Chapter 453: Emperor's Mind (Part II)
Listening to the tone of the Great Qiandi Emperor, Xia Fan knew very well that the other party did not mean to joke.
When it comes to this, they are not bargaining at all, but clearly telling each other where the bottom line between each other is.
If this bottom line can coincide, then a consensus can naturally be reached, and if the bottom line cannot coincide, there will inevitably be an irreconcilable struggle.
Xia Fan had no doubt that with the determination shown by the emperor in front of him, if the two really collapsed, this emperor would most likely make a move without hesitation and leave him directly in this deep palace.
When the time comes, just set up an excuse for a sudden hidden illness and confuse this matter.
After all...... During this time, his performance was too eye-catching.
"Your Majesty, it seems to me that since you are able to abandon your own preferences in the choice of the prince, you can only consider the problem from the perspective of the whole country. Then this matter should be considered a little bigger. The battle for the new emperor is not only between the second and sixth highnesses, but also contains other contradictions. I don't think you want to see the whole country in turmoil and chaos after the new emperor ascends the throne, right? ”
After Xia Fan thought about it in his heart, he still decided to spread out the words.
In the face of the Great Emperor in front of him, there is no point in any careful thinking, only if he clearly sees the gains and losses of interests, he will make corresponding judgments.
This is an incomparably pragmatic emperor!
"You're right, so I'm trying to weaken the influence of the three major groups in the dynasty, and at the same time, there will be some follow-up actions against the military. I know that with Guangyi's personality and prestige, there are things he can control, and there are things that he can't control at all. So before he ascends the throne, I will help him cut off all these things that he can't control. ”
Emperor Daqian's voice turned cold, and he was no longer as warm as the spring breeze.
"Your Majesty, after all, you are only the Majesty of the Great Qian Dynasty, so there are some things that you can indeed cut off, but there are some things that ...... I'm afraid you can't do anything about it. ”
Xia Fan's tone also hardened.
"Xia Fan, I know that you are very powerful, only in terms of age, I have never seen any young man less than twenty years old, who can do what you are, this is your advantage. But again, this is your disadvantage, you are not yet twenty years old, and no matter how amazing your potential is now, it will be another ten or twenty years before you are truly capable of becoming a champion. So, I don't see anything about you, and I need to be afraid of it. ”
Emperor Daqian's demeanor did not change, but Xia Fan was keenly aware that Emperor Daqian's murderous aura was gradually becoming stronger through the opening of his 'Absolute Qi Sense'.
This made his heart awe-struck, and at the same time, he said without fear: "I know what you want to say, whether it is the three major groups or Dean Yu Yan, the reason why they attach importance to me is only because of me as a person. So in your opinion, if you kill me directly, then their attention will naturally have no foundation, and even the three major groups that have been finally put together will fall apart because of this. ”
"Isn't it?"
Emperor Daqian asked rhetorically.
"You seem to have forgotten the existence of the Black Hand."
Xia Fan looked directly at Emperor Daqian, without the slightest intention of dodging.
"I'm different from them. They may suspect and believe that you are behind the Black Hand, but I have a deep understanding of the Black Hand, and I know everything you have experienced since you were born and up to today, so I know very well that although you are very similar in disguise, there is nothing between you and the Black Hand. ”
Emperor Daqian said slowly.
"Really? So why are you telling me so much? If you're really sure that I have nothing to do with the Black Hand, I should have been in a different place from the moment I stepped into the palace, right? ”
Xia Fan smiled softly, and his smile sounded a little sarcastic.
The Great Emperor Qian, who was sitting upright, did not have any emotional fluctuations because of Xia Fan's mocking smile, but the murderous aura that was originally strong subsided a little.
"You're really smart, you know it can't scare you."
The original serious expression of the Great Qian Emperor was suddenly replaced by a warm smile, and the whole person suddenly stood up, walked to the map of the Great Qian Dynasty drawn on the wall, and stared at the map with his hands behind his back.
Xia Fan didn't speak, just stood up from his seat, and then walked to the side of the Great Qiandi Emperor, and looked at the map drawn on the wall with the Daqian Emperor.
After a long time, Emperor Daqian spoke again: "Really don't consider my suggestion? ”
"You know Your Royal Highness, and you have read my detailed information, so you should understand that I am not the kind of corrupt Confucian who follows the death of the king's ministers and ministers, and the Second Highness is not a heroic character who laughs at enmity and hatred, since we have embarked on the path of confrontation, then there is bound to be no possibility of reconciliation."
Xia Fan said categorically.
"Look at this map."
Emperor Daqian did not continue to persuade, but pointed to the map in front of him and continued: "The 40,000 people of my Daqian Dynasty live on this land, and there are eight counties in the dynasty, and there are as many as 10 million people with armor!" In addition to the hundreds of thousands of bureaucrats up and down the dynasty, these are all supported by these 40,000 people, it is no exaggeration to say that in the entire sixteen countries of the Southern Regions, only our Daqian Dynasty can afford to support so many troops! Even the Tianyuan Empire, which has more people than our dynasty and is far better than our dynasty in terms of the oppression of the people, only has a full army of six million! ”
"It's all the emperor's wisdom, and you all work hard."
Xia Fan didn't know why Emperor Daqian turned to this topic again, so he only complimented him a few words.
"Although you don't mean it, I deserve it. This is the result of twenty years of hard work! It is also my dream that I have been working hard since I was sensible, and for me, unifying the Southern Regions is my only goal in this life. Even if I am about to die, I must ensure that this goal can be accomplished in the hands of my son! Therefore, no matter who it is, even if it is my own son, if it goes against my goal, I will definitely kill him! ”
Emperor Qian's tone suddenly became murderous again.
Xia Fan lowered his head and frowned slightly, not knowing how to answer for a while.
"I probably have about three months to live, so I will wait for two more months, and after two months, if you and Guangyuan can't satisfy me, then the throne must be Guangyi, even if he doesn't do anything in these two months."
Emperor Daqian turned to look at Xia Fan, who was standing with his hands down, and suddenly a mocking smile appeared on his face, and he spoke: "I do have more scruples about the Black Hand Organization, but a killer group that can only hide in the shadows is not enough to make me really timid, I give you these two months, which can be regarded as a father's expectation for a son......"
Xia Fan's eyes widened slightly, and he bowed and said, "Your Majesty." ”
