Chapter 285

So Xiaobai came to this world with Chen Jia. But Xiaobai didn't show up from the beginning. He was entrusted with an important task by Chen Jia. In the past few months of lurking in the Daxia state, Xiaobai went in and out of the Marquis house in the name of Zhong Li's distant relatives. He idled around every day to make friends with the idle children in the capital and eat, drink and have fun together.

There are many wangmen nobles in the capital. Their background is closely related to the imperial court. It is difficult to enter the high gate and deep courtyard, but it is still very simple to climb up a few dandies. They just get together with those who can play. Xiaobai came out of the system with the memory of many worlds. He has many insights and interesting stories. Coupled with his good Kung Fu, he is naturally sought after by the dandies in the capital.

Through these contacts, Xiaobai often went to various houses for dinner. He took the opportunity to communicate with the animals in the house and found a lot of information. In the information underdeveloped ancient times, with intelligence, there was a magic weapon to win.

Xia Houyu was surprised to hear the little white animal language. After all, this fact is too absurd.

But Xiaobai soon proved his ability.

He said, "if the third prince doesn't believe me, you can test me. I just came back from the Jixian hall where the ninth Prince lives. I heard a lot of secrets from there."

Xia Houyu's eyes moved slightly, thought and asked, "then I'll ask you, what book does the ninth Prince read in the evening?"

Xiaobai smiled and replied, "the ninth prince never likes reading. What you want to ask is that the ninth prince does schoolwork for the seventh prince?"

Xia Houyu's eyes moved. The ninth Prince has always been the leader of the seventh prince. They say they are brothers, more like masters and servants. Both the ninth Prince and his mother and son depend on the virtuous imperial concubine for a living. Naturally, they are in awe of the seventh prince. I'm afraid the seventh Prince hasn't finished one class since he studied in the nonsense Pavilion for three years. It's all the ninth Prince doing his homework by imitating his handwriting. No one knows about it except the third prince accidentally found out.

Xiaobai said, "listen to the night owl in Jixian hall. The ninth Prince has imitated the notes of the seventh Prince for a long time. The seventh prince gave him a good horse in order to reward him."

Xia Houyu thought: "it turned out that his horse was given to him for this reason. Lao Qi always mentioned the horse in front of Lao Jiu. It seems that he wants to ask him to help with his homework."

Chen Jia interposed a sentence and asked, "the third prince knows this?"

Xia Houyu replied, "I went late every day after class because my legs and feet were inconvenient. I accidentally ran into old nine making up for old seven's homework. It should not have been said. Xia Houyu looked at Ling ran!

Chen Jia's mind also turned quickly. The heaven worship ceremony is the most grand ceremony in the Xia kingdom. Traditionally, only the emperor can stand on the altar, and the queen and her sons have to pay homage three steps below the altar. But now, the emperor has to choose people from the princes who can stand on the altar. Does this mean that the battle for the altar implies the battle for the throne!

Xia Houyu gradually calmed down and asked, "the previous dynasty was arguing. Who should stand on the fifth Prince and the seventh prince?"

"That's right. The third prince was imprisoned in Qianyi hall, and no one mentioned it in the court. The remaining three princes were five, seven and nine. They were not legitimate or long-term. Except the third prince, the fifth prince was long enough to go to the altar, but the mother imperial concubine of the fifth prince was only a Zhaoyi, and her rank was too low. The mother imperial concubine of the seventh prince was a virtuous imperial concubine. The queen lived in seclusion for many years, and the virtuous imperial concubine controlled the back palace. In fact, she had long been regarded secretly For the queen. He came forward to fight for his son's seat, which was somewhat reasonable. "

Chen Jia thought for a moment and said, "it seems that the altar is really regarded by them as a dispute between the two princes. Is it clear that the factions supporting the two princes in the imperial court?"

Xiaobai took out a piece of paper from his arms and said, "in the morning, the officials quarreled. I asked the lark at the gate of the hall to write it down for me. Which official helped which prince to speak is on it."

Chen Jia quickly picked it up and watched it with Xia Houyu.

On the paper, there are six sections of three provinces and hundreds of officials. Those who draw red circles show their support for the seven princes, and those who draw black circles show their support for the five princes. When you look at them, the red and black circles are dense and dazzling. You can see the trend of water and fire in the struggle between the princes.
