Dajing Sun and Moon

Chapter 3 It's You!

At the time of Haishi, Taikang was lifeless, and the wind was howling, like a group of demons dancing wildly.

In the middle of the night, a person came to the Demon Prison.

Not Prince Gong, nor Chen Gong, nor Concubine Xiao.

It's an unexpected but reasonable person.

Xia Houli, deputy head of the Tianqiong Pavilion!
The younger brother of Emperor Jing and the uncle of Xia Houchun.

This prince is not like Emperor Jing, his appearance, temperament and personality are all different.

It is rumored that Xia Houli had Su Hui when he was young, and he was very talented in Taoism, with a chest full of hills and valleys. He had the heart to seize the heir in his early years, but he was suppressed by Emperor Jing and never raised his head for 20 years.

In addition, Emperor Jing was more than ten years old, almost the same age as Xia Houchun, and his elder brother was his father, and he was regarded as his closest son, so he was forgiven by Emperor Jing for his repeated violations.

Xia Houli looks respectful and frugal, but in fact he is cunning. The so-called appearance comes from the heart, and his appearance is quite sinister, with eagle hooks and jackal shoulders, and a tiger-backed waist, just like a warrior.

He stood there indifferently, looked at Xiahou Chun coldly for a long time, and then said slowly: "When is the prince ready to go on the road?"

Xia Houchun turned around, with complicated eyes, and said softly, "So it was you."

I saw this man wearing an eight-claw python robe. Although he was not crowned king, he was in charge of the Tianqiong Pavilion for Emperor Jing, who suppressed monks. When the honorary pavilion master Jingdi didn't care about things, the deputy pavilion master was actually in charge. Therefore, he was secretly called the "Shadow Emperor" by Xiufan and the two Taoists.

Its power is in the entire Yasukuni, second only to Emperor Jing.

Xia Houli shook his head and said with a smile: "You misunderstood, I was just laying hands on it."

Xia Houchun's pupils shrank, and his heart shrank. It didn't take such a huge force to bring down a prince, so what was the opponent's real purpose?
He suddenly had heart palpitations, and his face suddenly became gloomy: "You really want to usurp power!"

Seeing that Xia Houchun had come to his senses, Xia Houli laughed and said, "The emperor takes turns to sit, and he came to my house this year. Your Uncle Yao still has to sit on this chair after all."

Then he looked at Xia Houchun jokingly, and asked, "My dear nephew, do you want to die standing up or lying down?"

Xia Houchun glanced at the prison door calmly, and said sarcastically, "Is there any difference?"

Xia Houli's smile faded, and he said in a low voice, "If you die standing up, you will hit the wall and kill yourself; if you die lying down, you will be given a glass of wine?"

Xia Houchun clapped his palms and praised, then sneered and said: "What a shameful person to commit suicide in fear of crime, and the water is not leaking."

Xia Houli frowned slightly, could this kid have anything else to rely on?

He thought for a while, now that Prime Minister Chen has lost his position, the emperor's brother is sick in bed, and the rest of the prime ministers are watching from the sidelines, who dares to dip into this muddy water?
In this way, this child will undoubtedly die.

However, Xia Houchun's face was completely devoid of defeat, he looked at Xia Houli as if he was looking at a dead person, and said hesitantly: "Uncle, you think your plan is secret and no one knows about it, but in fact it has already been full of mistakes and omissions, it's a pity that the mechanism has been exhausted." , In the end it was really nothing, poor, poor."

As soon as the words fell, a male duck called: "Your Majesty is here!"

Xia Houli froze, then suddenly turned around, subconsciously shouted: "Isn't he dying?"

"Who said I'm going to die?" Before I saw him, I heard his voice first, and suddenly there was a deep voice rolling over.

Xia Houli couldn't believe it, and muttered to himself: "Cultivation is useless, life is dying, what is it if you are not going to die?"

The sound of footsteps was getting closer, and a bearded middle-aged man in a dragon robe came steadily. Looking at the lost Xia Houli, a trace of disappointment flashed in his majestic eyes, and he immediately set his eyes on Xia Houchun.

The father and son stared at each other for a long time.

A ruthless and indifferent voice sounded slowly: "Why plot against?"

Xia Houchun frowned, and stared straight at the Emperor Jingguo: "Doesn't the father believe in my ministers?"

Emperor Jing said expressionlessly: "I only believe what I see with my own eyes."

Xia Houchun let out a soft snort, how could Emperor Jing believe what his eyes and ears heard, but the reason why he said this was due to his inner suspicion and suspicion.

This is a common problem of all rulers since ancient times, and there is no solution at all.

Xia Houchun quietly said: "Father, if you really know the truth, you can find out the truth with a little investigation."

Emperor Jing narrowed his eyes and suddenly asked, "Where were you when I was dying?"

Xia Houchun lowered his eyes and lowered his eyebrows. After a moment of silence, he sighed secretly and replied softly, "East Palace."

"Why do you want to capture the imperial concubine's palace ban just after hearing about the imperial concubine's conspiracy?" Emperor Jing asked forcefully.

Xia Houchun was silent for a moment, and then replied: "How can the Xiahou family's Guozuo fall into the hands of outsiders?"

Emperor Jing was furious immediately: "You still said that you have no intention of rebelling, and committing rebellion is a serious crime to kill the nine clans!"

At this moment, Xia Houchun understood the root cause of the matter, and looked up at Emperor Jing directly: "If the emperor had never favored Concubine Xiao exclusively and appointed traitors, why did the Jingguo court be so troubled?"

He sneered: "Besides, you just said that treason is a felony that all nine clans will be beheaded. Father, shouldn't you also stand ready to be killed?"

"Presumptuous!!" Emperor Jing immediately changed his color and roared in anger.

When the two confronted each other, there was a click, breaking the smokeless war, and the father and son immediately glared at them.

Xia Houli smiled embarrassingly, and was about to leave.

Emperor Jing tilted his head and glanced at his younger brother, "How many times?"

Xia Houli, who was flaunting his might just now, has gone and never returned, trembling half-truthfully: "Brother Huang, it's been three times."

Emperor Jing said faintly: "Three times you have conspired against me, and they all said that there are only three things. How do you ask me to deal with you properly?"

The hulking Xia Houli bent his body into a bow, trembling inexplicably, as if the fear and shadows of the past came again, and said in a shy voice: "It's all according to the emperor's will."

Emperor Jing turned around, patted Xia Houli on the cheek, and said softly: "It would be a pity if this good head was beheaded."

Xia Houli fell to his knees and said ecstatically, "Thank you for not killing me, Brother Huang."

Emperor Jing waved his hand: "Then go to the southwest to suppress the barbarians."

Xia Houli let out an ah, dumbfounded.

Immediately, he left dejectedly.

After he left, Emperor Jing's expression softened immediately, and he waved his hands, "Go down."

The eunuchs respectfully withdrew.

After everyone left, Emperor Jing's expression softened, and he asked in a gentle voice, "How is my son? Is he injured?"

Xia Houchun was stunned, didn't this person come to Xingshi to inquire about the crime?

His mind was running fast, that's right, Tiger Poison doesn't eat children, it seems that this cheap old man didn't intend to kill him.

He also heaved a sigh of relief, sat down limply, and snorted coldly: "If you come one step later, your prince will really be beheaded."

"How could it be, everything is under your father's control!" Emperor Jing's face froze, with guilt on his face, and said in a warm voice.

Xia Houchun, however, was a little terrified, and secretly thought that it was too dangerous. He thought that his own golden finger was a god-defying ability to reason and solve cases, and no matter how bad it was, it was also a powerful network and means.

Unexpectedly, there is an awesome father.

Although I don't want to have a son who falls from the sky, I still don't reject a father who falls from the sky. Well, Chinese sons and daughters are so filial.

He glanced at the direction where Xia Houli was leaving, frowned and said: "Why don't you kill him, you are not like a soft-hearted person."

Emperor Jing rolled his eyes angrily, "How do you talk?"

He paused, and said slowly: "Even you know how to cast a long line to catch big fish, how can you not know it as a father? It's just to let him live for a while."

Xia Houchun opened his mouth. In fact, he wanted to say that raising tigers would cause endless troubles, but the words came to his mouth: "What is the decree to depose the prince? You really made it?"

Emperor Jing hesitated when he heard the words, a trace of embarrassment flashed across his face, he waved his hands again and again, and explained: "How can it be, it was your Aunt Xiao who made the decision without authorization and secretly took it to stamp."

Seeing that Xia Houchun seemed displeased, Emperor Jing immediately said: "But don't worry, the father has already withdrawn the decree, and the decree has not been issued to the central government, let alone the prefectures, so no one knows about it."

Xia Houchun secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and said angrily: "I really thought you were going to abolish me."

Emperor Jing smiled, seeing that Xia Houchun's face was once again unkind, he immediately swore: "How is it possible, even if father abdicates to let you be a virtuous person, he will not really abolish you."

Xia Houchun's heart moved, he knew that Emperor Jing had a deep relationship with Empress Jing who had passed away, and they had been together for 20 years, so naturally they were not comparable to the one in Wanning Palace.

As for the princes born to the other concubines, they also bear the name of a prince, in name only, and are not to be favored.

The original Xia Houchun was not only born to the empress, but also the eldest son of Dongjing Genzheng Miaohong. He has inherited the crown prince for many years, and his reputation is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, so he is not easy to be deposed.

Of course, after this "rebellion" incident, the prince's reputation may drop a lot.

Moreover, the death of the original prince was not as simple as it appeared on the surface.

Xia Houchun narrowed his eyes slightly, and suddenly called out:
"Father!"

Emperor Jing said kindly, "Father is here."

Xia Houchun sincerely persuaded: "Concubine Xiao's ambition is clearly revealed. If this hidden danger is not eradicated, it may affect the foundation of my Dajing. Moreover, her brother Xiao Yuan is in control of Zhongshu and has power in the government. If the two really usurp the throne and seek rebellion in the future , what should my Xiahou family do? I have to guard against it!"

Emperor Jing hesitated, hesitantly said: "This, is it so serious?"

Xia Houchun's face was heavy, and he said solemnly: "I don't know the father, but I heard that Concubine Xiao used the holy will to summon Prime Minister Xiao into the ban many times in order to try to do something wrong; and Xiao Yuan was staying in the prime minister for a long time. The party and the generals were in chaos, making the government and the public tremble, and all officials terrified.

In addition, his cronies are spread all over the military and military, and his party feathers are deeply rooted inside and outside. Once there is a rebellion, my Xiahou will definitely have the worry of destroying the country and destroying the family. "

Emperor Jing's face changed: "The Xiao thief is so bold to do this? I will go and investigate right away! Take him down and other rebels!"

Xia Houchun waved his hand: "Father, don't worry, you just sit in the center, and there are children who will straighten out the government and clean up the world for you."

After he coughed lightly, he said earnestly: "Please give me the Shangfang sword, and I will eliminate thieves for the country and help you relieve your worries!"

Unexpectedly, Emperor Jing was furious: "You are still wicked!"

After speaking, he tossed his sleeves and left with anger.

On the contrary, Xia Houchun's face froze, and then a thought suddenly flashed in his mind: Is this old guy still unwilling to delegate power?
Too much paranoia.

Xia Houchun secretly sighed, it seems that although Emperor Jing has means and ambitions, he is still not cruel enough after all.

However, Emperor Jing's soft heart does not mean that the femme fatale is merciful. This "emperor benevolent" does not know that his kindness has already killed the prince, and thinks it is just an ordinary dispute in the inner court.

But no matter what, although Concubine Xiao was staring at her, Emperor Jing was still looking towards her after all.

He thought to himself, it seems that the first step after escaping from death is to get rid of the demon concubine!

If she didn't die, he would have trouble sleeping and eating.

Three days later, the imperial decree arrived at Zhenmo Prison: Xia Houli, the former owner of the Tianqiong Pavilion, was demoted to be King of Luling, seized his position, and moved to the southwest.

The prince Xia Houchun behaved improperly, and he was banned from the East Palace for three months, and he was not allowed to interfere with the government.

As for the message of deposing the prince, it disappeared without a trace.

It seems that although Emperor Jing didn't want to kill the person next to him, he didn't intend to abolish the prince either.

Oh, it's a pity that He Xini can't eradicate the conflicts, but will indulge them and make them even more rampant.
