Chapter 48: Seize the Emperor

The Nine-Tailed Demon Fox Demon King left the palace with her three demons of the fox clan, and it is not an exaggeration to say that she is the biggest beneficiary of this whole thing, stealing the Great Xia Qi to nourish the Fox Ancestor, and getting a big hole card, although if you continue to steal, you can make the Fox Ancestor exert more powerful power, such as the Purple Mansion Realm, but since Xia Guifan is here, she is destined to not be able to continue, so she reached an agreement to evacuate the palace and return to the wilderness.

Besides, Xia Guifan's side, he used the Ecstasy Dafa to ask the old man Tianshu if the martial arts hou was involved, and the old man Tianshu replied that he did not know whether the martial arts hou was involved in it, and he had not been in contact with him.

Zhou Xingyuan, the eldest son of the Marquis of Wugong, was involved, and Zhou Pengtian must have been unaware, and his cultivation was too low to be involved. If the martial arts marquis participated, it will be a great enemy.

When asked about the core secret of the Star Sect, the old man of Tianshu was obviously not in good health, and when he looked at it again, he was completely out of breath, it seemed that the Star Sect had set some kind of prohibition in the minds of the people of their sect, Xia Guifan was not angry, and in the future, there would be time to settle accounts with the Star Sect.

After cleaning up the battlefield, he got the record book of the five-star gathering array method, and got a lot of medium-grade mysterious weapons, pills, and spirit runes, but there was no law, but unfortunately it was dispensable for him, but the mosquito legs were also meat, so he still took it.

Huo Lexuan has recovered after some pranayama.

The two went out of the palace and found an inn to rest.

Star Sect, in a starry sky hall, the man on the throne with the stars in his eyes emitted a violent light on his body, and after a while, the man spoke: "Six more people died, the Seven Star Vein Lord and five people under the vein, could it be that Emperor Xia left any means after his death?" ”

"Come on, send more people to the Great Xia Imperial Capital."

……

Three days later, a lot of things happened in the past few days, the crown prince was in power and ascended the throne, and it seemed that there was an invisible hand behind his back, and the other princes and princesses did not agree and divided into three camps.

The older generation of ministers headed by the prime minister, as well as the authoritative eunuchs in the palace, believed in the inheritance of the eldest son, and the body of the crown prince, who was already the crown prince, had forcibly let the prince ascend the throne as the emperor, mainly controlling the officials, households, and rites of Zhongshu Province, Menxia Province and Shangshu Province.

Among the princes, the second prince follows the prince and is also a faction of the prince.

The Imperial Historical Observatory, the Ministry of War, and many famous senior generals and military attaches supported the Three Princes, who controlled half of the troops in Great Xia, and the other half were in the hands of the crown prince.

The fourth, fifth, and sixth princes also supported the third prince.

The young and middle-aged civil officials of the New Reform Party supported the Seven Princesses and controlled the Criminal Department, the Ministry of Industry, and most state-level units.

The three camps, in terms of comprehensive strength, are undoubtedly the most princes, followed by the three princes, and finally the princess.

In any case, the situation is going towards the internal strife expected by the Xingzhu Sect, Xia Guifan disappeared in the crowd, sneaking, inquiring and even eavesdropping on the news, knowing some things, the moment the prince ascended the throne, because he was forcibly called the emperor, the world's luck was divided into three shares, and he could not be called the real emperor, so there was very little imperial qi generated, and all of them were taken away by the Xingzhu Sect with secret methods, although it was small, it was enough for the Xingzhu Sect.

The jade seal is in the prince's place, lacking the emperor's energy, refining is slow, and he can't exert his power, the prince is very anxious, and he spills his anger on all the ministers.

After that, Xingzhu Sect backstabbed the crown prince and secretly supported the three princes, resulting in a three-legged tripod, which Xia Guifan secretly infiltrated Zhou Xingyuan's room in the Wugong Marquis Mansion and heard him talk to Xingzhu Sect.

In this way, on the surface, the prince's side has the biggest advantage, but in fact, it is the third prince.

Xia Guifan was also secretly investigating the character and ability of the three princes and the seventh princess, and found that the political methods of the three princes could but were too cruel, unscrupulous to the enemy, and dared to use any indiscriminate means, which made many old ministers around the prince die mysteriously, disappear, and suddenly return to their hometowns.

And the three princes are too harsh on their own people, like a black-hearted capitalist, squeezing them to work, and those who can't stand it regret supporting the wrong person, but no one dares to resist under the oppression of the Xingzhu Sect, and even has been brainwashed, of course, the leaders are all beneficiaries, such as the Imperial Historian, the Secretary of the Military Department, the Squire of the Military Department, and the military attache generals, and those low-level officials and soldiers are suffering.

The Seventh Princess is a talented and virtuous person, with a strategy in her belly, and treats her subordinates with grace and power, but she is never merciful, and her behavior is a real king in troubled times, and she has won the hearts of the people.

……

"Report! Princess, there is a man and a woman who ask to see her, and they hold the pass token and the identity card of the secret agent given by the emperor. ”

The seventh princess has a flying bun on her head, wearing a long dress, her red goose egg face is a pair of crystal bright eyes, black green silk, she has a flat chest without any undulation, and she looks like an ice clear jade.

"Let them in." The Seventh Princess sat on the only throne in the main hall and said, a hint of curiosity flashed in her eyes.

After a while, Xia Guifan and Huo Lexuan entered the main hall and bowed their hands: "I've seen the princess!" ”

He said "seen", not seen, and did not bow or bow, and the two men standing beside the princess suddenly looked displeased and shouted, "Bold! I didn't salute when I saw the princess! ”

"We are disciples of the Xuanqing Sect, and we have no intention of following secular etiquette and practicing that inferior courtesy." Xia Guifan opened his mouth, and then added: "What's more, the two of us were entrusted by the original Xia Emperor to investigate the affairs of the demon clan in the palace. ”

"This palace knows, my father is dead, and the task assigned to the two can be abandoned, what else do the two young heroes have to check the Huajin Palace of this palace."

Xia Guifan looked left and right, and the seventh princess understood: "Both of them are confidants of this palace, so there is no need to worry, just speak." ”

"It's not to investigate, the matter of the demon clan is over, but we have discovered a major secret that involves the death of your father." After speaking, Xia Guifan observed the "Taiping" princess and paid attention to her words and deeds.

A sad look flashed in the eyes of the seventh princess, and then she said: "Oh, let's hear it, if you can find the enemy who killed your father, this palace will kill the enemy with her own hands and avenge her father!" The calm tone could not hide the excitement.

A hint of appreciation flashed in Xia Guifan's eyes: "The prince was involved in this matter, and it also played a very key role. ”

The seventh princess was not surprised: "Big brother? I knew it was going to be him! The eldest brother has been greedy for power for a long time, but he didn't expect to seize the throne in such a hurry. ”

Xia Guifan shook his head and said, "It's not as simple as being greedy for power. ”

"Oh, let's talk about it, Hongu listen."

So Xia Guifan told the Seventh Princess about a series of events, such as the Fox Demon, Xingzhu Sect, the Prince, and Zhou Xingyuan, of course, some details of the battle were not told truthfully.

The more the seventh princess listened, the more angry she became, but she had nowhere to vent, and it took a long time to regain her composure: "What are you telling this palace so much for?" ”

"Emperor Xia is dead, and the results of the investigation are nowhere to be reported, saying that the task with the princess has been successfully completed, and it also satisfies my unhappy mood." Xia Guifan said, and then his eyes flashed brightly: "There is one more thing, we will also stay to help the princess become a generation of empresses!" ”

The Seventh Princess asked, "You guys?" Xuanqing Sect is only the two of you to help me? ”

"Princess, you also know that since the Xuanqing Sect was attacked by the Demon Gate, its vitality has not fully recovered. It's just us at the moment, but that's enough for us. Xia Guifan always has a sense of self-confidence, and the people around him can't help but be infected by his self-confidence, feeling that as long as he is there, all troublesome things will be solved.
