The King of Chu was afraid that Chen Yuanzhao would be unhappy, so he immediately explained: "Cousin, please don't be careful, I definitely don't want to send someone to keep an eye on me, let alone think about putting eyeliner next to you." It's just that there are many people in the army, and some secret things are inconvenient to send officers and soldiers to do. It's much more convenient to take them with you. If my cousin doesn't want to, I'll say nothing."

"You and I are my cousins, how can I be suspicious of you."

Chen Yuanzhao smiled rarely, and patted King Chu on the shoulder: "No need to explain more, just send someone before sunset tomorrow." With a strength of 30,000 troops, no one can see that there are one or two hundred more people. ”

King Chu breathed a sigh of relief, and his tone became brisk: "Okay, then we'll make a decision." ”

After finishing the business, the king of Chu had no intention of saying goodbye, and said casually: "As soon as the eldest brother dies, the position of the prince is vacant." The second brother and the third brother, I don't know which one my father will like more. ”

Chen Yuanzhao's eyes flashed slightly, a trace of mockery quickly flashed in his eyes, and he said lightly: "Although King Qin and King Wei are older than you, their background is not as good as yours. You are the queen's mother, and the son is more precious than the mother, which is the tradition of the Dayan Dynasty. If the emperor wants to establish a prince, he should also choose you. ”

These words obviously hit the heart of the king of Chu.

King Chu pulled the corners of his lips and said in a low voice: "There are no outsiders here, only the two of us, and I don't want to hide it from my cousin." If my eldest brother was still here, I would never have thought about it. It is enough to be a rich vassal king in this life. Now that the eldest brother is gone, I can't help but think about the queen mother. ”

"If the second brother and the third brother become the prince, they are not from the queen mother. He has no affection for his mother, and he has no pity for my younger brother. I'm afraid that after my father returns to heaven, our mother and son will be in danger. ”

"So. I have to fight for the position of this prince! ”

With a helpless expression, it was disgusting to watch.

Chen Yuanzhao knew the intention of the King of Chu very well. The king of Chu has not been involved in the court over the years, and the officials who secretly befriended and wooed were far less than those of the king of Qin and the king of Wei. If he wants to compete for the throne, the only advantage of the king of Chu is that the queen is born.

Although the king of Chu is young, he is good at acting, and he came to the barracks today. Apparently it was the idea to win him over. Even the words he said were the same as in his previous life.

Come to think of it, Queen Ye also told the King of Chu the secret of his life experience

Chen Yuanzhao sneered in his heart, but his face showed a moving look: "Your Highness is filial. It's impressive. ”

King Chu smiled bitterly: "Cousin, I won't tell you, I came to the barracks today not only to ask you to find out the murderer of the eldest brother." It's more important to be honest with you. I hope you will help me in the future. Wait for the day when I ascend to the throne. I will never treat my cousin badly. ”

Chen Yuanzhao's expression froze, and he replied solemnly: "Your Highness is too unseemly to say such a thing. The queen is my aunt, and for so many years, her mother has shown me as if she were her own. The two of us are like brothers. The crown prince died, and the position of the prince should have been yours. ”

"Your Highness, rest assured, as long as it is useful to me in the future, I will never refuse!"

The king of Chu was overjoyed, and excitedly held Chen Yuanzhao's hand again: "There are these words of cousin." It's worth my trip today. ”

So, that evening. More than a hundred more people were in the barracks.

Zhou Cong quietly arranged the manpower, and then returned to Chen Yuanzhao: "The people sent by His Royal Highness the King of Chu have already been arranged. and the men sent by His Royal Highness the King of Wei were placed under different generals. I have secretly ordered people to watch their every move, and I will never let them cause trouble in the army. Please also rest assured generals. ”

Chen Yuanzhao hummed lightly: "What news do they want to inquire about, follow them to investigate." ”

Zhou Cong frowned: "But, in this case, what if they find out what news is transmitted back to the capital, and the King of Wei and Chu find out that there are each other's eyeliner in the military camp?" Won't the general be blamed when the time comes? ”

"Even if you know, what can you do?" Chen Yuanzhao tugged at the corners of his lips, and there was a hint of coolness in his voice: "They are all in a hurry to win me over now, before the prince is decided, the two of them will definitely fight to the death." Who has the time to deal with me. As for the future, I have already made arrangements in my heart, so you don't have to worry too much. ”

Zhou Cong was full of doubts, so he had to swallow it back.

first secretly made eye contact with King Wei, and today accepted the solicitation of King Chu.

What exactly is the general going to do?

Chen Yuanzhao saw the incomprehension in Zhou Cong's eyes, but he didn't plan to explain more. Some secrets can only be kept in the heart, even if they are close to and trusted people, they cannot be told.

Chen Yuanzhao refused to say more, and Zhou Cong was also quite interested, so he quickly opened the topic: "This time I go back to Shandong, it will take at least a few months to go back and forth." After the general returns, it is time to start preparing for the family affair and marrying Miss Xu. ”

Speaking of Xu Jinyu, Chen Yuanzhao's indifferent face was like ice thawing, and he suddenly softened a lot: "I plan to do the same." When I came back, I set a wedding date and prepared for family affairs. ”

For so many years, he has been alone, and all he thinks about is the word revenge. And now, he has more worries in his heart, and when he thinks of Xu Jinyu, his heart almost softens into a pool of spring water.

The love of children is long, and the hero's breath is short, this is really true.

Chen Yuanzhao was in a good mood, and he was rarely interested in caring about Zhou Cong's lifelong events: "Speaking of which, you are still a year older than me. It's time to think about lifelong events. ”

Zhou Cong coughed, his expression was a little unnatural: "I don't want to get married for the time being." ”

Chen Yuanzhao raised his eyebrows: "You don't want to get married yet, how long are you going to drag Rue Xiang." She is also a big girl, and if she doesn't get married, she will become an old girl! ”

Zhou Cong: ""

Zhou Cong wanted to defend a few words, such as he and Rue Xiang had nothing at all, Chen Yuanzhao's voice sounded again: "Those who are useful and useless don't need to talk in front of me." The two of us have grown up together since childhood, and we have been together longer than anyone else, and you can't hide what you think from me. You are just holding the shelf of the guard, lest others say that you are faking public affairs. ”

I had just reprimanded Zhou Yong for the same reason before, where could Zhou Cong pull this face.

Zhou Cong's face flushed, and under Chen Yuanzhao's teasing gaze, he finally honestly admitted: "I plan that after the general gets married, Rue Xiang doesn't have to expose the identity of the secret guard, and can be a dowry maid to accompany Miss Xu to Chen's house." When the time comes, I will ask to marry Rue. ”

That's pretty much it.

Chen Yuanzhao tugged at the corners of his lips: "It's okay, when I get married, I will hold a family affair for the two of you." ”
