In the next few days, Chen Xiao worked every day, and there were still a lot of things in the military department!

As a squire in the military department, as the second-in-command of the military department, he needs to be responsible for many things to discuss and decide with another squire and Shangshu, etc.

And after the existence of Chen Xiao in the military department, it seems to be more strict than before.

All the officials are dedicated to their work, for fear that something will be caught by Chen Xiao!

Of course, Chen Xiao did not stare at these officials.

After all, his mission this time is to check the Treasury Division, not against other officials!

After this period of verification, coupled with Chen Xiao's going, the Ruthless Gang secretly investigated.

The Ruthless Gang is already a big gang in the imperial capital, and within Chen Xiao's sphere of influence, this force composed of two small gangsters has gradually expanded!

Under the instruction of Chen Xiao, the tiger head has arranged people to do various investigations during this time, and constantly reported to Chen Xiao!

Therefore, Chen Xiao doesn't seem to have done anything on the surface, but in fact, he has a lot of information!

After his previous speculation, the big man who carried out corruption in the Arsenal Division was definitely related to the military, plus he secretly investigated and got some news!

This person definitely has a lot of background, and it is very likely that he is a member of the royal family.

In addition, during this time, the so-called eldest prince is coming back, and he is the prince who has been guarding the border for a long time, and he has a very close relationship with the military, and the relationship with the military department is naturally needless to say!

Therefore, Chen Xiao almost had a guess.

He felt that the corruption of this Arsenal Division was very likely to be related to the eldest prince.

It's just that Chen Xiao can't figure it out, as a dignified prince, he shouldn't be so short of money, why would he carry out such a big corruption?

There is only one possibility, and that is that he needs this money!

As we all know, several princes of the Dragon Kingdom are very peaceful on the surface, but secretly they are fighting openly and secretly, and all kinds of forces are being wooed.

It already has some forces of its own in some areas!

For example, the second prince has been going to various places for disaster relief, so he has won the favor of many civil officials!

The eldest prince has a close relationship with the military and has won the support of many generals and military departments.

After figuring out the key to this, Chen Xiao was almost certain that the amount of money that the eldest prince needed must be so that he would have enough money for him to drive in the fight for the throne in the future.

Chen Xiao didn't plan to report this to the emperor!

After all, the truth hasn't come out yet, so he has continued to work in the military department step by step in the past few days!

The legendary prince has also returned to the palace. Obviously, the eldest prince was very valued by the emperor.

As soon as he returned to the palace, he was dragged by the emperor to the imperial study and talked secretly for a day.

From time to time, the sound of the emperor laughing could be heard in the room.

Obviously, the emperor still likes this very talented prince in military affairs!

That night, the emperor ordered a banquet to be held in the palace for the eldest prince to receive the wind and wash the dust!

This banquet is still in the form of a family banquet, and all the princes and princesses in the palace must be present, including Chen Xiao, who was also specially invited by the eunuchs.

The royal relatives are all in place!

In the palace, in the Palace of Nourishing Hearts, Chen Xiao sat next to the Ninth Princess.

The two chatted for a while, not paying attention to some of the eyes around them.

The third prince's face was a little gloomy, he glanced at Chen Xiao, and then at the second prince and the eldest prince sitting on the left and right sides below the emperor, and felt a little uncomfortable!

Just because of Chen Xiao, he was named the king of the county, which almost meant that he could no longer have any chance in the battle for the throne.

Therefore, its hatred for Chen Xiao is naturally self-evident.

Now seeing Chen Xiao so carefree, he naturally hates it in his heart!

Similarly, the second prince also looked at Qin Ming, he kept thinking about some possibilities in his heart, after all, the eldest prince is back, and a talented existence like Chen Xiao is still very worried that he will be co-opted by the eldest prince.

There are also five princes who also cast all kinds of unkind eyes on Chen Xiao, and the seventh prince is better.

He has almost no hatred for Chen Xiao now, after all, he doesn't have much hatred for Chen Xiao, plus he still had a little cooperation with Chen Xiao last time.

In addition to them, the remaining princesses are also normal. It's just that these princesses are very jealous of Long Jiuling!

After all, Long Jiuling has always been the emperor's favorite daughter, and now there is such an excellent concubine as Chen Xiao, which makes these princesses feel a little unhappy.

Which daughter doesn't think about spring, even if they are princesses, they also hope that their concubine is an excellent talent.

It seems that in the entire Dragon Kingdom today, looking at his peers, Chen Xiao's excellence is almost unmatched!

Naturally, it aroused the minds of many princesses, but they could only be envious and jealous, but they were helpless.

On the throne! The emperor was very happy and said:

"My eldest son is back, he has been guarding the border for the past two years, so that the countries at the border gate do not dare to cross the border, raise the prestige of our dragon country, and protect the people of my dragon country, which is really indispensable!"

Everyone left to look at a man sitting below the emperor!

The man looked like he was twenty-seven or eighteen years old, with a long-standing Chinese face, and a little strong!

At this moment, he got up and bowed to the emperor:

"Father's praise, these are all what the son of the emperor should do as the prince of the empire and the son of the emperor!"

The emperor nodded with satisfaction: "Hmm...... Teng'er, sit down! ”

The eldest prince sat down, glanced around, with some disdain in his eyes, and looked at the other princes!

In the end, his eyes fell on Chen Xiao!

His eyes narrowed, and he spoke:

"Father, the one next to the ninth sister should be the so-called ...... who has been very famous recently. Dragon Country talent, Chen Xiao, right? ”

When the emperor heard this, he said: "Well, Teng'er, he is Chen Xiao, you can come back earlier this time, and thank Chen Xiao!"

Some time ago, he led his troops to fight the southern frontier country, won a complete victory, raised the prestige of our country, and really played a role in deterring neighboring countries! ”

The eldest prince smiled slightly, and in his smile, he couldn't see anything else!

"I see, so I really have to thank Chen Xiao!"

As he spoke, he picked up the wine glass and said to Chen Xiao, "Lord Chen, I toast you!" ”

The second prince narrowed his eyes, and he could see that the eldest prince intended to win over Chen Xiao!

However, Chen Xiao showed a hint of a smile, did not pick up the wine glass, and said:

"It's serious, I'm just doing things for the Dragon Kingdom and Your Majesty, where can I help the eldest prince? So, this glass of wine is not deserved! ”

The eldest prince smiled undiminished and said, "Lord Chen, don't give face? ”

Chen Xiao also still smiled and said:

"Not really, it's just that today's wine is not made in my Chen Xiao Distillery, so it's ...... If it doesn't suit the taste, it's just that you don't want to drink it! ”

This sounded like he was disgusted with the wine, and he didn't want to drink it.

But the subtext is to say: I don't like you, so I don't drink it!

The smile of the eldest prince is finally gone!

The second prince breathed a sigh of relief.
