Since the queen's incident broke out, the prince has become the most unlikely heir in Emperor Xia's heart, if the prince is incompetent, it is okay, he is used as a puppet, just to balance the court, and the more wise and capable the prince is, the more Emperor Xia will look at him unpleasantly.

The queen did something wrong, the prince was innocent, and he was implicated in so many crimes, but even if Emperor Xia felt that the prince was innocent, he would not allow the prince who came out of the queen's womb to inherit the Xia Dynasty, this is his bottom line, so it is necessary to abolish the prince, it is only a matter of time.

But Shen Jinqiao didn't expect Emperor Xia to be so impatient.

The crown prince had just stood firm in the court, but Emperor Xia had already dug out the abyss, waiting for the prince to jump down.

Possession of weapons and captivity of private soldiers, no matter who is put on the head, is a big crime of killing the head, and Emperor Xia actually let people cultivate such people in the name of the prince, and they also clearly in the name of seeking power and seizing the throne, for fear that those people will not know that the prince wants to kill his father and take the throne.

This matter, the prince's people and her people did not receive any news, it can be seen that Emperor Xia is cautious and strict, if it is not for the Seven Princes to talk about it, they will not notice it at all, and when Emperor Xia feels that the time is ripe to launch, they will know, I am afraid that it will be too late.

These people are loyal to the prince and identify the prince, but they don't know that they are actually people cultivated by Emperor Xia, once the incident happens, even if the prince is innocent, once it involves his life, they will definitely bite the prince to death, and even if the prince dies, he will not be able to prove his innocence, this is the most sinister part of Emperor Xia's intentions.

But even if you know, these things are not in a hurry, Shen Jinqiao waited for the prince to come back and discuss it carefully, but the seventh prince went out from her and went to the Bai family to give Bai Youran a gift, and said that he came to see her to ask Bai Youran's preferences.

This is a good excuse, she has a good relationship with Bai Youran, and the Seventh Prince has a marriage contract with Bai Youran, which is reasonable.

However, although the Seven Princes did her a favor, they also caused her a lot of trouble, but she promised Bai Youran to help her delay her marriage with the Seventh Prince, if the Seventh Prince liked Bai Youran, this matter would not be easy to do.

Last time she wrote to Yan Qing, she didn't write anymore, and she didn't know what was going on between him and Youran, which really worried the people next to her.

The prince came back at night, with a little wound on his arm, and was injured by King Yu's arrow when hunting, and King Yu didn't get a good deal, and was directly pierced by the arrow in his arm, and the injury was worse than him.

So are they hunting each other as prey?

Shen Jinqiao showed the letter sent by the Seventh Prince to the crown prince, but the prince was not much surprised, but surprised Shen Jinqiao: "Your Royal Highness has already known?" ”

The prince shook his head: "I don't know, but I also noticed it, but I didn't expect him to fight with such an idea." ”

As he spoke, he lit the letter and threw it into the brazier to burn it: "Your Majesty has done this very rigorously, I can't find out if I have the heart to investigate, but I didn't expect Lao Qi's hand to be stretched out quite long, and he knew it so clearly." ”

Shen Jinqiao: "Since this matter is true, the sincerity of the Seventh Prince is very full, but what is he trying to do?" ”

"Who knows? It won't be selfless dedication. "How much brotherhood can a royal brother have? Everything is calculated, but everyone has different plans.

Ever since he knew that Emperor Xia had buried such a hidden danger, Shen Jinqiao was a little panicked in his heart, knowing that there was such a hidden danger but not eradicating it, people would always be worried.

The next day, King Yu was assassinated and poisoned and fell unconscious, and the imperial doctor went to six or seven, so he finally saved King Yu's life.

King Yu lay down, as for how he was assassinated and poisoned, King Yu sealed his mouth, and it was difficult to know outside.

Shen Jinqiao didn't delve into it after hearing it, but he didn't know that there was a big article in it.

Three days after the assassination of King Yu, the Northwest War reported that the Northwest Jin Kingdom suddenly went to war, and the 200,000 troops pressed the border, menacing.

The huge Xia Kingdom is naturally not afraid of the Jin Kingdom, and there is also the Zhenguo General Qi Family in the northwest to guard it, so there is no need to panic.

As soon as the war started, King Yu dragged the sick body into the palace and asked to return to the border pass, he had been in the border pass for many years, and there was a perennial garrison place, where the terrain was dangerous, and it would be unimaginable if it was broken by someone.

However, even if King Yu was extremely eager to return to the border pass, could Emperor Xia and the ministers agree when they saw his weak appearance?

King Yu's request was rejected, and he was so excited that he made a fuss, and finally he was taken out by the two forbidden soldiers.

I heard that after King Yu went back, he wanted to secretly leave to go to the border pass, but he was found and stopped because of his weak body.

Everyone sighed that King Yu was loyal to the country and the people, on the third day, King Yu's words came true, the fortress he was stationed in was captured, where it was easy to defend and difficult to attack, but it was a dangerous fortress that soldiers must fight, there were only 10,000 soldiers stationed, but the Jin country used a full 40,000 people to attack, the number of people was very different, and the soldiers were struggling to defend, but after all, they could not withstand the general trend.

After King Yu knew it, he didn't struggle anymore, and he didn't go to the border pass, he just lay on the bed and didn't say a word.

After this incident, the war at this pass has finally made people pay more and more attention, especially the people of the Jin country are extremely vicious, killing people when they see them, and hundreds of people have been murdered, which makes people even more angry.

King Yu could not go to the border pass, and someone immediately proposed that the prince personally conquer.

Before the prince went to the southwest, whether it was disaster relief or war, the prince's ability was undoubted, and the prince was born in Buddhism, and he was known as the son of Buddhism, which can most appease people's hearts and is an excellent candidate.

Emperor Xia also agreed when he heard it: "The prince is very Buddha-like, can unite people's hearts, calm the panic of the people, and the prince is both civil and military, and he is indeed the best candidate." ”

As soon as King Ming heard that the prince was pushed out, he was immediately happy, and glanced at the prince who had no expression: "Looking at the expression of the fourth emperor brother, it seems that he is not very happy?" ”

King Ming can't do anything else, and the cool words are the most smooth.

The prince's expression was faint: "It's just a fortress, why are you so panicked, you have to be alone at every turn, you are running horses and having fun when the Qi family has been guarding the northwest for more than 20 years?" King Yu's people can't hold a fortress, which can only prove that they can't work hard, but it doesn't mean that the Qi family can't either, the sixth brother ...... Is that right? ”

King Ming: "......" was choked in an instant, who doesn't know that Leng Yi married Qi Shaoyu, this Qi family is the person of King Ming, and now the prince is so elevated to the Qi family, can King Ming step on it himself?

"Qi Family...... It is indeed powerful, the old general has guarded the northwest for many years, and his military achievements are impressive...... However, this Jin country is menacing, with an army of 200,000 troops......"

The prince raised his hand: "Han Shangshu, how many people are there in the Northwest Army?" ”

Han Zheng, the secretary of the military department, stepped forward: "Back to Your Highness, the Northwest Army has more than 530,000 troops, of which the Qi family army accounts for 150,000. ”

The crown prince stared at King Ming: "Does the sixth brother think that 200,000 troops are too much?" ”

King Ming's face turned red into a pig's liver, and he couldn't speak.

The prince bowed his hand to Emperor Xia: "Father, the sixth brother has always said that he admires the general of Zhenguo, and the son thinks this is a good opportunity, let the sixth brother go to the northwest with the Qi army, see the battlefield, take a look at the demeanor of my Great Xia Kingdom, the prince of my Xia Kingdom, I have never been to the border pass, I have never seen the battlefield fighting, isn't it like a frog at the bottom of the well?" The sixth brother is not young, and it is time to increase his knowledge. ”

Speaking of this, the words changed: "Erchen knows that the sixth brother is average, and he has never seen the cruelty of war, but he follows General Qi Shao, General Qi is strong in martial arts, and he will definitely be able to protect King Ming." ”

"You...... I ......" As soon as King Ming heard that he was going to the battlefield, he was so anxious that he couldn't find a rebuttal, and finally waved his hand angrily: "I won't go, I'm going to go yourself." ”

King Ming was annoyed and angry, but the prince laughed, the more King Ming was unwilling to go, the more reasonable what the prince said, the prince who had never seen the battlefield was a frog at the bottom of the well, and he didn't even dare to go to the battlefield, what qualifications did such a person have to be supported as a king?

King Yu wanted to send the prince to the northwest, and the prince would lead the water to the east, and they had to force the prince to conquer in person, so King Ming must go before the prince.
