As soon as the news of the siege of the supply fleet came out, there was chaos in the front-line headquarters, and the imperial general Chun Yuhu immediately convened a meeting of generals to study how to rescue the three princes.

Yes, rescue the Three Princes. In the eyes of the imperial generals, supplies are not important, shipping routes are not important, and the most important thing is the safety of the lives of the three princes!

Originally, Chun Yuhu had reservations about the arrival of the three princes, and he was not even sure how to deal with this kind of Tianhuang nobleman who claimed to come to "supervise the war".

If it is the great prince Huang Mingyu who comes to the front line, Chun Yuhu will definitely be loyal wholeheartedly and obey his words.

But it was the third prince who came, which was difficult.

In the eyes of most people in the empire, including Chun Yuhu, it must be Huang Mingyu who can take over the throne in the future, even if there are any variables, this probability is more than 90%.

Especially in the past year, the eldest prince has begun to cultivate a team, and some people in the court and the army are actively moving closer to him, and the momentum is by no means comparable to that of the two minor brothers.

The second prince and the third prince are too young firstly, and secondly, they have no team, and the probability of succession is too low.

But this time, I don't know how the emperor decided to pat his head, and actually sent one of them to the northeast of the empire to quell the rebellion, and the other came to the front line to supervise the war.

This is a sensitive signal, and it only means one thing in the eyes of those who have a heart: although the opportunity for the eldest prince is still the greatest, the second prince and the third prince still have a chance.

This is a very subtle feeling, which makes a group of generals on the front line worried, how to receive the three princes?

The emperor wanted to cultivate the prince, maybe it was just a whim, but this responsibility fell on Chun Yuhu, and it became a heavy burden, and he couldn't bear it.

If given a choice, Chun Yuhu would rather be neutral. He did not plan to take refuge in it while the hidden dragon was in the abyss, and follow the chicken dog to ascend to the sky in the future, nor did he plan to gamble all his money to suppress the unpopular dark horse.

The emperor is suspicious and suspicious, and Mingzhe's preservation of his life is already a great luck in misfortune, how can there be more hope?

But the arrival of the third prince forced Chun Yuhu to make a gesture.

Let the three princes go to the front line to make meritorious contributions, not to mention safety issues, if the meritorious service award becomes a bargaining chip for the throne, the eldest prince must not hate us to death?

Letting the third prince stay in the rear is the safest choice. But how can Your Majesty explain there, what if Your Majesty has the intention to cultivate the Three Princes?

It is the most difficult to guess the emperor's heart, no one can guess the emperor's thoughts, and no one dares to bet. This is not a gamble that can be turned over after losing, it is not only the chips on the table but also their own heads, success will be eternal, and losses will be headed, unless it is the kind of outlaw who has lost and cannot lose, otherwise anyone will be cautious.

Neither advance nor retreat, so that Chun Yuhu has a lot of gray hairs on his head, and this problem even bothers him more than the casualty rate on the front line.

Until the news came that the fleet of the Three Princes was surrounded by mine thieves, Chun Yuhu actually had a feeling of relief.

"I hope this ambush can give him a dismount and let him take the initiative to go back obediently. Chun Yuhu thought so, while arranging for two lieutenant generals to command the battle on the front line instead of him, he brought more than a dozen generals and staff officers of the command and more than a hundred warships to relieve the siege of the three princes together.

The flagship of the Three Princes, the "Green Whale", floated quietly in the starry sky, surrounded by more than a dozen frigates. The cannon rumbled, but it was just for show, and there was no real engagement.

In the command room of the green whale, Huang Mingjie said to Gao Yuan dejectedly: "According to your orders, everything that should be said has been said, and everything that should be done has been done, you should lift the life and death charm for me, right?"

Gao Yuan nodded and took out a pill: "Of course I won't lose my trust." ”

After the third prince snatched the pill and swallowed it, Gao Yuan said again: "But I have to remind you that this pill can only guarantee that the life and death talisman will not attack within a year." After a year, if you don't want to taste that pain anymore, you still have to continue taking the medicine. ”

Huang Mingjie's face turned pale: "The generals of the command headquarters are coming here, your goal has been achieved, what do you want to do?" I tell you, even if I go through it again, I will not compromise with you." ”

Gao Yuan shook his head: "Come on." For those who bend their knees, as long as they have the first time, the second and third times are much simpler. Those who compromise, as long as they take the first step back, do not need to think about the second and third steps. Are you sure you want to taste the power of the Life and Death Talisman again?"

Huang Mingjie just said it, and when Gao Yuan asked him this, he immediately shut his mouth.

Gao Yuan said: "Another thing I want you to do is actually better for you." ”

Huang Mingjie snorted coldly, obviously not believing it.

"Do you want to be an emperor?" Gao Yuan suddenly asked.

Huang Mingjie was taken aback, and just wanted to deny it, but suddenly realized that there was an earthling in front of him, an enemy who would not believe his father no matter what he said, so he said coldly: "Who doesn't want to be the emperor, that's a fool." ”

"But your father is not old, and you have two older brothers. Do you think it will be your turn to be the emperor in this life?" Gao Yuan asked.

Gao Yuan was so right that Huang Mingjie couldn't refute it.

According to the order and probability of inheritance, Huang Mingjie is the lowest one anyway.

If the throne is compared to a big pie, Huang Mingyu has already grasped most of it in his hand, the second prince Huang Minglie has grabbed a small piece, and Huang Mingjie has only a pile of scum in front of him.

Besides, the current emperor is alive and well.

The Maple Leaf Empire has developed medical technology, but few emperors have reigned for a particularly long time. The average reign of the previous emperors of the dynasty was more than 30 years.

There were several emperors who dragged their feet, none of whom reigned for more than ten years, or they were unscrupulous and ruined, or they were suspicious and suspicious, and their hearts were difficult to treat, or they were brutally killed and overthrown, or they were born at the wrong time, and they were defeated and killed.

There were also several emperors who reigned for more than fifty years.

The current emperor has only been on the throne for a few years, and he is not more than forty years old. If there are no accidents, it will not be a problem to live for another hundred years.

The third prince thought about it, and suddenly felt that being an emperor was more ethereal than a dream!

He thought that he would have the opportunity to become an emperor if he was a prince, but now it seems that it is no different from an ordinary person who wants to be an emperor.

After staying for a while, Huang Mingjie suddenly realized that he shouldn't discuss this issue with Gao Yuan, and sneered at each other: "Who is the emperor is our family matter, what does it have to do with you?"

"What if I say that I can help you become emperor?" Gao Yuandao.

Huang Mingjie was taken aback: "What are you kidding!"

Gao Yuan said: "If your eldest brother accidentally makes a mistake and is locked up." If your father dies accidentally. Your second brother is far away in the northeast to quell the rebellion, and you happen to stay in Jinding City. Guess who's going to be the emperor?"

Huang Mingjie's breathing became rapid, and even though he was only thirteen years old, he knew that he was facing the most important answer in his life.
