Law of the Devil

Chapter 296: The Regent

.

(Today’s update is here~)

Du Wei's face was calm, but his heart was already making waves!

blue ocean?

It's blue ocean again? ?

Du Wei now knows the origin of this blue ocean scholar. This mysterious scholar who was born in Daxue Mountain not only trained outstanding young people like Philip.  He also taught the top martial artists in the mainland like Rodriguez!

This blue sea scholar from Daxue Mountain... is still involved in this royal family struggle so subtly?

Is it unintentional? Still interested?

If it is said that when Lan Hai introduced his disciple to go to the northwest with Du Wei, Du Wei only regarded this old scholar as an old man who worried about the country and the people.

But after knowing his background in the Snowy Mountains... Lan Hai's request of don't let grassland people step over Mount Kilimaro probably has some other meanings...

Although Du Wei thought so in his heart, he didn't dare to show it on his face.  Listening carefully to Prince Chen's continued narration...

In a pack of wolves, the leading wolf is already a bit old, but he refuses to give up his position as the leading wolf. But at this time, it has no choice but to see that there is already a young male wolf, which is gradually getting stronger, strong enough to threaten him degree of status.

At this time, what will the father do?

He set his mind on me.

I am young, I am only ten years old! And I was praised as a genius and intelligent little prince.

If...if I am changed to crown prince.  Then when I grow up and become an adult, when I am mature...the emperor can reasonably make me wait for more than ten years or even further!

He doesn't really like me that much, he doesn't really think that I'm smarter and more talented than my 30-year-old elder brother.

The only reason is: make me the crown prince, so he can sit on the throne for another ten or twenty years - because the heir hasn't grown up yet!

This is the favor that my father has for me, and this is the appreciation that my father has for me that has been spread outside! !

Ha ha! !

※#8226;

Speaking of this, Prince Chen's voice became very deep. He looked at the sky and sighed: Du Wei.   You can't understand... How did I get here that night, that is, the night when I finally understood the words of the blue ocean scholar! I have lived my whole life until now, that day The night was the hardest and most difficult night in my life! Even the night before the coup d’etat two years ago, when I was facing a big enemy, it was far less sad than the night when I was ten years old!”

Du Wei looked at His Highness Chen's face. Suddenly felt that sitting in his seat was not so glorious.

After hesitating for a while, Du Wei sighed in a low voice: Perhaps... I can understand it.  Because of the feeling you mentioned... I have experienced it to some extent.  

Prince Chen looked at Du Wei, and the corners of his eyes smiled little by little: Yes...you are indeed one of the few people who can understand me.   Du Wei, this is why I trust you so much! You, Du Wei, the former heir of the Luo Lin family.   Later, you were exiled to your hometown because you were not favored, and then returned to the imperial capital because you were taught by a magister... Although your experience in the family is different from mine, But the situation and mood are quite similar. Du Wei, when I met you that time, I felt a faint feeling of sympathy. That’s why. I’m so close to you and value you so much!

Du Wei was silent.

He could imagine that on a night more than ten years ago, the ten-year-old little prince sat in the room, facing the cold night sky, and understood in his heart that his father's love for him was just a play, and even put him on the bed. Grill on the stove...

This kind of mood is probably really similar to my mentality when I learned that my father sent someone to kill me. …

The two looked at each other and smiled again. It's just that the smiles this time are a little more sincere.

subsequently. Prince Chen continued to tell.

※#8226;

After that.  I finally figured out a lot. That chilling night did not make me completely despair. I was a bit lucky in my heart.

But soon. I finally discovered that being born in the royal family may seem rich and honorable, but once you involve the supreme interests, all the wealth and honor around you will immediately become murderous!

Brother Dahuang gradually alienated me, and I never blamed him.  I figured it out after I figured it out.  It's not his fault.  After all, once upon a time we were brothers.  But after that, we become ridiculous throne contenders.

And what's even more ridiculous is that Brother Da Huang didn't even understand that my father didn't want to pass the throne to me! Because in the eyes of my father, I am also a competitor! The only lucky thing for me is that I am still young, and my father can use me as a shield! If I had been in my twenties at that time, my father would never have said that he would make me the Crown Prince!

It's a pity... Father doesn't have a younger son, otherwise, I believe he will definitely choose a younger son!

Brother Huang regards me as an enemy. The funny thing is, I don't want to argue with him at all!

That throne, in my opinion, is not attractive at all.

So, in a disguised form, I wanted to send a message to Brother Huang. I hope he can rest assured that I will not argue with him.

The Augustinian Dynasty established the country with martial arts, but all the royal children of our Augustinian family must learn equestrian and martial arts.  But I just refuse to study.  I even openly expressed my interest in magic, and I went to learn magic with great fanfare.

Because everyone knows that magicians are not greedy for worldly power. Magicians are monsters transcending the world.  Moreover, historically, except for the founding emperor Aragorn.  No emperor is also a magician!

After learning magic, you will gradually lose interest in worldly power.

So, I went to learn magic deliberately and openly, just to let Brother Dahuang understand that I don't want to compete with him.

It's a pity that Brother Da Huang didn't seem to understand my intentions.

What's even more ridiculous is that my learning of magic is considered deviant. My court scholars and teachers all expressed their opposition, but my father was in favor of me.

This is regarded by many people as my father's love for me. Even my father indulged and supported me with love!

But is this really the case?

I had figured it out a long time ago, and understood what my father meant by doing this: he was happy for me to learn magic, and hoped that after I learned magic, I would not be interested in power and status. In this case, even if I am appointed crown prince, I will not be in a hurry to succeed. He can be emperor for a few more years!

It's a pity that my concession didn't make Brother Dahuang let me go.

When I was eleven years old, I was assassinated for the first time in my life!

I almost died that time! A maid who has been taking care of me since I was five years old brought me a bowl of poison with her own hands and nearly poisoned me to death!

Fortunately, at that time, I had already studied magic, and I had also dabbled in magic pharmacy...

snort! It's not that easy to poison a potion master to death!

I know my father won't want to kill me! He still wants to use me as a shield! so. There is only one person who wants me to die...my big brother!

What happened that time completely shattered my last illusion! I have read history, and I know what is written in the books: When facing the struggle for the throne, there is no family affection to speak of!

That time, I understood.  Blindly giving in does not guarantee my safety! Today he can bribe my maid to poison me, and tomorrow he might bribe my guard to stab me while I'm sleeping! …

I don't want to die, I want to survive, then I have no choice but to embark on the road of becoming an enemy of the big emperor brother!

The first time is the hardest.

I'm just a child, I don't have a trusted team, I don't have my own power, I'm an empty prince. Only pompous status.  There is really not much capital for self-protection.

At the beginning, I could only try my best to please the court magician. I worshiped the chief magician of the court as my teacher. For a while, I studied magic desperately, tried my best to pretend to be extremely obsessed with studying magic, and even ate and lived by the teacher's side every day... …

The teacher was very pleased with my hard work... He even thought that I had an extremely rare magical talent, and once regarded me as his proud disciple.

In fact, I was just using an excuse to stay by his side to ensure my own safety! Because at that time I had no other way, in the palace, the only way to be safest was by the side of the chief magician of the palace!

Because the chief magician of the court is only loyal to the emperor, not to any faction. His high-strength magic strength is also capable enough to protect me.

During that period of time, I lived in a very pitiful and embarrassing way! But it strengthened my heart even more!

Although I don't have much desire for the throne, in order to survive, I must have strength!

Fortunately, after a few days, I cleverly took advantage of the fact that the maid wanted to poison me to death, and quietly passed the news to my father.

Father was finally reminded of this incident.  After he pretended to be furious, he executed several chief servants of the court.

Then, he began to face up to a problem: in order to ensure that my shield for the throne would not die easily, he had to give me some capital to protect myself.

This is my biggest bargaining chip, and my biggest reliance, is my father! He won't let me die! Not because I'm his son, or how much he loves me!

From that time on, my father finally began to give me some real power. He gave me a small team of the Imperial City Near Wei Army, and sent several court magicians to act as my personal magic advisors. The right to freely enter and exit the imperial palace allows me to calmly arrange my own power. In this way, I finally began to gradually grasp a little bit of my own capital!

I accumulated my own capital little by little and formed my own team. Later, he tried his best to win over predators like Count Villa and Delan Mountain Warcraft...

The ten-year-long battle between Brother Dahuang and I has officially begun!

※#8226;

I don't want to be emperor, I never wanted to be. Prince Chen sighed softly: It's just that in such a situation, I have to confront the emperor brother tit for tat in order to protect myself.  I'm not for the throne...but for Survive! Because I know that if my heart is a little softer.  Brother Huang will definitely kill me without hesitation!

And things have a beginning, you have to go step by step! Arrived later. Even if I don't want to hurt Brother Huang, I have no other choice! Because I know my emperor brother too well. He was inherently extreme in his temperament, and after being suppressed by his father for decades, his personality gradually became gloomy and ruthless.

Originally, I thought that if I had the strength to protect myself, it would be fine. But later, I understood one thing: even if I just blindly protect myself.  Also useless! Because Brother Huang has already regarded me as a sworn enemy! In his heart, the biggest goal is to get rid of me! Poor elder brother, he didn't understand until his death that it wasn't me competing for the throne with him, it was my father deliberately using me to block his way. He never really understood that his real competitor is not my Chen, but our dear father. …

And this is precisely my greatest strength. Because I know very well where the bottom line of the father is.  Whatever. Father will never let me die. When some dangers arise, Father will protect me! This is my greatest guarantee!

Unfortunately, I have no room to turn back. Because based on what I know about him, even if I blindly tolerate it. If he becomes emperor in the future, I'm afraid he won't tolerate me either! I know my emperor brother too well!

so. The target of my confrontation with him has also changed. Originally I just wanted to protect myself. Later I realized that self-protection is not enough, only by making him completely unable to become emperor can I continue to survive in the future! Therefore, our fight naturally became more and more intense, and finally reached the point of life and death. 

Du Wei sighed in his heart.

He could imagine how a boy in his early ten years, in the imperial palace, was surrounded by dangers, how he walked over these years step by step like walking a tightrope on a cliff! Prince Chen is of course full of schemes and clever means of doing things.  Sometimes even some schemes appear vicious.  But imagine a child in his early teens. If you want to survive, you don't need some excessive means. How can you protect yourself?

A ten-year-old child loses his innocence and has to fall into political struggle, the dirtiest quagmire in the world. Only then did the King Regent who looks like a beautiful man today come into being!

Said that he killed his brother and deceived his father... But how did the person who said these words know his difficulties?

Brother Dahuang's mutiny plan, I have been aware of it for a long time.  But I could have stopped it in advance, but I didn't.  Because this is my greatest opportunity, I can completely overthrow him in one step! Only when he completely collapses can I Only by surviving can we win the final victory of this struggle.  I am not greedy for the throne, I am purely fighting for my most basic power: to survive! To survive! In order to survive, I had to make various arrangements before the coup, in order to obtain the temple With the support of the Pope, I have the secret teachings of the Pope.   The conditions I offered are enough to tempt the temple, because of this condition, the temple and the royal family have been fighting secretly for thousands of years, and they have always dreamed of victory! Therefore, although the emperor Brother's daughter is serving as a saint in the temple, but the temple still fell to me in secret, and on that day, I gave big brother a hard blow!

Speaking of this, Prince Chen gradually showed a complicated smile on his face: The Pope must be very proud, because now anyone thinks that I am the regent of the empire now, and I must be the emperor of the empire in the future! If the emperor can Recognizing the Pope as the godfather symbolizes the royal family’s bowing to theocracy! However, he was wrong! Everyone thinks that I like the throne, but the throne of the emperor is not that heavy to me!”

Afterwards, Prince Chen blinked at Du Wei: The Pope is planning everything. It's just that he plots against me. Why don't I plot against him? Hmph! It's a pity that I can't get a 'Godson of the Emperor'! He only Can harvest a 'regent godson'! Because, before I trade with him, I have already made a decision! In my life, I will never become emperor! The title of emperor is still reserved for me Child! I will only be a regent in my life. ”
