Zhao Yu had been extremely restless lately; he didn't understand why his father always targeted him—when it came to capability, he was far superior to that damned older brother of his.
The regions that supported him provided tens of millions in taxes and revenue to the Dahua Empire every year, and through his own "connections," he was able to obtain many advanced technologies from the Great Tang Empire.
No matter how one looked at it, his elder brother was a complete waste of space. Zhao Ji only blindly supported Zhao Kai, knowing nothing except for currying favor through flattery!
Yet, it was precisely such a sycophantic Crown Prince who was considered so important. Even if it meant going against public opinion, his father, Emperor Zhao Kai, had no intention of letting him, Zhao Yu, take that spot as the Crown Prince!
