In the early morning, the first rays of light came through the crack in the door and fell on Xia Tan.

Gonggong Gao pushed open the heavy door, and as soon as he saw the person sitting inside, he was stunned in place, and reacted for a long time before he called, "Your Highness." ”

The sunlight poured in without a single barrier, and the young man sitting on the stone steps had white hair, dazzling and dazzling.

"Grandpa Gao, is the early dynasty about to start?" he asked with a stunned eye.

"His Royal Highness still has to prepare for the enthronement, during this period of turmoil in the court, His Highness is still cleaning up the number of people, I am afraid that there will be no early dynasty in the next few days. ”

"Well, prepare hot water, and the prince is going to bathe and change clothes. Xia Tan slowly stood up, because he had been sitting on the ground for too long, he staggered a little, and he could only stand firm by holding on to the table.

It was only at this stumbling that a strand of his silver hair hung down, and he noticed the change in himself, grabbed the hair on his chest in disbelief and looked at it, and then ran out in horror.

There are a thousand feet outside the main hall, there is water in the ding, he lies on the side of the tripod and looks at the reflection in the water, stretches out his trembling hands, and touches his full head of silver hair.

The people are not old, and the blood-stained palace walls are white Watson!

In the Nine Heavens, Xingyuan Shenjun observed that the faint starlight next to the Emperor Star skyrocketed from dimness to instant, and the Emperor Star was also suppressed a little.

However, its light did not flicker for a short time, and it quickly dimmed, but it did not disappear.

Xingyuan Shenjun sighed, "It seems that turmoil has arisen in the world, and I hope that God and she can also survive safely." ”

Xia Tan did not sleep for two whole days, personally interrogating hundreds of civil and military officials, coupled with the information collected before, an accurate list has been listed.

In the court of 100 people, 60 of them are inseparable from the Xiao family, among them, more than 20 people did not participate in the rebellion of the Xiao family, and there are also a few people who were threatened by the Xiao family to assist the eldest prince.

After the screen was cleared, a total of more than 20 people searched their homes, removed them from their official positions, and exiled them.

The Xiao family's decades of glory and favor were only destroyed in an instant, which was a rapid honor and disgrace that no one expected.

The only person left in the Xiao family is the youngest daughter Xiao Shiyan who has gone so crazy that no one knows.

The crown prince Xia Tan also intended to shelter her, but she was not affected at all in the prince's mansion.

The vacancy of official positions in the court is currently the biggest problem in the Xia Kingdom, and the other four countries do not know where to learn about the changes within the Xia Kingdom, and they are very ready to move.

Xia Tan ordered the people of the Dark Night Gate to write to the frontier to inform the stability of the royal family, boost morale, and temporarily guard the frontier for peace.

Before Xia Tan succeeded to the throne, he quickly stabilized the hearts of the courtiers, the army and the people with a thunderous momentum.

The enthronement ceremony was scheduled for three days later, the dragon robe and the imperial seal were being made day and night, and Xia Tan, who was full of silver hair, was even colder than before in the eyes of Gonggong Gao.

This child, with a white head and a change in his mind overnight, made his methods of doing things more calm than that of him, an old man who had lived for forty or fifty years.

"Your Highness, the anti-thief Xia Cen asked to see His Highness. ”

Xia Tan, who was dealing with the court, heard the report from the guards, stopped the pen in his hand, raised his head and asked, "What is the so-called request to see the main hall?"

"He just asked Weichen to pass on a word to His Highness, Xi!"

Xia Tan was shocked, wasn't the seal of the town and country lost?

"Lead the way ahead. ”

Since Xia Cen and Xiao Guifei were locked up, Xia Tan has never been to see it.

After all, it was the former royal family and nobles, and the place where they were imprisoned was the most remote north courtyard in the palace.

In order to prevent them from escaping, they were surrounded by a total of five layers of soldiers.

Pushing open the door and entering, the periphery was full of archers, and they were waiting for them, just for fear that Xia Tan would have any accidents.

Xia Cen was playing against himself at that time, and without Xiao Guifei by his side, he was more calm and calm, or he was planning something, just pretending to be like this.

"It's coming. Xia Cen didn't look up, and his voice floated faintly, just like when the two of them got along together.

"Well, where's the thing?" Xia Tan stood by the door and went straight to the point.

"Why are you in such a hurry, don't you play a game of chess with me?" he raised his head as he spoke, and when he saw Xia Tan's full head of white hair, his expression was stunned, and then he returned to his indifferent appearance.

"What's wrong with your hair?" he asked.

"It's nothing, it's just the appearance. Xia Tan replied.

"Well, but with this gray-haired you, you look a little more handsome than before. He teased.

This kind of conversation, as if the person who washed the entire palace in blood a few days ago was not him, but what happened happened happened, and there was no going back.

Xia Tan was silent, he sighed and continued, "The brothers are playing the last game of chess. ”

Xia Tan stared at him for a few moments, stepped forward, and sat down across from him.

After a fight of chess pieces, Xia Tan lost.

And Xia Cen, who won this game of chess, smiled bitterly,

"Actually, when you were six years old, you played chess with me, and after winning once, you never won again, but I know that you are letting me every time, and I am not willing to accept my own failure, and always deceive myself and say that I am better than you, but in the end, the person who is destined to not win just can't win, and today is no exception, you still deliberately lost to me. ”

His words seemed to be for himself and for Xia Tan.

"Because you are my most respected eldest brother, before the age of five, your love for me was true, even if I later knew that you deliberately alienated from me, I should have oppressed you by my own identity, I know better what success or failure means to you? ”

Xia Tan's words made Xia Cen's eyes not only red.

"Okay, okay, let's not talk about this, I stole the jade seal of Zhenguo at the beginning, and now it is defeated, you can take it and keep it." Saying that, he turned around and walked towards the back room, and the moment he turned around, at an angle that Xia Tan couldn't see, the corners of his mouth hooked up a cruel smile.

The two of them came to the back room, there was a small box on the cabinet, Xia Cen took it, put it on the table, and said to Xia Tan, "Open it and take a look." ”

Xia Tan didn't doubt it, because of this box, he had seen it in his father's palace.

When the box was opened, there was a brocade wrapped in something, and when the brocade was untied, it was the seal of the town and the country.

Xia Cen saw that Xia Tan was fascinated, he remained silent and pulled out the golden hairpin in the middle of his hair.

He put drugs on the jade seal that can cause temporary paralysis.

As soon as Xia Tan's hand touched the jade seal, his golden hairpin quickly and forcefully plunged into Xia Tan's heart.

Boom!

The jade seal of Zhenguo fell to the ground, Xia Tan looked at it in disbelief, holding the golden hairpin with a fierce look in his eyes, and Xia Cen with a hideous expression.

"You ......"

"You are really still simple, the Zhenguo Jade Seal has already let me destroy it, along with the dragon veins inside, Xia Tan, you must die. ”
