The two princes died together, which caused an uproar among the noble bureaucracy of the Kingdom of Macaton! (Due to the news blockade, the news has not yet spread to the ordinary people.)
A question popped up in everyone's mind at the same time - what to do with the throne?
The four princes of the kingdom are also eager to seize the opportunity to seize the throne.
But what they did was unfair and unjust.
According to the kingdom's inheritance law, if the eldest prince and the second prince die one after another, the throne should be inherited by the third prince.
And he can only inherit it. Apart from the third prince, the old king has no other children.
But now comes the problem - they are not familiar with this third prince.
The third prince has never had any ambitions. He often likes to travel to other countries alone. He never gets involved in politics and never makes friends with any dignitaries. Therefore, the dignitaries are very unfamiliar with him and only regard him as a vase.
But now that this third prince is used, people realize how important he is.
"Where is the third prince?"
"Where is the Third Prince?"
"Quick, we must find the third prince! Before all the nobles do!"
All the nobles in the royal capital went crazy and were frantically looking for the third prince.
The four princes, in particular, had all sorts of little plans in mind.
Some princes feel that they should control the third prince and make him their puppet;
Some princes also think that the third prince should "commit suicide" so that they can legitimately compete for the throne;
Some princes believe that they should first support the third prince to ascend to power, and then use a series of scandals as a public opinion offensive to force him to step down.
But no matter what they think, the first thing to do is of course to find the third prince.
So people from all walks of life searched frantically in the city.
…
Senior Zhu who was in the underground spiritual spring didn't know about this, but the waiter who staggered over told him.
Seeing the waiter's flushed face with excitement and the corners of his mouth that were so happy that he didn't know where to go, he fell into deep thought.
According to Senior Zhu's previous plan, he should return to Blue Star two days later before the space tunnel is closed and destroy all evidence that exists here.
For example, the third prince's body that was stolen would "absorb too much spiritual energy and explode and die after two days."
But now, another choice is before him - should he continue to pretend to be the third prince and inherit the country?
This is really a difficult choice!
Senior Zhu carefully weighed the pros and cons in his mind.
There are certainly many benefits to choosing to inherit this kingdom.
for example:
First, he will be able to continue to absorb spiritual energy and restore his strength without scruples in the future, and the entire country’s resources will be his!
Second, if he can completely control this country, the probability of Blue Star humans winning will be greatly increased after the war begins!
At that time, he can hinder, hold back, and backstab the Skrull coalition government. The Skrull coalition government will be attacked from both sides, and the pressure on Blue Star to fight head-on will of course weaken.
Third, taking a step back, if Blue Star humanity is really destroyed in the war, after taking control of this country, he can find a way to save a trace of fire for humanity so that Blue Star humanity will not become extinct.
The above are the three biggest advantages, and they all look very beautiful.
However, the shortcomings of this are also very fatal.
First of all, during the period when the space tunnel is closed, he cannot use the talisman to return to Blue Star. Once his true identity is discovered, he will die without a burial place.
Secondly, even if he is not discovered, his personal safety cannot be said to be 100% safe.
He will go through a series of cruel political struggles in the Kingdom of Macadon, and the road to the top of power will surely be paved with the corpses of his enemies.
Especially since there are three seventh-level powerful men in the country, their support must be obtained, otherwise the royal power will not be so stable.
Finally, it is not easy to stumble G2! The size of the Makaton Kingdom is still too small.
…
The pros and cons have been weighed clearly, and now there is only one last question left before him - do you want to stay?
After some careful thinking, Senior Zhu finally made a decision - stay!
It would be a shame to waste such a good opportunity.
And he couldn't help but think of some past events, which were from the first few decades of his life.
In the first few decades of his life, he went from being a beggar to becoming the emperor of the Ming Empire. He experienced more ups and downs than the founding emperors of the previous dynasties.
When he joined the army, he joined Guo Zixing's army, and later became Guo Zixing's son-in-law because of his bravery in combat.
Guo Zixing's son Guo Tianxu was killed by the enemy on the battlefield, and then his son-in-law was qualified to take over Guo Zixing's power and eventually dominate the world.
This moment is exactly like that moment.
The third prince he controlled was just like him before. The first heir died in battle before he had the opportunity to ascend to the throne. Why not take advantage of this?
And Senior Zhu vaguely felt that this might be the breakthrough for the Blue Stars to defeat the Skrulls!
So he solemnly said to the waiter: "White, go and inform those powerful people that I have decided to come out and become their king!"
…
The third prince of Makaton came to power and attracted the attention of all major forces around the world.
Of course, these are basically all ulterior motives.
On the surface, the powerful forces that flatter him and win over him are like crucian carp crossing the river;
Secretly, assassinations and attempts to control him continued.
At that time, Senior Zhu's strength had returned to the mid-sixth level, and assassination and control had no effect on him.
As soon as he came to power, he showed his sophisticated political skills to balance the major forces at home and abroad. He only spoke half the words, neither making promises nor outright rejections.
In the first month after he came to power, the old king was still breathing, and no one at home or abroad dared to touch him openly.
The major forces at home and abroad were surprised to find that the third prince, who they had always thought was unlearned and unskilled, was not a cheap man. He was extremely skilled at political manipulation and his brain was even clearer than his two brothers. He was a difficult person to deal with.
host!
And things are far from over here.
A month later, the old king passed away, and the "Third Prince" officially ascended the throne as the new king, named Macadon III.
In this month, he has completely established himself, stabilized his throne, and cultivated a group of trustworthy cronies.
Moreover, during this month, he had abundant and inexhaustible psychic energy, which was not only enough for his daily practice, but the extra psychic energy could even be used by him to win over a large number of people.
After continuously devouring spiritual energy and quickly recovering, Senior Zhu's strength has returned to the peak of the sixth level, and is one step away from the seventh level.
The strength of the sixth-level peak was already terrifying in the small country of Makaton. Apart from three seventh-level beings, he had no rivals. The assassins and assassins sent by the prince were even more intimidating to him.
Now, Senior Zhu feels that the time has come and he is going to sound the clarion call for counterattack!
