Monk Yuanzhen showed a look of remembrance, as if he was reminiscing about the years before shaving.

"You really want to know?" After a long time, Monk Yuanzhen said: "Back then, only the poor monk and the Xia Emperor knew about it in the world, and the poor monk originally wanted to bring it into the tomb, so you really want to know?" ”

"After I know, will my father kill me?" Xiao Rui asked rhetorically.

Monk Yuanzhen stretched out his hand to invite the two of them to have tea, and then smiled: "No!" Emperor Xia is a very emotional emperor, although he is sometimes ruthless, but it is all for national affairs. However, he will still feel embarrassed, and even a little angry, and it will affect his image in your mind! ”

Xiao Rui immediately smiled back: "Then it's okay, master, please speak." ”

Monk Yuanzhen nodded, sighed, and said: "At that time, Emperor Xiaowen was very old, and he didn't care about the government, which led to the decline of the national strength of the Great Xia State, and the three kingdoms of Great Qi, Great Yan, and Great Zhao invaded the territory and occupied four-tenths of the territory!" Moreover, Emperor Xiaowen was authoritarian and suspicious, the prince of that year had a weak personality and had no emperor appearance at all, and the second son of the emperor, Xiao Heding, served as the envoy of Ludong Jiedu to lead 100,000 elite iron horsemen, worried about national affairs, and had no rebellious heart at first. Later, he received a secret letter. ”

"The secret letter is written by the current Xia Emperor Xiao Ying, and the letter states that he is willing to elect Xiao Heding as the emperor, inherit the unification, and restore the prestige of Great Xia, and the letter indicates that he has contacted other princes to assist and discuss important matters."

Xiao Rui almost squirted out the tea in his mouth.

I really didn't expect that such a serious and majestic Emperor Xia would do such a thing back then, and actually instigate his brother to rebel?

Monk Yuanzhen continued: "Originally, Xiao Heding didn't think about rebellion, but he was tempted by this letter, and he really had evil thoughts. Next, under Xiao Ying's mobilization, there were really four princes who wrote to Xiao Heding and were willing to help him ascend to the throne. ”

So Xiao Heding found an opportunity to enter Beijing and conspired with the five princes. At the appointed time, Emperor Xiaowen was stunned by drugs, causing the appearance of no owner, and then Xiao Heding sent his troops to Beijing, and the five princes opened the city gate to welcome him, and he was enshrined as the king. ”

"So Xiao Heding really rebelled, and rushed all the way outside the capital, Emperor Xiaowen was indeed unconscious, and it seemed that everything was developing in the direction of the plan."

"But... What happened next gave Xiao Heding a suffocating stick. ”

Xiao Ying lobbied the patrol battalion to defend the city gate, and then went to the northwest camp alone to obtain military power, which severely damaged Xiao Heding's army. The awakened Emperor Xiaowen named Xiao Ying as a general and purged the rebels. This process lasted for several years. In fact, when Xiao Heding fled back to Ludong not long after, he was captured by Xiao Ying, but Xiao Ying did not tell Emperor Xiaowen and the imperial court, but deliberately delayed the time for several years on the grounds of exterminating the rebels, and with the help of the rebellion as an excuse, he became the commander with the most troops in the world, recruiting countless famous generals and Confucian ministers, and when Emperor Xiaowen noticed it, it was too late. ”

In order to restrain Xiao Ying, Emperor Xiaowen divided the military power into other princes, which also caused the later civil strife in Great Xia, and the princes strife, but they all lost to Xiao Ying. And Xiao Heding, as Xiao Ying's pawn and second brother, has always made wedding dresses for him, and survived until he recognized the red dust and escaped into the empty door. Now, Xiao Heding is dead, and there are many Yuanzhen monks in the world! ”

He just asked for a general description, but he also let Xiao Rui's brain make up a series of pictures of the struggle for power, especially the performance of Emperor Xia, who turned Xiao Heding's deception around, and continued to be a pawn after failure. It also made himself a powerful prince with nothing.

Sure enough, knowing what he really wanted, Emperor Xia's tall image fell instantly, but Xiao Rui felt that this was the most real. The Xia Emperor was more pitiful than he is now, he was born by a palace maid, and he was a down-and-out prince after recognizing his ancestors and returning to his ancestors, and his mother did not have a name when she died, and she couldn't even enter the imperial tomb. The fact that he can finally get the throne is comparable to an exciting and inspirational history!

The image has fallen, but the admiration for him is like a surging river.

"Isn't it very impressive?" Monk Yuanzhen smiled.

Xiao Rui nodded and said, "Xiao Heding is not easy, and my father is even more difficult. ”

"Yes, it's not easy to be a chess piece or a chess player." Monk Yuanzhen smiled: "Knowing this past, you should also understand why Emperor Xia asked you to look for me." ”

"Looking for you is fake, it is true to exterminate the Black Lotus Sect, and at the same time let the prince learn the truth of being a king." Xiao Rui said with a smile.

"In this world, there may be only a few people left who can understand your father. His ambitions are too great. After he became the emperor, he took back the lost territory, and opened up more than half of the original territory, and almost destroyed the Great Zhao Kingdom, if it were not for the union of Great Zhao, Great Yan, and Great Qi, the Great Qin State west of the Great Zhao State was also worried that after the fall of the Great Zhao State, it would also be in danger, and in order to suppress the powerful Great Xia, to provide help for the Triple Alliance, otherwise your father's footsteps would never stop! In the Chinese Continent, the seven countries compete for power, and the four countries fight against the Great Xia Kingdom, how domineering is this? Your father's wish is to dominate the land of China. Monk Yuanzhen admired: "Now that he is also old, he wants to train a new emperor and fulfill this long-cherished wish." ”

Speaking of this, Monk Yuanzhen looked at Xiao Rui with burning eyes and admonished: "Under the drive of Emperor Xia, it is impossible for you nine princes to be alone. You also have to think about your goals in the future. Xiao Rui, when you come to see the poor monk, it is estimated that you can't hide it from Emperor Xia, his control of the capital is not something you can imagine. In this case, it is better for you to take the initiative to ask for credit, the poor monk is willing to reveal your former identity for you, help you once, don't refuse, because your mother once helped the poor monk. As far as I am concerned, my heart is to my Buddha, and I can trust it wherever I am, and Emperor Xia will not kill me. ”

When Xiao Rui heard this, he fell into thought.

In the land of China, the seven kingdoms compete for power.

The Xia State is the easternmost part of the mainland, and only borders the three kingdoms of Great Yan, Great Zhao, and Great Qi, leaving the three kingdoms, as well as the Great Qin State to the west of the Great Zhao State, the Great Yuan State to the north of the Great Qi State, and the Great Wei State to the northwest of the Great Zhao and Great Yan Kingdom.

Xiao Rui didn't even want to be the emperor of Great Xia, let alone dominate China!

Emperor Xia worked so hard that he almost destroyed the Zhao Kingdom, but it was also almost. If you want to dominate the land of China, it is not easy to say.

But I have to say that this goal made Xiao Rui's blood boil.

"The land of China has never been unified! Whoever can dominate China will be the emperor of the ages! Xiao Rui said quietly, thinking of the system in his mind, Xiao Rui suddenly gave birth to a fighting spirit.

At this moment, he is not thinking about being a free prince, but about being the monarch of the first emperor through the ages, sweeping Liuhe, united in all directions, and dominating the world, who will compete?

Struggle, young man!

"Uncle Huang! Nephew bothering you. Xiao Rui suddenly got up and bowed deeply.

Monk Yuanzhen laughed and said, "No trouble, no trouble." ”
