Abandoned Prince: Summon the Sword God at the beginning

Not to mention the Chu King's assassins rushing into the capital, Crown Prince Li Jiao was stationed in the Crown Prince's Mansion. Every day, war reports from all over the country flew to the East Palace like snowflakes. Even Yun Ni was busy. Every day, officials from various departments came to the East Palace to report to the crown prince, and Yun Ni had to ask servants to serve tea and water.

The Prince's Mansion is now fully staffed. In addition to the officials, a number of servants have been recruited to do the rough work, and the original servants have also been incorporated into the Prince's Guard.

The Emperor of Daxia selected more than a dozen palace maids to serve as Li Jiao's maids. Li Jiao was originally a modern spirit, so he naturally understood his father's thoughts.

My father hired someone to keep an eye on him so that he could rest assured. The emperors in ancient times never completely trusted anyone, not even their own sons.

Li Jiao thought to himself: "My cheap father is still suspicious of me, which is understandable. The royal family is ruthless, even father and son are no exception."

The Emperor of Daxia had seen the Crown Prince's tricks and was still in fear. He was worried that the throne would be usurped by Li Jiao. In fact, Li Jiao had no such thoughts at all. Now, as the Crown Prince, he could command the armies and had no need to usurp the throne. He was still young. As long as he waited patiently, the throne would be his sooner or later. Why should he bear the name of usurping the throne?

When the news that the prince's personal army had defeated the Chu army reached the capital, the people took to the streets to celebrate with joy, and everyone was praising the prince's reputation.

The aristocratic families also began to pledge allegiance to the Crown Prince. The heads of the three major families except the Zhao family all went to the Crown Prince's palace to pay homage.

Crown Prince Li Jiao is now the only crown prince of the Great Xia Dynasty. Once the emperor passes away, he, as the legitimate heir to the throne, can immediately ascend the throne.

The prestige of the current emperor has plummeted due to the changes in the capital, and he has developed a rift with the aristocratic families after the extermination of the Zhao family. It was obvious that he wanted to get rid of the Zhao family, who were so powerful that they threatened the emperor, but he used the Situ and other aristocratic families to kill people. Later, in order to quell the anger of the Sweeping North Army, he used the aristocratic families as scapegoats.

The eldest son of the Situ family was exiled three thousand miles away because of this incident. Although the Situ family used their connections to bribe the commander of the Beijing camp, Chen Feibao, to let his men take care of Situ Qingshan and prevent him from suffering on the road of exile.

Even so, the mountains are high and the roads are long. With the transportation conditions of this dynasty, even a trip would be very tiring for a young man.

Although Li Jiao felt that his father had gone too far, as a member of the royal family, he somewhat understood what his father had done; everything was done for the sake of the country.

Li Jiao thought to himself, "Although King Saobei and Zhao Wuji have been rehabilitated, the grandson of the Zhao family is still in exile, and Zhao Jinniu has led his army to join the Mongol Khanate. These are all potential risks for Daxia. We must use gentle means to get them to return to Daxia and become loyal ministers and good generals."

The one who did the evil was the Emperor of Daxia, not him, the crown prince. The favor bestowed upon the Zhao family should not be passed on to others.

Therefore, Li Jiao obtained an imperial edict from his father, announcing that Zhao Jinniu was innocent and would be reinstated if he could lead his army back to Daxia; Zhao Ling, the grandson of King Saobei, would inherit the title of King Saobei.

When the Embroidered Uniform Guard delivered the imperial edict to Zhao Ling, they were already at the border between Daxia and Mongolia and were preparing to cross the mountains between the two countries.

"Zhao Ling, the grandson of King Saobei, accepts the decree! By the will of Heaven, the Emperor proclaims: Zhao Ling, a descendant of a noble family, has suffered an unjust injustice and endured the pain of fleeing. Now, I hereby decree to redress his wrongdoings and order him to inherit the title of King Saobei and serve the country loyally. I decree this!"

In the past few days, Zhao Ling and others have been traveling westward and have long left the heartland of Daxia. They are cut off from news and do not know that the Emperor of Daxia has semi-retired and the Crown Prince has taken charge of the army and governs the country.

Zhao Ling received the imperial edict and said to the eunuch who delivered it, "Eunuch, what exactly is the emperor's intention? Didn't he send people to hunt me down before?"

The eunuch who delivered the imperial edict said, "Your Majesty, you have misunderstood. Your Majesty was deceived by the noble families before, so he issued the killing order. Now, the matter has been investigated and it is clear that the Situ family is the culprit.

They were jealous of your Zhao family's favor, so they framed the Zhao family and hired assassins with huge sums of money to attack the old prince. They have all confessed to the crime.

For this reason, Your Majesty has given the Situ family the due punishment. Their head, Situ Ming, has been dismissed from all official positions and is confined to his home. His son, Situ Qingshan, has been exiled three thousand miles away. Whether he can return to the capital alive depends on his luck. "
