Chapter 31 The Abandoned Young Master of the Marquisate 12

The eldest prince didn't know that his sixth brother thought of him like this in his heart. If he knew, he would definitely say "You can do it if you can!"

He always wanted others to charge in front and hide behind to pick up the leaks. How could such a good thing happen in the world?

Unfortunately, the eldest prince was very busy and didn't know that the sixth prince despised him. He discussed the matter of seizing the throne with his advisers every day, day and night, and he was too busy to do anything.

The situation in the capital became more and more tense. Several forces in the court secretly competed with each other and dug pits for each other. If you don't pay attention, you will fall into the abyss and never recover.

When the gods fight, the little ghosts suffer. Many small officials were trembling when they went to court, fearing that they would be implicated.

The emperor looked at the struggles of various factions in the court and turned a blind eye. Although he didn't want to admit it, he was old. If he wanted Daxia to continue to pass on, he had to choose the most suitable heir.

After so long, he also had a candidate in mind.

Among all his sons, the eldest, the sixth and the eighth are outstanding and are the best.

But although the eldest is the eldest son, he is cruel, narrow-minded, and self-willed. If he succeeds to the throne in the future, he will not be a wise monarch.

Although the sixth is meticulous and intelligent, he is used to using conspiracies and schemes, and lacks some of the noble spirit of a monarch.

Only the eighth is open-minded, brave, resourceful, and has great talents and strategies, and has the appearance of a wise monarch.

That day, the emperor sat in the imperial study for a long time and finally made up his mind to make a decision.

"Xiao Mingzi, pass on my oral order and summon the eighth prince to the palace."

"I obey the order." Xiao Mingzi replied respectfully and then withdrew.

The eighth prince was summoned to the palace. At this critical moment, people in the capital were extremely nervous and their hearts were floating.

Not long after, several old ministers loyal to the emperor were also summoned to the palace. When everyone saw this scene, they roughly guessed what was going on.

The eldest prince and the sixth prince had a bad premonition when they received the news, and they were restless.

That night, the eighth prince and several old ministers came back, and no news came out, but the more this happened, the more uneasy people became.

Everyone knew that the emperor would not summon the eighth prince and several old ministers to the palace at the same time for no reason. Such calm was just the calm before the storm.

Sure enough, the emperor announced something at the morning court the next day, and made the eighth prince the crown prince!

The ministers were shocked at first, then understood, and came to their senses and congratulated together.

When the other princes heard the news, they had already prepared themselves mentally, thinking that it would not be their turn anyway. Although their hearts were broken, they still looked friendly and respectful, without showing any trace.

Only the eldest prince and the sixth prince had stiff faces and looked ashen.

The eldest prince looked at the eighth prince who was being congratulated by everyone, and his heart was broken and his face was ashen.

At this moment, there was only one voice in his heart, it was over!

He used to oppose the Eighth Prince everywhere and trip him up. Now that the Eighth Prince is in power, what good life can he have?

The Sixth Prince and the First Prince thought similarly, and they were also extremely flustered.

Although he did not oppose the Eighth Prince as blatantly as his eldest brother, as an opponent, he would inevitably fight over some things, and his end would not be too good.

Imagine if he were in power, he would definitely not let his eldest brother and the Eighth Prince go, and now he is the loser.

Those officials who supported the First Prince and the Sixth Prince were also worried and wanted to cry but had no tears.

It's over! The consequences of standing on the wrong side are heavy. The crown prince will definitely settle this matter when he succeeds to the throne. Not only is he finished, but the future of the family is also over!

The Eighth Prince, oh no, he is now the crown prince. Xia Wenqing knelt down to accept the imperial edict that named him the crown prince and then stepped aside. When he saw the wonderful faces of the ministers, he also had mixed feelings in his heart.

Being in his position, you can't just stay out of the fight for the chair that symbolizes supreme power.

Xia Wenqing has been pushed to the direction of the chair since he was a child. He is the only one who has experienced all the difficulties and obstacles. Fortunately, he succeeded!

His father's health is getting worse and worse. Being named the crown prince is only one step away from that position. As long as nothing unexpected happens, he will be the next person in power.

The dust has settled in the capital. Some people are relieved, while others are extremely nervous.

The news that Xia Wenqing was named the crown prince was not known to the Huguogong Mansion until more than ten days later.

The capital is far away from Fengcheng, and this news was still in the letter sent by Xia Wenqing thousands of miles away.

The Huguogong Mansion was very happy to know this news, and Shi Qing was also very happy.

This news means that the capital will not touch the Huguogong Mansion for a period of time in the future, and his mission will not add any messy accidents.

After being in Fengcheng for such a long time, Shi Qing found that there were many frictions between Quguo and Daxia. It was extremely difficult for the two countries to coexist peacefully without Quguo attacking Daxia.

People from the same country would fight over interests, let alone people from two countries.

Daxia was rich in products, but Quguo had poor land and scarce supplies. Could Quguo remain indifferent to the fat meat in front of it?

Obviously, it couldn't!

Thinking of the soldiers from Quguo who came to test from time to time, Shi Qing suddenly realized.

It seemed that he was bound by the original owner's wishes and took it for granted.

Where there are interests, there are disputes. Brothers and sisters would have conflicts over some trivial matters, and even fight and become enemies.

What's more, what about the relationship between the two countries?

The occasional friction and war between Daxia and Quguo are inevitable. In this case, why not let Quguo become Daxia?

Daxia and Quguo are not the human race and the demon race in his original world. They cannot coexist, and the struggle and contradiction will never stop.

They are all human races. Daxia can take the initiative to attack and merge the two countries. In this way, Quguo will no longer exist, and Daxia will not be threatened, right?

He plans to find a reason to conquer Quguo and solve the problem once and for all!

For this reason, Shi Qing also went to Quguo to inquire about the news. The current monarch of Quguo has just come to power and is an extremely ambitious person.

In the original plot, the eldest prince and his men contacted him in order to overthrow the Protectorate Mansion, but they didn't expect that he was ambitious and wanted to invade Daxia for a long time, and directly led the wolf into the house.

As for now, with the Protectorate Mansion and tens of thousands of Zhao's army in charge, there is no big move after several attempts to test Fengcheng and suffered heavy losses.

If he wanted to attack and merge Qu State, Shi Qing felt that he had to go to Beijing and talk to Xia Wenqing.
