, the fastest update of the latest chapter of the Championship Record!

Although Hou Pingpan was also very annoyed, he still secretly regretted the gaffe of the Star King, what Xia Xiang wanted was to provoke the Star King, but the Star King still couldn't hold back after all, and fell in love with Xia Xiang's way. It's only to blame Xia Xiang for pretending to be the mouth of Master Shanlai, not to say that Master Shanlai has a hexagram left, Master Shanlai is now gone west, even if outsiders don't believe it, there is no way to verify it.

Xia Xiang is really cunning!

King Jing knew that he would miss the opportunity if he didn't come forward again, so he took a step forward, laughed, took away the hand of the Star King who grabbed Xia Xiang's collar and said, "Why should the third brother be like this? Xia Xiang is just saying that Master Shanlai's hexagram is just listening, you don't have to be angry, let alone do it in front of the emperor, which not only makes the emperor laugh at you for not measuring, but also makes the officials see that you have no self-cultivation. ”

King Jing's words, obviously persuasion, but in fact, beating, the Star King's face turned blue and white, stunned for a moment, and saw that the emperor's face was not good, so he had to let go of Xia Xiang stupidly.

Xia Xiang tidied up his clothes and saluted the Star King: "His Royal Highness the King of the Star of the Lower Official's collar grabbed it with his own hands, and from now on he can no longer wear it, so he should put it on the shelf and worship it." ”

"Okay, okay, don't make any more trouble." The emperor looked displeased, "You guys are so nonsense, do you really think I have a good temper?" ”

"I don't dare." Xia Xiang hurriedly said respectfully, "The minister then said the second hexagram that Master Shanlai said: the sun and the moon are beautiful, and the yin is intimidating. Bailing comes to court, with two feathers and four legs. Song said: There are saints in China today, although they are not heroes, they are also Zhou Cheng. Siyi is retranslated as the Son of Heaven, or Ji Tai comes to the Nine Kingdoms Spring. ”

The emperor was stunned for a moment, and then rejoiced: "What is the explanation of this hexagram?" ”

The Star King's face was cloudy, and he was not in a hurry and lost his temper, but he also intended to test the emperor. I don't want the emperor to be as tepid as before, and he can't help but have doubts in his heart, the emperor's condition is mostly better, and his heart has returned to his previous pride? The most important thing is, does the emperor really know that going to Xingzhou will be a big murderous trip? Or is it that the emperor sent Song Chaodu and Li Dingshan to Xingzhou early, just to arrange the driving matter, or did he go ahead of the layout?

The Star King suddenly found that he really couldn't see through the emperor. I used to think that the emperor was being played by him, but now I found out that the emperor was not really confused, maybe it was really as Xia Xiang said, it was the black rabbit who walked into the green dragon's lair.

Although the Star King, the Cloud King, and Hou Pingpan had already discussed the emperor's decision to go to Xingzhou again many times, they still did not come to a unanimous conclusion. The Star King thought that although the emperor was in most good health, he also guessed that he intended to rebel, but the general trend was gone, and he could only be at his mercy. King Yun also has the same opinion, only Hou Pingpan feels that behind the emperor's too obedience, he is afraid that he is secretly harboring evil intentions and intends to take the opportunity to fight back.

After receiving Cui Xiang's letter, the Star King immediately decided to kill Liu Changting to prevent the situation from getting out of control further. Although Liu Changting died, Xie Huagai was disheartened and disappeared, which was a major blow to his layout in Zhending, but for the sake of the overall situation, Liu Changting could only ensure that the next plan was safe if he died.

The Star King's layout for Zhending is not only in Zhending, but also in the backhand. It's not that he is not worried about Cui Xiang, nor is he not trusting Wu Yidong enough, but he is not sure about Xia Xiang. originally thought that sending Xia Xiang to Ren Zhending was a good move, but as the situation changed more and more out of control, he found out the problem, the reason why the emperor agreed to Xia Xiang to go to Zhending to serve as the magistrate of the county was mostly to make a plan, and what he wanted was to let Xia Xiang destroy his good deeds in Zhending and let Xia Xiang serve the emperor.

At first, the Star King didn't think that Xia Xiang had much ability to gain a firm foothold in Zhending, but he didn't want Xia Xiang to get a firm foothold after arriving in Zhending, not only did he quickly gain a firm foothold, but also because of Dong Da's case, he found out his connections and relationship network in Zhending clearly, and it also brought a devastating blow, which made him very annoyed and couldn't kill Xia Xiang at the same time, he had to admire Xia Xiang for being Li Dingshan's student, who had both wisdom and skill, and also won the following and trust of many people.

It's just that even so, the Star King still comforted himself again and again, the reason why Xia Xiang was so good was not because of his strength, but because he had Lian Ruohan's help. He didn't think deeply about who was behind Lian Ruohan's support, until Lian Ruohan intercepted the iron ore supply of Guangjin Commercial Bank and helped Xia Xiang build Xiajiazhuang, and then Lian Ruohan persuaded Han Meng and Xia Xiang to persuade Wu Yidong, he suddenly realized that behind Xia Xiang and Lian Ruohan's seamless team-up, there seemed to be an invisible giant hand commanding everything remotely, and the two joined forces to cut off the net of heaven and earth that he had carefully laid in Zhending, and even Yan Hao was broken and almost died here.

The invisible giant hand Apart from the emperor, who else has such power to make Lian Ruohan and Xia Xiang obey their orders? The Star King gradually saw the situation clearly, although the emperor was sick, he was still bright-eyed, and he was secretly arranging to fight against his plan step by step.

Since it is really determined that the whole thing will be lost, it is better to choose a place to fight again, although the Star King hates what Xia Xiang has done, and he can't wait to kill him quickly, but the most important thing at the moment is the emperor's southern tour. It was he who swallowed the evil breath in his heart and continued to lay out the next step.

What surprised him was that when he proposed to go south to Xingzhou after the Zhending Southern Tour to pay tribute to the soldiers killed by Taizong in the Battle of Xingzhou, the emperor agreed to come down without a moment's hesitation, and he couldn't help but wonder again why the emperor was so confident and jumped into the trap he dug without hesitation? The Star King knew very well that Zheng Shan's file had been presented to the emperor, and the emperor was already clear about the behind-the-scenes caused by Dong Da's case, that is to say, he wanted to really set his intention to attack the emperor, and the emperor was clear in his heart.

Since the emperor already knew his thoughts, why did he agree to come to Zhending and go to Xingzhou again? The emperor naturally knows that the layout of Zhending has been broken, and there is no danger of Zhending, but Xingzhou has, and the situation of Xingzhou is the bureau he laid out at the same time as the layout of Zhending, Xingzhou is not better than Zhending, Xingzhou has neither Xia Xiang nor Lian Ruohan, and the situation of Xingzhou is more hidden and deceptive, the emperor has no capable person in Xingzhou to break the situation, why does the emperor have to risk his life?

The speculation of the Star King is not unreasonable, the gentleman does not stand under the dangerous wall, let alone the emperor who is the honor of the Ninety-Five. Since the emperor knows what is really decided, he will go to Xingzhou again, unless the emperor is confident and has laid a back hand in Xingzhou, or the emperor will plan and set a trap in Xingzhou, and he and Hou Pingpan will be wiped out.

But...... The Star King firmly believes that the land of Xingzhou is a flat river, and there is no danger to defend, and it is impossible for the emperor to ambush the soldiers and horses. And Tan Cong, the governor of Xingzhou, is a person who forgets his righteousness for profit, and has been bought by him. What made the emperor even more unexpected was that his strange soldiers were neither official nor forbidden troops, and the emperor could not have a counterattack.

So the emperor knew that there were many dangers, but he had to go, could it be that it was really for the demon girl? The Star King was convinced that the emperor had met the demon girl in the secret source, although he had never seen it with his own eyes, but he knew the emperor very well, and when he saw the emperor's dejected appearance, he could conclude that the emperor must love this woman deeply.

Even for the rumors that the emperor and the demon girl have a son, the star king has no doubts. If the emperor really found the demon girl and his own son, his dream of succession would be completely disappointed, so he made up his mind to go to Xingzhou, and he must let the emperor stay in Xingzhou, and he could not let the emperor return to the capital.

Although the demon girl and the emperor met in the west mountain of the capital, more than ten years of rumors about the demon girl have been continuous, some say that she once appeared in the Zhending Hutuo River, some say that she once appeared in the deep mountains and old forests of Lingshou, and recently some people claim to have seen the demon girl in a village in the east of Xingzhou. Because the demon girl looks like a fairy, and the emperor has asked the palace painter to paint countless portraits of the demon girl, and distribute them to the local government, hoping to know the whereabouts of the demon girl. Some people report it indiscriminately for the sake of reward, but some people swear that they really saw the demon girl. If so, no matter where the news comes from, the emperor will send someone to check it out.

But every time it came to nothing.

This time, Tan Cong, the governor of Xingzhou, reported that someone in a village in the east of Xingzhou had seen a demon girl appear, and said that the demon girl lived in a forest east of the village. The woods are about ten miles in circumference, deserted, and no one usually goes. When a woodcutter gets lost and is about to starve to death, the witch comes to his rescue and tells him not to say anything when he goes out. When the woodcutter came out of the woods, he forgot his promise and preached it everywhere. As a result, I took people to check, in addition to the trees or trees in the woods, where is there the shadow of the demon girl?

This matter reached the ears of the emperor in the capital, and it was when the emperor was about to make a real trip to the south. When the Star King proposed to the emperor to go to Xingzhou from Zhending, the idea that the emperor would not agree flashed in his heart, and he was still surprised if he didn't want the emperor to agree. Although he didn't think that the emperor went to Xingzhou for the demon girl, he still couldn't believe that the emperor really had an infatuation that he didn't love the country and loved the beauty, and he had to risk his life for a demon girl, which was also incomprehensible.

However, no matter what the emperor's purpose was to go to Xingzhou, the Star King had already made up his mind, and he was determined to win a battle in Xingzhou.

It's just that he never thought that today on the dragon boat, Xia Xiangjie had a branch, borrowed the last words of the master from kindness, and bewitched the public, wanting to correct the emperor's name, he couldn't help but be angry in his heart. In the battle of Xingzhou, even if he won a complete victory and the emperor unfortunately died, in order to hide people's eyes and ears and prevent the world from scolding and laughing, he also had to correct his name and establish that his succession to the throne was in accordance with the time of heaven and was the only orthodox image.

Xia Xiangcai ignored the Star King's thoughts, and he continued, "The sun and the moon are beautiful, and the yin is intimidating...... It is said that the emperor will revive the dynasty, and Daxia will restore the prosperity of the country, and the young people and traitors will be convinced. Bailing comes to court, with two feathers and four legs...... It is said that the four seas surrendered, and envoys from various countries came to the court one after another to submit to the emperor's cultural and martial arts. Song said: There are saints in China today, although they are not heroes, they are also Zhou Cheng. Siyi is retranslated as the Son of Heaven, otherwise the Nine Kingdoms Spring...... It can be seen that the emperor is a saint in China, and people from all over the world come to worship the emperor and praise the emperor as a saint. Great Xia is not extremely Tailai, and since then, it has gone through nine generations of emperors and the spring has not decreased. ”

"Haha......" the emperor laughed heartily, "Hearing you say this, I will be blessed by misfortune and become a generation of saints from now on?" ”

"The emperor was originally a generation of holy monarchs, but the summer room was declining, the traitors stole their lives, and the lord was covered with dust. Nowadays, the Hutuo River is unimpeded, and the silt has been cleared and emptied, which is the time to make contributions. "Long live Xia Xiangkou," the emperor is really determined to tour the south, observe the people's feelings, cruise on the Hutuo River, the rivers and mountains are thousands of miles, the sun is clear, the whole world celebrates, the minister has a poem, and is willing to dedicate it to my emperor to help the fun. ”

The emperor was in high spirits and smiled: "Okay, good, I'm listening." ”

"The great river comes from the middle of the ten thousand mountains, and the mountains are all the way to the east of the river. Zhongshan is like a dragon going to the west alone, wanting to break the huge waves and ride the long wind. Xia Xiang chanted poetry and quietly glanced at Jin Jia.

"Good poems, good poems, good 'big rivers come from the mountains, the mountains are exhausted and the rivers flow east', the momentum is like a rainbow, straight into the sky." Jin Jia understood, took the opportunity to answer, and suddenly pointed from afar, "Your Majesty, this is the slack season at this time, why are farmers still working in the fields?" No, it looks like a manor is being built here. ”

The emperor looked in the direction of the golden armor finger, and was immediately stunned, in the distance, on the endless wilderness, thousands of peasants were working, and in the middle of the field, there was a manor for several miles being built. Although it is winter, it is a thriving and hot scene.

"Xia Zhixian, what is this?" The emperor no longer called Xia Xiang by name, but changed his name to Xia Zhixian, and his tone was much soothed, "Why are farmers also working in winter?" ”

"Back to the emperor, this place is a wilderness, and the fields are also salt land that cannot be planted with crops, after the minister clears out the silt at the bottom of the Hutuo River, let the displaced people spread on the wasteland, and the wasteland becomes fertile land." Xia Xiang saw that the time was ripe, so he said in one breath, "And because the cold winter is coming, if the homeless people have no place to live, it is difficult to survive the winter, so the minister will assign all the fertile land and homeless people to the good times, and the good times will always be funded by Lian Niangzi to build Xiajiazhuang for the homeless people to live." There is a field to plant and a house to live in, and the displaced people can not only survive the winter in peace, but also sow seeds at the beginning of spring next year, so that they can live and work in peace and contentment, and be grateful to the emperor. ”

The emperor couldn't help but wonder: "This matter is very good, but why are there so many homeless people in Zhending County?" ”

"Don't believe the words of the minister." Xia Xiang said, "As a true magistrate, the minister will definitely think about his own official reputation, and his speech will inevitably be biased, so it is better to ask the emperor to move off the boat, walk among the people, and listen to what the people have to say." ”

"Your Majesty, by all means." Hou Pingpan and Cui Xiang dissuaded almost at the same time.

Hou Pingpan took the first step: "Your Majesty, there is confusion among the homeless people, in case someone wants to do something wrong, the emperor's body of ten thousand gold cannot be risked." ”

Cui Xiang also said anxiously: "Your Majesty, the law and order in the city are good, and most of the displaced people outside the city are chickens and dogs. Think twice! ”
