In recent times, people throughout the Western Continent have set their sights on the Daisy Principality.
It first came with the news that "the old king suddenly died suddenly", and then the news that "the old king changed his will before his death and passed the throne to the third prince" followed one after another.
Just when people are still secretly speculating on what is hidden behind these two shocking news.
The eldest and second princes of the Daisy Principality have become a little helpless and want to take action.
The eldest prince did not have much power behind him, so he could only publicly declare, "Because of my mother, my second brother and I were able to see our father for the last time. When we arrived, what was waiting for us was our father's cold body and the remains of his father just now." A fresh will from the oven.¡±
He used his words to hint at the intrigue behind the will and wanted to deny its authenticity.
But the queen found a few attendants who were the two princes from nowhere. They claimed that when the old king felt a little uncomfortable, they hurriedly ran to inform the three princes. But except for the anxious third prince, The other two princes were not only doing inappropriate things in private places, but they also wanted Shanshan to be late, which led to the previous events.
Some nobles also spread the word privately in the salon: It is said that the third prince who arrived first moved His Majesty with his filial piety, and then he temporarily changed his mind and passed the throne to him!
There was an undercurrent surging in the capital of the Daisy Principality, and public opinion, guided by many forces, gradually became unfavorable to the eldest prince.
The eldest prince saw this situation and was anxious in his heart, but he was helpless. His late mother's family had been declining in recent years and did not have the power to give him much help. The merchants and low-level nobles who had originally defected to him became even more hesitant and wanted to take a look.
He was at a loss and didn't know what to do, but he had a close confidant who was able to assess the situation. One night, he went to see the eldest prince in private. After meeting, he immediately made a solemn salute and said: "Your Highness, the current situation is very important to you." It¡¯s extremely disadvantageous!¡±
These words hit the eldest prince's mind. He quickly returned the courtesy, politely asked the confidant to sit down, and then asked with a wry smile: "Although I can see this situation, I was confused by the sudden death of my father. I thought hard. There is no other way, I hope you can teach me!"
The confidant nodded secretly. Although the eldest prince was usually soft-hearted and hesitant in his actions, he was nostalgic and not ungrateful. He had been favored by the prince many years ago and knew this even more clearly. He should try his best to do it. for it. He reminded: "Besides you, the one facing the crisis right now is also the second prince!"
Of course the eldest prince knew about this, but he didn¡¯t understand what it meant, so he had to ask questions.
The confidant sighed lowly, and then said: "You are the former crown prince, and you have acted for the king in state affairs. With such an identity, you will certainly be regarded as a thorn in the eyes of the newly crown prince - if the cause of His Majesty's death is really true. Qi Qi, then your situation is really worrying!"
"And this situation also applies to the second prince! He has no name and no status, but he has the greatest military power in the principality and can threaten the throne at any time! In this way, how can the third prince sit on the throne even if he sits on the throne? So sure!"
"The enemy of my enemy is my friend! The third prince is so powerful in front of us, and he also occupies the great righteousness of the will. If you and the second prince deal with it alone, they will inevitably be unable to compare!"
"Then why not join forces with the second prince to deal with him?"
The eldest prince was pleased to hear this, "But because of the throne, the second brother and I had some troubles. We were just looking for him, but I don't know if he had such intention." He hesitated again, "And the second brother has a heavy army. If I join forces with them, I'm afraid I will give up the throne"
"You are so confused!" The confidant couldn't help but stamp his feet, "As the saying goes, the lesser of two powers harms each other. Since we are hopeless with the third prince, there may be a glimmer of hope for us if we join forces with the second prince!"
"In the fight with the third prince, the second prince with military power may have the upper hand, but the fight is only temporary. Our ultimate goal is to take over the principality and handle the civil affairs! You have temporarily handled the state affairs for your majesty, and since then You are better at this than the inexperienced second prince, so the responsibility will fall back on your shoulders!"
"If you are able to conduct state affairs, of course you will have easier access to those ministers than the second prince, and it will be easier to win over them!"
These words were so thoughtful that the eldest prince could not help but nod his head, but after a while, he frowned again and said in a low voice: "It's just that by then, I'm afraid that the second child will use the same method as the third child to deal with me. ¡¡±
"Your Highness!" The confidant stamped his feet again, somewhat hating that iron could not be made into steel. "The so-called thing depends on people!" He said, but seeing that the eldest prince was still uneasy, he could only comfort him: "One time is too much for such a thingif not three times." Prince, he is hereThe position is not right. Even if the second prince has this intention, he may not dare to do it. If he does the same thing to you again, I'm afraid it will chill the hearts of all the lords! "
"And I have also heard that although the second prince is a little reckless, he is very kind to his subordinates and remembers their merits - he even asked His Majesty for mercy for his subordinates' mistakes!" After a pause, his confidant said again: "Such a person can be regarded as a reminder of old friendship - even if you and him are at a disadvantage in the fight, if you beg for mercy or mercy, the second prince will inevitably miss you because of your efforts. I¡¯ll be a little more generous to you.¡±
"At that time, the throne and power may be hopeless, but it is not difficult to seek peace for the rest of our lives!"
After the confidant finished speaking, he took a breather and saw that the eldest prince had not expressed his position yet. He couldn't help but become anxious and shouted: "Your Majesty, no matter what the situation was at that time, if you were not careful at all, you would be killed." It¡¯s much safer! Are you so anxious that you can¡¯t even understand this?¡±
The eldest prince finally came to his senses and bowed to his confidant, "Thank you sir!"
" And without further delay, once he made up his mind, he no longer hesitated. He immediately made some arrangements, took a few personal guards, went out of the back door in disguise, and went straight to the second prince's palace.
At this time, the second prince was also discussing with his subordinates what to do now. Hearing that his eldest brother was coming, he was startled at first, and then hurriedly welcomed him into the house. The eldest prince asked the second son to withdraw his subordinates and mentioned the previous decision to him.
The second prince has been leading troops for a long time, and his decisiveness is not comparable to that of the elder. He just hesitated a little and nodded in agreement.
They discussed the specific matters and made a knight's agreement. They discussed that the fight between the two parties must be completely pushed to the third child before proceeding.
Then, the boss returned to his palace and began to summon his subordinates, asking them to try to control the public opinion in the capital to endorse their immediate actions. After the eldest prince left, the second son summoned the knights. They divided their forces and controlled the guards of the royal capital. They followed the eldest prince's people to appease the many nobles in the royal capital. At the same time, they wanted to break into the palace and capture the murderer. Their father's slut and rebellious son!
These two princes actually want to take advantage of the dark moon and high winds to decide the fate of the world in one fell swoop!
