Chapter 6554

"The rules of the Chu royal family are very strange, aren't they?"

"Very weird indeed!"

Lin Bai did not expect that His Highness Prince Chen and the Third Prince, two political enemies, would one day stand on the same front.

And judging from the appearance of the third prince, I think he sincerely wants to help His Highness Prince Chen solve this trouble.

This is something that Lin Bai cannot understand at all.

As a political opponent, shouldn’t we do our best to put the opponent to death?

The third prince sighed softly: "The Chu dynasty is completely different from the mortal dynasty. Emperor Chu of the mortal dynasty is already the supreme power, but has Lord Lang ever thought about...what else is behind Emperor Chu?"

Lin Bai fell into deep thought and slowly remembered the details of Chu State.

The third prince smiled and said: "After all the Chu emperors left office, they would enter long periods of seclusion. There were Chu emperors who died in the barrier of life and death, but there were also Chu emperors who broke through the realm of cultivation and gained more longevity."

"After those Chu emperors broke through the realm of cultivation, they naturally could not come out to become Chu emperors again, so they would stay behind the scenes and become the ancestors of Chu country."

"So... Mr. Langhou, don't look at the fact that the Chu Emperor of Chu State today appears to have great glory, but in fact there are countless Chu Emperors supporting him behind the scenes. This is the ancestral camp of the Chu State royal family!"

Lin Bai seemed to understand, and nodded slowly.

The Chu State has been in existence for hundreds of thousands of years, and dozens of Chu emperors have been in charge of the Chu State.

After these Chu emperors stepped down, they would live in seclusion behind the scenes. Some people failed to break through and died with regret, but some succeeded in breaking through and became ancestors.

These Chu emperors are the real controllers of the huge Chu country, and they are the real high-level power in Chu country.

After all, those who can become the Emperor of Chu are already very rare, and those who can live in seclusion behind the scenes of the Chu Kingdom are even more powerful. The third prince continued: "The Chu State's seizure of heirs is something recognized by the Emperor of Chu and the ancestors. It is similar to the art of raising gu in the Worm Valley in southern Xinjiang. Several princes are carefully cultivated and let them kill each other. Decide the strongest one

A prince became the Emperor of Chu. "

"Only the prince who has gone through this cruel competition is worthy of becoming the Emperor of Chu."

When Lin Bai heard this, he was a little confused and asked, "What if all the princes died in the fight for the heir apparent?"

The third prince chuckled and said: "If all the princes die, then the ancestors will stand up and take control of the Chu Kingdom. They will not hide behind the scenes again until the next Chu Emperor ascends the throne."

Lin Bai still couldn't understand, so he asked: "Why bother doing this? Some princes are obviously good enough, why not protect them carefully." The third prince sighed bitterly and shook his head, and said: "It's not that Lord Lang doesn't understand the current demon world. In this situation, it is not enough for a prince to be excellent. He must also have a strategy, be decisive, have extraordinary foresight, and have ruthlessness and perseverance.

Human viciousness. "

"To be honest, I am the most suitable candidate for Emperor Chu, not His Highness King Chen."

"Just like back then, the person most suitable to be Emperor of Chu was Prince Liang, not my father!"

The third prince said truthfully, and Lin Bai suddenly became interested again.

The battle for the right to inherit the throne thousands of years ago was between the King of Liang and the current Emperor of Chu.

But I didn't expect that the third prince would say now... The person most suitable to be the Emperor of Chu back then was Prince Liang, not the current Emperor of Chu.

Lin Bai asked: "Then how did Prince Liang lose back then? How does Emperor Chu win today?"

"Hahahahaha..." The third prince laughed loudly when he heard this, his eyes filled with sadness and tears. He stared at Lin Bai and said, "The King of Liang back then was just like me today, with the same situation and the same experiences. "

Lin Bai didn't understand and looked at the third prince with a frown.

The third prince's laughter was mixed with sadness and tears. After a while, he regained his composure and said, "Because there is a talented assistant beside my father, who supported him all the way to the throne!"

"Guess who this Wang Zuozhi is?"

Lin Bai frowned in thought, and suddenly a person came to mind.

That man once accompanied him to the Heaven and Earth Gate to participate in the competition between Tianshui Sect and the Heaven and Earth Gate. He once sat in the White Deer chariot and chatted and laughed with Wang Qing. He once picked a peach blossom and gave it to Lin Bai.

That person is the current dean of White Deer Academy, laughing at the common people.

"It seems that Lord Lang has already guessed it." The third prince smiled bitterly: "That person is the current dean of White Deer Academy, laughing at the world."

"He was originally an orphan. He was taken into the palace by my emperor's grandfather and became my father's companion to study."

"The two of them grew up together, rode horses together, talked and laughed together, and even went to a brothel to spend the night together."

"But he is different from my father. He has outstanding talents. He was once one of the few geniuses in the Eastern Region of the Demon World. He once had no rivals in the Demon World."

The third prince sighed: "If Dean Xiao Cangsheng had not supported my father with great support, it would have been difficult for my father to ascend the throne." Lin Bai thought of Xiao Cangsheng's current situation and said, "But after Xiao Cangsheng supported Emperor Chu to ascend the throne, He seemed to be trapped in the imperial capital forever. Although becoming the dean of White Deer Academy seemed to be a great success, in fact it was nothing.

So own. "

The third prince replied: "Yes, Xiao Cangsheng cannot leave the Chu Kingdom easily."

He looked at Lin Bai again and said, "Just think that Chu State will not just watch you leave now."

Lin Bai felt a sense of sadness in his heart, and he couldn't help but think that Xiao Cangsheng's current ending might very well be his situation in the future.

Lin Bai suddenly remembered something again and asked, "Prince Liang seems to be obsessed with evil and is planning to go further?"

"Haha." The third prince sneered, "Maybe he really has this idea in his heart, but he absolutely dare not take action. At least he will not dare to act rashly until all the ancestors of the royal family are dead."

Lin Bai suddenly understood the current situation in Chu State. With the ancestors of the royal family planning behind the scenes, it seemed that the situation in Chu State was not as bad as it seemed on the surface.

King Liang wanted to be Emperor of Chu, but the ancestor of the royal family would definitely not be willing.

After all, the King of Liang was not the Emperor of Chu. Among the ancestors of the royal family of the Chu State, there was once the Chu Emperor of the Chu State.

Even if the current Chu Emperor of Chu State unexpectedly falls, it will not be the turn of King Liang to ascend to the throne.

If King Liang dared to use weapons, the ancestors of the royal family would not allow him to act arrogantly.

Lin Bai said: "But it is not impossible for King Liang to seize the throne, right? After all, as long as he is recognized and supported by the royal ancestors, he has hope of becoming the Emperor of Chu."

"That's right." The third prince answered truthfully: "With the current strength and status of Prince Liang's palace, they have already had all the ingredients to launch a rebellion. However, he has not dared to act rashly because he is waiting for an opportunity."

"This timing is not about the chaos in the Chu Kingdom, nor about the chaos in the Eastern Region of the Demon Realm, but..."

"The opportunity will not come until the ancestors of the Chu royal family have lost trust in the current Chu Emperor and the prince, right?" Lin Bai continued slowly after the third prince's words. In other words...as long as the ancestors of the royal family still have confidence in the current Emperor Chu and the prince, then King Liang will not dare to act recklessly even if he has heavy troops.
