Wanting to ascend the throne and become emperor, Su Leng entered the game and joined the Thirteenth Prince, the concubine prince who was least loved by the old emperor. According to normal development, he had basically no chance of being crowned emperor.

To establish a direct descendant is not to establish an elder, and to establish an elder is not to establish a concubine.

Even if the seven princes, including the prince, are dead now, the throne has nothing to do with Su Ling.

There are still many existing aboriginal princes, whether they are direct princes or concubine princes who are older than him.

Moreover, these aboriginal princes are not all mediocre.

The smiling tiger-like sixth prince, and the fourteenth prince who keeps a low profile, are both ambitious and covet the throne.

Especially the fourteenth prince among them, who holds the handwriting of the late emperor and has close contacts with a general who controls military power on the border, is able to hold his temper and remain dormant.

It's like holding a king bomb in your hand, seeing your opponent getting closer and closer to victory, but still keeping calm and not taking action rashly.

This dormant ability alone is beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Therefore, despite the fact that all the player princes have been eliminated by Su Leng, in fact, he still has no chance to take the throne.

What's more, his act of beheading the player who devoted himself to the Ninth Prince also aroused the old emperor's extreme disgust.

Unless he is the only heir left, there is no other choice. If there are two heirs, the old emperor probably will not pass the throne to him.

This is still normal.

And now, the princes are dying one after another, and seven of them died at once on this day.

If they die one by one in the future and he is the only one left, the old emperor will probably think that he is the murderer even if there is no evidence.

This is not a modern society where everything depends on evidence, but a feudal dynasty where the emperor speaks his mind. As long as the emperor has doubts, the crime has been established.

Therefore, this seemingly feasible method of killing all the princes is actually not feasible.

In this case, there is only one way.

That is, get rid of the old emperor!

Of course, this method also needs to be carefully considered, and it is not just about killing the old emperor.

In this world without fantasy elements, it would be too easy for Su Leng, who has the ability of [self-knowledge], to get rid of the old emperor.

But, what happens after it’s removed?

After the old emperor died, according to the etiquette and rules of royal succession, it was not his turn to sit on the throne.

Are you going to follow the same pattern and get rid of other princes?

He can do this, but if he really does it, he will be left with only one bare commander, and he will not be able to support the entire royal family.

When the time comes, the ambitious people below will take advantage of the successive deaths of the Zhou royal family to make a fuss, incite the people, and then take the opportunity to rebel!

In this era, communication is underdeveloped and there is no way to refute rumors. This is the period when the effect of "people's words are frightening" is at its peak.

After Su Leng ascended to the throne in this way, he had no majesty and no troops, so he might have to be replaced by another dynasty in a short time.

Although this method can temporarily ascend the throne for a period of time and complete the main mission, it seriously violates his persona of "a prince with ambitions to become emperor".

What is ambition?

In Su Ling's view, the so-called ambition is to become bigger and stronger!

In Su Ling's understanding, a prince who is ambitious to become emperor means to seize the throne by extraordinary means, then become bigger and stronger, and create greater glory!

Therefore, Su Ling would never use such a desperate method to ascend to the throne.

What's more, he entered the game to practice martial arts to strengthen himself and obtain the maximum benefit. He has not yet achieved his goal, so naturally it is impossible to end the game like this.

It can be said that after all the players are eliminated, it is Su Leng's real performance time!

"The next step is to wait."

In the courtyard of the imperial study, Su Ling thought to himself as he watched the unconscious old emperor being carried away.

He has already arranged everything, and he is just waiting for time to make things progress.

That night.

Seven princes died in the palace in one day, and the gossip that the current emperor fainted from anger spread throughout the capital in an instant.

Especially the detail of this gossip. The assassination of the Ninth Prince and the accidental killing of the Crown Prince were all reported in a very precise manner. The fact that the Second Prince, the Third Prince, the Fourth Prince, the Seventh Prince, and the Fifteenth Prince were killed in the bombing was even more so.

It is said that he angered Tianwei and was struck to death by thunder from heaven.

Combined with what some dignitaries who lived close to the palace said, they indeed heard the sound of thunder and explosions coming from the direction of the palace that day. For a time, there were countless believers and the capital was in an uproar!

"Hey, have you heard? Just yesterday, when our Lord Long Live summoned all the princes to admonish him, the ninth prince suddenly went crazy and assassinated the current emperor in public, and accidentally killed the prince!"

"More than that! I also heard that the second prince, the third prince, the fourth prince, the seventh prince, and the fifteenth prince were all struck to death by thunder from the sky in broad daylight despite the clear sky because they had done something outrageous.

Got it!"

"Oh my God! What kind of evil thing did the Zhou royal family do to deserve such a punishment from heaven?"

"This is a foolish king and a disaster sent from heaven!"

"Stop talking! If you want to die talking about this outside, don't talk in my teahouse!"

Countless rumors and rumors began to spread throughout the capital.

Although the government of the capital immediately dispatched a large number of manpower to warn teahouses and taverns in various areas of the capital, and arrested many people who spread the news on the spot, they still could not stop people from talking.

And this news, as expected, was exported to domestic sales and flowed back into the palace again.

The old emperor, who was originally devastated by the loss of his seven sons, "accidentally" heard the news, immediately "poof", became angry and vomited blood on the spot, and then fell ill.

On the fifth day after the old emperor fell ill, an eight-hundred-mile emergency call suddenly came from the border of Dazhou.

The Tinder Kingdom, which is adjacent to the Great Zhou and has always been in constant friction, chose to invade the surrounding territories at this time!

Suddenly, the entire Zhou Dynasty was in an uproar.

The originally prosperous Zhou Dynasty suddenly became turbulent both internally and externally, with people panicking and the court full of criticism.

But after the old emperor fell ill, he felt groggy and had no cure, so he had to summon the prime minister Li Qingyuan and other important ministers into the palace to discuss countermeasures.

In response to the current situation, Li Qingyuan suggested that the old emperor hold a ceremony to offer sacrifices to heaven to comfort God and appease the people. At the same time, he sent members of the royal family to go on an expedition against the traitors of the Tinder Kingdom, setting an example and boosting Zhou's morale!

However, the Tinder Kingdom is a nomadic people with a naturally strong physique, strong soldiers and horses, and is not afraid of death. If the Zhou Dynasty did not have enough troops, it would not be able to suppress the Tinder Kingdom's intruders.

Even so, every time the Tinder Kingdom invaded, the soldiers and generals on the border of the Great Zhou Dynasty would suffer a lot of casualties. Therefore, it became a problem which member of the royal family should be sent to the expedition.

Because this kind of expedition is very dangerous!

The existing princes all changed their minds after hearing the news.

But soon, they no longer worried.

Because the results of this selection have already been made.

…

In the early morning, the sun rises in the east.

Royal Palace, Prince Pavilion.

"Hoo~"

In the bedroom, a breath of cool breath came out of Su Ling's mouth lying on the bed.

Along with the breath of cold air, a piece of text appeared in his eyes and in his mind.

""Five Qi Chaoyuan Breathing Technique" Proficiency +1"

[You have practiced the "Five Qi Chaoyuan Breathing Method" 519 times. The activity of the heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys has changed. Strength +0.01, agility +0.01, and physical strength +0.01. 】

After seven days, he finally practiced the "Five Qi Chaoyuan Breathing Method" 519 times, which transformed the activity of the five internal organs and increased the three attributes of strength, agility and physical strength by 0.01!

The attribute enhancement of 0.01 may seem very small, but if we take the average person's four attributes as 1 as the standard, it is actually very strong!

In particular, the three attributes were enhanced by 0.01!

At least, in Su Ling's senses, he could feel that his strength and muscles had become much stronger, and his lung capacity and other cardiopulmonary functions had also become stronger.

"This effect can be achieved in seven days. The 'breathing method' in this world is not as useless as I thought."

Feeling the changes in his body, Su Ling was quite satisfied.

Just when he felt that all three attributes of his body were enhanced by 0.01.

Outside the Prince's Pavilion, before anyone arrived, Eunuch Zhang's sharp voice came: "The imperial edict has arrived~~"

Hearing Eunuch Zhang's voice, Su Ling raised his head and narrowed his eyes slightly: "We're finally here."

Everything he had carefully planned before was just for this opportunity to go on the expedition!

By the way, I don’t know how to write about war, and this copy will be over soon.

Yes, it is like that.
