Chapter 409: 409
Though I can't beat him in a straight-up fight, or match to him .
Chen Ming was aware of the friction between Ninth and Second . He reached out, "Second Crown Prince, a word if I may . "
When he entered the carriage, Chen Ming asked, "Second Crown Prince, do you know who is the opponent this time?"
"Sage, what are you implying?"
Chen Ming smiled, "In front of little monk, you needn't tell lies . Second Crown Prince must have forgotten, this might be my first trip outside, however, I can scry . "
Second could no longer conceal his heart and erected a soundproofing array, "Only one can be Emperor and nine Crown Princes are vying for it . The most promising are Crown Prince, Ninth Crown Prince, and myself . "
Chen Ming smiled, "Can Second Crown Prince's talent outmatch Ninth Crown Prince's?"
Second's eyes flashed with anger, yet also a disappointment, "His talent is leagues above mine . "
For them to talk about this, Second was certain Chen Ming had a way to help . He gave a low bow, "Please teach me, Sage!"
"Crown Prince and Second Crown Prince's hope comes from the power you hold through retainers . Ninth Crown Prince, however, relies on talent . Before Crown Prince loses his power, Second Crown Prince and Ninth Crown Prince have no reason to fight . "
"Second Crown Prince will fight with his influence and Ninth Crown Prince with his talent in the future . Therefore, Second Crown Prince has to gather more power; greater power offers greater dominance . In the meantime, if Second Crown Prince were to unite with Ninth Crown Prince in defeating Crown Prince, his fall will mark the transfer of his power to the imposing and meticulous Second Crown Prince . They will do this by their own will . What hope would Ninth Crown Prince have then?"
Second was filled with shock, Yeah, why are I and ninth brother fighting? His best hope of becoming Emperor is thanks to his talent, something I can't compare! My target needs to be Crown Prince!
With Crown Prince's defeat, his power will be mine, not something Ninth Crown Prince can resist!
Second Crown Prince clasped his hands, "Sage's insight is like a torch, waking me from my illusions! I have returned on the righteous path . "
"Good deeds . "
"Yet I have offended ninth brother . How can I make amends?"
"I will use my name to help Second Crown Prince . Release the array . "
The two came out, with Chen Ming beginning, "I, Sage Ran Zui, am yet to have enough prestige to make Heavenly Court's Emperor come in person . If not for Second Crown Prince, I wouldn't even go to the banquet . "
Ninth got his meaning, Imperial Father was wrong . With how great Sage Ran Zui's name is, he instead sent me to welcome him . If not for second brother's words, my task would've failed .
Ninth sent a grateful glance Second's way and reached out, "Sage Ran Zui, please!"
Chen Ming walked ahead and the two princes abreast behind . Ninth cupped his hands to Second, "Thank you, second brother, for before . "
