Chapter 9 The Aspirations of the Desolate Prince
Xia Tian shook his head.
He only knows that Sima Lan is the most beautiful woman in Great Xia and ranks third in the ranking of beauties in the world.
"Hey hey hey..."
There was an evil fire in the prince's eyes: "Ninth brother, you are such 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 had a "fire-fighting" expression on his face, which seemed a bit mean: "Ninth brother, after the end of every winter, the Tianlang army from Tiandiao Prefecture will rush into Dahuang Prefecture to rob food and people."
"As long as you sit obediently in Dahuangzhou, you will definitely see the most beautiful woman in the world."
"Legend has it that Huyan Duo'er, the most beautiful woman in the world, 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 looks so handsome, maybe he will become the consort!"
"You can let her take care of you!"
The prince wants to use the pain of Dahuangzhou to stimulate Xia Tian.
Did he glance at Sima Lan in the distance? Jealousy was 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 beats the snake with the stick: "The bet is established!"
"Brother Prince, I'm waiting for the day when you eat stone lions!"
The prince was choked and had nothing to say.
"Cough cough cough..."
Xia Tian asked with a concerned look: "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 is not opened and lifted?
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 didn't care, I would be 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, has a crown prince and two concubines, but 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: "Xiao Axe, 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 his daughter Sima Lan to Prince Huang in marriage. As a father, I should come to see them off!"
"Your 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 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 expectation of all 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 his knife 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 a powerful prince.
The Sima family will also work diligently for the emperor.
For the emperor, this was a plan to kill two birds with one stone.
No matter what the Sima family chooses?
The emperor is a winner!
at this time.
The prince had a flattering look on his face: "It's 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 provoking: "But Dahuang Prefecture 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 ministers block it, then they are rebelling against the decree!"
"If this is the case, I'm afraid the minister's head will be at risk!"
The prince looked embarrassed: "Of course you can't resist the decree!"
"Of course not!"
At this time.
Xia Xiacai bowed his hands and said, "Xiao Wang has met Prime Minister Zuo."
Sima Jian hurriedly returned the salute: "How can any prince salute a young minister first... I see 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 the prince my regards, and say hello to the three royal sisters-in-law 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 became sweet, and he sprayed it into the carriage, shouting suppressedly: "Xia Meiren!"
A graceful black figure appeared outside the car window. 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 stunned: "Prince, if we take action immediately...will our previous plan be invalidated?"
"Voided!"
The prince drew his sword and waved it, gritting his teeth and said: "I can't wait any longer! I just want him to go to the underworld as quickly as possible!"
The graceful figure agreed with some embarrassment!
"yes!"
"I will immediately re-formulate the assassination plan!"
After a while, the prince's carriage drove out of the dim city gate.
There was no one outside the car window.
Everything just now seemed to be an illusion.
the other side.
In front of the city gate.
Sima Jian still 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 face was full of shyness, and she glared at Xia Tian coquettishly.
Sima Jian was stunned: "A good 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 want to know... why do you want to anger the prince?"
Xia Tian smiled faintly: "The prince must have arranged the means to kill me on my way to Dahuang State."
"If I can irritate him so much that he can't help but mess up... it will be in my best interest."
"Hahaha......"
Sima Jian touched the three strands of beard under his forehead with an admiring look on his face: "It seems that the prince not only knows the military, but also understands the military."
"He is also well versed in the art of war."
"Now, I will 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 Prefecture, 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: "Your Majesty, please 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 Prefecture!"
"I will definitely establish my foothold in Dahuang State!"
"good!"
Sima Jian thought for a while and then asked thoughtfully: "My lord, what is your ambition?"
Xia Tian put his hands behind his back, looked up into the void, his figure was like a sword, and said loudly: "Establish a heart for the heaven and earth, establish a destiny for the people, inherit the unique knowledge for the past saints, and create peace for all generations!"
This land has the same Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors period as in Chinese history.
There are the same periods in Chinese history as the Xia Dynasty, Shang Dynasty, Zhou Dynasty, Spring and Autumn Period, Warring States Period, and Qin Dynasty.
But after the Qin Dynasty, it was not the Han Dynasty, but the current Xia Dynasty.
The literati of Daxia liked poetry and songs.
However, there are none of the masterpieces handed down from China over the past five thousand years.
When it comes to determination, these "four actions" are enough to shock the world and make ghosts and gods weep.
Sima Jian and Sima Lan felt as if four nuclear bombs had been dropped in their minds, and their souls were shocked.
He has such a big heart and wants to be a saint?
Or do you want to be an emperor?
At this time.
Sima Jian's eyes flashed with light: "What a great ambition!"
"Your Majesty is really hiding his secrets!"
He didn't say much more, but just warned: "Lan'er, help the prince to take over the Great Wilderness State."
"If you encounter difficulties, send a message directly to your home and my father will make arrangements."
Sima Lan woke up with a start: "Yes!"
"Father, take care of yourself!"
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!"
"The truth is waiting for you in the imperial capital with good news!"
Xia Tian held up his hands and saluted: "I have sent you a thousand miles away, but I have to say goodbye in the end!"
"Uncle Sima, please wait for the good news!"
"I will definitely take good care of Miss Sima and live up to the Sima family!"
Sima Jian calmly turned around and left, looking into the void, his heart surging: "Establish a heart for the heaven and earth, establish a destiny for the people, carry on the unique knowledge for the past saints, and create peace for all generations... The world has misjudged the Ninth Prince!"
