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

Chapter 425 Master Taishan's Purpose

at this time.

The fighting intent exuded from Xia Tian's body was astonishing, as if it was about to pierce through the roof and go straight into the sky.

That is the fearless fighting spirit that only those who have experienced countless bloody battles can possess.

In the study room, there was a moment of silence.

"Hahaha......"

Sima Jian stroked the three strands of green beard under his forehead, and laughed loudly: "Okay! Very good!"

"As expected of Meier liking you once."

"A child like you deserves to be liked by their sisters!"

Sima Jian breathed out the depression in his chest: "This time, you shocked the world in the first battle in the barren state. Although you have given credit to the imperial court, it is exciting to honor my 20 years of national humiliation."

"Come on, the old man, as the left minister of the imperial court, replaces wine with tea, and presents you with a toast!"

Looking at Sima Jian's arrogance, Xia Tian was not pretentious, and took a sip of hot tea: "My son-in-law once said, those who violate my territory - kill!"

"My son-in-law just did what a great Xia prince should do."

Seeing that Xia Tian was neither humble nor overbearing, Sima Jian's eyes became more appreciative, and he said with emotion: "If all the ministers of Da Xia are like you, why worry that Da Xia is not strong!"

Speaking of this, a look of loneliness appeared in his eyes: "Unfortunately, except for a few people such as Li Taiwei, there are no courageous people in the court."

"Back then, when the Qin Dynasty destroyed the Eight Kingdoms, I watched your grandfather act with iron and blood, and liked to stop killing with killing, so he led the Sima family to hide from the world, and kept his family safe and secure to become a rich man, guarding the wealth of his ancestors. He never thought of becoming an official. "

"Later, the Great Xia Dynasty replaced the Qin Dynasty. When your father came to power, he was a corporal who was a virtuous corporal. He didn't kill people. He won the favor of the people in the world, married your mother and concubine, and completed the transition of power."

"At the beginning, your father came to invite the old man to come out of the mountain. He looked sincere and had great ambitions. He wanted to build Daxia into the most powerful empire in the world."

"This is in line with the old man's ambition!'

"The old man felt his sincerity and went out to become Prime Minister Zuo of the Great Xia Dynasty. He also helped him reassure the hearts of the world's aristocratic families and laid the foundation of the Great Xia Dynasty in the shortest possible time!"

Xia Tian didn't interrupt, just listened quietly.

Because Sima Jian was laying the groundwork.

Sima Jian continued: "After Daxia established the country, your father still had great ambitions at that time, and wanted to make Daxia's national power stronger through reforms."

"It's a pity that the people in the court are complicated, and the relationship between various in-laws, teachers and students is constantly being cut, and the reasoning is still chaotic, so the reform cannot be carried out."

"All the ministers in the court form cliques, fight internally for experts, and externally for outsiders. As long as their own interests are involved, they will take risks and prevent the implementation of the imperial court's decrees."

"The central court is even more divided from the local governments, and the government orders are not smooth, causing the country's power to decline rapidly!"

"Later, your father adopted the enfeoffment system, entrusting the princes to nine provinces and guarding one side for the imperial court. I hope this will make the government order smoother."

"However, apart from the nine sons of the Holy Majesty, except you who have been forbearing in the palace these years, the other eight princes are all unbearable people. They all want to be princes because they are incompetent. The internal friction is more serious."

"Now, the Great Xia Dynasty has exhausted the national power left by the former Qin Dynasty and has become the weakest empire on this continent."

Sima Jian walked to the door of the study, looked in the direction of the palace and sighed: "And these years, your father has been obsessed with the matter of immortality, so he emptied the treasury for this, making the financial situation of the Great Xia Dynasty even worse!"

"Otherwise, the state treasury will not take out 1000 million taels of silver, and it will have to raise taxes."

Xia Tian asked curiously: "In order to live forever, how much money did Royal Father move from the treasury?"

Sima Jian turned around and said solemnly, "At least ten million taels per year!"

"That's why the imperial court is so difficult!"

Xia Tian shook his head and said: "That is to say, the taxes collected by the states every year are not enough for the father to spend?"

Sima Jian nodded with a heartbroken face: "Ten years ago, he even sent people to sea to find the elixir of life. In order to build sea ships, he spent countless money and almost collapsed the Great Xia Empire!"

"What kind of ship?"

Sima Jian's eyes were full of memories: "The sea ship is called a treasure ship. It has four floors, 44 feet four feet long, and eighteen feet wide. It has nine masts and can hang twelve sails. The anchor weighs several thousand catties. Only 200 people can pull the anchor and set sail, it is huge and boundless!"

Xia Tian was shocked!

In other words, if converted into meters, the length of this treasure ship reached 151.18 meters, and the width reached 61.6 meters!

Treasure ship, the name of the ship has also appeared in Huaxia Time and Space. It is a giant built by Zheng He in the Ming Dynasty when he sailed to the West. It once dominated the sea and was invincible.

It's just that the Ming Dynasty banned the sea and burned down the method of manufacturing treasure ships, making it difficult to build treasure ships.

"Is the person who built this treasure ship still alive?"

Sima Jian nodded: "Yes!"

"It's Mozi, Mozi!"

"His shipbuilding skills were learned from the eccentric master of Jixia Academy back then, and the structural diagram of the treasure ship was also drawn by the eccentric master back then."

Xia Tian's eyes brightened: "Where is the blueprint of the treasure ship?"

Sima Jian: "In the hands of the Mohists of today!"

"Where is the contemporary Mohist giant?"

"Worship in the hall."

"He is the confidant of the Holy Majesty's confidant, and he doesn't leave the hall of worship easily. After the treasure ship went to sea, I haven't seen him for ten years!"

At this moment, Xia Tian fell into deep thought!

Who is the weird master who knows the small seal script of the Qin Dynasty, knows a little poetry, knows a little theory of a hundred schools of thought but is not good at it, and can build treasure ships?

"Master Taishan, did the treasure ship come back after it went out to sea?"

Sima Jian shook his head: "No!"

"Later, His Majesty was looking forward to the return of the treasure ship day by day, and he was indifferent to the government. He went to the shrine hall all day long to study the matter of the Jixia underground palace, and wanted to open the palace gate and obtain the elixir of immortality inside."

Xia Tian was not surprised: "So, Master Taishan also knows about the fact that there is Jixia Underground Palace under the Enshrined Hall."

"Of course!"

Sima Jian smiled meaningfully: "As long as it is a family that has been passed down from the Jixia Academy to the present, they all know it!"

"The legend of the elixir of life is very tempting!"

"Do you know the religion of rebirth?"

"I know, what my father said!"

Only then did Sima Jian say: "Recently, this old man has received news that members of the Rebirth Sect have begun activities in the imperial capital."

"So, what I want to tell you is that this time, the Heavenly Wolf Empire, the Barbarian Empire, the Heiman Empire, and the Blood-Sweat Nation will send people here, which will definitely cause chaos in the capital. If you want to get out, this is a good opportunity! "

Xia Tian raised his eyelids: "I am building a road to the south of the barren state. The end of the [-] mountains is the sea. This time, my son-in-law wants to take away the treasure ship's information!"

Sima Jian nodded: "That's why I told you about the treasure ship."

"The map of the casting of the treasure ship is a waste in the hands of the Mohists. It will be of great use only in your hands!"

"After you get the blueprint of the treasure ship this time, build the ship immediately, and catch the ship when Meier leaves the country next year."

"At that time, you will take their sisters on board together, bring your confidants and enough food, and go overseas to find an island to live in!"

"Never come back!"

At this time, Xia Tian suddenly realized!

Having said so much, it turned out that they were planning their family's retreat: "Master Taishan, you really don't believe...my son-in-law will be able to block the attack of the Sirius Empire and the Great Xia next year?"

Sima Jian shook his head resolutely: "It's not that I don't believe it!"

"It's just that if you tell this matter, no one in the world will dare to believe it!"

"It's impossible for you to block the attack from the two imperial capitals!"

"Even if you are really a saint, it won't work!"

"Build a ship, go overseas!"

Xia Tian no longer argues.

Some things need to be proved by a strong army.

"Master Taishan, how can we attract the giant of the Mohist school?"

Sima Jian's eyes lit up: "He has an illegitimate daughter named Mo'er, who is just 16 years old this year and is a popular candidate for the top ten beauties in the world...you can start with her!"

"do you understand?"

Xia Tian nodded: "Understood!"

Sima Jian asked: "How do we do it?"
