is in the court, and he is the son of the former emperor, and among the hundred officials, he also has a lot of praise. These are all used to describe Xia Chun, but it is precisely because of such praise that the Great Xia Emperor is jealous.

Just imagine, which emperor is willing to let his successor live under the reputation of his imperial uncle? The so-called Megatron Imperial Court, Gong Gaogai is probably talking about characters like Xia Chun.

"The ancestral convention, it's better not to go against it! Besides, the minister has already planned to stay away from the court and return to Liangzhou to enjoy the mountains and rivers from the end of spring next year! Xia Zheng's words sounded very good, but Xia Chun had already understood his thoughts, "Besides, there have been rumors recently that there is a cold wizard in the Liangzhou area, and the younger brother is a little interested in him, so ......"

"Humph!"

Before Xia Chun's words were finished, he was interrupted by Xia Zheng's cold snort.

"My deadline is approaching, and there are not many middle-aged and powerful ministers in the court, and you are the only one in the Xia family who is the most virtuous and capable, can't you stay to assist Chang'er? Chang'er is young and has no ability, and he can't control some courtiers, as his imperial uncle, can't you think about him? I don't think the position of the chief assistant to participate in politics is negotiable, it's you! ”

"I feel that my time is short, and I only hope that you can hold Chang'er on the throne for three years. After he is weak, then he will be able to pro-government, and you, as the emperor's uncle, will be able to retire! ”

"Your Majesty spoke, the minister should not have continued to insist! However, the law of the ancestors is immutable, and it is also what Your Majesty often says, how can you abandon the family law of the ancestors because of a subordinate person? Xia Chun listened to Xia Zheng's words, and his heart was originally relaxed, but after thinking about it, he seemed to feel that something was wrong, "What's more, since the minister took power, there have been words slandering the minister in the court, saying that after a hundred years of Your Majesty, the minister will definitely be a generation of powerful ministers!" Such slander, the minister really dare not take it! Besides, what Your Majesty knows in his heart, I'm afraid you know it even better! ”

Xia Chun didn't break what Xia Zheng thought in his heart, but he also reminded Xia Zheng clearly why he Xia Chun came today, and why did he Xia Zheng let Xia Chun move to Chonghua Palace. All this, as Xia Chun said, Xia Zheng knew it - the fundamental reason was that he was afraid that after a hundred years, Xia Chun would pose a threat to Xia Chang's throne.

The predecessors paved the road, and the descendants drove well; The predecessors planted the trees, and the descendants enjoyed the shade; The predecessors planted good flowers, and the descendants appreciated them. Now, when Xia Zheng is seriously ill, what he has to do is to pave the way for Xia Chang's succession, plant trees, and plant flowers. Otherwise, there would be no auxiliary ministers such as Cao You, Wei Entropy, and Gao Shen. And the most important point is to ensure the security of the throne.

Who is the biggest threat to the throne is obviously him Xia Chun. In addition to this threat, it is either to kill, or to be tempted by profit, or to seize power.

Obviously, it is impossible for Xia Zheng to kill Xia Chun, after all, Xia Chun has been self-denying for so many years, and there seems to be no reason for him, the emperor, to kill this younger brother.

The temptation of interests, obviously the position of the first assistant to participate in politics, is a temptation. After all, the person sitting in that position could be said to be the ruler of Great Xia before the new emperor's weak crown. At least, Xia Chun, who is the first assistant to participate in politics, has to consider some things outside of his body if he wants to usurp the throne.

As for seizing his power, I am afraid that there is no way to oust Xia Chun from the position of the supervisor of the three provinces. The so-called supervision envoys of the three provinces are mainly responsible for supervising the work of the heads of the ministries and departments of the three provinces, which is similar to the work of the head of the Organization Department and the Minister of Supervision in Qin Yi's previous life.

Because of this, Xia Chun has such a good reputation and popularity in the court.

This is a resource, an interpersonal resource that makes Xia Zheng fearful.

All of this led to the previous holy decree in the Eight Sages Palace.

Listening to Xia Chun's words, Xia Zheng's face darkened, and when he knelt on the ground, his face turned pale, as if both of them heard what Xia Chun meant. However, Xia Zheng, who was still the old emperor, reacted quickly: "Since this is the case, then follow your plan!" ”

"Retire! Call the three of them, Gao Shen, Cao You, and Wei Entropy! ”

"Yes, my brother is retiring!"

After Xia Chun left, Xia Zheng lay down in pain and pointed at Xia Chang with his finger: "Chang'er, do you know why your father did this?" ”

Xia Chang heard Xia Zheng's question, nodded at first, but then shook his head again: "Father, take care of your body, these things are a matter of course!" ”

"If that's not the case, even if your Eighth Emperor Uncle doesn't want to compete for the throne, the minister who has a good relationship with him will force him to wear a yellow robe! I'm telling you now, don't look at the harmony of the courtiers, maybe they're doing something behind their backs, and I'm going to drive you out of power, a hairy boy! ”

As soon as these words came out, Xia Chang's face turned pale. He naturally understood what Xia Zheng said, it was like the feeling of seeing the blue sky through the clouds, Xia Chang already knew what kind of danger he was in.

"As a father, I can only arrange all this for you in my lifetime, and the rest of the road will depend on you!"

At the same time, Xia Chun walked out of Chaoyang Palace, called the three people, and walked towards Chonghua Palace. Halfway through, he suddenly stopped, then turned a palace gate and entered another fork in the road.

The flying snow in Jizhou City is getting bigger and bigger, especially at the end of the fork in the road that Xia Chun entered, the flying snow is even bigger, and the snow on the ground is thicker.

At the end of the fork in the road, there is a ruin, and under the cover of snow, some traces of the fire can still be faintly seen.

This ruin, not anywhere else, is the Weiyang Palace, the place where the story of the tanuki prince takes place.

"Seventeen years later, this place is still the same as it was at the beginning, nothing has changed!"

The ruins of Weiyang Palace, for seventeen years, still maintain the original charred appearance, and have not changed much. There are no weeds growing here, and there are no signs of repair.

People say that the evil spirit of Chen Ji, the mother of the tanuki prince, is buried here, and it is always strange, so not many people approach here.

"It's impossible for a normal woman to give birth to a tanuki?"

Such doubts have always surrounded Xia Chun's mind, but there seems to be a conclusion about the tanuki prince.

"What did Wei Entropy do that day? What happened to the whereabouts of the Weiyang Seven Divine Eagles? ”

The snow is still falling, and the temperature is getting colder and colder.

With the arrival of midwinter, not only Jizhou, but also Liangzhou. The Yellow River passes through Liangzhou, then enters Jinju, and finally enters the sea at Kunzhou. Going upriver along the Yellow River, the scenery outside the northern country will once again be displayed in front of the world.

On December 30th, the New Year of Great Xia arrived, and all the families were reunited on this day, including the Qin family where Qin Yi was located. At this time, after Qin Yi finished his business trip in Yongzhou, he returned to Xining Town.

It also snowed in Liangzhou, and it also fell in Xirong outside Liangzhou, and in the middle of the night on this Chinese New Year's Eve, a fast horse went straight to a central town in Xirong: "Report!" Emperor Xia Yanping was merged into the anointing, and the prince Xia Chang was located in advance, and the auxiliary minister was Zhu Pi on his behalf! ”

"Fabulous! During the national funeral of the Xia Dynasty, I Xirong can accomplish a great event, immediately order all the departments of the grassland to be rebuilt, and order Ouyang Zhi to send an envoy to Northern Hungary to ask for reinforcements! ”
