"You are not as ruthless as your eldest brother, nor as cunning and vicious as your second brother. As for the prince, to be honest, even I can't see through this person. Your fourth brother is about the same as you. Although he is steady and aware of current affairs,
People who sit on the throne, especially in troubled times, are either ruthless enough or have enough means and courage. You are a good boy, but the current world situation forces this throne to be unsuitable for you." An Jing
Cheng Yu said earnestly: "I am telling you this today not to tell you what your shortcomings are. I just want to tell you the facts so that you can make plans for the next step."
"I understand." Huangfu Xing is not a person who can't bear it. He has long known that he has no chance of becoming the emperor. He once thought that his uncle was unwilling to help him because he was loyal to the emperor. Now he realizes that it is not that he does not want to help him, but that he is unwilling to help him.
She has been protecting him.
The world is in chaos, and it is impossible for my uncle, the great general who governs the country, to live in the capital. By then, if he really succeeds to the throne, he will not be able to control the situation in the capital.
Troubled internally and externally, the empire was in danger.
After thinking about it, Huangfu Xing stopped worrying about this. It was his own lack of ability and he couldn't blame others.
Without the ideological baggage, he may seriously do what he wants to do in the future, which is also a good thing.
"Is uncle planning to support third brother?" Huangfu Xing thought for a moment, and from his uncle's standpoint, wanting to protect the person he wanted to protect, the best choice now should be the prince, third brother.
An Jingcheng smiled: "I support the Crown Princess."
"What?" Huangfu Xing was shocked: "Uncle, this..."
Support the Crown Princess? This, isn’t this too scary?
"You also know that the prince's health is not certain after all. If I guess correctly, he went to Beiguan this time to pave the way for his child. The prince will never do anything he is not sure about.
, he had been silent and forbearing for so many years before, and did not break up with the emperor. He would do this now because of his own considerations. Unless there is a miracle, the person who succeeds should be the prince's child." An Jingcheng
After all, since he has held military power for many years, the prince will start from the Beiguan war, so his purpose is not just as simple as pacifying Beiguan.
He received news that the commander of Beiguan has been replaced by his former subordinate Zhao Fan. Based on his understanding of Zhao Fan, if someone is willing to give him a chance, it will definitely not be a problem to maintain the peace of Beiguan for more than ten years.
And Zhao Fan has waited for so many years and finally was activated today. He will definitely repay the prince for this kindness and guard Beiguan for him.
There is probably only one reason why the prince would do this, and that is because his body may not be able to hold on for too long, so he has to pave the way for the future.
In the battle of Echo Valley in Beiguan, 30,000 soldiers of Northern Mongolia were burned. To be honest, even he may not be able to match such means and courage. If the prince can live a few more years, why worry about the uncertainty of the world?
Or, if the prince had taken over the power of the empire more than ten years ago, the empire would never have been in the current situation.
God is jealous of the genius!
An Jingcheng sighed: "The prince is a smart man, but it is a pity. I have promised Xi'er that her child will succeed to the throne and she will be the regent. Although Xi'er is not a man, she is more courageous than ordinary men.
