Chapter 383: Is there a sixty-year-old prince in the world?
It was not until the officials were all thirsty and the prince and Prince Huai were red-faced and red-faced that they finally said, "War and peace are both justified. The prince and Prince Huai should go back and think about it first. We will discuss this matter tomorrow."
"Retreat from the court."
Emperor Xia's figure disappeared behind the bead curtain.
"Your Majesty, please retire!" All the ministers saluted to the empty bead curtain.
The officials were not surprised that the matter would be discussed on another day. After all, it was a major event between the two countries. How could it be decided immediately after everyone argued. It must be discussed and discussed again, discussed and discussed again.
But they didn't know that Emperor Xia's purpose was not to negotiate peace, and he didn't care whether the peace negotiation was successful or not. What Emperor Xia cared about was only his own grand plan, not Great Xia's grand plan.
The prince and King Huai were tired of looking at each other, so after going to court, they walked in opposite directions. The direction the prince walked was towards the East Palace, which was within the imperial city, while the palace of King Huai was outside the imperial city.
This is again the difference between a prince and a prince. As Prince Huai walked on the road, his face became even more distorted.
However, he is also a deep-tempered person. Even if he is angry in his heart, his mind will not be affected by it. His superficial anger is actually more for outsiders to see.
After arriving at the palace, the anger on King Huai's face disappeared, but the coldness in his eyes was even worse.
"Hai Wuya, do you think my father still has any intention of passing on the throne?" King Huai put his hands behind his back and asked Hai Wuya, the deputy leader of the Cao Gang who had been waiting here.
His words seemed to be asking Hai Wuya, but in fact he was asking himself.
Did Emperor Xia still have any intention of passing on the throne?
Eleven years ago, Emperor Xia returned to the dynasty after defeat and made a decree to raise Gu to kill the crown prince. From the day the decree was issued, King Huai unleashed a powerful force of action.
He was not willing to just be a prince, and had been making constant moves. When Emperor Xia issued his decree, King Huai directly raised his flag and competed with the prince face to face with gongs and drums.
Relying on his astonishing mobility and domineering and decisive style, King Huai's power has grown step by step over the years, and he was even able to steadily suppress the crown prince.
Before the prince got help from Buddhism, King Huai had already started to eliminate the prince's help, and almost succeeded.
Although the prince made a comeback due to the entry of Buddhism, which made King Huai feel the pressure again, King Huai still did not take the prince seriously. His usual anger and weakness were actually done for others to see.
Buddhism was so powerful that King Huai chose to stay away from the enemy for the time being. Anyway, when Buddhism really wanted to gain a firm foothold, someone would naturally come to deal with it.
Daxia's cake has been distributed. If Buddhism wants to squeeze in and eat the cake again, it has to take the cake from others. Daxia's political forces will not just let Buddhism take root.
Moreover, there are also some people in the royal family who want to deal with Buddhism. If not for Emperor Xia's ambiguous attitude, Buddhism would still be a wanted criminal that everyone wants to beat.
King Huai was not afraid of the prince. What he was actually afraid of was that Emperor Xia wanted to continue to sit on the throne and refused to pass on the throne. In this case, all his hard work over the years would be in vain.
Because with the current strength of Emperor Xia, if he wants to sit on the throne and not let go, King Huai will not be able to seize power even if he wants to use force.
Hai Wuya did not answer what King Huai said, because he knew that what King Huai wanted to ask was actually not him, but himself.
Sure enough, King Huai murmured to himself: "It has been sixty years. My father has been sitting in this position for sixty years. I have also worked hard for the throne for nearly thirty years, and in the last ten years, I have devoted all my power to the throne."
I have put all my heart and soul into it. Is it possible that my father still wants to stay in office for another sixty years?! How can there be a prince in the world who can last for sixty years?"
Although he is not the crown prince, King Huai's current status is very different from that of the crown prince. He has worked hard for nearly thirty years, but there is still no hope. With Emperor Xia's current level of strength, let alone another sixty years, he will be
Sitting there for another hundred and twenty years is not a problem at all.
One hundred and twenty years is not a small number even for King Huai who is not low in strength and longevity.
What's more, these one hundred and twenty years are not for you to live leisurely. You have to fight, rob, and calculate. King Huai really doubted that by the time his dream came true, he would be old and sitting there.
He was even up to his waist on the dragon throne.
The greater possibility is that King Huai has died of old age, while Emperor Xia is still sitting on the throne alive and well.
This situation is absolutely not allowed.
"I never want to be King Huai for another sixty years. My father must die!"
At this moment, King Huai's face was filled with murderous intent, and his eyes turned into the eyes of the sword dragon, shooting out sword light, "The war with Yunmeng is an opportunity, an opportunity for my father to die on the battlefield.
As long as Dugu Tianyi takes action! As long as Dugu Tianyi takes action!"
King Huai was pacing back and forth, his body bursting with sword aura, drawing sword marks on the ground.
"My ancestor is seriously injured now. If there is a war between the two countries, my father will definitely take the lead and fight in person as he did eleven years ago. This is the best opportunity!"
King Huai suddenly looked back at Hai Wuya, "Dugu Tianyi has a disciple who is challenging him everywhere in the world, right? Kill him, leave words insulting Dugu Tianyi on his body, and send it to Tianyi City."
"Your Highness," Hai Wuya bowed slightly and said, "That man is the only son of the Lord of Tiandu. He has the blood of the Celestial Clan. He is an extremely expert in refining gods. Plus, the people of Tiandu...
·”
"I don't care!" King Huai interrupted sharply, "Even your father will die if you stand in the way of this king's hegemony! I order you to take charge of the guests in the palace, and use all the masters of the Cao Gang to kill Dugu Tianyi's disciples!
"
"Yes, Your Highness." Hai Wuya could only respond respectfully.
After giving the order, King Huai's face softened slightly and he said with relief: "Hai Wuya, you were one of the first people who took refuge with me when I established the Cao Gang. You have been in charge of the affairs of the Cao Gang for me. If anything happens in the future, I will never do it."
Forget about you. It will be easy for me to become emperor, and you will be granted lordships and generals throughout the world. Work hard, and I will never let you down."
"Thank you, Your Highness!" Hai Wuya said with tears of gratitude.
The mysterious leader of the Cao Gang is actually King Huai. The Cao Gang is King Huai's tentacles in the world. It is precisely because of the existence of King Huai that the Cao Gang can dominate both the world and the officialdom, and has grown steadily over the years.
Now, it's time to use Caobang.
Hai Wuya saluted respectfully and said, "Then my subordinates will go and gather men to prepare to kill Si Ye."
"Go." King Huai waved his hand.
Hai Wuya stepped back respectfully and walked out of the hall. He didn't turn around until he went out.
His respectful attitude made King Huai very satisfied. Isn't the dignity of status only reflected in moments like this? King Huai enjoyed this feeling of dignity and was deeply addicted to it.
But he didn't see the trace of disdainful smile that Hai Wuya showed after turning around.
