Waste prince: Why do you force me to be emperor?

at this time.

"Hoohoohoo..."

The biting north wind blew up and down, blowing the snowflakes in the sky. What did it seem to be expressing?

The palace has long been a world of ice and snow!

The Emperor of Daxia was in front, and Xia Tian was behind. Facing the biting north wind, they walked into the newly renovated enshrinement hall one after another without saying anything.

The enshrinement hall was destroyed during Zhang Shu's last rebellion. It had just been renovated, and the hall was still full of "fresh" paint smell!

Entering the main hall, summer suddenly feels cold and cold!

The enshrinement hall gives people a gloomy feeling.

Xia Tian narrowed his eyes!

now.

Emperor Xia kept walking until he reached the bottom of the worship hall and stretched out his hand towards a golden horse!

That's a mechanism!

It is the mechanism leading to the gate of Jixia Academy!

However, Emperor Xia held the golden horse in his big hand but did not move it.

I saw him staring at the golden horse with complicated eyes, as if his soul was struggling!

There was a hint of evil in the corner of his mouth: "Father, is this golden horse a mechanism button?"

"Father, do you think that the border has been peaceful and your sons and ministers are useless?"

The worship hall is very empty, and there are echoes of Xia Tian's words!

"of course not!"

I saw Emperor Xia's eyes condensed, as if he had made some kind of decision, he retracted his hand and turned around, smiling extremely unnaturally: "I asked you to come here because I originally wanted to give you this golden horse!"

"But you have made a great contribution to defeating the three empires this time. If I only give you a golden horse, it is not enough to recognize your contribution!"

"Everything in this hall is full of treasures. Tell me what you like!"

"Except for this golden horse, I can reward you with everything!"

“It turns out it’s not an agency!!”

Xia Tian pretended to be disappointed, walked around the enshrinement hall lightly, walked back to Emperor Xia and said, "Father, I have fallen in love with this golden horse!"

"No!"

Emperor Xia's face froze: "Actually, you are right!"

"This golden horse is not only a treasure, but also a switch for His Highness's secret passage. If it is given to you, the secret passage will never be opened again!"

"Father, I just said it casually. I never thought that this golden horse is really a secret tunnel mechanism!"

The corner of Xia Tian's mouth became even more evil: "What a huge coincidence!"

"is it?"

Emperor Xia stared into Xia Tian's eyes with a searching look on his face: "There is not only a secret passage under this palace, but also a mysterious place called Jixia Underground Palace!"

"Didn't your mother-in-law tell you?"

"Never!"

"In the palace, if you know too many secrets, you will die young!"

"Right!"

"If I really didn't tell you, then it's probably your mother and concubine who wants to protect you!"

When he thought of Concubine Qin, Emperor Xia became a little agitated: "Since you don't like anything, I will just pick some treasures and give them to you. You can go back and deal with government affairs first!"

"Yes!"

"My son retire!"

Xia Tian turned around and walked out of the worship hall!

at last.

Emperor Xia couldn't help but ask: "Prince, I ask again... is there an elixir of immortality in this world?"

"no!"

Xia Tian stopped outside the palace door: "If there really is an elixir of immortality in the world, then there would already be immortal people, beasts, or other life forms!"

"So even if there is an elixir of immortality in the world, it's not that easy to get!"

At this time.

Emperor Xia also walked out of the palace: "I ask again, can people really not live forever?"

"Even if you practice martial arts to reach the realm of land gods, won't it work?"

Xia Tian fell into deep thought!

a long time.

He said noncommittally: "Heaven and earth have time rules. Whether it is human or other life, there will be life and death in the passing time. If the rules of time cannot be broken, there should be no immortal people!"

"is it?"

Emperor Xia raised his eyelids: "So if you want to live forever, you have to break the rules of heaven and earth and ignore time?"

"Yes!"

"Is the legendary elixir of immortality the magic medicine that breaks the rules of heaven and earth and ignores time?"

Xia Tian is noncommittal!

"Father, do you really want to live and die forever?"

"Yes!"

"Want to become a fairy?"

"Yes!"

"This is not only my father's idea, all emperors in the past dynasties have the wish to live forever!"

Emperor Xia looked at the boundless world and said: "I am already the emperor of Great Xia. If I want a kingdom, I will have a beautiful woman. If I want beautiful clothes and food, I will have endless rich clothes and food. I have everything and want nothing!"

"Standing at the pinnacle of power, I feel empty and lonely!"

"I have read the "Notes on Daily Life" written by kings of all dynasties. Their hearts are also empty, lonely, and cold!"

"As emperors, their final pursuit is immortality!"

"So, my father is no exception!"

After saying that, everything fell silent in front of the enshrining hall!

at last.

Xia Tian spoke: "Father, isn't it the goal to govern the Great Xia Empire into the most powerful country in the mainland?"

"no!"

"No matter how strong a country is, it will eventually decline. Even if I work hard, it will be useless if future generations don't work hard!"

"Isn't it the goal to let the people of Daxia live a better life?"

"no!"

"This is a world where the jungle prevails. If everyone lives a good life, who will live a miserable life?"

"I?"

"Is it still my royal family, the Xia family?"

Emperor Xia said seriously: "Prince, I was also young. I know that when I was young, I was always full of enthusiasm and had unachievable goals. I always had to hit the south wall before I could look back, and I always had to fall down before I could understand the world. the truth!"

"Just like if you want to kill all the bad guys in the world, how can you possibly do it?"

"Although you have wiped out the bandit family and killed countless evil bandits in the world, but now look at... there are still evil bandits in Kyushu, how can you kill them all?"

"Father's words are bad!"

Xia Tian stopped being cautious and retorted directly: "When doing things, you usually seek the top to get the middle, and the bottom to get the bottom. If you look for the bottom, you won't get anything!"

"My son knows that in troubled times, bandits will spring up like mushrooms after a spring rain, and it is impossible to kill them all!"

"But I issued the "Order to Kill Bandits" and I vowed to kill all the evil bandits in the world. I want to protect the goodness in the world and kill the evil in the world. I will kill as many as I can!"

"Because killing evil means protecting goodness!"

Xia Tian's words were sonorous and powerful, and his voice carried far away with the north wind, as if he wanted to spread these words throughout the continent.

Seeing the awe-inspiring righteousness on Xia Tian's face, Emperor Xia's eyes flashed and he murmured: "Killing evil means protecting kindness..."

"well said!"

Xia Tian then said: "Father, you actually know that immortality is hard to find, but you still try your best to find the elixir of immortality. Even if there is no news about the fleet sent to sea to seek immortality, you are still waiting full of hope. Yes ?"

"Didn't you also hit the wall and not look back?"

"Aren't you also conflicted?"

Emperor Xia took a deep breath: "...Maybe everyone in the world is conflicted!"

“If you don’t get what you ask for, the more unwilling you will be!”

Xia Tian said: "Because people's hearts are never satisfied, what they can't get will always be missed, and what they can't get is always the best!"

Suddenly, Emperor Xia's mood waned and he was a little depressed: "Go back and deal with government affairs!"

"I feel relieved to have you supervising the country!"

"Yes!

"But from today on, all matters related to Jiangshan Sheji must be reported to me truthfully and must not be concealed!"

"Yes!"

Emperor Xia said meaningfully: "I can also act!"

"I can bear the reputation of lying!"

"understand!"

A smile appeared on Xia Tian's lips: "I understand, my son!"

"Go!"

"There are many state affairs and busy government affairs, so you still have to pay attention to rest!"

"Yes!"

Xia Xia thought for a moment, and then said: "Father, if you can't find the elixir of immortality... you will make the Great Xia Empire stronger so that the Great Xia Empire will not be bullied by other countries in the mainland!"

Emperor Xia closed his eyes: "What else do you want to say?"

"Have!"

"The night before the king of Huangzhou was granted the throne, my son almost froze to death in front of the imperial study. At that time, there were rumors in the emperor that my father suspected that my son was not your biological son, so he killed me with a borrowed knife. Is this true?"

"no!"

Emperor Xia's expression changed: "The rumors are unbelievable. They are just trying to drive a wedge between father and son of our Tian family!"

"is it?"

Xia Tian asked curiously: "Then who did the father suspect to be... the father of my son?"

Suddenly, veins popped out on Emperor Xia's neck!

His anger seemed to burst out...
