Chapter 291 Wang Qingci is pregnant

Great Xia Dynasty.

Beijing, the palace of Emperor Xia.

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

After a while, Emperor Xia suddenly coughed violently. The maid quickly brought a yellow silk scarf. The next moment, Emperor Xia spit blood on the scarf, dyeing the yellow silk scarf deep red.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Wenhan and Lin Gaoyuan frowned. Their eyes flickered slightly, with different thoughts and they were planning something.

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

Having said this, Emperor Xia glanced at Zhao Wenhan and Lin Gaoyuan, and then asked: "Zhao Aiqing, Lin Aiqing, in your opinion, that prince can succeed me."

Hearing this, Lin Gaoyuan and Zhao Wenhan knelt on the ground at the same time, and they said in unison: "I don't dare to speak nonsense!"

There are some things you shouldn't say randomly, especially when it comes to Li Chu.

Emperor Xia coughed a few more times, and then said: "You can say it with confidence, I forgive you."

The two of them were still lying on the ground, not daring to raise their heads. Seeing that the two of them still didn't speak, Emperor Xia snorted coldly, and then said: "Your majesty, Prime Minister, you don't even dare to express your attitude on the matter of establishing a heir. You should be honest." What kind of Prime Minister?"

After another long while, Emperor Xia said: "That's all, get up. You don't dare to say anything, and I won't force you."

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

At this time, Emperor Xia continued: "Since the founding of Daxia, the throne has been inherited by the eldest son. However, as the interference of the aristocratic families in the throne has become more and more serious, most of the eldest sons in these generations do not live to be 30 years old. The handover of the secondary throne is accompanied by a strong smell of blood."

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

Hearing Emperor Xia's words, Lin Gaoyuan and Zhao Wenhan were startled. So, Emperor Xia is planning to make the eldest prince the crown prince?
After reacting, Zhao Wenhan was overjoyed. Fortunately, after the eighth prince rebelled, he immediately took refuge with the eldest prince. If the eldest prince could successfully succeed to the throne, he would still be reused.

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

Zhao Wenhan and Lin Gaoyuan said in unison: "It all depends on His Majesty's decision!"

Although Lin Gaoyuan was a little surprised by this result, he was not incapable of understanding it. After all, Emperor Xia was about to die, and it was time to choose a successor, and he could not delay it any longer.

If he is capable, the eldest prince can be regarded as quite satisfactory. The key is that the eldest prince is the eldest son and should have inherited the throne. However, the generations of Daxia families have interfered too much with the throne, and the inheritance system of eldest son has long existed in name only.

But having said that, Lin Gaoyuan does not think that the eldest prince can inherit the throne so smoothly. He has a relatively good understanding of the current structure of the court. He knows very well that there are basically several forces behind each prince, and the most important thing is that most of them The prince has the support of the vassal king behind him.

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

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

He is very familiar with the development of the Northern Kingdom. The current development speed of the Northern Kingdom is very fast, and the military strength of the Northern Kingdom is becoming more and more powerful. Currently, no feudal state in Daxia has as strong a military strength as the Northern Kingdom.

Once the vassal kings from various places raise their armies, they will definitely fight to the death. The Northern Kingdom will wait for the opportunity. With the military strength of the Northern Kingdom, the Northern King will definitely be able to successfully ascend to that position.

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

But now is not the time to think about this. He can't find a solution to this now, so he can only follow the development of things and see the situation.

At this time, Emperor Xia said haggardly: "Zhao Aiqing, Lin Aiqing, please go down. What I said to you today must not be spread randomly."

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

"I'm waiting to retire."

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

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

At this time, Emperor Xia asked coldly: "Who does Lin Gaoyuan support?"

Hearing this question, the black figure behind the pillar replied: "Nothing has been found yet. He has kept his distance from any prince. He seems to want to remain neutral."

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

Now the ministers in the court are basically taking sides. As the prime minister of Zuo, Lin Gaoyuan still doesn't choose the prince he likes when the dynasty may change its owner. This seems a bit suspicious.

If you don't take sides at this time, after the battle for the throne is over, the Lin family will not be as prosperous as it is now. It's hard to say whether Lin Gaoyuan, the prime minister, will be able to continue to do so.

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. The vassal kings from all over the Xia Dynasty had already joined the game. Now it was up to the one in the north to catch 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!"

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 [-] 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 [-] heavy cavalry in the northwest? ?

Moreover, the Northern Kingdom only has a total of [-] heavy cavalry. The [-] 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 that 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. 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 have 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 north, 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.
