The current Crown Prince of the Great Tang Dynasty, Zhang Hui, was the son of the late Emperor Zhang Qilong.
Zhang Hui, the sole son of Zhang Qilong, had been established as the East Palace Crown Prince while his father was still alive.
However, due to the supernatural unrest in the Western Regions, Zhang Qilong suffered grievous wounds that could not heal. After returning to the Capital City, he managed to hold on for a period but ultimately passed away.
After the Emperor's death, the Crown Prince was still very young, merely ten years old.
In this world of cultivators, such a situation could hardly be described by the old saying, "When the sovereign is young, the state is unsure."
Or rather, age was not the crux of the matter.
Even if he were still in swaddling clothes, as long as he was a cultivator of the Upper Three Heavens, others might have tacitly accepted his ascension to the throne.
Unfortunately, the Crown Prince was not.
