Chapter 150 Is it okay not to fight?
When the queen heard what the prince said, her face suddenly darkened. She stared at the prince, her eyes full of disappointment and anxiety.
"My son, how can you be so naive! The Prince of Chen is ambitious. He appears to be kind to you, but he has always coveted your position as the Crown Prince. Don't be fooled by his appearance. Everything he does is just a prelude to seize the throne in the future."
The queen stood up, walked slowly to the prince, and held his shoulders.
"Think about it. As the crown prince, the throne should be yours. You are the legitimate heir to the throne, shouldering the glory of the royal family and the responsibility of the country. Even if the prince is very capable, he cannot surpass you. The inheritance of the throne has strict rules, how can we allow others to covet it at will?"
The prince frowned, a look of displeasure on his face, and he gently broke free from the queen's hand.
"Mother, the Emperor's uncle treats me sincerely. If he wanted the throne, with his ability, he could have fought for it long ago. Why wait until today? I believe that the Emperor's uncle has no such intention. After all, in terms of qualifications, no one is more qualified than the Emperor's uncle!"
The queen was so angry that she was shaking all over. She pointed at the prince and said, "How could you be so foolish, child? The prince is ambitious. He is just waiting for the right opportunity. Don't be blinded by his hypocrisy. The fight for the throne has always been cruel and ruthless. If you are not vigilant, you will be harmed by others sooner or later."
The prince was also angered by the queen's words. He shouted, "Mother, the emperor's uncle has been very kind to me. I don't believe he would have second thoughts. If he really wants the position of crown prince, I will give it to him. I don't want to be his enemy."
The queen's eyes widened in disbelief.
"You rebellious son, why are you so unwilling to make progress? As the crown prince, you shoulder the future of the royal family. How can you easily say that you will give up the crown prince's position? If you are so weak, how can you inherit the throne and govern the country in the future?"
The prince raised his head stubbornly, his eyes full of determination.
"It's not that I don't want to make progress, but I don't want to be suspicious of my uncle for no reason. I will always remember the guidance and help from my uncle, and I believe in him. Moreover, if it can help the people live and work in peace, what's wrong with me giving up my position?"
The queen was so angry that she covered her chest and shook her head repeatedly.
"You are hopeless, kid. The Prince of Chen is definitely not a good person. If he ascends the throne, he will definitely kill us all. How can you be so foolish and not think about your future? You should know what kind of predicament you will face once you lose the throne."
The prince felt a little reluctant when he saw the queen's angry and worried expression, but he still insisted on his own idea.
"Mother, I believe that my uncle will not do that. If that day comes, I am willing to bear the consequences. But before that, I do not want to unreasonably suspect my uncle and destroy the relationship between us. Moreover, I believe that governing a country depends on benevolence and wisdom, not just on the inheritance of the throne."
The queen looked at the prince's determined eyes and knew that nothing she said would change his mind.
She sighed helplessly and sat back on the couch, her eyes full of worry.
"My son, you know that the fight for the throne is never a personal matter. It concerns the fate of the entire country. If you give up easily, it will bring endless disasters to the country."
The prince was silent for a moment, then said, "Mother, I understand the importance of the throne. But I also believe that as long as we uphold justice and put the people first, no matter who sits on the throne, they can bring prosperity and stability to the country."
The queen shook her head and said, "You are too naive. In this vortex of power, people's hearts are unpredictable. You must always remain vigilant and protect your throne to ensure the stability of the country."
The prince frowned slightly and said, "Mother, I will work hard to improve my abilities and prepare for inheriting the throne in the future. But I also hope that we will not be suspicious of others without reason, so as to avoid unnecessary fights."
The queen looked at the prince and felt helpless. How could she have such a naive son?
She knew that the prince's ideas were too simple in this complicated palace, but she couldn't force him to change his mind.
Since the prince is unwilling to fight, how can she, as a mother, bear to watch others harm her?
The queen looked at the prince, feeling helpless.
She was silent for a long time, and finally said slowly: "Forget it, you go back first."
After saying this, she waved her hand, signaling the attendants around her to send the prince away.
"Mother..."
The prince was slightly stunned. He opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he bowed in silence, turned around and left with his attendants.
After the prince left, the queen's eyes became more determined.
She sat on the couch, squinting her eyes slightly, thinking secretly in her heart.
"If he doesn't want to fight, then I, as his mother, have to fight for him. I can't just watch others hurt him. Even if it means risking everything, I will plan a stable future for him."
The queen stood up, walked to the window, looked at the palaces and buildings outside, and a feeling of determination surged in her heart.
She called her trusted eunuch and whispered, "Go, gather our people. From now on, pay close attention to the prince's every move, and report any disturbance to me immediately."
The eunuch took the order and left, and the queen fell into deep thought again.
She knew that this fight would be extremely difficult, but for the sake of the prince, she had no choice.
She began to carefully plan every move, thinking about how to pave a safe path for the prince in this complicated palace.
The Queen decided to start with the ministers in the court. She wanted to win over those ministers who were loyal to the Prince and form a powerful force to counter the possible threat from Prince Chen.
She carefully selected some gifts and sent them to the important ministers, along with her own handwritten letters to express her trust and expectations for them.
In the harem, the queen also strengthened her control over various forces.
She used her power to suppress concubines, palace maids and eunuchs who might be detrimental to the prince, and ensure the stability of the harem.
She also secretly trained a group of loyal guards to secretly protect the prince's safety.
As time went by, the queen's plan gradually unfolded.
She planned carefully and considered every step carefully, just to win the final victory for the prince in the battle for the throne.
However, she also knows that this battle is full of variables and the road ahead is still full of challenges.
But she was not afraid, because she had only one belief in her heart, that is, for the future of the prince, she must do her best.
