Chapter 538 Are You Better Than The Heavenly King? !

Two days later, an imperial decree shocked the ruling and opposition parties.

Duan Wang Xiahou held the title of self-restraint and devoted himself to public service, with outstanding achievements. He specially gave Wenchang Yin the governor's scientific examination, and entered Mingde Hall to handle government affairs.

It was not surprising to the Ministry of Officials and the Minister of Rites who had known for a long time that Xia Houlian would assist in the scientific examination, but they were really shocked by the fact that King Duan would later enter the Mingde Palace to handle government affairs.

Mingde Hall is the closest palace to the East Palace, and it is also very close to Mingyang Hall where the emperor usually handles government affairs.

This shows what?
Although the emperor didn't set up a heir, now it seems that he raised Duan Wang as a heir.

Lu Jingyuan, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and Chu Nian, the censor of Zuodu, couldn't help being proud of their foresight.

It's not that no one has shown goodwill to Xia Houlian before, but it's the first time that their two sons have shown their prince's appetite so much.

The other officials in the court who were doubly shocked thought to themselves that they hadn't dared to move before, but now although the emperor didn't expressly express it, he had already given Prince Duan part of the honor equivalent to that of a prince.

Then they are stupid if they don't act.

The princes have their own thoughts, except for Xiahouyu and Xiahouqi, and of course Xiahouyu who has a good relationship with Xiahou, the others are envious and jealous.

Xia Houyu was determined that the emperor would still act like this after receiving the paper of impeachment of Xia Houxuan, and he would not believe it if it was said that it was an honor and favor for Xiahouxuan.

It's just the emperor's scheming, if Xiahou title doesn't know how to restrain himself...

Oh, the higher you climb, the harder you fall.

Xia Houqi doesn't care at all, whoever he loves, rushing to grab such a troublesome matter, isn't it sick?

Xia Houzan sat on the dragon chair, and he had a panoramic view of the expressions of everyone below.

There was nothing to announce that he would go to court, but Xia Houqi was left behind.

This made everyone confused, including Xiahou Qi, if he wanted to stay, he should also keep Xiahou's title. Why did you keep King Rui?

Xia Houqi was even more depressed. He also invited his friends to play in the garden, drink fine wine, and fight crickets, so why did he stay with him.

He...hasn't done anything wrong recently, has he?
Xiahou raised his lips slightly, and looked at Zuodu Yushi Chunian, who met his eyes and nodded slightly.

I hope Xia Houqi can hold on, Xiahouxian thought gloatingly, and then retreated with the crowd, Xiahouqi followed Xiahouzan to Mingyang Hall.

Along the way, Xia Houqi lowered his head and turned around quickly. He kept making minor misfortunes, but never major misfortunes. There is no reason for the emperor to leave him alone?

The key point is that the father's expression is not good, probably not to reward him or something good, but...

Xia Houqi suddenly thought of something, and blinked his eyes, probably that was worth the trouble he had to go through, right?
In Mingyang Palace, Xia Houqi was kneeling on the ground, Xia Houzan threw a booklet down from above, "Explain to me!"

The voice is stern, and the face is serious.

Xia Houqi stretched out his hand to open the booklet and looked at it. What was said in the booklet was exactly what he thought.

After browsing, Xia Houyu scratched his head, "Father, there is a white character here."

After finishing speaking, he handed it forward, which meant 'take a look'.

Xia Houzan blew his beard and stared angrily, his sons never stopped, one of them was one thing or another, and now they are still checking the white letters for him?
Did I ask him to come over by myself, did I ask him to find the wrong person? !
"Are you good at it?" Xia Houzan was obviously confused, "You stabbed someone to death without making way for you? Are you stronger than the Heavenly King?!"

Xia Houzan slapped the table hard, the teacup on the table jumped, and Zhou Quande's heart jumped too.

This place is no different from the Imperial Study Room, the table is filled with the most important booklets, if the tea in the teacup spills out, the booklets will not be read.

"That can't be, the heavenly king and I are you, and the minister is a boy." Xia Houqi shrank his neck and uttered a word.

Xia Houzan was amused by him, out of his seven sons, this was the youngest and the most out of tune.

There was nothing normal at all times, misfortunes continued to happen, but they were all small troubles, and he just turned a blind eye and passed them by.

But now that he was killed, he couldn't ignore it. How big is this? If a prince is a murderer, it is much more serious than ordinary murderers.

Besides, the emperor broke the law and committed the same crime as the common people, that's just talking, who really dares to control it?

Now that I am here, I can take care of him for a while, but if any of his older brothers succeed to the throne in the future, and his biological mother has such an identity, it is quite fearful, and he may not be able to find a reason to deal with him anytime soon.

Xia Houzan never thought of passing the throne to his youngest son, because he is really not that kind of material, and he can see that he has no idea about the throne, and only wants to give him a rich and rich fief, so that he can live without worry .

On this point, it is highly compatible with Xia Houqi's thinking.

Seeing that Xia Houzan was about to get angry again, Xia Houqi hurriedly stretched his hands forward and pressed down, "Father, calm down, calm down, you have to let the minister speak, right?"

"You haven't said enough?" Xia Houzan continued to stare.

"Isn't this getting to the point?" Xia Houqi sat down on his own feet, "Do you still have the next book?"

As he said that, Xia Houqi shook the notebook in his hand, and asked if there was anything else to say.

"What's the next book?" Xia Houzan frowned. He had never heard of anyone who submitted the booklet and divided the book into the next book. "Kneel down!"

Day by day, what it looks like.

Xia Houqi wrinkled his nose, and knelt down obediently, "Father, this is something wrong with Master Chu. We have to tell the cause and effect of the matter. I will not kill people for no reason."

"Didn't it block your sedan chair?" Xia Houzan's tone eased.

In fact, he didn't believe that his youngest son would be like this, so he called him to ask.

"You don't know Erchen yet?" Xia Houqi waved his hand, "Blocking the sedan chair, Erchen will at most send someone to beat him up. Is it better to keep him from getting out of bed for three months than to kill him with a sword? See Erchen later. You have to be afraid, and you will be killed at every turn, too high to be on the stage, which is not in line with the temperament of my son."

In the end, Xia Houqi was still arrogant.

"Speak, fart!" Xia Houzan was completely disregarded by him, Zhou Quande listened hard, wanting to laugh but not daring to laugh, his whole body was shaking and shaking.

"Do you know who the son stabbed to death with his sword?" Xia Houqi suddenly became serious.

Xia Houzan was taken aback, "Who?"

"The Metropolitan Procuratorate is Huo Qiguang's nephew, Huo Yantao."

"Nonsense, should you say it?" Xia Houzan started to stare again, it was clearly written in the notebook, and he really thought he could say something.

"Don't worry, what I want to talk about is Huo Yantao." Xia Houqi can be as serious as he wants, "Huo Qiguang is from Jiangzhou, and now he is a courtier, and he is in charge of the supervisor, but you know his nephew is here. Is Jiangzhou doing something under his banner?"

"what?"

"In a nutshell," Xia Houqi stretched out a finger, "Snatching girls and bullying girls."
