The scorching sun is scorching, and the cicadas are hiding in the gaps of the trees.

Great Chu State, the first year of Wude, the imperial capital Luoyang, the imperial city of Huamu Garden, Danjian Garden is elegant, luxuriously decorated, on all corners, the crystal is the plate, the ice cube is placed on the plate, and the faint coolness echoes in it.

At this time, on a plum blossom chair in the garden, a handsome man dressed in a dragon robe and a purple and gold crown on his head, about eighteen or nineteen years old, was lying on it, and two first-class palace maids with delicate looks and white clothes were fanning him.

He, Xiang Chi, the fifth-generation emperor of Great Chu, is also a reborn, so there is no need to say much about how to be reborn.

And the establishment of the Great Chu Empire, his Taizu, has a name that dominated the world in his previous life, Xiang Yu.

The establishment of the Great Chu Empire is on the basis of the Great Song Dynasty, the division point between this world and the previous life, mainly in the period of the Three Kingdoms, the three kingdoms in the previous life competed for power, but in the end the world belonged to the Sima clan, and this world is indeed different, Cao Cao did not have the defeat of Chibi, Guo Jia did not fall early, Cao Cao after defeating Yuan Shao, soon beheaded Liu Bei, crossed Jiangdong, forced Sun Quan to death, completely unified the world, established the great Wei, the honorific name Wei Taizu.

After the Great Wei lasted for more than 300 years, it finally led to rebellions due to the incompetence of the late emperor, and foreign tribes were in trouble, but there was no so-called Wuhu Chaohua, and the north and the south were opposed, because another hero stood up, he was Yang Jian, Emperor Wen of Sui.

After the Sui Dynasty, they were the Tang Dynasty and the Song Dynasty.

Chu Taizu Xiang Yu, from the grass and reckless, is the disciple of the market, and the end of the Song Dynasty in the troubled times, pacify all the heroes, complete the unification of the south, and finally with the wealthy family, claiming to be the descendant of the Han Empress Liu Ding, formed a confrontation between the north and the south, the final history of the three-year war, Xiang Yu personally beheaded Liu Ding, pouted the ancestral tomb of the three generations of the Liu family, and finally completed the unification of the world, established the Great Chu, one of the emperors of the ages.

The world of Great Chu followed the territory of the Qin and Han dynasties, and was divided into thirteen states, Sizhou, Yuzhou, Yanzhou, Xuzhou, Qingzhou, Liangzhou, Bingzhou, Jizhou, Youzhou, Yangzhou, Jingzhou, Yizhou, plus a grassland, several suzerains, and the land area was quite vast for this era that still relied on carriages.

And with the unification of the world after Taizu, the Great Chu has experienced three generations of emperors of Taizong, Renzong, and Xuanzong, and the dynasties have been one hundred and seventeen years.

Although he didn't know what about the other traversers, as far as he was concerned, it was as if the heavenly gods had given him a lifetime of pleasure directly.

Why?

First: Through the efforts of four generations of emperors starting from Taizu, the world has long been stable, all industries are prosperous, the population of the country is as high as more than 74 million, and the annual tax has exceeded 80 million taels of silver.

Second: His father, Emperor Chu Xuanzong, only had two sons, one was him, and the other was his elder brother who died before he was ten years old, so from the time he crossed over, he was already the crown prince, and there was no competition.

Third: The military system of the Great Chu State is a bit similar to that of the Ming Dynasty, the implementation of the guard system, the establishment of the five military governors, respectively control all the military status of the Great Chu, and the five military governors of the five military capitals, all by the founding of the country, after the selection of talents, when his father was seriously ill, the five left governors were already all the people of his palace, it can be said that he controlled all the military power from the beginning.

Fourth: His father was diligent all his life and never extravagant and wasteful, so the inner house was also quite full, and he didn't need to worry about money at all.

As for the fifth: it seems that God is afraid that he has not enjoyed enough, and even gave him a terrible ability.

This year, is the first year after he really ascended the throne and pro-government, just turned twenty years old, he has crossed over for five years, including three years as an obscure prince, for which he was scolded by his father a lot, but even so, he still did not show any abnormality, just firmly grasped the group of people in his East Palace, because he knew very well that even if there was no competitiveness, but the emperor always felt that he was the best, the most eloquent, if the son covered the father, even if there was only one son, It will definitely make his father unhappy, so at this time, he would rather be mediocre than perform too early, and because of his mediocre performance, his father was afraid that he would not be able to sit steadily, so he replaced all the governor's mansions of the five armies with people from the East Palace in advance.

Three years later, his father Chu Xuanzong finally died of illness due to excessive fatigue, reigned for thirteen years, at the age of forty-four, and he was safe and sound, and smoothly ascended the throne to become a new generation of Chu Emperor, which can also be said to be the easiest one to ascend the throne since the founding of Great Chu.

"Your Majesty, even the Queen Mother has spoken, or forget it" At this time, in front of Xiang Chi, a eunuch with a round face, a clever look in his eyes, a floating dust in his hand, and a chief robe, said in a low voice.

"What, you're scared" Hearing this, Xiang Chi sat up and asked with a smile.

"No, the slave followed His Majesty at the age of eight, even if Your Majesty let the slave die, the slave would not frown, not to mention that His Majesty still gives the slave so much power and trust" The round-collared chief eunuch immediately said with a touched face.

"Wei Zhong, you followed me at the age of eight, and began to learn martial arts at the age of ten, not only has a calm and calm personality, but also martial arts can fight with the deputy commander of the Dragon Guard for forty rounds without defeat, Jinyi Wei is the first decision since I ascended the throne, how can you give up so easily"

"The slave thanks Your Majesty for your grace, but Zhang Xiang, and the Queen Mother." Wei Zhong said a little worriedly.

The corners of Xiang Chi's mouth raised, and he waved his hand slightly, "Go first"

"Yes," the two palace maids behind him immediately bowed their heads and left.

"Since ancient times, every dynasty and every generation, there are new monarchs and old ministers, Zhang Xiang has gone through three dynasties, highly respected and has made outstanding achievements, but after all, there are three out of sixty, it is time to retreat" Xiang Chi said lightly.

Wei Zhong's heart trembled, and said: "Your Majesty, Zhang Xiang has managed Zhongshu Province for thirteen years, known for his political achievements, and his protégés and former officials are all over the world, if he boldly withdraws, it is estimated that the government and the opposition will be turbulent, the people will be uneasy, and the Queen Mother will also have opinions."

"Withdraw him, the government and the opposition will be shaken, is that Da Chu's surname Xiang, or is it surnamed Zhang" Xiang Chi asked casually.

Wei Zhong's face turned pale, and he hurriedly knelt down and said: "Your Majesty is the king, Zhang Xiang is the minister, the difference between heaven and earth, how can it be compared?"

"That's right" I saw that in the depths of Xiang Chi's eyes, there seemed to be a flash of purple light, and suddenly above Wei Zhong's head, an ethereal golden cloud seemed to appear, and in that cloud, a snow-white crane was sleeping in it, exuding a noble aura.

chose Wei Zhong, not only because Wei Zhong was a slave who had followed him since he was a child, but also because Wei Zhong had this luck, had this ability, and could do it, and there was nothing to hide from his eyes.

The eyes of the Son of Heaven, the view of loyalty and treachery, the clear luck, the hole of the universe.
