In Tianxia Palace, everyone's eyes were focused on Xia Tian.
Will he agree?
At this moment, the prince's eyes flashed with cold light, and he hated that his eyes could not turn into sword light and could not poke eighteen holes in Xia Tian's body.
The emperor still wants to appoint a regent when the prince is here. This is not an insult to the prince, but a naked disregard for the prince!
Why did Daxia enfeoff the princes?
I am afraid that the princes will fight for power with the prince!
Throughout the ages, no matter which dynasty, the prince, as the crown prince and the next generation of emperor, is the only one among the princes who can get involved in politics.
Because multiple princes are involved in politics, there will inevitably be fights and chaos in the court!
Now it seems that Emperor Xia is going to change everything!
He wants to set up the position of regent. In the eyes of the ministers, he means to win over the second prince.
The choice of the crown prince of Daxia will become complicated and confusing.
It is foreseeable that the situation in the DPRK will be chaotic.
Although, Ninth Prince Xia Tian has a special bloodline and cannot become a real prince.
But once this line is opened, the other princes will definitely be ready to take action.
at this time.
The atmosphere in Tianxia Palace was solemn.
Everyone stared at Xia Tian closely, waiting for him to speak.
Seeing Xia Tian's lips tightly closed, Emperor Xia gave a rare gentle smile: "Xiaojiu, this is not the will!"
"But I am asking for your opinion!"
"This year there has been a catastrophic disaster. The Great Xia Empire has encountered unprecedented difficulties. I need someone to share my worries. I want to entrust you with a heavy responsibility. Are you willing?"
finally.
Xia Tian opened his mouth and said: "Father, it's not that my son is unwilling, but I really can't accept the position of regent!"
Suddenly, the princeling breathed a sigh of relief!
Emperor Xia frowned: "Why not?"
Xia Xia said seriously: "Father, there is a prince in the court and Daxia's ministers. They will definitely be able to help Daxia sort out its national affairs and survive this year's famine!"
"The number of low-class people and refugees in my barren state has reached nearly one million. If my son doesn't go back to handle the political affairs of the barren state, disaster will definitely happen."
"If the Sirius Empire takes advantage of the chaos and fights, Huangzhou will be in crisis again!"
"This matter in Huangzhou is related to the safety of Daxia. Please be aware of it, Father!"
"Now, I just want to return to Huangzhou as soon as possible to stabilize the situation in Huangzhou and stabilize the borders of our Great Xia Empire!"
The murderous intent in the prince's eyes was slightly reduced, and he gave Xia Tian a knowing look.
What Xia Tian said is very pertinent!
Emperor Xia's frown deepened: "Xiao Jiu, don't you think you can control the situation in Huangzhou if you're not here?"
Xia Xia nodded: "The imperial capital is too far away from the Huangzhou. I really can't control the Huangzhou from the imperial capital. Please take a closer look!"
The hundreds of thousands of untouchables and refugees in Huangzhou are now the trump card in Xia Tian's hand.
At this time.
Cao Wei stepped out and said: "Your Majesty, what the Ninth Prince said is absolutely true!"
"If there is chaos in Huangzhou, the Sirius people will definitely take the opportunity to invade, which will make the results of this great victory in Huangzhou come to naught. Please be careful, Your Majesty!"
Suddenly, the princelings all agreed.
This is expected in summer.
The prince, I absolutely do not want him to fight for power in the imperial capital.
Therefore, there is no need for Li Jian and Sima Jian to take action, and the princelings will speak for him.
Emperor Xia closed his eyes and sighed quietly: "That's it!"
"The matter in Huangzhou is related to the safety of the country, please let me think about it again!"
Xia Tian took advantage of the situation and said: "Father, Emperor Shengming!"
At this time.
The Prime Minister on the right took out a memorial from his sleeve and said: "Your Majesty, after discussion with the ministers and others, we have collected thirty additional taxes this time. Please take a look at it!"
The young eunuch quickly stepped forward to take the memorial and respectfully handed it to Emperor Xia.
Emperor Xia opened it and looked at it for a moment: "That's right!"
Although he doesn't know the content, Xia Tian can be sure that after these new taxes are apportioned, the lives of the poor people in the world will be even more difficult.
But, there is nothing he can do now.
After leaving the court.
Xia Xia went to the harem to pay respects to Concubine Qin: "Concubine, my father is going to conduct a large-scale manhunt throughout the city, and the people from the Qianlong Society will be lurking for the time being."
Concubine Qin's eyes flashed with wisdom: "Don't worry Tian'er, he can't find it."
"If he could have found it, he would have found it all these years ago!"
Xia Tian was very curious about where Qianlong would be hiding in the imperial capital, but he didn't ask any questions.
Secrets, the fewer people know about them, the better.
Xia Tian checked Concubine Qin's body again and found that there was no remaining poison.
When Xia Tian leaves the palace.
The four major city gates in the east, south, west and north of the imperial capital have been closed, and the streets of the imperial capital have been cleared. There is no one in the broad daylight.
At this time, people from the Patrol Battalion, the Imperial City Department, and the Criminal Department are jointly conducting house-to-house searches!
From time to time, the sound of fighting would be heard in the city, and the smell of blood would envelope the imperial capital from time to time.
This time, all the underground gangs and unidentified people in the imperial capital were arrested. If they resisted, they would all be executed without mercy.
After Xia Tian returned to the Ninth Prince's Mansion, he ordered everyone not to go out until the martial law was lifted in the imperial capital.
Du Yue'er and others stayed at the Ninth Prince's Mansion, working hard to rehearse the performance for the opening of the Huangzhou store.
Three days later.
early morning.
The search in the imperial capital has come to an end.
The prisons of the Criminal Department and the Imperial City Prison are already overcrowded. There are fewer ghosts and ghosts in the underground of the imperial capital, and the streets are clean!
Immediately afterwards, the city gates opened and the imperial capital lifted the ban.
At this time.
Eunuch Wei hurriedly entered the Ninth Prince's Mansion: "Your Majesty has spoken, the envoy led by Princess Tianlang has arrived. Your Majesty will host a dinner tonight. Please attend on time, Ninth Prince!"
Xia Xia received the order: "Eunuch Wei, who else is attending tonight?"
"The prince and a group of important officials!"
Speaking of this, Eunuch Wei reminded: "Your Majesty, Princess Tianlang has brought several literati. I heard that they are all admirers of Princess Tianlang. They have great power behind her. They want to compete with you in poetry. Your Majesty must be prepared." !”
Xia Tian was stunned: "Do you want to fight against poetry?"
Eunuch Wei nodded: "Yes!"
Xia Tian smiled enigmatically: "Okay!"
"I am waiting for them!"
Then.
Eunuch Wei looked around and whispered: "The whole city was searched and some small fish and shrimps from the Rebirth Sect were caught. They were all imprisoned in the Imperial City Department. If the results of the trial are found, the old slave will send a message as soon as possible. Your Majesty!"
Xia Tian looked at Eunuch Wei directly: "Isn't Eunuch from the Rebirth Cult?"
Eunuch Wei shrank his neck: "Your Majesty, how can this old slave be a member of the Rebirth Cult?"
Xia Tian smiled meaningfully: "That day in Huangzhou, when I asked this question, my father-in-law pointed behind me, but didn't say anything. Could it be that you are my mother's descendant?"
Eunuch Wei shook his head: "Your Majesty, don't force me to talk nonsense!"
"Anyway, the old slave has no intention of harming the prince!"
"If the prince has orders, just give them directly!"
Xia Tian was noncommittal: "Among the people arrested this time, are there Blackman warriors?"
Eunuch Wei nodded: "Yes!"
"Your Majesty has seen that the imperial concubine has been poisoned. This time, your Majesty will interrogate her personally. If you ask about the situation, I will inform the prince!"
Suddenly, a question came to Xia Tian's mind: "Is my father a master in the master realm?"
Eunuch Wei shook his head: "I don't know!"
"Your Majesty's martial arts cultivation is unknown in the world!"
After saying that, Eunuch Wei hurriedly said goodbye and left.
At this time.
Bai Hu walked into the study and said: "Your Majesty, Mr. Tianji brought a stunning beauty to ask for an audience!"
Xia Tian raised his eyelids: "Please come in!"
"yes!"
Shortly after.
Mr. Tianji, who was disguised as a man, took a stunning girl into the study room.
