Summon the Big Boss

Chapter 711 Intimidating the First Prince

Facing the eldest prince's doubts, Lin Xi didn't waver in the slightest.

This kind of scene... how to say?

It has been unable to bring any spiritual stimulation to Lin Xi.

Having said that, Lin Xi did his best to save face.

On the surface, he showed such an angry expression, and then said: "Your Highness seems to have misunderstood me. At the beginning, I didn't want to advance and retreat with Your Highness, but in fact, it was because Your Highness has achieved great success. It's time to bide your time. And now... that's not the case."

Before the eldest prince could speak, Xia Houjie couldn't help himself, jumped out, pointed at Lin Xi and said, "Old Five...Xia Houzun, you are deliberately scaremongering! Who doesn't know, His Royal Highness is already the most powerful person now. The strong prince, more than half of the six provinces near the sea, is held by the first prince, inside and outside the court, regardless of military affairs, there are many ministers, but the first prince is the one who follows the lead. In such a situation... apart from His Royal Highness, who else will there be?"

Lin Xi sneered and said, "Sure enough, they are barbarians, but they have no brains."

This sentence directly angered Xia Houjie, and he rolled up his sleeves to attack Lin Xi.

Bloodline endowed Xia Houjie with a strong physique. If he was a general, he could indeed have the bravery of ten enemies, but that was all.

Lin Xi's words made him expose his upper limit.

The obvious disappointment in the eldest prince's eyes was already very obvious.

And this is exactly Lin Xi's purpose.

His role, from the present point of view, temporarily overlaps with that of Xia Houjie.

That being the case, it would be right to step on Xia Houjie first.

Ignoring Xia Houjie's teeth and claws, Lin Xi clasped his fists and said quickly to the eldest prince: "The three provinces of Binhai, Qindong, and Yangnan are all important towns near the sea in our Xia Kingdom. Now Xia Kingdom is powerful and dominates all countries. Nine out of ten of the country's wealth comes from From overseas. The importance of the land near the sea is far beyond any previous period. However...Since His Highness controls these three provinces, how dare you ask the important officials of the three provinces, are they really under the control of His Highness?"

"Let's just talk about my Xiahou Mansion... my father Xiahou Mingde has six sons...but only my elder brother and I are of pure blood. Of course... due to some people, only three sons are left. So... my father Xiahou Mingde never returned from overseas, but now he has gone deeper into the land of Tianyin, established the Great Eastern Navy and company, and is famous... to suppress Qihai."

"General Wu of Eastern Qin, Chief Qin of Yangnan... are also not in the territory of Xia Kingdom. Is it because they don't want to come back, or...can't come back?"

Lin Xi's inquiry caused the First Prince's complexion to change slightly.

Obviously, he has not thought about related matters at all.

Perhaps, he also has staff around him who have conducted a series of analyzes for him.

"Let's talk about the court's military administration... how sure is Your Highness? Those who turn to you, do they really think about you and never turn back... or are they just following others?"

"Your Highness! As long as there is no movement from the eight kings with different surnames, no matter how confident you are... those are all false. Only Jane is in the emperor's heart... that is real." Lin Xi's words directly hit the essence.

Since the beginning of the Xia Kingdom, the eight kings with different surnames have never been allowed to marry the royal family, and they are not allowed to marry each other. They maintain their mutual restraint and mutual supervision, but they also defend the royal family's power.In politics, the eight kings with different surnames rarely interfered, but in terms of military power, the power they wielded was astounding.

It was only after Lin Xi came into contact with Luo Cheng that he gradually understood these things.

Because of their miraculous skills, the descendants of the eight kings with different surnames, as long as they are not too incompetent, can more or less become relatively talented people.

And the style of the eight kings with different surnames, who are not really connected and combined with each other, and keep a relative distance from the royal family, makes them seem to have created eight different family groups independently from the country.

If they cannot unite, they cannot pose a threat to the royal family.

And their own existence guaranteed the emperor's rights.

It's a balance.

It has to be said that the founding emperor of the Xia Kingdom had a very clear view of the emperor's powers and real authority.

This is something that many so-called emperors do not possess.

In reality, there will be many emperors, and even naively think that the power of the king is really granted by God.

As long as you sit in that position, you can command the world as you please.

The simplicity of ideas is astonishing.

As Lin Xi's words fell to the ground, the First Prince's expression completely changed.

The so-called authorities are fans.

He was in the middle of the game, seeing his own momentum getting stronger and stronger, and the power he grasped was getting bigger and bigger, so he couldn't help feeling a little bit smug.

Already gave birth to a sense of who I am.

However, after listening to Lin Xi's explanation, he was suddenly poured cold water and calmed down.

When I think about it again, I suddenly feel like a thorn on my back, and I can't help but sweat.

The eight kings with different surnames are always in the hands of the current emperor, and most of the military and political power is also indirectly or directly controlled by the emperor.

The so-called money bags of the three coasts are also temporary, and whoever is likely to be taken away.

Look again... what is this?

The huge external momentum made him involuntarily stand on the opposite side of the emperor.

Especially... the eldest prince is now the leader of the 'reform faction', and the emperor's recent style of doing things has become increasingly conservative, gradually unable to keep up with the needs and greed of the rising capitalists and nobles.

He thought that, as a last resort, he could force the palace to seize the throne.

That's why the first prince seemed confident.

Coming to see Lin Xi was only for the sake of breathing in my heart.

Rather than saying that he came to wait for Lin Xi's defection, it was better to say that he came to humiliate Lin Xi in a disguised form, in order to repay Lin Xi for ignoring the solicitation.

"What should I do...Please teach me, sir!" The eldest prince couldn't help but his tone changed.

The so-called ignorant are fearless.

There are some things that Xia Houjie doesn't understand.

So even though Lin Xi had said so much, he still looked down on Lin Xi, watching Lin Xi blow a few blows, waiting to punch Lin Xi to look good.

However, the eldest prince is different.

He knew more, combining what Lin Xi said with some things he knew, it just felt creepy.

"This matter is not difficult to say."

"It's nothing more than two choices. The first choice is to delegate power... Give up whoever gets it, and be a good son, a good brother. As for whether you can get a big position... it depends on what your Majesty thinks, It's all up to His Majesty to decide." Lin Xi said with a smile.

The words hadn't fully landed on the ground, but he already understood that the eldest prince would never choose such a choice.

He is not a person who is willing to hand over his fate to others.

Even if that person is his father, he is the emperor of this country.

Under Lin Xi's eyes peeking at fate, the fate of the eldest prince is going to the guillotine.

However, this is only fate, not the future.

This does not mean that in the future the First Prince cannot ascend to the throne of God and become the emperor of the Xia Kingdom.

The two do not conflict.
