The first emperor didn't want to regret it in the future, and he didn't want to die without turning a blind eye, if the seventh prince couldn't meet the standard, then he had to give up.

The first emperor was just waiting for the Seventh Prince to grow up, after all, he still had expectations for him, and it would be seen if there would be a qualitative change when he grew up.

If it was the same as always, the first emperor would definitely not make the seventh prince the crown prince, and no one could force him to make the crown prince.

And this kind of person who doesn't have much outstanding ability and only knows how to mess around is definitely not the best candidate to serve as the successor of the society in the future.

This is an undoubted point, and the second prince and the seventh prince also know this, but the two of them have their own advantages and disadvantages.

In fact, in so many years, the first emperor did not say that he was very satisfied with any prince, but it was not that he was too demanding of them.

Of course, the requirements cannot be very low, but it will not be unattainable and prohibitive, and the first emperor has his own standards.

It's just that the first emperor felt that these princes were still too lacking in exercise, and they were too young and immature to undertake great undertakings.

Even if both of them will send troops to fight, it doesn't mean that they can be a good emperor, but a good commander.

If the crown prince or the throne of the emperor were directly passed on to one of them in this way, the first emperor was very worried that it would be difficult to protect the country's country. You must know that as the Son of Heaven, the pressure to bear is not only one aspect, almost all aspects.

Even if the first emperor had already played some things in secret, leaving some hole cards, and alternatives that could be used for emergencies.

As the Son of Heaven and the lord of a country, he naturally has to be responsible for his own country, how can he only think about entertaining himself every day?

The first emperors were ready to die violently one day, and the edict had already been written, and they would not say that they would die without reservation.

But it is not enough to support too many other unexpected events, and the contingency plan is only one part of the way, and it is impossible to govern the country well.

Therefore, in the matter of choosing the crown prince, the first emperor was very patient, and he also had to consider the princes, and he was not in a hurry.

Of course, the first emperor also knew that at such a critical point in time, many princes would definitely start to show their strength, not to show their ambitions.

is to kill his own brother, the first emperor is not unclear, this is more like the regular process of seizing the crown prince.

After all, before every emperor ascends the throne, it is inevitable that he will encounter this kind of situation where several sons will seize the heir, how can there be a prince who does not want to be the crown prince.

Even if you don't have the heart to fight to the death, at least the prince can ensure his short-term safety, and the emperor is even more so.

The first emperor also came over like this, how could it not be clear? It's just that the first emperor was distressed by this war without gunpowder smoke and casualties, but he still had some expectations for which prince would perform well and finally win among a group of princes.

Whether it is the second prince who is competing openly and secretly, or the seventh prince who is eyeing each other, or which other dark horse is finally killed.

Before the crown prince is decided, these are all unknowns, and only when the dust settles, we know which prince will have the last laugh.

Even at this time, the first emperor almost never thought of stopping his eyes on Ivan, no.

The time Ivan stayed in the imperial city was too short, and when he grew up, he couldn't go out, and the first emperor couldn't see him.

In addition, Ivan's mother relied on the favor of the first emperor before, and she had already begged the first emperor, hoping to let her child go.

Don't let Ivan get involved in this war, he can't be bound to the palace for the rest of his life, which leads to many times Ivan is like a wild child. Not too many people would care about him at all, and even some princes didn't know his name.

Many times, when the first emperor discussed the government in the court, sometimes when talking about several princes, Ivan can be said to be the least mentioned.

The first emperor would not have thought of the name Ivan, after all, when Ivan's mother gave birth to him, it was very special.

Compared with other concubines, even the queen hopes that their children can be given by the emperor himself and given their names.

This will make it seem that this child is very valued, so the names of all princes are basically decided by the first emperor alone.

But Ivan's mother is different, from the time she married into the palace to the birth of Ivan, the whole process only made her see the warmth and coldness of people.

A man's mouth, a deceitful ghost, even if Ivan's queen mother was indeed favored by the emperor, but the favor is often only temporary.

The appearance that Queen Ivan thought of before, the two of them in their lives, this is simply a world of difference, which makes her really difficult to accept.

Since giving birth to Ivan, his mother has already been able to say that she has transformed wholeheartedly, and she has seen all the personnel in the palace clearly.

She doesn't want her children to be involved in the future war for the crown prince, and as a mother, she just wants her children to be safe.

So she begged the emperor to give her child a mortal character, which was different from other concubines, and Ivan's queen mother had already thought of the word.

I just hope that Ivan will spend his life ordinarily, without any major accidents and twists and turns, and I don't expect him to have a big career in this life. Even if it is enough to leave the palace and start a family, this thought has also made Ivan in his formative years.

And the first emperor was already fond of Ivan's mother, so naturally many things depended on her, and since he wanted mortal words, he gave them mortal words.

Let Ivan see all kinds of things more openly, nothing is impossible, and at the same time, it is also in the process of his own growth.

completely runs through this mortal character, Ivan does not fight or compete in the palace, and almost relies on his own efforts and talents to stand out from the crowd.

directly got rid of several princes of the same age, but this did not affect his longing for the outside world and leaving.

And not just because in the Imperial City, there may be many dangers, unknown assassinations at any time and anywhere.

These are all things that Ivan knows, and he doesn't know exactly what to do in order for him to realize his value.

It wasn't until Ivan, under the protection of the queen mother, that he went out of the palace and the city for the first time and saw the outside world, which turned out to be so beautiful.

Since then, I have never wanted to stay in the palace, and living in the imperial city is like a dream when I was young.

Ivan was comforting himself, but as time went on and he got older, he only wanted to leave more.

Ivan gradually began to want to pursue a more free, stretching life, so he began to leave the imperial city again and again.

went out again and again, in addition, Ivan got a gold medal for avoiding death that was difficult for other princes to achieve, even the second prince did not have it.

This can be regarded as the best gift that the first emperor gave to Ivan when he lost her mother, a gold medal to avoid death, like a golden helmet and iron armor.

Since then, the unrestrained life course is all due to this gold medal for avoiding death.
