The old emperor's light words were like a pebble that stirred up thousands of waves!
Who is the fourteenth son of Emperor Armin Kazalnia? It is the demon prince Azad who made the nobles of the empire frightened, a prince who was deprived of his inheritance rights and his surname.
Now the old emperor actually said that as long as the crown prince violated the red line he had drawn, even if only Azad was left as a natural disaster, he would hand over the crown prince's position to him and depose the current eldest son. This kind of disregard for the royal succession
The attitude of being like nothing is simply challenging the nerves of all nobles.
Rather than the ministers trying their best to prevent the 'natural disaster' from ascending to power, the crown prince who was threatened to be replaced was even more excited. Even if Nawaf didn't break down emotionally, he looked like he wanted to yell but didn't dare.
Said: "Father, Azad, why should he replace me? He has been deprived of his inheritance rights. You said it yourself."
"Even if he is deprived of the right to inherit, the Fourteenth wants to sit on this seat," Emperor Armin patted the armrest of his throne with a proud look on his face, "-Does any of you have any way to stop it?" The old emperor not only looked at it.
Looking at the crown prince, he also glanced at the ministers below.
One minister groaned and said, "Can a person who doesn't distinguish between right and wrong, good and evil, be able to be an emperor?"
"Distinguish between right and wrong, good and evil?" The old emperor's temperament suddenly changed. He was no longer gentle and harmless, but had the majesty of Ni Cangsheng. He said: "Sitting in this position, do you need those things? I live in my country.
When you are in a high position, can there be any talk of right and wrong? Dear minister, I rely on you, have you really forgotten how you climbed to your current position? Don't try to use the kind of words that you don't believe in and can't do.
I use my innocence to constrain the behavior of an emperor. Because I am at the top of power, I can see things more clearly than you."
Although the words were slow and the voice was deep, they carried invisible pressure, which made all the powerful nobles lower their heads. The emperor of one of the five great empires of Midi, a member of the pinnacle of power in the world, at this moment
, Fang showed his true face.
Emperor Armin looked at the Crown Prince who was shocked to the point of losing his composure with the same gaze, and said: "My dear Yu, do you think it is this throne and this crown that gave me the title of Emperor, and allowed me to stand on the throne?"
The pinnacle of power? If you really think so, it is Yu Zhi's fault. Remember! It is because Yu is at the pinnacle of power that many foolish men and women offered this throne and crown to
The honorable title of the emperor. You have this strength and value, and you are worthy of enjoying all this. It is not just a pig or a monkey sitting on this throne with a crown on your head, and the people will call you honorable."
Speaking of this, the old emperor's momentum suddenly disappeared, allowing everyone to be relieved from the pressure. But he showed a lonely expression and said helplessly: "Speaking of which, your dear brother, the fourteenth son, has just passed away.
He is the most suitable successor. Unfortunately, even I can'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 relationship between this? So, cherish it
Now I give you the status."
The old emperor didn't even notice that he even changed the words in his emotion. This shows the depth of his resentment, which even as an emperor he could not calm down.
But he finally remembered to return his attention to the son in front of him and said: "But you don't need to belittle yourself. Not everyone can take the path of Nawaf. The fourteenth man. But you should understand that when you have power,
Controlling power and being controlled by concentrated power are two completely different things. You should try your best to be the former, rather than being the latter and being deceived into thinking that you control everything, but in fact you are not. This is what I
The path of waiting for mortals is different from that of Old Fourteen."
"Father." Crown Prince Nawaf asked bitterly: "In your mind, can my fourteenth brother succeed to the throne and do better than me?"
"If we really let him inherit the throne, it will probably make the empire a mess." The old emperor said with a smile.
"Then why do you like him?"
"He is not good at running a country, but he is good at shutting up people. If it is just like this, it will really not help in running a country. But after all, it is not a matter of one person, but must be done by many people working together. So it is very difficult.
Here comes the interesting point. Old Fourteen has absolutely no patience to take care of the chores of a country, big or small, even if he just participates in discussions, so the actual responsibilities will fall in the hands of ministers. And with his unpredictable personality, he is sometimes flattering.
Will please him, sometimes flattery will only be exchanged for a sword, and this change cycle may only be an afternoon, or it may be several days. In short, no one knows what the old fourteen will do at the next moment, so those who cherish life
, people who are greedy for life and afraid of death will naturally seek good fortune and avoid misfortune, and dare not appear where he can see it."
Having said this, the old emperor glanced at the ministers below. They all shrank their heads like quails, for fear that the emperor would throw him to the side of the fourteenth prince to assist him in his government affairs. This is not the kind of person who accompanies the emperor like a tiger.
It's just a level thing. It's just like putting your head on the guillotine, just waiting for that person to be in a good or bad mood, and then give it a casual blow!
"In this way, a very interesting strange circle appears. The ministers who will stay in the court are likely to be the only ones who understand that things must be done and dare to make a decisive decision and come forward. And these stubborn ones
Some elements will die, and maybe some will be ignored by the Fourteenth and survive to push the empire's political affairs forward. Such people may not necessarily be talented, but at least they will be bad even if they mess up.
But those greedy villains who only think about their own interests, so they ignore the interests of the empire, and even harm them in turn. So it is surprising that in the possible future situations I speculated, the less the Fourteenth wants to care about this country, the more people this country has
It may get better. There will be no intrigues and partisanship among the ministers, because just dealing with the unpredictable emperor may exhaust their enthusiasm for fighting."
After talking about his vision for the future, the old emperor looked back at his eldest son and said: "If the person sitting in this position were you, you might be able to surpass my achievements, but that's it. However, as an emperor
, as long as you make one wrong step, it is very likely that your life-long efforts will be wasted. Take this as a lesson, you cannot control two vicious dogs at home and make them bite each other. It is conceivable that one of the two dogs will die. This can be said to be
It will be a stain on the rest of my life." After saying that, he sighed softly.
Seeing that his eldest son still looked depressed, the old emperor recovered his mood first, smiled and said: "My dear Yu, don't forget what I just said, there is a very important premise.
That means you have violated my request. As long as you do not involve the empire in the dispute between the two grand dukes, and at the same time do not let the people below to do their own thing, making the country possible to fall into a storm, then those things you are afraid of
, will not happen. Neither the position of the Crown Prince nor the responsibility of you to succeed the Emperor in the future can be escaped. So, do your best, gentlemen."
