"I will consider including the eldest prince in the prince's inspection. The inspection period is three months. Within three months, if the eldest prince's performance meets my expectations, he will become the official 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 meek personality, and has always been considered by the courtiers and family not to be the best candidate for the crown prince. The fourth prince has great talents and strategies, and is worthy of the position of crown prince.

All along, everyone thought that if there was a ranking in the monarch's heart, the fourth prince would definitely take priority over the eldest prince.

But now, the reality is exactly the opposite!

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

In fact, everyone knows that this three-month inspection 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 in the position of crown prince in advance.

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

Because, as the emperor, he did not need to explain his decision to anyone except Emperor Chu and King Zhennan.

The Fourth Prince was also present, but judging from the expression on his face, it was obvious that the Fourth Prince had not been informed of 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 undergone subtle changes.

Many famous nobles who were originally close to the Fourth Prince chose to alienate their relationship with the Fourth Prince. Some, although not so obvious, had a very negative attitude when they came into contact with the Fourth Prince.

And in the court, the fourth prince was no longer the object of support every time. On the contrary, the eldest prince always became the focus of heated discussion.

This is absolutely an unacceptable change for the fourth prince.

However, the fourth prince had no choice but to watch as the number of supporters of the eldest prince increased day by day.

Everyone couldn't figure out how the eldest prince made the monarch make up his mind to make himself the crown prince? What on earth 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 thought too complicatedly.

For the monarch of the Yaohai Kingdom, the superior's thinking when looking at the problem is actually very simple, that is, what can be done to produce the greatest benefit to himself.

The eldest prince has undoubtedly brought the greatest benefit to the monarch of Yaohai Kingdom, which is the indestructible red stone weapon! Red stone weapons that can be equipped in batches for the army!

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

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

Because both princes are fully qualified to be princes. In this case, the strength of the army is fundamental to the survival of the Yaohai Kingdom.

This was exactly what Su Chen had expected before. He had long expected that as long as the eldest prince presented a red stone magic weapon to the monarch of the Yaohai Kingdom, the monarch would definitely choose him as the heir apparent.

As for Emperor Chu’s side?

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

Because Su Chen knew that with the character of Emperor Chu's master, he did not like the fourth prince's ambitious and overly purposeful style.

This can be seen from the fact that at Emperor Chu's birthday party, the fourth prince was ranked third among the birthday gifts he ordered.

During this time, everyone in the eldest prince's camp was beaming with joy. The eldest prince was very proud of himself recently.

However, after being reminded by Su Chen, the eldest prince did not lose his composure because of this. He just sent people to work hard to create the first batch of 20,000 pieces of the Red Stone Divine Weapon.

Of course, the refining of the Red Stone Divine Weapon and the First Prince's workshop have always been kept secret. Except for Su Chen, the eldest prince and a few of the eldest prince's confidants, no one else knew.

Due to intensive work, the first batch of 20,000 red stone weapons was released 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.

Even the calmness on the Fourth Prince's side had reached an abnormal level, as if the Fourth Prince had completely accepted his fate and did not offer any resistance.

This kind of 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 of losing his position as heir apparent.

Therefore, the less the fourth prince did, the more suspicious Su Chen felt.

"My dear brother, you are worrying too much."

The eldest prince smiled and said, "The fourth brother doesn't dare to do anything because he is still a wealthy prince now, but if he does anything extraordinary,
