Everyone lowered their heads, for fear of being named by the emperor.
Emperor Xia stared directly at Cao Wei and said: "Right Prime Minister, I heard that your family opened that gambling house?"
"Plop"
Cao Wei knelt down directly: "You are wronged!"
"Your Majesty, I have nothing to do with that gambling house!"
"Yeah?"
Emperor Xia took a sales contract from Eunuch Wei: "This has the autograph and fingerprints of the Right Prime Minister's wife. Your wife purchased this gambling house three days ago!"
Then, Eunuch Wei handed the contract to Cao Wei: "Right Prime Minister, please tell the authenticity!"
Cao Wei's heart sank, and he secretly cursed the tigress at home for causing harm to others. He must divorce his wife after returning home!
"Your Majesty, this looks like a trap. Someone wants to harm me!"
"Your majesty is wise and can see clearly that I am really wronged!"
Emperor Xia was noncommittal and looked at the prince again: "Prince, what do you think of this matter?"
The prince said with an innocent face: "Father, this was not done by my son."
Emperor Xia frowned: "You think I suspect that you want to kill your brother?"
"Plop"
The prince also knelt down!
"Father, my sons and ministers will never dare to kill brothers!"
Emperor Xia narrowed his eagle eyes and said with a sense of oppression: "Then who do you think did this?"
The prince shook his head: "I really don't know!"
"Then take a guess!"
The prince could only grit his teeth and said, "It must have been done by the enemies of the Nine Emperor Brothers."
"oh?"
A half-smiling expression appeared on Emperor Xia's face: "What enemies does your Nine Emperor Brother have?"
The prince raised his head: "A lot! A lot! A lot!"
"On the way to Huangzhou, the Nine Emperor Brothers killed bandits along the way and issued a "bandit killing order". Therefore, all the evil bandits in the world are the enemies of the Nine Emperor Brothers!"
"When the Nine Emperors Brother entered Huangzhou, he chopped off the heads of the foreign tribes in Huangzhou to build Jingguan. Therefore, he is the enemy of the foreign tribes in the mountains of Huangzhou."
"Later, the Sirius invaded Huangzhou, and the Nine Emperor Brother issued the "Wolf Killing Order" and killed many Sirius cavalry in Huangzhou. Therefore, he is the enemy of the Sirius."
Speaking of this, the prince added: "Also, the Nine Emperors brother married Sima Lan, the most beautiful woman in Great Xia, as his princess. He is the enemy of Sima Lan's admirers."
"The Nine Emperor Brothers seduced Du Yue'er, a beauty from the south of the Yangtze River, and asked her to give up her position as head of the family and defect to Huangzhou. Everyone in the world who admires Du Yuer'er is the enemy of the Nine Emperor Brothers!"
"During the Battle of Huangzhou, he followed Lieutenant Li and kidnapped Princess Tianlang, and he was the enemy of Princess Tianlang's admirer!"
The more the prince talked, the more he felt he was right: "So, it is not an exaggeration to say that the Nine Emperor Brothers have enemies all over the world!"
"I really don't know who wants to kill him?"
at this time.
Emperor Xia looked at Prince Xia Yu as if he were a fool!
Cao Wei's face was also livid. He knelt on the ground and gritted his teeth. He really wanted to rush up and bite this stupid prince!
Originally, the prince wanted to tell everyone that Xia Tian was cruel and lustful, and had enemies all over the world.
He actually wanted to give eye drops to Emperor Xia and the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty.
However, the story of Xia Tian and the beauties has long been told by novelists as a good story, which not only does not damage his image, but also makes people admire him.
As for killing bandits, killing aliens, and killing werewolves, these are all Xia Tian's achievements in the past six months.
What a great achievement!
so.
All the ministers in the palace were silent!
Thinking back to half a year ago, the young prince who went to the deserted state alone and was judged not to be able to reach the territory alive, not only came back alive, but also did these things that shocked the world.
He did what countless people wanted to do but couldn't.
In the past six months, the young prince has shown unparalleled intelligence and fearless courage, showing the world what it means to be a saint within and a king outside?
If the prince didn't mention it, the ministers in the palace would not think deeply about it.
At this time, the more they thought about it, the more they felt that Xia Tian was the suitable person to inherit the Great Xia Empire!
Therefore, all forces looked at Xia Tian as if they were a thorn in their side and a thorn in their flesh!
And those important ministers who had not taken sides looked at Xia Tian as if they were looking at a peerless treasure.
Suddenly, Xia Tian's popularity suddenly rose in the main hall.
Emperor Xia looked at the main hall and said calmly: "Get up!"
"I believe you will not kill your brother!"
"Your Majesty is wise!"
Cao Wei and the princelings quickly flattered him!
Emperor Xia's face was expressionless, and his eagle eyes scanned the princes one by one: "I believe that what happened last night was not done by anyone in the palace!"
"Li Taiwei, Prime Minister on the left, Prime Minister on the right!"
"I'm here!"
Li Jian, Sima Jian, and Cao Wei quickly bowed and responded.
Emperor Xia said with murderous intent: "I believe that the people behind these killers are still in the city, so I immediately closed the four city gates and mobilized people from the patrol camp and the Ministry of Punishment to conduct a city-wide manhunt!"
"Everyone with unknown origins will be arrested and interrogated. The person behind the assassination of the Ninth Prince must be caught!"
"Old man, the Imperial City Division also obeys the orders of Lieutenant Li, the Prime Minister on the left and the Prime Minister on the right."
"yes!"
Eunuch Wei took the order and read a book.
Li Jian, Sima Jian and Cao Wei took the orders.
Suddenly.
Xia Tian knew that the mastermind behind last night's assassination was the aloof Emperor Xia.
He also understood the meaning of assassinating him last night!
That was to find a reason for a city-wide manhunt, and the targets of the manhunt were the people of the Rebirth Sect.
Because when he returned to the imperial capital, he would search for people from the Qianlong Club.
Or, the emperor had other unknown purposes.
His method of taking advantage of me is really good.
Immediately afterwards.
Emperor Xia looked at Xia Tian gently and said: "The prince just said that you have enemies all over the world, but he is actually doing it for you!"
"These enemies of yours are all people the court wants to kill!"
"Of course, except for your love rivals!"
"Hahaha"
All the ministers in the palace heard the emperor's ridicule and laughed together.
Emperor Xia also gave a rare smile: "Since you entered the wilderness, you have killed evil bandits, evil aliens, and werewolves. You have made countless achievements, but you have never done anything to show your merits. It shows that you have a humble heart. I am very pleased. !”
"But, having said this, I and the imperial court cannot pretend that we don't know!"
"My dear friends, has the Ninth Prince performed meritorious service to the imperial court?"
"yes!"
Having said this, the ministers in the palace said sincerely: "Your Majesty is wise, the Ninth Prince has made great contributions to Daxia!"
Emperor Xia said with a pleased look on his face: "The Ninth Prince deserves a reward for his merits in Sheji!"
"But he is already a prince with a fief, how should he be rewarded?"
As soon as these words came out.
All the ministers in the palace looked at Prince Xia Yu unconsciously!
If I get another reward, I can only become a prince!
The prince felt a chill running down his spine and thought to himself that something was wrong!
The dead nine want to seize the throne!
Emperor Xia then said: "Recently, someone always tells me that Xiaojiu is a sage inside and a king outside, and he is a talented person in governing the country!"
"Emperor Tianlang even sent a private message, saying that as long as I let Xiaojiu go to the Tianlang Empire, he will marry the eldest princess Huyan Duo'er and the little princess Huyan Juhua to Xiao Jiu."
"Besides, he doesn't want the money we paid for compensation."
Suddenly, Manchao was shocked!
Does Emperor Sirius appreciate the Ninth Prince so much?
Isn't there a feud?
Emperor Xia was very satisfied with the effect and looked solemn: "So, I want to set up the position of regent in the court, and the ninth prince will serve as it. What do you think?"
Emperor Xia finally spoke out!
"Xiaojiu, are you willing to serve as the regent of the imperial court?"
