After hearing what the old emperor said, Hu Qiong was silent for a long time before reluctantly nodding in agreement.

To be honest, if this opportunity had been given to other princes, they would have laughed secretly.

But Hu Qiong is different.

In his early years, he had experienced the dangers of the royal family, which often took people's lives and were cold and ruthless.

Moreover, when he came back this time, he was mainly worried about his father's safety and had no idea about the throne.

He never thought he could sit in this position.

Therefore, he originally planned to return to Lihai City after his father recovered, to live and practice at the same time.

It's great to be free and carefree.

But, God did not fulfill people’s wishes. .??.

The old emperor was right, a person's origin cannot be chosen.

Since he has the blood of the Hu family, he must fulfill his corresponding responsibilities and be able to take charge.

"Okay, let's leave it at that!"

"In addition, I just heard from Feng Wujue that your third brother seems to have done something to you."

The old emperor narrowed his eyes and said lightly, then ordered Feng Wujue to say: "Bring the third and eighth children here!"

"yes!"

Feng Wujue accepted the order and left.

It only took him a while to drink tea, but he was back, accompanied by the third and eighth princes who looked concerned about their concubines.

"Father! Spare my life!"

"Although I captured my ninth brother from Lihai City, I didn't even lay a finger on him!"

"Moreover, in the underground ruins, I also carried out the battle for inheritance as normal. It is appropriate to take action against Xiaojiu's people..."

"Please give me a clear lesson from my father, please give me a clear lesson from my father!"

The third prince was so frightened that his soul almost flew away.

Just now in the palace, his eldest brother was beheaded!

This shows that the father is really angry!

If he says something wrong, he may even have to move his head!

The old emperor looked at the third prince and asked coldly: "Third prince, let me ask you, were you involved in the Huang Curse?

"

The third prince suddenly became frightened and said anxiously: "Father, I was not involved in this matter, and I don't know what the wild curse is."

"Brother, he wants to be the emperor, how can he discuss it with me?"

"I hope you can learn from this!"

He was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and kowtowed as if pounding garlic.

The old emperor naturally knew this truth.

No matter who the eldest prince colludes with, he will not collude with the third prince. After all, the third prince's power is equal to his.

"What about Lao Ba?"

Saying that, the old emperor looked at the eighth prince again.

"thump!"

The eighth prince knelt down directly and said in a trembling voice: "Father, third brother doesn't even know about this, and I don't even know about it!"

"Although I'm usually a bit of a playboy, even if I had a hundred courages, I wouldn't dare to murder you!"

"Father, I hope you can learn from me!"

Looking at the two people kneeling on the ground, the old emperor nodded slightly and said calmly: "Okay, I will believe your words for now."

"However, there is one more thing I want to warn you about."

"Father, please speak!"

The third prince and the eighth prince both said quickly.

"Xiao Jiu is the next emperor appointed by me. From today on, he is the crown prince of the royal family. He enjoys the status of being inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people."

"Are you convinced?" The old emperor's eyes darkened and he asked coldly.

"I accept it!"

"Xiaojiu is great, I admire him too!"

The third prince and the eighth prince expressed their stance without hesitation.

Are you kidding? Do they dare to express dissatisfaction now?

I guess my head will fall off as soon as I say it.

"In addition, Mr. Xu is Xiaojiu's master and will also be the national master of the royal family in the future."

"I don't care what grudges you had before. From today on, when you see him, you must be respectful and take the initiative to salute him. Do you understand?"

"Whoever dares to harbor disloyal intentions again, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

The old emperor said, with a steely cold look on his face.

"Yes Yes Yes!"

"Father, don't worry, we will never offend Mr. Xu again!"

The third prince and the eighth prince said in a panic.

However, a hint of complexity flashed through their hearts.

Once upon a time, this little monk from Posuo Prefecture was not taken seriously by them. He was like an ant who could be crushed to death at will with just a lift of his foot.

But what now?

This boy suddenly changed his identity and became the national advisor of the Hu family.

And the status is still above them!

It’s simply unacceptable!

"Okay, I've said everything that needs to be said!"

"If you make big mistakes again and cause bad consequences, don't blame Father, and don't say anything unforeseen!"

After the old emperor finished speaking, he flicked his sleeves.

The Third Prince and the Eighth Prince both bowed and then left with trembling bodies.

After walking out of here, the two of them looked at each other, both feeling a little lost...

The royal family's battle to seize the heir affects all the forces in Beihe Prefecture.

Many people's eyes gathered here, paying attention to the situation here.

"Who knows what happened to the battle for the inheritance? How far has it gone?"

"Who won the first place? The eldest prince?"

"Nonsense! He must be the eldest prince! He usually has the aura of a prince, and with the many masters around him, among the many princes, I am afraid that only the third prince can compete with him, and no one else can!"

"Yes! I dare to conclude that the future emperor will be either the eldest prince or the third prince!"

"Have you heard? It seems that the Ninth Prince has also arrived at the palace!"

>

"Haha, he is the useless prince who was driven out of Beihezhou since he was a child and cannot practice cultivation? He also participated in the battle to seize the rightful son? What a joke!"

"It's indeed a joke. He wants people but no one, and wants knowledge but no knowledge. How can he compete with those princes?"

Everyone shook their heads and discussed the situation in front of them.

Most of them admire the eldest prince and the third prince.

He is not optimistic about the Ninth Prince.

It was determined that the Ninth Prince was the one who cheated and cheated.

But not long after, a piece of news came out, causing a shock.

"Have you heard? I just got the news that the phantom old man is dead!"

"What?!"

As soon as these words came out, there was a sudden gasp of air from the venue.

"The phantom old man next to the eldest prince?"

"You're not going to joke again, are you?"
