He said that he loved his younger brother, but only remembered his own people at the critical moment, which of course meant the third prince.
When the first prince brought gold to redeem people, he was the only one on the bright side, but there were many people hiding in the water. They didn't see the situation at that time, but they heard the third prince's words.
At this time, seeing the third prince staring at the eldest prince with a gloomy face, the masters who heard the third prince's words couldn't help but have ideas in their hearts.
The three princes have a high prestige in the empire. They are courteous and corporal. They are personable, respectful to their elders, and friendly to their younger brothers. Not only the emperor likes him, but many ministers are also very optimistic about him.
The imperial experts appointed by the emperor this time came because they were optimistic about the third prince, but they did not want the third prince to let them down again and again.
If the third prince did not rescue people, but was kidnapped by bandits because the third prince was inexperienced and underestimated the enemy, then the performance of the redemption today is selfish.
They are not afraid of death, and dying to protect the master is what they should do, but every time they encounter danger, they are pushed out by the master to sacrifice, but they cannot accept it.
They are not afraid of the lack of ability of their masters, anyway, it is good to have their capable subordinates, but they are afraid that their masters are hypocritical and selfish.
Obviously, the third prince is such a person.
The masters who came with the third prince could no longer follow the third prince, so as soon as the third prince came in, these people retreated tacitly, stood beside the first prince, and silently stated their position.
The black armor guards were the emperor's personal guards. They never favored anyone. The master who accompanied the army was obviously the third prince, but at this time he was standing beside the eldest prince. It didn't need to be explained, everyone present understood.
It's just that everyone is a human being, and even if they understand what's going on, they won't say it in public.
The navy commander who escorted Xiao Tianyao and Lin Chujiu to the boat saw this scene. He had already thought about it, and he didn't talk too much. After salute the first prince, he withdrew.
Of course, he did not forget to take away the masters who surrounded the eldest prince. Even if he understood some things in his heart, he still had to ask some questions. Asking one more question is better than making a smart and wrong decision.
As soon as the people left, the room was much empty, and the first prince was a little more casual. After letting Xiao Tianyao and Lin Chujiu sit down, he pulled the seventh prince to his side, asked him if he needed anything, and comforted him by the way. soul.
Although the seventh prince does not get close to the first prince, he does not reject the first prince. He will answer whatever the first prince asks. The two brothers are happy to watch, but...
This peace of mind stabbed the third prince in the eye.
The third prince knows that he can no longer win over the seventh prince, and he will not follow the line of his younger brother now, and now he wants to seize power.
Seeing that the eldest prince was chattering, the third prince interrupted him politely: "Brother, these people were handed over to me by the emperor, and I am their commander-in-chief. You are in the wrong position."
The eldest prince froze holding the seventh prince's hand, but he quickly returned to normal. He looked up at the third prince standing in front of him, and asked in a deep voice, "Third brother, what do you want?"
"I don't want to do anything, just remind the big brother to pay attention to his identity. Don't be arrogant. Your mission is to bring gold to redeem people. It's my job to kill the bandits." He must bring a credit back to Beijing, otherwise he will never be able to turn over.
"Third brother, I am under the order of the royal father to take over everyone and everything here." The eldest prince would not give in easily.
The third prince said that he would abdicate, wouldn't it seem that he was a coward. However, in order to show his love for his younger brother, he didn't mind giving the third prince another chance.
"My father asked you to take over the 100,000 sailors because I wasn't here. Now that I'm back, of course I don't need you." The third prince took out a scroll of imperial edict: "Brother, I have the imperial edict of the father."
This imperial decree was given to him by His Majesty the Empire before the Third Prince set off. It was originally to help him maintain his prestige in the army so that he could convince the public, but now it was used by the Third Prince to seize power.
"In that case, I will bring the seventh younger brother back to Beijing tomorrow, what will the third younger brother think?" The eldest prince pulled the seventh prince to stand up, his expression was calm, and there was no trace of anger.
In the eyes of outsiders, the eldest prince is arrogant, but Xiao Tianyao and Lin Chujiu understand that the eldest prince is digging a hole for the third prince to jump in.
The bandits will definitely not be caught. The third prince is willing to take over this mess, and it is too late for the eldest prince to be happy.
"In this case, I will not give it away, eldest brother, please..." The third prince not only wanted to seize the military power of the eldest prince, but even the residence of the eldest prince.
No way, this room of the first prince is the largest room in the whole ship. It has a council room, a small study, and a bedroom. Living in this room means that you are the highest commander in the army. How could the third prince let the first prince? Stay, even for one night.
"I hope you can successfully find the bandits, third brother." Although the eldest prince was angry, he did not tear his face with the third prince, and turned sideways to make way for the third prince.
He temporarily made the third prince proud for two more days.
"Of course I will." The third prince said confidently.
Of course he knew that the bandits were hard to find, but he couldn't do anything now. After he has seized the military power, he still has a trace of rushing. If he finds a bandit, he will turn over, but if he does not seize the military power, he will return to Beijing as a loser and become a green leaf to set off the eldest prince. This is something he cannot accept. .
He has fallen to this point, and he can only do his best.
The eldest prince sneered and took the seventh prince out. Xiao Tianyao and Lin Chujiu looked at each other: Unexpectedly, they would also have a day as a background for others.
Without saying goodbye, without speaking to the third prince, the two also went out.
The eldest prince didn't say anything after he went out. He only had someone arrange a boat to send them back to the capital tomorrow, but the eldest prince didn't need to say anything. Just seeing the eldest prince was driven out of his residence and forced to return to the capital, the people on the boat knew what had happened. what's up.
The third prince is crossing the river and demolishing the bridge.
It's just that this is a struggle between the princes of the empire. The first prince has given in. Apart from taking care of the first prince as much as possible, what else can they do
The eldest prince didn't know that he cheated the third prince and still had such a good effect. Although it was not obvious on the face, he was very happy in his heart.
Xiao Tianyao and Lin Chujiu, who had been ignored by the people of the empire, were like bystanders, watching everything that happened on the boat.
At night, when there were only two of them, Lin Chujiu nestled in Xiao Tianyao's arms and whispered, "It seems that the future of the eldest prince is limitless."
The eldest prince is stupid, but as long as he puts his stupidity in the right place, he is loyal and sincere. Such qualities can make his subordinates work for him.
"Now, he has a 50% chance." Originally, Xiao Tianyao was not optimistic about the eldest prince. Compared with other princes in the empire, the eldest prince had no advantage.
But now, the eldest prince has turned his disadvantage into an advantage, and there is a possibility of competition.
"The eldest prince is good enough, and our days in the empire will not be sad anymore." Lin Chujiu yawned, moved her body, and adjusted to a more comfortable position.
Xiao Tianyao didn't speak, and looked at Lin Chujiu with fiery eyes, his eyes seemed to be swallowing Lin Chujiu, but...
Before Xiao Tianyao could move, Lin Chujiu let out a steady breathing sound.
Apparently the girl fell asleep...
