Xiao Feng left the death row of Dongchang, and let Huang Qilin let out an old roar, and never looked back.

Huang Qilin sat slumped on the ground, sad.

He just wanted to find an excuse to give Xiao Feng the motivation to live, but he didn't expect it to be self-defeating.

At this moment, Xiao Feng's words echoed in his mind, and they did not disperse for a long time. I really didn't ask him why he wanted to be the emperor, it turned out that all the reasons were because of himself and the mission he had set for him since he was a child, so he lived in responsibility and was very tired.

Xiao Feng returned to the palace first and asked Cao Wan to call his son.

Looking at his immature and cowardly son, in the past, Xiao Feng had to be scolded again, he didn't have the slightest bit of heroism, he only promised. But today he can't scold, because he is afraid that his son will become like himself and repeat the mistakes of the past.

He walked up to his son, squatted down to look at him, and said in a serious tone: "If you don't like to practice martial arts, you don't need to practice from now on." Father supports you to study, you can read wisely, start today, do what you love and want to do! ”

The child looked at Xiao Feng dumbfounded, and his eyes seemed to say, is the person in front of him still his father? Kicked in the head by a donkey?

Xiao Feng had already gotten up, and he looked at Cao Wan.

Since getting married, Xiao Feng has looked down on her, but all these years of living in the same bed, she has a heart on herself, and Xiao Feng can feel it.

"Thank you, Princess." Xiao Feng said.

Cao Wan was also dumbfounded, and hurriedly asked, "Lord Wang, is there something wrong with me?" ”

Xiao Feng shook his head and said with a smile: "You have done a good job, take good care of the child." This king is going to the palace! ”

After speaking, Xiao Feng turned around and left the house, leaving only the mother and son staring at each other.

Emperor Xia was reading in the study, and when he heard that Xiao Feng had gone and returned, he didn't plan to see him. What did he come for? It must have something to do with Huang Qilin.

Who knew that Hai Dafu said: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Duan said that he did not come to intercede for Huang Qilin, but there is something I want to ask Your Majesty, if Your Majesty does not see him, he will kneel in front of the noon gate and kneel until Your Majesty sees him!" ”

Emperor Xia was stunned and put down the book in his hand.

"Xuan!" Emperor Xia replied.

Hai Dafu immediately went to invite Xiao Feng.

Xiao Feng entered the imperial study, his heart that had just fluctuated suddenly calmed down, he knelt down, and saluted: "My father is above, and my son's minister Xiao Feng has something that he has buried in his heart for many years and wants to ask, and beg his father to give his son an answer!" ”

Emperor Xia was surprised, and felt that Xiao Feng's state was different from the past, he was cautious and cautious before, for fear of revealing his inner thoughts in front of outsiders. Today he is bold and courageous, showing his true nature.

Emperor Xia put down the book and asked, "What do you want to ask?" ”

Xiao Feng took a deep breath and finally asked the problem that was suppressed in his heart: "Father, where is the son of the prince not as good as the prince, is Your Majesty appointed Xiao Rui as the prince because he is the son of Concubine Rong?" ”

As soon as these words came out, the officials and forbidden soldiers in the imperial study looked shocked, and then lowered their heads.

Emperor Xia looked at Xiao Feng in surprise and shouted, "Presumptuous! Don't quit yet! ”

Xiao Feng knelt down, and said: "My father governs the country with integrity, and the selection of the prince is not based on the eldest first, but to set up an outstanding person as the prince, although it violates the ancestral teachings, but it is for the prosperity of Great Xia, and the sons are deeply admired!" But if the actual purpose of all this is to make Xiao Rui the crown prince, the sons are not only unconvinced, but also look down on their father! ”

"Bold!" Emperor Xia shouted angrily, and suddenly slapped the table and stood up, "The position of the prince is determined by me, and whoever I appoint as the crown prince is my idea, who gave you the courage to criticize me?" ”

Xiao Feng boldly looked at Emperor Xia, not afraid at all: "Erchen is presumptuous today because he is not convinced!" ”

"Not convinced?"

Xia Huang sneered, then got up and walked down. He stopped in front of Xiao Feng, looked at Xiao Feng condescendingly, and asked, "I ask you, why are you not convinced?" If you are the crown prince, what can you do in these four years? ”

Xiao Feng replied: "Xiao Rui can do what he can do!" What is the difficulty of leading the Iron Dragoon into the Qi Kingdom? I also dare to go deep into the Zhao Kingdom to assassinate Emperor Zhao! ”

"Anything else?" Xia Huang continued to ask.

Xiao Feng said: "Erchen's self-proclaimed ability is no worse than Xiao Rui, he"

"Haha"

Emperor Xia suddenly laughed, interrupting Xiao Feng's answer.

After laughing, Emperor Xia asked, "If you are the crown prince, can you bring gunpowder to Great Xia to deter the enemy country?" ”

"If you are the crown prince, can you bring new crops to Great Xia? Do you know the production of corn, potatoes, sweet potatoes, and cotton, and how many people in Daxia can be saved? ”

"If you are the crown prince, are you willing to bear the pressure to punish the family and clan?"

"If you are the crown prince, can you stabilize the fourteen states of Anxi within two years, and Zhao Min will return to his heart, and the granary will be full?"

"If you are the crown prince, can you bring excellent civil and military generals to Great Xia, and can you govern the country?"

"If you were the crown prince, would you do it yourself for the sake of the people?"

The continuous questioning made Xiao Feng speechless.

Emperor Xia said: "You think you have the ability to be the crown prince, I ask you, what are you doing when disasters in this world have come repeatedly, droughts, floods, locusts, and cold winters?" ”

"I can tell you that you've been thinking about leaving Kyoto and taking control of the army! Even if you don't care about the lives of the people, then have you ever cared about the future of Great Xia? Without the people, where is the state of Great Xia? Have you ever thought of a way to help you with a disaster? ”

"So you ask yourself, I have made you the crown prince, can you do better than Xiao Rui?"

"If you don't accept it, do you deserve it?"

After scolding, Emperor Xia sat on the dragon chair.

Xiao Feng was silent.

It doesn't matter whether His Majesty intends to make Xiao Rui the crown prince, the key is that other princes are princes, dare to say that Xiao Rui is excellent?

Xiao Feng was scolded speechless, but he smiled, and then asked: "Father, the son has one last question, does the father remember the birthday of the son?" ”

Emperor Xia nodded, his tone softened, and said: "It was the third ugly day of the fifth month, I remember that it was a rainy night, your mother had a difficult birth, I stood outside the palace and waited for an hour, and when you were born, the rainstorm stopped, and I also praised the birth of a linzi." ”

Hearing these words, Xiao Feng's accumulated emotions finally exploded, and he couldn't help but shed tears.

Yes, my ten fingers are long and short, not to mention feelings. His Majesty may love Xiao Rui more, but he also loves other children.

"The son is guilty, before the father punishes him, the son still has a big thing to do, I beg my father to grant permission!" Xiao Feng said solemnly.

Emperor Xia glared and shouted: "Get out, if you continue to mess around, don't blame me for punishing you severely!" ”

Xiao Feng shook his head and said, "Father, the death of the King of Chu was not the work of the assassins of the Zhao Kingdom, and the sons know who the real murderer is!" But please ask your father to allow your sons to do one thing, and your sons will tell you the truth! ”

Emperor Xia was stunned, seemed to understand something, and immediately slapped on the dragon case, and shouted: "Get out of here!" Don't be alarmist here! ”

Seeing this scene, Xiao Feng was not afraid in his heart, but moved.

As Huang Qilin said, the death of the king of Chu, did His Majesty really not doubt it?

Now His Majesty is unwilling to reveal the truth, isn't it a kind of protection for Xiao Feng?

A small thing actually made Xiao Feng feel the love of his father that he had never had, it turned out that it was not that his father didn't love him, but he just cast a wall by himself.

"The son has made up his mind, and begs his father for permission! Although the son dies, he will not regret it! Xiao Feng bowed.

Seeing that he was so resolute, Emperor Xia asked, "What do you want to do?" ”

Xiao Feng said: "Please invite the prince here, Your Majesty will know!" ”

Emperor Xia had no choice but to order someone to call Xiao Rui.

Xiao Rui was discussing cotton planting with several cabinet scholars when he was called away by a hurried internal official.

As soon as I inquired, I found out that Xiao Feng actually quarreled with His Majesty in the imperial study, what happened to Xiao Feng after seeing Huang Qilin? How to make this big show!

When Xiao Rui came to the imperial study, he saw Xiao Feng kneeling on the ground, and Xiao Rui greeted His Majesty.

Emperor Xia nodded, looked at Xiao Feng and asked, "The prince is here, what the hell are you going to do?" ”

Xiao Feng stood up and said, "Erchen wants to compete with the prince again, and it will be the last one!" ”

Xiao Rui looked at Xiao Feng in surprise, what the hell is this guy doing, he wants to fight with himself here?

Emperor Xia was also angry, and said angrily: "King Duan, you have been messing around until now, come here, escort him out, and lock him up in the palace!" ”

It's a pity that before the forbidden army stepped forward, Xiao Feng shot directly and slapped Xiao Rui with one palm.

Xiao Rui was helpless, so he could only punch back, and at the same time he was very angry in his heart, was I beaten when I ran here?

In this way, the two instantly became entangled with each other.

The forbidden army looked left and right, not daring to mess around, Emperor Xia sighed, waved his hand to let the forbidden army retreat, let these two compete.

The last time was a contest when they met in Qishui County, and the two fought exhausted, and they didn't know whether they won or lost. Now that two years have passed, both of them have made full progress, and I don't know how to win or lose.

However, what made Xiao Rui curious was what Xiao Feng said, why was it the last battle, and what were Xiao Feng's plans?

But at this time, Xiao Rui couldn't think about it anymore, he had to deal with Xiao Feng well.

There are no eyes in the fists and feet, and the two of them are fists and fists in the imperial study, without mercy.

Xiao Feng's palm technique is becoming more and more ferocious, his palm is like steel, and he can crack stones, it seems that he has specialized in hard skills such as iron sand palms.

Xiao Rui's fist is not inferior, after returning to Beijing from Zhao Guo, Xiao Rui let Hua Tuo start the last needle, which is used to stimulate potential, plus taking the only remaining meat Buddha pill to improve his strength, Xiao Rui unexpectedly stepped into the ranks of the four-rank martial artists.

Xiao Feng also entered the fourth-grade martial artist, and he has been idle in the mansion for a year and a half, he practices martial arts every day, if he can't enter the fourth-grade martial artist, it will be too rubbish.

The two clashed fists, the fight was hot, and when it was difficult to tell the winner, Xiao Feng took a deep breath and suddenly retracted.

Xiao Rui took the opportunity to hit his elbow and hit him in the chest, knocking him away.

This blow was hard enough, and it hurt so much that Xiao Feng lay on the ground for a while before he got up.

"What the hell? Did you deliberately let me? Xiao Rui couldn't help but ask.

Xiao Feng shook his head and said, "I've already lost." I practice martial arts all day long, you have to pay private visits, and you have to deal with state affairs, so that the competition is equal to you, and I have already lost. This time, I was convinced! ”

After speaking, Xiao Feng came to the dragon case and knelt down, and said slowly: "Father, the death of the king of Chu was shot by his son!" King Jing's leg was also shot by Erchen! ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.

Xiao Rui was also stunned, and looked at Xiao Feng in surprise, what the hell is this?

Could it be that he was afraid that he would assassinate him, so he deliberately confessed to the law? This is not in line with his ambitions at all, hasn't he been clamoring to take the throne? Now take the initiative to admit it, then there is no room for recovery.
