Unfolding the map, Si Nan pointed to Xia Ziran and pointed to the two places on the top that were circled in red:

"If you don't believe me, you can go to two places on this map and take a sneak peek. One of these two places is where Xia Ziqi smelts weapons, and the other is where he trains private soldiers. ”

Pushing the map to Xia Ziran, Si Nan said:

"I'll come back to you when you confirm."

After a pause, she suddenly thought of something and reminded:

"Don't tell Xia Zixun about me coming to you for the time being, he shouldn't have told you these things yet, you'd better not talk about it in front of him."

Looking at the two marked places on the map that were very eye-catching, Xia Ziran nodded slowly:

"Okay."

Immediately followed by Si Nan, he quietly left the Jingwang Mansion.

The candle flame was still beating, and a drop of candle wax rolled down silently.

Xia Ziran put away the map, raised his hand and turned off the lights, planning to go to these two places tonight to explore.

Palace.

Xia Zixun sat in front of the bookcase, holding a pen and drafting a holy decree.

Feng Ran stood quietly beside him, wanting to speak and stopping.

His Majesty seems to be determined not to be the emperor anymore.

After holding it for a while, he still couldn't help but ask:

"Your Majesty, why do you suddenly want to give way to His Royal Highness King Jing?"

Didn't you plan to give up the throne to King Xuan before?

Why did you change your mind on the last minute?

After writing the last word, Xia Zixun pressed a seal on the holy decree with a jade seal, and replied:

"I wanted to give the throne to King Xuan before, but I didn't realize that there was actually a more suitable candidate to be the emperor than him."

Because Xia Ziran has been fighting abroad all the year round, he has almost forgotten this candidate who is more suitable for being the emperor than him.

After all, if it weren't for Xia Ziran's mother's low status, this throne would not have fallen to him.

And at the very beginning, the first emperor regarded Xia Ziran as the best candidate for the crown prince.

It's just that he couldn't withstand the pressure of the queen mother and the ministers of the court at that time, so the first emperor had to choose Xia Zixun as the crown prince to inherit the throne.

In terms of strategy, Xia Ziran is on par with Xia Zixun, but if it is about force, Xia Zixun is also better.

It couldn't have been more fitting for him to give up the throne.

Xia Zixun rolled up the holy decree that had already dried up the ink, and began to think about why he didn't think that there was such a good candidate as his imperial brother in the first place.

Almost, almost about to give up the throne that should have belonged to Xia Ziran.

Now he is doing this as a return to its rightful owner.

One night later.

Xia Ziran had already believed everything Si Nan said to her by investigating the two places on the map.

Originally, he still didn't believe it, but at dawn, he actually saw King Xuan personally training in the private barracks.

The fact that Xia Ziqi, who had made him firmly believe in martial arts before, disappeared directly when he saw that scene.

And listening to what Xia Ziqi said to those soldiers at that time, he seemed to be planning to start raising troops to usurp the throne in the near future.

Standing outside his courtyard, Xia Ziran crossed his waist and snorted heavily.

As the eldest prince of the Xia Dynasty, he would never allow this kind of killing his brother to seize the throne.

If his seizure of the throne becomes a success, it will undoubtedly set a precedent for future kings of the Xia Dynasty.

If someone follows his example and usurps the throne, then the Xia Dynasty will not be far from chaos.

"Confirmed?"

A familiar female voice sounded behind him.

Xia Ziran looked in the direction from which the voice came, and was silent for a long time before nodding slightly.

"What do you want me to do?"

Si Nan had a faint smile on the corner of his lips, and lazily leaned on the rockery on the side:

"You have the general military power of the Xia Dynasty in your hands, you just need to deploy your troops in advance, in case Xia Ziqi usurps the throne."
