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 knew was that he entered a gambling house in the summer and dropped 60,000 taels of gold to buy the Huangzhou store to 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 hall was extremely depressing!
Cold sweat broke out on the prince's forehead, he looked terrified, and he was really uneasy!
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 is from the East Palace."
"Why......"
Emperor Xia's sigh was meaningful: "So you still know!"
"The property of the East Palace is prepared for the Crown Prince, so that the Crown Prince of Daxia can have long-term benefits, and let the Crown 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 Crown Prince of Xia 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 remembered the waste prince’s urine smell!
They are all confused and cowardly!
As the saying goes: A tiger father has no dog sons, a dragon begets a dragon, a phoenix begets a phoenix, and a mouse's son can dig holes.
He started in the late Xia Zhou Dynasty and became the overlord of one side by relying on Qin's military exploits. Then he entered the imperial palace and transformed Qin into Da Xia by relying on his strategy and martial arts, becoming the true dragon emperor of the Da Xia empire.
But why are the princes he established so useless?
A trace of disgust flashed deep in Emperor Xia's eyes, and he solemnly said: "Donggong's property cannot be 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 silenced the prince and stammered: "I said... I said it!"
"Then you still dare to use it privately to gamble 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?"
When the prince saw that something was not going well, he was so frightened that he 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, shaking the prince's hand that was holding his thigh away, 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. I am extremely disappointed!"
Seeing that the situation was not good, the prince made up his mind, jumped up and pointed at Xia Tian and shouted: "Father, it was the Ninth Prince who designed to frame me!"
"He was the one who proposed a bet with me."
"He wants to harm my son!"
"The reason why he rejected Emperor Father's proposal to make him the regent is 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 about it. If Erchen loses this bet, he 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 filled with relief: "Xiaojiu is sensible, I am very pleased!"
At this moment, Xia Tian said seriously: "Father, I dare to plead 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 are you begging for him?"
At this time, behind Emperor Xia, his eyes were watching his nose, his nose was watching his heart, and 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, why are we in such a hurry to get along with each other!"
"Hahaha......"
Emperor Xia laughed happily: "We are born from the same roots, why are we so anxious...Xiao Jiu wrote well!"
Xia Tian continued: "The prince provoked my son because he suspected that the emperor's sister-in-law was having an affair with my son, which is understandable!"
Emperor Xia knew this matter well.
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 and told the story about the Crown Princess's visit to Huangzhou to comfort the Huangzhou army. He only said what could be said and did not reveal a single word that could not 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, making the emperor's sister-in-law speechless. 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's expression is strange!
Why didn't he know that the news had spread all over the city?
Emperor Xia frowned: "Old guy, 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 openly about it, but in private, they are arranging stories about the Crown Princess and they are simply unpalatable!"
Emperor Xia thought for a while and said: "Prince, if this is the case, the Zhao family's daughter 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 about sending her back to the Zhao family in a decent way!"
Suddenly.
The prince now understands Xia Tian's thoughts!
If he could let the Crown Princess go decently, Death Lao Jiu 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 Lao Jiu, 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!
Will he be an exception?
