The pattern of the world is complex and there are constant disputes, so it is completely based on the Chuxiang State in the era of the vassal states in the way of business, so naturally they have their own heritage.

The most recent war in which Chu Xiangguo participated was seventy years ago, and because the time was relatively long, even if it was Wuxian and Xing Tianze, they could only deduce the course of the year from the words of the classical records.

At that time, although the national strength of Fuyang State was not as strong as it is now, it was still relatively strong, and the monarch at that time was extremely ambitious, wanting to annex Chuxiang State in one fell swoop and make it a military salary to support their three armies, so as to annex all the forces in the world.

Therefore, Fuyang State suddenly raised an army of 400,000 to attack Chu Xiang Kingdom, but the latter showed the true meaning that money can make ghosts grind, and spent 50 million taels of gold to borrow 300,000 soldiers from the land of Baiyue and Xingzhao.

And promised the two countries that if they could repel the army of Fuyang State, then they would be rewarded with 30 million taels of gold after the deed was completed.

Although 80 million taels of gold is an extremely significant wealth from a monetary point of view, Chu Xiangguo took it out at one time, and only spent money to repel the three armies of Fuyang State, not to mention, and they themselves did not lose a city or pool, even the most basic soldiers did not lose a single one.

Just when Xing Tianze told Tao Mingxi in detail everything he knew, the two had returned to the Five Kings Mansion unconsciously.

Traceless was sitting in the courtyard in front of the study, brewing a stream of tea on the stone table, and lighting a small incense burner of sandalwood, which looked very leisurely and wandering.

After hearing what the two were talking about, Wu Zhi didn't mind explaining that the person who would enter Beijing in five days was Chu Chong, the second son of the current emperor of Chu Xiangguo.

"It turned out to be a prince, no wonder he can be called a big man by our prince." Tao Mingxi poured himself a cup of tea, turned his head to look at Xing Tianze, and asked: "You said on the road that everyone in the court wants to cling to him, I don't know if you are here for everyone?" ”

"Don't think of this king as those who are greedy for wealth, besides, Chu Chong's visit this time is not just to try it." Xing Tianze said again and again.

Wuxian patiently explained on the side, although the current Chu Xiang Kingdom is very rich, but their emperor himself has reached the age of sixties, and some time ago he suddenly became seriously ill, and his days are running out.

Moreover, the emperor of Chu Xiangguo has not yet established a candidate for the prince, if he does not mention it in one breath, then his eldest son Chu Nian is definitely the first candidate.

In addition, Chu Nian had already begun to get in touch with the political affairs of Chu Xiangguo six years ago, and in the past few years, he has even attracted important ministers to form parties for personal gain.

Therefore, today's Chu Xiang Kingdom is really not necessarily an empire in the hands of the emperor, if Chu Nian, who is in power, does not have scruples and rash actions, he will be charged with killing the monarch and killing his father, then he will be able to ascend the throne and become the emperor.

"Isn't it a legitimate thing for a son to inherit his father's business?" Tao Mingxi looked at Wuxian in surprise, Chu Xiangguo was so far away from Xingzhao Kingdom, he talked about other people's affairs as if he was like a few treasures.

"The princess is too naïve." After hearing this, Wuxian couldn't help but shake his head slightly: "Although Chu Chong is the second son of the emperor of Chu Xiangguo, both his literary talent and strategy are above Chu Nian. ”

The meaning that Traceless wants to express is very clear, Chu Chong has become a thorn in his eldest brother's side, if Chu Nian ascends to the great treasure, in order to stabilize the power in his hands and his own status, he will definitely kill his own brother.

Chu Chong's choice to visit Xing Zhaoguo at this time seemed to be the best opportunity to lose the power and seize the throne, but he was already out of the scope of possible murder.

No matter how rich Chu Xiangguo is, he will not be able to manage the affairs of Xing Zhaoguo, no matter how great the power in Chu Nian's hands is, he will definitely not offend Xing Tianze's majesty.

Traceless sighed deeply, how many years have it been since ancient times, and how many fratricidal things between brothers have happened in the emperor's family?

"Then according to what you say, Chu Chong can be regarded as smart." Tao Mingxi nodded as if he didn't understand.

"No, no, although Chu Chong is an envoy to the Zhao Kingdom, coupled with his identity as the second prince of Chu Xiangguo, he will definitely encounter many people flattering him." From time to time, Wuxian used the index finger of his right hand to move slightly on the stone table: "But not to mention the homesickness of being in a foreign country, even if he can hide for a while, he will not be able to hide for a lifetime, if he is still smart, after arriving in the capital, he will definitely take the initiative to visit the five princes." ”

Tao Mingxi thought silently for a while and immediately understood, almost all of these people who play with power and politics know that the current Xing Zhaoguo can be said to be Xing Tianze's final say, if Chu Chong can get his help, let alone any self-preservation problems, it is still a question of how long his brother Chu Nian can live.

"No wonder you put on a steady look, you've already seen this." Tao Mingxi didn't know how these two men's heads grew at all, why were they so smart?

Xing Tianze smiled and drank a cup of tea, and after glancing at Wuji, he deeply understood what the other party meant.

Although it will take some time for Chu Xiangguo's affairs to be dealt with, if they can help Chu Zhong up, then they will naturally be able to get corresponding help, and it will be easier for them to deal with some things in the future.

They were not the only two of the world's wisest men, and the Emperor had clearly seen this, and no one could have guessed how he would interfere.

How deep the water of Chu Xiangguo is, only those who have tried it know how to play this game of chess, where to land and when to collect it.

Don't get along with money with anyone, although Xing Tianze is not a person who lacks money, he doesn't mind being able to have more wealth.

Therefore, Chu Zhong can be called a big man, and it is also the big stone that Xing Tianze has always wanted to stir up the water of the capital.

"If nothing else, Chu Zhong will arrive in the capital in three days." Traceless is a very sure opening.

"Didn't you say it would be five days before it arrived? Why has it become three days again? Tao Mingxi didn't understand what he meant when he said this.

"Five days is just to hide people's eyes, if Chu Chong is a smart person, he must definitely enter the capital in advance to make plans." Traceless gently shook the teacup in his hand.

At the same time, the Emperor in the palace was sitting in the Imperial Garden, and there was no one else except for the guards who were twenty paces away from him.

The emperor looked at the flowers competing in the garden, and his eyebrows revealed deep thoughts.
