The hall was originally full of festive atmosphere, but because of the prince's words, it was covered with a layer of haze.

Everyone can see that the prince is obviously going to play against the emperor, your emperor praised Xiao Zhang in every way, but my prince came out to accuse Xiao Zhang of guilt.

Xiao Zhang glanced at the prince, but saw that the prince was also looking at him, the prince's expression seemed calm, but his eyes were full of murderous intent.

In fact, the crown prince was already about to give an order to take down Xiao Zhang just now, but he found that the power he didn't know had disappeared inexplicably, you know, it was the highest elite selected among his personal guards, and it disappeared.

According to the prince's previous experience of defeat with Xiao Zhang, he immediately believed that Xiao Zhang must have discovered the power he had arranged in advance and destroyed it.

Today's Xiao Zhang is simply an omnipotent existence in the eyes of the prince, and his countless plans have been destroyed in Xiao Zhang's hands, so that today's plan for a sneak attack on Qi Tiandian was also destroyed by Xiao Zhang!

The crown prince could no longer bear this feeling of frustration, and finally, he could only stand up at this moment and sing a duet with his father, the current emperor.

In fact, this time the prince really wronged Xiao Zhang, because all this was done by Xuanyuan, Xiao Zhang was kept in the dark from beginning to end, if it wasn't for Xuanyuan's decision, Xiao Zhang would have died in the hands of the prince.

The emperor's gloomy face recovered slightly, after all, he was the Ninth Five-Year Emperor, and no one in the world he had seen was incomparable, and his ability to adjust his emotions was also superb.

"Say it. The emperor's voice was flat, as if nothing had happened, "But you must know that above this Qi Heaven Palace, every word of anyone is not a joke, and you are responsible for what you say." ”

The prince raised his head and said, "The minister obeys the order." ”

After speaking, the prince glanced at Xiao Zhang again, and then said to the emperor: "The minister thinks that Xiao Zhang's acquisition of the three basic industries of Xuanyuan City is obviously selfish. Xiao Zhang's fundamental purpose was to control the three major industries and serve the Heavenly Soul Sect. Although the Heavenly Soul Sect was created by His Majesty back then, it has now become the property of the Xiao family, and its surname has been changed to Xiao. ”

The emperor remained silent and continued to wait for the crown prince's next words.

The crown prince continued: "Xuanyuanmen has become too rich because of the three major industries, which has caused Xuanyuanmen to be too powerful, so that it has become a great trouble for His Majesty. Then, Your Majesty shouldn't want the Heavenly Soul Sect to become another Xuanyuan Sect, right?"

The emperor took a deep breath, slowly exhaled, and said, "As I said just now, all the assets of the three major industries belong to the imperial court, and Xiao Zhang is just in escrow. ”

"Escrow? The prince sneered and glanced at Xiao Zhang, "Xiao Zhang is such a smart person, he eats people without spitting out bones, does Your Majesty think that he will manage the business for the imperial court for nothing? Therefore, when the time comes, the account books that His Majesty saw should have been made up by Xiao Zhang to deceive people. ”

I have to say that the prince's words really hit the nail on the head, and they also entered the emperor's heart.

In fact, to be honest, Xiao Zhang really planned to do it, but since the prince said it, he had to dispel this idea, so he said: "In this case, Your Majesty, the minister will give up the custody of the three major industries." ”

In fact, this is also Xiao Zhang's true words, he is too lazy to take care of business for others, and he will focus on his own industry in the north in the future.

The emperor was a little embarrassed, but Xiao Zhang could see that the emperor was obviously pretending, so he took the initiative to speak: "Your Majesty should choose another master to manage the three major industries, after all, the minister is only a cultivator, and he is not good at managing business." ”

Only then did the emperor nod and said, "Okay, then I will find someone to rush to the south and take over the three major industries." ”

The prince had no intention of giving up, and said: "Although Xiao Zhang gave up the management of the three major industries, he originally had a private message, and this cannot be let go, otherwise it will become a big disaster in the future." ”

Upon hearing this, Xiao Zhang was immediately very unhappy and asked, "What do you mean? Do you have to kill me? Besides, how do you know that I have selfish intentions?"

The prince smiled: "This palace just mentioned this matter, even if you say that you want to give up the right to manage, isn't this a weak heart?"

Xiao Zhang was suddenly furious: "You usually rely on speculation to do things? Your guess can convict others? Well, I still think you have a rebellion, and I want to kill your father and sit on that dragon chair!"

As soon as these words came out, there was a dead silence in the hall.

This topic is indeed very sensitive, and the emperor and the crown prince are even more sensitive, maybe they have subconsciously fought many times, but now they are broken by Xiao Zhang's words.

The crown prince's face was a little pale, although he was mentally prepared to be completely dead with the emperor, but he didn't want it to be this passive way.

"Xiao Zhang, you are presumptuous!" the prince almost screamed, "In the Qi Heaven Palace, how dare you spew so blood!"

Xiao Zhang was not in a hurry, because what he said was the truth, and it was a fact that both the emperor and the crown prince knew.

"You're all bloody, and you still have the face to talk about me?" Xiao Zhang looked at the prince with contempt on his face.

Prince: "......"

"That's it, don't mention this matter again!" The emperor suddenly spoke, his face seemed to have a lot more vicissitudes in an instant, "Zhao Zheng, what else do you have to say?"

The crown prince originally thought that the emperor would take this opportunity to abolish himself, but unexpectedly, the emperor let him go temporarily, so why not do it, so he stopped dwelling on this topic.

However, the crown prince still didn't want to let go of Xiao Zhang, and continued: "Your Majesty, the minister still has something to do with Xiao Zhang. ”

The emperor rubbed his eyebrows and said displeasedly: "What else do you want?"

Seeing that the emperor's tone was not good, the prince hesitated for a moment, but still made up his mind and said: "Your Majesty, as far as the minister knows, there were originally three big bosses in the three major industries of Xuanyuan City, but now the three big bosses are missing. ”

I have to say that the emperor really ignored this matter, and when the prince mentioned it, his body was suddenly shocked, and he said: "This is reasonable, Xiao Zhang, do you know the whereabouts of the three big bosses?"

Xiao Zhang's heart suddenly tightened again, and he really hated the prince, so he had to desperately think of countermeasures, but at this moment, the prince spoke first: "Your Majesty, according to the minister's informant, Xuanyuanmen arrested the three big bosses on the charge of colluding with the high-level of Xuanyuanmen and embezzling the assets of Xuanyuanmen, and imprisoned them in the Xuanyuanmen dungeon. Subsequently, Xiao Zhang entered the dungeon as a supervisor and killed the three big bosses. But the informant thinks that the three big bosses were obviously killed by the extraction of their souls, so can it be considered that the souls of the three big bosses are in Xiao Zhang's hands?"
