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

imperial capital.

East Palace.

Candles were brightly lit.

The crown prince Xia Chun was sitting in the hall with resentment, on the left was the right prime minister Cao Wei, and on the right was the new Minister of War Zhao Shangshu.

"talk?"

The prince looked at his two silent right-hand men, and finally couldn't help but shouted: "What's going on?"

"Since the founding of Daxia, there has never been a prince who brought his concubine back to the imperial capital for a drink. Why does such a thing happen now?"

Speaking of this, the crown prince said unwillingly: "At the beginning, when I got married in Qingzhou, I didn't get such treatment?"

"Tell me, what exactly does Father want to do?"

"Are you dissatisfied with this Palace?"

"If he wasn't satisfied with me being the crown prince, why did he push me to be the master of the East Palace?"

After the prince Xia Chun finished his roar, the anger in his heart seemed to be vented.

After a while, he calmed down and saluted respectfully: "Master Taishan, what do you think?"

Cao Wei, Prime Minister of the Right, said, "I'm ashamed!"

"Because there is no precedent for this matter, and there is no sign. Judging from the matter itself, the emperor recruited the Ninth Prince from the barren state to show Concubine Qin in order to please Concubine Qin!"

"impossible!"

Prince Xia Chun categorically denied: "This is absolutely impossible!"

"According to the news from the palace, Qin Guifei has been imprisoned by her father in the Lenggong Gushan Palace since the dead nine went to the barren state!"

"Hey......"

Cao Wei let out a faint sigh: "Your Highness, you only saw Concubine Qin being imprisoned in the cold palace."

"But what you haven't seen is that since Concubine Qin was imprisoned in the Gushan Palace, His Majesty has been running to the Gushan Palace almost whenever he has time, and even went to have dinner with Qin Guifei."

"Look at the empress and other concubines in the harem. Although they are all in their own palaces, have your Majesty ever gone down there once?"

"In Yichen's opinion, those palaces that His Majesty does not go to are the cold palaces!"

There was a flash of understanding in the prince's eyes: "Prime Minister You still sees it deeply."

Cao Wei nodded and said: "Recently there are rumors in the palace that Concubine Qin Gui has been ill recently, and it is very likely that her illness has something to do with it!"

The prince turned around and asked again: "Master Taishan, what do you think?"

Zhao Shangshu added: "I think there is one more thing, that is, Sima Mei is about to go to get married, and the purpose of calling Sima Lan back to meet him is to appease Prime Minister Zuo Sima Jian!"

A cold light flashed in Cao Wei's eyes: "It is indeed possible that the old thief Sima exerted influence secretly. This old thing is really nothing!"

The prince thought for a while: "Then what does the emperor think?"

"The imperial father's oral order to the dead nine did not mention the date of return!"

"This matter, I feel weird everywhere!"

"It seems that someone is plotting against me..."

Both Cao Wei and Zhao Shangshu shook their heads: "Your Highness, don't worry too much!"

"The emperor's heart is like the sea, it's hard to fathom!"

"Just wait and see!"

The prince was silent for a moment, then suddenly complained: "At the beginning, I said that I would ambush people and horses in the middle, and turn Lao Jiu into a dead ghost. Maybe, there will be no such trouble now!"

"But you are blocking me everywhere!"

"Say you can't ambush me halfway, otherwise, there will be endless troubles!"

"Looking at it now, if you didn't kill Lao Jiu halfway, you will have endless troubles!"

Right Prime Minister and Zhao Shangshu frowned, and found that the prince Xia Chun was easy to turn over old accounts, which is really not a good habit.

Right Minister Cao Wei said indifferently: "Could it be that His Highness the Crown Prince has forgotten the fate of the former Crown Prince?"

"Why was he kicked out of the East Palace?"

"Isn't it because you want to ambush the Ninth Prince on his way into the desert?"

"The results of it?"

"Nine princes have not lost a single hair, but the former prince was kicked out of the East Palace, and now he has disappeared even more!"

"His Royal Highness, a lesson from the past!"

The prince Xia Chun shrank his neck in fright, and said with some fear: "Yes!"

"Dead Nine is very weird. If someone arranges someone to ambush him halfway, maybe something will happen?"

"It's still the two elders who are mature and prudent, and it's me, Meng Lang!"

"Then we'll just have to wait and see what happens!"

At this time.

Outside the main hall of the East Palace, the voice of the eunuch came to mind: "Li Taiwei is here!"

Cao Wei got up to greet him: "The person who solves the problem is here!"

I saw Li Jian walking into the main hall with a tiger's pace: "Li Jian has seen His Royal Highness, Prime Minister on the Right, Lord Zhao!"

Everyone greeted and sat down.

The prince then asked: "Li Taiwei, the right minister said that you want to pretend to seek refuge with the king of Huangzhou to find out the truth?"

Li Jian said solemnly: "Recently, the court situation is turbulent, and the power of the kings is surging. They are desperately trying to win over the courtiers. I believe His Royal Highness knows what they want to do!"

The prince said with resentment on his face: "Brother Wang, you don't give up on the position of the East Palace, and you think about kicking this palace out of here all day long, it's really abominable!"

"However, this palace belongs to the destiny, and they will never do it!"

Li Jian nodded and said: "My ambition in this life, Li Jian, is to help the crown prince onto the dragon chair, so don't worry, Your Highness!"

"After the king of Huangzhou enters the city, the Taiwei will first investigate his reality and stay by his side. Naturally, he will know why His Majesty recalled him. At that time, His Highness will have a countermeasure!"

The crown prince said with a moved face: "It's really hard for the captain!"

Li Jian smiled meaningfully: "This is what veteran officials should do."

The prince was quite satisfied with Li Jian's attitude: "We wait for the good news from the captain!"

"Yes!"

The four of them conspired again in the East Palace before everyone left.

At this time, people from various palaces in the imperial capital are also holding such meetings!

Because, no one knows what changes will be brought about by the King of Huangzhou's entry into the imperial capital?

The palace, the imperial study.

Emperor Xia finished approving the memorial, walked to the door of the imperial study, looked at the dark night sky and asked: "Old man, do you think those stupid sons of mine can guess what I mean by calling Xiao Jiu back to the imperial capital?"

Eunuch Wei shook his head resolutely: "Your Majesty is their heaven, and His Majesty's mind is a secret to all the princes. As long as the secret is not leaked, no one will be able to guess it!"

He couldn't even guess it while staying with the emperor, and the other princes couldn't even guess it!

"Hahaha......"

Emperor Xia couldn't help laughing out loud: "Old man, you are still the best at talking!"

"You said the rumor that Li Jian secretly joined Xiao Jiu, is it true or not?"

Eunuch Wei replied solemnly: "There is no reason for it!"

Emperor Xia shook his head: "Since the rumors are all in my ears, they are really rumors!"

Eunuch Wei breathed a sigh of relief!

Emperor Xia continued: "After the battle with the Heavenly Wolf Kingdom, I discovered that the Tianxia Palace is like a pool of stagnant water. There are too many courtiers who are prudent and scheming secretly, but there are too few courtiers who really want to serve the country and the people."

"Old man, if Xiao Jiu participates in government affairs during his family visit... what do you think?"

"How will the prince react?"

"Will there be a storm in this court that is a pool of stagnant water?"

Eunuch Wei's eyes narrowed: "This old slave dare not talk about government affairs!"

Xia Di smiled mysteriously, and murmured: "Then try it!"

suddenly.

"Again..."

A strange sound came out of the enshrinement hall.

Emperor Xia's expression changed, and he walked towards the worship hall...
