Chapter 476 The confrontation between Xia Tian and the prince (Happy New Year everyone!)
At this time.
Eunuch Wei took the bet from Xia Xia and handed it over to Emperor Xia for viewing!
All along, the bet that Emperor Xia had known was that he entered a gambling house in the summer and dropped 60,000 taels of gold so that the store in Huangzhou could open smoothly.
He didn't know about the shocking bet that the prince and Xia Tian later signed.
Therefore, when Emperor Xia looked at the content of the bet, his face gradually darkened, as if a layer of ice had condensed, causing the temperature in the worship hall to plummet.
At this time, the air in the palace was extremely depressing!
Cold sweat broke out on the prince's forehead, his face was frightened, and he was really uneasy in his heart!
finally.
Emperor Xia closed his eyes after reading it, as if he was brewing some emotion, and his voice was without any warmth: "Prince, do you know whose property belongs to the East Palace?"
"Plop..."
The prince knelt down straight, and the sound of his knees hitting the ground was clearly audible: "I know that he belongs to the East Palace."
"Why......"
Emperor Xia's sigh was meaningful: "So you still know!"
"The property of the East Palace is prepared for the prince, so that the prince of Daxia can have long-term benefits, and let the prince of Daxia know where the money comes from?"
"Then, let the prince take the money and use it. Do you know how the money is used?"
"Let the prince know the power of money!"
"Let the prince know how to control money?"
"If you are in charge of an empire in the future, you will know how to create wealth and use wealth!"
Emperor Xia raised his eyelids: "So, no matter how the prince of Daxia changes, the property of the East Palace will never change!"
"Didn't that old guy Cao Wei tell you when you entered the East Palace?"
The prince prostrated himself in front of Emperor Xia. His whole body was soaked with cold sweat and he was trembling like a frightened little lamb.
Seeing such a scene, Emperor Xia couldn't help but think of the deposed prince!
I also think of the waste prince’s urine smell!
They are all confused and cowardly!
As the saying goes: A tiger's father has no dogs, a dragon begets a dragon, a phoenix begets a phoenix, and a mouse's son can dig holes.
He started in the late Xia and Zhou dynasties and became the overlord of one side by virtue of his military exploits in Qin. Then he entered the imperial palace and transformed Qin into Daxia by relying on his strategy and martial arts, becoming the true dragon emperor of the Daxia empire.
But why are the princes he established so useless?
A hint of disgust flashed deep in Emperor Xia's eyes, and he solemnly said: "Donggong's property cannot be freely given away or bought and sold without my permission. Did that old guy Cao Wei say that?"
"explain!"
Emperor Xia didn't yell, but he kept the prince silent and stammered: "I said... I said it!"
"Then you still dare to use it privately to have a gambling fight with Xiaojiu?"
The prince was so frightened that he suddenly raised his head: "Father, I am wrong!"
"I don't dare to do it anymore!"
"Father, please forgive me!"
Emperor Xia looked at the cold sweat, tears, and snot on the prince's face, frowned, and felt even more disgusted: "The East Palace property is the foundation of the prince, and it is absolutely impossible for it to fall into the hands of others!"
"You dare to use the property of the East Palace to bet today. If you sit on the throne, you dare to use the Great Xia Empire as a bet!"
"You disappoint me so much!"
"How do you think I should punish you?"
Seeing that something was not going well, the prince panicked and hugged Emperor Xia's calf as if holding a life-saving straw: "Father, I know I was wrong!"
"My son will change, please give me another chance!"
Emperor Xia's strength spurted out from his feet, and he shook the prince's hand away from his thigh, and said coldly: "Letting you become the prince of the East Palace is the great opportunity I give you!"
"But after you entered the East Palace, you not only did not study hard to govern the country, but only cared about the personal affairs of your children, which made me extremely disappointed!"
Seeing that the situation was not going well, the prince made up his mind, jumped up and pointed at Xia Tian and shouted: "Father, it was the ninth brother who designed to frame me!"
"It was he who proposed a bet with me."
"He wants to harm my son!"
"The reason why he refused his father's proposal to be the regent was actually because he wanted to take over the East Palace. Please be aware of this!"
Xia Tian raised his eyelids and categorically retorted: "My father is aware that before my son entered the imperial capital, the prince had already arranged a bet to prevent my son's shop in Huangzhou from opening!"
"He wants to use this gambling battle to make my son bankrupt, ruin his reputation, and make him a laughing stock in the world."
At this point, Xia Tian officially "takes eye medicine": "Father, have you ever thought that if I lose this bet, I will not only lose Huangzhou's only 60,000 taels of gold, but also lose nearly one million of Huangzhou's gold."
The untouchables and refugees no longer have gold and silver to buy food. If there is no food, turmoil will break out in the barren state and shake the foundation of my Great Xia Empire!"
"So, for the prince to shake the foundation of the empire for personal grudges, I think it is really inappropriate!"
Having said this, Xia Tian said grandly: "This bet is void!"
"I don't want the property of the East Palace!"
Emperor Xia's face was full of relief: "Xiaojiu is sensible, I am very pleased!"
At this moment, Xia Tian said seriously: "Father, I have the courage to intercede for His Highness the Crown Prince!"
Suddenly.
The worship hall is silent!
The prince was stunned!
Will Death Laojiu intercede for him?
impossible!
This is absolutely impossible!
I must have been hallucinating just now!
Emperor Xia's eyes lit up and he was quite curious: "Xiao Jiu, if I were you, if Xiao Ba treated me like this, I would never plead for him!"
"Why do you plead for him?"
At this time, behind Emperor Xia, his eyes were watching his nose, and his nose was watching his heart. Eunuch Wei, who was in the presence of the old god, also pricked up his ears!
Xia Tian said sternly: "Father, we are born from the same roots, so why are we in such a hurry!"
"Hahaha......"
Emperor Xia laughed happily: "We are born from the same roots, so why rush each other... Xiaojiu wrote well!"
Xia Tian continued: "The prince provoked his son because he suspected that the emperor's sister-in-law was having an affair with his son, which is justifiable!"
Emperor Xia was well aware of this matter.
But he pretended not to know: "Xiaojiu, you and the Crown Princess have never interacted. Why would the Crown Prince suspect you of having an affair with her?"
Xia Tian opened his mouth directly and told the story about the Crown Princess's visit to Huangzhou to comfort the Huangzhou army. He only said what he could say and didn't reveal a single word that couldn't be said.
Emperor Xia then pretended to suddenly realize: "Prince, is this so?"
The prince looked at Xia Tian with a complicated expression: "Yes!"
Having said this, he said apologetically: "Father, for some reason, this matter has spread throughout the imperial capital city, causing the emperor's sister-in-law to have a hard time talking about it. It has caused a storm in the city, and there are all kinds of rumors. It has already damaged our royal family.
face!"
The prince looks weird!
Why didn't he know that the news had already spread all over the city?
Emperor Xia frowned: "Old man, is this true?"
Eunuch Wei took a deep look at Xia Tian and said cooperatively: "Yes, Your Majesty!"
"Because it's a royal matter, people don't dare to talk about it publicly, but in private, they make up stories about the crown princess, which are simply unpalatable!"
Emperor Xia thought for a while and said: "Prince, if this is the case, the daughter of the Zhao family can no longer stay in the East Palace!"
"However, her father is now the Minister of War, and the Zhao family is powerful in Qingzhou, so we cannot give her death!"
"When you go back, talk to Zhao Shangshu and find a decent way to send her back to the Zhao family!"
Suddenly.
The prince now understands Xia Tian's thoughts!
If he could let the Crown Princess go with dignity, Death Laojiu would intercede for him!
Here's the deal!
If he wants to kill the Crown Princess, Deathly Laojiu will add insult to injury!
However, the prince always felt that things were not that simple!
Death Laojiu, a man who is a sage inside and a king outside, treats his enemies as cruelly as the autumn wind sweeps away fallen leaves. I have never heard of him being merciful to his enemies!
