Snapped!
To the east of the palace, the Second Prince's Mansion.
As soon as Wu Zhao returned to the mansion, his face immediately darkened.
With a wave of his hand, a valuable sandalwood chair next to the table instantly turned into powder.
"My good brother, I really underestimate you!"
Wu Zhao looked towards the direction of the palace where Wu Sifan was, gritted his teeth and said, "I usually don't show off my appearance, but I never thought that after my father's death, he would pass the throne to you!"
Behind him, a guard in armor stepped forward and whispered: "Your Highness, there may be something fishy about this matter..."
Wu Zhao frowned, looked at the guard, and said, "What's so strange?"
The guard said: "Your Majesty has cultivated a profound knowledge, but he has not yet reached the stage of transcending the tribulation. It is almost impossible for him to become obsessed with evil. I will eventually suspect that there is another hidden reason behind this matter!"
Wu Zhao frowned and said: "It is common for inner demons to appear during practice. Besides, this matter comes from Eunuch Wei's mouth, how can it be false?"
The guard shook his head and looked confused: "This is also what the general is puzzled about. Eunuch Wei has served the king for hundreds of years and is loyal to the king. It is almost impossible for him to falsely pass on the imperial edict. However, the general always feels that the sudden death of the king is a bit strange.
Something’s wrong…”
"Now is not the time to discuss these matters!"
Wu Zhao's eyes were cold and he waved his hand to interrupt: "My father is dead, and the situation in the dynasty will surely be turbulent in the future, but the most important thing is to find a way to prevent the eldest prince from ascending the throne!"
"Although I don't know why my father passed the throne to him, this throne must not fall into his hands!"
The guard's eyes flashed and he said: "What do you mean, Your Highness?"
Wu Zhao narrowed his eyes slightly: "Three days later will be the day of government. Since my father directly named him the prince and exempted him from the crowning ceremony, he must have wanted him to ascend the throne as soon as possible to avoid other changes, so he is very likely to
He will ascend the throne in three days..."
"That is to say, we only have three days at most!"
As he said that, Wu Zhao's eyes flashed coldly, and he said with a gloomy look: "Find a way to kill him within these three days!"
The guard nodded, then frowned slightly and said: "Since the king is passed down to him, he must have considered his safety. During this period, Eunuch Wei must have been by his side to protect him and want to get rid of the eldest prince.
We must deal with Eunuch Wei first!"
Wu Zhao sneered and said: "He is not the only one in the Hedao realm in this Great Wu Dynasty!"
After saying that, he turned to look at the guard and said: "You go to Nanyang immediately, inform my queen mother about this, and ask her to invite grandpa here. You must arrive within these three days!"
The guard frowned, hesitated, and said: "Although Mr. Hou has cultivated a profound knowledge, he is still in the late stage of returning to the virtual realm after all..."
Wu Zhao waved his hand and said: "A few days ago, my grandpa has survived the Hedao tribulation and successfully broke through the Hedao realm. After my mother learned about this, she rushed back to Nanyang to congratulate my grandpa!"
The guard was shocked and said with great joy: "Master Hou has made a breakthrough?!"
Wu Zhao nodded and sneered: "As long as we hold Eunuch Wei back and deal with Wu Sifan, I will see who can compete with me for the position of King Wu!"
Among the seven sons of King Wu, he is the only one who has broken through to the Nascent Soul Realm at the moment, while the other princes are basically lingering in the Golden Core Realm.
In terms of cultivation and qualifications, he is not afraid of anyone!
In terms of power, behind him is the top ten masters of the Dawu Dynasty, Nanyang Hou.
Now he has broken through the Hedao realm and became the eighth strong man in the Dawu Dynasty to reach the Hedao realm!
Coupled with his operations over the years, many ministers were secretly attracted by him and came to his side.
The biggest obstacle at the moment is Wu Sifan, the eldest prince who was succeeded by King Wu.
As long as Wu Sifan dies, he will be the legitimate heir to the throne!
Wu Zhao turned around and looked towards the eldest prince's palace, his eyes flashing with piercing murderous intent.
"My good brother, although I don't know why my father would pass the throne to a loser like you, but since my father has chosen you, don't blame me for being cruel..."
…
"Your Highness, the King suddenly passed away and passed the throne to the Prince before he died. This matter is not good for Your Highness. We can't wait any longer!"
To the west of the palace, the Fifth Prince's Mansion.
A middle-aged man wearing a blue brocade robe frowned at Wu Zun and said.
The fifth prince, Wu Zun, is the person with the highest qualifications and cultivation level except the second prince.
It has now reached the late stage of Jindan.
There is only one step left to turn the elixir into an infant and break through to the Nascent Soul realm!
Originally, he was the most popular among the seven princes, except for the second prince, and the one most likely to become the prince and inherit the throne.
Unexpectedly, King Wu died suddenly, but before his death, he passed the throne to the eldest prince Wu Sifan.
Now, the eldest prince, who usually has the least sense of threat, has become his biggest obstacle!
Wu Zun's face was cold, and he stood quietly by the window, staring in the direction of the palace where the eldest prince was, without saying a word.
After a long time, he slowly said: "I am not the only one who is anxious at the moment. Let my brothers, please let me test it out first!"
The middle-aged man looked anxious and said: "But if we let the second or third prince take the lead, it will be too late for us to take action. Now the third prince has led people to Xuanqing Palace. If the eldest prince gives up the throne to the third prince in order to survive,
…”
Wu Zun sneered and waved his hand to interrupt: "How could he give up this throne just because he said so?"
"From the moment his father passed the throne to him, his end was destined!"
"Unless he dies, no one can touch this throne!"
"As for my three brothers..."
There was a trace of disdain on Wu Zun's lips, "He'd better not do such a mindless act, otherwise, I'm afraid that before anything happens to Wu Sifan, he will go down to accompany the late king!"
After saying that, he turned to look at the middle-aged man in blue robe and said, "I'm going to go to my mother's place. You can find out what's going on with the officials for me!"
"Your Highness wants to..."
The blue-robed middle-aged man was shocked and stared at Wu Zun closely.
Wu Zun nodded and said: "The most important thing at the moment is to prevent Wu Sifan from ascending the throne. I'm afraid my second brother has already started to make plans. Although I am not in a hurry, I cannot be unprepared!"
"I will ask my mother to go to Lanyue Gate for help. You pay attention to the movements of the officials to see which forces have begun to take sides, and try to win over those who can!"

Wu Zun nodded, then turned and walked out.
…
In the north of the royal city, the Prime Minister's Mansion.
"Your Majesty, Prime Minister, now that His Majesty has passed away, he has passed the throne to the eldest prince. I don't know whether this is true or not."
"But if this matter is true, then this is our best chance to put the third prince on the throne!"
In addition to Prime Minister Wang Qingping, many officials headed by the Prime Minister also gathered in the mansion.
At this time, everyone looked excited and made plans one after another, preparing to take this opportunity to push the third prince Wu Xuan to the throne.
Because the third prince’s mother, the princess, is the youngest daughter of Prime Minister Wang Qingping.
Of course, the reason why Wang Qingping became the Prime Minister of Great Wu was because of his real talents and learning, and it was not all due to the relationship between the third prince and his mother.
But if this relationship exists, if they don’t support the third prince, who else will they support?
Although the third prince Wu Xuan has a somewhat naughty temperament, his aptitude is excellent and he has already condensed the golden elixir.
Coupled with the support of officials from their prime minister's lineage, the chance of successfully ascending to the throne is still very high.
King Wu had not established a prince before, so they could only fight secretly to accumulate power.
But now that King Wu has passed away, their opportunity has come.
As long as they seize the opportunity, work well, and let the third prince successfully ascend the throne, then they will become ministers of the dragon and enjoy endless glory and wealth!
How does this not excite them?!
As for the eldest prince Wu Sifan who was appointed as the heir by King Wu's decree, they did not take him seriously at all!
A waste who has not yet established a foundation and has no support from any force behind him, how does he qualify to become the King of Martial Arts?
From the moment I heard King Wu’s last edict.
In their hearts, Wu Sifan is already a dead person!
