"Master, what's wrong with you? Why do I feel like you've been troubled ever since you came out of the palace?”
"Master doesn't say a word, Sisi doesn't know how to help Master!”Jiang Sisi's eyes were filled with worry as she spoke gently!
"I was thinking that our Emperor is smarter and scarier than I thought. I feel that nothing can hide from his eyes!”
"I'm guilty!" Liu Changan sighed in a low voice." I just don't know if I'm too smart this time. His Majesty has already noticed!"”
He smiled bitterly and said," I forgot how important the three northern provinces are to Great Xia. They are the key to whether Great Xia can go north. How could His Majesty allow me to use this as a scheme?!"”
Jiang Sisi was stunned. Liu Changan shook his head and sighed."I'm afraid that after this, His Majesty will pay more attention to me. I have to be more careful in the future!”
At this moment, there was a knock on the door. Jiang Sisi stood up and opened the door. Xiao Zhuo stood outside and said respectfully,"Tower Lord, your guard has come to report!"
"He said that the Great General has arrived at the Fuma Residence!" Zhuo's words stunned Liu Changan. Liu Zhonglu? Why did he come out? Could it be that he was here to look for him?
"I know!" Liu Changan nodded and Zhuo left respectfully. Jiang Sisi looked at Liu Changan and said,""Grandpa?"
"I don't know either!" "No matter what, we have to go back first. I'll leave this place to you!" Liu Changan pondered.”
"Don't worry, Master!" Jiang Sisi nodded respectfully. Liu Changan left the Ten Thousand Flower House worriedly while Jiang Sisi walked out of the room gracefully!
In the Fuma Residence, Liu Zhonglu stood with his hands behind his back. He quietly looked at a pavilion in the Fuma Residence. It was a pavilion that was still under construction!
This pavilion was very special. At a glance, it was nine stories tall. Most importantly, the appearance of this pavilion was actually black and white!
One side was white, while the other side was black. It had not been completely built yet, so Liu Zhonglu could not tell what the pavilion was used for!
At this moment, Liu Changan appeared behind Liu Zhonglu. Liu Zhonglu asked,""What building is that? What do you do?"
"Taiji Tower!" " It's used to store some precious items," Liu Changan said softly." There will be some delicate mechanisms inside to prevent others from peeping!"”
"You know about traps?" Liu Zhonglu turned to look at Liu Changan. Liu Changan shook his head."I'm still searching, that's why this building stopped!”
"Why is it called Taiji Tower?" Liu Zhonglu frowned. Black and white, what does that mean?"
"Taiji is yin and yang, which is life and death. The outside is life, and the inside is death.”
Liu Changan looked at the Taiji Tower and said," As for the colors, I think that everything in this world is either white or black. Therefore, I only want these two colors!”
Liu Zhonglu was stunned. He did not expect Liu Changan to have such thoughts. He did not probe further and slowly said,"Have you met His Majesty?"
Liu Changan nodded respectfully. Liu Zhonglu asked,""How do you feel?"
"Unfathomable!" Liu Changan pondered for a moment. The Xia Emperor was indeed unfathomable, and even he could not see through his thoughts!
"It's good that you know, so don't act too smart. In the entire Great Xia, you're not the only smart one, nor are you the only one with the most talent!”
"Father?" Liu Changan was stunned. Liu Zhonglu took out a piece of paper and handed it to Ji Pingan.""Take a look for yourself!"
"Six Meridians, Inch Gate, Ruler!" Liu Changan looked at the words and was stunned. He looked at Liu Zhonglu, who said calmly,""I wasn't right!"
"Less than two hours after your couplet was written, these five words appeared on the desk of Chief Wenshan!”
He looked at Liu Changan and said," That's why when Yue Ze led the Wei Empire's diplomatic mission to produce those couplets, Chief Wenshan did not even need fifteen minutes to produce a couplet!”
Liu Changan was completely stunned. If that was the case, then why was Chief Wenshan wrong? Why did the chief eunuch, Zhou Mohai, always say that there was nothing wrong when he came back?
"So don't always think that you're the only smart person in the world. There's also Prime Minister Li Houcun. He's the head of Great Xia's civil officials!" Liu Zhonglu said calmly.”
"Even First Seat Wenshan was once his student. Do you think that if First Seat Wenshan could match these couplets, Li Houcun could match them?”
"Not to mention Li Houcun, even the tens of civil officials in the Great Xia Dynasty can't compare to you, Liu Changan? You're the only smart person, but are everyone else fools?”
"Me!" These words were like a sharp blow to Liu Changan's head, completely stunning him. This was a question that he had never thought about before!
"Father!" Liu Changan broke out in a cold sweat. Although he had transmigrated, he was indeed a newbie when it came to this kind of imperial politics!
"Are you asking why they are unwilling to answer if they can?" Liu Zhonglu asked lightly. Or rather, why didn't they go?”
"Great Qi is the wealthiest, Great Liang has the strongest army, and Great Wei has the best internal affairs. Only Great Xia is located in the desolate and barren north region!”
"They are not as rich as Great Qi, their military strength is not as strong as Daliang, and their internal affairs are not as good as Great Wei. It's not just because our Great Xia's population is thin and we don't have many talents!”
"It's because of the Grand Xia!" Liu Zhonglu's eyes were burning." Great Xia is a desolate place. It's the most barren place, and its smelting technology is the most backward!”
"Food is a problem, how can we grow stronger? Then where was the hope for Great Xia to grow stronger? What was the purpose of the seven generations of emperors of Great Xia?”
"North!"
Liu Changan's eyes lit up. Liu Zhonglu looked at Liu Changan and said,""That's right, it's to go north. Only by going north, only by leaving this barren land, can Grand Xia truly be reborn!”
"If we can't go north, then Great Xia will forever be in its current state. It will not be as rich as Great Qi, its military power will not be as strong as Great Liang, and its internal affairs will not be as good as Great Wei!”
"What does this have to do with me?" Liu Changan was puzzled. Liu Zhonglu shook his head."What's the thing that's missing in the north? What is the purpose of my Great Xia preparing for war?”
"Great Wei and Daliang are allies. If Great Xia can't match up to Great Wei's couplet, Great Wei will come and encroach on the three northern provinces!”
"And the three northern provinces are the territory of my Great Xia. Will His Majesty let Great Wei get involved? At that time, the vanguard of the army would be heading towards the three northern provinces!”
"Beating up Great Wei is several times easier than beating up Liang. If you go north, you will have a legitimate reason. Your couplet has completely disrupted the Emperor's plan!”
"Right now, Great Xia is facing Liang!”
