Chapter 55

Daxia, Imperial Palace, Tai Chi Hall.

The Emperor Xia was high on the throne of the emperor, exuding majesty all over his body.

“There is news from the ancestral land that the last generation of guardians has returned to heaven, and there is a vacancy there. Tell me about who is sent to guard the ancestral land?”

When the emperor spoke, the ministers were silent.

No one speaks, because it’s hard to speak. This is a matter for the royal family. Who should be sent to the ministers to make irresponsible remarks?

As the ancestral land of the Great Xia Dynasty, there is definitely a need for a guardian to sit there, repair and maintain the ancestral land every day.

Now that the last guardian is dead, another person must go next.

But the point is that if you go there, you will be completely abolished. Who dares to take the call?

Just kidding, the one who has been distributed again will be sent there, and he won’t even want to come back for the rest of his life.

“Why, no one is talking?”

Xia Huang’s face sank, and the atmosphere on the scene suddenly became serious.

This made the emperor very upset. I asked, but none of you answered?

“His Majesty!”

At this time, someone finally stood up and spoke.

There is no way, you can’t make the emperor face difficult, and can’t get off the stage, then you ministers can do it well.

It was an old man who stood up, but the prime minister of the Great Xia Dynasty.

“Aiqing, please speak.” Xia Huang felt comfortable, and it would be nice if someone came to answer the call.

Otherwise, a few people will be cut off.

I saw the prime minister slowly speaking: “The ancestral land is where the dragon veins of the Great Xia are located, and people must be sent to guard it. This is the ancestral motto of the royal families of the past.”

“As for who to send, Your Majesty has forgotten that there is a member of the royal family in the ancestral land, and His Highness the Ninth Prince is there.”

When the old man said, everyone suddenly remembered.

That’s right, when the Emperor Xia directly distributed the nine princes to the ancestral land, now it seems that it is just right.

Many people cursed secretly, and the look in the prime minister’s eyes became a little weird.

You bad old man, this action is to completely exclude His Royal Highness from the imperial power and never want to come back.

Emperor Xia narrowed his eyes and looked at the prime minister in front of him with blinking eyes.

He knew very well that the prime minister secretly supported the three princes, but he just took the opportunity to reject the other princes outside.

“Your Majesty, the Nine Highnesses are unwilling to return to the palace, why not fulfill his wish and let him guard the ancestral land and become the next guardian?”

At this time, someone stood up and spoke again.

“Yes, His Majesty once issued an edict to ask him to return to the palace, but His Majesty Ninth himself refused.”

“It just so happens that he becomes the next generation of guardians and guards the ancestral land.”

Next, the ministers on the Great Hall directly agree with the Prime Minister’s proposal, saying one thing to another.

Well, all of them excluded the Nine Princes, obviously no one was optimistic about the Nine Princes Xia Chen.

It’s no wonder that Xia Chen was pitted before, and he was actually used as a gunman.

“Come on, decree!”

Emperor Xia thought for a long time, and finally decided: “Through my order, call His Highness the Nine Princes to return to the palace. If he does not want to return to the palace, he will order him to guard the ancestral land and become the next generation of guardians.”

“According to the purpose!”

Soon, the imperial edict was drawn up, and an eunuch immediately sent the imperial edict to the ancestral land.

This is telling Xia Chen that there are two choices to either return or stay in the ancestral land and become the next generation of guardians.

Emperor Xia gave the Ninth Prince Xia Chen two choices.

You can go back to the palace, and then send someone to the ancestral land.

But if Xia Chen really doesn’t come back, there is no other way but to let him stay in the ancestral land for the rest of his life as a spirit guard.

“Also, I would like to select ten beautiful palace ladies and give them to the Nine Princes. If they can open up their branches, they can return to the royal family in the future.”

At the end of the day, Emperor Xia gave another order to select ten young ladies of the court and send them to Xia Chen.

This is for him to start a family directly and open up branches and leaves.

“Your Majesty is wise!”

Below, hundreds of civil and military officials immediately sighed and flattered.

This is so set.

“If something happens, retreat if nothing happens!”

After Xia Huang waved his hand, he got up and left directly.

……..


On the other side, Grandpa Li, holding the imperial decree, led a group of guards, and escorted ten young ladies to the ancestral land.

As soon as I entered, I saw the empty ancestral land, and sure enough, the people had been disbanded.

As soon as the guards leave, all the handymen and guards recruited before will be disbanded, and the next generation of guards must be reorganized.

It is equivalent to saying that the keeper exists exclusively for the purpose of taking care of the ancestral land.

Li Gonggong and others quickly found Xia Chen in the ancestral land, and he was sweeping the floor.

“I have seen His Highness the Nine.”

Everyone stepped forward and respectfully saw him.

Xia Chen asked without raising his head: “Let’s talk, what’s the matter with you?”

“His Majesty, this is your majesty’s decree, do you think it should be accepted first?”

Li Gonggong cautioned me carefully.

Xia Chen glanced at the imperial decree in his hand, and said: “Read it, just say what you have. I want to sweep the floor.”

“…”

The crowd was speechless and looked at each other.

His Royal Highness is really different, dare to ignore the imperial edict.

But they didn’t dare to say anything, and Grandpa Li didn’t complain at all, and directly picked up the imperial edict and read it out.

“According to Emperor Xia’s will, to pardon the Ninth Prince Xia Chen, and order to return to the palace immediately to report on his duties, your highness, look.”

After reading the first half of the imperial edict, Li Gonggong asked carefully.

He hoped that the Nine Princes could return to the palace. As the ten princesses protecting the eunuch, he naturally knew that the ten princesses missed the Nine Royal Highness.

But Xia Chen didn’t want to refuse after hearing it, “Don’t go, let’s go, I’m fine here, if you reply, he will say that I will stay here and not go anywhere.”

“This…” Grandpa Li couldn’t help showing a wry smile.

Xia Chen glanced at him and said, “I haven’t finished reading the imperial edict. Continue reading.”

Li Gonggong smiled bitterly and said, “His Royal Highness Nine has the eyes of a torch. That’s right, there is actually the lower half of the imperial decree.”

“If you don’t want to return to the palace, your majesty will decree that you will be appointed as the next generation of guardians and ten ladies of the court, who can open up branches and leaves here, and guard the ancestral land for generations.”

After Li Gonggong finished speaking, he looked at Xia Chen’s expressionless expression.

He persuaded softly: “His Royal Highness, you should go back. Ten princesses miss you every day. You have been here for more than ten years, almost twenty years, and it’s time to go back.”

“No need.”

After speaking, Xia Chen looked up at him and said with a calm expression: “Let’s go, take them back, and give them to Xiao Shi.”

“This…this is given to you by His Majesty the Nine.” Grandpa Li was entangled.



Xia Chen said with a firm expression: “Take it back, don’t bother me, and tell him that he doesn’t need to send someone.”

After speaking, Xia Chen turned and left, leaving only Li Gonggong and others staying in place, with a dazed expression on his face.

I have never seen a prince like this, ignoring the imperial decree, or even showing no respect, as if he didn’t take it seriously.

“Father-in-law, what should I do?”

A guard asked.

Grandpa Li woke up and snorted coldly, “What should I do, of course I should take it home and report it truthfully.”

“Let’s go, go back to life.”

After speaking, Grandpa Li took people back again.

……..

It didn’t take long for everyone to return to the palace, and Grandpa Li returned the matter here, Xia Chen’s decision verbatim to Emperor Xia.

“You said, he refused to come back again?”

After hearing this, Emperor Xia’s face sank, and he was always upset.

My son is awkward. It seems that he doesn’t want to go back to the palace.

This made Xia Huang very annoyed.

“Huh, Nizi, the mud can’t support the wall.”

Emperor Xia was very angry, but soon calmed down.

He looked indifferent and said: “Fine, then let him, let him as the next generation of spirit guards, guard the ancestral land for generations, and spend the rest of your life there.”

After speaking, he ignored Xia Chen and forgot in a blink of an eye.

Since he refuses to come back, he will always stay in the ancestral land for the rest of his life.
