At this time.

Eunuch Wei burst into the East Palace with a serious look on his face, accompanied by palace guards: "The imperial edict has arrived, the prince will accept it!"

The prince's face froze!

He threw away the wine glass in his hand, staggered up to Eunuch Wei, and said drunkenly: "Eunuch Wei, what is written in this decree?"

"Father doesn't really want to destroy me, does he?"

Eunuch Wei said coldly: "Prince, please accept the order!"

The prince's heart sank, and he knelt on the ground weakly: "My son, I accept the order!"

Eunuch Wei opened the imperial edict and read out: "The emperor is entrusted by heaven to carry out the edict: Prince Xia Ren, I named you Ren at the beginning. I hope that you will be benevolent and virtuous and rule the world with benevolence and virtue in the future."

"However, since you ascended the throne as the crown prince, you have raised bandits and made money without regard to the laws of the country. It is simply lawless."

"You sent warriors to attack and kill your compatriot King Huangzhou. You have no brotherhood in your heart. You are simply not worthy of being a brother or a son!"

"In view of Prince Xia Ren's numerous evil deeds, he is not worthy of the position of Crown Prince of Great Xia."

"From today onwards, Prince Xia Ren will be demoted to a commoner. The Imperial City Secretary will escort him to the enshrinement hall to cultivate his mind. The Great Xia court will appoint another crown prince, please do this!"

"No......"

The prince jumped up from the ground and said with a ferocious expression: "I don't accept it!"

"I don't accept it!"

"Yes, I admit that I support bandits and make money!"

"However, it was my father who wanted to kill Stinky Laojiu in the first place. I just followed my father's wishes. What's wrong with me?"

"If there is something wrong, then it is my father's fault!"

Eunuch Wei's eyes narrowed: "Deposed Prince, Your Majesty has never ordered you to kill your own blood relatives. Please don't talk nonsense!"

"Isn't it?"

The deposed prince looked like he was crazy and said: "I all know that the reason why Stinky Laojiu was named Tian by his father, and he chose this name that defies heaven, is because..."

"Bang!"

Before the deposed prince Xia Ren finished speaking, he was slapped on the back of the head by Eunuch Wei.

The prince's true energy was scattered all over his body, and he fell limply into Eunuch Wei's arms.

Eunuch Wei warned with solemn eyes: "You can't say anything against heaven to dethrone the prince. Otherwise, it won't be as simple as taking you to the enshrinement hall to cultivate your mind!"

The deposed prince Xia Ren lay on Eunuch Wei's shoulder, his whole body weak: "Eunuch Wei, is the fact that my father killed Stinky Lao Jiu a conspiracy against this prince?"

"Tell me, does my father want Stinky Laojiu to be the crown prince?"

"Now that I have been deposed, this edict declares to the world that Stinky Lao Jiu is the biggest victim. He can naturally ask for something...including the position of the East Palace, right?"

Eunuch Wei's eyes were complicated: "Deposed Prince, you are thinking too much!"

"No! I am not dethroned. I want to see my father. I want to see my father!"

The deposed prince said frantically: "The deposed prince's edict was issued so quickly. It must be that old thief Sima Jian who was secretly trying to do it, right?"

"Has he already placed his bet on Stinky Lao Jiu?"

"Go and tell him, wouldn't it be okay for me not to have Sima Mei's idea?"

"Let him not add insult to injury, okay?"

Eunuch Wei's face became colder and colder: "Deposed Prince, you have been deposed. You are just a commoner, not a prince anymore!"

"The decree has been given!"

"Come here, escort the deposed prince Xia Ren into the enshrinement hall."

The deposed prince cried very sadly: "Eunuch Wei, when I was escorted into the enshrinement hall, I guess I didn't go to that dark place to cultivate my mind, right?"

"I have heard a legend... If you want to open the Jixia Underground Palace, you must..."

"Bang!"

Before he could finish his words, Eunuch Wei slapped him hard and knocked him unconscious!

At this time.

Eunuch Wei said with a complicated expression: "You think there are too many things!"

"Come here, take the deposed prince into the enshrinement hall."

"yes!"

The experts from the Imperial City Division stepped forward and took the deposed prince Xia Ren away.

From now on, the East Palace of the Great Xia Empire has no owner.

"Eunuch Wei..."

Concubine Cao, who had been hiding nearby for a long time, walked out of the flower bed and asked with a gloomy face: "Xia Ren was taken to the worship hall to cultivate his mind. What should I do with my body?"

Eunuch Wei smiled gently: "Your Majesty ordered that all the concubines in the East Palace will return to their respective homes. The marriage with the deposed prince is over. However, they are not allowed to get married again in this life."

Concubine Cao's eyes dimmed: "I obey the order!"

She walked out of the East Palace gate with her maid, and then said with a ferocious look: "Smelly Old Jiu, wait!"

"My emptiness and loneliness will be returned to you!"

"You wait!"

Soon after.

In the palace.

Cao Wei knelt at the door of the Imperial Study Room, his forehead already bruised and bleeding.

He said with tears streaming down his face: "Your Majesty, I am confused and guilty. Please give me another chance!"

"Come in!"

Emperor Xia's voice came from the imperial study: "Come in and tell me where you are confused?"

"What crime was committed?"

As if hearing the sound of nature, Cao Wei got up overjoyed and ran into the imperial study with brisk steps. He stood in front of the desk with a reflective look on his face: "I failed to teach the prince well and led him astray. He is not worthy of being the prince's tutor!"

"

"What else?"

Cao Wei gritted his teeth and said: "Your Majesty, that Sima Jian tried to win over the party members in the court and deceived the Holy Majesty. I did not remind him in time. I am guilty!"

"I have made up my mind to be His Majesty's ears and eyes for the rest of my life, so that he will not be able to do evil things behind Your Majesty's back, and will not be able to cover up the sky with one hand in the court. Please give me another chance to be loyal!"

As he spoke, Cao Wei burst into tears: "Your Majesty, I have been following you for decades, and I know that it is not easy for your Majesty to govern the world, and I know even more about your hard work!"

"I only ask that your majesty trust me once more and let me take care of your worries!"

"Let me help His Majesty run errands!"

"Why......"

Emperor Xia put down his pen, sighed quietly, stared at Cao Wei and said: "I know your loyalty, so I have not punished you. Otherwise, at this moment, the Imperial City Secretary has already counted the family property at your house and dragged your son's beautiful wives and concubines.

He’s gone to the Imperial City Prison!”

"Plop..."

Cao Wei broke out in a cold sweat and knelt down again: "Your Majesty is wise!"

"Sage?"

Emperor Xia walked up to Cao Wei and said, "I am so tolerant to you. Tomorrow, those censors will definitely accuse me of being a coward and a sage."

Hearing the rare swearing from the emperor, Cao Wei felt much relieved!

but.

The emperor still looked at the historian alertly and said: "The deposed prince has been taken to the enshrinement hall to cultivate his mind. I will let your daughter return to the Cao family!"

"Although she can't remarry, it's better than being confined for the rest of her life!"

Cao Wei burst into tears of gratitude: "Thank you, Your Majesty for your grace!"

Emperor Xia then sat back on his chair and asked casually: "Cao Aiqing, the position in the East Palace is now vacant. Which of my princes do you think can be the heir apparent?"

Cao Wei did not dare to speak nonsense: "Your Majesty has a candidate in mind, and I dare not say nonsense!"

Emperor Xia asked seriously: "What do you think of my Xiaojiu?"

"ah?"

Cao Wei was caught off guard: "Your Majesty, I heard that the Ninth Prince has sworn to live and die with Huangzhou!"

"Now, the Sirius army invades Huangzhou. If Huangzhou is destroyed, then the Ninth Prince..."

Cao Wei hadn't finished speaking, but Emperor Xia already understood the meaning of his words.

Emperor Xia put his hands behind his back and said quietly: "What if Xiaojiu can survive?"

Cao Wei roared in his heart: "Impossible!"

Does the emperor think that the Sirian's scimitar is vegetarian?

But, he didn't dare to say this.

"No way!"

Cao Wei reminded him with ill intentions: "Did your Majesty forget that that year, the Sword Master broke into Qin Guifei's palace?"

"Although the Sword Master is dead!"

"But, I'm afraid that the courtiers won't accept it!"

Emperor Xia's face froze, and he abruptly changed the subject and said, "Which prince does the Prime Minister think is worthy of the important task?"

Cao Wei blurted out: "Xia Chun, King of Qingzhou!"

Emperor Xia was noncommittal: "I know!"

"You go down!"

"yes!"

Cao Wei felt like he was being pardoned and quickly bowed and retreated.

Just retreated to the door of the imperial study room.

Emperor Xia's voice came again: "You Prime Minister, remember, a great chivalrous person serves the country and the people. You should use your talents where they should be used?"

"If you don't have a woman in your heart, you will naturally see things clearly!"

"yes!"

Cao Wei left the imperial study with a depressed look!

The great chivalrous person serves the country and the people!

Why does Your Majesty always use the words of the King of Huangzhou to explain matters recently?

Why?

Cao Wei's head hurt from thinking about it and he left the palace in a hurry.

He knew very well that when the deposed prince fell, he was not implicated because the emperor wanted to use him to press Sima Jian's lungs.

Looking at the entire court, only the princelings led by him were able to withstand Sima Jian.

The emperor came to him to ask his opinion on the selection of the new prince, but in fact he was telling him that his princeling must find a new master!

Therefore, he nominated the King of Qingzhou.

But, what does the emperor always mean by mentioning the king of Huangzhou?

Really, I can’t understand it more and more!

but.

He was leaving the palace now and immediately reported to the King of Qingzhou that the prince had been deposed.

In the past, he arranged Cao Bao and Cao Ma in Qingzhou because the King of Qingzhou was his second choice for the Cao family.

However, Cao Bao and Cao Ma died in Qingzhou inexplicably!

Cao Wei's breathing began to quicken!

He decided that tonight, he would pay homage to his son's beautiful wives and concubines together.

They must be made to cry bitterly.

must!

at this time.

Left Prime Minister Sima Mansion.

Sima Mei's pretty face was full of excitement, and she broke into Sima Jian's study directly: "Father, the prince has been deposed?"

Sima Jian said with a doting look on his face: "Yes!"

"You don't have to marry that loser!"

Sima Mei breathed a sigh of relief: "My daughter thanked her father!"

Sima Jian said with a smile: "The person you should thank the most for this should be your brother-in-law, King Huangzhou!"

"It was he who made everyone see clearly the true face of the Crown Prince as talentless, moralless and unkind, which led to him being deposed and freeing you!"

suddenly.

Sima Mei's breathing quickened a little, and the shadow of a peerless young man appeared in her beautiful eyes, and she murmured: "Is he brother-in-law?"

Sima Jian frowned: "Isn't it?"

Sima Mei turned around to prevent her father from seeing the emotion in her eyes. She stepped out of the study and said, "Father, if he and Lan Mei die fighting in Huangzhou, what will we do?"

A trace of sadness flashed in Sima Jian's eyes: "Then remember to pay homage to them every year!"

Tears fell from Sima Mei's eyes: "Father, stop being so harsh!"

"I know that you have sent 10,000 of the most elite private troops in your family to Tianmen Mountain and infiltrated them into the Tianmen Mountain rebels!"

Sima Jian also said loudly: "As a father, I also know that you did not hesitate to expose Sima Jian's dark network and used all our skills to deliver intelligence to Huangzhou!"

"Are you really just doing this for your sister?"

"Every winter, when the plum blossoms bloom, will he really think of you?"

Sima Mei wiped away the tears on her face: "He can!"

Sima Jian looked annoyed, stamped his feet and sighed: "Idiot, idiot!"

"King Huangzhou, is this all what my Sima family owed you in the previous life?"

Finished.

He raised his eyelids: "Here comes someone!"

Shiba flashed out of the shadows: "Master, what are your orders?"

Sima Jian clenched his fists: "Order the hidden stakes in the Qingzhou Army to stop lurking and contact the King of Huangzhou immediately. If necessary, send troops to Huangzhou to fight with the Sirius!"

"yes!"

Eighteen took the order and left.

Today, bold smoke reaches the beacon tower of the imperial capital, dooming the imperial capital to be unrest.

Ye Mansion.

Ye Jinlian took off his favorite gold hairpin, put it in the palm of his hand and touched it again and again, and finally put it in the box. He reluctantly said: "Send all these and the gold and silver outside to Huangzhou. We must

Hand it over to the King of Huangzhou with your own hands."

Her maid looked dissatisfied: "Miss, this is your favorite golden hairpin!"

"Stay!"

Ye Jinlian shook his head: "The barren state is barren. When the war breaks out, he needs money and food to recruit troops and horses to fight. What's the use of a beautiful gold hairpin? If he dies, my dream will be shattered!"

"Three years of expenses were left in the house, and other jewelry, calligraphy, paintings, and antiques were all exchanged for silver and grain, and secretly escorted there."

"yes!"

The maid still couldn't help but ask: "Miss, why is the expense of staying for three years?"

Ye Jinlian smiled sweetly and enigmatically: "Because, three years later, he will come back!"

The maid was a little pessimistic: "Miss, the Sirius army has entered Huangzhou. Everyone in the world says that the king of Huangzhou is doomed this time... Why are you doing this?"

Ye Jinlian looked into the void and said, "You have never seen him!"

"If you have seen him, you will know that as long as he doesn't want to die, no one in this world can let him die!"

"He is the most magnificent man in the world that I have ever seen, miss!"

The maid was helpless: "I'll go right away!"

at this time.

In the garden of Li Guogong Mansion.

Li Furong, the daughter of Li Jian, is entertaining a group of young ladies, all of whom are the daughters of important ministers in the imperial capital. They are also the girls who were rescued at Erlong Mountain that summer.

After these little girls experienced that incident, they grew up overnight!

Now that the prince has been deposed, they can finally get together openly!

A beautiful girl said with tears in her eyes: "Sister Li, now that the Sirius army has entered the wilderness, and we don't know whether our benefactor is alive or dead, what do you think we should do?"

Li Furong said seriously: "Now that the East Palace is short of a master, the princes will definitely fight openly and secretly, all wanting to take over the East Palace!"

"Your father is an important official in the imperial court, so he must be the focus of the princes' wooing."

"My father said, if possible, let your father support the benefactor secretly!"

"Everyone in the world says that my benefactor will die, but I, Li Furong, don't believe it!"

"We don't believe it either!"

All the girls stared with wide eyes and said bitterly: "Our benefactor will never die in the hands of the Sirius!"

"Let's go back now and look for our benefactor's father!"

Li Furong warned: "It's done quietly, not in a big way!"

"clear!"

"Okay, let's discuss it in detail, what should we do about this matter?"

The little heads of all the girls got together and started discussing how to help Xia Tian.

Where will the political situation of Daxia go?

No one knows?

at this time.

On the official road from the imperial capital to Huangzhou.

Li Jian gathered the troops from various states and slowly rushed towards Huangzhou.

Why slow?

Because the "ten thousand elite soldiers" sent by the various states are all old, weak, sick and disabled!

Daxia has been suppressed and beaten by the Sirius cavalry for twenty years, and he has long been afraid of the Sirius cavalry. Sending people to Huangzhou is no different from sending them to death.

Therefore, everyone who comes is a make-up.

Li Jian felt deeply helpless.

at this time.

He was considering whether to lead his 10,000 Northern Army elite cavalry into the wilderness first?

He was a little afraid that Huangzhou would be pushed aside by Princess Tianlang!

"Da da da..."

The messenger from Huangzhou marched into the army: "The army from Huangzhou reported that we are urgent for eight hundred miles. We are ordered by the king of Huangzhou to meet with Marshal Li!"

Li Jian was overjoyed: "Please come in quickly!"

Soon after.

The messenger from the barren state returns to the barren state!

Li Jian doesn’t panic anymore!

Along the way, they continued to receive the old, weak, sick and disabled, and slowly headed towards Huangzhou.

Next to Li Jian's army.

Spies from all walks of life followed closely.

The Tianlang spies sent back news: Daxia's army to rescue Huangzhou were all old, weak, sick and disabled. They marched very slowly. It seemed that they had no intention of saving Huangzhou. As long as the princess fought quickly in Huangzhou, Daxia's imperial army would turn back.

.

at this time.

Within the territory of Huangzhou, the Yinshan Passage.

"Boom boom boom..."

The Sirius army is still "spouting" out.

Huyan Duo'er stood on the shaft of the car, her silver hair fluttering, her beautiful eyes looking in the direction of Huangzhou City, high-spirited and dazzlingly beautiful, and shouted loudly: "King of Huangzhou, I, Huyan Duo'er, am here!"

"Aren't you going to catch me as your maid?

"Then use your skills to conquer this princess!"

"Otherwise, you will be my princess' pony slave!"

"This princess is riding you, and you can do whatever you want!"

nearby.

The boy hiding the sword in the dark is extremely angry!

This Sirius Princess is so crazy!

He will immediately pass Princess Sirius’s provocation back!

at this time.

Xia Tian also led the cavalry to various preset battlefields.
Chapter completed!
