Chiba didn’t know where he got the confidence: “Father, you have the final say.”
Xuegou and Xuerui were delighted when they heard this, feeling that the prince had fallen into a trap.
Qianye was amused in her heart, "Xue Gou, I'm afraid you won't die fast enough if I beat you.
And Xuerui, starting from today, your good days have come to an end.
Xue Ye was very satisfied and wanted to see if Chiba had really learned any skills over the years he had been away.
"Okay, Gou'er, I allow you to compete with Big Brother."
Da da da
Suddenly, there was a burst of footsteps outside the meeting hall, and then a group of people poured into the hall.
Qianye glanced at it and saw that these people were none other than Prince Snow Star, and Xue Beng was also here.
There are also hundreds of royal members, all of whom are powerful royal officials.
Needless to say, these people must have been informed by Xuegou and the others.
After some guessing, I almost figured out that it was Xue Gou and Xue Rui who set up the game.
"I have met His Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
All the ministers said in unison.
Xue Ye glanced at the ministers. He didn't call him here, and his expression was not very good: "Xue Xing, what are you?"
Xuexing and the ministers looked at each other, and then exchanged glances with Xuegou and Xuerui: "Brother, we heard that the prince is back, so we came to take a look."
After hearing this, Xue Ye's face became brighter: "Well, you're here just in time. Gou'er plans to compete with Qinghe, so you guys are here and can watch it together."
"Okay, Your Majesty, we can't ask for more." Xuexing smiled slyly.
He has never liked Prince Xue Qinghe, but likes Xue Gou and Xue Beng.
I don’t like Xuerui very much either.
That’s why I called all the ministers to help Xue Gou.
"Yes, we also want to see how much the prince's strength has increased over the years."
"I can't wait any longer..."
The ministers accepted Xuexing's words and agreed.
"Father, I have one more thing to discuss with you." Xue Gou suddenly smiled slyly and made a request to Xue Ye.
Xue Ye was in a good mood, nodded and was very satisfied with this son.
Although he didn’t dislike the prince, he was quite attracted to Xue Gou’s talent, smooth tongue, and flattery: “Well Gou’er, let’s see.”
Xue Gou glanced at Qianye first, then looked at Xue Ye's face and smiled: "Father, you also understand that in the world of soul masters, there is a rule that strength is supreme, and our royal family is the same."
"Although the eldest brother is a prince, he has done nothing for so many years. He has been idle all day, eating, drinking and having fun without asking anything about government affairs. So I think he is unqualified as a prince."
"Secondly, I can't compliment the prince's strength. Since strength is supreme, and I am also a prince and of orthodox royal blood, I will compete with the prince this time. If I defeat him, then I will be stronger than him."
"If he is better than the eldest brother in all aspects, then he is not qualified to occupy the position of prince. Please ask my father to abolish the position of eldest brother as prince and make my son the prince."
This...
Xue Ye's face dropped. He had not thought about deposing the crown prince, and he did not expect that Xue Gou would propose it at this time.
Moreover, the prince is still a student of Ning Fengzhi, the leader of the Qibao Glazed Sect. If the prince is really deposed, there will probably be unpleasantness in the future.
However, for the sake of the Xue family royal family and the future of the Tiandou Empire, there are some things that cannot be influenced by others.
Looking at Xue Xing and the ministers again, Xue Ye finally understood why they came together uninvited behind Xue Gou and Xue Rui.
To be honest, as a father, he really doesn't want to see his sons hurting each other for power.
But after all, he is not only a father, but also the emperor of an empire, so he not only has to consider his own gains and losses, but also the ministers, the future of the empire, and the continuation of the family.
Therefore, it is understandable to choose the most promising prince to inherit the throne.
Deposing the crown prince is the only way out and it is inevitable.
Although he is overthinking it, it is wrong to distrust the prince.
It is very irrational and irresponsible to judge a person's quality based on his appearance, but people are often at odds with each other, and it is inevitable to be suspicious of each other on a snowy night.
Xue Ye thought for a while, and finally looked at the ministers with determination: "Xue Xing, ministers, what do you think?"
"Your Majesty, I think what the second prince said is very reasonable. Strength comes first. We need a prince with strength and brains, not a waste. Therefore, it is right for the second prince to compete with the prince and bet whoever wins will be crowned prince.
."
"I, Xuexing, can also testify that if Qinghe won today, his position as crown prince still exists. Now that the second prince has won, the crown prince will abolish and establish the second prince as crown prince. This is fair."
"This..."
"Well, yes!"
"No"
"It's too sudden"
"What's going on"
"I support the second prince..."
"I also support the second prince."
"Haha..."
"What are you doing?"
"Support the second prince."
"Support the prince!"
"The second prince..."
"Prince..."
Under Xuexing's instigation, the ministers immediately separated into two factions, one supporting the prince and the other supporting Xue Gou.
But the courtiers who support Xue Gou are obviously more than those who support the prince. This is because Qianye has not been in the palace these years, allowing Xue Gou and Xuerui to take advantage of the loophole, otherwise they would not have the opportunity to jump out and be clowns.
Chiba looked at the ministers who opposed him and made trouble for him, and wrote them down in his book one by one.
Since they were unjust to me first, it is reasonable for me to fight back against them.
Xue Ye's face turned red when she saw the ministers quarreling, and Long Yan was furious: "Quiet!"
After hearing this, all the ministers immediately became silent, looking at Xue Ye waiting for him to make the final decision.
The faction supporting the prince must hope that Emperor Xueye will not make the decision to depose the prince so easily.
But the faction supporting the second prince definitely hopes that the prince will be deposed and Xue Gou can take over.
Chiba didn't care at all about Xue Ye's decision.
After all, he is neither Xue Qinghe nor Xue Ye's son. The only thing that matters is that he can defeat Xue Gou and continue to be the prince.
It’s not that you can’t hit a snow hook. It can be said that hitting a snow hook is easier than squeezing an ant to death.
With his current strength, he will be there in seconds.
Seeing that all the ministers were quiet, Xue Ye then said again: "Since everyone has their own opinions, then as the leader of a country and their father, I will use the most fair method."
"Whether it's the crown prince or the second prince, whoever wins will have the strength and will become the crown prince in the future. If the crown prince wins, he will still be the crown prince. If the second prince wins, then I will naturally abolish the crown prince and let the second prince win.
The prince becomes the prince."
"I wonder if ministers have any meaning?"
"I have no objection. Everything will be subject to His Majesty's arrangements." Xuexing immediately expressed his position, hoping that this would be the outcome.
He had always been at odds with the prince, so he was naturally willing to confront Xue Gou, who was close to him.
"I have no objection..."
"I only obey your Majesty."
"Support His Majesty's arrangements..."
The ministers who stood on Xue Gou's side immediately spoke out in support.
Hum
The ministers who stood on the side of the prince could only eat coptis and stare blankly, their opposition was ineffective.
The minority obeys the majority, and this has always been the case.
What's more, even Emperor Xue Ye supports Xue Gou.
Therefore, the ministers who support the prince now place all their hopes on the prince himself, hoping that he can defeat Xue Gou and the prince's position will still be maintained.
Otherwise, both the prince and them will suffer.
This is the pros and cons of taking sides. If you win, you will be successful, but if you lose, you may lose your life.
Chiba looked at the ministers who supported him. No matter what they were doing, supporting him was the right thing to do and he would be protected.
Xue Ye finally looked at Qianye and said meaningfully: "Qinghe, what else do you want to say to your father and the ministers?"
