I, the deposed prince, signed in the imperial mausoleum for a thousand years

"call..."

After Qin Feng left, the coercion pervading the entire Hall of Mental Cultivation dissipated, and everyone inside and outside the Hall of Mental Cultivation couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.

The huge pressure on them just now almost made them breathless, but now it is much better.

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, feeling like a dream, unreal.

That person is simply too powerful.

Not only is his cultivation base terrifying, but he can also make alchemy with bare hands.

It's hardly like a real person.

However, Emperor Xia, who had recovered, was reminding them that they were not dreaming just now, and everything was real.

"Father!"

Qin Jiunian hurried forward and asked, "How do you feel now?"

"Almost fully recovered from the injury."

Emperor Xia said slowly.

He looked at his son with some surprise.

He didn't expect that this son, who seemed a little weak on weekdays, would have the courage to draw his sword and slash at the mysterious man just now when everyone was terrified and trembling.

He looked at Qin Jiunian with admiration.

I feel that I may not fully understand this son.

At this time, several imperial physicians also stepped forward one after another, and checked Emperor Xia's body again, making sure that Emperor Xia's injuries were almost recovered.

"The incarnation outside the body just now was condensed from spiritual energy and sword energy, and it was the sword intent of the wind. I am afraid that he is the strong man who has helped us several times."

At this time, Old Chen, who was forced to kneel on the ground just now, also came from outside and said slowly.

"It should be the strong man."

After a pause, Emperor Xia said: "At first, I thought that he should have vendetta against the Exorcist Sect, so he helped us several times, but now it seems that it may not be that simple.

Even if he wasn't hiding in the palace, he was definitely inextricably linked with the Great Xia royal family. "

"Your Majesty's speculation is very reasonable."

Old Chen and many important officials nodded.

They all have the same idea in their hearts.

"Your Majesty, do you want me to focus on the investigation of the strong men who had a relationship with the Great Xia royal family and their descendants."

Jin Yiwei Zhen Fu envoy said in a deep voice.

Although Qin Feng had already warned them just now, this is what Jin Yiwei did.

"no!"

However, Emperor Xia immediately said: "From now on, we are no longer allowed to investigate the identity of the strong man, so as not to anger him."

It is enough to know that the strong man has a good impression of the Daxia royal family, and it doesn't matter if he doesn't know about the others.

"Well."

Jin Yiwei Zhenfu envoy nodded upon hearing this.

"Also, what happened here today, you must block the news, and no one is allowed to spread it."

Emperor Xia said again: "Let's just say that the imperial physician has cured my injury."

"According to the order."

All the people present said one after another.

Those who appeared here today are all important officials of the court, and the Imperial Forest Army outside are also the most elite group.

So it is very simple to block the news.

......

......

In the imperial tomb, Qin Feng opened his eyes.

"Ten years should be enough to stabilize the position of the prince, right?"

Qin Feng muttered to himself.

After pondering for a moment, he felt that it was almost the same.

After all, it is enough to hand over the army to Qin Jiunian, replace the important generals in the army with Qin Jiunian's people, or let them be grateful to Qin Jiunian.

Thinking of this, Qin Feng didn't think about it any more. He lay down on the recliner and continued to rest.

In the next period of time, the news that Emperor Xia's injury had recovered caused the vassal kings everywhere to be extremely disappointed.

If Qin Jiunian inherits the throne now, even if they don't seize the throne, they can coerce and lure them to gain more fiefdoms and power.

In the past two years, a large number of important generals in the army were imprisoned in the prison without warning.

A small part of them really violated the law secretly.

But a bigger part is completely weaving charges.

The Criminal Department and Dali Temple interrogated these generals together. For a while, these generals were panicked, not knowing what would happen to them.

Let you drink from the golden bottle, and you will not be spared with a white blade!

This was what Emperor Xia had said to them when he ascended the throne.

They never thought that the white blade would fall on their own heads so quickly.

Not only in the army, but also in the imperial court, many officials, even the ministers of the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Household Affairs, were imprisoned in prisons.

Some of the vassal kings from all over the country were relatively weak, and Jin Yiwei broke into the palace directly to arrest them.

For a time, the wind was roaring.

All the vassal kings were also a little scared. They didn't know what Emperor Xia was going to do. Many vassal kings gave gifts to the crown prince, hoping that the prince would speak more kind words in front of Emperor Xia.

Not only the vassal king, but also many ministers in the court also went to curry favor with the prince.

After all, in this dynasty, only the crown prince can persuade Emperor Xia.

And Qin Jiunian also had a very headache because of this incident, so he came to the imperial tomb to confide in Qin Feng.

"Brother Huang, father imprisoned so many ministers, generals, and feudal lords all at once, shouldn't he kill them all?"

Qin Jiunian asked.

Although he somewhat hated those vassal kings, the ones Xia Huang ordered to arrest were all small vassal kings, who didn't have much power, and few of them dared to seize the people's land and act violently on weekdays.

Otherwise, the local officials will not spare them.

"Don't worry! They won't die for the time being. In the end, whether they are dead or alive depends entirely on you."

Qin Feng said lightly.

He has read through the 24 histories, and he still understands the emperor's strategy.

"Brother, what does this mean?"

Qin Jiunian was a little puzzled.

"Didn't you tell me last time that Emperor Father only has ten years left to live? Now he's imprisoning these generals, ministers, and vassal kings, accusing them of crimes one by one.

Then kill one every three to five times.

After he passed away and you ascended the throne, kill a small number of those who are truly guilty and release most of the innocent ones. At that time, those who are still alive will not be grateful to you? "

After Qin Feng paused, he continued: "Besides, at that time, everyone will feel that the father is getting old and confused in his later years. Fortunately, you have a wise king like you succeeding to the throne, and the hearts of the people will be on your side."

This strategy is not particularly complicated, and even many ministers who have been imprisoned understand it in their hearts.

But when the butcher's knife was really hanging on them and the whole family, there was only fear in their hearts, because no one knew what Emperor Xia was thinking.

Whoever can forgive them at that time will be their reborn parents.

"So it is!"

When Qin Jiunian heard the words, he suddenly felt enlightened.

He didn't expect that Emperor Xia's purpose was for him to successfully succeed to the throne.

He couldn't help but smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Huang, maybe you are more suitable for the throne than me."

His whole mind is on how to improve people's livelihood, but he doesn't know much about this kind of tactics.

Qin Feng smiled, but did not speak.

Now he has no interest in this kind of throne at all.
