Chapter 3: Ivan's Escape
As long as you know a little bit about history, you will know that the battle for the crown prince is bloody and cruel.
In this war, it can be said that none of the princes were spared, and the princes joined it voluntarily or by force.
Some of them often just want to spend this life in an ordinary way, while some people have been waiting for this war for a long time.
More of them are gearing up, and it seems that they have not yet become emperors, and they are beginning to prepare to show their strength against their brothers.
And often the end result is a defeat for both sides, or even several defeats, no one can be left alone, and no one is considered innocent.
This is the cruelty of the struggle for the crown prince, precisely because it is often very difficult for a certain person to win this war.
Therefore, many princes began to form groups and began to find their own comrades-in-arms or teammates, and gradually formed a united front.
The princes who formed the team naturally had only one goal in their hearts, and that was to prepare to work together to compete for the crown prince.
Often in a team, there will be a prince who becomes the central figure, and he is definitely the most advantageous and the most likely candidate to become the crown prince. Maybe his background is very dominant, maybe his power is hard to ignore, maybe his ability is valued by the emperor.
Anyway, in a team, he is the center, and the rest of the people are all helping him become the prince.
When he was made the crown prince and later became the next emperor, those princes who had helped would naturally become subordinate princes.
At this time, several princes, relying on their childhood and growing up power relationships, will gradually begin to form gangs and grow their teams.
Then one or two of the remaining princes will definitely be drawn into this war, and no one will be able to keep themselves out of it.
They may look at the current situation and the relationship of interests, and join a certain team, at least to save their lives.
At the same time, these teams will gradually merge from a few teams to only two teams after they grow and then fight against each other.
Several princes will push one of them, hoping that the first emperor can see it and let him be reused and become the crown prince.
This also caused the first emperor to lie in his bedroom to rest in the palace, and there was already a situation of war outside.
The emperor's own sons began to kill each other, and in order to get rid of the best candidate for the crown prince in front of them, they naturally began to calculate with each other.
It's not an exaggeration to say that everyone is starting to become a killer in the palace, after all, everyone has a scheming.
Otherwise, it would not have been possible that in just one year, there would be a few fewer princes, and later summed up, all of them were said to have died violently.
You must know that they are all young, only in their twenties, and they are in their prime, how can they all die violently in the palace due to physical reasons? This is obviously something that is difficult for the imperial doctor to explain, but when life and death are at stake, everyone is afraid.
Even if it is a doctor or a doctor, in order to save his life, he can only let some princes instigate him to change the cause of death.
And those princes who were wrongfully or mistakenly killed, or even died tragically in the process of seizing the heir, are often destroyed and destroyed.
They can be regarded as the unjust spirits in this imperial city, and these things will inevitably be transmitted to the mortal world and let the people of Dawn know.
It's just that most of them only know an ending, or the process of the rumors coming out, and no one can know the truth.
There will be some people who discuss the life and death of the prince, and they will start to suspect the relationship between the prince and the prince in the palace.
But the relationship between the prince and the prince is bound to be related to the honor and innocence of the royal family, how can it be that those people can discuss it casually?
And often a lot of self-righteous people, young and old, talk about it on the street.
In the end, all of them were arrested and sentenced to death, which was inevitable, and no one could appeal the grievance.
Without this power, when the common people began to discuss it without knowing whether they were alive or dead, they had already condemned themselves to death.
And because Ivan is not in the palace, he naturally avoids a lot of edges, and if it scrapes himself, he will definitely die.
But this does not mean that as long as you are outside the palace, you can be alone and try to protect your own safety, which is almost impossible.
It's just that since Ivan left the palace, his queen mother has placed a lot of secret guards around him to protect his life.
This also led to the subsequent pursuit of Ivan by other princes, many times unsuccessful, and he would always escape without dying.
And after the assassination of Ivan failed many times, some princes will begin to wonder if there are other princes behind Ivan.
may be an opponent he doesn't know, and those princes continue to persecute Ivan in secret, hoping to get rid of this hidden danger.
Ivan himself did not dare to return to the imperial city, if he did, he might become a living target, and he would definitely die at that time.
As for what the method of death, Ivan could guess it, it could be killed by random arrows, poisoned to death, stabbed to death, all sorts of things.
And Ivan's queen mother in the imperial city is also a flying pigeon, so that Ivan should not think about returning to the palace, and spend this time in peace first.
Protecting herself is the top priority, and although the queen mother cares about Ivan very much, she believes that her son can save the day.
Ivan did not disappoint the queen mother either, he knew about it, and he knew that his situation was no easier than in the palace.
In the absence of any power, Ivan could only flee with Yao Qiao, and the two of them really became wanderers.
But this is not a bad thing, and it is certainly not a good thing, after all, let people know that there is a prince outside.
Because in the process of forming a gang, there are always people who remember Ivan, and even take him as a thorn in their side and a thorn in their flesh.
So when the princes chose to hold together, in the end, Ivan was left alone, and naturally someone would have murderous intentions towards him.
Ivan didn't join any side, maybe he had wolf ambitions, and the other princes would not ignore his existence and send people to hunt him down.
This is what I said earlier, as to why someone wanted to assassinate Ivan, no one knows which gang Ivan belongs to.
People here will think that Ivan is one of those princes, and in this way, Ivan originally only held a neutral attitude.
Instead, they have become enemies on both sides, which is why Ivan has been constantly evading pursuit and running around for so many years.
It is also the subjective reason for the next tragedy later, it is undeniable to know that at this point in time when the first emperor died at any time.
It can be said that many princes may only see each other once in their lives, after all, people will die, even if this person is the Son of Heaven.
As long as the person who can compete for the crown prince at this time is basically the next emperor, this is an irrefutable fact.
