The old emperor's fluttering words are like a small pebble but stirring up a thousand waves!

Emperor Armin? Who was the fourteenth son of Kazarnia? It was the demon prince Azad who terrified the nobles of the empire, a prince who was deprived of his inheritance and surname.

Now the old emperor actually said that as long as the crown prince violated the red line he had drawn, even if only the natural disaster of Azad remained, he would hand over the crown prince to the other party and depose the current eldest son. This attitude of treating the royal succession as if nothing was like challenging the nerves of all the nobles.

More excited than the ministers trying their best to prevent the 'natural disaster' from ascending to the throne, it was the crown prince who was threatened to replace him. Even if Nawaf didn't break down, he looked like he wanted to yell but didn't dare, and said, "Father, why should Azad replace me!" He's been stripped of his inheritance, you said it yourself. ”

"Even if you are deprived of the right of inheritance, the old fourteen wants to sit in this seat," Emperor Armin patted the armrest of his throne with a smug face, "--who of you can stop it?" The old emperor not only looked at the crown prince, but also glanced at the ministers below.

A minister groaned and said, "Can the kind of person who does not distinguish between right and wrong, good and evil be the emperor?" ”

"Distinguish between right and wrong, good from evil?" The old emperor's temperament changed abruptly, and he was no longer gentle and harmless, but a majestic and majestic man. said, "Do you need those things to sit in this position?" In our high position, is there still right and wrong, good and evil? Aiqing, the minister that Yu relied on, how did you climb to your current position, have you really forgotten? Don't try to restrain an emperor's behavior with the kind of naivety that you don't believe in and can't do. Because he is at the top of power, Yu can see more thoroughly than you. ”

Although the words were slow and the voice was deep, there was an invisible pressure that pressed the heads of all the high-ranking nobles. The emperor, one of the five great empires of the Lost Land, a member of the pinnacle of power in the world, at this moment, Fang revealed his true face.

Emperor Armin looked at the crown prince who had been shocked to the point of losing his temper with the same gaze, and said: "Yu Zhi'er, do you think that this throne and this crown have brought me the title of Emperor Yu and allowed me to stand on the pinnacle of power?" If you really think so, then it's Yu's fault. Remember! It is because Yu is at the top of power that many fools and fools offer this throne, this crown, and are honored by the name of the emperor. Thou hast this strength and value to deserve all this. Instead of just a pig, a monkey, sitting on this throne with a crown on his head, the people will shout the trumpet. ”

Speaking of this, the old emperor's momentum suddenly disappeared, freeing everyone from the pressure. And he showed a lonely expression, and said helplessly: "Speaking of which, your dear brother, the fourteenth son of Yu, is the most suitable successor. Unfortunately, even I couldn't force him to do anything. So I can only settle for the next best thing and choose you to be the crown prince. Do you understand the cause and effect of this? So, cherish the status I have given you now. ”

The old emperor didn't even notice that in his emotion, he even changed his words. It can be seen that his resentment is so deep that it is difficult for him to calm down even as an emperor.

But he finally remembered to turn his attention back to the son in front of him, and said, "But you don't have to be presumptuous, Nawaf. The path of the old fourteen is not something that anyone can walk. But you should understand that holding power and controlling power and being controlled by the power that is concentrated are two different things. Thou shalt try thy best to be the former, not to be the latter and be blinded to the fact that thou shalt be in control, when thou shalt not. This is the path of our mortals, different from the old fourteen. ”

"Father." Crown Prince Nawaf asked bitterly: "In your mind, can the fourteenth brother inherit the throne better than me?" ”

"If he really inherits this throne, it is estimated that it will only make a mess of the empire." The old emperor said with a smile.

"Then why do you like him?"

"He's not good at governing the country, but he's good at shutting people up. If that's the case, it really doesn't help to govern a country. But this is not a matter of one person, but a lot of people have to work together. Then it is very interesting to come here, the old fourteen has absolutely no patience to take care of the chores of a country, even if it is just to participate in discussions, so the actual responsibility will fall into the hands of the ministers. And his unpredictable personality, sometimes flattery will please him, sometimes flattery will only get a sword, and this cycle of change may only be one afternoon, or it may be several days. In short, no one knows what Lao Fourteen will do in the next moment, so those who cherish life and are greedy for life and afraid of death will naturally seek good fortune and avoid evil, and dare not appear where he can see. ”

Speaking of this, the old emperor glanced at the ministers below. One by one, they shrank their heads like quails, for fear that they would really be thrown by the emperor to the side of the fourteenth prince to assist in his affairs. That's not the level of a companion like a tiger, it's simply to put your head on the guillotine, just waiting for that person to be in a good mood or a bad mood, just take it at will!

And so a very interesting circle emerged. It is very likely that the ministers who will remain in the court will only be the kind of people who understand that things must be done, and dare to resolutely and stand up. And some of these diehards will die, and maybe some will be ignored by the old fourteen, and survive to push the government of the empire forward. Such people may not be talented, but at least even if they mess things up, they are no worse than greedy villains who only think about their own interests, so they don't care about the interests of the empire, and even damage in turn. So it's surprising that in my assumption of a possible future scenario, the more the old fourteen doesn't want to care about the country, the better the country is likely to become. There would be no intrigue among the ministers, for dealing with the uncertain emperor alone would have drained their enthusiasm for struggle. ”

After talking about the future, the old emperor looked back at his eldest son and said, "If the person sitting in this position is replaced by you, you may be able to surpass Yu Zhi's achievements, but that's all." However, as an emperor, as long as you take one wrong step, it is very likely that your life's work will be burned. Taking Yu as a lesson, he couldn't pull the two vicious dogs raised in the house and made them bite each other. It is conceivable that one of the two dogs will die. This can be described as a stain for the rest of my life. With that, he sighed softly.

Seeing that his eldest son still had a depressed look on his face, the old emperor first recovered his mood, smiled and said: "Yu Zhi'er, don't forget everything you just said, there is a very important premise. That is, you have disobeyed Yu's request. As long as you don't involve the empire in the dispute between the two archdukes, and don't let the people below do their own thing, and the country may be plunged into a storm, then what you fear will not happen. The position of the crown prince, and the responsibility of your successor to the emperor in the future, cannot be escaped. So, do your best, gentlemen. ”
