In the afternoon, Prince Liang's Mansion, dining hall.

"My lord, Marquis Zhenxi has been arrested." Zhao Gao came to Xia Xian and whispered. Although Zhao Gao's voice was low, everyone present could hear him clearly.

And the eyes of the others couldn't help looking at Xia Xian, because this was his father-in-law.

Xia Xian frowned, his face was worried but still calm, looking at Zhao Gao indifferently, he asked, "Who caught him and why?"

Zhao Gao looked cold, and said coldly, "Jiang Cheng, the secret guard, led the team himself. The reason is that someone reported that he was collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country and betraying the Zhenxi Army, causing the entire army to be wiped out."

"Did my father-in-law say nothing?" Xia Xian asked in a deep voice.

"I didn't say anything, I didn't ask anything, I just followed them away," Zhao Gao said in a deep voice.

"It seems that Lord Hou has already expected it, otherwise he wouldn't be so calm," Zhuge Liang said.

"What do you think?" Xia Xian looked at Jia Xu and asked Zhuge Liang.

"Just ask for someone directly. Although the dark guards have the power to arrest them, they have no power to convict them. This is the reason why Emperor Xia didn't let the Ministry of Punishment take action. This is not aimed at Lord Hou, but at Lord Wang." Jia Xu said to Xia Xian.

"The dark guard's prison is in the summer palace, I'm afraid it's time to prepare a good situation and wait for the lord to get into it," Zhuge Liang said calmly.

"Of course we're not going to rescue them," Jia Xu sneered.

"Brother Jia means the people in the western region." Zhuge Liang immediately understood what Jia Xu was thinking.

"There are a lot of tricks in the matter in the western region. Let the people in the western region judge whether it is right or wrong. After all, it is their relatives who died," Jia Xu said calmly.

"Zhao Gao, send the news of my father-in-law's arrest to the western region as quickly as possible, just tell the truth," Xia Xian said to Zhao Gao.

"Yes," Zhao Gao replied and went to do it immediately.

"It seems that Emperor Xia is ready to attack us as well. If the guess is right, the next step is to hold the lord in Xiadu, and then attack Beiliang," Jia Xu said lightly.

"Since he made a move, I can't stand and be beaten," Xia Xian said coldly.

On the other hand, Zhuge Liang looked at Jia Xu with a frown on his face. He felt that it was definitely not that simple. Today, when Jia Xu went out to the Liang Palace, Shangguan Ba ​​was arrested there. What a coincidence.

Early the next morning, Fengtian Temple.

"But there is still something to do, if you don't have it, you can retreat." Xia Huang said to the crowd below, but he didn't mention Shangguan Ba ​​at all, as if he didn't know that Shangguan Ba ​​had been captured.

And the courtiers below didn't make a sound, they just focused on Xia Xian, they all wanted to see how he could save Shangguanba.

"I have something to play." Xia Xian came to the middle of the palace of playing calmly and said to Emperor Xia.

"Say" Xia Huang looked at Xia Xian with deep eyes and said.

"The crown prince has been vacant for two years, and it's time to re-appoint the crown prince." Xia Xian looked at Emperor Xia and said calmly.

The eyes of all the ministers lit up when they heard the words, they already had a promising candidate, but Emperor Xia hadn't mentioned it, and they couldn't figure out what Emperor Xia was thinking, so they didn't dare to ask, but now that someone brought it up, they It is also time to strike while the iron is hot.

"In order to stabilize the country, please re-establish the crown prince, Your Majesty," all the ministers said to Emperor Xia in unison.

Emperor Xia took a deep look at Xia Xian, he knew that Xia Xian did not mention it for himself, but for Xia Yun.

"Then who do you have?" Emperor Xia asked the ministers, obviously he didn't want Xia Xian to spoil his plan.

But before all the ministers could say anything, Xia Xian took a step forward and said loudly, "I feel that the position of the prince must belong to the fifth emperor brother. The emperor brother has both ability and political integrity, and he is well-known in Yunguo. He was exactly the same when he was young, what do you think, father?"

The other three princes in Fengtian Hall also looked at Xia Xian solemnly. Although he was recommending Xia Yun, whoever was not a thoughtful person could immediately tell that there was something in Xia Xian's words.

When they recalled Xia Yun, they couldn't help being shocked. They didn't know anything about Xia Yun's situation. If Xia Xian hadn't mentioned it, they wouldn't have remembered that arrogant and domineering person, and then thought of what Xia Xian said , they also knew that it was not Xia Xian but Emperor Xia who wanted Xia Yun to be the crown prince.

"Fifth brother is arrogant and domineering. No one knows him well. He is not suitable to be the prince." The third prince Xia An said looking at Emperor Xia with a livid face.

"That's right, if someone like Fifth Brother is allowed to be the crown prince, how will the common people in the world view our Great Xia royal family?" The second prince Xia Yi said with cold eyes.

"Fifth brother is really not suitable, father please think twice," the eldest prince Xia Li said lightly.

Originally thought that Emperor Xia called them back to choose a suitable heir from among the few of them, but when they were all working hard to perform, they found that the match had been decided by default. Their anger can be imagined.

Even Xia Li, who had no hope for the throne, looked displeased. It's fine if you lean towards him, but you still want to make up your mind, do you think they are fools?

Under the signal of the three princes, the court ministers also came out to deny Xia Xian's decision, or they were denying Emperor Xia.

Emperor Xia looked at Xia Xian calmly. Xia Xian wanted to provoke the relationship between him, the three princes and those behind him, and he had already succeeded.

Emperor Xia said to the crowd below, "Then who do you think is suitable?"

With one sentence from Emperor Xia, the three princes who had shared the same hatred just now became hostile again.

A group of ministers began to quarrel again, Xia Huang looked at the same calm Xia Xian, wanting to see what Xia Xian was thinking.

It's a pity that he was disappointed, Xia Xian has a calm face from the beginning, without a trace of turbulence on his face, making it impossible to guess his thoughts."

"I don't know which brother my father thinks is suitable for the position of prince. Even I was once a prince. I think the brothers are no worse than me." Seeing that they couldn't argue with each other, Xia Xian pointed Emperor Xia asked.

"Ninth brother is right, but I don't know if we can get into the eyes of the emperor." The third prince asked coldly.

"I also want to know what kind of person I am in my father's heart." The second prince also said in a deep voice.

"Since you all want to be princes, I will give you a chance. Whoever can repel the army of the great merchants will be the prince." Xia Huang looked at his sons and said coldly.

Emperor Xia knew that if he didn't give them an answer today, they would not leave easily, but since they wanted to fight, let them fight. As for Xia Xian, he would never let him out of Xiadu again.
