Host please stay

Chapter 316
Xia Xuan is 37 years old this year, and in his [-]s, he will know his destiny.

He inherited the throne at the age of 17 and has been in power for 20 years now.

In the past 20 years, under Xia Xuan's governance, the Great Xia Kingdom did not say that the weather was smooth, the country was peaceful and the people were safe, at least the number of people who starved to death was much less. In the borderlands, although wars still broke out from time to time, there was no crisis in the country. Ben's chaos.

His evaluation of himself is more than defensive, not aggressive enough.

It means that the inheritance left by the ancestors can be protected by him and can be passed on to the next generation, but he has no ability to make this inheritance flourish in his own hands.

However, he felt that compared to his father and his grandfather, he had done a good job.

At least his people are poor eaters.

At least, his soldiers will only die on the battlefield.

At least he thought so himself.

However, looking at the urgent memorial on the table and the examination paper from a candidate named Xu Xian that was sent to Chang'an City with the memorial, Xia Xuan couldn't help but think deeply.

At the beginning, when Xia Xuan saw that poem, he was outraged.

Yes, angry!
As an emperor, from this poem, he saw full of malice.

What is my flower that kills the flowers after it blooms? What is the soaring fragrance that penetrates Chang'an? What is the golden armor that fills the city.

Golden armor, that is the armor of the guards of his Ouchi Imperial Palace.

The whole city is full of golden armour, what kind of scene is that?
This kind of scene will only appear in one situation - the chaos in Chang'an, his Xia Xuan's life is mortally threatened.

Only in this critical moment, the palace guards will take over the entire Chang'an and suppress all rebellions.

The first time Xia Xuan saw this poem, his reaction was to send an order to confiscate the family and exterminate the family.

He is not a good emperor, he is too indecisive, and he is not aggressive, but it does not mean that he is willing to let a person who has objections live and threaten his status.

Sitting on the emperor, who would not want their own safety to be threatened until the moment of death?

It's just that being indecisive and not aggressive is his shortcoming as well as his advantage.

After making the decision to confiscate the family and exterminate the family, Xia Xuan resisted the urge to tear up the examination paper, and continued to read it.

According to the memorial, there is still a policy theory, which also needs to be decided by him.

He knows his shortcomings and shortcomings, so he knows how to listen to the opinions of his officials, think and analyze.

Resisting the urge to tear up the test paper, Xia Xuan looked at the policy theory question. The examinee's answer sheet was very simple, with only one simple sentence.

However, after seeing those 22 elegant Chinese characters that still smelled of ink, Xia Xuan's eyes froze suddenly.

No marriage, no compensation, no cede land, no tribute.

From these twelve characters, Xia Xuan saw a kind of determination, a kind of domineering, and a kind of strength.

These four are what every country wants to achieve, what every king expects, and what every powerful country possesses.

If it can shock the world, who would want to seek peace with relatives?If you can be invincible, where is the compensation for defeat?
If you can conquer everything, and there is no time to expand the country, how can you talk about cutting the land?
If the whole world can be made a vassal, and all nations come to court, how can any country in this world dare to accept his Daxia's annual coins?
just
No!

He couldn't do all of this in Daxia!
He also thought, but what his ancestors left him was a mess. From the time of the Taizu, there were princesses who married each other, yearly coins were given to each other every year, and compensation for defeat was the most proficient skill of each generation of his ancestors.

To him, it has become a custom.

He Daxia, when it was passed on to him, the country had already traversed [-] miles from east to west at the beginning, to less than [-] miles now.

The rest of the land has already become the territory of others in the process of cutting land again and again. It has been handed down to him for 20 years, and he has not lost an inch of land. In his opinion, he has surpassed the ancestors of all generations.

He felt that when he went to heaven after his death, he would not be ashamed of his ancestors.

It's just that at this moment... he has a new idea.

Yes, he is not satisfied!
Why should I compromise with my relatives?Why should I pay tribute to various places every year?

Why, my Great Xia, which was the strongest empire at that time, was sitting on the four seas, but now I can only linger on my last breath?

The emperor guards the gate of the country, and the king dies.

Looking at the ancestors of the past dynasties, among the emperors of the Great Xia, is there any one who has done it?

No!

At this moment, Xia Xuan suddenly felt a little pride in his heart.

He jumped up against the case, his eyes full of determination.

What his great ancestors of the Great Xia failed to do, Xia Xuan couldn't do it either!

but it does not matter!

He can't do it, he knows someone can!

"Pass the decree to invite Xu Xian, a student of Hangzhou Prefecture, to come to Beijing as a national gift."

Yes! !
Xia Xuan changed his mind, instead of confiscating his family and exterminating his family, he wanted to treat him with national courtesy.

As a human king, one cannot cultivate, so Xia Xuan is just an ordinary person.

In fact, under the influence of the will of the world, immortals and human beings are separated, and immortals and even practitioners are not easily allowed to intervene in human power.

The cactus protects the wind and rain in four seasons and six seasons, and protects the people's well-being.

It seems to be superior and respected by the world, but in fact belief is just a kind of belief. As an existence in belief, it is not allowed to easily interfere in the affairs of the world.

Otherwise, ten thousand catastrophes will be added to the body, and most of them will end up in the end of death.

However, although he has no cultivation and does not know supernatural powers, Xia Xuan has a special talent.

This talent, as I said before, he can listen to the opinions of the officials, and knows how to think and analyze.

Perhaps many people think that this is something everyone has, but Xia Xuan is different.

He seemed to be born with a keener intuition than others, able to sense the hidden secrets behind things.

Of course, it is only able to feel that a thing may not be aware of the appearance in front of it, and it cannot gain insight into the world.

But this alone is enough!
Just looking at Xu Xian's poem, he thought Xu Xian was rebellious.

Even if there is not, once this anti-poem comes out, there is no way to keep it.

But after reading the following sentence that the emperor guards the gate of the country and the king dies in Sheji, Xia Xuan felt that things were not what he imagined.

If Xu Xian was really rebellious, it would be impossible to write such words later.

But in fact, he actually wrote it. Although it seems to condemn the emperor, it seems that it can express Xu Xian's dissatisfaction with the court and even the emperor of this country just like the previous anti-poetry.

If the two appeared alone, Xia Xuan might not hesitate to order the family to be ransacked.

But... not!
Either of these two things would be enough to be ransacked, and Xu Xian put them in the same test paper.

From this, Xia Xuan saw Xu Xian's hidden intentions that no one else knew.

From Xu Xian's seemingly superfluous actions, Xia Xuan felt that Xu Xian wanted to say a few words to himself through this poem and this strategy.

And the content of the words, he has already realized, is exactly what was written in the policy theory.

However, he felt that what Xu Xian wanted to say needed to be added—do you want such a country?
miss you!
Xia Xuan dreams of it!

If it is possible to make such an attack, although it is not as good as the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, it is at least stronger than the ancestors of the past, right?

Not only can he leave his name forever, but also he can find a good official position in the heaven for himself after his death, and get a better fortune.

so.
Xia Xuan ordered people to invite Xu Xian to the city without hesitation. He felt that the truth should be what he thought.

Although he also felt unbelievable in his heart, he knew that even if there was only a [-]% possibility, it was enough for him to take a gamble.

If he wins the bet, his name will be preserved forever, but if he loses the bet, Xu Xian's family will be ransacked and exterminated later.

This bet. He can afford it.

Xu Xian was surprised.

Really, Xu Xian was very surprised after the old eunuch who passed the decree read out the decree.

He originally thought that the emperor would be furious after reading his anti-poetry, and the celebrities escorted him to Beijing, and even directly ransacked his family and exterminated his family.

In that case, he can justifiably suppress it by force, making everything that follows easier.

However, he never expected that instead of being angry, the emperor would invite him to Beijing with a national gift.

This made Xu Xian couldn't help but look at the Great Xia Emperor with admiration.

Ignoring the aggrieved and dissatisfied look in the old eunuch's eyes, Xu Xian nodded to the old eunuch, expressing that he understood.

The old eunuch dared not speak angrily and glared at Xu Xian, but he didn't even dare to say a word about Xu Xian's failure to accept the imperial edict.

The reason for this is naturally the reason that he has received some friendly and cordial care before.

"Go back and report, Xu Xian will visit Chang'an in three days."

Waving to the old eunuch, Xu Xian turned and walked towards the mansion.

Looking at Xu Xian's back, the old eunuch opened his mouth. Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at the dog that had torn a piece of meat from his leg, but finally he didn't say a single harsh word.

He turned around without even daring to hum, and led the guard of honor back with the imperial decree intact.

yes dog!

That's right, Roaring Dog!

After being thrown from the Nantian Gate by Yang Jian, and after Chen Ergou and Chen Dafa's desperate efforts, Xiaotiangou successfully fell to the mortal world.

Of course it won't be in Hangzhou, there are not so many coincidences in the world.

The reason why the thin-waisted dog appeared at the door of Xu Xian's house was that after Xiao Tiangou found out that his mana was imprisoned, relying on the body of a real fairy, he traveled eight thousand miles a day and traveled for more than ten days.

Of course, this is not the point.

"Hanwen, do you really want to go to Beijing? It has always been a taboo in the Three Realms for practitioners to intervene in politics, I'm afraid."

In the mansion, seeing Xu Xian's insistence on proceeding, San ShengMu questioned her lover's decision for the first time.

Seeing the worry and puzzlement in the third girl's eyes, Xu Xian smiled and took the girl's hand.

"Chan'er, don't worry, you forgot. I am the only exception among the three worlds!"

Hearing Xu Xian's words, Yang Chan suddenly thought that her boyfriend is a pervert who has survived three waves of Heaven's Punishment without any damage.

Thinking of this, the worry in Yang Chan's heart disappeared a lot, and was replaced by curiosity in her heart.

"Hanwen, you doubt that you want to go to Beijing, but what is the purpose you want to achieve?"

A boyfriend has an idea, as a girlfriend, he should know it, and support him unconditionally as much as he can, right?
After understanding Yang Chan's thoughts, Xu Xian held Miss Yang San's hand slightly harder.

With a grin, his face is full of confidence.

"I want to change this human world, so that there will be no more famine in the four seas; and make the flowers of prosperity bloom everywhere on the shore of the land."
