Iron Dynasty

PS: Four chapters will be released first, and two more chapters will arrive later.

The candles in the imperial study flickered.

Xiao Wenxuan fell into contemplation. He knew very well what would happen after the abolition of the reserve. The prince was the eldest son, and he was the direct son. He was justifiably named emperor in the future.

If the prince is abolished, the remaining princes will not settle down. After all, at this time, the princes rely on their respective abilities rather than the order of elders.

He glanced at the empress, and understood that Empress Zhao moved out the name certificate just so that he would not waste the deposit and learn from the practice of the emperor. After all, the symbolic meaning of the name certificate is greater than the actual meaning.

Speaking of which, deep down, he didn't want to abolish the reserve. The crown prince was his first son, and Empress Zhao was also his favorite woman. What reason would he have to hand over the throne to someone else?

It's just that the prince's making such a big noise now gives him a headache, because the next thing that must be asked to depose the prince is constantly being sent up.

Your Majesty, if the crown prince is really abolished, then the mastermind behind the scenes will really succeed. Empress Zhao's eyes flashed with a strange light, and he knew very well what Xiao Wenxuan was thinking at this time.

But how should I explain to the monarch and minister? Xiao Wenxuan's thoughts loosened.

Empress Zhao was overjoyed when she heard the words and said: Your Majesty, the crown prince said that he only has this ambitious man, but he wants to be a barbarian khan, and Gaozu didn't want to conquer the barbarians and let the barbarians surrender to Da Yu. At the foot of the country?

That's what the prince said? Xiao Wenxuan's expression softened.

That's right, after His Majesty left, the prince told his concubine like this. As for this assassin, it's just that the prince's scrutiny was not strict, and the barbarian assassin was mixed in, and the prince was also framed.

Xiao Wenxuan nodded, his expression returned to normal, and seemed to be somewhat satisfied with the prince, You are right, these princes should be allowed to enter the palace to sign the nomination form, whoever pushes three or four will have a guilty conscience, even if it is not the mastermind this time, Must be misguided.

The smile on Empress Zhao's face suddenly burst into bloom, and what he wanted was Xiao Wenxuan's words, Your Majesty, even if this certificate is not very useful, as long as Your Majesty puts on the great seal of the jade seal, it is also the emperor's order, and since then the country will be greatly affected. The battle for the throne can also rest, doesn’t this not only preserve the crown prince’s position, but also stabilize the Great Yu Kingdom?”

Xiao Wenxuan nodded, You are right, tomorrow I will let the princes enter the palace, and I will take Yang Zhen to test them one by one.

Empress Zhao said with a smile: This Yang Zhen is a master at observing words and expressions. I can't say that I can see some clues. Your Majesty, it's getting late, so don't think about it anymore.

Really? Go, let me take a look. Xiao Wenxuan helped Queen Zhao out of the imperial study and walked towards the harem.

The old son Xiao Wenxuan is also very happy, especially since Empress Zhao is pregnant, he feels that this is a kind of blessing from God.

The next day, an imperial order was passed to every prince in Chang'an City, and Xiao Wenxuan wanted to summon the princes in the imperial study.

Because after the assassination incident, every prince was a little nervous, but the emperor's order could not be violated, so they still went to the palace.

Outside the imperial study, Xiao Ming met the princes, the crown prince, the second prince, the third prince, the fourth prince, the king of Shu, the sixth prince, and a total of seven adult princes.

The princes did not speak when they gathered together, and all of them had confusion on their faces.

At this time, the third prince leaned over to Xiao Ming and said, The seventh brother is also here. It seems that the father and the emperor did not summon us to assassinate us.

It's not necessarily. It's not necessarily for the seventh brother to identify the murderer, but I don't know who is so courageous to assassinate the seventh brother. Seventh brother, have you offended someone?

Xiao Ming looked at the fourth prince. This guy has a precedent. He said, I have offended many people. It is possible for anyone. Fourth brother, are you right?

The fourth prince's expression changed greatly when he heard the words, he snorted and stopped talking.

It's true, but you don't have to bother us. The King of Shu sneered, he was good in the fief, but because of the reward of Xiao Ming, he was called to Chang'an.

At this moment, Feng Deshui came out of the imperial study, and he said to the prince, His Royal Highness, the emperor will let you in.

Um.

The prince seemed to be confident, and entered the imperial study proudly, he had already learned about this in advance.

In the imperial study.

Xiao Wenxuan picked up the jade seal and stamped it on the certificate of entry. He had already written the content in the morning. When he saw the prince coming in, he said, Prince, come here!

Hearing this, the prince quickly walked a few steps to Xiao Wenxuan.

At this time, Xiao Wenxuan said: Prince, I hope what you said is true, otherwise, even if there is a registration certificate, I can abolish you.

Royal father, my son remembers it, I will definitely be diligent in government affairs in the future, and solve problems for the royal father.

Okay, let's sign your name. Xiao Wenxuan said, in fact, to him, it doesn't matter whether the prince's words are true or not.

The assassination incident against Xiao Ming this time completely sounded the alarm for him.

After signing the name, the prince slowly exited the imperial study.

Feng Deshui walked out at this time and let the second prince in.

Outside the door, everyone looked at the excited prince, all of them looked surprised, but what made everyone even more surprised was that the prince actually handed over to them one by one.

Third brother, fourth brother... Seventh brother, take the first step for brother. The prince said.

Especially when he walked in front of Xiao Ming, the prince said with a smile: Seventh brother, there were many offenses in the East Palace yesterday. I hope that seventh brother will not mind. I thought it was the seventh brother who wanted to harm me.

It doesn't matter, as long as the prince's brother doesn't misunderstand. Xiao Ming felt strange, not knowing what medicine the prince took.

After saying hello, the prince left alone, and after a while the second prince came out with a livid face.

Then came the third prince, the fourth prince, and each prince went in nervously, and finally came out with a black face.

Your Highness, it's your turn. Now it was Xiao Ming's turn.

Entering the imperial study, Xiao Ming went straight to Xiao Wenxuan's side.

Xiao Wenxuan just asked Xiao Ming to take a look at the application form first.

Xiao Ming was a little surprised. He looked carefully. When he saw the bottom, he saw the names of the prince and others.

Ming'er, you must have heard about the name submission. Xiao Wenxuan said earnestly.

Xiao Ming was a little helpless. He did not expect that Xiao Wenxuan called all the princes here for this matter. No wonder the prince would be so happy. It turned out that this was a contract for other princes to give up competing for the throne.

Royal father, Gaozu also made a certificate in the past, which is a good story among the people. Xiao Ming said.

That's right, the purpose of this submission is to prevent brothers from competing. You are a smart person, and you should understand what your father means. Xiao Wenxuan's eyes were bright.
