Although Shang Zhiwu's conditions were more favorable in comparison, as Wu Daofu talked with Zhao Xingdou and understood their concerns and thoughts, Wu Daofu finally gave up Shang Zhiwu and turned to promote Prince Shangfeng.

There is no way, who made Prince Shangfeng almost say that the overall situation has been decided now, as long as Hong Tang does nothing, then he is almost a sure thing that the new Ryukyu will pass.

Unlike Shang Zhiwu, although the conditions given are good, but Hong Tang also needs to go out in person, and rely on force to support him to succeed as the king of the Ryukyus, and if he wants to stabilize this position and repay Hong Tang in the future, then it is inseparable from Zhao Xingdou and their Hong Tang has full support!

Therefore, Wu Daofu could only give up Shang Zhiwu, who had the best conditions, and chose the last Prince Shangfeng instead.

I don't know if Wu Daofu is very powerful or if this Prince Shangfeng's choice is really better, or both, anyway, when Wu Daofu left the palace, the peaceful expression on his face couldn't hide the smug look in his eyes.

This picture fell in the eyes of the many Ryukyu scouts outside the palace, and it was naturally a different taste.

"Hahahaha, the overall situation has been decided, and the day I ascend the throne will be the time for you to soar!" In the mansion of Prince Shang Zhiwu, the spies who monitored Zhao Xingdou and others staying in the palace sent this valuable information to Shang Zhiwu in a hurry, and Shang Zhiwu, who thought that he had finally moved the people of Hongtang, could no longer hold back the excitement in his heart, and before the matter was really settled, he had already begun to divide the henchmen around him and start dreaming of ascending the throne.

And Prince Shang Feng, who received the secret report almost at the same time, although his expression was calm and calm, his expression was a little trance, and he muttered a murmur that almost only he could hear: "Why? Why? ”

The same scene was shown in all corners of the royal capital of Shuri, Ryukyu, and the Ryukyu royal family and the gentry families with their own heads and faces had their own expressions and movements.

Early in the morning of the second day, Prince Shang Zhiwu and Prince Shang Feng took their servants and marched towards the Shuri Palace, and in front of the palace gate, there was already a dense crowd of people, old and young, who were officials of the kingdom with various official statuses.

And there is a group of people whose actions are the most eye-catching, that is, Zhao Xingdou, who has been banned from walking since the second day after King Shangning of the Ryukyus fell into a coma, and Wu Daofu, who has been recuperating at home, dozens of people.

The only thing that relieved everyone's hearts, and what made Prince Shang Zhiwu, who was complacent, a little unhappy, was that Zhao Xingdou and his party only brought more than a dozen tall and strong Hongtang elite warriors, and even these soldiers and Zhao Xingdou did not carry any weapons in the visible place outside their bodies, as if they were really just going to listen to the will and see who the Ryukyu throne was.

But soon, Shang Zhiwu was also relieved, with the strength of the Hongtang fleet on the dock outside the Shuri King City, it didn't make a difference whether he brought people here or not, whether he had weapons or not, as long as Zhao Xingdou and they arranged everything in advance, this throne was already in his Shang Zhiwu's pocket.

Thinking that Corporal Lixian gave Wu Daofu and Zhao Xingdou a kind smile from afar, Shang Zhiwu raised his eyebrows at Shang Feng, the eldest brother who looked calm on the opposite side, and proudly turned around and led his henchmen towards the palace.

Prince Shangfeng's face was calm, and he didn't care about his younger brother's abruptness, even if he thought that Hongtang's entry into the palace was to support his younger brother, he didn't forget to raise his arms and salute, said a few words of gratitude to Zhao Xingdou and them, and greeted the ministers before taking everyone into the palace together.

The two brothers had completely different performances, and in the eyes of the Ryukyu gentry and the royal family, they naturally had different perceptions, and at the same time, the eyes of many people couldn't help but quietly observe Zhao Xingdou's expressions, and looked at the more popular prince in front of them with pity.

It's just that they don't know something, when they quietly observed Zhao Xingdou and a few of their predecessors and current Hongtang high-level officials who were chatting while walking, in fact, Zhao Xingdou and they were also quietly observing the expressions and movements of these officials and royal children around them.

Even if they had to talk, it was actually about the actions and attitudes of the two princes before.

"Look at it, this hasn't even ascended the throne, he is already so arrogant, he doesn't know what Corporal Lixian is, and it will be difficult to rely on him to integrate the resources of the Ryukyu Kingdom and resist the covetousness of the Japanese people!" As the person who deals with Shang Zhiwu the most, in fact, Zhao Xingdou is more qualified to evaluate Shang Zhiwu than Wu Daofu.

After staying in the Amami Walled City for more than half a year, Zhao Xingdou knows a lot about what kind of person Shang Zhiwu is, to put it bluntly, Shang Zhiwu is a gentleman who only knows how to enjoy all the good life, and he doesn't see how much business he does a day in the walled city, but from time to time because of hunger and thirst, he does such things as robbing people's daughters.

For the Hongtang group who have been imperceptibly influenced by Li Tianyang, although many pirates may not care much about right and wrong because of their background and style, but high-level people like Wu Daofu and Zhao Xingdou, especially Wu Shu, who grew up with Li Tianyang in their generation, know that Li Tianyang dislikes such people, which also makes everyone have a disdain for this kind of person.

Not to mention Shang Zhiwu's self-righteous attitude, in Zhao Xingdou's eyes, he felt that he was despised by Shang Zhiwu, it seemed that Shang Zhiwu's eyes were more of a look at his subordinates, rather than an expression towards his benefactor.

"Also, if he is allowed to ascend the throne and look at the expressions of these officials in the Ryukyus, I'm afraid he won't be convinced!" Wu Daofu is also rejoicing, judging from today's experience, the more he contacts Wu Daofu, the more he feels that Shang Zhiwu is not as good as Shang Feng, and judging from the current Ryukyu erosion situation, there is really such a king as Shang Feng to control the overall situation, so that it is possible for the Ryukyu Kingdom to recover as soon as possible and develop.

Wu Daofu also knew that Zhao Xingdou Hongtang's garrison of Amami City was just an expedient measure, and sooner or later one day Zhao Xingdou and they would leave and return to the Huludao base, after all, that was the center of gravity of the Bengang team.

And the speed at which Zhao Xingdou and them go and stay sooner or later depends largely on the ability of the successor king of the Ryukyus.

And the Ryukyu sailor who Wu Daofu has devoted his heart and soul to needs a powerful king who can give him more support to help him behind the scenes. Obviously, Shang Zhiwu is good at paying lip service, but his performance in actual ability is lower than that of Prince Shang Feng!

It's just that faintly, Wu Daofu began to worry about whether Shang Feng's ascension to the throne in the future would bring more obstacles to the Bengang team because of Prince Shangfeng's excellence!

But thinking about the young master Li Tianyang, whom he respected so much, Wu Daofu immediately shook his head and threw away this bad thought.
