at this time.
Emperor Xia's brows furrowed slightly, his lips moved slightly, and he responded: "I have my own sense of discretion!"
"No need for you to remind me!"
now.
On the roof of Tianxia Palace, a black figure clung to it, like a shadow, its lips moved lightly: "Emperor, you cannot be soft-hearted!"
Emperor Xia's frown deepened: "I know!"
The black figure seemed to see Emperor Xia's frown deepening: "Emperor, as long as you open the underground palace under Jixia, as long as you find the elixir of immortality, you will ascend to immortality, and you and the Great Xia Empire will be in heaven and earth. , in the future of the Great Xia Empire... you don’t need to worry about it!”
When Emperor Xia heard this, his frown did not relax. He frowned for two points and replied: "What if I sacrificed his blood... and couldn't open the Jixia Underground Palace?"
"impossible!"
"Although the old man was not clear-headed before his death, his predictions were successively verified. Therefore, there is no way that the child's blood sacrifice to open the door to Jixia's underground palace could go wrong, and he will definitely be able to open the door!"
Emperor Xia's lips moved slightly, and outsiders couldn't tell that he was transmitting messages!
"His prophecy... what if someone deliberately made it up to deceive the world?"
"impossible!"
"If there is such a person, the old man will definitely leave his last words and clear him out!"
"He is a human, not a god. Can he really predict the future?"
"able!"
Suddenly, Emperor Xia raised his eyelids and asked with anger: "Why is it my son?"
"Why not you?"
The figure in black was silent for a moment and said: "Because our generations are single generations, you are the only one who gave birth to nine children, and you are the only one who gave birth to... the ninth prince!"
"This is his life!"
"What if I didn't give birth to a ninth son?"
"Then they will sacrifice your blood because you are the... ninth generation of our family!"
"Then, he will sacrifice our blood and let us shed our blood to open the Jixia Underground Palace for him and resurrect him!"
Emperor Xia frowned: "If there is no elixir in the Jixia Underground Palace, what will we do?"
The figure in black looked silent!
He did not answer directly: "Emperor, you have changed..."
"I haven't changed!"
"You have to make a choice!"
"must!"
Emperor Xia thought for a moment and then relaxed his brows: "Before you sacrifice him with blood, you must kill all his lackeys and bury him in the soil so that he will never be born again!"
"rest assured!"
The black figure almost slapped his chest and swore: "We have discovered the location of the nine dragon coffins in the Western Mountains, and we are ready to snatch them and bury that old thing completely!
When the message reached this point, the black figure said earnestly: "Emperor, you only see the intelligence of King Huangzhou, you just see that he is decisive in dealing with things, like a sharp knife that can cut through the mess and accomplish things!"
"But he attaches too much importance to friendship and sympathy, and his character flaws are too obvious. He is really not the material to be an emperor. His bloodline cannot be the heir to the Great Xia Empire!"
Emperor Xia frowned again and asked through a message: "Does it mean that to be an emperor, one must be ruthless? Does one have to be as ruthless as a puppet?"
"Can't we have family ties, love, and friendship?"
"Does the emperor have to be a loner?"
"yes!"
The black figure replied seriously: "Because you are the True Dragon Emperor, the son of God, and a true dragon. Strictly speaking... you are not a human!"
Emperor Xia: "..."
"Can it be that someone as affectionate as Xiaojiu cannot govern the world well?"
"yes!"
"You should regard everything in the world as ants, including your prince!"
Emperor Xia was silent for another moment, and finally replied: "I will not let him return to Huangzhou again!"
He looked at Xia Tian, who was sitting on the coffin, with complicated eyes: "If I was the ninth eldest and the ninth son in the family, would you also sacrifice my blood to open the underground palace door?"
The figure in black was stunned on the top of the hall!
"Whoosh..."
He didn't want to answer this question, so he flew away, his figure was like an illusion, and he flew silently into the worship hall.
at this time.
Underground of Tianxia Palace.
The mysterious man's eyes flashed with light as he quickly walked through the tunnel and entered directly under the enshrinement hall!
He narrowed his eyes and murmured: "Are you hiding here?"
"Do you want to become an immortal?"
After thinking about it, the mysterious figure turned around and came directly to the waterway under the Jixia Underground Palace. He looked at the words on the underground palace door and murmured: "I...are back again!"
"You are the best chess players in the world. On your chessboard, you can control everyone in the world at your fingertips. But now, if someone overturns your chessboard...will you be dumbfounded?"
"Hahaha......"
The mysterious man seemed to have thought of a wonderful idea and burst out laughing in front of the waterway underground palace.
After laughing enough, he turned around and disappeared underground!
now.
the other side.
Xia Tian in Tianxia Palace is very busy: "Come here, give pen and ink to the family heads, let them write out the data of the treasury money and grain they have embezzled, and make an agreement to return it!"
"yes!"
Eunuch Wei waved his hand: "Follow what the Right Prime Minister said, and immediately provide pens, ink, paper and inkstones to all the family heads and lords!"
"yes!"
After a while.
The maids and eunuchs presented paper, ink, pens and inkstones to the heads of families!
If an uninformed person saw this situation, they would definitely think that the emperor was conducting a written examination to select talents in the Tianxia Palace!
Xia Tian sat on the coffin and looked around coldly: "Family heads, let's get started!"
"The title is "Confessions."
"yes!"
The heads of the family wrote quickly and respectfully!
If you offend the King of Huangzhou now, you will probably end up... being put in that coffin!
They can be the head of the family, they are all good at both civil and military skills, their handwriting is excellent, and few of them are ugly!
now.
The cleverness of the family heads surprised Emperor Xia!
He finally couldn't help but ask: "Xiaojiu, do you have any tips for doing things?"
"have!"
Emperor Xia and everyone in the palace pricked up their ears!
Xia Tian stood up from the coffin and said: "The most important thing in this world is to be serious. As long as you are serious, anything can be accomplished!"
"serious!"
All the family heads sneered!
Not profound at all!
Ordinary untouchables understand this!
Only Emperor Xia's eyes lit up, as if he was deeply touched: "Yes... the most important thing in this world is to be serious!"
"What a pity...there are so few people who can understand these two words!"
Not long after.
All the family heads stopped writing one after another: "Your Excellency, our "Confession" has been written!"
"Pull it up!"
Xia Tian sat back on the chair and began to look at each picture one by one, very carefully!
Finally, he stood up and saluted: "Your Majesty, although the money and food figures in the "Confessions" of each family head still need to be verified, the family heads should not have much to hide. Do you want to take a closer look?"
Emperor Xia waved his hand: "No need!"
"Just the right Prime Minister will handle it!"
"yes!"
Emperor Xia then said: "Come here, take these "Confessions" to each government and ask them to hand over the money and food in them to the treasury immediately!"
"yes!"
"Your Majesty, please give a message to each family. The time for submission shall not be later than sunset tomorrow!"
"good!"
Emperor Xia agreed to everything!
Soon after, the golden-armored guards escorted the eunuchs who came out of the palace to deliver the decree!
"Hehehe..."
Xia Tian raised his glass and said with a smile on his face: "Family heads, it's still very early before sunset tomorrow. The night banquet continues. Come... Let's raise a glass and drink and continue to watch the dancing. Let's do it!"
"Dry!"
The heads of the families did not dare to disobey: "Your Majesty, Prime Minister on the left, Prime Minister on the right!"
Drinking wine can warm you up, but it hurts the hearts of the family owners!
King of Huangzhou, just wait...this matter is not over yet!
Let me make you proud first!
Sooner or later I will let you know...the consequences of offending the world's rich and powerful families!
You are dead!
at this time.
Xia Tian saw through their thoughts, put down the wine glass, lay down directly in the coffin and said: "Father, if someone wants to drain my son's blood... what should I do?"
The heads of the families were horrified and said quickly: "Your Excellency, we have never thought of blood sacrifice for you!"
When Emperor Xia heard this, his hand holding the wine glass trembled: "Who is so bold?"
