"You really don't know why?"
"My son, I really don't know!"
Emperor Xia stared with a pair of eagle eyes and said: "Kill Sima Lan, and Princess Tianlang can marry you now and become your crown princess!"
"In this way, we can make peace with Emperor Sirius!"
"In my opinion, Princess Tianlang's heart is also with you. As long as you marry her, Emperor Tianlang will definitely withdraw his troops, and I, Daxia, will be able to avoid this war!"
"As long as we marry the Sirius Empire, the Blackman Empire and the Barbarian Empire will not dare to use weapons against me, Daxia!"
Emperor Xia had already thought about it carefully: "Prince, isn't this my best choice?"
"I am the emperor of Daxia. If sacrificing a woman can end the war, shouldn't I choose to sacrifice that woman?"
"Am I wrong?"
"have!"
Xia Tian will never give in: "Not making peace or ceding territory is the bottom line for my son!"
"Not to mention the wife of a son-killing minister asking for peace!"
"Can't do it!"
Suddenly, the atmosphere in the royal study was extremely solemn, and the eunuchs and maids inside and outside the room felt almost suffocated!
finally.
Emperor Xia said: "Prince, do you know why I want to kill Sima Lan?"
"Why?"
"Because Sima Lan is just a concubine of the Sima family. She is not worthy of you or the position of crown princess!"
"snort......"
Xia Tian said coldly: "The Wolf Princess is even less worthy!"
"If I inherit the throne in the future, and the queen is Princess Tianlang...how will I explain to the people of Daxia?"
"What do you want the people of Daxia to think?"
"I can't control the future!"
Emperor Xia was a little irritable: "Let's get over this difficult situation first!"
"Hahaha......."
Xia Tian sneered: "Father, are you afraid of Emperor Sirius?"
"Are you afraid of the Sirius army?"
"presumptuous!"
Emperor Xia seemed to have his thoughts revealed: "Prince, be careful what you say!"
"Plop..."
The emperor was so angry that he knelt on the ground inside and outside the imperial study. The eunuchs and maids lay their heads on the ground, trembling with fear and not daring to raise their heads!
Eunuch Wei, who had just returned, looked terrified: "Your Majesty, please calm down!"
"Your Majesty, calm down!"
At this moment, Xia Tian and the emperor were seen glaring at each other, their eyes were like lightning, as if they were in a confrontation, refusing to give in to each other!
"Ouch..."
Eunuch Wei knelt on the ground and kneaded the mud: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please give in!"
"I can't give in!"
Xia Tian is determined: "I can't give in to this matter alone!"
"If my father dares to attack Lan'er, I will kill Princess Tianlang and end the chance of reconciliation with the imperial court!"
The imperial study fell into suffocating silence again!
a long time!
Emperor Xia said faintly: "Since you want to know the reason why I killed people, then I will tell you!"
"After this purge of the imperial court, only the Sima family is the only dominant family in the court. If the daughter of the Sima family is still the crown princess or the future queen, if you were me... what would you think?"
Listen and listen!
The emperor was afraid that Sima Jian and Xia Tian would join forces!
"Father, don't worry!"
Xia Tian said sternly: "As the saying goes, if you have different beliefs, you will not conspire against each other. Erchen and the Sima family are not from the same family. Lan'er has long lost contact with the family. You don't have to worry about our collusion!"
"Isn't my father clear about my son's attitude towards wealthy families?"
"Of course I know!"
The doubts in Emperor Xia's heart cannot be eliminated: "Prince, although the Rebirth Sect is destroyed this time, there seems to be a force secretly spying on my Xia family and resurrecting the ancient saint!"
"This force, do you think... could it be the Sima family?"
"like?"
"Father, do you have any clues or evidence?"
"No!"
Emperor Xia was a little unsure: "Maybe I'm overthinking it!"
"It's just that the origins of the Sima family are too mysterious. Throughout the long history, they have been able to escape disaster every time. Even I admire their ability to turn disaster into good fortune!"
"After this rebellion, the Sima family will become stronger. Do you think I can bear it?"
Emperor Xia said earnestly: "Prince, I do not allow one family to dominate the court. Do you understand?"
"Then you want to kill Erchen's wife?"
"I'm going to kill your weak spot!"
"I want you to draw a clear line between you and the Sima family!"
"As the future emperor, you can't have weaknesses!"
"I'm helping you!"
Xia Tian's will is extremely firm: "If my father takes action against Lan'er, I will take action against Princess Sirius!"
"You dare to disobey me?"
"yes!"
"Aren't you afraid that I will kill you?"
"Hehehe..."
Xia Tian smiled!
"Father needs sons and ministers!"
"The Great Xia Empire also needs sons and ministers!"
Emperor Xia was speechless and helpless!
"Father, as long as you hand over the military power and the military department to your son, I will make sure that the Sirius Empire, the Blackman Empire, and the Barbarian Empire are defeated this time, and I will keep Daxia safe!"
"snort......"
Emperor Xia's temptation ended here. He turned around, picked up the military talisman from the desk, and put it directly into a jade box: "I have handed over the government to you. If I hand over the military power to you again, I, the emperor, will probably abdicate!"
"I will immediately appoint Li Jian as the marshal of the Northern Army and head to the north to deal with the barbarian army!"
"As for the position of Minister of the Ministry of War, I will take the lead first. When the right person is selected, I will put down the military talisman!"
The emperor is extremely smart!
All powers can be delegated, except military power!
However, he still took a step back: "Qingzhou faces the Black Man Empire, so I will hand over the military power of Qingzhou to you!"
"From now on, you will lead Huangzhou and Qingzhou to fight against the Sirius army and the Black Man army!"
"According to the order!"
Li Jian finally went to the north to take charge.
He finally got the military power in Qingzhou!
Perfect!
"Go down!"
"yes!"
Xia Tian exits the royal study and leaves the palace quickly!
At this time.
In the royal study.
Emperor Xia's face turned cold, and he walked to Eunuch Wei and said, "Old man, arrange for someone to assassinate Sima Lan!"
"If you fail, I will kill you!"
"yes!"
Eunuch Wei was sweating on his forehead!
Shortly after.
The entrance to the palace.
Xia Tian said solemnly: "Send a message to the Crown Princess, watch out for the assassin!"
"The emperor wants to attack her!"
"yes!"
Immediately afterwards.
Li Jian left the imperial capital and rushed to Northern Xinjiang with his personal guards!
Xia Tian took Sima Jian, the imperial censor, the third prince, and the fifth prince to start handling the heavy court affairs!
Time flies, fifteen days later.
To the west of Yinshan Mountain.
Sirius Army Camp!
"Report..."
The commander of the Imperial Army of the Sirius Empire burst into the commander's tent with a joyful face and held a secret letter: "Your Majesty, the princess's secret letter has finally arrived!"
"Bring it here quickly!"
Emperor Sirius was looking forward to it: "It must be good news!"
"Order the three armies to prepare to march!"
"yes!"
Then.
When Emperor Sirius opened the secret message, his expression changed drastically!
I saw a few big words written on the letter: "Your daughter is in my hands..."
