Chapter 169: Harboring a Ghost in My Heart

The eldest prince investigated Shen Qianchen and found that he didn't seem to have a son and a daughter, so he had a sense of superiority in his heart.

However, the emperor's body is still quite tough, and Shen Qianchen is still his strongest opponent.

"Congratulations to the Emperor!" Shen Qianchen heard the meaning of his words, but he didn't care.

Although he likes children a lot, he cares more about Bai Linxia.

In today's situation, they are not suitable for having children at all......

"The seventh brother is not small, work hard as soon as possible!" The eldest prince meant something.

"Brother likes to follow fate!" He had already planned for the affairs of his children.

"What did the eldest brother and the seventh brother say, such a deed?" At this time, the third prince also came over.

Since Shen Qianchen came back, there were many people who supported him, and he felt a crisis.

The emperor has always favored him and has the heart to pass on the throne to him.

They have been fighting for so many years, but they are not as good as a person who has been missing for five years, how can the third prince not hate it in his heart.

However, he knew very well in his heart that the emperor wanted to make their fathers and sons filial and brothers live in harmony.

It's a pity that the children of the royal family can't do this at all, unless they voluntarily give up fighting for the throne.

Even so, the last person to sit on the throne will not necessarily treat them well.

The third prince has been intriguing with the eldest prince since he was sensible.

However, the eldest prince's mother family is strong and has more power than him, but he doesn't care.

Now that the emperor has not yet appointed a prince, they all still have a chance.

His mother clan was still waiting for him to take refuge, and he didn't have time to think about anything else.

Who would have thought that Shen Qianchen would be killed halfway.

Back then, after he disappeared, he and the eldest prince secretly sent people to find him, wanting to directly cut the grass and eradicate the roots.

It's a pity that Shen Qianchen was too cunning, and after leaving Qidu, there was no news.

In the past five years, they all thought that he had withdrawn from this battle, but in the end, when they were in full swing, Shen Qianchen suddenly came back.

The third prince and the eldest prince have been constantly testing him, but Shen Qianchen is at ease.

The palace banquet hurts, and everyone has ghosts in their hearts, and they all want to find each other's mistakes and make each other ugly in public.

After all, reputation is very important to them.

Once the reputation is flawed, how can you win the crown prince?

The emperor watched their actions, but he did not stop them, but let them go their separate ways.

As he said, the throne is inhabited by capable people, if Shen Qianchen can't handle these things well, the emperor will not always be willing to let him be the crown prince......

Shen Qianchen didn't stay long at the banquet, so he excused himself from being uncomfortable and left the table directly.

He had always hated those who were calculating, but he really had no ambitions for the throne.

It's a pity that the eldest prince and the third prince seem to regard him as an enemy.

However, Shen Qianchen didn't care, after all, they did a lot of things secretly in order to succeed in becoming the prince.

There is only one emperor, and those who fail will inevitably die a bad death in the future.

Shen Qianchen saw through this point and lived a wanton and open-minded life......

After the palace banquet, he officially returned to everyone's attention.

After the emperor saw his performance, he secretly revealed that he planned to make a prince.

In fact, a few years ago, the ministers of the court had always wanted to invite the emperor and let him make the crown prince, but at that time, the emperor was at his peak, and no one wanted to anger him......&

Now, he is getting old, and someone must take care of the inheritance.

After everyone learned the news, they went to the little eunuch beside the emperor, wanting him to help, so that the emperor could treat his connections carefully.

However, the little eunuch has been silent and unwilling to say anything, but the chief eunuch is loyal to the emperor, so naturally he will not betray the emperor.

They couldn't guess the emperor's thoughts, but they quickly decided to start approaching several princes.

The ministers of the court and China began to surrender to several princes, and most of them chose the eldest prince.

The eldest prince is the eldest son of the emperor, and he has been in the court for many years and has managed a lot of contacts.

However, there are also many ministers who support Shen Qianchen.

They can all see that in fact, the emperor's favorite person is him.

When he didn't come back before, the emperor never revealed that he wanted to make a prince.

Now, Shen Qianchen has just come back, and he is about to make a prince, which is obviously biased towards him.

The battle for the throne has always been cruel, and once you bet on the wrong treasure, it is very likely that the whole family will be destroyed.

Not everyone can get the power from the dragon......

Shen Qianchen has been helping the emperor deal with some trivial political affairs, and he has long understood the thoughts of the courtiers.

However, he didn't care at all, after all, he had no ambition for that position, if he hadn't promised the emperor to assist the next emperor, he would have left early in the morning.

As for who can become the crown prince, Shen Qianchen didn't want to interfere, but when he thought of the next emperor, it was related to the well-being of all the people in the world.

If he is not capable, the people of Li will suffer in the future, and he will not be able to leave as soon as possible.

So, Shen Qianchen secretly investigated the eldest prince and wanted to understand his character.

After all, his temperament and character are related to the people of the world.

Although Shen Qianchen didn't want to be involved, he didn't want the Jun family to be crumbling......

The eldest prince soon noticed that Shen Qianchen was secretly investigating himself.

A hint of tyranny instantly surged into his heart.

"Master, the Seventh Prince has just returned, if we act rashly, it is likely that the Third Prince will benefit!" The confidant of the eldest prince, knowing his thoughts, immediately dissuaded him.

If they attack Shen Qianchen, whether they succeed or not, they are likely to become a pathfinder for others.

"Shen Qianchen sent someone to investigate himself secretly, obviously wanting to compete with me for the throne, I don't want him to get his wish!" A trace of murderous intent flashed in the eyes of the eldest prince.

"Your Highness, you are not alone in the dissatisfaction with the Seventh Prince now, it is better for us to wait and see what happens!" Strategist Zhou Siren proposed.

"This prince can't wait!" Shen Qianchen is a thorn in his flesh, like a fish in his throat that does not get rid of unpleasantness.

"Your Highness, now the Holy Lord is planning to establish the crown prince, if someone catches the handle, I am afraid that the throne will not be related to you!" After Zhou Siren heard his words, his eyes were full of disapproval.

He was too impulsive and wanted to solve everything by violent means, and Zhou Siren felt a headache.

At the beginning, he chose to assist the eldest prince entirely because he was not only a son-in-law, but also a strong maternal family, and he was the most likely person among several princes to ascend to the throne.

Who knows, after he came into contact with the eldest prince, he found that although he had good means, he was brave and unscrupulous, his mind was ruthless and vicious, and he had no benevolence at all.

However, since he has already surrendered to the other party, he has only gone to the dark in one way......

"Hmph, do you want me to watch Lao Qi investigate me while I don't do anything?" He likes to take things into his own hands.

"Your Highness, although we don't do anything, we can make the Seventh Prince jealous of you and dare not easily calculate you!" Zhou Siren is a man of both intelligence.

It's a pity that he followed the wrong master, and he often had to help the eldest prince deal with the aftermath.

So much so that his ambitions have not been realized.

He originally wanted to assist a person who had a fortune, but unfortunately he had the handle in the hands of the eldest prince, so he could only do things for him wholeheartedly, and he didn't dare to slack off.

"This matter will be handed over to you to deal with, if it is not done well, you know the consequences!" After listening to his words, the eldest prince quickly calmed down.

Now, the position of the crown prince is still vacant, and he really needs to be cautious in doing things, once he makes a wrong step, he will lose everything.

"Yes!" Although Zhou Siren didn't want to take on this errand, the eldest prince had already spoken, and he had no right to refuse.

The eldest prince has always been self-respecting in his work, and he doesn't like to be refuted.

Zhou Siren secretly plotted and provided Shen Qianchen with a lot of false news, making him think that the eldest prince was a very talented and valuable person.

Shen Qianchen has been away from Qidu for five years, and he doesn't know anything about the eldest prince and the third prince.

He saw that there were many ministers in the court who supported the eldest prince, so he wanted to investigate his character and style of acting first.

Now the most fierce competition belongs to the three princes and the eldest prince.

Shen Qianchen felt that the one who was made the crown prince was probably one of them.

Therefore, he investigated very carefully.

It's a pity that he was still deceived by Zhou Siren with a trick.

After he learned that the eldest prince was a righteous and intelligent man, he made a decision in his heart.

During this period, when many courtiers approached him to discuss competing for the crown prince, they were all rejected by Shen Qianchen.

"I think the eldest prince has a valuable character, and he is the eldest son of his father, if you really think about the country, you can support him!" Shen Qianchen directly revealed his thoughts to them.

"Your Highness, do you really want to support the Great Prince?" Cheng Yifan said with a solemn face.

"I don't want the throne!" He never hid his original intentions.

"If the eldest prince was an emperor's talent, the minister would have assisted him a long time ago!" Cheng Yifan has a more intimate relationship with him, and Shen Qianchen is still half of his son's master.

Cheng Yifan decided to support Shen Qianchen early on.

"I've checked, the eldest prince's ability is acceptable!" He knew what Cheng Yifan meant, but he really didn't want to spend his whole life in the palace.

"I'm afraid Your Highness has been deceived!" Cheng Yifan knew very well in his heart what kind of person Shen Qianchen was.

Since he said that he has no intention of the throne, he will definitely not fight for it.

However, he did not want the eldest prince to inherit the throne.

"What do you mean?" Shen Qianchen couldn't help frowning.

"The eldest prince does not compromise the means to achieve the goal, and often for his own interests, he does not care about the life and death of others!" Cheng Yifan directly said the reason why he was unwilling to assist the eldest prince.

"Really?" A trace of coldness crossed Shen Qianchen's dark eyes.

"The minister is loyal to the emperor, there is no lie, His Royal Highness the prince is a little brutal, and he treats his subordinates at every turn, but he has a resourceful minister by his side to help him deal with the aftermath!"

Cheng Yifan had no choice but to reveal the true face of the eldest prince, "Zhou Siren's methods are superb, and he can help the eldest prince erase all traces every time, making it impossible to find conclusive evidence!" ”

Otherwise, the third prince would have used this matter to suppress him a long time ago.

"If he is really what you say, then he is not worthy of being a prince at all!" Shen Qianchen's eyes lit up.

"The minister doesn't dare to say that the people who support him in the court are all for the sake of his mother's strong family and the eldest son of the emperor, otherwise with his ability, he will not be able to ascend to the throne of the prince at all!" Cheng Yifan sighed.

"Regarding the matter of the eldest prince, I will continue to investigate!" Shen Qianchen said expressionlessly.

"If Your Highness has no intention of ruling the government, the ministers can only obey, but the burden of the country and the society must be handed over to someone who can sympathize with the people!" Cheng Yifan knew that the decision he made would not be changed easily.
