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

now.

Emperor Xia stopped going out, closed his eyes, and seemed to be in deep thought: "Xiao Jiu, do you know how many private soldiers are in the homes of those people outside?"

"Know some!"

Emperor Xia struggled: "But I know more!"

"Those wealthy families outside each own no fewer than a hundred farms, no fewer than a hundred mines, and thousands of shops, and each of them has tens of thousands of private troops in their hands. If they arm the farmers, craftsmen, and merchants in their hands, each of them will To be able to raise an army of [-], to occupy mountains as kings, to conquer cities and territories, and to make the Great Xia Empire into a mess!"

"These private soldiers are hiding in their properties and have been training secretly. Besides protecting their own properties, they are always..."

Speaking of this, Emperor Xia suddenly opened his eyes and said: "They are still preparing to separate one side at any time!"

"So the emperor knows!"

"Of course I know!"

Emperor Xia said solemnly: "For fear of arousing my jealousy, they put the troops under my nose... the weakest in this imperial capital, so that you can capture the Zhang family, Liu family, and Liu family tonight. , Duanmu family, Nangong family, Lin family!"

"They also didn't expect you to dare to act like this!"

"Now that the six great families have been killed by you, and the six ministers have been dismissed for embezzling the treasury, all the families are in panic. If you continue to pursue and beat them hard, they will definitely attract their counterattack...Xiao Jiu, stop! Bar!"

"The investigation ends here, don't dig any further!"

Xia Tian raised his eyelids: "Father, if you want to eradicate the threats of each family once and for all, this is the best opportunity, otherwise it will be too late!"

"The heads of each family are trapped in the imperial capital, and each family's industry has no leader. We can just coerce the head of the family to order each family. If there is a rebellion, the Taiwei will lead the army and put it out at any time!"

"Not a chance!"

Emperor Xia turned around decisively and said, "For the imperial court, this is a crisis!"

"The officials in Xia Palace today are all from different families. If the investigation continues, the court will not only face the threat of rebellion from various families, but also face the situation of no officials available. If the court cannot operate, the world will also be in chaos!"

"I order you... to stop!"

Xia Tian is making the last effort: "Father, there are many capable people in the world, and there are no wealthy talents available, so we will use talents from poor families, and the court will not stop!

"Using talents from poor families can also create checks and balances against wealthy families, and it will definitely make the empire better!"

"This will also give hope to those poor young talents, and give them a way to change their destiny!"

"Father..."

"No need to say any more!"

Emperor Xia made up his mind, staring at Xia Tian's eyes and said: "Xiao Jiu, when will you change your compassionate temperament?"

"The humble family is not the same as our royal family!"

"You always remember that the wealthy family and the royal family have common interests, and we are always opposed to those poor and untouchables, do you understand?"

"There is only so much wealth in the world. If those humble people can live a life of rich clothes and good food, it means that... we will live a life of simple food and simple food, and we will live a life of hardship!"

Emperor Xia couldn't accept it at all: "If you were born in the common people, you may become a great good person in the future, but if you were born in the emperor's family, you will be called a woman... of... ......Benevolence!"

Emperor Xia said word by word: "If you can get rid of this temper, I will make you the crown prince without hesitation. In the future, I can rest assured that you will become the emperor of the Great Xia Empire. Xia Jiangshan will be handed over to you!"

Xia Tian doesn't believe it at all!

Emperor Xia's temptations are endless!

"Father, if this continues, sooner or later, they will still mess with my Great Xia!"

Emperor Xia said helplessly: "That will be many years later!"

"I'll find a way to deal with it, don't worry!"

Many years later, he should have opened the Jixia Underground Palace, and he should have become a fairy!

suddenly.

"Humph......"

Emperor Xia thought of something, "hmph" very suddenly: "Although you are not suitable to be an emperor, you are a good hand at driving the crown prince out of the East Palace!"

"If your Sixth Brother is in charge of the East Palace this time, you can let him go!"

"Pfft..."

Eunuch Wei couldn't help laughing, thought of something, and laughed!

Emperor Xia glared at him viciously: "Old man, are you happy to see my sons at odds?"

"Old slave dare not!"

Eunuch Wei was surprised and lost his composure: "The reason why this old slave laughs is because he thinks that the patriarchs of these wealthy families are extremely majestic and powerful, just like fierce tigers!"

"But since the prince entered the court, they have changed from tigers to kittens, and their prestige is no longer there!"

"Sure enough, the villain still needs... the prince to grind!"

Only then did Emperor Xia withdraw his scrutiny: "Xiao Jiu, the six ministers have been dismissed now, do you have any suitable candidates to recommend?"

"no!"

Xia Tian didn't accept the offer: "Your minister is not familiar with the ministers of the court, so there is no one to recommend, but the position of Minister of the Ministry of Officials, Ministry of Punishment, Ministry of Households, Ministry of Industry, Ministry of Rites, and Ministry of War cannot be left alone for a day, and the emperor still needs to decide! "

"it is good!"

Emperor Xia turned around: "Let me think about it!"

After he took a step, he stopped suddenly, turned his back and asked, "Xiao Jiu, are you going to return to the barren state after settling the treasury matter?"

"I haven't thought about it yet!"

Xia Tian replied cautiously: "After dealing with the treasury matter, if the son is still alive, think about it again!"

Emperor Xia thought of the coffin in Tianxia Palace!

He was in a complicated mood: "As long as you don't get to the bottom of it, I will beat them... and won't let them hurt you again!"

"Thank you, Father!"

Emperor Xia walked out.

Xia Tian followed back to the main hall: "Prime Minister You, you continue to try this case!"

"Yes!"

Xia Tian raised his eyelids: "Come here, take the ministers to the imperial prison!"

"Yes!"

"Imperial City Commander listened to the order and immediately sealed off the former ministers, allowing entry and no exit!"

"Yes!"

Immediately afterwards, Xia Tian opened the secret letter account books of the Zhang family, Liu family, Liu family, Duanmu family, Nangong family, and Lin family, wrote down countless names and handed them to the deputy envoy of the Imperial City Department: "According to the list, enter the army to take people, Don't cause mutiny in the army!"

"Yes!"

The Deputy Envoy of the Imperial City Division took over the secret letter: "Your official will personally lead someone to arrest him!"

"Thanks for your hard work!"

"Don't dare!"

The Deputy Envoy of the Imperial City Department left in a hurry!

This time, there will be storms in the army!

Only then did Xia Tian say: "Patriarchs, you are also involved in this embezzlement of money and food from the treasury, right?"

"no!"

The faces of the Patriarchs changed drastically, and they resolutely denied: "Absolutely not!"

"Humph......"

Xia Tian said coldly: "Come here, invite the Patriarchs into the Imperial City Prison, and interrogate the truth in person!"

Patriarchs' complexion changed drastically 1

Arrested in the Imperial City Prison again?

No!

Even if you kill them, they won't go to that ghostly place!

"There is...a little relationship!"

Emperor Xia: "..."

Sure enough, the villain still needs... Xiao Jiu to grind!

"very good!"

Xia Tian raised his eyelids: "Since you have admitted to embezzling the treasury's money and food, come here...all of you will be arrested in the Imperial City Prison!"

Patriarchs: "..."

Do not admit to arrest!

If you admit it, you will be arrested!

So are they going to admit it or not?

King of Huangzhou, what are you doing?

at this time.

In the secret passage under the floor of Tianxia Hall, there is a strange figure, quietly listening to the movement above.

He murmured while listening: "This kid, looks like me back then!"

"It really looks like..."
