The princes have been taught it since childhood and are very familiar with it!
When the direction of the emperor's question was unclear, Xia Tian and the other princes said in unison: "My son and I are stupid, please tell me, father!"
"Hahaha"
Emperor Xia looked at the mountain of corpses and sea of blood below the city, and laughed coldly: "First of all, the second brother, the third child, and the fifth child. If you can come here after listening to the announcement, it means that you still have me as your father in your hearts, and you also know that you are the elder. The prince of Xia knows that he is the prince of the Great Xia Empire and knows me."
Having said this, Emperor Xia raised his eyelids, endless murderous intent pouring out of his eyes, and said word by word: "Do you still know that I am your father?"
"Plop"
The three princes looked frightened and buried their heads on the ground to defend themselves: "Father, my son and I are guilty!"
"Before coming to the imperial capital, my sons and ministers heard the news that the wealthy families in the imperial capital were going to rebel!"
"The sons and ministers were greatly shocked and panicked. Worried about their father's safety, they immediately forcibly recruited the strong men in the fiefdom and formed a royal army to come to the imperial capital to quell the chaos!"
"Father, your ministers led troops to the imperial capital without the decree of the imperial court. This is a serious crime. Please punish them!
The second prince, the third prince, and the fifth prince knew that Emperor Xia did not dare to punish their crimes, but the prince led his army back to the imperial capital and attacked the city without any intention. His behavior was undoubtedly treason, and the court must step down!
"Why"
Emperor Xia sighed deeply, his acting skills were beyond doubt: "Although it is against the laws of Daxia for you to bring troops back to the imperial capital, seeing that you are suppressing the rebellion and are worried about my safety, I will not hold you accountable! "
Everything was as expected by the three princes: "Thank you, father!"
Next, the emperor should call them to stand up and negotiate terms!
But, no!
"Keep your head up!"
Emperor Xia did not ask them to get up, but asked with doubts in his eyes: "What happened to those Heiman Poison Army who released poison earlier?"
The second prince, the third prince, and the fifth prince were stunned!
They didn't expect the emperor to ask this question!
at this time.
"Zongheng Tianxia, a disciple of the Zongheng School, wants to see His Majesty the Emperor?"
Coming from Zongheng Tianxia, he is respectful and courteous, and his attitude is respectful!
Emperor Xia raised his eyes, with an expression that seemed to be a smile but not a smile: "Come here!"
"yes!"
Zongheng Tianxia came respectfully: "Ancestors send greetings to Your Majesty!"
Emperor Xia narrowed his eagle eyes and looked at him with endless domineering power: "In the past few days, people have come out from time to time claiming to be disciples of the Zongheng School. Now I am very confused about how many disciples your Zongheng School has?"
"Are you Zongheng disciples real or fake?"
Zongheng Tianxia said in a neither humble nor arrogant manner: "Reporting to your Majesty, the ancestor of my family will be released from seclusion soon, and will come to meet Your Majesty then. Then Your Majesty can verify the authenticity?"
"The Zongheng disciples who appeared in the Daxia Empire before are more or less related to the Zongheng Mountain Sect, and can barely be regarded as disciples of the Zongheng School!"
Emperor Xia asked curiously: "Ancestor Zongheng is really still alive?"
"yes!"
"Hehehe"
Emperor Xia smiled meaningfully and stopped asking: "I heard that you are the military advisor to my three princes!"
"yes!"
"I am so lucky to be appreciated by three princes!"
"Okay, let's start your quibbles!"
"Your Majesty, please forgive me!"
Zongheng Tianxia's face stiffened. The emperor's words were sharp and difficult to deceive: "Your Majesty, this is an explanation!"
"As the strategist of the three princes and a minister of His Majesty, I really need to explain clearly why the poisonous army of the Black Man Empire is with us? Why they used poison to attack the imperial capital, so that the truth can be made known to the world!"
"explain!"
"According to the order!"
Zongheng Tianxia explained seriously: "After we raised our troops, we met this masked Heiman brigade on the road. They lied that they were from the army of King Qin of Qingzhou and showed the Qingzhou Tiger Talisman to the minister. Therefore, the three princes and The common people were deceived by him, so they went with him all the way to the imperial capital to quell the chaos!"
"It's just that none of the three princes and the common people thought that they were the Black Man Poison Army!"
After saying that, Zongheng Tianxia took out a tiger charm from his arms. The word "Qingzhou" carved on the tiger's body was so conspicuous!
The emperor's eyes flashed with wonder, and he thought thoughtfully: "The Black Man Empire borders Qingzhou. It would make sense if he stole the Qingzhou soldier talisman and masked himself as the Qingzhou army to come to the imperial capital!"
"If this Qingzhou Tiger Talisman is real, it means you have really been deceived!"
"Come here, show the Qingzhou Tiger Talisman to the Taiwei to see if it is true?"
"yes!"
The young eunuch took the tiger talisman and passed it to Li Jian, who was already beside Long Chu: "Sir Taiwei, your majesty, please tell whether this tiger talisman is genuine or not?"
Li Jian took it, looked at the "brand new" word Qingzhou on the tiger talisman, and said with certainty: "This is exactly the Qingzhou soldier talisman. If it matches the other half of the soldiers in the military department, it can mobilize the troops and horses in Qingzhou!"
"Your Majesty, it seems that the military symbols have indeed been stolen by the Black Man Empire!"
Emperor Xia looked at the "brand new" character "Qingzhou" engraved on the tiger talisman and said: "Li Fei, the governor of Qingzhou, failed to manage the tiger talisman well and almost caused a catastrophe. He is guilty!"
"yes!"
Seeing the calm and calm Li Jian in the presence of the old god, Emperor Xia sighed in his heart that this old guy understands him!
He continued: "However, since his adoptive father, Taiwei Li Jian, has made great contributions to quelling the chaos, I will use my father's merits to make up for his son's mistakes, and verbally warn him that if there is a next time, he will be dealt with according to the laws of the empire!"
"yes!"
Li Jian looked grateful and said: "Your Majesty is wise!"
He is already a Taiwei, and he has made great contributions to quelling the chaos this time, but he has no reward. He just used Li Fei's "unfounded" accusation of throwing the tiger charm to make the credit disappear!
Therefore, it doesn’t matter even if the explanations given by Zongheng Tianxia and the three princes are all flawed!
The emperor's intention is very clear. Even if the second prince, third prince, and fifth prince collude with the Black Man Empire, they will never be held accountable for the time being!
This is the tacit understanding between king and minister!
at this time.
Zongheng Tianxia and the three princes finally felt relieved: "Your Majesty is wise!"
Emperor Xia looked at the three princes, with a look of disappointment deep in his eyes, and said seriously: "You must use this incident as a warning, and you must not be deceived by the enemy forces of Heiman in the future!"
"yes!"
"Get up!"
The three princes then stood up and glanced at Xia Tian provocatively!
"Hehehe"
Xia Tian smiled faintly: "Congratulations to the three prince brothers for their successful sophistry, but for their successful explanation!"
The second prince, the third prince, the fifth prince, Zhiheng Tianxia’s face turned dark!
The third prince uttered murderous intent: "Brother Ninth Prince, we didn't see our father come forward just now. We thought that his father had encountered something unexpected or was controlled by a villain, so we attacked the city recklessly. Please forgive me!"
"No problem!"
"You have many people!"
Xia Tian raised his eyelids and said seriously: "Brother Wang, please call me His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
The expressions of the three princes and Zongheng Tianxia changed!
"Father!"
At this moment, even a fool could see the dissatisfied look on the third prince's face: "Is the imperial court really going to make the ninth prince's brother the crown prince?"
"yes!"
Emperor Xia looked at the show with an expression on his face: "The third child has any objections?"
"yes!"
Xia Tian stared at the Third Prince and asked word for word: "Brother Third Prince, are you still not convinced?"
"How about we fight again?"
"Want to make a bet by the way?"
Suddenly.
Emperor Xia thought of the Lion in front of the East Palace Gate. It was very big and heavy!
Li Jian also thought of the two stone lions, which were carved very ferociously!
Sima Jian also thought of the two stone lions and felt that those two stone lions were a bit evil!
