He had already said that he would not arrive in the capital of Xingzhao Kingdom until four days later, but now that he had arrived in advance, he had secretly placed Xing Tianze, and if the emperor knew this, he would definitely be dissatisfied with him.

Moreover, the most important thing for the emperor is actually interests, although Chu Chong is the second prince of Chu Xiangguo, he is not a person who really holds great power after all, and for the emperor of Xingzhao Kingdom, the person he wants to make the most friends with is actually his eldest brother Chu Niancai.

If the two of them really colluded together, then Chu Zhong was entering the palace to seek the emperor's help, so what was the difference between throwing himself into the net?

Xing Tianze is different, what he values is the chess game of the whole world, and he will not collude with Chu Nian because of the current petty profits, Chu Chong knows very well what kind of character his eldest brother is, and he has long been involved in the struggle for power, and all he is full of is the way of power and scheming, but other than that, he does not have any real talent and learning.

It was precisely because of the power in his hands that Chu Chong had to send an envoy to Xingzhao State to stay away from the land of right and wrong in Chu Xiangguo.

He had long heard that the Traceless Son of Xing Zhaoguo was resourceful and predictable, and the Fifth Prince, Xing Tianze, was a man like no other in the world, if Chu Chong could get their help, then his own strength would inevitably increase several times, and he might even be able to take Chu Nian's life with a single move.

Traceless sighed secretly in his heart, although Chu Zhong was rich in literary talent, his heart was too naïve, so that such a simple and clear situation could not be seen.

However, in other words, it is not good for the chess pieces to be too smart, and sometimes they will seem difficult to control, which is why he and Xing Tianze will form an alliance with Chu Chong, who is at a disadvantage, and will not cooperate with Chu Nian, who has an advantage in the Chu Xiang Kingdom.

It is precisely because Chu Zhong is at a disadvantage that he attaches importance to Xing Tianze and Wuji, and in many cases he can't do without them at all.

Xing Tianze didn't do too much idle work, and directly asked people to arrange a room for Chu Chong.

After Chu Chong struggled again and again, he finally spoke with difficulty: "The Fifth Prince's decision is clear, presumably you and the Traceless Prince's intention are already clear about my intention." ”

"Prince Chu, you have to remember how many years have passed through the ages, but how many people who were born in the emperor's family can't help themselves." Xing Tianze replied very vaguely: "Judging from some of the times, you and I have similar backgrounds?" But born in this troubled world, only keep climbing, only when you climb to the top of the mountain, you are qualified to look down on and even pity those who are climbing the mountain. ”

"Although the emperor's house will bring us wealth and glory that ordinary people can't imagine, living in it is like sailing against the current, and if you don't advance, you will retreat." Xing Tianze lowered his eyes slightly.

He didn't want to turn against the emperor, but Xing Tianze not only wanted to live for himself, but also for those who injected hope and strength into him.

Chu Chong didn't say anything while drinking tea, he knew where the gap between him and Xing Tianze was, neither of them was the eldest son in the royal family, and their sensitive identities brought them a lot of trivial matters.

But Xing Tianze was able to keep climbing up, and now he has even reached the time to be proud of the world's leaders, such a feat makes Chu Zhongzhong feel deeply out of reach.

The lunch at noon was no different from usual, Xing Tianze did not make a big deal for him because of Chu Chong's arrival, whether the two met secretly at this time, or after the latter met Emperor Xingzhaoguo many days later, they could not meet casually, because it was too easy to attract criticism.

After Chu Chong, who was not strong enough to drink at night, was put down by Xing Tianze on the table, he asked people to send him back to the room to rest, and after the fifth prince shook his head, he slowly returned to the study, and without a trace was looking at one bamboo slip after another in front of the desk.

These are all collected by people without a trace, and there are things about Chu Xiangguo.

It turned out that Chu Nian and Chu Chong were not biological siblings, they were both sons born to the emperor's concubines, and in addition to the two of them, the emperor of Chu Xiang had many sons, but the third son Chu Shu was born to the orthodox queen.

Although the rest of the princes were quite accomplished in business, it was a pity that their hearts did not yearn for the life of the court, so they were not enough to become the opponents of the three of them.

Among the three, Chu Nian's strength is undoubtedly the most powerful now, and nine out of ten forces in the entire Chu Xiang Kingdom have been firmly grasped by him.

In addition, Chu Chong, who was the most envoy to Xingzhao Kingdom, was valued by a prince of Chu Xiangguo for his literary talents, so he was not without officials who supported him in the court.

As for Chu Shu, although he was the son born to the empress, he had not been canonized as the crown prince by the emperor until now due to his age, and among the three, only the strength in his hands was the weakest, so it was not worth Xing Tianze and Wuxian to bother at all.

"The prince who supports Chu Zhong seems to be quite powerful." Xing Tianze picked up the scroll and looked at the record on it, frowning slightly.

Being able to fight with Chu Nian, who holds the power alone, is enough to prove that the prince occupies a lot of strength in the Chu Xiang Kingdom, and at least he can compete with the eldest prince in the court.

Without a trace slowly gave an explanation, this prince was not only the brother of the emperor of Chu Xiangguo, but both of them were obsessed with Chu Chong's mother when they were young.

As for why he chose Chu Chong, whose power is slightly inferior to Chu Nian, it is very likely that it is the reason for Aiwu and Wu.

"This prince doesn't seem to have much power in the Chu Xiang Kingdom, but he has the lifeblood of the entire Chu Xiang Empire in his hands." A smile appeared on the faceless face.

Everyone knows that Chu Xiangguo started by doing business, so in the hands of the emperor, he has always held an extremely large set of business maps, which can be said to be the core of their entire empire.

However, Emperor Chu Xiang had an extremely good relationship with the prince's brother, and after canonizing Chu Chong's mother as a concubine, in order to compensate for the emotional wounds suffered in his brother's heart, he shared with him the business map that was more precious than the imperial jade seal.

From a certain point of view, the current emperor of Chu Xiang really wants beauties not to be beautiful, but presumably he didn't expect that what he did at the beginning would actually add capital to Chu Chong who can now be based in the country.

"Chu Xiangguo can't eat it, we can only use it as a bag, and we can't completely turn him into a cooked duck in our mouths." After thinking for a long time, Su Ye let out a long sigh, and finally shook his head lightly and looked at Xing Tianze.

If an empire or a kingdom wants to survive forever, it must have a set of foundations that have been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
