Lin Bai smiled and said, "If you don't tell me, I can guess it."
"Now that His Royal Highness Chen Wang has just returned to the imperial capital, his foundation is shallow. Even if His Majesty the Emperor Chu supports His Highness Chen Wang, I hope His Highness Chen Wang can compete with the third prince."
"But the high-level figures of the five families and seven sects will not think that His Royal Highness Chen Wang will be the opponent of the third prince."
"So, there is a high probability that the five families and seven schools will choose the third prince, right?"
Lin Bai's words are true.
Although Lin Bai has not been in Chu and the imperial capital for a long time, it is obvious that the third prince is deeply entrenched in the imperial capital and court, and there are many strong men and sects who are willing to serve him.
On the other hand, His Royal Highness Chen Wang made a mistake in the early years and was exiled to the fiefdom. It was not until a while ago that he received an edict from the Emperor of Chu, and His Royal Highness Chen Wang was ordered to return to the imperial capital.
The Emperor Chu summoned His Royal Highness King Chen back to the capital, obviously because he saw the situation that the third prince's family was dominant, so he had to choose a new opponent for the third prince.
Since ancient times, emperors have liked to play tricks of balance.
Emperor Chu was no exception.
Therefore, after His Royal Highness Chen returned to the imperial capital, he immediately received the support of Emperor Chu and asked His Royal Highness to go to Kezhou to destroy the Blood God Sect. This was to build momentum for His Royal Highness Chen.
In fact, everyone can see that the Blood God Sect is like an ant in the eyes of Chu State.
With the order of Emperor Chu, let alone the Blood God Cult, even the entire land of Kezhou, the army of Chu State would be crushed in an instant.
Therefore, the credit of the Kezhou Blood God Sect was given by Emperor Chu to His Royal Highness Chen Wang.
In the court hall, many ministers had vaguely guessed that at the upcoming celebration banquet, Emperor Chu would definitely praise His Royal Highness Chen Wang for his heroic leadership, and would also confer rewards on King Chen and add rank and rank to him.
Until His Royal Highness Chen was supported to the point where he could compete with the third prince.
"The third prince is now in the court of Chu State. It looks like a strong army, but in fact, the five families and seven sects may not necessarily choose the third prince!"
"Some sects and families cannot choose the third prince!"
Qian Hen said with a smile at the moment.
Lin Bai asked, "For example?"
Qian Hen glanced at Chen Yule and Huang Qingyun, and said with a smile: "For example, the Chen family and Shenglian Palace, they would not choose the third prince!"
Lin Bai was greatly surprised.
Leaving aside the self-respecting King Liang, the third prince is the closest prince among the many princes today.
Choosing him is almost a sure-fire deal.
Why didn't the Chen family and Shenglian Palace choose?
Lin Bai asked, "Why?"
Qian Hen smiled, but did not continue.
Chen Yule said: "There is an elder in my Chen family. When he broke through to the realm of Taoism, he was valued by Emperor Chu and brought into the harem. Later, he gave birth to a prince and was canonized as a concubine."
"That prince is the second prince!"
"The second prince is the most favorable contender for the crown prince, and he has the support of the Chen family behind him."
"However, three years ago, the second prince went wrong when he was practicing, and became obsessed. In the end, he lost his veins in the government office and died."
Lin Bai was taken aback for a moment, and asked, "What did the third prince do?"
Chen Yule said calmly: "Although there is no definite evidence, there should be no mistake."
"The Holy Lotus Palace had the same experience as us."
Chen Yule looked at Huang Qingyun again.
Huang Qingyun nodded, and said: "One of the elders of my Holy Lotus Palace is the concubine of Emperor Chu, and the son he gave birth to is the eldest son of His Majesty Chu!"
"That's the First Prince!"
"The Holy Lotus Palace is very happy about this. As long as the eldest prince can successfully become the crown prince and ascend the throne in the future, it will undoubtedly be a fortune for the Holy Lotus Palace!"
"However, more than twenty years ago, the eldest prince became obsessed with practicing fire, and died strangely and suddenly."
It was only then that Lin Bai suddenly realized that both Shenglian Palace and the Chen family had reasons for rejecting the third prince.
Moreover, it sounds like the two concubines of the Chen family and Shenglian Palace are in high positions in their respective sects and families, and they are both extremely powerful existences.
How could they not be angry when their son was killed?
How can you not want revenge?
It was right for Lin Bai to think about it carefully. Since she was a concubine valued by Emperor Chu, she must be the direct descendant of the Chen family and Shenglian Palace, and they were all high-status women in the Chen family and Shenglian Palace.
Emperor Chu met with them?, is actually forming an alliance with Shenglian Palace and the Chen family.
Similarly, Emperor Chu also wanted to use this relationship to stabilize the relationship between the court and the Chen family and Shenglian Palace, so the women that Emperor Chu valued were definitely not ordinary things.
Since they are not mortal things, their son was killed, and they must try their best to take revenge!
They only need a little news from the palace, and it is enough for the Chen family and Shenglian Palace to listen to them.
After all, the Chen family and Shenglian Palace have been able to sit firmly on the Diaoyutai in recent years, more or less under the care of these two concubines in the palace.
Therefore, the Chen family and Shenglian Palace would never choose the third prince unless it was absolutely necessary.
Lin Bai sighed softly, rubbed the center of his brows, and said, "This pool of water in the imperial capital is really bottomless."
Qian Hen said with a smile: "Brother Lin, your seven major sects are okay, after all, the mountain gate is not in the imperial capital. Our five major families are miserable, and the family is rooted in the imperial capital. We will more or less participate in these battles inside and outside the court in."
"Especially at the stall where Emperor Chu's ten-thousand-year birthday is now, and the stall where the crown prince is about to be established, the entire imperial capital is even more turbulent."
Lin Bai smiled and felt that Qian Hen's words were reasonable.
The seven major sects are all far away from the emperor. If it is not for the summoning of the emperor of Chu, or other things, ordinary disciples will basically not come to the imperial capital.
So you can ignore the troublesome things for the time being.
Chen Yule said in a low voice: "I have a hunch that this celebration banquet will be the first confrontation between His Royal Highness Chen Wang and the third prince!"
"Moreover, certain sects and families within the five families and seven sects have already secretly formed their teams."
"Brother Qian must have heard some rumors, right?"
Qian Hen grinned and said, "The Li family and the Zhao family are both ministers of the third prince's humerus! The death of the first prince and the second prince must have contributed a lot to the two families."
Chen Yule said: "Maybethe Sun family is secretly on the side of the third prince."
"Except for the Chen family and the Qian family, the five major families in the imperial capital have almost all formed their teams."
"Next is the stage of the seven sects!"
Chen Yule looked at Huang Qingyun, Yi Song, Lin Bai, and Shui Modan.
Yi Song smiled lightly and said: "The Ku Zen sect is a group of ascetic monks. Since ancient times, they have not stood in line, do not fight for power, do not pursue fame, do not compete for profit, and do not compete with the world!"
"Ku Zen should not stand in line!"
Yi Song looked at Shui Mo Dan again and said, "Danxia Sect was originally an alchemy sect. The disciples in the sect are good at alchemy, but not very good at fighting. Even if Danxia Sect did not choose the prince in the end, the new emperor should not be against it." How about Danxia Sect?"
"So Danxia Sect can continue to wait and see."
"The only ones to choose are Tianxianzong, Shenglian Palace, Tiandimen, Wentianzong, and Tianshuizong where Brother Lin belongs!"
"Hey, let's see the Zongmen make such a choice."
Yi Song shook his head, looking helpless.
Chen Yule picked up the wine glass and said: "Everyone, drink this glass with me, maybe the next time we meet, some people will already become enemies!"
Huang Qingyun smiled slightly, Yi Song had a wry smile on his face, Shui Mo Dan had clear eyes, Qian Hen was calm, Lin Bai looked calm, and they picked up their wine glasses and drank from each other.
Chen Yule is right, maybe the next time they meet, they will meet on the battlefield.
