Xia Tian shook his head.
He only knew Sima Lan, the most beautiful woman in Great Xia, and she ranked third on the list of beauties in the world.
"Hey hey hey..."
There was an evil fire in the prince's eyes: "Ninth brother, you are really a nerd."
"Brother Prince, let me tell you...the most beautiful woman in the world is called Huyan Duo'er, and she is the eldest princess of the Sirius Empire."
"The fiefdom is right next door to your Great Wilderness State - Tiandiao State."
"As long as you arrive at the fiefdom, you will probably see her graceful figure leading the troops into your territory."
Xia Tian's eyes condensed: "Really?"
"affim!"
The prince's face was full of anger, looking a bit mean: "Ninth brother, after the end of every winter, the Tianlang army from Tiandiao Prefecture will rush into Dahuang Prefecture to steal food and people."
"As long as you sit obediently in Dahuangzhou, you will definitely be able to see the most beautiful woman in the world."
"Legend has it that the most beautiful woman in the world, Huyan Duo'er, is not only as beautiful as a fairy in heaven, but also one of the top three famous generals in the Sirius Empire."
"He is a hero among women who is not inferior to men."
"If you are captured by her...hehehehe... Ninth Brother is so handsome, maybe he will become the Prince Consort!"
"You can let her take care of you!"
The prince wants to use the pain of Dahuangzhou to stimulate Xia Tian.
He glanced at Sima Lan in the distance, jealousy gnawing at his heart.
"Hehehe..."
The smile on Xia Tian's face remained unchanged: "Thank you, Brother Prince, for your guidance."
"After I go to Dahuang Prefecture, I will capture Hu Yanduo'er, the most beautiful woman in the world, to be my maid."
"Ninth brother, I will definitely not lose the prestige of the Daxia royal family."
This answer was beyond the prince's expectation.
He took a deep breath... This nerd really dared to think.
"Ninth brother, if you can catch Hu Yanduo'er as your maid, I will eat the stone lion in front of the prince's mansion!"
"good!"
Xia Tian hit the snake and said on the stick: "The bet is established!"
"Brother Prince, I'm waiting for the day you eat stone lions!"
The prince was choked and had nothing to say.
"Cough cough cough..."
Xia Tian asked with a concerned look on his face: "Brother Prince, after you peed in the snow that day... you didn't get any root causes of illness, right?"
This is summer's counterattack!
Which pot won’t be opened?
Hit someone in the face!
really.
"boom......"
The prince's heart exploded when he heard this, his eyes were full of fierce light, staring at Xia Tian, as if staring at the sworn enemy.
If eyes could kill, Xia Tian's body would have been riddled with holes and he would have bled to death!
The prince's face was as dark as ink, and he said gloomily: "If Prince Laohuang doesn't care, this prince is very strong!"
Xia Tian looked pleased: "That's good!"
"However, you and the imperial wives have worked hard for so many years, but you can't give birth to a son and a half...Are you in poor health?"
"you......"
The prince clenched his fists, veins popped out on his neck, fire was spitting out of his nostrils, he was so angry that he wanted to explode on the spot!
No, he drew his sword and poked ninety-nine and eighty-one bloody holes in Xia Tian's body.
Stab first and then kill!
Stab and kill again!
kill him!
Must kill him!
The prince was roaring madly in his heart!
He is thirty years old and has many concubines, but he has no children.
This is the pain in the prince's heart.
In front of the city gate.
Suddenly, even the wind became quiet.
There was only the angry rapid breathing of the prince.
In the city gate cave.
A luxurious carriage was parked inside.
In the carriage sat a handsome middle-aged man.
He listened quietly to the conversation between the prince and Xia Tian, with a complicated look in his eyes, and murmured: "So you are such a ninth prince!"
"No wonder Lan'er is curious about you!"
"The prince's temperament... it's hard for him to achieve great things!"
This person is none other than Prime Minister Zuo Sima Jian: "Go out and see the lady off!"
"yes!"
The burly coachman drove the carriage slowly out of the city gate and stopped next to the prince's car.
Sima Jian jumped off the carriage, raised his hands and saluted: "Sima Jian has met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
The prince's stiff expression softened, and he forced a smile and said: "Prime Minister Zuo, you are exempt from courtesy!"
"Are you also here to see Prince Huang off?"
"yes!"
Sima Jian behaved smartly and smiled brightly: "His Majesty the Emperor issued a decree last night to give the young daughter Sima Lan to Prince Huang in marriage. As a father, I should come to see them off!"
"His Royal Highness, do you think it's okay?"
last night.
Everyone in the court knew that the Ninth Prince almost knelt to death in the snow.
Immediately afterwards, to everyone's surprise, the emperor granted Sima Lan a marriage to King Huangzhou!
Prime Minister Zuo, Sima Jian, was so powerful in the court that even the prince tried hard to win over him and even let it slip... that he wanted to marry the two daughters of Sima's family.
If he can marry Sima Mei and Sima Lan and get the support of the Sima family, his position as prince will be solid and no one can shake it.
However, the emperor chose to marry Sima Lan to Xia Tian, which was beyond the expectations of the civil and military officials in the court.
Everyone is guessing the emperor's thoughts.
Sima Jian saw clearly!
The emperor gave him two choices:
The first choice is... for the sake of my daughter's happiness, secretly kill Xia Tian and use the knife in his hand to kill people.
If he chooses this way, the matter of killing the prince... is a little pigtail in the emperor's hand. As long as the emperor needs it, he can use it to destroy his Sima family at any time.
From then on, he could only be loyal to the emperor.
The second option is to let Sima Lan go with Xia Tian.
If this is the case, Xia Tian, who is least likely to become the crown prince due to the marriage of the Sima family, will no longer be able to support the crown prince, nor will he allow the crown prince to become powerful.
The Sima family will also work honestly for the emperor.
For the emperor, this was a plan that killed two birds with one stone.
No matter what the Sima family's choice is?
The emperor is a winner!
at this time.
The prince had a flattering look on his face: "It's only human nature for Prime Minister Sima to send his daughter off on a long journey. Of course it's okay."
but.
He still couldn't help but provoke: "But Dahuang State is a wild and dangerous place. Prime Minister Zuo really wants to send Miss Sima Lan into that dangerous place?"
"Hehehe..."
Sima Jian smiled faintly and put the matter aside: "I'm sorry, the prince is worried about me!"
"His Majesty the Emperor personally granted the marriage and issued the decree to go with it. If the old ministers block it, it will be a rebellion against the decree!"
"If this is the case, I'm afraid the old minister's head will be at risk!"
The prince looked embarrassed: "Of course you can't resist the order!"
"Of course not!"
At this time.
Xia Xiacai bowed his hands and said, "Xiao Wang has met Prime Minister Zuo."
Sima Jian quickly returned the salute: "How can any prince salute the old minister first... The old minister has met Prince Huang."
"Please allow me to say goodbye to Lan'er, Prince Huang."
Xia Tian readily agreed: "Prime Minister Zuo, please!"
Sima Jian walked towards Sima Lan, and the father and daughter exhorted each other, acting like a loving father and a filial daughter.
At this time.
The prince entered the carriage with a dark face and said coldly: "I will be sent here today, Prince Huang, go on your way!"
"Walk!"
"drive......"
The driver turned the horse's head and headed back to the city.
Xia Tian respectfully saluted the carriage: "My dear brother, I would like to send my brother to the crown prince, and say hello to the three imperial wives for me!"
"I hope my brother, the prince, will become a father soon!"
"Children in droves!"
In the city gate cave.
"puff......"
The prince's blood in his chest could no longer be controlled. His throat was filled with sweetness, and he sprayed it into the carriage, shouting suppressedly: "Xia Meiren!"
A graceful black figure appeared outside the car window, and his voice was soft and graceful, like an oriole talking to a human being: "Your Highness, what are your orders?"
The prince looked ferocious: "Kill him!"
"Kill him immediately!"
The graceful figure was startled: "Prince, if we take action immediately...will all our hard work during this time be in vain?"
"Then it's all in vain!"
The prince drew his sword and waved it, gritting his teeth and said: "This prince can't wait any longer! I just want to send him to the underworld as quickly as possible!"
"yes!"
The graceful figure agreed with some embarrassment: "I will immediately re-formulate the assassination plan!"
"One more thing, after the wounded soldiers were brought here just now, the Ninth Prince was not only not disappointed, he also worked hard for a long time, as if he had found a treasure!"
The prince smiled sinisterly: "Smelly Old Nine is just pretending!"
"At this moment, his heart must be very tortured!"
"No matter how happy he pretends to be now, he is so sad in his heart!"
"That must be it!"
"Let him die in suffering and sadness!"
"yes!"
After a while.
The prince's carriage drove out of the dim city gate.
There was no one outside the car window.
Everything just seemed to be an illusion.
the other side.
In front of the city gate.
Sima Jian couldn't help but ask: "My lord, why do you have to anger the prince?"
Xia Tian looked humble: "Uncle Sima, don't call me so unfamiliar, just call me Xian son-in-law!"
Sima Lan's pretty face was as red as an apple.
She glared at Xia Tian coquettishly.
Sima Jian was stunned: "A virtuous son-in-law?"
Xia Tian asked back: "Isn't that what it's called?"
Sima Jian's expression remained unchanged, and he said frankly: "If the prince can live to take over the Great Wilderness State, I will definitely obey your orders!"
"However, I would like to know... why do you want to anger the prince?"
Xia Tian smiled faintly: "On my way to Dahuang State, the prince must have already arranged the means to kill me."
"If I can irritate him and make him unable to help himself, it will be in my best interest."
"Hahaha......"
Sima Jian stroked three strands of his beard with an admiring look on his face: "It seems that the prince not only knows and understands soldiers."
"He is also well versed in the art of war."
"good!
"Now, I want to make a bet with the prince... If the prince can repel the Sirius army after the beginning of spring and establish a foothold in Dahuang State, the Sima family will do its best to assist the prince."
Xia Tian agreed happily: "Thank you, Uncle Sima!"
Sima Jian no longer resisted this title: "My lord, wait until you have established a foothold in Dahuang State before saying thank you!"
Xia Tian showed his attitude: "Uncle Sima, even without your bet, I will fight back that Huyan Duo'er for the sake of the people of Dahuang State!"
"good!"
Sima Jian thought for a while and then asked thoughtfully: "My lord, what is your ambition?"
To deal with this problem, Xia Tian has already prepared!
However, discussing the will at the gate of the imperial capital may reach the ears of some people, which is very risky.
However, no matter whether he, the prince, has great ambitions or not, he is always the target of those in the palace... Why should he keep a low profile?
The Sima family was a behemoth in the Great Xia Dynasty. It was not short of money or power. Except that it was not a royal family and there was no emperor in the family, it had everything.
If you want such a family to invest in a prince, you must first let them see that the prince has great ambitions!
Then, they will see the ability of a prince!
Xia Tian put his hands behind his back, his figure was like a sword, and his voice was so low that only Sima Jian and Sima Lan could hear it.
However, it seems to have penetrated time and space: "Establish a heart for heaven and earth, establish a destiny for the living people, inherit the unique knowledge of the past saints, and create peace for all generations!"
This saint's ambition is inspiring!
The history of this land is different from that of China.
Although the names of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors are the same, the people are different.
Although there were later Shang Dynasty, Zhou Dynasty, Spring and Autumn Period, Warring States Period, and Qin Dynasty, the people in power were also very different.
The historical figures are also different.
and.
What came after the Qin Dynasty was not the Han Dynasty!
But the current Daxia Dynasty.
There are also many literati in Daxia who like poetry and songs.
However, there are no masterpieces handed down from China for five thousand years.
When it comes to determination, these "four actions" are enough to shock the world and make ghosts and gods weep.
now.
"boom……"
After hearing this, Sima Jian and Sima Lan felt as if four nuclear bombs had been dropped in their minds, causing their souls to tremble and their hearts to surge.
His heart is so big!
Do you want to be a saint?
Or do you want to be an emperor?
really.
Sima Jian's eyes sparkled with light, and he looked at Xia Tian with special eyes: "What a great ambition!"
"My lord, you are so brave!"
He looked deeply at Xia Tian and told Sima Lan: "Lan'er, help the prince to take over the Great Wilderness State."
"If you encounter difficulties, please send a message directly to your home and my father will make arrangements."
Sima Lan woke up with a start: "Yes!"
"Father, take care!"
Sima Jian nodded and warned: "Your Majesty, I will ask you to take care of Lan'er!"
"I wish you success in entering the Great Wilderness State!"
"I'm waiting for your good news in the imperial capital!"
Xia Tian bowed his hands.
Sima Jian returned the gift: "I've sent you a thousand miles away, but I have to say goodbye in the end!"
"Good journey!"
Xia Tian: "I will definitely take good care of Miss Sima and live up to the Sima family!"
Sima Jian nodded.
Then, he turned around and left calmly, looking into the void, his heart surging: "Establish a heart for the heaven and earth, establish a destiny for the people, inherit the unique knowledge for the saints, and create peace for all generations... The world has misjudged the Ninth Prince! "
At this time, the voice of summer penetrated the void: "Don't listen to the sound of beating leaves in the forest, why not scream and walk slowly."
"The bamboo stick and mango shoes are better than the horse, who is afraid?"
Sima Jian's eyes were full of brilliance: "Good! What a king of the Huangzhou... He is not afraid of wind and rain, and whether the sky will be clear above his head? He will go on the road that he should take, despite the thorns and thorns!"
"Have ambitions! Be determined! I, Sima Jian, will be here in the imperial capital to watch you rise to power..."
