Chapter 377 Concubine Shu's Thanks
Imperial study room, square in front of the hall.
Lin Xiu wanted to abolish the old prince and make the King of Qin the new prince, and asked everyone present if anyone wanted to object.
Duke Ding wanted to object because Lin Xiu wanted to depose the prince, their family.
The Duke of the Song family also wanted to object, but he did not oppose the deposed crown prince, but he hoped that the new crown prince would be the King of Qi.
Duke Wei also wanted to object, and Lin Xiu had a grudge against him for killing his son, and he wanted to object to whatever Lin Xiu agreed with.
But none of them spoke.
The powerful ancestor of the Zhang family, the strongest man in Daxia, was lying at Lin Xiu's feet at this moment. The moment he was still as powerful as a rainbow, and the next moment, he lay quietly on the ground.
Not only that, they can also feel the existence of the Yuan power in their bodies at this moment, but they cannot mobilize the Yuan power, as if they have become an ordinary person.
How can I object to this?
It is a threat, and he has the strength to threaten them.
They didn't even figure out what was going on.
Lin Xiu was not only promoted to the Heavenly Level, but his ability was even more powerful and strange. At this moment, he was the well-deserved strongest man in Daxia. The Lin family is also the first family in Daxia. Their family is even stronger than the joint efforts of all the powerful families in Daxia. He said that whoever is the crown prince is the crown prince.
This is how the Zhang family used to be.
After a moment of silence, Duke Wei took the lead and spoke: "The King of Qin is a talented person, extraordinary skill and outstanding ability, and is more suitable for the position of prince."
An old prince from the royal family said, "The royal family has no objection."
Whether it is the crown prince or the king of Qin, they are all children of the royal family. From the perspective of the entire royal family, there is no difference between who is the crown prince.
The Duke of Qi then spoke: "The Qi family agrees."
Anyway, no matter who becomes the prince, it has nothing to do with the Qi family. He has no need and has no strength to oppose Lin Xiu.
After a moment of silence, the ancestor of the Song family also spoke: "The Song family has no objection."
He had already seen that Lin Xiu had already thought of appointing the King of Qin as the crown prince. In today's Daxia, as long as the Lin family wants to do, there is nothing that cannot be done. When they want to make the King of Qin as the crown prince, the King of Qi would have no chance at all.
It's ridiculous. The prince and the King of Qi have been fighting for so long, and they don't know how many methods they have used openly and secretly, but in the end they have gained the advantage of another person.
The Duke of Dingguo did not speak out, and the overall situation was decided, and no matter what he said, it would be useless.
The prince stood at the door frame and stood at the door of the Imperial Study room for a long time. Seeing this scene, he finally couldn't help it and his body slowly slid down. He hugged the legs of Emperor Xia who had walked out of the Imperial Study room and begged: "Father, father, don't depose me, I want to be the Imperial Study room, I have been the Imperial Study since I was born..."
Emperor Xia looked down at him, sighed softly, and said, "If I had known this, why should I have been there?"
The prince completely collapsed on the ground, his expression gradually became muddy.
Emperor Xia walked to the square, looked at the old man lying on the ground, and asked Lin Xiu, "Is he okay?"
Lin Xiu said: "It's okay, I'm overly scared, I'll wake up after sleeping for a while."
Emperor Xia nodded, looked at Duke Ding and said, "The prince's actions are indeed too much. The reason is not tolerate, and the law is not tolerated. If the prince is not to be abolished, it is not enough to calm the public's anger, and we cannot give an explanation to the Lin family."
Duke Ding had accepted the reality and said hoarsely: "It depends on your Majesty."
Emperor Xia thought for a while and said, "The King of Qin is about to become the crown prince, but there is only one concubine. The etiquette and law are inappropriate. After he enters the Eastern Palace, he will add a few concubines to him. Let this matter be handled by Zhang Qing and Song Qing..."
When Duke Ding and the ancestor of the Song family heard this, they were stunned for a moment, and a light flashed in the old eyes.
Your Majesty's words are very meaningful.
The King of Qin is about to become the crown prince. His choice of concubines will be handed over to the Zhang family and the Song family. The two families will definitely give priority to their own women. Now the crown prince's concubine will be the imperial concubine when he ascends the throne in the future. Their descendants are also qualified to inherit the throne.
From this point of view, they actually have a chance, they are just waiting for more years.
In a sense, the King of Qin at that time was His Majesty now.
Emperor Xia looked back at the prince and said, "The prince has today, and the Zhang family has no choice but to blame him. From then on, Daxia will no longer establish the position of prince in advance. Among the princes, those who have both virtue and talent will pass on the throne..."
As soon as these words were spoken, the eyes of several dukes lit up.
If a prince is not established in advance, and those who have both moral integrity and talent are selected to pass on the throne, isn’t it said that in the future, there is no need to look at the strength of the family. Every family has a chance. If the concubine gives birth to a prince, as long as they educate them well, they should not be like the current prince, and there is a possibility of becoming a throne.
This has diluted the resentment between the Zhang family and the Song family to the greatest extent.
After calming down, think about it carefully, the Lin family cannot blame this matter. If they were Lin Xiu, they would only be more ruthless to the prince and the Zhang family. Lin Xiu was already showing mercy to the Zhang family, otherwise, the ancestor of the Zhang family would have fallen now...
Duke Ding clarified his mood, bowed to Lin Xiu, and said, "The Zhang family is wrong first. Thank you for your mercy..."
Duke Ding’s words are very sincere, which does not mean that he is a good person. Everything is determined by strength.
Lin Xiu's strength is not as strong as the Zhang family, so they don't pay attention to him at all.
When his strength can crush the Zhang family, they will become extremely humble and sincere, will actively compromise, and are willing to reason, but they just don’t know that when he knows that Zhang Jing was killed by him, they will be less polite to him.
A fierce conflict ended in a peaceful way under the mediation of Emperor Xia.
Whether it is the Zhang family or the Song family, the top powerful people like the Wangdu unanimously agreed to change the prince, but they didn't seem so reluctant. In order to appease them, in addition to choosing a concubine for Li Baizhang, Emperor Xia also chose a wave of concubines for himself. These big families know the preferences of Emperor Xia. In order to arrange forces in the harem, there are women over 30 years old and unmarried at home, so this time they simply send them to the palace together...
...
Deep in the palace, there is an uninhabited palace.
Lin Xiu and Ling Jun Lingyin walked into the palace and saw a short figure sitting next to the stone table in the palace courtyard. Overnight, there were strands of white hair on the prince's head, which made him look like he was twenty years old.
His face was pale and bloodless, and he stared blankly at the front. Someone came in. He didn't even look at it, motionless, like an old tree.
After being deposed, he was placed under house arrest in the palace and was not allowed to step out of the palace gate for his whole life.
If it were someone else, he would have been Lingchi, but the blood of the royal family was flowing on him. Even if he did not inherit the advantages of Emperor Xia, he was still his son.
Lin Xiu once thought that one day in the future, when he has enough strength, he will be condescending and humiliating him with a condescending attitude as a winner when the prince is at his most downturn.
But at this moment, standing in the palace courtyard and looking at such a prince, he felt bored.
At the beginning, he did take the prince as his target, but now, he no longer needs to prove anything by overthrowing the prince, and his mentality has changed invisibly.
Lingyin was like Lin Xiu. Her expression was not angry or the pleasure of revenge. She was as unhappy as Lin Xiu. She just glanced at the prince and shook her head and said, "Let's go..."
When the three of them were about to leave the palace, a team of palace maids and eunuchs came in front of them.
Concubine Shu got off the ceremonial guard from afar and stood there waiting. Lin Xiu walked over and bowed, "I've seen Concubine Shu..."
Concubine Shu smiled and said, "I haven't thanked you for Zhanger's business..."
Lin Xiu also smiled and said, "You are polite. Among all the princes of Your Majesty, he is the most suitable person to inherit the throne."
Shufei said: "How many abilities Zhang'er has? I, a mother-in-law, know that if you hadn't helped him all the time, he wouldn't have been able to get to this point today. I really don't know how to thank you."
Lin Xiu laughed and said, "The King of Qin is my friend, and we have agreed long ago."
After a few greetings with Concubine Shu, Lin Xiu planned to leave.
Unexpectedly, when Empress Shu walked into the ceremonial guard, her feet became unstable and almost fell down. Lin Xiu subconsciously supported her and said, "Empress Dowager..."
As soon as he said something, his expression suddenly became stunned.
Just as he was supporting Concubine Shu, a force poured into his body from Concubine Shu.
Concubine Shu is actually a capable person!
Lin Xiu never knew it before, not only him, but even Li Baizhang didn't know it. Lin Xiu heard from him that Concubine Shu and Concubine did not awaken the strange technique...
At this moment, Concubine Shu had already re-emerged as a guard of ceremonies.
Lin Xiu stood on the palace road and looked up at Empress Shu.
The two looked at each other, Lin Xiu looked at Concubine Shu's eyes, and Concubine Shu also looked at Lin Xiu's eyes.
The two of them seemed to have said a word, but in fact they have said thousands of words.
A moment later, Lin Xiu and Concubine Shu smiled at each other. The palace maids left in the ceremonial guards, and Lin Xiu also turned around and left.
Concubine Shu's ability is actually to read the mind.
No wonder she could accurately guess the reward Lin Xiu wanted, no wonder Emperor Xia always said that Concubine Shu was the one who understood him the most, because in her eyes, there was no secret at all.
She is the one who hides the deepest in the entire harem.
Lin Xiu thought that he had hidden secrets very well, but he didn't know that Concubine Shu knew his secret a long time ago.
But she didn't say it.
As a mind-reading ability, she is very aware of the taboos of this ability.
If others know this ability, even the closest person will respect her and stay away from her.
What Lin Xiu did not expect was that he had just fulfilled his promise with Li Baizhang and had such unexpected gains.
Obviously, this was a thank-you gift from Concubine Shu. She knew that Lin Xiu's ability was a copy and took the initiative to give him this precious ability...
This is mind reading... Looking at the other person's eyes, you will know what they are thinking. For some people, this ability is more precious than any mental power, light, and dark...
