Empress Jinghua: The eunuch is nine thousand years old

Chapter 238
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the court was in an uproar.

How Xia Qin would say such a thing, none of them could have imagined.

You must know that in this palace, the princes are fighting and fighting, just to drive Xia Qin from the position of prince, and then replace him himself, and wait for Ming Shengdi to pass on to him in a hundred years.

In order to keep his position as prince, Xia Qin fought with others a lot, so why is he willing to give up his position now?

Even Ming Shengdi was shocked by Xia Qin's reversal attitude. He raised his eyebrows at Xia Qin, and repeated his confirmation: "Are you serious?"

Xia Tian obviously paused, but immediately returned to his normal expression.

"Everything my son said is true, let the emperor make the decision."

However, before Ming Shengdi had time to speak, the ministers who expressed ambiguity straightened their backs and spoke bluntly.

"Your Majesty, since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also feels that he is not safe enough to handle things, then it is most appropriate to replace him and choose another person who is safe to act as the Crown Prince!"

Huang Shangshu said together, with a hoarse old voice implying excitement, "According to what I see, in the royal family of Dalai, in terms of acting safely, it must be His Highness the Emperor's eldest grandson. Although His Royal Highness the emperor's eldest grandson is young He is young, but he is seasoned, and he is also a very virtuous emperor's grandson in the hearts of the common people."

"The common people often talk about him being an enlightened ancestor. It can be seen that His Royal Highness, the eldest grandson, is always first-class in his dealings with others. Otherwise, how could the common people think so highly of him!"

Xia Qixuan never expected that Huang Shangshu, who used to be a member of the prince's faction, would propose him to replace Xia Qin as the prince.

If these words were said by the ministers of those neutral factions, Xia Qixuan might still believe them a little bit, but these words were said by the ministers under Xia Qin's command, so the moisture in them is self-evident, and it is self-evident. Xia Qixuan was even more startled by Miscellaneous' conspiracy.

He yelled in his heart that it was not good, but when he immediately looked at Ming Shengdi, he saw the fearful look cast by Ming Shengdi, and suddenly knew that Xia Qin's move was right.

"It turns out that Qixuan's grandson has such a high reputation among the common people?" Ming Shengdi said oh, his eyes were obscure, and when he looked at Xia Qixuan, he carried some deep meaning.

Xia Qixuan hadn't had time to say the word "no", but a minister who was also under the prince's command on the other side answered before him.

"That's right, the emperor doesn't know. His Royal Highness is indeed a first-class virtuous generation. Although he is only the grandson of the emperor, he cares about the people of the world. He often opens medical clinics among the people and distributes rice grains for free. The shop, in order to relieve those poor people who have to eat and sleep in the open due to lack of food, is quite loved and supported by the people!"

Xia Qixuan narrowed his eyes and glared at the eloquent minister, wishing that he would become dumb and shut up.

But even though Xia Qixuan glared at the minister angrily, he didn't intend to shut up at all, instead, his face was filled with joy, and the more he spoke, the happier he became.

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid you don't know. A few days ago, His Royal Highness the Emperor's eldest grandson rescued an old woman among the people, and sent the old woman home to settle down without any pretensions, and even gave her a silver tael."

"The old lady is very grateful to His Royal Highness, and every time she talks about His Royal Highness, she praises him for being a king. Some people who are next to the old woman also have the same attitude as her. Among the people, His Royal Highness His prestige has already spread far and wide, surpassing His Royal Highness by more than half a point."

The ministers talked more and more vigorously, but Xia Qixuan became more and more frightened when he heard it.

After hearing this series of words, Ming Shengdi looked at Xia Qixuan with eyes that could no longer be described with fear, but with deep suspicion and suspicion.

"You said that the common people praised Qixuan, and he looked like a king?" Ming Shengdi asked in a deep tone, staring at Xia Qixuan with an obscure expression.

"Exactly! If the emperor doesn't believe it, he can send people to the people to inquire about it. The reputation of the emperor's eldest grandson has already spread among the people. You only need to ask a few people to find out the reputation of the emperor's eldest grandson among the people. It's clear."

Ming Shengdi hummed twice, but didn't say anything unnecessary.

The courtiers here are still arguing endlessly, and those who have a few words will report to suggest that Emperor Ming Sheng should depose Xia Qin and change Li Xia Qixuan to be the crown prince.

Even though Xia Qixuan knew that those ministers deliberately told Ming Shengdi Hall about his behavior among the people in order to make Ming Shengdi suspicious of him, but under the circumstances, if he denied it, it would be It seems that the intention is not pure.

After thinking about it, Xia Qixuan had no choice but to hold his hands up and say: "Grandpa, the things my grandson did for the people in the folk are just to help the displaced people live a better life, and there is no other purpose." , I don’t think I have any royal demeanor. But my grandson is just imitating the benevolent behavior of the emperor’s grandfather. In terms of the emperor’s demeanor, who in this world can be better than the emperor’s grandfather. The love of ministers and adults The words with the common people are too flattering to the grandson, the grandson implores the grandpa of the emperor not to listen to it, the grandson of the crown prince really cannot sit."

However, under Xia Qixuan's strong denial, Xia Qin, who had been waiting silently just now, sighed twice, and said softly: "Nephew Qixuan, you must stop being humble. The things you did for the people, the emperor Uncle, I am ashamed of myself. Now in the hearts of the people in Shangjing, you are more suitable to be the prince than my uncle. If the father prefers you to be the prince, you should not shirk it anymore. We are all for the big For the people of Lai, it is not the same who should be the one who should retire."

"This is really inappropriate!"

Xia Qixuan hadn't exhausted his words of refusal, but he heard Ming Shengdi cough twice to stop everyone from speaking.

"Okay, okay, let me think carefully about this matter before making a decision. After all, abolishing the crown prince is not a trivial matter. If you make a hasty conclusion after listening to your words, wouldn't it seem that I am not very particular. If Qixuan is serious As you said, he won the hearts of the people, so he is not unworthy of the crown prince."

Ming Shengdi bit down on the words "won the hearts of the people", and looked at Xia Qixuan with a pair of eyes.If today's incident hadn't happened, Xia Qixuan would have been ecstatic when he heard Ming Shengdi praise him so much, but based on the current situation, Xia Qixuan couldn't laugh at Ming Shengdi's praise.

With a pale face, he clenched his fists tightly and looked towards Xia Qin involuntarily. As expected, when Xia Qixuan looked at Xia Qin, Xia Qin also looked back at her.

There was deep calculation hidden in Xia Qin's fine mouse eyes, and when he looked at Xia Qixuan, he suddenly flashed a malicious smile, which made Xia Qixuan shiver.

The admonishment of the imposing ministers to depose the prince passed away under Ming Shengdi's deliberate downplay.And this act of high-ranking ministers jointly proposing to depose the prince has different meanings for the various forces.

The people of Xia Bin's faction were naturally watching the fire from the other side. Whether Ming Shengdi finally agreed to abolish the crown prince or not, and whether Xia Qin was established or not, this matter had nothing to do with their faction.

If Xia Qin was abolished and Li Xia Qixuan was replaced as the prince, then they only need to take advantage of Xia Qixuan's first ascension to the prince's throne and suppress him when his position is unstable, then Xia Qixuan's position will not sit for too long. It's not going to fall on Xia Bin's head.

If Xia Qin has not been deposed and is still the prince, then it doesn't matter, Ming Shengdi can annoy her once, and he can annoy him a second time, and now Xia Qin's weight in Ming Shengdi's heart is not as great as before, as long as they can If you grasp the opportunity well, there is still a great possibility to replace him.

However, what Xia Bin's party members never expected was that Xia Qixuan, who had such a high voice, not only was not crowned prince by Ming Shengdi after seven days, but was crowned Nanfan King instead.

Nanfan King, as the name suggests, is the monarch of the remote Nanfan land.

Although the folk customs in that place are simple and honest, it is still in the development stage. Compared with the rich and colorful Shangjing City, it is not an exaggeration to call it a remote village.

Since he was made the king of Nanfan, he was going to Nanfan to garrison the fiefdom.Xia Qixuan was only in his twenties, and he hadn't even married the emperor's eldest grandson Zheng's wife, so he was transferred to the south by Ming Shengdi in the name of being pure, benevolent, filial, and able to treat the people well. .Even in the middle, she was grandly told that when she went to that area, she should keep in mind the royal demeanor and continue to love the people with benevolence and virtue.

Those who knew the situation in the main hall that day understood at this moment that the words given to Xia Qixuan by Ming Shengdi were clearly a satire on the things he did here to love the country and the people.

The eldest grandson of the emperor, who had been very prosperous before, was hastily given the title by some Ming emperors and sent to the southern region. This change made the eldest grandson of the emperor's faction unexpected.

One must know that in this imperial court, it is very important to stand on the right side of the party. They valued Xia Qixuan's qualifications far more than Xia Bin and Xia Qin before, so they sided with his faction to help him become a great treasure.

But now that Xia Qixuan was granted the title of King of Nanfan, it meant that he would have nothing to do with the crown prince from now on.They were on the wrong team, so how could they not be alarmed or worried.

However, the prince Xia Qin, who had been harshly criticized by Emperor Ming Sheng before, seemed to be a normal person. In the position of prince.

A courtier weighing the struggle has already seen the outcome at this time.

Whether it's Xia Qin or Xia Qixuan.They are all people who can decide their future at will with a word or a gesture of Ming Shengdi.And in this world, after all, only the person sitting on the dragon chair can be the master.

The good and the bad, the loser and the winner under the scheming competition are all God's will.
