Chapter 575: Hints
As the saying goes, a companion is like a companion tiger, although Xing Tianze is not yet the fifth prince of Xingzhao Kingdom, but people's names are like the shadow of a tree.
Not to mention that Chen Hong was standing in the Five Princes' Mansion, even if the old man of his family came, he would not be able to talk to Xing Tianze in a slightly louder voice, or even the entire Chen family would not have the qualifications to argue with the Five Princes.
Don't look at it now, the Chen family has established its own chamber of commerce, and has also recruited a lot of businessmen to enter it, but Chen Hong knows very well that it is precisely because Xing Tianze defeated Nangong Yuan and signed several treaties that there is now an opportunity for peaceful exchange of business between Xing Zhao and Qingcang.
It is precisely because of this that the Chen family was able to rise rapidly in such a short period of time, and even had the qualifications to become a first-class family in the capital after a few decades.
So now, when Chen Hong heard Xing Tianze's words, why didn't he become so frightened and inferior, you must know that as long as the fifth prince said a word, maybe the entire Chen family would be easily kicked out of this game of chess before sunset this afternoon.
As soon as he thought of this, Chen Hong felt a very inexplicable sadness in his heart, this is the bad thing about these weak families, although the Chen family is already a behemoth for many small families in the capital, but for the existence of the five princes, it is like an ant and humble.
If you want them to disappear in the Xingzhao Kingdom, Xing Tianze basically only needs one sentence to do it.
At this time, the smile on Xing Tianze's face suddenly became rich again, and he waved his hand lightly at Chen Hong and asked him to sit down first.
In just that moment, whether it was Chen Hong's face, his words and deeds, or even other performances back then, they had already reached the situation that Xing Tianze wanted.
Although there is still an old man in the Chen family now, he has not really been in charge for many years, and he has handed over all the power to Chen Hong, so now the latter's attitude is fully qualified to represent the position and ideas of the entire family.
Xing Tianze didn't need the Chen family to show a very humble bow or a flattering and smiling posture, he just needed to make the Chen family afraid of him.
For the fifth prince, from a certain point of view, he will be like what Wu Zhi said a long time ago, Xing Tianze doesn't need too many allies at all, because this will make his actions get in the way, what he wants is that others are afraid of him.
What kind of situation is the best thing to face Xing Tianze, everyone is prostrate at his feet, trembling, because only fear in the hearts of these people does not dare to make a living and think otherwise.
Except for those guards in the Five Princes' Mansion, who are very dead, it is nonsense for others to say that they are desperate to follow, and the reason why those people are following Xing Tianze now is only because the Five Princes can bring them very important benefits.
Therefore, Chen Hong's current performance has already shown that the Chen family is actually afraid of Xing Tianze, because their family's economic lifeline is actually given to him by the fifth prince.
If Xing Tianze felt that there was no need for the Chen family to exist anymore, then even if Chen Hong had great ability in his hands, he would not be able to turn over the palm of the fifth prince's hand.
Suddenly, without a trace, he glanced at Chen Hong very meaningfully, he was ambitious in his heart, but his own ability was not an outstanding existence, such a person was Xing Tianze's easiest to control, and it was also the most effortless existence to control, and the Chen family did have the qualifications to let the five princes be placed as a chess piece on this chess game.
And according to the information in the hands of Wu Trace, according to some information about Chen Hong, the interests of such a person outweigh the harm, and more importantly, he is afraid that the fifth prince will prove that the probability of him betraying in the future is not absolute, but it is also very small.
Although it seems that from the bright side, whether the Chen family can develop and grow does not matter much to Xing Tianze, but if the strength in Chen Hong's hands is placed in ten years, what kind of situation will this be?
Thinking about these without a trace in his heart, he silently sat on the chair and made a very detailed plan with Xing Tianze.
At this moment, the people of the Sun family suddenly stood up, this person was named Sun Li, who was above the court of the criminal Zhao country, and held a second-rate official position in the criminal department.
In the Sun family, it can be regarded as a quite prestigious existence, and there is a vague potential to become the next head of the Sun family, but the appearance of such a person is not enough to make Xing Tianze's heart feel anything, the reason is very simple, no matter what people in the outside world say about Sun Li, but in the eyes of the fifth prince, it seems that his rank and net worth are too low, and he is not even qualified to sit with him in the front hall of the Five Princes' Mansion to drink tea and communicate.
It seemed that he didn't notice the slight changes in Xing Tianze's expression, and Sun Lixian bowed to Xing Tianze very casually.
Then Sun Li slowly opened his mouth, saying that he didn't understand where the goal of the five princes was, and what did he think of the form of the capital of Xingzhao Kingdom?
After hearing this, the corners of Xing Tianze's mouth curled slightly, and he raised his hand to signal Sun Li to continue, wanting to hear what kind of views and evaluations he had on the situation in front of him.
After getting Xing Tianze's permission, an extremely rich smile suddenly appeared on Sun Li's face, saying that now in the court of Xing Zhaoguo, they all know about the life-and-death battle between the five princes and the emperor, and everyone just silently expressed their position.
When he said this, Sun Li suddenly paused, and when he found that Xing Tianze's face was not dissatisfied, he began to talk again.
Sun Li said that the emperor is the only benchmark in the Xingzhao Kingdom, although Xing Tianze is the prince, and the strength in his hands can be regarded as terrifying, which is terrifying, but after all, he is the existence of a human minister.
If Xing Tianze is a tiger descending from the mountain, then the emperor is a true dragon entrenched in the Xingzhao Kingdom, and no matter who can stand out in the end, it will cost the empire its own strength.
As soon as these words came out, the mood of everyone present became extremely heavy, although what Sun Li said was indeed in line with the form in front of him, but after all, this kind of thing was well known, and once he said it, then all the nature would change.
Xing Tianze looked at Sun Li very calmly, and even raised his arm to let the latter continue.
As soon as the words of the fifth prince landed, the smile on Sun Li's face suddenly became extraordinarily rich, and even his slightly hunched body was relaxed again for the first time, as if he didn't take Xing Tianze seriously.
