Chapter 2 Marriage to a Great Beauty
now.
Xia Tian clenched his fists and sensed the condition of his body... Although he was thin, he had muscles and was a polished martial arts body.
Not only that, this body is also born with divine power!
Now, with the soul of the King of Soldiers and a body with natural divine power, the future is promising.
Strength can bring people a sense of security.
This is a troubled world in the age of cold weapons.
On this land, there are countless countries. Strong countries are respected, weak countries are enslaved, and wars continue, which vividly demonstrates the law of the jungle.
At this time.
Concubine Qin held Xia Tian's hand tightly, fearing that Xia Tian's resurrection was an illusion.
However, my son's hands are getting warmer and warmer.
She smiled with tears in her eyes: "Tian'er, I scared my mother to death!"
Xia Tian clasped her hands behind her back, her palms warm as mother and son: "Don't be afraid, mother, I won't die that easily."
"In the palace, you will be called concubine."
Xia Tian was not used to it: "Yes, concubine."
At this time.
"Huhuhu..."
The north wind blew harder, and the snow in the sky was like goose feathers.
An old eunuch with gray hair walked out of the imperial study, with a respectful expression and a sharp voice: "The emperor has a decree to invite Concubine Qin, the prince, and the ninth prince to meet in the imperial study."
"According to the order!"
...
Royal study room.
A middle-aged man wearing a crown and a dragon robe sat on a dragon chair. His face was full of majesty, and under his thick eyebrows, a pair of tiger eyes stared at Xia Tian with a complex expression.
This person is none other than the Emperor of Great Xia—Xia Zhou.
"My son, please see your father!"
Emperor Xia Zhou pondered for a moment and asked: "Tian'er, do you resent your father?"
Xia Tian shook his head: "I don't hate it!"
"Why?"
"The king, the king, the ministers, the father, the son, the son. If the king wants the minister to die, the minister has to die. If the father wants the son to die, the son is willing to die!"
There was no emotion on Emperor Xia's face: "Among all the princes, Tian'er studies in the library all day long. He reads the most, is sensible, and speaks elegantly. My father is very pleased."
"But...Tian'er, if my father asks you to commit suicide immediately, will you dare to die?"
Concubine Qin was shocked!
The prince is overjoyed... This scoundrel will be clean only after he dies!
Xia Tian did not hesitate, kicked off his feet, and rushed towards the golden dragon pillar next to him, lowering his head like a bull.
"Bang......"
He did not hit the golden dragon pillar.
Instead, he hit the palm of the old eunuch's hand. His impact was blocked and he took three steps back.
The old eunuch glanced at the historian next to him who was about to write a book, and said quickly: "Ninth Prince, please don't be reckless. Your Majesty does not mean this."
Xia Tian's bet was won!
If he was forced to spill his blood in the imperial study, Emperor Xia's reputation for "benevolence and righteousness" would be ruined, and the infamy of being forced to kill his son would be recorded in the history books.
"Nonsense!"
Emperor Xia said with regret: "Tian'er, I just asked you casually, why are you so reckless?"
"This old guy is right, that's not what I meant."
At this time.
Xia Tian returned to Emperor Xia, and with a frightened look on his face, he took the initiative to mention the royal decree: "Father, I just want to accompany my father and mother and concubine in the palace. I don't want to be the king of Huangzhou. Please take back my life!"
Emperor Xia's face froze, and he looked at the historian next to him, with deep helplessness hidden in his eyes: "Nonsense!"
"You have no joke!"
"Folks say sixteen becomes a man. You are already sixteen, so you are considered an adult."
"According to royal rules, you should enter the fiefdom at the age of sixteen and guard the land of Daxia for your father."
"I am naming you the king of Huangzhou. I am not asking you to enjoy the blessings, but to guard Huangzhou and guard the western gate of our Great Xia Kingdom."
"Let's set off tomorrow!"
The historian wrote: On June 6, the 20th year of the Kaiyuan year of the Great Xia Dynasty, Emperor Xia named his ninth son Xia the Great Wilderness King, and ordered him to set off for the fiefdom to "join the country" on June 7th, the 20th year of the Great Xia Dynasty.
Concubine Qin and Xia Tian both breathed a sigh of relief.
Now that the open shot has been avoided, if you guard against the hidden arrow, you can go to Huangzhou alive.
Until then, the sky will be high enough for birds to fly, and the sea wide enough for fish to leap.
If the emperor and the prince wanted to kill him... it would not be as easy as in the imperial city!
The prince's face turned pale and he said unwillingly: "No..."
As soon as he uttered a word, he was interrupted by Emperor Xia: "Prince, you go down and change first. It is not appropriate for a majestic prince to enter the royal study in wet clothes."
The prince felt a chill in his heart, knowing that Emperor Xia didn't like the smell of urine on his body.
I don't like his timidity even more.
Suddenly.
The prince's neck shrunk and he did not dare to say another word. He bowed and retreated: "My son, please leave!"
At this time.
Concubine Qin looked pitiful and said: "Your Majesty, according to the ancestral line, Tian'er should first build a palace in the imperial capital and select the best talents from all over the world to help."
"It usually takes half a year to select talents. If we leave tomorrow...is it too hasty?"
In the Great Xia Dynasty, as long as they were titled princes, they had the right to open a palace and establish a family, and the three divisions of the same rites.
What is Kaifu?
It is to establish the prince's official office on the prince's fiefdom, just like a small court. It can recruit officials, appoint officials and report it to the central court for record.
The prince's fiefdom was managed by this small court, and taxes were also collected by it.
What is dental implants?
It means establishing an army directly under the prince, with a number of no more than 3,000 people, under the direct command of the prince, and the roster is reported to the central court for record.
Therefore, the prince is the local emperor in the fiefdom.
rich!
Have the right!
Powerful!
"Hahaha......"
Emperor Xia forced a smile on his face: "What the noble concubine said makes sense!"
"However, Huangzhou just sent a military report. The Sirius Empire's border troops are gathering at the border and may attack Huangzhou City at any time."
"The military situation is urgent. Tian'er should go to the fiefdom and open a mansion again!"
This was Emperor Xia's conspiracy, and Xia Xia had to accept it.
If his fief is captured by the Sirius Kingdom, he will become a prince without a fief. A mere commander, he will definitely die!
However, this is exactly what Xia Tian wants.
"My son, take your orders!"
Xia Tian was happy in his heart, but his face was full of reluctance: "My son will leave for Huangzhou tomorrow morning."
Emperor Xia looked pleased: "Very good!"
"Since Tian'er has been crowned king, he should be rewarded with a thousand taels of gold, ten thousand taels of silver, a hundred bolts of silk and satin, and a thousand bolts of cloth."
"I will order your brother, the crown prince, to allocate a thousand troops to protect you, so that you can successfully defeat the Sirius army and protect your fiefdom."
Emperor Xia said it nicely!
However, when a prince "comes to the country" and does not provide resources according to the ancestral system, he only gives some gold, silver and cloth... Emperor Xia is considered the first person in ancient and modern times.
The historian looked at Emperor Xia strangely and wrote: Emperor Xia Zhou did not like the ninth prince Xia Tian. He did not deal with the prince according to the ancestral system of the country and only rewarded him with a small amount of property. King Huangzhou was destined to become the poorest prince among the eight princes.
"Thank you, Father, for the reward!"
Xia Tian didn't say anything more: "I have been preparing to salute all night. I will order troops directly outside the west city gate tomorrow morning and lead the army to Huangzhou City."
At this time.
Concubine Qin said: "Your Majesty, you promised my concubine that day in the Qin Feng Palace... that you would marry Sima Lan to Tian'er!"
"Since Tian'er has been crowned king, according to the ancestral system, Sima Lan will be the future Princess of Huangzhou!"
Emperor Xia's face darkened, and he spoke reluctantly after a while: "Tian'er, my father is so beautiful as a man, he will immediately issue an order to marry the most beautiful woman in Great Xia to you!"
"Not only that... Since Huangzhou is far away from the imperial capital, I will ask Sima Lan to go with you to relieve your lovesickness. When we arrive at Huangzhou City, you will get married immediately!"
"ah?"
Xia Tian was surprised!
This black-hearted emperor is obviously unwilling to let Sima Lan marry him!
Why are you so kind-hearted all of a sudden to worry about your marriage?
