Although he was confident in Chen An, he felt that such a person would probably not look down on his brother, but how could such a thing be said accurately?

But Chen An's answer obviously did not disappoint him.

Chen An looked at Cheng Zheng in front of him, with a smile on his face, and then said, "I'm sorry, although the second prince invited me to visit, he was too stingy. It was approaching noon and he didn't even want to give me a lunch."

"As a last resort, I can only come here. Your Highness, please see if you can ask for a meal."

"Hahaha!"

Cheng Zheng finally felt relieved, and his face showed no concealed joy: "I don't have anything else here, but I still have no problem with having a meal."

"If you want to, you can come here often today."

"Then I would like to thank Your Highness."

Chen An smiled and bowed to salute.

After a while, they entered the hall.

The food was served slowly, but compared to the last time, this time it was very simple.

Looking at the whole table, it was just four dishes and one soup.

It is not rare for ordinary people who can't afford to eat, but it is very pitiful for the identity of Prince Cheng Zheng.

Chen An seemed to be thinking.

He remembered that the last time he was a guest here, the food was extremely rich.

Feeling Chen An's eyes, as if he was afraid that Chen An would misunderstand. Cheng Zheng smiled awkwardly and said, "Sorry, I didn't know that you would come to Chang'an in advance, so I didn't prepare specifically."

"Your Highness, Prince, usually snacks with your wife?"

Chen An said curiously.

“It’s good to save some things after all.”

Cheng Zheng said frankly.

Chen An couldn't help but nodded and glanced at Prince Cheng Zheng again.

From all aspects, the other party is probably extremely frugal in his daily life.

Saving is nothing, and it may not be possible to achieve anything big.

But the rare thing is that when the other party is frugal, he is generous when he really wants to take action.

For example, even if the mysterious ice power given to Chen An was honored by the other prince, it would probably take a lot of effort to get it.

Such a generous gift was given by the other party as soon as he said he would give it, without any hesitation.

This is quite rare.

"How do you feel after meeting my second brother?"

After a meal was used up, Cheng Zheng asked with a smile.

"The second prince is talented and noble, and has a natural family style in every move, but..."

"However?" Cheng Zheng continued to ask.

"However, I don't look like a monarch..."

Chen An paused and then spoke.

Cheng Zheng was stunned.

Is it so straightforward?

"My second brother... is the queen's son. Not only is the mother's clan strong, but there are many dukes following him..."

After a long time of silence, Cheng Zheng spoke again and said, "Is this not the appearance of a monarch?"

He looked at Chen An in a steady state and asked.

"It is precisely because the second prince is powerful and has many followers, so he is not the norm..."

Chen An smiled, then said, "You know, Your Majesty is still here now."

The prince is powerful and will inevitably threaten the emperor. This is certain.

"The second prince has a huge power and a strong mother clan. This is naturally a good thing, but there is still a big prince on it."

"The eldest prince is the eldest prince, the legitimate prince. If the eldest prince is in front of him, it will be extremely difficult for the second prince to succeed him."

"What if the emperor... the elder brother was brought down?"

Cheng Zheng continued to ask.

"If that happens, your Majesty will be in a state of peace..."

Chen An continued.

Yes, if even the eldest prince is defeated by the second prince, the second prince's power will expand to a point that makes anyone afraid of it.

As the Emperor, who will not be afraid or afraid?

In fact, even before seeing the second prince, Chen An felt that the second prince had a very small chance of succeeding ascending the throne.

History learned in his previous life told him that when the emperor was still strong, he would win over the powerful and powerful princes. If they had too much strength, they would often end up not having a good ending.

This would be even more so if he was not a legitimate heir and had a eldest brother (the prince) in front of him.

This kind of person usually has only two final outcomes.

Either they are suppressed and finally ended in their peak. They become weaker, or they either directly fight back and use force to push the emperor down.

There are many examples of the former, while the latter is the most famous one, naturally Li Shimin.

But the problem is that, except for Li Shimin, there seems to be few people who have done this, right?

The probability is too small and it's a little difficult.

So Chen An never thought about supporting the second prince to take office or something.

Even if he really defected to the second prince, at most he would just find a way to get martial arts from him.

After getting the exercises, he ran away directly, regardless of what he did later.

But when it comes to the third prince, Chen An feels that his chances are much greater than those of the second prince.

This is very different from what others around me think.

"Although your highness is not strong in his mother's family and is not the eldest son, he is better than in seclusion."

Chen An said, "Whether the second prince or the eldest prince, they regard each other as enemies, but they rarely regard you as your opponent."

"This is your advantage for the Third Prince. You can develop slowly without being targeted by others."

“This is the first point.”

"What else?"

Cheng Zheng hurriedly asked.

"The second point is naturally His Majesty's trust."

Chen An smiled and said, "Of the three older princes, your highness, you have the least power and the threat to Your Majesty is the least."

"Among the three princes, I believe that the one you trust most is Your Majesty, you."

"And as long as your Majesty trusts you, everything will be great."

In this world, warriors are the most powerful force.

When it comes to his masters, who can beat him today?

Not to mention that the second prince’s men had a large number of support from the Gangqi Duke, it seemed to be quite powerful.

But what will happen to these people compared with the power controlled by the emperor?

I'm afraid it's still far from that.

The emperor has the greatest power, which is the decisive factor.

Therefore, as long as you can gain the trust of the emperor, you will be able to obtain the support of the most powerful force.

"Your Highness is the eldest son, but his biological mother died early and his cruel nature is never favored by others."

"Although he has supported him over the years, he has not been crowned as the crown prince for a long time, which is a clear proof."

"The Second Highness needs no more to say. He wins over the Duke of the People's Republic of China, and has many supporters behind it. Sooner or later, he will be jealous of His Majesty."
