Chapter 291 Wang Qingci Is Pregnant

Daxia Dynasty.

In the capital, Emperor Xia's bedroom.

Emperor Xia was lying on the bed, looking like he was dying. At this time, Zhao Wenhan and Lin Gaoyuan were reporting the recent developments of the major dynasties.

After a while, Emperor Xia suddenly started to cough violently. The maid hurriedly brought a yellow silk scarf. The next moment, Emperor Xia spit a mouthful of blood on the silk scarf, dyeing the yellow silk scarf dark red.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Wenhan and Lin Gaoyuan frowned, their eyes flickered slightly, their minds were different, and they were all planning something famous.

After a while, Emperor Xia said, "I didn't expect that once I fell, the major dynasties would surround me like vultures."

At this point, Emperor Xia glanced at Zhao Wenhan and Lin Gaoyuan, and then asked, "Lord Zhao, Lord Lin, in your opinion, which prince can inherit my position?"

Hearing this, Lin Gaoyuan and Zhao Wenhan knelt on the ground at the same time, and they said in unison, "Ministers dare not speak nonsense!"

Some words cannot be said casually, especially on the issue of establishing a crown prince.

Emperor Xia coughed a few more times, and then said, "You can speak boldly, I will forgive you."

The two were still lying on the ground, not daring to raise their heads. Seeing that the two were still silent, Emperor Xia snorted coldly, and then said, "As a prime minister, you dare not even express your attitude on the issue of establishing a crown prince. What kind of prime minister are you?"

After a long while, Emperor Xia said, "Forget it, get up, you dare not say it, I won't force you."

After hearing this, Zhao Wenhan and Lin Gaoyuan got up.

At this time, Emperor Xia continued, "Since the founding of Daxia, the throne has been inherited by the eldest son, but as the interference of the aristocratic families in the throne has become more and more serious, most of the eldest sons of these generations have not lived beyond the age of 30, and each handover of the throne is accompanied by a strong smell of blood."

"Now that the Jiangnan aristocratic families have been destroyed, those ancient aristocratic families have also restrained themselves a lot. It's time to return to the eldest son inheritance system."

Hearing what Emperor Xia said, Lin Gaoyuan and Zhao Wenhan were stunned. So, Emperor Xia is planning to make the eldest prince the crown prince?

After reacting, Zhao Wenhan was ecstatic. Fortunately, after the eighth prince rebelled, he immediately surrendered to the eldest prince. If the eldest prince can succeed to the throne smoothly, he will still be reused.

Emperor Xia continued, "I intend to make the eldest prince the crown prince. What do you two think?"

Zhao Wenhan and Lin Gaoyuan said in unison, "It's all up to your majesty to decide!"

Although Lin Gaoyuan was a little surprised by this result, he could understand it. After all, Emperor Xia was almost dying, and the successor should be chosen. It couldn't be delayed any longer.

In terms of ability, the eldest prince was considered to be quite standard. The key point was that the eldest prince was the eldest son and should have inherited the throne. However, the generations of the Xia family interfered too much in the throne, and the eldest son inheritance system had long been in name only.

But then again, Lin Gaoyuan didn't think that the eldest prince could inherit the throne so smoothly. He was quite familiar with the current court structure. He knew very well that each prince basically had several forces behind him, and the most important thing was that most of the princes had the support of the princes.

Once Emperor Xia appoints the eldest prince as the crown prince and passes the throne to him, it is very likely that the eldest prince will not be able to suppress other princes, let alone the vassal kings of Daxia. At that time, the eldest prince will most likely be pulled down from the throne.

Lin Gaoyuan is not optimistic about the eldest prince at all. In his opinion, the King of the North is still the most suitable candidate for the throne.

He is very familiar with the development of the North Country. The current development speed of the North Country is very fast, and the military strength of the North Country is becoming stronger and stronger. At present, there is no vassal state in Daxia that has such a strong military strength as the North Country.

Once the vassal kings of various places rise up, they will fight to the death. The North Country will wait for an opportunity to move. With the military strength of the North Country, the King of the North will definitely be able to successfully ascend to that position.

However, Lin Gaoyuan is currently a little worried about the Dawu Dynasty and the Dayue Dynasty. If Daxia is really in civil strife, these two dynasties will not sit still and watch.

But now is not the time to think about these things. He can't find a solution if he thinks about these things now. He can only wait and see as things develop.

Emperor Xia said haggardly: "Lord Zhao, Lord Lin, please go down. Don't spread what I said to you today."

The two said in unison again: "We understand."

"We will take our leave."

Then the two of them turned around and left Emperor Xia's bedroom. After they both left, a dark shadow appeared from behind the pillar of the room.

At this time, Emperor Xia got up from the bed, put his hands behind his back, and looked out the window. He was completely different from the sick image just now. At this time, he didn't look sick at all.

At this time, Emperor Xia asked in a cold voice: "Who does Lin Gaoyuan support?"

Hearing this question, the shadow behind the pillar replied: "Nothing has been found yet. He keeps a distance from any prince. He looks like he wants to remain neutral."

Emperor Xia laughed, "This old fox, he probably saw that I was pretending to be sick."

Now the ministers in the court are basically standing in line. As the left prime minister, Lin Gaoyuan did not choose the prince he favored when the dynasty might change its leader. This seems a bit suspicious.

If they don't stand in line at this time, after the fight for the throne is over, their Lin family will not be as prosperous as it is now. At that time, it is hard to say whether Lin Gaoyuan, the prime minister, can continue to work.

Emperor Xia didn't think Lin Gaoyuan would be a neutral person. In his opinion, Lin Gaoyuan must have discovered something.

But even if Lin Gaoyuan discovered something, Emperor Xia didn't care in his heart. His plan was very successful. All the vassal kings from all over the Xia Dynasty were already involved. Now it depends on whether the one in the north can fall into the trap.

If the one in the north also joins the game, then he can get away with it once and for all.

At this moment, a shadow guard appeared at the door, "Your Majesty, there is something strange happening in the North Kingdom!"

Hearing this, Emperor Xia was stunned for a moment, then took the information from the shadow guard's hand, and then opened it and took a serious look.

After seeing the 30,000 heavy cavalry stationed in Yong'an County from the North, Emperor Xia frowned slightly.

He didn't understand what the Northern Kingdom was doing. If the Northern Kingdom really planned to go south, it should directly attack the Qi Kingdom and cross over to the Qi Kingdom. Yong'an County is in the northwest, so what's the use of stationing 30,000 heavy cavalry in the northwest? ?

Moreover, the Northern Kingdom only has 50,000 heavy cavalry in total. The 30,000 heavy cavalry is considered a relatively powerful military force in the Northern Kingdom. Putting this military force in the border area of ​​the Dawu Dynasty may stimulate the Dawu Dynasty.

Emperor Xia thought for a while, but still felt a little confused about Beiguo's actions. Then Emperor Xia said, "Go and call the Imperial Master to see me!"

The shadow guard in front of Emperor Xia immediately said: "Yes, Your Majesty."

After a while, Situ Ce appeared in Emperor Xia's palace. Emperor Xia directly handed the information in his hand to Situ Ce, and then asked: "The Northern Kingdom did not send troops south, but instead dispatched heavy cavalry to Yong'an County. The Imperial Guards Why do you think this is?”

Hearing this, Situ Ce was stunned for a moment. Then he took the information from Emperor Xia and looked at it carefully. After a while, Situ Ce replied: "Your Majesty, I feel that King Bei is trying to intimidate you." Dawu, prevent Dawu from sending troops to attack Daxia during the civil strife in Daxia."

After hearing this, Emperor Xia's face darkened, and he said unhappily: "He transferred such an important military force to Yong'an County. So, does it mean that he is not tempted by the location of the capital at all?"

If the Northern King was really interested in the throne, he would definitely do what those vassal kings did and either start to expand their troops or gather their forces and wait for the opportunity.

As a result, the Northern Kingdom directly transferred the most capable heavy cavalry in the Northern Kingdom to defend against the Dawu Dynasty. Doesn't this mean that the Northern King had no intention of going south at all? Otherwise, how could he have transferred such important heavy cavalry to defend against the Dawu Dynasty.

At this time, Situ Ce said: "Your Majesty, the Northern King is loyal to the court. According to the opinion of the old minister, the Northern King will not rebel unless one day the capital cannot hold it anymore and your Majesty lets the Northern King go south. At that time, the Northern King may lead his troops." Go south."

Hearing Situ Ce's words, Emperor Xia sneered, and then said, "When did the Imperial Master side with Xiao Jiu?"

Situ Ce said neither humble nor arrogantly: "I'm just telling the truth."

Emperor Xia said calmly: "I don't believe that the Northern Kingdom will not enter the game."

All his plans now are for the North. If the North is not fooled, then his work will be in vain. No matter what, the North must take the initiative to go south.

At this time, Emperor Xia said to Situ Ce: "I am tired, so the Imperial Master should go and do his own business."

Upon hearing this, Situ Ce knew that Emperor Xia had not listened to his words at all. Emperor Xia was determined to go his own way and had to get rid of the Northern Kingdom.

Situ Ce didn't say anything more. He immediately bowed and saluted and said, "I leave."

Situ Ce believed that with Zhuge Chongguang in the Northern Kingdom, Emperor Xia's arrangements would not have any effect.

Even if King Bei doesn't understand politics, is not good at strategy, and cannot understand Emperor Xia's plan, as long as King Bei is good at listening to Zhuge Chongguang's opinions, Emperor Xia's plan will eventually come to nothing.

…

North.

Beiwang Mansion, study room.

Lu Chen and Wang Qingci created more beautiful memories today. Wang Qingci was paralyzed by these beautiful memories. If Lu Chen hadn't hugged her, she would have fallen to the ground and couldn't get up. Come.

At this time, Lu Chen picked up Wang Qingci and walked towards the secret room of the study. Seeing that Lu Chen actually carried him into the secret room, Wang Qingci suddenly thought of what Lu Chen did to him in the secret room last time. She quickly used her last strength to beg for mercy and said: "Your Majesty, please let me go..."

Lu Chen smiled and then said, "We will spend the night here tonight."

When Wang Qingci heard that he was going to spend the night, his face suddenly turned pale.

However, after Lu Chen put Wang Qingci on the bed in the secret room of the study, he just lay on the bed, then let Wang Qingci lie in his arms, and did not do anything to Wang Qingci.

Seeing that Lu Chen didn't move anything, Wang Qingci was stunned for a moment. She thought Lu Chen was going to continue to torture her, but it turned out that she was just sleeping.

so far so good.

Just when Wang Qingci breathed a sigh of relief, the corners of Lu Chen's mouth raised slightly, revealing an imperceptible smile.

At this time, Lu Chen looked up at the system interface, feeling extremely comfortable.
