Cheng Zheng continued to ask.

"In that case, I'm afraid Your Majesty will be restless..."

Chen An continued.

Yes, if even the eldest prince is overthrown by the second prince, then the power of the second prince will expand to a level that makes anyone afraid.

When the time comes, as the emperor, who will not be afraid or fearful?

In fact, even before meeting the second prince, based on the situation in front of him, Chen An felt that the possibility of the second prince successfully succeeding to the throne was very small.

The history he learned in his previous life told him that princes who win over powerful people when the emperor is still strong and have too much power often end badly in the end.

This will be especially true if he is not the legitimate heir and there is an eldest brother (prince) in front of him.

There are generally only two final outcomes for such people.

Either they were suppressed and finally ended in prosperity and weakened, or they directly fought back and used force to push back the emperor.

There are many examples of the former, and the most famous one of the latter is naturally Li Shimin.

But the problem is that apart from Li Shimin, it seems that few people have accomplished this, right?

The probability is too small and too difficult.

So Chen An never thought about supporting the second prince to ascend to power.

Even if he really took refuge with the second prince, he would at most just try to get the skills from him.

Once you get the technique, you can just run away and don’t care what happens next.

But when it comes to the third prince, Chen An feels that his chances are much greater than that of the second prince.

This is completely different from what others around me think.

"Although His Highness's mother's family is not strong and he is not the eldest son, he is better at hiding."

Chen An said: "Both the second prince and the eldest prince regard each other as enemies, but they rarely regard you, the third prince, as an opponent."

"This is your advantage, Third Prince. You can develop slowly without being targeted by others."

"That's the first point."

"What else?"

Cheng Zheng asked quickly.

"The second point is, of course, His Majesty's trust."

Chen An smiled and said: "Among the three elder princes, your Highness has the smallest power and poses the smallest threat to His Majesty."

"Among the three princes, I believe that the one whom Your Majesty trusts the most is you."

"And as long as His Majesty trusts you, everything will be possible."

In this world, warriors are the most powerful force.

And when it comes to the masters under his command, who can beat today's emperor?

Not to mention that the second prince has a large number of Gangqi Dukes who support him, and he seems to be quite powerful.

But how will these people compare with the power controlled by the emperor?

I'm afraid it's still far from enough.

The emperor holds the greatest power, which is the decisive factor.

Therefore, as long as you can gain the emperor's trust, it is equivalent to gaining the support of the most powerful force.

"Your Highness is the eldest son, but his biological mother died young and has a cruel temper. He has never been liked by others."

"Although he has been supported by many people over the years, he has not been canonized as a prince. This is proof."

"Needless to say, His Majesty, the Second Highness, is trying to win over the Duke. His mother's clan is strong and there are many supporters behind him. Sooner or later, His Majesty will be taboo on him."

"His Majesty has not canonized the eldest prince as the crown prince until now, but has always supported the eldest prince. Mostly to make the eldest prince and the second prince compete with each other to avoid imbalance."

Chen An spoke slowly.

After lurking in Dahua for so many years, he has done a lot of homework and naturally has his own opinions on the situation.
