At the beginning, Han Chen suspected that the emperor or the imperial court was acting against the Chu family of the Yue State for a reason.

At the beginning of the Dawu Dynasty, Emperor Taizu Chen Youliang conferred a total of thirteen princes.

Later, he fought a series of battles to deter the four yi, and before and after he conferred the title of Duke of Guo to six generals who had made meritorious contributions.

When the Quartet is stable and the country is peaceful and the people are safe, the Wu Dynasty will have nineteen princes.

At that time, the power of the nobles was unrivaled for a while, and it became a big trend.

Emperor Taizu was eloquent and strategic, saw through the hidden worries, and in order to leave a stable family business for future generations, in his twilight years, he reused Wenchen and cut off the noble forces.

It seems that the bird is hiding all the bows, but in fact, it is a last resort.

A group of civil servants led by the founding strategist Xu Wenguang sharpened their knives and took away many noble titles.

This is also the origin of the family motto of the Yue Guogong, money, wealth and power, are all fleeting, there is wine today and drunk today, and it is true to enjoy glory and wealth.

It can only be said that the first generation of Yue Guogong is a good person, and he sees the general trend clearly.

After getting the title, he was neither ostentatious nor domineering, he was only full of joy to be a rich man, not to mention Emperor Taizu, even those sons of Wenchen, who also felt that this man had no eloquence and strategy, and he had never been deliberately targeted, and he was passed down from generation to generation.

By the time Emperor Taizu Chen Youliang arrived, there were only seven nobles left with the title of Duke of the country, which shows the fierceness of the struggle at that time.

Yue Guogong through this incident, but also to carry forward the idea of small wealth is peace, each generation of Yue Guogong, have little ability, mediocre, will only spend money to enjoy.

The way of civil and military affairs lies in balance, and the emperors after Chen Youliang did not exterminate the Xungui group, otherwise, the tail should be a civilian force.

One hundred and ten years ago, Chen Tianci, the king of Yan, on the grounds that his nephew tampered with the edict of the first emperor and obtained the wrong position, raised troops and made it difficult to appease, from north to south, from Beiping all the way to the horizontal, directly changed the heaven and the earth, became the emperor, and moved the Beijing division from Yingtian Nanjing to Beiping, and changed Beiping to Beijing.

From the dragon ministers to be divided, the stubborn to suppress, since then, caused a noble civil strife, civil forces took the opportunity to make trouble, and took away many titles.

Waiting for the succession to the throne, there are nine families left who have the title of duke.

Today's Xungui Group has long been weak, huddling together for warmth, and under the suppression of Wenchen, everyone is in danger.

Today, Emperor Xiaozong Hongzhi is in power, the most benevolent, advocating the vertical arch and rule, sharing the world with scholars, and the civil and official power is great, and it is not uncommon to want to uproot the vein of Yue Guogong.

This is the reason why Han Chen thought that the black hand who murdered the Chu family of the Yue Kingdom was hidden in the court.

But the news he got from the Ma family brothers, coupled with the information that Lao Wei secretly told him, Han Chen found that he was wrong.

There are other people who murdered the Chu family of Yue Guogong.

Originally, Han Chen's idea was to invite the famous first, then earn wealth, and then make friends with maritime merchants and open up the way to go overseas, and when it was impossible to do it, and the Yueguo Mansion was really going to be uprooted, he would take Miss Chu and run away with him.

But now, this idea has to be changed.

Since the person who murdered the Chu family of Yue Guogong was not in the court, or it was not the meaning of Jinshang and the civil official group, then, what was the mastermind behind the scenes?

The entire Ningbo County and even the entire Jiangnan know that the Yueguo Mansion is a hollow old man, the ninth generation of Yueguo Gong Chu Tianyou died, and if he wants to be buried decently, he has to sell the chrysanthemum garden at home.

However, no matter how down-and-out he is, the Duke of Yue is the Duke of the Kingdom personally appointed by Emperor Taizu, and at the political level, his status is extraordinary, and the court will not sit idly by and watch the Chu family being bullied wantonly.

Murdering such a state government is simply a big profit and a small profit, and it is extremely not cost-effective.

Judging from the means of the mastermind behind the scenes, all the more than 100 men in the Chu family died, leaving no traces, and they were definitely not brainless people.

On the contrary, the mastermind behind this must be well-planned and powerful.

According to the temperament of Yue Guogong, he would never provoke such an enemy, so it was impossible to seek revenge.

There is no oil and water to fish, and it is not the enemy who comes to the door, so the mastermind behind the scenes has wiped out the Chu family of the Duke of Yueguo, and there is only one last thing left, that is, the title of the Duke of Yue itself!

Thinking of this, Han Chen only felt that it suddenly became clear, and the various experiences of the Chu family could be explained.

It's just that, according to the rules of the Wu Dynasty, if there is no heir to inherit the title, it will be automatically withdrawn, similar to the Chu family, recruiting sons-in-law, continuing the bloodline, and waiting for descendants to inherit the title, there is no other!

The man behind the scenes, isn't he afraid of chickens and eggs?

Or, the black hand had long expected that the Chu family would be favored today and be able to keep the title of Duke of Yueguo?

With the current general trend in the court, the civil official group almost single-handedly covers the sky, and I can't wait to get rid of a few more titles so that I can continue to attack the strength of the Xungui group, the situation of the Chu family is a miracle, why is the black hand so sure?

As for the possibility of gambling on one hand, Han Chen didn't consider it, after all, the cost is too big and the risk is too high, and normal people would not do this if they bet on the uncertainty involved.

Unless there is someone involved who can influence the thoughts of the present......

It's scary to think about!

However, it is far stronger than the emperor or the civil official group wanting to take back the Duke of Yueguo.

After all, in the face of the collective will of the emperor or the civil official group, looking at the entire Dawu Dynasty, no one can stop it!

This is also the reason why Han Chen wanted to escape overseas at the beginning.

However, if the other party is just hiding in the shadows and does not dare to murder the Chu family of Yue Guogong in the open, there is still room for counterattack in this matter.

Even if the mastermind behind the scenes is huge, even if he has someone in the court, even if he can influence Jinshang's thoughts!

As long as it is not the will at the national level, Han Chen has the determination to fight!

became glorious and wealthy, and the prince was defeated...... It's not much different from the original thought, Aunt Ben took Miss Chu and hid overseas together!

Thinking of this, Han Chen's spirit suddenly soared, and he swept away the decadence of the past few days, and his whole person was like the morning sun, full of vitality.

The big bull on the side suddenly felt that his uncle seemed to have a spirit all of a sudden, didn't he come up with a wonderful poetry article again?

Suddenly there was a burst of worship in my heart, my uncle is my uncle, and I can walk with a spring of thoughts, like a urine insipidus, admire!

Dong'er's eyes widened, and she peeked at her uncle from time to time, only to feel that her uncle was heroic, and he was really like the legendary Taibai Shixian, if he could always accompany his uncle like this, he would have no regrets in this life.

Handsome for only three seconds, Aunt Han suddenly stumbled and scolded when he opened his mouth!

But I thought that in order to seize the title of Duke of Yueguo, the mastermind behind the scenes must marry Miss Chu and give birth to a boy!

This is very cool, isn't it going to rob Aunt Ben's wife and cuckold Aunt Ben?!
