Don’t Show the Son

   Chapter 380 Concubine Shu's Thanks

   Imperial study, square in front of the hall.

  Lin Xiu wanted to abolish the old prince and set up the King of Qin as the new prince, and asked everyone present if anyone wanted to object.

   Duke Ding wanted to object, because the prince Lin Xiu wanted to abolish belonged to their family.

  The Duke of Song also wanted to oppose it. He did not oppose the abolition of the prince, but he hoped that the new prince would be the king of Qi.

   Duke Wei also wanted to oppose it. Lin Xiu had a revenge for killing his son. He wanted to oppose everything Lin Xiu agreed with.

   But none of them spoke.

  The powerful ancestor of the Zhang family, the number one powerhouse in Daxia, was lying at the feet of Lin Xiu at this moment. One moment he was still imposing like a rainbow, and the next moment, he was lying on the ground quietly.

   Not only that, but at the moment they are standing here, they can also feel the existence of the elemental energy in their bodies, but they cannot mobilize the elemental energy, as if they have become ordinary people.

   How can this be opposed?

  This is a threat, and he has the strength to threaten them.

   They didn't even figure out what was going on.

Lin Xiu has not only been promoted to the Heavenly Rank, but his abilities are even more powerful and strange to the point of inconceivable. At this moment, he is the number one powerhouse in Daxia. The Lin family is also the number one family in Daxia. Their family is more expensive than Daxia The family is even stronger when they join forces. He said that whoever is the prince will be the prince.

  The Zhang family used to be like this.

   After being silent for a moment, Duke Wei took the lead and said, "The King of Qin is a talented person, with extraordinary skills and outstanding abilities, and is more suitable for the position of the prince."

   An old prince of the royal family said: "The royal family has no opinion."

   Whether it is the prince or the king of Qin, they are all descendants of the royal family. From the perspective of the entire royal family, there is no difference between them being the prince.

   Duke Qi then said, "The Qi family agrees."

   Anyway, no matter who is the prince, it has nothing to do with the Qi family. He has no need or strength to oppose Lin Xiu.

   After being silent for a moment, the ancestor of the Song family also said, "The Song family has no opinion."

He could already see that Lin Xiu had the idea of ​​making King Qin the prince. In today's Daxia, as long as the Lin family wants to do, there is nothing that can't be done. When they want to make King Qin the prince, King Qi has a little chance. are gone.

  It is ridiculous to say that the prince and King Qi have been fighting for so long.

   Ding Guogong did not speak, the overall situation has been decided, no matter what he says is useless.

The crown prince held the door frame and stood at the entrance of the imperial study for a long time. When he saw this scene, he finally couldn't help it. His body slowly slipped down. "Father, don't abolish me, I want to be the prince, I've been the prince since I was born..."

   Emperor Xia looked down at him, sighed softly, and said, "If I knew this earlier, why did it happen in the first place?"

  Prince slumped completely on the ground, his expression gradually turned blank.

   Huang Xia walked to the square, looked at the old man lying on the ground, and asked Lin Xiu, "Is he alright?"

  Lin Xiu said: "It's okay, I was too frightened, I woke up after a while."

   Huang Xia nodded, looked at Duke Dingguo, and said: "The prince's actions are indeed too much, and the reason is intolerable, the legal principle is intolerable, not abolishing the prince, not enough for common people's anger, and can't give the Lin family an explanation."

   Duke Ding has accepted the reality and said hoarsely: "It's up to Your Majesty to decide."

Emperor Xia thought for a while, and then said: "King Qin is about to become a prince, but there is only one concubine, and the etiquette is not appropriate. After he enters the East Palace, he will add a few concubines for him. This matter will be handed over to him. Zhang Qing and Song Qing, let's do it..."

   Duke Ding and the ancestor of the Song family were stunned for a moment when they heard the words, and a ray of light flashed in the old eyes.

   Your Majesty's words are very meaningful.

King Qin is about to become the crown prince, and his choice of concubine will be handed over to the Zhang family and the Song family. The two families will definitely give priority to their own women. The current prince's side concubine will be the imperial concubine when he ascends the throne in the future. Their children will also inherit Qualifications for the throne.

  In this way, in fact, they still have a chance, it is nothing more than waiting for a few more years.

   In a sense, the King of Qin at that time was the present His Majesty.

Emperor Xia looked back at the crown prince, and said: "The crown prince has today, the Zhang family is duty-bound, and I also have responsibilities that cannot be shied away from. From now on, Da Xia will no longer set up the crown prince in advance. bit…”

   As soon as these words came out, the eyes of several princes lit up.

If you don’t set up a prince in advance, and choose a person with both political integrity and talent to pass the throne, doesn’t it mean that in the future, you don’t need to look at the strength of the family. possible.

   In this way, the grievances of the Zhang family and the Song family were diluted to the greatest extent.

After calming down and thinking about it carefully, you can't blame the Lin family for this matter. If they were Lin Xiu, they would only be more ruthless towards the prince and the Zhang family. Lin Xiu was already showing mercy to the Zhang family. Otherwise, the Zhang family's The old ancestors have now fallen...

  Ding Guogong sorted out his mood, bowed his hands to Lin Xiu, and said: "The matter of the prince was the Zhang family's fault first, thank you Lin Gongzi for being merciful..."

   Ding Guogong's words are very sincere. This does not mean that he is a good person. Everything is determined by strength.

  Lin Xiu's strength is not as good as Zhang's, they will not pay attention to him at all.

When his strength can crush the Zhang family, they will become extremely humble and sincere, they will take the initiative to compromise, and they are willing to reason, but I don't know if he will be so polite to him when he knows that Zhang Jing killed him. .

   A fierce conflict ended in a peaceful way under the mediation of Emperor Xia.

Whether it was the Zhang family or the Song family, the top dignitaries in Wangdu agreed to change the prince, but they didn't seem so reluctant. In order to appease them, in addition to choosing a concubine for Li Bozhang, Emperor Xia also chose a concubine for himself. , These big families know what Emperor Xia likes. In order to set up power in the harem, there are women over 30 years old who have not married yet.

  …

   Deep inside the palace, an uninhabited palace.

Lin Xiu and Lingjun Lingyin walked into the palace and saw a small figure sitting beside the stone table in the palace courtyard. Overnight, strands of white hair appeared on the crown prince's head, which made him Looks like twenty years older.

   His face was pale and bloodless, staring blankly ahead, someone came in, he didn't even look, he didn't move, like an old tree.

After    was deposed, he was placed under house arrest in the palace and was not allowed to step outside the palace gate for the rest of his life.

   If he were someone else and did that kind of thing, he would have been delayed, but he had the blood of the royal family on his body. Even if he didn't inherit the advantages of Emperor Xia, he was still his son.

  Lin Xiu once thought that one day in the future, when he has enough strength, when the prince is at his worst, he will condescend and humiliate him as a winner.

   But at this moment, standing in this palace, looking at such a prince, he just felt a little dull.

   In the beginning, he did take the prince as a target, but now, he doesn't need to prove anything by overthrowing the prince, and his mentality has changed invisibly.

   Lingyin is also the same as Lin Xiu, her expression is not angry, nor the pleasure of revenge, just like Lin Xiu, she just glanced at the prince and shook her head: "Let's go..."

   When the three of them were about to leave the palace, a group of palace maids and eunuchs came forward.

   Concubine Shu stepped down from a distance and stood there waiting, Lin Xiu walked over and cupped her hands: "I have seen Concubine Shu..."

   Concubine Shu smiled slightly and said, "I haven't thanked you for Zhang'er yet..."

  Lin Xiu also smiled and said, "Your majesty is very polite. Among all the princes of Your Majesty, he is the most suitable for inheriting the throne."

   Concubine Shu said: "How much skill Zhang'er has, as a mother I know, if you hadn't been helping him, he wouldn't be able to get to where he is today, I really don't know how to thank you."

  Lin Xiu laughed and said, "King Qin is my friend. Besides, this is what we agreed on a long time ago."

   After chatting with Concubine Shu, Lin Xiu decided to leave.

  Unexpectedly, when Concubine Shu stepped onto the guard of honor, one of her feet was unstable and she almost fell. Lin Xiu subconsciously supported her and said, "Be careful, madam..."

   As soon as he said the words, his expression suddenly froze.

   Just as he was supporting Concubine Shu, a force poured into his body from Concubine Shu's body.

   Concubine Shu is actually a capable person!

  Lin Xiu never knew about it before, not only him, but also Li Bozhang, Lin Xiu heard him say that Concubine Shu, like Concubine Noble Concubine, didn't have awakening magic...

   At this moment, Concubine Shu has already sat on the guard of honor again.

  Lin Xiu stood on the palace road and looked up at Concubine Shu.

   The two looked at each other, Lin Xiu looked into Concubine Shu's eyes, and Concubine Shu also looked into Lin Xiu's eyes.

   The two of them didn't seem to say a word, but in fact they have said thousands of sentences.

   After a while, Lin Xiu and Concubine Shu looked at each other and smiled. The maids left with the guard of honor, and Lin Xiu also turned around and left.

   Concubine Shu's ability is actually to read minds.

   No wonder she was able to accurately guess the reward that Lin Xiu wanted, no wonder Emperor Xia always said that Concubine Shu was the one who understood him best, because in her eyes, there were no secrets at all.

   She is the most hidden one in the entire harem.

  Lin Xiu thought that he kept his secrets well, but he didn't know that Concubine Shu knew about his secrets a long time ago.

   But she didn't say it.

   As a mind reader, she is very aware of the taboos of this ability.

   If this ability is known to others, even the closest people will respect her and keep them away.

   What Lin Xiu didn't expect was that he just fulfilled his promise with Li Bozhang, and he actually had such an unexpected harvest.

   Obviously, this is a thank you gift from Concubine Shu. She knew that Lin Xiu's ability was a copy, so she took the initiative to give him this precious ability...

  This is mind-reading... Looking at each other's eyes, you can know what they are thinking. For some people, this ability is more precious than any kind of mind power, light or darkness...
