Emperor Wu's heart sank.

Xia Mochou's words naturally meant something.

It refers to the hesitation in my heart!
If the dark horse chooses the donkey, it can accept whatever the donkey does!
Therefore, all it feels is happiness.

I have never been able to make up my mind about the choice in my heart, which has caused me to often lie awake at night these days.

He turned around and sat at the tea table again, and knocked on the table: "Pour tea!"

"Yes!"

Xia Mochou also sat down, poured two cups of tea, and respectfully handed one cup to Emperor Wu.

Emperor Wu took it and looked at Xia Mochou, "Tell me something that hurts your heart! If I depose the prince now...who do you think can take charge of Wu?"

Xia Mochou was so frightened by Emperor Wu's words that she knelt on the ground with a thud:
"emperor……!"

"stand up!"

"No, Your Majesty...!"

Emperor Wu slapped his hand on the table and glared angrily: "You old guy, are you still pretending to me at this time?"

"Get up, if you don't tell me, I will punish you for bullying the emperor!"

Xia Mochou swallowed and stood up tremblingly.

"sit down!"

Xia Mochou quickly sat down again.

"Say!"

"...Your Majesty, please dare to say a few words."

Only then did Wu Emperor blow the tea with satisfaction, "Go on, no matter what you said, I will pardon you!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Xia Mochou thought for a moment and then said:
"Your Majesty, it has been... more than ten years since the Crown Prince entered the East Palace, right?"

"I dare to ask the emperor why he wants to depose the East Palace."

Emperor Wu took a sip of tea and looked out the window again.

After pondering for a long time, he whispered with a gloomy face: "The reason... I want to depose the East Palace, so I can naturally weave an impeccable reason."

When Xia Mochou heard this, she was shocked.

What Emperor Wu was talking about was weaving an impeccable reason... From this point of view, in Emperor Wu's heart, he did have the intention to depose the East Palace, and it was very possible that he had even asked the Chief of Staff to collect or organize a reason for a major crime in the East Palace.

He also picked up the tea cup and looked up at Emperor Wu, wondering what kind of reason he would make up?

"In that case, I think it's very simple."

"Since the Emperor has said that he is already old, then the inheritance of the throne... I'm afraid, I'm afraid it will have to be faster."

"I dare to ask the Emperor, who does the Emperor choose in his heart?"

Emperor Wu put down the tea cup, withdrew his gaze, looked at Xia Mochou, and asked:
"In addition to the prince, I have three sons. Can you tell me who among these three sons has the ability, talent, and virtue to inherit the throne?"

This issue is the most sensitive issue.

Based on Xia Mochou's understanding of Emperor Wu, the old emperor obviously already had a choice in his mind.

But he asked this question at this moment...

Xia Mochou quickly put down the teacup and cupped her hands and said, "Your Majesty, I think that the second prince, Prince An, Wu Huan, and the fourth prince, Prince Yu, Wu Chang, are both capable of inheriting the throne!"

There was a joking look in Emperor Wu's eyes, "Is the eldest prince so unbearable in your heart?"

"This... after all, the old minister's daughter is Princess Ping. Besides, in the eyes of all the ministers, Prince Ping... he, he is just a warrior."

"Besides, Xue Zhaoyi is also from Nanchu after all."

Wu Di smiled meaningfully, raised his finger and pointed at Xia Mochou: "You old guy, it's okay to be smooth all your life. But now I need you to give me some advice, and you should give me some advice..." He waved his hand, "That's all, I also know that it's not easy for you to say this, so I will tell you about my three sons myself. Please listen."

Xia Mochou grinned and bowed his hands: "Old minister, I am all ears!"

Emperor Wu stood up slowly, came to the window, and looked at the red glow on the horizon in the distance.

He looked solemn, took three deep breaths, and said:
"Second Prince Wu Huan... This child is knowledgeable and had the reputation of Prince Wen when he was still in Kyoto."

"In terms of literary attainments, the other two princes are not as good as him."

"In terms of the ability to govern the country..."

Emperor Wu stroked his short beard and said, "I may have some insights, but, I am too calculating."

"As the emperor of a country, he is a little less domineering."

"Lao Si... I like Lao Si very much. I like his straightforwardness and also his frankness."

"But in the heart of the fourth child, he prefers Jianghu, otherwise he would not have built a Xuanwu Hall when he was still in Kyoto."

"He is very courageous, but... he is brave and foolhardy. When it comes to major national affairs, he does not have the ability to control the ministers, nor does he have a foresight."

"Of course, it won't be a big problem if there are wise ministers to assist, but the fourth child... is too young and too headstrong."

"He is not very tolerant in his heart. This is a taboo for a king."

"I am very worried that the old ministers in the court will not end up with a good death."

Emperor Wu turned around and looked at Xia Mochou.

"In my heart, I have always been indebted to the boss."

"It's because his mother is from Nanchu, and he... Although he hasn't been bullied too much in the palace since he was a child, his life is not very satisfactory."

"I, in fact, I have always seen it."

"What makes me happy is that the boss didn't feel any resentment because of this. He studied military books diligently and studied martial arts diligently with Chu Tianji..."

"I know that his efforts are for his mother, and I also know that there are many things hidden in his heart."

Under Xia Mochou's extremely nervous gaze, Emperor Wu walked back to the tea table and sat down.

"Yu Wenfeng has officially ascended the throne as emperor, and the Great Wilderness Kingdom has been officially established."

"The secret report I received is that the origins of the Great Wilderness Country and Yu Wenfeng are not simple, and they are vaguely related to the descendants of Great Li."

"Wen Boyu, this bastard, I will scold him, but I still admire this bastard's vision and wisdom very much."

"In the coming days, I'm afraid Yu Wenfeng will no longer be isolated in a corner. He may use the power of founding a country and proclaiming himself emperor to launch a war."

"Ning Guo is the first to bear the brunt. Normally, I should sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, but... I don't want to do that."

Xia Mochou asked at this time: "Your Majesty, isn't this more beneficial to our country of Wu?"

"No, barbarians are savages after all."

"Non-my family, its heart must be different!"

"If Ning State is really destroyed by Yu Wenfeng... when the iron hooves of those barbarians trample Ning State, neither Wu nor Yue will be able to live in peace."

"If there are major issues between Wu, Ning, and Yue, we can sit down and talk about it, but how do we talk about it with those barbarians?"

"So the Ning Kingdom cannot be destroyed. Therefore, the future king of the Wu Kingdom must have farsightedness and foresight..."

Before Emperor Wu finished speaking, there were sudden sounds of rapid footsteps coming from the Xijian Tower.

The two of them raised their eyes and looked in front of the door, and saw Wu Ximiao, the owner of Xijian Building, walking in hurriedly.

Emperor Wu said nothing more.

The stone in Xia Mochou's heart has fallen to the ground.

Wu Ximiao came to Emperor Wu and bowed:
"Your Majesty, Li Chenan... is here!" (End of this chapter)
