Song Huan just breathed a sigh of relief, but suddenly thought of something. I became nervous again for a while.
"That's not right, Father!"
"Although the Xia Kingdom is a small country with a sparse population, it does seem difficult to compete with Daliang."
"But don't forget, Xia Kingdom borders Beiyuan!"
"If Xia Yuan and Bei Yuan collude to attack our Daliang..."
"Ha ha ha ha……"
Before Song Huan finished speaking, he heard Emperor Liang throwing his head back and laughing.
It's just that Emperor Liang's smile was not the kind of ridicule full of sarcasm.
Instead, it was a smile that came from the heart and was filled with relief.
"Fourth, how come you have become a prince with such a far-sighted vision without me noticing?"
"A child can be taught, a child can be taught!"
Emperor Liang smiled like a child in his fifties and looked at Song Huan with surprise.
"You can think of this, I am naturally very happy."
"However, what you said is nothing to worry about."
"There is a blood feud between the Xia Kingdom and the Beiyuan Kingdom that will destroy the country!"
"Destroy the country?" Song Huan was a little confused.
"Hasn't the Xia Kingdom been a vassal state of my Daliang for hundreds of years?"
"How come you have such a connection with Bei Yuan?"
Emperor Liang still had a faint smile on his face, and said eloquently: "Hundreds of years ago, the Xia Kingdom was called Xixia, and it was a superpower that kept pace with Daliang."
"Xixia was originally rich in assets, and its people lived a prosperous life and lived and worked in peace and contentment."
"But they don't understand the principle of being prepared for danger in times of peace. They only focus on developing culture and do not pay attention to military strength."
"So soon, this piece of fat was targeted by Bei Yuan, who was eyeing him."
"The Northern Yuan Dynasty was so powerful that they marched southward and occupied most of Xixia's territory in one go."
"Xixia retreated again and again, and in the end they had no choice but to give up the land."
"The remaining people can only huddle in the deserted place in the southwest. Over time, they have become the Xia Kingdom today."
"So, there is a blood feud between Xia Kingdom and Bei Yuan!"
After listening to Emperor Liang's story, Song Huan suddenly understood!
No wonder the Xia Kingdom and the Northern Yuan Dynasty were bordering each other, but Emperor Liang never worried about them colluding into each other, like a den of snakes and rats.
It turns out that there is such a deep hatred between the two countries!
"So that's the case. It's really my son who is worrying too much."
"Father has great foresight, and I will obey you!"
Emperor Liang said with a smile: "But your concerns are not unreasonable. Xia Yuan must have a plan for suddenly stationing troops."
"Now we can only take one step at a time and wait and see what happens!"
"By the way, Fourth Brother, do you know why Sun Shutong came to see me just now?"
After Emperor Liang's reminder, Song Huan recalled that he had just met Sun Shutong in front of the imperial study room.
Song Huan didn't have any deep impression on him. He only knew that this man was usually taciturn and behaved in a low-key manner.
Why did he seem to be a completely different person when we first met him, and he actually dared to openly yell at me!
To be so arrogant suddenly, there must be someone behind you.
Song Huan shook his head and replied to Emperor Liang: "Father, my son and ministers don't know."
Emperor Liang said: "When he met me, he was beating around the bush and hemming and hawing. He said a few words but didn't get to the point."
"But I understood what he meant!"
"He spoke earnestly and carefully for a long time, just to state the shortcomings of the imperial examination and to persuade me to give up the imperial examination."
"But he was lucky today. Before he could get angry, you came."
"If this is not the case, I will definitely punish him severely!"
Song Huan was speechless.
Unexpectedly, such an ordinary imperial examination would lead to countless people trying to stop Liang Emperor!
There is no way, this system has touched the cake of too many nobles and cut off their shortcuts.
They naturally hold a grudge against this and would rather pay a certain price to stop it!
"Even though my father has already spoken out about this matter, people who are interested will definitely continue to oppose this matter at any cost."
"They will even secretly cause trouble and interfere with this matter!"
"This is really helpless!"
Seeing that Song Huan was quite pessimistic, Emperor Liang grinned.
"Fourth, do you still remember?"
"You still have my sword in your hand!"
Song Huan nodded: "Of course I remember this!"
"Does the father need his son to return this sword?"
"Of course not!" Emperor Liang waved his hand, "Is there any reason to take back the things I gave away?"
"This sword is in your hand, so it should be used by you."
"And you must maximize the value of this sword!"
Song Huan's expression became a little confused: "Father, what do you mean..."
Emperor Liang's eyes became a little deep.
"Cheng Xun was originally solely responsible for the imperial examination, and that was enough."
"But I know Cheng Xun well and know that with his temper, it will be difficult to mediate."
"So, I let you and Cheng Xun take charge of this matter together!"
"If anyone dares to interfere with this and cause trouble, you will chop off that person's head with my sword."
“Set as a warning to others!”
"If there's one, chop one, and if there's two, chop a pair!"
"Cut whoever you want to chop, and chop wherever you don't agree!"
"I want to see how far they can go without fear of death!"
Looking at Emperor Liang's indignant look, Song Huan admitted that at this moment, he was really shocked by Emperor Liang's words!
Although shocked, I have to admit it!
This feeling of being completely entrusted with a heavy responsibility is so damn good!
Song Huan immediately stood up and saluted Emperor Liang.
"Thank you very much, Father, for your strong support!"
"My son obeys the order!"
With Emperor Liang's words, let's see who dares to do evil in the future!
This sword has been kept in the house for a long time, but Song Huan has never experienced what it would feel like to use this sword to kill someone...
Emperor Liang also seemed a little excited. After all, as an emperor, he could not do whatever he wanted and chop whoever he wanted.
We can only use Song Huan's hand to take a look at those disobedient ministers.
When it came to killing people, both father and son were a little excited, and they couldn't help but chat for a long time in the imperial study.
When Xue Hai came to treat Emperor Liang to dinner, both of them still had some unfinished ideas.
"By the way, fourth child," Emperor Liang suddenly laughed, "Last time we had a barbecue in the yard, it was so delicious that my mouth is still watering."
"How about we continue to barbecue and drink today?"
Song Huan clapped his hands: "Of course that's the best!"
"Excuse me, Eunuch Xue, go prepare the stove and ingredients."
"Remember, tell the imperial kitchen to prepare some good beef and pork belly!"
Song Huan couldn't help but drool when he thought of the sizzling pork belly and the delicate texture of beef.
"yes!"
Xue Hai lowered his head and responded. Just as he was about to walk out of the imperial study room, he ran into a young eunuch who rushed in in a hurry.
"Your Majesty!"
"Something bad is going to happen!"
