About the ascension of the throne...

King Rui pursed his lips slightly, his eyes closed and his eyes were silent for a long time before he said, "Chu Qi, if his father was still awake, the candidate for the throne he wanted would not be this king."

"The prince doesn't look like a self-deprecating person, how could he have such an idea?" Chu Qi said, "Many things cannot be just looking at the surface. The prince is also the emperor's son. The emperor has his plans to do things, and it is also possible that he just wants to polish the prince."

Grinding?

Ye Hao shook his head and said nothing, but he knew very well that the emperor's alienation towards him did not mean any tempering, but that he really didn't like or even disliked him, his eldest son.

That feeling is not something you can tell clearly in a few words, but one’s own personal feelings.

Words can deceive others, but your own feelings are real.

"The prince's mother's concubine has passed away. The prince and King Jin have no support from the mother tribe in the court. His Highness Jin is still favored by the emperor, but the prince has nothing." Chu Qi put down the chess piece in his hand and raised his eyes to calmly state the facts. "So when the three kings fought for the crown prince in the past, everyone thought that in the future, the candidate for the crown prince would definitely be among the three kings Ling, Xuan and Zhuang."

But what is the truth?

The emperor fell for only a few days, and the court had undergone tremendous changes one after another. The three kings died and the ones who were imprisoned were only imprisoned.

"If the emperor had included the prince in the list of crown princes early, the prince would probably not have lived so peacefully over the years."

Ye Hao was stunned, his eyebrows slowly frowned, and he said thoughtfully: "What you mean is that the father is deliberately alienating me. In addition, I have no support from the mother clan, so I will naturally be excluded from the crown prince. Then I can focus on the military camp, handle the government, show my abilities, and accumulate connections for myself..."

His tone paused slightly, and his voice was obviously picking a little, with obvious mockery, "So it can also be said that the father is protecting me in disguise?"

Although these words were said word by word from him, neither Ye Hao nor Chu Qi actually believed them.

"No matter whether this is true or not, the prince can be regarded as true." Chu Qi said, "The emperor is indeed polishing and protecting the prince. The next emperor heir in his heart is you, the eldest son, and no one can question it."

"But there are many people who are questioning the civil and military officials in the court." Ye Hao said, "Because I don't believe it myself, how could anyone else believe it?"

"Not everyone needs to believe it, as long as most people believe it." Chu Qi said, "King Jin must be the first to believe it, and Duke Zhenguo believes it. Even if the Prime Minister doesn't believe it, he will only choose to believe it after seeing the evidence."

"Evidence?" Ye Hao frowned, "What evidence?"

Chu Qitan said: "I don't know, the prince doesn't care about so many things. As long as most of the civil and military people in the court support the prince, after the imperial physician is determined to be helpless in the emperor's condition, the prince will have enough reason to ascend the throne."

Ye Hao's eyes were slightly sank, and he always felt something was wrong in his heart. The recent incidents all showed abnormalities.
