The road of the farmer's fortune and the imperial examination

Chapter 823 Who doesn't want to be the master of the world?
"Return to Your Highness! This matter is absolutely true. Those left behind in the Hejian Mansion have found out that the Eldest Prince went to Hejian Mansion because of the treasure map." The man in black replied respectfully.

The third prince only felt that his heart was burning with raging fire, but he didn't expect the truth to be because of this.

He didn't pay much attention to the Miemen case at the beginning, he just wanted to make it sick to his elder brother!

Unexpectedly, the eldest brother was called to be the first to go, and the deployment started one step earlier.It's also my fault that he didn't take the Miemen case to heart at the time. If he had searched with his heart, he would surely have found the treasure map.

Otherwise, where would it be these people's turn to reach out?The treasure map might have fallen into his hands long ago, the third prince really regretted it.

Fortunately, the treasure map has not yet fallen into the hands of the eldest brother, otherwise his intestines will be regretful.

"You send people to watch the First Prince's people, and do everything you can to prevent them from succeeding, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous."

The third prince clenched his hands into fists, and a look of hostility flashed across his eyes.

"The treasure map cannot be lost. If there is no other way, even if the treasure map is destroyed, it must not fall into the hands of other princes."

"Yes, Your Highness!" The man in black led the order out of the study, leaving the anxious Third Prince restless.

"Mr. He, what do you think of this treasure map?" Xia Qing looked at He Zhongkuan, the staff member sitting at the bottom, and asked expectantly.

"The villain just dare to say something!" He Zhongkuan cupped his hands and replied respectfully.

"Mr. He, please speak!" Xia Qing made a gesture, pretending to be listening attentively.

"My lord should not intervene in this matter, otherwise there will be endless troubles!" He Zhongkuan only said one sentence, and then picked up the tea bowl.

"Oh? Please ask Mr. He to explain in detail, so as to clear up our doubts." Xia Qing squinted his eyes, feeling very puzzled by He Zhongkuan's resolute opposition.

All the people in the room sneered in their hearts. Since He Zhongkuan offered a good plan for the adults last time, the adults are now paying more and more attention to this person.

Not to mention that He Zhongkuan was involved in everything, but he was also asked for his opinion on everything, making them a display.

"There are a lot of people involved this time. The four princes already know the treasure map, and some princes can't hold back their hands. Even if the other princes are watching, they are just trying to reap the benefits. My lord If you want to be an oriole, the villain probably won't be able to do it."

"But it is even more impossible to rob it blatantly. As long as they move their hands, they can guess that it is you. If the court has the ability to compete with the princes, who else can do it except you, my lord?"

After hearing He Zhongkuan's words, Xia Qing couldn't help but feel secretly proud.

After a few words of flattery, He Zhongkuan went on to say: "Princes intervene, although the emperor is furious, but they are princes after all, and there will definitely be punishment. But apart from punishment, can the emperor depose all the princes because of this matter?" Is it done?"

He Zhongkuan's words made Xia Qing nod his head, and even the others present had to admit that his words made sense.

"You are just a courtier, but you have meddled in the treasure map, what will the emperor think? Will he think that you want to recruit soldiers? You know the emperor's temper. If the emperor becomes suspicious like this, you can still act like you are now." Is it that safe?"

In fact, He Zhongkuan said this very politely, and everyone present understands what he means.

To put it bluntly, it is unstable, but to put it bluntly, Xia Qing will end up like the Xue family back then.

How can you allow others to snore on the side of the couch?An emperor is an emperor after all, as long as you have the slightest sign of disobedience, the emperor will have ways to make you die without a place to bury you.

"Then what do you mean we don't interfere in this matter and let those princes make trouble?"

Xia Qing's tone was full of unwillingness, and his old eyes shone with greed.

This is Wang Mang's treasure map. If he can get the treasure map, wouldn't the princes want to curry favor with him and beg him for support?

He is Xia Shoufu who has power in the government and the public. If he has power in his hands, if he has more money, those princes will definitely flock to him.

Besides, if he really had both, he wouldn't be able to think about that seat!

Thinking of this, Xia Qing's heart became hot.

He Zhongkuan glanced at Xia Qing, and when he saw the vigorous desire in Xia Qing's eyes, his heart sank.

"My lord! This time the emperor has sent Ma Zhihong, Zuo Shaoqing of Dali Temple, to thoroughly investigate the assassination case of the eldest prince. You also know that Ma Zhihong is from the eldest prince's lineage. Suppress it. But don't forget, the emperor is used to making double-handed preparations, and he may have already sent imperial envoys to investigate the case secretly."

He Zhongkuan said casually, but the tea bowl between his hands was slightly white.

Xia Qing was startled by He Zhongkuan's words, and his body and mind, which was originally immersed in desire, was poured a lot of cold water.

yes!He forgot, the emperor is suspicious, how can he rest assured that he only sent Ma Zhihong?Maybe another person will be sent to investigate the case.

Originally, he wanted to take a risk, and it would be best if he could get the treasure map, and if he couldn't get it, he would destroy the treasure map completely.

As long as he is cautious, so what if those princes guessed it was him?What else could they do to him?
But it's different if the emperor knows about it, even if the emperor doesn't get the evidence, he can't prove it's him.But once the emperor becomes suspicious, he will definitely try to get rid of himself.

Xia Qing calmed down, thinking about the treasure, he couldn't help being unwilling.

If he had those treasures, he might not have to be trembling every day, walking on thin ice.How could he be willing to hand over the treasure to others?

"What Mr. He said is true, please think twice, sir!"

Li Wei, Minister of Taichang Temple, was afraid that Xia Qing would not be able to let go of the treasure map, and now he and Xia Qing were grasshoppers on the same rope.If something happened to Xia Qing, not only would he lose his future, but it would not even matter whether his family's life could be saved.

Li Wei has always acted cautiously. He felt that robbing the treasure map was too risky and he really couldn't do it.

When Zuo Tongzheng You Shaofeng saw Xia Qing was silent, he changed his mind, knowing that this was a good time for him to flatter him.

"What Master Li said is indeed reasonable, but it would be a pity to let it go."

Xia Qing's eyes moved slightly, and the way he looked at You Shaofeng rarely revealed a little approval.

"If those silver coins fell into the hands of the princes, wouldn't the world be in chaos? My lord is also thinking about the overall situation!"

The few people here couldn't help but feel extremely contemptuous, the world would be in chaos if the money was obtained by Xia Shoufu!

If you have power and money, how can you be less thoughtful?You might not be satisfied with the status quo.

To put it bluntly, who wouldn't want to be the lord of the world?If you have this ability, how can you not be tempted?
