The system forced me to be emperor

The champion Hou laughed and said: "Last time when we talked about morality, intelligence, physical beauty and labor, His Highness is outstanding in both moral and physical aspects. As for intelligence, His Highness can come up with a plan to flood the Muye pasture with just a topographical map, so his intelligence also passes the test." .And His Highness is good at everything, labor is not a problem. So there is only one beauty, which needs to be studied."

When Xiao Rui heard it, he was dissatisfied: "Master Hou, my handsome face is not considered beautiful? How do you let other men live?"

"Ahem..." Zhuge Yuanba squirted out a sip of tea, but luckily he was far away, otherwise he would squirt Xiao Rui all over his face.

Then he glared at Xiao Rui, his eyes seemed to ask: Are you shameless?

Xiao Rui returned him with a rebellious expression. In his opinion, the best thing about him is beauty among morality, intelligence, body, and beauty. His damned appearance is so handsome that he always wakes up in the middle of the night and looks at himself in the mirror. Roar: Why are you so handsome!

Compared with Zhuge Yuanba's rudeness, he looked at Champion Hou and nodded in approval: "Your Highness is handsome and handsome, with outstanding appearance, and has inherited His Majesty's martial and heroic demeanor."

What he said not only praised Xiao Rui, but also flattered Xia Huang, no wonder he can become the champion of the three armies, while Zhuge Yuanba can only be the commander.

"However, when I say beauty, I don't mean the appearance, but the beauty of the country." Champion Hou explained: "As a prince, His Highness is naturally higher than ordinary people. And His Highness’s aesthetics lies in the mountains and rivers. The wind and rain in the Great Xia are smooth and the mountains and rivers are beautiful, and the people live and work in peace and prosperity, this is the pursuit! As the prince of the Great Xia, the dragon son of His Majesty, what do you think you can do for the Great Xia?”

Xiao Rui was taken aback, he didn't expect Champion Hou to ask such a sensitive topic.

Zhuge Yuanba looked at his elder brother and understood what he meant by asking these words.

If I want to support Xiao Rui as the crown prince, he is also on this boat, so now he is not asking questions for choosing a son-in-law, but for Zhuge's family choosing a master!

He wants to see if Xiao Rui is worthy of the Zhuge family's great help, whether it is worth supporting the Zhuge family's survival.

Xiao Rui was silent, he moved his lips but didn't speak, because he really didn't know how to answer Champion Hou.

"Your Highness, tell us what you really think. We guarantee that only the two of us know what you say. Even if it is a big treason, we guarantee that it will never be revealed! I swear by the glory of the Zhuge family!" Zhuge Yuanba comforted.

Xiao Rui hesitated for a moment, and smiled wryly: "It's not that I don't want to say it, because I think it's unrealistic to say it. After all, if you want to do something for Daxia's future, you must have a high enough position! If I can't do it Prince, then I am committed to being a virtuous king, a virtuous person! I don’t want to benefit Daxia, but I hope to be worthy of my status. If the prince can’t tolerate me, then I will settle down and govern a state or a government well. And have no regrets."

"Then what if he is the prince?" Champion Hou asked.

Xiao Rui smiled and said: "I once read a passage in an ancient book, and I admire it very much. The sentence is written like this: No marriage, no compensation, no land, no tribute, the emperor guards the gate, and the king dies. Once The Great Xia was bullied and even lost half of its territory. After my father ascended the throne, he worked hard and devoted all his energy to make the weak Great Xia come back to life. He was no longer afraid of the surrounding powers. Paying tribute. If I were the crown prince, I must follow the example of my father, take this old saying as a warning, follow in my father's footsteps, and lead Great Xia to greater glory."

Champion Hou and Zhuge Yuanba suddenly stood in awe.

"The emperor guards the gate of the country, and the king dies in the country!" The champion Hou murmured, and for some reason, when he read this sentence, it was not domineering but desolate.

Xiao Rui also felt his nose sour, and his heart was deeply touched. He thought of the Ming Dynasty in the long years of his previous life.

The Ming Dynasty started from the war, and the emperor Zhu Yuanzhang became the emperor to guard the country. After sixteen emperors, he finally Chongzhen.Even though the country's gates were broken, Emperor Chongzhen did not escape, and finally fulfilled the king's promise to die in Sheji.

Time is like quicksand, and it is hard to get back after passing through the fingers, but at the same time, time has also recorded this glorious history for us.

Every time he touches the handwriting imprinted in the history of the Ming Dynasty, the years of the strong empire emerge in Xiao Rui's mind, and he also warns himself, what is perseverance, what is pride, and similarly, how such a prosperous empire is going to destruction of.

Therefore, if he becomes a prince, or even becomes an emperor, Xiao Rui feels that this passage is a warning to himself.

If you can't sweep the heaven and earth and rule the world, then protect the country and protect the country with your life!

Chapter 196: I Dreamed in the God Realm

In the hall, the champion Hou remained silent for a long time, infected by the majestic and bleak oath.He has been fighting outside all year round, and he can better understand the courage of the emperor to guard the country and the king to die.

At this time, Zhuge Yuanba continued to ask: "His Royal Highness, if in the future you inherit the great rule and you have to go to war with the Great Zhao Kingdom and the Great Qi Kingdom at the same time, what will you do?"

"If it is necessary to go to war, why not destroy it without dividing it?" Xiao Rui asked.

Champion Hou came back to his senses and explained: "Your Highness does not know that the Great Zhao Kingdom and the Great Qi Kingdom have a blood relationship, and the royal families of the two countries often form alliances. The relationship between uncle and nephew! Therefore, when one country is in trouble, the other country will inevitably come to the rescue. Da Zhao and Da Qi are surrounded by other countries. If they do not adopt this method, once their national strength weakens, they will be eaten away by the surrounding powers, just like Da Zhao Yan State, eagerly wants to form an alliance with our Great Xia State! This is why His Majesty led the troops to the west and fought the Great Zhao State like a dog in mourning. But in the end, the Great Qi State attacked Great Xia and our hinterland, forcing His Majesty to return to defense. It failed to destroy the Great Zhao Kingdom!"

Xiao Rui nodded, and said without hesitation: "If a war must be fought, I have to delay it until I have enough confidence. I can't risk the fate of the Great Xia Kingdom, the people and soldiers!"

"It's difficult!" Zhuge Yuanba sighed, and said, "Your Highness, I can tell you clearly that with the current national strength of the Great Xia Kingdom, it is impossible to wage war against the Great Zhao Kingdom and the Great Qi Kingdom at the same time and win them! Unless The national strength of the Great Xia Kingdom has doubled again!"

"That's right!" Champion Hou had a better understanding of Xia's national strength, and he could see more clearly whether he could start a war.

"What's so difficult about it? Vigorously develop the economy and double the national strength of the Great Xia Kingdom. Nothing is difficult in the world, as long as there is a heart!" Xiao Rui said confidently.

Champion Hou shook his head and said directly: "Your Highness, you have never governed a country, so you know how difficult it is to double the national power! These years, the weather has been smooth in summer, and you have not reached this level. Do you feel that your means, Will His Majesty be wise? Talking about war on paper will not work! Empty talk will harm the country!"

Zhuge Yuanba nodded, and added: "Don't be self-righteous! Especially when it comes to governing the country! King Xian, you are a very stable person. Keep this advantage and don't fall into blindness and arrogance! This is a big taboo!"

Seeing the two admonishing himself, Xiao Rui sighed and couldn't help but said: "Master Hou, Uncle Yuanba, it's not that I'm proud of thinking that I'm better than my father, I know it well, but what I mean Doubling or even more national strength is not a simple light taxation, nor is it promoting agriculture or lowering business taxes, but reforming the production structure! Now the production methods and types of Daxia Kingdom are too old and need to be changed! Increase, Boost your productivity!"

Champion Hou and Zhuge Yuanba frowned, they didn't understand what Xiao Rui said, Champion Hou said: "You want to reform? The matter of reform is no small matter, if you don't have sufficient preparation, don't proceed!"

"That's right! You have to understand that the reform will bring about turmoil in the court system!" Zhuge Yuanba also reminded.

Xiao Rui was a little speechless. This has something to do with the reform. The reform is to harm the interests of the family and officials. For example, most of the fertile land in the world is in their hands. The reform is to take away the fertile land from them and divide it into the common people. Their money is like robbing their wives. Naturally, the aristocratic family will resist, and it is no wonder that the reform is successful.

But what Xiao Rui said about changing the production structure was completely different!For example, farmers do not need to be farm laborers to earn enough money to eat and drink enough. There is no one to farm for the aristocratic family, and the land is barren. After a long time, the imperial court will take it into national ownership, and there will be very little resistance.

At this time, Champion Hou said again: "Your Highness, even if the method you mentioned is successful and the national strength is doubled, it will not be easy to defeat Da Zhao and Da Qi! After all, a huge population and combat power are required!"

"I understand, but when our methods exceed the enemy's imagination, our combat effectiveness will no longer be determined by the number of people. At that time, let alone the Great Qi and Great Zhao, we will not be afraid of the Six Nations Alliance! So I It was only when we said we had to prepare, wait until we are ready!" Xiao Rui said confidently.

Champion Hou frowned deeply, glanced at Zhuge Yuanba, and said, "Your Highness, the Six Nations Alliance is so powerful that it cannot be defeated with words!"

At this moment, Champion Hou felt that Xiao Rui was too proud, even outrageously arrogant, a little conceited.This is not a good thing. Once such a person becomes a prince or even an emperor, there will definitely be big problems!

Zhuge Yuanba was about to speak, Xiao Rui already understood the voice-over of Champion Hou, so he smiled and asked back: "Master Hou, Uncle Yuanba, have you ever seen a kind of black powder, which can be ignited, and it can open mountains and crack rocks?" The power? An iron ball the size of a skull is filled with black powder, and its explosive power can severely damage all enemies standing within two feet? You heard it right, all enemies within the range!"

"Have you ever seen a crossbow with ten, twenty, or even fifty arrows?"

"Have you ever seen an ocean-going treasure ship with a length of 44 feet and a width of [-] feet? It can conquer the rough seas, and it is more advanced than the most advanced sea-going ships in the Great Xia Kingdom today?"

"Have you ever seen a weapon called "Cannon", which is more than ten feet long and functions like a trebuchet. It can fire shells, but its power is countless times that of a trebuchet. It is easy to operate, small in size and easy to transport. Can a carriage be operated by two people?"

"Have you ever heard of firecrackers? Take people's lives from five feet away? Even if you are a sixth-rank master, you will be beaten into a sieve!"

"Have you ever heard of a steam engine?"

......

Xiao Rui spoke leisurely and eloquently, but Champion Hou and Zhuge Yuanba were already dumbfounded, they couldn't understand what Xiao Rui was talking about at all!

It seems to be talking about unconstrained fantasy!

How could there be those babies in this world?

"Your Highness, are you daydreaming? How much did you drink before you came here?" Zhuge Yuanba couldn't help asking.

Xiao Rui smiled even more, put on the magic stick, and said leisurely: "Of course I didn't drink alcohol, and I'm not talking nonsense. You don't know, I once dreamed about the world of gods and saw these artifacts. The reason why they didn't appear is because Our productivity is low, so we can’t make it! But there is nothing difficult in the world, as long as there is a heart, when we have such a magic weapon, we will face the Great Zhao Kingdom and the Great Qi Kingdom. If we have to go to war, we must go to war. Exterminating them is like trampling ants to death! At that time, our Great Xia army will definitely become a crushing force, sweeping Liuhe!"

After a pause, Xiao Rui got up and cupped his hands and said: "I know that saying these words suddenly is like a tower in the air, illusory, and the two seniors think it can't be normal, but I, Xiao Rui, the seventh prince of the Great Xia, was granted the title of King Xian, with personality And identity guarantee, the content of what I said is not false, and the artifacts and treasures I said will definitely be presented in my hands!"

With the system in hand, plus the probability of making a wish with the wish value, Xiao Rui believes that gunpowder, artillery, Zhuge Liannu, treasure ships of the Ming Dynasty and so on are impossible to appear in this era, and there will always be a day when they will be available!

And potatoes, corn, sweet potatoes, peppers...
