Chapter 612 Emperor Xia’s thoughts are unpredictable
now.
Prince Xia Bao's heart is being pulled!
A voice told him: "Since you have seen through the old man's tricks, if you want to survive, then first pretend to be nice to the old man, and then kill him so that he can no longer shake his position as the crown prince!"
Another voice told him: "It is better to kill the old man than to kill Lao Jiu. It would be easier to usurp the throne directly!"
"Then you don't have to suffer like this anymore!"
The prince thought of his private army in the mountains of Yangzhou!
Since the old man can usurp the throne with his army, so can he!
Thinking of this, Xia Bao could no longer control the ambition in his heart. He buried his head directly and stared at the ground, not daring to let Emperor Xia see his eyes!
A moment later, when he raised his eyes again, the light of ambition in his eyes had disappeared!
Instead, there was a face full of remorse: "Father, your teachings to my son, I will remember them in my heart1"
"Everything will be as Father wishes!"
Emperor Xia's expression improved a little: "What are you going to do after you leave the imperial study today?"
Xia Bao said seriously: "Donggong is going to purchase daily necessities recently. I heard that the goods in the Huangzhou store are the best, so I decided to take the officials from the Donggong to the Huangzhou Department Store to buy them together!"
Emperor Xia's face finally looked much better: "This is the magnanimity of a prince!"
"then you go!"
"yes!"
The prince excused himself with a respectful look on his face: "My son, please excuse me!"
Prince Xia went berserk!
Emperor Xia looked at his back after turning around with a meaningful look in his eyes.
After a while.
Emperor Xia said: "Xiao Chunzi, go down and receive the reward!"
"yes!"
Xiaochunzi knew that her mission had been completed, and she respectfully exited the imperial study room!
Emperor Xia then opened the secret report from the Imperial City Department, read it carefully for a long time before putting it away and said: "Prime Minister Zuo, Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, you are all old men of the imperial court, so I want to continue chatting with you about the topic just now! "
The old face of the Minister of Household Affairs was full of persistence: "Your Majesty, for the sake of the future of the empire, I will go to court tomorrow morning and ask the court to appoint His Royal Highness King Huangzhou as the right minister of the court, and also request that King Huangzhou be allowed to enter the imperial capital as the prime minister as soon as possible!"
Sima Jian also said: "Your Majesty, since you have made up your mind, the old minister will not shy away from relatives in favor of talents. Tomorrow morning, the old minister will also request the court to appoint His Highness the King of Huangzhou as the right minister, and propose that His Highness handle the affairs of Huangzhou as soon as possible. , return to the court as soon as possible!"
"Why"
Emperor Xia looked outside the imperial study room and sighed: "Tomorrow, there will be a fierce debate in the court!"
The Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue was very determined: "Your Majesty, please obey the authority in urgent matters!"
"Now that the national treasury is empty, the early tax collection has displaced the people of our empire, which has caused the current situation in Huangzhou. If the king of Huangzhou does not return to the court, the imperial court will not be able to pay out the salary for the next month!"
"At that point, the entire empire will cease to function!"
"The old minister can retire and return home!"
Emperor Xia: ""
Is this old guy threatening him?
It seems true!
Sima Jian also said seriously: "The war on the mainland is about to ignite. If our Great Xia Empire doesn't even have the money and food to fight the war, your Majesty should have thought more deeply about the consequences than I do!"
After hearing this, Emperor Xia's eyes became more determined: "Tomorrow's morning meeting, you made this request, no matter how many people objected, you all stood up to me!"
At this time.
Sima Jianhui reported: "Your Majesty, before entering the palace, I received an urgent report from Huangzhou that the Zongheng ancestor was fake. After the Huangzhou Taoism Conference, the fake Zongheng ancestor disappeared!"
"Huangzhou has informed Lieutenant Li of Qingzhou about this situation!"
"Now, Lieutenant Li has left Qingzhou and is on his way back to the imperial capital. He has come back specifically to explain this matter!"
Emperor Xia was overjoyed when he heard this!
He had never thought of Li Jian so much: "If this old guy can come back, then I don't have to worry about those censors and old ministers seeking death and survival!"
"How long does it take for him to come back?"
Sima Jian knew this was the result: "We set out five days ago. According to Lieutenant Li's impatience, we will be able to return to the imperial capital in about eight days!"
Emperor Xia calculated the time: "Xiao Jiu's Huangzhou matter has not been settled so quickly. We can wait another eight days for the old guy to return to the court. We will start this matter and it will be done!"
Sima Jian and the Secretary of the Ministry of Finance were convinced!
If someone talks to the emperor, Lieutenant Li will stand upright with his sword across the sword, and he will be invincible!
It was totally worth waiting eight days!
The three of you, the monarch and your ministers, decided happily!
Then.
The monarch and his ministers talked for a long time, and then Emperor Xia watched Sima Jian and the Minister of Hubu leave.
Then, he hurried to Gushan Palace.
In the yard.
Concubine Qin was sitting on a chair, looking into the void with a haggard look on her face!
Emperor Xia stood at the door of the courtyard, feeling very sad when he saw it!
At this time.
Eunuch Wei was about to open his throat and roar: "Your Majesty is here!"
But Emperor Xia stopped him!
Then.
He walked quickly into the courtyard, gently took Concubine Qin's hand and said: "My dear concubine, the Imperial Master of the Black Man Empire is already working on an antidote. Although it cannot completely remove the poison you have been poisoned by, it can alleviate your pain." Painful! "
Concubine Qin looked so weak and pitiful: "Your Majesty, no need!"
"My concubine's body knows that she may not be able to survive this time!"
"In these last days, I still have His Majesty's love, and I am very contented!"
Suddenly, Emperor Xia's heart ached even more!
He held Concubine Qin's weak and boneless hand tightly in his palm, as if he had grasped the most precious thing in the world, and he held it tighter and tighter: "My beloved, don't think about it, I have recruited famous doctors from all over the world and asked them to come to the imperial capital to treat the disease." You detoxify!”
Speaking of which.
Emperor Xia looked in the direction of the enshrinement hall: "We still have time. As long as we break open the Jixia underground palace, there will definitely be a fairy medicine inside to cure your poison!"
Concubine Qin gave a feeble smile, which seemed so forced, which made Emperor Xia even more heartbroken: "Your Majesty, is there any news from my Tian'er?"
Emperor Xia's ruthless eagle eyes were actually a little moist, and he said with some interference in his throat: "Yes!"
"The Taoism Conference he held in Huangzhou was very successful. Even the Confucian peacock gave him half a master's ceremony. He gained the respect of hundreds of schools of thought!"
"This time, millions of untouchables and refugees entered the deserted state, and he made good arrangements!"
"My beloved concubine, I will recruit him back to the court to serve as right minister!"
Concubine Qin was a little shocked: "Your Majesty, there is no precedent for this from ancient times to the present!"
Emperor Xia said with firm eyes: "Then start from me, and we'll have it!"
"Don't worry, my beloved, I will pave the way for him to enter the imperial court!"
However, Concubine Qin is even more worried!
When Emperor Xia asked Tian'er to enter the court, it was definitely not just as simple as appointing him as right minister!
What exactly does he want to do?
She looks even paler!
Eight days later.
Early morning in the Great Xia Dynasty.
After the monarch and his ministers meet!
The eunuch outside the palace shouted excitedly: "Li Taiwei returns to the court and asks to see His Majesty!"
"Xuan!"
"yes!"
then.
Li Jianlong walked into the Tianxia Palace with a tiger's stride, his eyes full of fighting intent.
