Chapter 421: Chapter 414: Kunlun Secret Territory_1

Ji Haodian suddenly announced his intention to establish the position of Crown Prince, a move that no one had anticipated.

The reasons for this were complex and revolved around the reputation of the Great Zhou. After all, family disgrace should not be aired in public. Although the affairs of Ji Yanchang were already well-known, they still could not be openly discussed.

So Ji Yanchang still held the position of Crown Prince, but realistically everyone knew that his title was almost equivalent to being abolished, hence the audacity of other princes in vying for the throne.

Now that Ji Haodian publicly declared the succession issue, it was evident that he no longer wished to keep it under wraps. This announcement excited the other princes as they could now openly compete for the Crown Prince position, avoiding any suspicion of illegitimacy.
