Next, Yang Yi figured out what was going on.

More than a thousand years ago, after the sudden death of the last emperor of the Lei Ling clan, more than a dozen princes, including the current Wanluo War Emperor, broke out into a civil war of scale and space in order to compete for the throne. It was also this civil war that caused the Lei Ling Clan's status in the Galactic Alliance to plummet. Because it is related to the prestige of the Lei Ling royal family, and even more so to the reputation of the Wanluo War Emperor, this battle for the throne has always been the biggest secret of the Lei Ling clan. Not to mention other civilizations, even within the Lei Ling Clan, no one dared to talk about this matter casually. In the final analysis, it is because Emperor Wanluo is not the first heir to the throne, and his means of seizing the throne can be said to be extremely dirty.

Like the Weaver Clan and the Hidden Spirit Clan, the Lei Ling Clan's right to inherit the throne also has clear regulations, but there are also differences. To put it simply, the heir to the throne of the Lei Ling clan is not directly appointed by the emperor, nor is it chosen by the elders of the royal family through voting. Normally, the emperor of the Lei Ling clan will select a few princes with outstanding abilities and are loved by the people in the late stage of his life to recommend them to the royal elders, and then the elders will arrange some specific tasks, and finally choose the heir to the throne through the performance of completing the tasks. If nothing else, the successor to the throne must be the most powerful, prestigious and honorary prince.

However, this selection method is only suitable for the usual situation.

If the emperor dies suddenly, the problem is serious.

Back then, the emperor of the Lei Ling clan died suddenly, and he did not recommend the prince to the elders of the royal family before that, so he could not talk about the test before inheriting the throne.

In fact, this is also the cause of the struggle for the throne.

It's just that among the more than ten princes, Wanluo Zhanhuang is not the most prominent one, and he is not outstanding in terms of ability or reputation.

His only advantage was that he was married and had children, so there was no question of heirs after he ascended the throne.

In fact, whether there are heirs or not is also one of the main criteria for the Lei Ling clan to choose an heir to the throne.

As a result, the Emperor of Wanluo, who did not have the original intention, stood out in the battle for the throne, and the then Prince Arlington was one of the elders of the royal family. In fact, it was with the support of Prince Arlington in the first place that Emperor Wanluo was able to overwhelm several princes whose talents and prestige were above him. It's just that the fact that Emperor Wanluo was able to get the support of Prince Arlington had nothing to do with the fact that he already had children, but a promise he made that after sitting on the throne, he would give amnesty to the world, forgive all the princes who competed with him for the throne, and canonize these princes as princes and treat them accordingly, so as to ensure that the royal family of the Lei Ling clan would not suffer greater losses because of this civil war.

After gaining the support of Prince Arlington, the Emperor of Wanluo rose to prominence and quickly won the war.

At the beginning, Prince Arlington was very pleased with what Emperor Wanluo had done, because he fulfilled his promise, not only did he not persecute the princes who competed with him for the throne, but also canonized several princes as princes, and even gave fiefs and the highest level of treatment for members of the royal family. According to the arrangement of the Wanluo War Emperor, all his brothers will become princes and obtain a fief on the Lingxiao Star.

Of course, these princes had to return to the sky and swear allegiance to him.

As an elder of the royal family, and the strongest elder, he is also the main supporter of the Wanluo War Emperor, and he is the master of this battle for the throne, Prince Arlington is obliged to serve as the microphone of the Wanluo War Emperor, that is, on behalf of the Wanluo War Emperor, to read the holy decree to the exiled princes, and let them return to the Hidden Spirit Star to receive canonization. Under the circumstances, only Prince Arlington had the ability to get the other princes to admit defeat.

Under the "persuasion" of Prince Arlington, many princes returned to the Hidden Spirit Star one after another.

It's just that Prince Arlington never thought that all this was a trap set by the Wanluo War Emperor.

As he travels in search of the last prince and youngest prince of Corgon, disaster strikes. When he received the news, all the princes he had persuaded to return to Ling Xiaoxing had been killed, and they were still killed by the Wanluo War Emperor himself at the ceremony of crowning the prince.

Obviously, Emperor Wanluo never thought of letting go of those brothers who were competing with him for the throne.

Perhaps, in the eyes of Emperor Wanluo Zhan, Prince Kegun, who was not yet ten years old at the time, was not a threat at all, at least far inferior to other princes.

"In addition, it has to do with the revelation of his conspiracy. As I later learned, one of his subordinates undoubtedly leaked the news while he was plotting to deal with the princes who had returned to accept the canonization. If he hadn't taken immediate action, these princes would definitely have fled from Ling Xiaoxing. Prince Arlington sighed and added, "At that time, my first thought was to go back to him and settle scores. But under the persuasion of my men, I gave up this stupid idea. He can eradicate all his brothers with hatred, so naturally he will not take me as a prince in his eyes. Besides, he is on the throne and no longer needs my help, so he will not take his original promise seriously. ”

"And then?"

"I've returned to my territory, and I've expanded my guard, ready to take on his challenge. Of course, I am only a prince, and even if I defeat him, I will not have the right to sit on the throne. After the murder of the other princes, the only one eligible to inherit the throne was Prince Corgun. I once sent someone to look for Prince Corgon, but I didn't find him, but I got a clue that the last person who was with Prince Corgan was Queen Lotie. Prince Arlington paused for a moment, then added, "Queen Lotie is the sister of Prince Corgan, and she was married to the Hidden Spirit before the battle for the throne broke out, so she was not implicated. If there is anyone who is willing to help Prince Corgun, and has the ability to help Prince Corgun, it can only be her. With her abilities, it would have been easy to hide Prince Corgun. ”

"Why did she help Prince Corgun?"

"It's very simple, she is not willing to marry the Hidden Spirit Clan, and at the beginning, when it came to the marriage, Emperor Wanluo Zhan took a favorable position, and even the main promoter. Although it was her father who made the final decision, after the Wanluo War Emperor ascended the throne, it was impossible for her to return to Ling Xiaoxing. If she wants to change her fate, then the only way is to support Prince Korgen and make him emperor. ”

"In order to report on her, Prince Corgan will definitely take her back after he becomes emperor."

Prince Arlington nodded and said, "After getting this clue, I had planned to go to her, hoping to find Prince Cockgan through her. It's a pity that I have made it clear before this that I support the Wanluo War Emperor, and those princes who were killed were all invited back by me. Obviously, if I went to find Queen Lotte like this, she would definitely not believe me, or even see me. Besides, she is the queen of the Hidden Spirit Clan, and I am a prince who has lost power, if she doesn't want to see me, even if she goes to the Hidden Spirit Star, it will be useless. At that time, the only way to make her believe was to break with Wanluo Zhanhuang and expose Wanluo's conspiracy. ”

Yang Yi sighed and didn't say anything.

"It's just that just as I was about to do that, war broke out."

"So, you didn't do it."

"No matter what, the Lei Ling clan needs an emperor, and Prince Ke Gen was only over ten years old at the time, even if he can drag the Wanluo War Emperor off the throne and let Prince Ke Gen ascend the throne as emperor, it is impossible for the Lei Ling clan to become stronger from this. In addition, during the war, we need an emperor with outstanding abilities. Even if Wanluo Zhanhuang is not the most ideal choice, it is definitely much better than a little prince who is more than ten years old. ”

"And then?"

"What happened later, you know for sure."

Yang Yi was slightly stunned, and then nodded, indicating that he understood what Prince Arlington meant.

"At that time, going to the North Fourth District to participate in the war was my only choice, and it was also the most ideal choice, because only in this way could I avoid becoming an enemy of the Wanluo War Emperor. Even if I don't like him at all, for the sake of the overall situation, I can only leave, and only in this way can I unite the Lei Ling clan. Prince Arlington paused slightly, then said, "It is precisely because of this that I have gained the trust of Queen Lotie, at least in her opinion, I am willing to lead the guards to the North Fourth District to resist the invading Silicon Charm Alliance, instead of staying in the rear to clear the remnants of the enemies for the Wanluo War Emperor, showing that I am not a minion of the Wanluo War Emperor, and that everything I do is for the Lei Ling Clan." Shortly thereafter, I learned from Queen Rodette that Prince Cockgan was still alive and in North 4, hidden in one of the Commonwealth of Humanity's colonial galaxy. ”

"What!?"

Of course, this is just the news she asked someone to bring in. Although I spent a lot of time during the war, visiting almost all the colonized galaxies of the Human Federation, as well as many of the star systems occupied by the Silicon Charm army, I did not find any clues related to Prince Korgun. Prince Arlington sighed before saying, "Of course, it is possible that she was lying to me, and the information she revealed to me may not be true, after all, the situation was still unclear at the time." If she really knew the whereabouts of Prince Corgun, but thought that I was still loyal to the Wanluo War Emperor, she would have deliberately deceived me to test me. Either way, Prince Korgen is still alive, and only she knows where he is hiding. ”

"Why?"

"Before I was imprisoned, she never swore allegiance to the Wanluo War Emperor, and she never even had direct contact with the Wanluo War Emperor."

"This ......"

"So, what now?"

Yang Yi was slightly stunned before nodding and saying, "As far as I know, she is still the queen of the Hidden Spirit Clan, and she lives in a simple place and rarely appears in public. ”

"So, she still has a glimmer of hope, right?"

"In other words, Prince Corgan is still alive, and in her opinion, Prince Corgen is the only way for her to leave the Hidden Spirit Star and return to the Celestial Star."

Prince Arlington smiled faintly and said, "So, you should go to the Hidden Spirit Star and ask her for clarification." After finding Prince Corgun, go to Soaring Star. In any case, the only one who is now eligible to inherit the throne and who can live in peace with you is Prince Corgun. (To be continued.) )
