Looking at Liu Changxi's expression, everyone present also knew that his hole cards had basically been emptied, and it was likely that he would really be powerless to return to the sky.

"What should I do, do I rely on the palace guards to continue to work hard? But in that case, even if I win a miserable victory, my reputation will be ruined and I will end up with a reputation for greedy power and disregard for human life and morality, and the palace guards will inevitably be greatly damaged, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to even protect the palace in the future. ”

At present, there are still many alien races eyeing the Imperial City, and doing so is just to postpone the death period a little.

But if you want to surrender and admit defeat, you are really unwilling.

"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, you better end this with dignity. Lan Ci sighed and took the initiative to persuade her, "Her Royal Highness the eldest princess is the legal master of the Tunan Kingdom, and this time it can be regarded as the restoration of the unification. In fact, I have always felt that His Majesty's sudden succession to the throne was strange, and I have been secretly investigating the real cause of the eldest princess's death all these years, and I have already figured out the whole thing. Therefore, when I happened to learn that the eldest princess was still alive in recent years, I had already made up my mind to escort her in secret before I could meet her. ”

"I know that with the character of the eldest princess, what is lost will definitely be returned. ”

"So you took the initiative to throw yourself into her arms?" Liu Changxi said angrily, at this time he was extremely glad that his father had fallen unconscious. If it weren't for that, with his character, I am afraid that he would be angry to death on the spot.

Although it now seems that dying early and dying later, the result will not be any different.

"Let's end it all, make a decent end, write an end to the rebellion, to the usurpation of the throne twenty years ago. Lan Ci continued to persuade, "The eldest princess still has a lot of things to do, and after pacifying here, there are still many hidden dangers outside the imperial city to be solved, don't continue to sacrifice the national strength of Tunan." ”

"You don't have to persuade him, Lan Ci, I will tell him the truth and make him completely dead. Lingxi suddenly stepped forward, between Lan Ci and Liu Changxi, and said awe-inspiringly, "I didn't finish saying that I still wanted to give him and my stupid imperial brother a little face, and try not to expose the ugliness of Tu Nanguo in front of the hundred officials." Now that these two are the same greedy for power, I'll let him die to understand!"

"Alas. Lan Ci sighed and didn't continue, his eyes seemed to have foreseen what was going to happen next.

Today's excitement was already too much, and just when everyone was puzzled by what shocking secrets the spirit rhino was about to reveal again, a more violent shaking suddenly broke out in the hall. This time, many officials and even the palace guards were a little unsteady on their feet, and they almost fell to the ground.

"It's almost done. Master Wang's voice appeared in Lingxi's ears, at a volume that only she could hear.

"Hmm. ”

The shaking in the main hall did not last long, and soon calm returned. The crown prince Liu Changxi looked coldly at the imperial aunt Lingxi in front of him, constantly thinking about the meaning of her words.

"I've already said that even if I don't see Riich, I can control Tunan's dragon vein, and you don't seem to fully understand the meaning of this sentence. Lingxi finally spoke.

"In fact, I've already taken control. All these years, it was right under Luo Jing's nose. Lingxi continued, "Now, the dragon veins have long since ceased to converge in the center of the palace, but have moved to another place. ”

"Places that only I know. ”

"Emperor Taizu's contract with Ruiqi is not fabricated, and treachery is by no means false, so the dragon vein is also real. The Wang Shi beside Lingxi took over the conversation and said slowly, "The dragon veins were originally supposed to gather in the temple where Ruiqi was sacrificed, nourishing Ruiqi, and then Ruiqi would protect the entire Tunan, but it was privately transferred to the palace by Emperor Taizu, wanting to monopolize the power of the dragon vein. Under this main hall is the secret ancestral hall that can only be visited when the Tunan royal family succeeds to the throne, where the relationship between the dragon vein and the royal family is recorded in detail, and it is also the place where the rivers of thousands of heavens and earths converge. ”

"So, you have done a similar thing now, taking possession of the dragon vein that should have belonged to the Tunan royal family, just for your own benefit?" Liu Changxi seized the loophole and fought back without hesitation.

"You're wrong, it's not the dragon vein of the royal family, but the dragon vein that belongs to the entire Tunan. Wang Shi said calmly, "Do you know why the Tunan Kingdom has been plagued by frequent droughts and floods, rampant epidemics, and natural disasters in the past few years? It is precisely because the emperor of the current dynasty was an impostor who tampered with the edict and established himself as the emperor, and was not the orthodox heir of the Tunan Kingdom, so he did not know the secret of governing the country that only the emperors of previous dynasties knew. ”

"Is it about the dragon vein?" Liu Changxi blurted out, and a bad premonition was already lingering in his heart. A thousand books

"According to the rules, this secret is only qualified to be known by every emperor. When the heir is determined, the secret will be passed on. When my father was alive, he always regarded me as the only heir to the throne, so Liu Dingrui didn't know anything about the whole thing. Lingxi said indifferently, "Emperor Tunan must be able to communicate with the dragon vein, and use Professor Ruiqi's luck technique to transmit the nourishing power of the dragon vein to every corner of Tunan Kingdom, so as to ensure that the entire country is in good weather and prosperous." ”

In other words, a fellow who doesn't even know the art of luck is not qualified to be the ruler of a country! He thought he had taken it all, but that was only the least important part. ”

"Now, do you still think that Liu Dingrui and yourself are the real rulers of Tunan?"

Liu Changxi bit his lip and couldn't refute it for a long time.

What Lingxi said hit him too hard, in today's situation, the eldest princess has actually occupied the advantage of the situation, and if she wants to turn the tables, she must occupy the moral high point. Firmly grasping the fact that he is the current ruler of Tunan, and characterizing the actions of Lingxi and others as a rebellion, so that there is a glimmer of hope for a breakthrough.

But all of this was completely shattered with Lingxi's words.

If everything is really as Lingxi said, the person who controls the dragon vein can really take charge of the country, then whether it is Liu Dingrui or he Liu Changxi, they are only the nominal emperor and the crown prince, if it is really for the luck of the whole country, there must be a real orthodox heir, the actual controller of the dragon vein, Lingxi, to serve as the emperor, is the real morality.

"What should I do, is there any chance to break the situation?" Liu Changxi racked his brains, but he couldn't find the glimmer of light in the darkness.

Thinking about it this way, since his father succeeded to the throne, the whole Tunan has indeed been in turmoil. At the beginning of the succession, it was involved in the war of aggression of many countries, and Qingyan united with the northern tribes to kill Luojing for a time before finally withdrawing troops. In the following years, the country has also been in the struggle against the Nanban. Although the war never reached Tunan itself under the suppression of the strong combat power of the Southeast Army, the perennial conquest also made the treasury empty and the finances tightened. In addition, in recent years, there have been many droughts and waterlogs that are rare in a century, and there is indeed enough evidence to support the claim that the dragon veins are not smooth.

Do you want to hand over power happily for the sake of the whole country?

To be honest, Liu Changxi's heart was hesitant.

Since he was a child, Liu Changxi has always been strict with himself as the king of a country. Pay attention to the people's livelihood, and devote themselves to repairing the relationship between the court, the people, and the clan. After becoming the crown prince, he was busy all day and night for the society of the country, and he never rested for a moment.

It took Liu Changxi three years to reduce farmers' taxes, build new canals and waterways, etc., to restore the livelihood of Tunan. In order to be able to show his national strength at the clan festival once every 60 years, he also participated in the relevant arrangements of the clan festival throughout the whole process, which can be described as hard work.

It has always been Liu Changxi's ambition to restore the prosperity of the empress period and make Tu Nan the most powerful country in Dongzhou again.

But now the cruel truth is in front of him, if he wants to make Tunan truly strong, he must put the country in the hands of its original master, and only by doing so can he truly work for the well-being of the people of Tunan.

But if he does this, no matter how strong Tu Nan is in the future, he is destined to have nothing to do with him.

Liu Changxi is very smart, he knows very well that if the eldest princess Lingxi takes the throne, he will definitely not let go of himself and Liu Dingrui, the father and son. Liu Dingrui committed a big crime, it must be a dead end, even if the eldest princess is kind enough to exempt herself from the death penalty, she will definitely drive people like herself away from the center of power in the future. After all, no one wants to have a young wolf with a vengeance against their father by their side, waiting for an opportunity to bite themselves to death.

Can he hand over the entire country to the person in front of him like this? Liu Changxi's heart was very entangled. If you want to say that the eldest princess's ability and talent should be undoubted, otherwise she would not have chosen to make trouble today, and laid out a big picture that involved everyone. If it weren't for that, even if the eldest princess mastered the power of the dragon vein, she would never have the opportunity to announce it directly in front of the hundred officials like today. Don't talk about yourself, even Liu Dingrui will definitely prevent this from happening.

It is more likely that the eldest princess will be regained control and imprisoned, and she will be forced to hand over the control method of the power of the dragon vein. After all, the dragon vein is dead, and the man is alive. Since the method can be passed on, there is no such thing as a true chosen one.

Forbearance, decisiveness, courage, courage, choosing to show the sword at the weakest moment for herself and her father, such a person obviously has the control not to lose to herself, and is definitely qualified to become the king of a country, not to mention, she also controls the luck of the entire Tunan.

The question is, can you really let go?
