Waste prince: Why do you force me to be emperor?

July is hotter than usual.

Emperor Xia asked someone to bring a few more pieces of ice from the ice cellar, only then did he feel that the imperial study room was much cooler!

He looked at the ice-wrapped jade box that was slowly melting on the table and said, "Old man, your ice qi is getting stronger and stronger!"

"Although Xiao Jiu sealed the jade box with ice, if it weren't for your ice true energy, the dragon meat would have rotted long ago!"

"How on earth does he make ice in summer?"

Eunuch Wei shook his head: "Your Majesty is wise, the Ninth Prince said that this ice-making technique will not be passed on!"

Emperor Xia nodded: "It's true that it's not rumored!"

"This kind of secret must be kept in order to earn money!"

"I won't ask any more!"

"However, is there still much ice stored in the palace ice cellar?"

Eunuch Wei continued to shake his head: "This year is extremely hot, and the palaces use up ice very quickly. It can last half a month at most, and there will be nothing left!"

Xia Di closed his eyes, as if resting his mind: "Then give Xiao Jiu 30 taels of ice-making skills!"

"Wait a minute and take the silver to the barren state, and come back when you get the formula!"

Eunuch Wei was very surprised: "Your Majesty, this year we have to compensate the Sirius Empire with 450 million taels of silver. Now the treasury has not enough money. If we spend another 30 taels of silver to buy ice-making skills for the Ninth Prince, the old slave is afraid that he will be left behind by the prime minister." Neither will agree!"

The corner of Emperor Xia's mouth twitched into an inexplicable smile: "Take it from the private treasury of the palace!"

"Cut down the moon offerings of the Prince's Mansion and other palaces, and we must buy this ice-making technique!"

"Well, tell them the reason for the reduction of Yuefeng, so that they don't come to me to complain!"

"Yes!"

Eunuch Wei understands!

The emperor is going to provoke the prince and the whole palace to be dissatisfied with the ninth prince again!

What does this emperor want to do?

I can't figure it out!

The imperial study room was silent for a moment.

Emperor Xia opened his eyes and said, "Now, tell me about the battle in the barren state!"

"Yes!"

Eunuch Wei wiped the sweat from his brow: "Your Majesty, when this old slave entered the barren state, the battle in the barren state had already been fought!"

"It's almost the same as Li Taiwei said."

"Hahaha......"

Xia Di sneered and said: "Old man, don't even think about making love, tell me quickly... what did you see in the barren state?"

Eunuch Wei said respectfully: "Yes!"

"When the old slave went to the barren state, there were temples built of heads of Sirius people along the way, and the ground was covered with traces of the flames of war, and the smell of blood enveloped the entire barren state."

Xia Di narrowed his eyes: "This is my little Jiu's method!"

"Very good, use Jingguan to frighten the unruly people in the [-] mountains!"

"Have my demeanor!"

Eunuch Wei continued: "On the barren state plain, there are big pits everywhere. The smell of blood is disgusting. The bottom of the pit is full of bloody mud. It seems to be a trap for hunting Sirius."

Emperor Xia murmured: "Li Jian entered the barren state at night, so he didn't have time to dig a hole at all."

"That is to say, these pits were dug by Xiao Jiu and the people from Huangzhou."

"That is to say, before Li Jian entered the barren state, Xiao Jiu had already fought a bloody battle with the Sirius."

The more Emperor Xia talked, the brighter his eyes became: "Most people in Huangzhou hate the imperial court, even the officials I sent were killed one by one in that wild and remote place."

"Why can Xiao Jiu get their followers when he enters the desert?"

"Is Xiao Jiu really the Holy King?"

Eunuch Wei took out a memorial from his sleeve: "Your Majesty's doubts should all be contained in the Ninth Prince's memorial!"

Emperor Xia's eyes became brighter. After taking the memorial, the more he looked at it, the weirder his expression became!

After reading it, Emperor Xia closed the memorial and tapped his palm lightly: "Unexpected!"

"It's unbelievable!"

"It turns out that the person hiding in the dark in the barren state is Ji Jiuzhou, the founder of Legalism!"

"When the former Qin Dynasty did not unify the nine kingdoms, he ruled Qin according to the law, which greatly increased the strength of the Qin Dynasty and made it invincible in the world!"

"However, he later wanted the law to restrict the imperial power and the privileges of the powerful families. This caused the former Qin dignitaries to fight back and almost died."

"Xiao Jiu is right. If such a person's faith does not collapse, he will be a capable minister who governs the world, and a peerless genius who is unique in thousands."

"However, once your faith collapses, you will definitely be a terrifying lunatic!"

Eunuch Wei quickly flattered him: "Your Majesty is wise!"

Emperor Xia looked at Eunuch Wei with a half-smile: "Xiao Jiu said in the memorial that there are still three governors alive in the barren state, namely Bai Jiao, Zhao Dadao, and Du Jun. Have you seen them in the barren state city?"

Eunuch Wei nodded: "I see!"

"They have been tortured by Ji Jiuzhou to the point where they are already out of shape. It seems that they will not live for a few years!"

Emperor Xia raised his eyelids: "Didn't Xiaojiu take some of the jiao meat for them?"

Eunuch Wei said respectfully: "I heard that the soup was stewed with jiao meat and the good medicine from the [-] mountains, and the Ninth Prince personally nourished the three old governors, which made their health better. "

"Otherwise, the three old governors would have died long ago!"

at this time.

Emperor Xia seems to have seen three gray-haired, listless old guys with wrinkled faces: "Back then, they had objections to my entry into the palace to establish the Great Xia Dynasty, so I sent them to guard the barren state. I wanted to teach them a lesson. Do it, and then use it for yourself!"

"It's just that I never thought that lunatic Ji Jiuzhou would hide in the barren state and imprison them to torture them. All my hard work was wasted!"

"If they had listened to me back then, why would they have gone to the barren state to serve as governor!"

Emperor Xia sighed: "It's really time and fate!"

"Xiao Jiu said in the memorial that the three of them can live for at most three years. He wants to leave the three old guys in the barren state to help him manage the land. Old thing, do you think I should agree?"

Eunuch Wei shook his head quickly: "Your Majesty, I cannot agree!"

"Although the three governors-general have not lived long, they are also important officials of the court. Now that they are rescued, they should return to the imperial capital to report on their duties!"

"Hahaha......"

Emperor Xia laughed heartily: "Old man, did my little Jiu offend you?"

"You actually want to ruin his business!"

Eunuch Wei shook his head quickly: "I dare not!"

Emperor Xia raised his eyelids: "Yes!"

"According to my will, let Du Jun, Zhao Dadao, and Bai Jiao stay in the barren state palace to obey orders!"

"Xiao Jiu left in a hurry, and I didn't select talents for him to help him. Although these three old guys are dying, they are experienced in handling things, and they can be regarded as capable ministers. Let him use it for three years!"

"Since I can't use them, let my son use them!"

"Yes!"

A hint of color flashed in the depths of Eunuch Wei's eyes.

At this time, Emperor Xia suddenly changed the subject: "Old man, I have one thing that is very strange...why does your Imperial City Secretary have nothing to do when you meet Xiao Jiu?"

"Why can't you keep up with Xiao Jiu?"

"If I remember correctly, since Xiao Jiu left the imperial capital, your people seem to be unable to keep up with him, nor can they infiltrate the barren state palace. Why is that?"

Eunuch Wei gritted his teeth, knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, don't blame this old slave and his subordinates for being incompetent!"

"It's just that the Ninth Prince has inherited His Majesty's supreme wisdom. His pair of eyes seem to be able to see through people's hearts, so that our people have nowhere to hide, and they can't get in at all!"

"Hahaha......"

Emperor Xia smiled even more freely: "In this way, I really shouldn't blame you for being incompetent. It is really that Xiao Jiu has inherited my wisdom, so it is difficult to be deceived!"

Suddenly, Emperor Xia burst into laughter, and the smile disappeared, expressionless: "This is really good!"

"As a prince, guarding one side, if you are easily deceived, then you are really mediocre!"

"If that's the case, he will really disappoint me!"

Eunuch Wei hurriedly said: "Your Majesty is wise!"

However, the emperor looked like he didn't care about the life and death of the Ninth Prince for a while, and said he had expectations for him...why is that?

One moment he said he wasn't cruel enough, and the other moment he praised him...it's crazy!

Emperor Xia's behavior is really getting weirder and weirder!

At this time.

Emperor Xia walked to the door of the imperial study room, looked at the void outside and said: "It seems that in the first battle of Huangzhou, Xiao Jiu led the people of Huangzhou to fight to the death rather than submit to the Sirians, so that Li Jian took the opportunity to win the battle and capture him alive. Princess Sirius!"

"However, in such a big battle, why didn't even one person die?"

"I heard that most of those wounded soldiers were injured from falls, and the wounds from swords and swords were very shallow!"

"Old man, don't tell me my Great Xia warriors are all invincible gods of war?"

Eunuch Wei smiled but did not answer: "Your Majesty is the master of understanding, and there is only decision in his heart!"

Emperor Xia really didn't need Eunuch Wei to answer: "My little Jiu seems to be wise, courageous, and bloody!"

"Old man, you said that I have just established a crown prince, if Xiao Jiu is called back to the imperial capital, will the new crown prince think that... Xiao Jiu is here to snatch his position as crown prince?"

"Then would this lifeless court be more interesting?"

A lot of thoughts flashed through Eunuch Wei's mind, and he finally said, "Your Majesty, a purple-robed man appeared beside the new crown prince, known as Zongheng Patriarch!"

"He's already planning to deal with the Ninth Prince in Yangzhou!"

Emperor Xia became interested: "Who is the bait?"

"Du Yue'er, one of the top ten beauties in the world!"

"The one that Xiao Jiu sent the beauty poem to?"

"Yes!"

"Has Xiao Jiu entered the game?"

"Already near Yangzhou!"

"it is good!"

Emperor Xia picked up the dragon meat on the table and went out: "Then let's see a good show!"

"Send me all the details!"

"Yes!"

"I would like to see, what kind of means does this Zongheng Patriarch have?"

"I want to see the methods of the new prince!"

its not right!

Emperor Xia stopped in his tracks, with a puzzled look on his face: "Why does the new crown prince want to kill Xiaojiu again?"

Eunuch Wei blinked: "I heard that the Ninth Prince slept with the Crown Princess in the barren state!"

Emperor Xia's eyes were bright, and his spirit was flying high: "That's great!"

Eunuch Wei: "..."

Emperor crazy?
