse virtue, so there is no need to worry at all. The second brother is greedy for pleasure, short-sighted, has thousands of family fortunes, and has no ambitions. What I'm worried about is ......"

"Now Your Majesty doesn't care about the government, and the eunuchs are powerful...... Your Highness ......"

"This is also one of them, but although the eunuch is powerful, he has no military power, so it is not what I am most worried about......," the third prince frowned and said, "Also, there was news before that the sixth sister and the country of Iwa are secretly colluding, and I don't know what they are doing, so you should send someone to investigate this." Except for the fifth brother, I am most afraid of her. ”

"My subordinates understand." With that, the man bowed and exited the room.

"There are rebels in the west and war in the east. There are demons in the north and the sea in the south. There are aliens outside, and strife inside. It seems that it is really difficult to accomplish the grand cause. The third prince fell back on the chair and said with a wry smile.
