Chapter 527 Who inherits the throne?
There was no difference in the appearance of the Han Dynasty's palace, but in fact it had entered a state of full combat readiness, blocking all the news in the palace. Except for a few important officials who were ordered, there was some freedom, and a team of people followed the other personnel in and out.
In the palace's convention hall, the prince, who was first excited to get the news and was so excited that his eyes were red, had calmed down after two days and one night of busyness.
But all kinds of things are still there. This is a mountain that is pressing above the Han Dynasty. Now this mountain is gone, but there are still many subsequent problems.
"Report to Your Highness, all orders from the Ministry of War have been issued. Now it is time to discuss the new candidate for the King of the Town." At this time, the left prime minister Cao Shiping came in, and Cao Shiping did not rest, and his expression seemed very excited.
After all, the court did not dare to speak loudly when the king of town was there. At least he was a noble prime minister and did not dare to touch any matters related to the king of town. Every time the king of town asked for money, food, and wages, they would be in pain and had to raise all their efforts.
Not to mention that the court has been secretly preparing to fight with King Zhen, and he has to reconcile the conflicts between the two sides. Cao Shiping has long been overwhelmed. Now, once King Zhen dies, even if there is anything next, it is not worth worrying.
"Well, let's talk." The prince rubbed his forehead gently. For some reason, he always felt a little dazed recently. In theory, his state and body, not to mention a few days, would not be like this even if he had been for a long time. At this moment, he had already thought about it in his heart. He quickly used the treasure given to him by his father to practice. If his strength increases, he might be able to make up for the loss.
"Although King Zhen is not like Liu Yuchengen, he has many descendants. Among them, those who grow up and have a certain reputation must belong to the Eight Tigers of the Xia family. The eight tigers of the eight tigers are different. One of the reasons is that Xia Zhen's eldest son, who is also the head of the Eight Tigers, has the word "Xia Hu". This person is powerful and domineering. In the later period, he led several battles in the King Zhen's army, and there are many people who support him in the army."
Cao Shiping said, and then he saw that the prince didn't say anything, so he continued to introduce it.
"The second tiger among the eight tigers is Xia Lei. He has been with Xia Hu since he was a child. He has a rough personality and is a talented general. He is dedicated to supporting Xia Hu and has no intention of competing for the throne. The third old Xia Feng has a brilliant literary talent. He had the opportunity to win the palace examination five years ago. He had the opportunity to win the top scorer, but suddenly disappeared. He didn't return to the Zhenguo Mansion half a year ago. It is said that he had traveled. This person was very talented back then, but he didn't know the details of the disappearance for many years. After returning, he started to be responsible for some clerks in the Zhenguo Mansion, and he had already received the support of most civil servants in the Zhenguo Mansion in one year."
"The fourth brother of Bahu is called Xia Guang, who is the brother of Xia Feng's mother. He has been worshipping Xia Guang since he was a child. The fifth tiger among Bahu is called Xia Chen, a general in the army, but this person is Xia Lu, who follows the seventh tiger among the eight tigers. It can be said that except for Xia Feng's situation, Xia Hu and Xia Lu should be the one who has the most chance to win the throne of the king. Both of them have support in the army. No matter whether they support either side, the problem should be not big."
"Well, I have heard of these two. No, there are two less?" The prince forced himself to make a living and sat upright at Cao Shiping. Their purpose was very clear, but as he listened, he felt that there were two less tigers.
"The sixth tiger in the Xia family is Xia Xue. It is said that he will be crazy on the battlefield, not worse than Xia Hu and Xia Lu, but it is impossible to become the king of the town. The youngest tiger is called Xia Yu, the one who was dealt with by Xia Fan last time when he came to Hanjing. He was barely joined."
"What did you discuss?" The prince was so energetic that this matter was also of great importance.
"Although there are a few people who think that taking advantage of the death of King Zhen, the throne of the three kings of the opposite sex are directly cut off, but King Jingnan has been rooted in the southwest for generations and has a strong family power. King Pingnan Zhao Yin has only his only son Zhao Yi, and they are all very easy to control. The old ministers think there is no need to unite them at this time. Moreover, the court has just conferred the King Zhenhai, and the King of the opposite sex is no longer necessary to degrade them. In the past, with King Zhen, he could unite others. Now, as long as the power of King Zhen is divided, they will make them fight in the internal struggle is the safest way, so one must choose from the King Zhen’s son to be the king, causing a partial split in the King Zhen.”
"The prime minister is right. In fact, I was very puzzled at the beginning. Why did my father not let me take action? Now I understand my father's plan. Even if I want to fight, I have to let the King of Zhen first fight within. And as soon as they fight within, the court will have an excuse. First, I can win over some people, and then see the situation gradually weaken the King of Zhen and eventually completely collapse." Because the emperor has been in seclusion, in fact, the prince is overwhelmed by the King of Zhen every day in recent years, so he is also very excited at this moment.
"That's right, if your Majesty and the Prince control the overall situation, it is natural for others to make waves when the King of Town dies. The old minister studies it according to the meaning of Your Majesty and the Prince. Originally, Xia Hu and Xia Lu are the first choice, because no matter who they become King of Town, the other party will not be convinced. But just an hour ago, the old minister received a message from the King of Town using official channels. First, they reported that the King of Town was assassinated, and second, there were some Xia Feng's personal meanings mixed in it."
"What do you mean by yourself? Say..." The prince was surprised when he heard this.
"Xia Feng said it very tactfully, but his meaning was very clear. He wanted to be a civil minister and a civil king. In other words, if he could become the king of town, he would return the military power to the court and govern the king of town. At the same time, he also revealed that if the territory that King of Town had captured over the years and the territory controlled by other forces, and after the Han Dynasty was completely centralized in its royal power, it would definitely become a super empire that could compete with the Kingdom of the Great Sun and the Tianyu Empire, and he would become the eternal sage king."
After Cao Shiping finished speaking, he looked up at the prince with a smile.
"Okay!" Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, the prince slapped the table and shouted loudly.
"A smart man is indeed a smart man who almost became the top scholar. He knows the current affairs and understands that only this method can ensure that the Xia family is comprehensive. If the orders belong to the court come from the King of Zhen himself, it will have different meanings. Then let the world see what it means to know the current affairs as a hero. If he can really do it, the palace and the father will definitely give him the honor and favor of the wise king for thousands of years..." The prince stood up and walked back and forth, unable to help but slapped the high fives to celebrate. After so many years, he finally raised his head today.
You should know that there are many neighboring countries in the Han Dynasty. If all those small countries can be cleaned up, the Han Dynasty will definitely not only be the current situation. But in fact, whether it is the later rise and destroying the demon kingdom, then strongly annexing the Zhen King controlled by many surrounding countries, or the Jingnan King family who lived in the southwest for generations, they all control many small countries around them. Not only that, but also other places. In addition to the big grasslands in the northwest, there are also some similar small countries around the Great General of the Assistant Kingdom.
Although many of these small countries paid tribute and quickly stabilized the Han Dynasty at the beginning, it became a hidden danger in the later period. The court wanted to clean up and expand, but found that they were surrounded by these small countries, and these small countries were closely related to the aristocratic families and forces within the court.
The Demon Kingdom appeared and destroyed many small countries. After the King of Zhen ruled the Western Front, he completely quelled all the small countries on the Western Front. However, the territory controlled by King of Zhen was no longer under the control of the court. Therefore, some people said that King of Zhen occupied half of the world, because the territory captured by King of Zhen in the later period did not even have to be much smaller in the original Han Dynasty.
In fact, if it were in the past, families like Cao Shiping and others also controlled some small countries, but after the turmoil of the Demon Kingdom, most of the small countries they controlled were destroyed. Especially the small countries controlled by most families were on the Western Front, so they hated the King of Town the most. Now there is not much of their interests, so they will of course support this decision more.
"What Your Highness said is so, and the old ministers think so. Xia Feng is talented but has no military power. The civil service system of the King of Kings supports him. If the court gives him a great reputation, he will definitely rely on the court. Moreover, once this example is opened, the disadvantages of our Han Dynasty for thousands of years can be wiped out. At that time, our Han Dynasty will no longer be harassed by other small countries and will no longer be threatened by grasslands. At that time, we can directly dominate the world with the Great Sun God Kingdom and the Tianyu Empire, rule the world, and become an eternal dynasty." Cao Shiping is not an ordinary person to become a prime minister. He immediately bowed and said, and handed over the merit decision to the prince, and at the same time he flattered him very skillfully.
The Eternal Dynasty is not that simple thing. Although the Han Dynasty is also very powerful, it is still impossible to compare with the Great Sun God Kingdom and the Tianyu Empire. The Great Sun God Kingdom and the Tianyu Empire are both countries that have been passed down for tens of thousands of years. Although the Tianyu Empire is a country that has declined and risen, everyone knows that the emperor of the Tianyu Empire is the disciple of the imperial master, and the Tianyu Empire has a strong foundation. After hundreds of years of development, it is now enough to compete with the Great Sun God Kingdom.
In fact, if it weren't for the rise of the Tianyu Empire and the Kingdom of Great Sun God continued to fight with it, I'm afraid the Kingdom of Great Sun God would have already been in full swing.
"Okay, I'll send an order, let Xia Feng inherit the position of King Zhen." After hearing this, the prince shouted OK again and issued an order directly.
If the body was not always tired, the prince would be happier, because this time, the father had also begun to give him the power to him since the news that the king of the town was dead. This move made the prince very excited, which represented a signal.
"Yes, by the way, Your Highness, is there a tiger in the Hanjing city?" Cao Shiping bowed and agreed to leave, but he suddenly remembered something. Although it was not the rebellion of the King of Town, but without the protection and images of the King of Town, it is also a question whether to deal with this kid.
"Xia Fan..." When talking about this guy, the prince felt anger rising. Although Xia Fan did not have any conflicts with him directly, he thought about what he did and was completely blinded by the imperial power. But then he seemed to remember something and suddenly laughed.
"Your Highness?" Cao Shiping was a little puzzled.
