Great Xia: At the start, summon the Net of Heaven to suppress the martial arts world.

The next morning, before dawn, the entire Prince Xuan's residence was brightly lit.

The entire Prince's mansion was bustling with activity.

It took Xia Taige a long time to put on his imperial robes, with the help of the four women, Mei, Lan, Zhu, and Ju!

Xia Taige felt helpless about this, and really couldn't understand why ancient clothing was so complicated and cumbersome!

After having a light breakfast, Xia Taige prepared to head to the imperial city!

As soon as they stepped out of the palace gate, they saw that Donghuang Taiyi had been waiting for a long time and took over Zhao Gao's carriage. The two of them went to court together!

Zhao Gao did not accompany them. There were many matters to attend to at the Prince's residence today, and Zhao Gao was needed to oversee the overall situation there.

Moreover, with Donghuang Taiyi around, Zhao Gao doesn't need to worry about safety for the time being!

Before long, the two arrived at the imperial city in their white dragon carriage!

At this moment, outside the gate, a large number of ministers who had arrived early had gathered and had been waiting for a long time!

Everyone turned to look at the noble white dragon carriage, and they all knew what was going on!

This carriage belongs to His Highness Prince Xuan, whose prestige is now immense in the capital!

Seeing this, everyone dared not delay and stood in two rows, heads bowed, waiting for King Xuan's arrival!

Inside the carriage, Xia Taige chuckled softly upon seeing the scene before him.

I vaguely remember that the last time I came here, I wasn't treated like this! Sure enough, people are pragmatic; if you have the power, everything is negotiable!

The many ministers who were waiting saw Xia Taige get off the carriage and hurriedly stepped forward to pay their respects, hoping to make a good impression on him!

"Your subject greets Your Highness, Prince Xuan!"

Seeing this, Xia Taige raised her eyes and glanced at the group, and everyone present bowed in greeting.

Seeing this, Xia Taige nodded slightly and said calmly, "Get up, all of you!"

As the saying goes, I may not remember who bowed, but I remember very clearly who didn't!

So far, everything seems fine, and there are no troublemakers!

Not long after Xia Taige arrived, Lin Dongshi's carriage slowly made its way towards the imperial city.

Upon seeing this, many ministers quickly stood on both sides to respectfully welcome their superior.

"Greetings, Your Excellency!"

Amidst repeated prostrations, Lin Dongshi, supported by his servants, stepped down from the carriage!

After glancing around, a polite bow is the way to return the greeting!

Then, turning his head to look at Xia Taige standing to the side, Lin Dongshi did not presume and gave Xia Taige a slight bow!

Seeing this, Xia Taige politely returned the greeting, after all, when the Zhenwu Division was established, Xia Taige still owed Lin Dongshi a favor.

Upon seeing Xia Taige here, Lin Dongshi inexplicably felt that this morning's court session was somewhat unusual!

Even Xia Taige, who usually doesn't attend the morning court session, arrived at the capital city early today.

Not long afterward, Lin Dongshi became even more certain of his feeling!

Then, the carriages of the other princes gradually appeared at the gate of the imperial city.

Lin Dongshi's mind was racing, considering all the possible scenarios!

Recalling Xia Taige's stay in the palace for several hours yesterday, an unbelievable guess suddenly came to Lin Dongshi's mind!

Thinking of this, Lin Dongshi turned to look at Xia Taige, his gaze becoming even more serious!

With the arrival of the princes, many ministers sprang into action!

The lower-ranking officials quickly stepped forward and bowed.

It was completely different from when Xia Taige first came to the capital.

However, it is not surprising, as Xia Taige was already quite famous before his first court appearance.

Xia Taige walked up to Xia Beixuan and bowed respectfully to him.

"I've met my brother!"

Upon hearing this, Xia Beixuan's expression became complicated. Ever since he received the imperial decree yesterday requiring him to attend court today, Xia Beixuan had had a bad feeling.

"Greetings, Fifth Brother!"

The two exchanged a glance but said nothing more.

The other princes also turned their gazes toward Xia Taige, but they didn't think much of it!

"Big brother! Fifth brother!"

The brothers greeted each other politely and amicably. No one was deliberately trying to embarrass anyone else. They were all princes and nobles, so they had the magnanimity to do so!

Upon hearing this, Xia Taige and Xia Beixuan replied politely!

As time went by, the morning court session began, and Xia Taige led Donghuang Taiyi toward the Hall of Diligent Governance!

Everyone looked at Donghuang Taiyi, who was standing next to Xia Taige, with curiosity!

"The time has come; all officials, enter the court!"

With a loud shout of greeting, the morning court session began!

However, unlike in the past, Wei Yong, who was standing next to Emperor Xia, did not bow: "Please speak if you have something to report!"

This unusual scene gradually quieted down the hall, and everyone held their breath as they waited for Emperor Xia!

"King Xuan, Xia Taige, step forward to receive the decree!"

Under Wei Yong's shouts, Xia Taige stepped forward to the center and knelt down on both knees!

The ministers in the main hall looked at Wei Yong on the high platform with puzzled expressions.

Under everyone's gaze, Wei Yong presented a scroll of bamboo slips with both hands!

Upon seeing this, Lin Dongshi felt a tremor in his heart, and his guess became even more accurate!

Bamboo slips are usually only used for bestowing titles upon empresses, establishing crown princes, and appointing princes. Taking them out to Xia Taige at this moment makes the result obvious!

The expressions of the princes surrounding Xia Taige grew increasingly grim!

"By the grace of Heaven, the Emperor decrees: The Fifth Prince, Xia Taige, is the heir apparent of the Great Xia imperial family. It is the will of Heaven. Now, in accordance with the initial edict, following the established rites, and respecting the will of the people, we respectfully inform Heaven, the ancestral temples, and the state, and hereby bestow upon him the imperial seal and establish him as the Crown Prince, placing him in the Eastern Palace, so as to ensure the continuation of the dynasty for ten thousand years and to soothe the hearts of the people throughout the land. This is the imperial decree!"

After hearing the imperial edict, Xia Taige bowed solemnly and extended both hands to receive it!

Thus, the story of the Nine Princes' Struggle for the Throne has ended before it even began!

Amidst the complex gazes of the crowd, Xia Taige received the imperial edict and took the head of all the officials.

Seeing this, none of the ministers dared to object; instead, they all bowed to Xia Taige in reverence!

"We greet Your Highness the Crown Prince!"

"Everyone, please get up!"

Xia Taige casually glanced around and said indifferently!

At this moment, the Xia Emperor, sitting on his throne, watched everything before him with a smile on his face.

After the father and son secretly met yesterday, Emperor Xia clearly realized that only if Xia Taige became the crown prince could the Great Xia Dynasty have the possibility of expanding its territory in the future!

The other princes were better at defending their territory than expanding it!

It can only be said that the waters of the Chinese mainland are too deep for them to grasp!

"If you have something to do, start the show, if nothing happens, leave the court!"

Upon hearing this, Xia Taige stepped forward and bowed.

"Your Majesty, I have something to report!"

"Now that I am the Crown Prince, I will be very busy with affairs in the future and may inevitably neglect my duties at the Zhenwu Division. Therefore, I wish to resign from my position as the head of the Zhenwu Division and hope that Your Majesty will grant me permission!"

The Xia Emperor, standing on the high platform, stared blankly at Xia Taige before him. "You didn't say anything yesterday either!"

Upon hearing this, some of the princes and ministers below immediately had their eyes light up. They knew all too well the power of the Zhenwu Division!

Everyone believed this was an opportunity; if they could seize control of the Zhenwu Division, anything was possible in the future!

Of course, these are all fools; intelligent people would be completely unmoved by this.

Even if the temptation of the Zhenwu Division is really great!

The Xia Emperor, occupying a high position, had his expressions on full display below the stage.

It contains a variety of emotions, including greed, excitement, and indifference!
