Even with the blessing of the gold medal of avoiding death, it can only be said that it has avoided the threat to Ivan's life from any yamen catcher in the country.

But the open gun is easy to dodge, the hidden arrow is difficult to prevent, and the many assassinations in the future made Ivan know that the gold medal for avoiding death is just a brand.

Even so, it is still full of ups and downs, which can be called the colorful first half of his life, and Ivan often looks back at the first half of his life.

It seems that everything is full of beauty and hope, which once made Ivan think that he could live so happily for the rest of his life.

So much so that when Ivan met Yao Qiao, he could feel that his life had been completed, and his position of power would not be touched from now on.

There is no longer a need for other things to be meaninglessly embellished, Ivan only needs to wander the world with Yao Qiao and see everything in the world.

Even if it is a pair of Condor Heroes who help the poor, the two of them travel on the rivers and lakes, but they are not trapped in the rivers and lakes.

And in the rivers and lakes, there are stories of the two of them doing good deeds, which also makes Ivan and Yao Qiao gradually famous.

This is just an appreciation for the two of them, and it does not have much practical effect, but it is easy to expose the whereabouts of Ivan and Yao Qiao.

Even if Ivan has been an ideal for a long time, he is committed to realizing such a value in life, but the idea is beautiful.

Until one time, when Ivan and Yao Qiao were helping the poor on the side of the road as usual, the man suddenly pulled a dagger out of his torn sleeve. The dagger stabbed in Ivan's direction, and at the same time aimed at his heart, trying to kill him with a single blow.

Yao Qiao stood behind Ivan, keenly observing this as he lowered his head, but she didn't hesitate too much.

Yao Qiao's eyes were quick, and he quickly pulled over Ivan, protecting him from the knife, if he didn't dodge, the consequences would be unimaginable.

The secret guard behind him also found out about the situation, and without hesitation, he quickly shot it to death with an arrow, shocking the surrounding people for a while.

After shooting the gangsters, the dark guards did not show their heads immediately, after all, they could not reveal their positions at this time, otherwise they might be counterattacked.

Ivan didn't know the specific location of these secret guards, but he really startled him by looking at the dead man in front of him.

In Ivan's memory, it can be said that from childhood to adulthood, almost no one would use tricks against him, let alone assassinate him.

It's not that Ivan has the same background status as the Seventh Prince, it can only be said that he has a unique advantage as a prince.

Even if Ivan can only be regarded as a relatively ordinary prince in the palace, it doesn't mean that he is easy to bully.

You must know that in the palace, as long as it is a prince, the first emperor basically treats everyone equally, after all, all of them are his own sons.

Even if there is a difference between the eldest son and the concubine, it can be said that it will not deceive people in terms of blood, it is his own flesh and blood.

The Emperor would never allow any prince to be treated unfairly or persecuted in unimaginable ways, no.

Even if there is no absolute fairness, the first emperor basically ensured relative fairness, at most only his own resource inequality.

It's just that it may seem to outsiders that all the princes live in harmony, but the fact is that everyone's life situation is different.

Even if some people are princes, they still have to worry about it every day, even if they have the support of the first emperor, they are afraid that they will be eliminated.

If you are eliminated, then you will directly lose your life, not be expelled from the palace, and expulsion from the palace is a simple matter.

For the princes, these are unnecessary, which leads to the princes who have long begun to intrigue and fight openly and secretly.

Just with the existence of the first emperor, it is like the last barrier of life, and it will not be too obvious to threaten one's life.

The first emperor still existed for a day, and the prince with a noble status and cruel methods did not dare to make any big moves, which was a crime to be punished.

After all, the first emperor established the national law before, but anyone who intends to persecute the prince's sons and grandsons, once it is found, will be killed, and no quibbles can be made.

Since it has been established as a national law, it is natural that the Son of Heaven and the common people are guilty of the same crime, even if it is the prince, and the outcome is not negotiable.

This also made all the princes hide all their means and methods before the first emperor was seriously ill, and they did not dare to reveal it. They don't want to ignore the law of the country, and they don't dare to do things that go against the will of the first emperor, even if it is the crown prince, it does not mean that they can ignore everything.

You must know that before the crown prince is established, everything has not settled, and there is still a chance to change, and the prince may counterattack.

The first emperor is different from other emperors, he has always left the position of prince vacant, and he is not in a hurry to establish a prince, and it is not that there is no candidate at all.

Even if it is possible to make the eldest son the crown prince, it is the safest and most reasonable decision, which can only be regarded as a 10,000 step back.

The first emperor always hoped to find the most suitable heir and prolong the life of the kingdom as much as possible, at least for a few more generations.

It is not that after the first emperor drove the crane to the west, the country of Iraq fell into a chaos, after all, there was a precedent before, not a rumor.

After the emperor of a certain dynasty chose the prince by mistake and died himself, the crown prince succeeded to the throne, and the country was ruined before two years.

A country is directly attacked by other countries in this way, which has become a laughing stock in history, and the first emperor did not want to follow in the footsteps.

This kind of tragedy is not the first time in history that it has happened, which is why future generations of emperors and generals taboo this topic.

But he is also very concerned about the election of the crown prince, which is not only the election of the prince, but also related to the future development of the whole country.

This also made the first emperor watch more often, wanting to see who it was, and who would be among the many princes.

Which person can best serve the position of the crown prince and then become the next emperor is the most in line with the requirements of the first emperor, which is the most important point.

And even before the first emperor was critically ill, the second prince and the seventh prince could be said to be big celebrities in front of the first emperor, and they paid special attention.

This big celebrity is naturally the popular choice of the prince, but the first emperor never thought that he could only choose one of the two of them. With so many princes, the first emperor didn't want to be too limited, maybe there were others who could stand out in this competition.

But in order not to become the enemies of the two princes, the other princes naturally did not dare to show their talents or skills.

After all, if it was too dazzling and attracted the attention of the first emperor, it would not be a good thing, and the other princes would be blushing at him.

In the future, they will definitely be swallowed up by these two pieces of darkness, and in order to protect themselves, the princes can only hide their talents.

Whether it is a person with a background relationship behind him or a person with military power in front of him, he does not dare to appear too good in front of others.

Even if the second prince and the seventh prince are not the best, after all, no one is perfect, and the two of them are also remarkable.

can only say that for the time being, it does not meet the criteria for the first emperor to be elected as the crown prince, and he always feels that he is still a little bit of a mistake.
