The capital of Wu Guoguo, Gusu.

Wu Lord Hou Shen was in his early forties, and it was the time of spring and autumn. The national strength of Wu is not as good as that of Chu, but Hou Shen's children are all dragons and phoenixes.

Cai Tong was thrifty, that is, as the lord of a country, he did not build a palace, but spent all his money on the military, government and people's livelihood.

But Hou Shen is different, he likes luxury, and even the whole Wu country is advocating extravagance.

In the city of Gusu, there is a palace established by the Zhou room in the past. After Hou Shen founded the country, he expanded and built it, and surrounded it as a residence.

Kure Palace.

"Father!"

Hou Shen's four sons and two daughters all came to the palace at this moment, and their faces were a little angry. Perhaps among other families, the struggle between the heirs is fierce, and even Huan Wu's sons are not exempt from vulgarity. But Hou Shen's children are unusually united.

When they heard that their father was going to put their younger brother Hou Quan into the palace of the Shu king, they were very unfair.

"Father, why did you want to give your brother to Xia Gongni?"

Hou Shen's eldest daughter Hou Zhaoji was the first to stand up, but she was heroic and cool. Unlike ordinary women, who like jewelry, Hou Shen's two daughters are like men, and they like handsome horses and weapons.

Hou Shen has a headache, others are having a headache because of the discord between their children, but Hou Shen has a headache because his children are too united.

These six children were united, and often Hou Shen's orders were overturned by them many times. Although it turned out later, Hou Shen's order was indeed wrong.

"What do you have any doubts?"

"I'm in doubt."

Hou Shen's eldest son, Hou Tao, stood up, he was fifty-five out of twenty, and he was mighty and tall.

"Although the King of Shu Xia Gong Ni has a good name, after all, he is just a little doll less than ten years old. Although she is the designated heir of today's son, but in the world of the Great Zhou, it is gone if she says no. Is my father willing to sacrifice his brother's life for the sake of an orthodox name? ”

Although Hou Shen founded the country, he was still a minister of the Great Zhou. Hou Tao's words can be described as a big rebellion. The heart of disobedience is obvious.

Hou Shen didn't feel that there was anything wrong. He rebelled against the old lord and stood on his own, swallowing his lord's territory and establishing the current foundation. For the so-called courtesy, righteousness and shame, he does not care about it at all, let alone the so-called orthodoxy.

"I agreed to this family business, not because of Xia Gong Nirvana, but because of Yang Xian." Hou Shen stood up and said to a goddaughter, "Yang Xian is only twenty this year, and he already controls the land of Yizhou, and he dares to compete with Huan Wu. Just ask the six of you, who can do it? ”

Although the six people had unconvinced expressions on their faces, none of them spoke. They were young and vigorous, but they had to admit that Yang Xian was better than them.

Hou Shen saw that the sons were silent, and continued: "The enmity of Huan Yang IX, Huan Wu regards Yang Xian as a big trouble, and even gambles on the national fortune of Liang State, and wants to capture and kill Yang Xian. In the battle outside the pass of Kebaocheng, Yang Xian relied on 50,000 troops to defeat Zheng Da's 70,000 army and behead 20,000 in October. Such a person, born in the world, is really respectable and terrifying! ”

"Father, are you afraid of Yang Xian, so in order to appease him, did you let Brother Quan enter the Xia Palace?"

Hou Shen's youngest daughter Hou Yueji said very dissatisfied. She is only fourteen this year, but she is loved by her father and brother, and she has been lawless since she was a child, even Hou Shen dares to contradict her.

"I'm a little scared!"

Hou Yueji wanted to provoke her father, but as soon as Hou Shen said this, all the sons' faces changed.

"When Yang Zhong established the Shu Kingdom, I was only a small school captain. You have not lived through that era and do not know how terrible it is. Even Huan Wu can only snort. Today's Yang Xian is blue. If such a person does not die in this battle, within ten years, the world will inevitably change greatly. ”

"A big change? Huan Wu was defeated in this battle, and he is still the most powerful prince in the world, and he has an overwhelming advantage over us. Could it be that Yang Xian can really go north out of the Central Plains? ”

Hou Shen's second son, Hou Zhi, said with some disdain. He didn't believe at all that he could defeat the Liang army with the power of Shu alone.

The Shu road is difficult, and the Liang army is on the defensive, but as long as more than 100,000 soldiers and horses are piled up on the border of Yongzhou, it will consume and consume the Shu army.

"But don't forget, Yang Xian is only twenty years old, and Huan Wu is already in his fifties this year. Although his Yang family is short-lived, Huan Wu may not be able to survive him. If Huan Wu died, who else would be Yang Xian's opponent among his sons? ”

Lord Wu Hou Shen is often confused in small matters and needs to be reminded by his children. But in the general trend of the world, he sees it very accurately. He was keenly aware of the subtle changes in the situation in the world.

"Why is Huan Wu so eager to attack Shu? It is just to remove the biggest obstacle for his children in his lifetime. Because he knew that if he died, no one of his sons, including Huan Jue, would be Yang Xian's opponent. If we want to sit back and watch Liang Shu lose, we must help Yang Xian at a critical time. And by the reason of marriage, it is the best opportunity. ”

After Hou Shen's words, his six children were already convinced. But they were still a little unwilling, and said: "But why is Brother Quan, he is obviously the smartest of us, and he will definitely have a great future in the future." ”

Hou Shen shook his head and said, "I can't help it." If I can, I also want to marry Yang Xian directly. But Yang Xian already has two women by his side. One of them is Ye Dongyang's daughter, and the force behind them is the Dongyang Sect. One is Jing Bottle, and behind it is Yan Guo Jingyun. If I marry Zhao Ji or Yueji, will I let you be Yang Xian's concubine? What's more, none of those two women are good at stubble, and you two girls may not be able to deal with it, I'm afraid you will only be angry. ”

Hou Shen's gaze shifted from the two daughters to the sixth son, Hou Quan. Hou Quan is sixteen years old this year, but he looks heroic, and he is a rare beautiful man.

Hou Shen put his hand on his shoulder and said, "But Xia Gong Nirvana is different. Quan'er, if you can control it in the palm of your hand, calm down and plan well. As soon as Yang Xian dies, then the Shu Kingdom will be yours. ”

"My son understands! If we get the Shu Kingdom, then the Chu Kingdom will also be in our pocket. When the time comes, my Hou family will be able to stand across the river from the Huan family and divide the world into two. ”

Hou Quan gave up his hand, his face was resolute, and his words showed great ambition.

Hou Shen looked at Hou Quan with some relief, only he understood his mind. Hou Shen turned around and turned his back to a goddaughter.

"Don't worry, the King of Shu is less than ten years old, and the outcome of this battle is even more difficult to know. Although Wu Shu has the name of marriage, it may not have the reality of marriage. At this moment, let's sell my favor to Yang Xian first! ”
