Three days later.
A piece of secret news immediately caused a stir in the entire imperial city - the two powerful forces, Xu Guozhong and Mingdetang, all revealed their intention to support the eighth prince.
At the same time, other forces secretly discovered that there were more than a dozen powerful people who surpassed the Soul Saint in the eighth prince's palace, and among them was a titled Douluo!
Obviously, there is definitely a very powerful force behind the Eighth Prince!
After these news came out, it immediately caused a shock in the entire palace, and the mentality of all the princes collapsed.
They worked hard, verbally promised countless prices, and were either drawing a big pie or on the road to drawing a big pie every day. Only then did they win over some scattered small forces...
And the Eighth Prince is this piece of shit. , has just announced that he will participate in the competition for the throne, but so many big forces choose to support him.
And it is also supported by Mingdetang and a prince!
You know, even Xu Tianran had not yet convinced the support of these two major forces!
What kind of virtue and ability is this bitch, the Eighth Prince?
Everyone thought hard and couldn't think of any reason.
……
……
“Bang!”
In the palace of the Sixteenth Prince, Xu Tianan, who had always been calm about things, slapped him to pieces. The thousand-year-old sandalwood desk in front of him looked like a furious lion, with blood-red eyes.
"Why! Why!! He is a bastard who is just waiting to die. How can he be better than me!"
"Jing Hongchen and Xu Guozhong are really blind. They rejected me." Forgetting the invitation, he turned around and supported the good-for-nothing Eighth Prince! "
"That good-for-nothing does nothing but eat, drink, and gamble all day long!"
Xu! Tianan roared angrily, and the terrifying aura pressured the entire palace. Several maids even died suddenly because they could not withstand the terrifying pressure.
The other maids and guards around were all kneeling on the ground, trembling.
Accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger. Their highness showed to outsiders that he was brave, resourceful, ambitious, and loved the people.
But only they, the personal guards and maids, knew that Xu Tianan was an out-and-out tyrant.
They often torture and kill their subordinates to vent their anger. These guards and maids have just arrived less than half a month ago, and almost all of them are newcomers, because all the old people have died suddenly...
Those few days ago There are several maids, some of whom have just arrived for a day or two...
"Your Majesty, please calm down, there must be something hidden in this matter, and His Majesty is still alive. As long as your performance can be appreciated by His Majesty, there may not be a comeback." opportunity.”
Next to Xu Tianan, a middle-aged man in white robe slowly spoke and hurriedly persuaded.
The man in white robe is named Zhao Gao. He is Xu Tianan's military advisor, the leader of the think tank, and the eldest son of the Zhao family.
The Zhao family is one of the top ten big families in Mingdu. Originally, the other party took refuge with the third prince. After the third prince fell, they set their sights on Xu Tianan, the most promising one. A big gamble.
"Then tell me what is going on!" Xu Tianan was still furious.
"My subordinates speculate that the reason why the Hongchen Hall Master and the Prince chose the Eighth Prince may be because of the Eighth Prince's bloodline..."
"After all, everyone knows that His Majesty values bloodline the most, so they also placed their bets on the Eighth Prince..."
Zhao Gao said slowly. "Bloodline... what's the use of bloodline? A waste like myna, even if it's pure bloodline, it can't be helped!" When he heard about bloodline, Xu Tianan felt even more unhappy.
After all, although he is extremely talented, the purity of the royal bloodline can be said to be at the bottom among all the princes...
Among the royal clans , with talent factions and bloodline factions.
The clan members and forces that once supported the third prince were all from the bloodline sect, because the third prince inherited the most pure and orthodox martial spirit of the royal family - the Sun Martial Spirit, and had the highest concentration of bloodline.
The ones who support Xu Tianran are the talented faction.
Although Xu Tianran's royal bloodline was not of high purity and he did not inherit the Sun Martial Spirit, he awakened the very rare but extremely powerful "Purple Brilliance Sky-Destroying Dragon" Martial Spirit among the royal family.
In terms of combat power alone, Xu Tianran can definitely crush the third prince!
After all, the former second prince had the highest concentration of blood, but he was defeated by Xu Tianran in the fight with Xu Tianran, leaving no trace of his body.
Those bloodline factions that originally supported the second prince began to support the third prince.
The third prince also lived up to expectations. He knew that he was no match for Xu Tianran, so he chose to rely on the purity of his bloodline to continuously win over the bloodline factions in the royal family. At the same time, he also performed many deeds and received great favor from the emperor. appreciation.
Xu Tianran secretly recruited other forces, and the two sides were evenly matched.
Unfortunately, both the third prince and Xu Tianran died suddenly.
This gave the future princes an advantage.
The princes like them tried their best to win over the major forces, but they never expected that the useless eighth prince would come from behind. This is very frustrating and painful...
"Your Highness, the eighth prince is treating us badly. The threat is still too great, and my subordinates suggested that we can temporarily unite with other princes to put the eighth prince..."
Zhao Gao's face gradually became colder, and he made a gesture of wiping his neck.
"I do, but Xu Guozhong and Jing Hongchen are not fools. How could they not be prepared at all." Xu Tianan frowned, feeling a little weak.
Although many factors will affect the fight for the throne, combat power is undoubtedly the most influential.
With the support of Jing Hongchen and Xu Guozhong, it is simply impossible to force the Eighth Prince out of the competition by force.
"No matter what, you have to give it a try. It doesn't necessarily need to be forced to kill, you can also use other means. His Highness and several other princes combined are also an extremely powerful force, and there is still a good chance." Zhao Gao said through gritted teeth.
The Zhao family originally invested in the third prince, and they paid a huge price for it.
But no one expected that the third prince died suddenly and inexplicably, which caused all their previous huge investments to be wasted.
Now that the Zhao family has turned to invest in Xu Tianan, it can be said that they have risked their entire family fortune. It is a completely desperate move! Give it a try!
If it succeeds, then the Zhao family will take off directly.
If Xu Tianan fails in the end, then his Zhao family is also doomed! Even if they are not exterminated by their enemies, they will still be exiled to remote cities, which is no different from genocide.
Now can be said to be the best opportunity. If they don't give it a try and wait until the Eighth Prince develops, then they will really have no chance.
"Okay, then I'll give it a try!" Hearing this, Xu Tianan gritted his teeth and made up his mind to give it a try!
