Chapter 55 The emperor is suspicious(1/2)
at this time.
The old eunuch felt that Emperor Xia was a little pretentious to the ninth prince.
This is really abnormal!
The old eunuch knew very well that Emperor Xia had an intention of killing the ninth prince, and under the prince's arrangement, the ninth prince almost freezes to death in front of the imperial study room.
The emperor's murderous intention was once very firm.
But now.
It only took two days for Prince Li Jiu to be driven out of the imperial capital.
The emperor's murderous intent towards the ninth prince seemed to have weakened a lot!
What happened in the middle?
The old eunuch can't guess!
He felt a pain in his feet and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, you also know that Erlong Mountain is the stronghold of the prince outside the imperial capital. It not only raises bandits and robs and kills people, plunders and plunders property, but also allows the Eastern Palace dead soldiers to control behind the scenes, and there is a small treasury that supports the development of the Eastern Palace."
"So, for a long time, there have been a lot of food, gold, silver and treasures stored on Erlong Mountain."
"This time, after the Ninth Prince wiped out Erlong Mountain, the convoy of the Huangzhou Prince's Mansion added a hundred carriages, which were the things seized on the mountain!"
A glimmer flashed in Emperor Xia's eyes, and he silently planned: "The prince has been deliberately operating in that bandit village for ten years. The materials and money stored there should be no less than the reward of the prince I just sent out!"
"Xiao Jiu made a fortune this time!"
"However, according to the practice of the Daxia court, half of the captured bandits on the battlefield will be left as a reward for the army, and half of them must be handed over to the court."
"Did Xiaojiu not hand over a single copper plate?"
Jiuer becomes Xiaojiu again.
The old eunuch shook his head: "No!"
Emperor Xia was a little dissatisfied: "I was just praising him for being wise, brave, kind and polite. I didn't expect that he would be fascinated by seeing a little money. It disappointed me so much!"
The old eunuch was stunned!
What does the emperor mean?
He was disappointed that the ninth prince did not hand over the spoils of the bandit suppression?
What does he still have in his heart's expectations for the Ninth Prince?
This is not right!
Will people have expectations for the ones they must kill?
Of course not!
If so... I just hope he dies!
Emperor, what are the ideas about the ninth prince?
It doesn't seem as simple as destroying the bloodline of the royal family of the previous dynasty!
The old eunuch became even more alert!
When it comes to the matter of the Ninth Prince, don’t take sides, just observe and observe.
A glimmer flashed in the old eunuch's eyes and he hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, you are wrongly ignoring the Ninth Prince!"
"oh?"
Emperor Xia was stunned: "Old guy, don't breathe when you talk. If you have something to do, just finish it in one breath."
"yes!"
"Actually, the Ninth Prince did not take the capture of Erlong Mountain for himself!"
"He walked along the way, using the money and food seized from Erlong Mountain to help the poor people along the way, and saved countless people along the way."
Xia Di Hawk Eyes narrowed: "Is he trying to win people's hearts?"
"Do you want to learn from his brothers..."
Emperor Xia has not finished speaking.
However, a chill had already enveloped the entire Imperial Study.
The old eunuch was cold all over and said quickly: "Your Majesty has misunderstood!"
"I've misunderstood?"
"yes!"
"Didn't he want to privately buy the people's hearts when he does this? His heart is devastated!"
“Hahaha…”
The old eunuch tried to relieve the chills all over his body with a smile: "My Majesty!"
"When the Ninth Prince was helping the people along the way, they said that the money and food came from the court. His Majesty was worried about the world and ordered him to go all the way and save him all the way. His Majesty's grace was great and the court's grace."
"Your Majesty, seriously, the Ninth Prince is to help you and to promote the name of benevolence and virtue for you!"
"He is famous for his father and should be rewarded!"
"I think that from this matter, we can see that he admires His Majesty very much and respects the court."
"And, the most valuable thing is... every time I enter the village, the ninth prince will practice it. He put down the prince's figure and carried food to the household with his subordinates. He is not afraid of hard work, which is touching!"
That's all.
Emperor Xia couldn't help but feel moved: "This child carries food to save people?"
"yes!"
"Don't you pretend?"
"no!"
"Every time he enters the village, he is the same!"
A trace of doubt flashed in Emperor Xia's eyes: "What is he trying to do this?"
"Thinking of fame?"
"I gave my reputation to me and the court, but he didn't!"
"Taoli?"
"How profitable is he profitable if he dissipates the money and food he obtained from the bandit suppression?"
Emperor Xia couldn't figure it out!
"Old thing, what exactly did you think Jiuer was trying to do?"
“Hehehe…”
The old eunuch smiled and guided, "Your Majesty, even though the ninth prince dispersed all his money and food, he would not get fame and fortune!"
"However, he collected many orphans along the way into the royal palace of Huangzhou, and in various villages, he also collected many poor families into the royal palace of Huangzhou."
"These people will follow him all the way to Huangzhou to listen to it."
"As soon as the ninth prince was crowned the king, he hurried to the fiefdom. There were only a hundred wounded soldiers under his command, and no one was available, so it was really inconvenient."
"Now, he has gathered some people all the way, so there are some people under his command available!"
This reason left Emperor Xia no longer grudges in his heart, and he said seriously: "Jiu'er is not bad!"
The old eunuch smiled, very proud, but he was hidden deep in his eyes and could not be seen by outsiders.
At this time.
The old eunuch's eyes flashed and he said softly: "However, there are two guys who are not simple in their minds who have bad intentions in the process of delivering the ritual rack to the ninth prince."
Emperor Xia's eyes were filled with sharp light and he said sternly: "The reward for the prince's title of king is something that my son can only enjoy... Bring those two dogs up!"
If a dragon has reverse scales, the moving one dies.
Emperor Xia started his business by usurping the throne, and these things were most taboo.
"I want to see if these two dogs are blinded by money or are there anyone behind them?"
At this time.
"Plop..."
The golden armored guards carried Eunuch Gao and Hua Wujian into the house in large tie and threw them heavily on the ground: "Your Majesty, you have brought them."
Emperor Xia asked coldly: "Little Gaozi, you are so brave. You dare to join forces with Hua Wujian, a dog, to greedy for the reward of the King of the Wilderness of the Mo Huangzhou. He said, Who are you instructed?"
"Bang bang bang..."
Eunuch Gao kowtowed wildly, blood splattering: "Your Majesty, please spare me!"
"It's all Deputy Commander Hua who threatened me!"
Hua Wujian also kowtowed wildly: "Your Majesty, it was the crown prince who instructed me to do it. I was forced by the crown prince."
To be continued...
