Facing the doubts of the eldest prince, Lin Xi did not waver in his heart.

This kind of scene... How so?

It is no longer possible to bring any mental stimulation to Lin Xi.

Having said that, Lin Xi has done enough to save face.

On the surface, he showed an angry expression, and then said: "Your Highness seems to have misunderstood me, I didn't want to advance and retreat with Your Highness, but in fact, it is because Your Highness, you have achieved a great momentum, and you just need to wait for the opportunity." And now... But it's not. ”

Before the eldest prince could speak, Xiahou Jie couldn't help it, jumped out, pointed at Lin Xi and said, "Old Five... Xiahou Zun, you are deliberately alarmist! Who doesn't know that His Royal Highness is now the most powerful prince, and more than half of the six provinces in Linhai have been held by the eldest prince. This is the case... Your Highness, who else will there be?"

Lin Xi sneered: "Sure enough, it's a barbarian, but it's brainless." ”

This sentence directly angered Xia Houjie, and he rolled up his sleeves and was about to make a move on Lin Xi.

The bloodline gave Xiahou Jie a strong physique, if he was a general, he could indeed have the courage of ten enemies, but that's all.

Lin Xi's words made him expose his upper limit.

The obvious disappointment in the eyes of the eldest prince was already very obvious.

And that's exactly what Lin Xi is all about.

His role, in the current view, temporarily overlaps with Xiahoujie.

Since this is the case, then step on Xiahou Jie first.

Ignoring Xiahou Jie's fangs and claws, Lin Xi clenched his fists and said quickly to the eldest prince: "The land of Binhai, Qindong, and Yangnan provinces are all important towns near the sea in my Xia country. The seaside is also more important than ever. However... Since His Highness controls these three provinces, he dares to ask the important officials of the three provinces, but is it really under the control of His Highness?"

"Just talk about my Xiahou Mansion... My father, Xiahou Mingde, has six sons... However, only my eldest brother and I are of pure blood. Of course... Now, due to some people, there are only three sons left, and even so... My father, Xiahou Mingde, did not return from overseas, but now he has gone deeper into the land of the Heavenly Seal and established the Great Eastern Navy and Company, which is very famous... Suppression of the Seven Seas. ”

"General Wu of Qindong, Chief Officer of Qin of Yangnan... It's also not in the territory of Xia Kingdom, do they not want to come back, or... Can't come back?"

Lin Xi's inquiry made the eldest prince's face change slightly.

Obviously, he didn't think about related matters at all.

Perhaps, he also has staff around him who has conducted a series of analyses for him.

"Let's talk about the military politics of the court... How sure is Your Highness that those who take refuge in you really think of you and have no hesitation... Or is it just a trend?"

"Your Highness, as long as the eight kings with different surnames don't move, you have a great deal of certainty... Those are all false. Only Jane is in the emperor's heart... That's the truth. Lin Xi's words directly hit the essence.

Since the beginning of the Xia Kingdom, the eight kings with different surnames have always been not allowed to marry the royal family, nor are they allowed to marry each other, maintaining their mutual restraint and supervision, but they defend the royal family's powers. Politically, the eight kings with different surnames have very little intervention, but in terms of military power, the power they hold is staggering.

Lin Xi also came into contact with Luo Cheng and gradually understood this.

Because of the strange skills, the descendants of the eight kings with different surnames, as long as they are not too unsuccessful, can become relatively talented.

And the style of the eight kings with different surnames, who are not really related to each other, combined, and keep a relative distance from the royal family, makes them seem to have independent eight different family collectives from within the country.

If they can't unite, they can't pose a threat to royalty.

And their own existence guaranteed the rights of the emperor.

It's a balance.

I have to say that the founding emperor of the Xia Kingdom saw the emperor's authority and real authority very thoroughly.

This is something that many so-called emperors do not have.

In reality, there will be many emperors, and even naïve to think that it is really the divine right of kings.

As long as you sit in that position, you can do whatever you want to command the world.

The simplicity of the ideas is amazing.

As Lin Xi's words landed, the eldest prince's face changed completely.

The so-called authorities are obsessed.

He is in the game, seeing that his momentum is getting stronger and stronger, and the power he has is getting bigger and bigger, it is inevitable that he is a little fluttering.

There is already a sense of self-sacrifice.

However, listening to Lin Xi's explanation again, he was suddenly poured a basin of cold water, and the whole person calmed down.

Thinking about it again, it suddenly felt like a thorn in the back, and I couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

The eight kings with different surnames have always been in the hands of the current emperor, and most of the military and political power is also indirectly or directly controlled by the emperor.

The so-called grasp of the money bags of the three coasts is also temporary, who is likely to be taken away.

Take a look again... Where is this the general trend has been achieved, and it is clearly as dangerous as an egg.

The external momentum was huge, and he couldn't help but stand on the opposite side of the emperor.

Especially... The Great Prince is now the leader of the 'Reformists', and the Emperor's recent style of doing things has become increasingly conservative, gradually unable to keep up with the needs and greed of the rising capitalists and nobles.

I thought that as a last resort, I could force the palace to seize the throne.

That's why the eldest prince is full of confidence.

came to see Lin Xi, just for the breath that was accumulated in his heart.

It was not so much to wait for Lin Xi's defection, but to humiliate Lin Xi in disguise, in order to repay Lin Xi for ignoring the solicitation back then.

"What should I do... Please teach me, sir!" the eldest prince couldn't help but change his tone.

The so-called ignorant are fearless.

There are some things that Xia Houjie doesn't understand.

So even if Lin Xi said so much, he still looked down on Lin Xi, watching Lin Xi blow a few times, waiting to swing his fist to give Lin Xi a good look.

However, the Great Prince, it is different.

He knew more, and when he combined what Lin Xi said with some of the things he knew, he just felt that it was creepy.

"This matter is not difficult to say. ”

"It's nothing more than two choices, the first option is decentralization... Give up everything you will get and be a good son and a good brother. As for whether you can get a big position... It depends on what His Majesty thinks, and it all depends on His Majesty's arbitrary decision. Lin Xi said with a smile.

The words have not yet fully landed, in fact, it is already understood that the eldest prince would never choose this.

He is not a person who is willing to surrender his fate to others.

Even if that person is his father, he is the emperor of this country.

Under Lin Xi's eyes peeping at fate, the fate of the eldest prince is to go to the guillotine.

However, this is only fate, not the future.

This does not mean that in the future, the eldest prince will not be able to ascend to the throne and become the emperor of the Xia Kingdom.

The two are not in conflict.
