Chapter 1379 A Decision that Shocked Everyone

"I am considering including the eldest prince in the list of candidates for the crown prince. The probation period is three months. If the eldest prince's performance meets my expectations within three months, he will become the official crown prince of Yaohai Kingdom."

This news shocked everyone in the court!

Why, not the fourth prince, but the eldest prince?

As we all know, the eldest prince has a mild personality and has always been considered by court officials and families as not the best candidate for the crown prince. The fourth prince is a man of great talent and strategy, and is worthy of the position of crown prince.

For a long time, everyone thought that if they had to rank them in the monarch's mind, the fourth prince would definitely take precedence over the eldest prince.

But now, the facts are just the opposite!

The monarch of Yaohai Kingdom actually made the decision to give priority to the eldest prince as the crown prince!

In fact, everyone knows that this three-month probation period is just a formality. As long as the eldest prince does not make any fatal mistakes in these three months, then the position of crown prince will definitely belong to the eldest prince.

In other words, the eldest prince has actually locked the position of crown prince in advance.

And the monarch of Yaohai Kingdom did not explain to everyone why he made this decision.

Because, as an emperor, he does not need to explain his decision to anyone except Chu Dishi and Zhennan Wang.

The fourth prince was also at the scene, but from the expression on his face, the fourth prince obviously did not know the news in advance. Although he tried his best to control his expression, it was not difficult to see shock, anger and disbelief.

From this day on, many things have changed subtly.

Many nobles who were originally close to the fourth prince chose to distance themselves from the fourth prince, and some, although not so obvious, were also very negative when they came into contact with the fourth prince.

In the court, the fourth prince is no longer the object of everyone's support every time. On the contrary, the eldest prince has become the focus of everyone's heated discussion every time.

This is absolutely an unacceptable change for the fourth prince.

However, the fourth prince has no choice but to watch the eldest prince's supporters increase day by day.

No one can figure out how the eldest prince made the monarch determined to make himself the crown prince? What did he rely on to impress the monarch of Yaohai Kingdom?

Is it his talent for governing the country?

Or his martial arts potential?

But in fact, Su Chen knew that everyone was thinking too complicated.

For the monarch of Yaohai Kingdom, the way of thinking of the superior is actually very simple, that is, how to do it in the greatest benefit to oneself.

And the eldest prince undoubtedly brought the greatest benefit to the monarch of Yaohai Kingdom, that is, the indestructible Chiming Stone weapon! Chiming Stone weapons that can be equipped to the army in batches!

If all the armies of Yaohai Kingdom can be equipped with such weapons, the national strength of Yaohai Kingdom will be reborn.

In this case, whether the eldest prince is the crown prince or the fourth prince is the crown prince, for the monarch of Yaohai Kingdom, there is actually not much difference.

Because both princes have fully possessed the qualities of being a crown prince. In this case, the strength of the army is the foundation of Yaohai Kingdom's survival.

This is exactly the same as Su Chen's previous expectation. He had long expected that as long as the eldest prince showed the red stone magic weapon to the monarch of Yaohai Kingdom, the monarch would definitely choose him as the crown prince.

As for Chu Di Shi?

Su Chen believed that the monarch should have consulted the Emperor Chu before making the final decision on the eldest prince.

Because Su Chen knew that with the character of the Emperor Chu, the ambitious and purposeful style of the fourth prince was not liked by him.

This can be seen from the ranking of birthday gifts selected by the Emperor Chu at the birthday party, which ranked the fourth prince third.

During this period, everyone in the camp of the eldest prince was in high spirits, and the eldest prince was in high spirits recently.

However, under Su Chen's reminder, the eldest prince did not lose his complacency because of this, but sent people to speed up the production of the first batch of 20,000 red dusk stone weapons.

Of course, the refining of the red dusk stone weapons and the eldest prince's workshop have been kept secret. Except for Su Chen, the eldest prince and several of his confidants, no one else knew about it.

And under the intensive rush of work, the first batch of 20,000 red dusk stone weapons was also produced half a month ahead of schedule.

However, what made Su Chen a little concerned was that during this period, the Fourth Prince was very calm.

In fact, the calmness of the Fourth Prince had reached a somewhat abnormal level, as if the Fourth Prince had completely accepted his fate and did not resist.

This calmness made Su Chen feel a little abnormal. He did not believe that the Fourth Prince, who had always been ambitious, would be willing to accept the fact that he had lost his position as the crown prince.

Therefore, the less the Fourth Prince did, the more suspicious Su Chen felt.

"My dear brother, you worry too much."

The eldest prince smiled and said, "The Fourth Brother dare not do anything, because he is still a rich prince now, but if he does something out of the ordinary,
