Yao Wenxin, who was lying next to him, was still asleep.
The sunlight passed through the gauze and fell on her charming cheeks, making her look particularly beautiful.
Liu Xia leaned over and kissed Yao Wenxin gently on the cheek, then stood up and started to change clothes.
Ming Rong is the ruthless son who has a decisive battle with Nangong Tianqi.
In this battle, Nangong Tianqi will definitely go all out because this is the only chance to kill Liu Xia.
Come on, once Liu Xia ascends the throne, he will naturally have to deal with the Nangong family first.
Liu Xia knew in his heart the danger of this battle.
Today, as the crown prince, Liu Xia will go to the palace to meet the saint for the first time.[
The details of the canonization ceremony will then be discussed.
In the afternoon, I will meet with the head of the Song family, the head of the Zhang family, Prince Rui and others.
As the prince, Liu Xia naturally has his own power.
Basically, today's itinerary has been fully arranged.
After setting off from the palace, Longdu had just woken up.
When we arrived at the gate of Zhengyangmen, many officials had already arrived in advance.
When they saw Liu Xia's carriage approaching, they immediately came in large numbers.
Flattery, flattery.
However, Liu Xia has experienced many vicissitudes of life and has long been accustomed to these people.
Chatted with everyone for a while.
Among the crowd, Liu Xia looked up and saw the second prince.
Today, the second prince's expression is extremely complicated.
Although there was a smile on his face, it was uglier than crying.
I thought that he was the only one to be the crown prince, but it turned out to be a dream. The ups and downs were so fast. Even though the second prince was very well-educated, his face was a bit unbearable.
However, Liu Xia has become the crown prince today. As a prince, how can he turn a blind eye? [
"Prince Weichen Yong, please see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
At that moment, when the second prince was about to kneel down and salute, Liu Xia supported him and said with a smile: "You're welcome, second brother."
Among the princes, Liu Xia is younger than the third prince, and is now considered the fourth eldest.
"Your Highness, you are welcome."
The second prince smiled modestly.
"My lords, my second brother and I have something to say, and I ask for your convenience."
Liu Xia smiled lightly.
The ministers around him immediately understood and walked away.
Liu Xia pulled the sleeves of the second prince, walked to the side of the carriage, and said with a slight smile: "I guess the second prince must not have had any rest last night."
"Your Highness is relieved, I slept peacefully."
The second prince smiled slightly, his tone neither humble nor arrogant, even a bit provocative.
"Haha, then I won't talk in circles. I know you are unwilling to accept it. I am afraid you don't know what the Nangong family and the Murong family want from me. But there is one thing I want to talk about."
"Oh? Why can't I understand what His Highness is saying?"
The second prince pretended to smile.
"Haha, why not. Last night I heard from my staff that among the team that assassinated the king, there were the bodies of your masters. I wonder if my second brother should give me an explanation?"
Liu Xia smiled disdainfully.
The second prince was stunned and said hurriedly: "Your Highness, please listen to my explanation."
"Haha, no need. This matter has passed in my heart. I will not mention it again in the future. But there is one thing you must always remember. If I want to kill you, it will be easier than crushing an ant!
The reason why I keep you alive is because I don't want to kill them all. I hope you can take care of yourself."
Liu Xia smiled coldly.
The second prince's forehead was covered with cold sweat, and he hurriedly bowed his waist and said, "Thank you for your Highness's advice. Your Majesty will definitely follow His Majesty's lead."
"Very good, you are a smart man. In fact, there is nothing wrong with being the Prince of Anle."
After saying that, Liu Xia put her arms around the second prince's shoulders and walked towards Zhengyang Gate with a smile.
The adults who had been watching quietly secretly breathed a sigh of relief, fearing that Liu Xia would kill the second prince here today.
Ever since Liu Xia beat the prince into a cripple, everyone gradually realized that Liu Xia, who seemed young and inexperienced in the world, could always solve the most complex problems with the simplest and most brutal methods.
It looks messy, but it's a fatal blow.
Only then did these adults realize clearly that everyone had been deceived by his slightly immature face.
Moreover, after Liu Xia took care of the prince, they also understood one thing from the emperor's attitude towards this matter. Liu Xia's understanding of the emperor's thoughts was really to the extreme.
The reason why he dared to take action was that he believed that the emperor already wanted to depose the prince.
As a result, after taking care of the prince, the emperor really reduced this huge matter to a trivial matter.
Liu Xia not only was not punished, but on the contrary, he became the crown prince.
It can be seen that this young prince is not only amazing in terms of cultivation, but also very thoughtful and vicious.
After all, we really can’t underestimate him anymore.
Then, the morning session began.
Liu Xiajin walked at the forefront of the civil and military officials and entered the golden palace.
Afterwards, the emperor comforted him, and then discussed with the ministers about the date of the canonization ceremony.
Finally, the emperor decided to hold a canonization ceremony on the first day of the new year, after offering sacrifices to heaven, and announcing it to the world.
"Your Majesty, I have something to report."
At this time, Song Tianyou, the head of the Song family, suddenly came out.
"Oh? Song Aiqing, what's the matter?"
The emperor asked calmly.
"Your Majesty, His Highness is about to ascend the throne, but he has to fight Nangong Tianqi tomorrow morning. Wei Chen thinks that now His Highness is a rich man and the hope of the country. He must not take risks anymore. Wei Chen thinks that it is better to cancel it.
"
Song Tianyou hurriedly cupped his fists and said.
Everyone nodded when they heard this.
Everyone knows in their hearts that Liu Xia's son-in-law almost killed Liu Xia. According to Liu Xia's usual style, if he ascends the throne in the future, there is a chance that he will take care of the Nangong family.
Naturally, the Nangong family knows this very well.
This time the Nangong family sided with the prince and failed in the struggle. I am afraid that they will be in a downturn during the entire reign of Liu Xia's successor. If not, it is very likely that Liu Xia will disintegrate.
When life and death are at stake, the Ming Dynasty must give it a go.
Liu Xia was afraid that he would also face a fierce battle.
"Well, Song Aiqing's suggestion does make some sense. Haoxuan, what do you think?"
The emperor looked down at Liu Xiadao.
"Father, your Majesty is personally presiding over this decisive battle. It is said that you are joking. My son and I must go all out."
Liu Xia said calmly.
The emperor frowned slightly, nodded and said: "Okay, I am ambitious. How can I go back on your so-called joke? Tomorrow, I will come to the scene to supervise the battle. This time, I will let everyone in the world see, my Duan family
, it’s not the original Duan family!”
The emperor said everything, so everyone had no choice but to give up.
He immediately knelt down and said, "Your Majesty is wise."
After the dynasty was over, Liu Xia went to see the Queen Mother, and then went to see several concubines in the harem, this time heading towards the palace.
As soon as he arrived at the gate of Zhengyang Gate, Song Tianyou stopped Liu Xia and said: "You can take advantage of the opportunity to cancel this decisive battle today, why do you have to face the difficulties?"
"Haha, the Nangong family is still evil. If I cancel, they will intensify their efforts. Since there is a fight, let's open up the fight. Thank you Mr. Song for speaking out. However, I already know it in my heart."
Liu Xia smiled.
"Well, it turns out that it is. Then I will go to watch the battle in person tomorrow. I wish your highness a successful victory."
Song Tianyou smiled.
"Master Song, please stay."
Seeing Song Tianyou about to leave, Liu Xia hurriedly stopped him and said.
"Any other instructions, Your Highness?"
Song Tianyou asked curiously.
"Master Song, I, I want to know what kind of person my mother is."
Liu Xia hesitated for a moment, then suddenly asked.
When Song Tianyou heard this, he sighed and said: "Since Your Highness wants to know, then follow me."
Having said this, Song Tianyou invited Liu Xia to get on his carriage.
The Song family is one of the top ten aristocratic families, so naturally they have their mansion in the royal city.
After arriving at the Song Mansion, Song Tianyou took Liu Xia into the study.
Afterwards, after searching for a long time in the files in the study, he found a yellowed scroll and said, "This is Empress Hui Fei."
Liu Xia opened the scroll. On the scroll, there was a charming girl, wearing a goose-yellow palace robe, with bright eyes and white teeth, elegant and graceful.
"This is my mother?"
Liu Xia asked in a daze.
"Yes, Concubine Hui is my sister, the third in the family. We all call her third sister. Her maiden name is **. When she was seventeen years old, the Empress Dowager was unwell, so she entered the palace to serve her.
Queen Mother, from now on we will marry your father and Prince Wei. Originally, the Queen Mother’s intention was to marry this woman
Allotted to Prince Wei. As a result, for some unknown reason, yn entered Prince Yong's palace by mistake and became His Majesty's concubine. I am in Wuzhou and dare not break up the grievances between them. About twenty years ago, His Majesty Xixi
I took my sister to the northwest for inspection. Not long afterward, news came that she had passed away. Alas."
After saying this, Song Tianyou sighed softly.
When Liu Xia heard this, he knelt on the ground and said, "My dear, I'm going to meet my uncle."
Song Tianyou hurriedly supported him and said: "Get up quickly. Although your Majesty has appointed you as the crown prince, he has not mentioned anything about Concubine Hui. I believe that there must be a grudge between him and Prince Wei. You must not let it go in the future.
People see you seeing me like this. Now you are no longer the prince. You should pay attention to everything."
Liu Xia nodded silently.
"Now, I can also tell you some things. You have the blood of my Song family, and my Song family will naturally support you in ascending to the great treasure. However, when you are in good ways, there will be many helpers, but when you are in bad ways, there will be few. From the bottom of my heart, I still don't want to be with Huangpu.
The family and the Nangong family have forged a blood feud. The ten major families are like ten pillars. If any one of them is missing, your foundation will be unstable. This world is a profound knowledge. "
Song Tianyou said with seriousness and sincerity.
"Uncle, don't worry. Today, I actually have another important thing to tell you."
Liu Xia put the scroll away and kicked it into his arms.
"oh?"
Song Tianyou frowned and immediately looked around and said, "Go into the secret room and talk."
Immediately, Song Tianyou realized that it was a lie that Liu Xia came to him to ask about her mother, and that she was afraid that there was another secret.
After entering the secret room, Song Tianyou asked: "What are your orders from His Highness?"
"Uncle, the thing is like this. Although the Zhang family supports me as the prince this time, it is definitely not as firm as our Song family. Because the second prince is a member of the Zhang family. Although the prince was deposed this time, I know that he
I will definitely not give in. Therefore, the second prince and the prince will definitely attack me crazily. Tomorrow will be my last battle with the second prince and the prince."
Liu Xia smiled lightly.
When Song Tianyou heard this, he was stunned and said: "What!"
