On the official road, the banner is clear, a gorgeous, huge chariot pulled by eight horses, under the escort of thousands of horse infantry, mighty forward, along the way, the people avoid, the officials salute.

In the car sat Zhao Shuo, the king of Chu, who was ordered by the emperor to go to Jiangnan to inspect on behalf of the Son of Heaven.

On the way, from time to time, I met groups of people going in one direction, the direction of Fengjing.

At this time, a team of thousands of people, also walking the official road, came from the front to meet this side, the main general saw this, shouted, led hundreds of soldiers, stepped forward to disperse the people, and the attitude was extremely barbaric.

Hearing the movement, Zhao Shuoxuan opened the curtain and looked over there, frowning slightly, but he didn't say anything, and then put down the curtain.

A middle-aged scribe sitting opposite Zhao Shuo glanced at him, turned around and walked out of the car, and beckoned to the palace attendant Du Wei on the side.

"Mr. Chen, what do you command?"

The lieutenant asked on his horse.

The middle-aged scribe pointed ahead and said lightly: "Go and tell Zhou Yuanli that you must not be rude to the people and ruin the reputation of the King of Chu." ”

"Yes, sir."

The lieutenant took the order and left.

This middle-aged scribe is named Chen Xianda, his father Chen Mo is a famous Confucian in the world, in the early days of the Pingzong Dynasty, once did the head of the hundred officials, the right minister, but the time is very short, and his person has the reputation of Confucianism.

Chen Xianda is very talented, known as a prodigy since he was a child, has an excellent memory, can never forget, has a good reputation, and knows him a lot, but he is also very strange, or a quirk, that is, he doesn't like to be an official, the first year of Zhao Zhi's succession, Chen Xianda won the first place with his superhuman literary talent, and was favored by Zhao Zhi, and was introduced into the political hall chronicle, this starting point is not high, but he only did it for less than half a year, that is, he took the initiative to resign and return to his hometown, quit the officialdom, which was at that time, But it is a big news, shocking many people, after all, just after completing the imperial examination and entering the officialdom, you can directly enter the political hall, although it is just a miscellaneous note-taker, the grade is also very low, but the starting point and importance of this official position are self-evident.

Soon after, Zhao Zhifu recruited Chen Xianda to return to Beijing as an official, Chen Xianda also came, but he didn't do it for a long time, he didn't want to do it, a letter of resignation, left directly, and didn't even say hello, after repeating it several times, Zhao Zhi once said to the left and right ministers: This person is selfish and has no talent, but he is unwilling to work for the country and the people.

Since then, Chen Xianda has been hidden in the township, not asking about the world, traveling all day long, chanting poems and music, and being his own man, until the thirteenth year of Guangyuan, Zhao Shuo, the king of Chu, did not know what method was used, but he invited Chen Xianda to be his staff, which at that time, but caused a lot of sensation, just when everyone was guessing how long Chen Xianda could stay this time, time passed, this tasteless and classless Chu King staff, Chen Xianda did it for nearly ten years, which greatly surprised everyone.

In the fifteenth year of Guangyuan, the rebellion of the White Turban Army broke out, and the general Gan Qian led 50,000 troops to quell the rebellion, but the whole army was wiped out, and the Guannai was in danger, and the government and the opposition were shocked.

At that time, many ministers participated in the impeachment of Sima Zhong who stayed behind in Jinyang, saying that he fought passively, always stood still, and sat back and watched the defeat and death of the general Gan Qianbing of Zuo Wuwei, and his people must have different intentions, and Zhao Zhi intended to recall Sima Zhong to return to Beijing to punish the crime.

It was Chen Xianda who persuaded Zhao Shuo to come forward and protect Sima Zhong, Sima Zhong was not asked about his crimes, stayed in his own post, and finally won a great victory in Jinyang, defeated the main force of the White Turban Army, and completely reversed the trend of the entire battle.

There are not many people who can make Zhao Shuo speak, even in the face of his mother Yang Guifei, there are only a few words, few words, but with Chen Xianda, Zhao Shuo's words are relatively more.

"His Royal Highness the King of Chu, there are some people, you should come forward to preach and preach, it is so rampant, not to mention the reputation of His Highness, if it reaches the ears of the emperor, others will take the opportunity to slander, and His Royal Highness will not be able to explain."

Chen Xianda returned to his seat and said softly.

Zhao Shuo picked up the wine glass, took a sip of wine, and said lightly: "Whether this king's reputation is good or bad, in the eyes of my father, what does it matter?" ”

Chen Xianda shook his head, he knew Zhao Shuo's temperament, and it was better not to accept such a topic, so he changed the topic to other directions: "Before Yang Binglin left Beijing, he came to ask to see him, why did His Highness avoid it?" ”

During that time, Chen Xianda went out to run errands and was not in the palace, and only after he came back did he know about it, and at that time, Yang Binglin had already left Fengjing.

Zhao Shuo sneered: "What are you looking for this king? Help him seek to seize the position of the head of the Yang family? ”

"Your Highness doesn't want to help him?"

Zhao Shuo asked rhetorically, "Why did this king help him?" ”

Chen Xianda said lightly: "If Your Highness agrees to help, Yang Binglin may give very generous conditions. ”

"The surname is Yang, this king doesn't like any of them, it's best if they all die."

Zhao Shuo brought the wine glass to his mouth, with endless hatred on his face, and after saying this, he immediately raised his head and drank the wine in the cup in one gulp.

Chen Xianda glanced at Zhao Shuo and said softly: "Over the years, the Yang family has worked hard for Your Highness, and it is better for Your Highness not to say what you said just now, so as not to hurt the hearts of others." ”

Zhao Shuo laughed, his face was smiling, but his eyes were full of unforgettable hatred.

"They put all the treasure on this king, what they value is not the person of this king, but this identity, if it can succeed to the throne of Japan, they are afraid that the first thing they think about is how to empty this king, this king is just a tool for them, both sides have their own needs, so, why should this king be grateful to them? This king can't wait for no one with the surname Yang in the world. ”

Chen Xianda shook his head and said lightly: "It doesn't matter if the Yang family exists or not, even if he disappears, it's not now, His Royal Highness doesn't have this ability, and the emperor can't do it." ”

"Yes, this king really can't do it now, the Yang family... The Yang family..."

Zhao Shuo nodded slightly, his eyes were a little distracted, he muttered to himself, his palms clenched subconsciously, and the cup in his hand was broken....

Chen Xianda looked at Zhao Shuo silently, shook his head, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, the power of hatred can make a person so crazy and persistent, and even now, this has become the driving force for Zhao Shuo to continue to live, as a prince, a person who is likely to inherit the throne in the future, become the Son of Heaven, and become the first person in the world, power and status are not the most important in his heart, which makes Chen Xianda puzzled, he already feels that he is very weird, rare in the world, and the character of Zhao Shuo, the king of Chu, It's even weirder than himself, and I'm afraid there are few people in the whole world like him, at least... Chen Xianda has never seen it. 2k reading web
