Chapter 223 Undercurrent Surges

As the king of a country, in many cases, one needs to listen to the opinions of all officials to act, but the biggest difference between a monarch and a democratic system is that in some cases, the monarch has absolute power, just like what Long Jiu saw in the court a few days ago. The old emperor's words can suppress everyone's rebuttals!

However, although this decision cannot be changed, it is precisely because of such a sudden decision that the situation involved is one after another. What happened in secret is a bit intriguing in the place where the old emperor could not see...

At this moment, in a bedroom in the palace, two old and young were sitting face to face, with the young man's expression full of nervousness and vague worries.

"Father, have you really decided? But I'm not ready yet. My elder brother has just passed away not long ago. Will he be a little too anxious..."

After a while of silence, the young man finally couldn't help but ask softly. Although the service on his body was luxurious, the man felt uncomfortable when he wore it on his body. He couldn't help but slowly thrust, and the waves and ups and downs in his heart were evident.

The identity of this old and young is naturally the old emperor of the Dragon Empire, Emperor Byron Landric, and the ninth prince Byron Rejet, who was announced to be the new crown prince by him not long ago. The former was calm and leisurely, while the latter seemed a little overwhelmed and nervous. His father's decision was obviously beyond the expectations of the ninth prince! He had thought of becoming the crown prince, but he did not expect that everything would come so quickly and suddenly! He was not prepared at all.

"Don't worry, Lei Jiete, my father is old. Although he still looks so energetic now, only my father himself knows that as long as the real dragon fighting spirit in his body bursts out, the vicissitudes of time will destroy me. At that time, I can only become a walking corpse. If the Dragon Empire at that time did not have a wise ruler, the empire would be in chaos, which I absolutely do not want to see!"

Later, the old emperor unconsciously used the title of honor for himself, and was a little excited. His majestic look made the ninth prince feel frightened and couldn't help but lower his head.

"Rejet, my father knows that your ambition is the youngest among all children, and you try to avoid contact with everyone. These fathers see it. Today I call you here, just to tell you in advance that the father has made his own decision and the person who takes over the position of Prince Orom is you! In a month, I will hold the new crown prince's throne ceremony in the imperial city to announce the news of the whole world! By then, you will start to shoulder the heavy responsibility of the entire Dragon Empire and cannot just read and write like before. Rejet, my father doesn't want to force you, it's all for your own good, for the sake of the entire Dragon Empire, can you understand your father's painstaking efforts?"

After hearing what my father said, I never thought that one day the title of prince would fall on me, the ninth prince, who held his clothes tightly. For a moment, I felt a little difficult to calm down. The news came too suddenly. I could no longer say whether I was excited or nervous, and I couldn't speak for a while...

"But Father, if you let me become the new crown prince, the princes will definitely be unconvinced. At that time, I will be afraid..."

Lei Jie said hesitantly after a long time. He stopped halfway through this, but with the old emperor's intelligence, of course, he could know what he was going to say.

"I will make arrangements for this matter! Those kids should not do too much! From now on, I will let Yaotian's two children Long Yi and Long lead their subordinates to guard you day and night! Until the end of the throne ceremony! With the protection of them, there should be no major problems!"

Hearing this, the Ninth Prince suddenly felt a little relieved, but for some reason, he still had a bad premonition in his heart. However, in order to avoid his father thinking too much, he didn't say much, but just nodded silently and buried all the complicated thoughts in his heart. He couldn't say whether he was more excited or worried at this moment...

At the same time, in the Kong family, one of the five major families, the same father and son dialogue was staged. However, the one standing here was not a father and son, but all the five father and son were present. The youngest fourth young master of the Kong family, Kong Jiangshu, who had lost his fighting ability by Long Jiu almost half a year ago, was also standing at the edge.

"You should all know. The emperor is already planning to establish a new crown prince! It has only been more than a month since the eldest prince was killed due to rebellion! I thought the emperor would ask us ministers for their opinions before deciding on a new crown prince, but I didn't expect that this old guy would actually play with such a trick and directly ignore the princes supported by our families, wanting to determine the smallest and most useless ninth prince as the new crown prince! This trick is really amazing!"

A middle-aged man in his forties or fifties standing at the front was naturally Kong Guoxiong, the current head of the Kong family. Of course, this man's face was not much better. For the matter of the new crown prince, the Kong family has not used any little brains in the past month. They were originally optimistic about the third prince who is well-versed in national affairs and the world. And if this prince inherited the throne, it would be of great benefit to the Kong family's plan! Unexpectedly, in the court a few days ago, the old emperor directly decided on the matter of the ninth prince becoming the new crown prince, which caught him off guard. If the ninth prince really ascended the throne and became the new crown prince, all the efforts and efforts of the Kong family over the years would be in vain!

"My father, according to me, there are still great changes in this matter! As we all know, the current Dragon Empire is surrounded by enemies on all sides, and it is the forces of our five major families that are shocking the four empires in all directions. If the emperor wants to establish a new crown prince, if we make a decision directly without asking for instructions, we will definitely offend many senior generals and ministers in the court. At that time, even the emperor will not be willing to bear the consequences. Therefore, when you go to court tomorrow, the emperor will definitely raise this matter again. As long as you fight with your father, you will definitely shake the emperor's wishes. According to the information obtained by the child, among the five major families, except for the Long family, the Long family has always been the most sincere dog in the hands of the royal family and unconditionally supports all the decisions of the royal family, the remaining four major families have their own tricks, and no one will press the treasure on the ninth prince. This time, the emperor's plan is probably not so easy to implement!"

The person who made a voice was a man nearly thirty years old standing at the front of the four children, with a tough expression on his face, but his eyes flashed with cunning light. This person was Kong Yanling, the eldest son of the Kong family. Not long ago, he led tens of thousands of Kong family troops and the 108 guards carefully trained by the Kong family to compete for the seeds of the earth veins. He thought it would be foolproof, but he did not know that it was in the hands of one person! Compared with before, Kong Yanling is a little more sinister than before! He has no sunny and handsome self-confidence as before! The four young masters of the Kong family have all suffered losses in Long Jiu's hands, so now, for the Kong family, the biggest enemy is the Long family where Long Jiu is!

"Hey--it would be the best if this is true! But the old man's attitude the day before yesterday must have made up his mind to die! I really don't know what he thought. No matter what method the remaining eight princes are arranged, it is not the turn of the ninth prince who is not qualified or old to inherit the position of crown prince! Unless the old man still wants to occupy the throne for more than ten years, and using the ninth prince as the crown prince is indeed the best choice! Hum--!"

After hearing his son's suggestion, Kong Guoxiong's eyes also had a horrifying look. He thought he knew the old emperor's thoughts, but the day before yesterday, he realized that he had underestimated the old emperor's wisdom and decision! Such methods really made everyone's plan go blank! However, he was unwilling to let the script be written by the old emperor! All the bets of the Kong family were pressed on this battle for the crown prince, and he could not accept the consequences of failure no matter what!

"Father, in your opinion, what should we do next? Your Majesty has decided to hold the new crown prince's ascendance ceremony in a month. If the ninth prince really ascends the throne to the throne and becomes the new crown prince and controls the imperial guards, if we want to act, we may..."

Although Kong Hao is the second son, his vicious mind is not worse than his elder brother. After losing one after another to Long Jiu and Ren Tiange, he is now eager to kill all the people related to the Long family one by one! The most urgent task is to not allow his family to have real power in their unsupported tasks!

"Hmph - you don't have to worry about this. You have already made complete preparations for your father! The old man's move did surprise me, but our Kong family has prepared plans for so many years, and it is impossible for him to lose his sudden decision! Finally, we waited until the reckless eldest prince seeks death. Now is the best time to get the third prince to the throne! No matter who it is, if you want to block our Kong family, you will be looking for death! Even if it is a prince, what can it be..."
