When the emperor said this, it also made the four princes on the side, Han Lin'er, and Han Yuan and others breathe a sigh of relief, and the three of them looked at each other and smiled.

I'm afraid that Li Xiao won't be able to lose this third question.

If he loses, he will naturally dissolve the marriage according to the previous gambling contract, and at the same time, Han Won and the ministers of the DPRK and China will challenge Li Xiao.

If he wins, that is to push the benefits outward, not to mention anything else, I am afraid that the emperor will not be able to spare Li Xiao, so he can naturally unite his ministers to impeach Li Xiao on the charge of disrespecting the emperor's order, and depose him as the crown prince while the emperor is angry.

"Father rest assured, sons and daughters have their own plans."

Li Xiao replied respectfully, others don't know, he knows the sinister intentions of this Southern Chu champion.

"Brother Huang has to be careful about this question, but don't disobey the will of your father." The fourth prince said with a smile.

"Yes, this is a matter related to the entire people of Daliang, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince must not ignore the overall situation for his own selfish interests."

Han Yuan also said in a weird manner on the side, he is the head of the household, and he naturally understands that the treasury is tight now, and the emperor is naturally unwilling to let go of such a big benefit.

In their opinion, under the pressure of the emperor and the overall situation, Li Xiao will definitely compromise.

At this time, Mr. Zhou, who was sitting on the left side of the emperor and had not spoken, frowned, as if he sensed that something was wrong.

"This doesn't bother the fourth brother and Han Shangshu to worry about, but don't forget to gamble."

Hearing Li Xiao say this, the four princes and Han Shangshu all let out a cold snort of disdain, no matter whether Li Xiao wins or loses this time, they all have a way to clean up Li Xiao, so they are naturally not afraid.

"Listen, everybody."

Li Xiao paced back and forth while chanting a poem.

"Thousands of miles of warblers cry green and red, and the water village mountain Guo wine flag wind.

There are 480 temples in Nanchu, how many buildings are in the smoke and rain. ”

Unexpectedly, Li Xiao didn't care about the emperor's intentions at all, and solved the third question as soon as he opened his mouth.

The crowd was in an uproar.

"What does this mean, Your Highness the Prince?"

"Alas, the benefits of sending it to the door are gone, and I have to be exempted from paying tribute for two years."

"I heard that this poetry meeting is related to the marriage of the prince and the daughter of Han Shangshu's family, as well as the position of this prince."

"For the sake of his own selfish interests, he even disregarded the overall situation, how many problems can Nanchu solve with this condition of my Liang."

"It's really unfortunate for Daliang to have such a prince."

The discussion continued, and the spearhead was directed at Li Xiao.

However, it can be seen that the people who take the lead in the discussion are the disciples of the four princes, or those who are good friends with the Han family.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is really a good writer."

Shen Cong applauded and admired, he didn't expect Li Xiao to really make this poem.

"It's just a pity, we Nanchu originally wanted to take this opportunity to seek some benefits for the people of Daliang, but I didn't expect His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to not appreciate it, or not."

"However, I would like to thank His Royal Highness the Crown Prince here first, and I will exempt us from the tribute of Nanchu for three years."

Shen Cong said, with a very regretful expression.

But the hint of disappointment in Shen Cong's eyes did not escape Li Xiao's eyes.

"Shen Zhuangyuan is polite, as the suzerain, my Daliang will naturally not take advantage of the vassal country."

Li Xiao waved his hand generously, looking like a loser.

Then he turned to look at the four princes.

"Fourth brother, as the host of this poetry meeting, I don't know if this palace is considered to be the first place?"

"Of course it is, my brother congratulates His Royal Highness the Prince."

The fourth prince said hello to Li Xiao, but his eyes looked at the emperor next to him intentionally or unintentionally.

At this time, the emperor's face was gloomy, and his eyes looking at Li Xiao were also full of anger.

The four princes naturally saw that the emperor was on the verge of exploding with anger at this time, but he was only concerned that there were people from other countries here, so he didn't get angry.

"The poetry meeting has ended, Lord Li should not take Prince Murong and Shen Zhuangyuan to the post house to rest." The four princes instructed the Honglu Temple Qing who was waiting on the side.

After the people from Beirong and Nanchu left, the emperor slapped the table in front of him violently, and with a snap, everyone present was frightened.

"Li Xiao, you are inevitably too arrogant, the benefits sent by Nanchu are gone, how can I explain to the people of Daliang."

Before Li Xiao could explain, a group of talented people stood up together.

"Your Majesty, students and others petition Your Majesty on behalf of the people of Daliang."

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince today is a gentleman, ignorant of the general situation, disregarding the emperor's orders, for his own selfish interests, ignoring the overall situation, immoral and incompetent, and vain in the position of the prince."

"I hope that Your Majesty will see clearly, for the century-old foundation of Daliang, for the well-being of the people, and choose another merit to be the prince."

A group of students and scholars jointly petitioned, and the emperor had to pay attention to it.

"The ministers also feel that the prince is in vain in this position, I hope that Your Majesty will choose another meritocracy, if the prince is allowed to go on like this, he will definitely mislead the country and the people, I hope Your Majesty will think twice and choose another meritocracy."

Many ministers also knelt on the ground, each looking righteous and awe-inspiring, serving the country and the people.

"Your Majesty, a few days ago, the soldiers of Yanjing rang again, the imperial court has been in arrears for more than two months, if there is no food, Yanjing may have a change."

Han Yuan also stood up, saying that this matter seemed to have nothing to do with Li Xiao, but it could make the emperor implicate Li Xiao with his anger at the lack of silver.

Han Won has been in charge of the household department for many years, and he knows that the treasury is already empty, and the emperor will definitely be furious when he sees that the silver delivered to him is gone.

This series of petitions, the lack of sound at the border, made the emperor feel very bad, and remembered that the silver that was about to arrive just now was released by Li Xiao again, and now the emperor is upset when he sees what Li Xiao thinks.

At this time, the four princes and Han Lin'er looked at Li Xiao with a gloating expression in their eyes.

What if you win the poetry club? It's not that you can't escape the end of being abolished.

As long as you are abolished as the crown prince, then you are not even as good as a dog, and you can only be slaughtered.

"Father, the will of the people cannot be violated, the prince is too conceited, he doesn't take his father's words seriously, and ignores the people of the world, if it goes on like this, I am in danger!"

Looking at the emperor's expression, the fourth prince knew that the time had come, and he didn't hide it in the slightest, and couldn't wait to come up and add the last fire.

Sure enough, this voice of opposition to the prince from top to bottom, and Li Xiao's actions just now made the emperor also have the intention of abolishing him.

"Zhao Hai."

The Emperor greeted sharply.

"The minions are here."

An old eunuch hurriedly stepped forward.

"Prepare pen and ink, draft purpose."

As soon as these words came out, the faces of the four princes and the Han family's father and daughter showed a smile of successful conspiracy.

"The crown prince Li Xiao, as the crown prince, is stubborn, does not respect the king's order, has no king and no father, and the people are very resentful.
