Chen Ke quietly picked up the wine in his hand, took a sip silently, and said with emotion: "It is worthy of the wine that Zhou Tianzi could only drink back then."

"The entrance is sweet and clear, like a clear spring in the mountains, like a fall from the nine heavens."

After putting down the wine glass, Chen Ke looked at Gongzihui and said, "It's already Ke's luck to be able to take a sip now."

"I just don't know, Chuanyangjun summoned Ke to come, what is the so-called matter?"

Gongzihui looked at the wine glass in front of Chen Ke and just smiled: "It's not too big, just a little curious."

He suddenly sighed: "The old man is now at the age of doing what he wants, and the group of cubs in Confucianism boast that Confucius is a sage."

"But a saint can only live through these seventy-two springs and autumns, and I have already passed the age of a saint."

"After living for so many years, the old man has seen a lot of things."

"Chen Fengchang, do you know what is the most transparent truth that the old man understands?"

Chen Ke shook his head slightly, with a look of vain on his face, but there was a trace of curiosity in his eyes, which happened to be able to be seen by Gongzi Hui.

"Whew—"

The wind was blowing from the courtyard into the house.

Outside, a few dead branches and leaves fell from the trees to the ground, and when the wind blew, I didn't know where they were blowing.

Childe Megumi just sat there, looking at the big tree in the courtyard outside the door.

"The truth is that it is better to rely on anyone than on yourself."

"The most unreliable thing in the world is external forces, relying on mountains and mountains, relying on water and water."

Gongzi Hui said meaningfully: "After all, it is better to rely on yourself than to rely on external forces, and when King Su was at the beginning, he also relied on Bigan and Wen Zhong very much."

"He thought they were the most trusted courtiers in the court, but when someone bewitched him, he trusted the new one."

"Later, Fei Zhong Youhun also felt that as long as he relied on his slander, he would be able to keep his glory and wealth, let the king trust him, and let himself get the wealth of the sky."

Gongzi Hui filled the glass of wine for Chen Ke in front of him, and then said with a smile, "But what is the final result?"

"It's just a matter of death."

Gongzi Hui said meaningfully: "On the contrary, Ji Fa and his son, who had always been loyal back then, resolutely chose to revolt after seeing the fate of Bigan and others."

"What happened later, presumably Chen Fengchang knew more than the old man."

"Ji Fa established the Zhou Dynasty for eight hundred years."

"Why do you think that?"

Chen Ke just silently picked up the wine glass in front of him: "Is it just to tell me a story when Chuanyang Jun summoned me today?"

He smiled: "If that's just the case, please forgive Chen for not having that spare time."

Gongzihui pressed Chen Ke's hand, with a slight composure in his eyes.

"Chen Fengchang is always calm, don't be impatient."

He sighed and hammered his shoulder again: "Chen Fengchang is also a smart person, and he is also a rare and transparent person."

"I'm not going to beat around the bush with Bong-chan."

"Doesn't Fengchang want to divide the seal? I vaguely remember that the first person to support the sub-feudal system was Fengchang."

Chen Ke glanced at Chuan Yangjun, and a smile suddenly bloomed on the corner of his mouth.

"I thought it was something, but it turned out to be this."

"I said, Chuanyang-kun, you're so old, why do you have to fix these things?"

"You have no heirs, even if you are divided into the country, will you be rewarded?"

Gongzihui looked at Chen Ke with his eyes not moving, but at this time, he actually didn't have much time and methods.

"What I am doing is not for myself, but for the sake of the heroes who have established the world with Your Majesty, as well as the descendants of the Ying clan."

There was awe-inspiring righteousness in his tone, like a proclamation

A person who speaks of the righteousness of his heart.

Gongzi Hui's tone sounded lofty, like an immortal god overlooking the living beings in the world.

"The heroes and the clansmen of the Ying clan have established this world with His Majesty, but now they can't get the feud, what is the reason?"

"Is it possible that a mere candidate can repay so many years of sacrifice?"

Gongzi Hui said it righteously and coldly.

But Chen Ke just sneered: "What Chuan Yangjun said makes people think that your sentiments are really noble."

"Let me ask you, what did these clansmen of the Ying clan do when the world was unified?"

Gongzi Hui was stunned, and Chen Ke's words continued.

"If I'm not mistaken, there are a total of thirteen Ying clan relatives who are still alive today, and among these thirteen, no one's ancestors have made meritorious deeds, and no one's ancestors have made even a little merit for the establishment of Great Qin."

Chen Ke stood up and looked at Gongzihui with a cold expression.

"In the process of unifying the world, not only did you not make any contributions, but you dragged down Your Majesty several times."

"You say, what qualifications do you have, what kind of face do you have to mention the sub-feudal system?"

Hearing this, Gongzihui's face turned red, and he looked at Chen Ke standing in front of him, but forcibly suppressed his anger.

"Isn't it a matter of course to divide blood relatives?"

"Will those county guards do their best to take care of the land of Great Qin? The only people in this world who can help Your Majesty are those of us with the same surname!"

Chen Ke just sneered: "People with the same surname?"

"When Zhou Tianzi divided the kingdoms, why didn't he think about dividing them to people with the same surname, so that he could keep Zhou Wannian's Chang'an."

"And now? What about in the first place?"

"Those who fought for the world at the beginning, sat back and watched Zhou perish, and those who saw death and could not be saved, fought for domination of the world, and sought benefits for themselves under the banner of respecting the Son of Heaven, isn't it a person surnamed Ji?"

Chen Ke looked at the person in front of him condescendingly and chuckled.

"So, how can you say such a ridiculous thing when you have learned from the past?"

"Besides, if Your Majesty divides the kings, can you guarantee the peace of the world?"

He pointed to Gongzi Hui and said, "Let me ask you, with the old practice of the Zhou period, are the kings who were divided out at this time still the kings of Qin?"

"Let me ask you again, you keep talking about benevolence, righteousness and morality, and your mouth is full of morality and righteousness, if the world is in chaos again, and the people of Qiantou are not happy, what will you do? Where will you be?"

"With your body, which has been buried in half of the loess, will you fight for Great Qin?"

"Or do you rely on your so-called "prestige" to make those tigers, leopards and jackals give up fighting for the fat of the world?"

Chen Ke's eyes widened angrily, looking at the old decay sitting in front of him.

"Say, how much can you do?"

Childe Megumi just sat there, standing alone and sitting alone, and the atmosphere between the two formed a strange overlap.

"Stepping—"

A soft footstep sounded, and the figure walked slowly, with a calm look on his face.

That's the same old man.

The breath on this old man's body was already a little rotten, and a word appeared in people's hearts when they looked at it.

"Shaped like dead wood."

"Ahem."

With the sound of footsteps and coughing, the old man walked slowly into the room.

He said softly, "Why should Chen Fengchang be angry?"

"Sit down and talk."

Chen Ke squinted, turned his head, and saw the person standing there, slowly coming in.

Chuan Muhou.

That is, one of the thirteen remaining clans that Chen Ke just said, and this one's status is even older.

But he is with Chuanyang

Jun is different.

Chuanyangjun can have today because he took more care of Yingzheng when he was a child.

This one is purely because the status is too high and the seniority is too high.

King Huiwen's widow is the same generation as King Zhaoxiang.

According to age, Chuan Muhou was born in the fourteenth year of Gengyuan, and he is the oldest person in Daqin today, and he has survived several Qin kings.

Chen Ke smiled, sat down, looked at Chuan Mugong and said, "I really didn't expect that in this matter, there would be Chuan Muhou interfering."

Chuan Muhou looked at Chen Ke as if he was looking at a stubborn junior.

didn't care about the ridicule in his tone, he just smiled and said very kindly, "Left and right are just for the sake of the unworthy descendants of future generations."

He sighed and said earnestly, "Actually, I don't know why Chen Fengchang completely changed his position overnight."

"Are you really unwilling to support the separation?"

"Don't you really want your descendants to be able to get this world one day in the future?"

As soon as these words came out, Rao Yi Chen Ke's mind, his hands trembled slightly.

Chen Ke raised his head and looked at Chuan Muhou with sharp eyes: "What does Mu Hou mean by this?"

Chuan Muhou just said kindly, "What does it mean to be old?"

"But if this division is successful, won't your heirs also be able to inherit your position?"

"Who can guarantee that your heirs and your kingdom will not become the next Qin?"

"Maybe in the future, it will be Chen Fen VI Yu Lie, who will come up with a "Chen Clan Zizheng" to once again unify this chaotic world?"

Chuan Muhou raised his head, and he looked at Chen Ke.

Chen Ke looked at him, and could only see Chuan Muhou's cloudy eyes, and Tong Zhu, who seemed to have no light in his eyes.

"Chen Fengchang, do you doubt me, or do you miss yourself?"

"Don't you have that faith?"

"If the Win clan can be unified today, why can't the Chen clan be unified in the future?"

Chuan Muhou coughed softly, and the rotten voice echoed in the small courtyard.

At this time, the wind and snow outside the house began to fall, and the dead branches and leaves continued to drift.

I don't know when the big tree in the yard was planted, but now it looks like it's decayed.

Is his rhizome so bad that it makes him look like it's going to be completely rotten in the winter?

Chen Ke withdrew his eyes looking at the wind and snow outside, and his voice was dark: "Why did Chuan Muhou test me?"

He just said, "Besides, even if I wanted to, what could I do?"

Chen Ke's tone was a little tired and self-deprecating: "You also think too highly of me, what can I do? It's just a pawn in His Majesty's hands."

"Do you really see the general trend of the world clearly?"

"Do you really understand what is stopping the separation?"

"Do you really understand, do you really know, who doesn't want to be divided?"

Chen Ke put the wine glass in his hand on the table again, and said faintly, "If you don't know, then I don't mind telling you."

"If you know, how can you swear to me this?"

Chuan Muhou and Chuan Yangjun immediately heard the tone in Chen Ke's words, and immediately looked at each other and smiled.

A hoarse laugh came from Chuan Muhou's mouth.

He just said, "I know what Chen Fengchang is worried about, but why should Chen Fengchang worry?"

"No matter how powerful he is, he's just a man."

"There is no clan support behind him, and there is no support from ministers around him."

"What else can he do?"

Chuan Muhou patted the table in front of him: "As long as Fengchang supports us, we will naturally be

Find enough people."

Chen Ke shook his head and put down the wine glass in his hand again.

"My support doesn't matter, so Chuan Muhou doesn't have to ask for my support anymore."

Chen Ke lowered his eyes, like a shirt soaked in pitch-black ink, and like a shadow in the corner that covered the dust.

"Mu Hou doesn't have to think too much."

Chuan Muhou's expression remained unchanged, he just looked at Chen Ke and said, "Chen Fengchang's thoughts, we naturally understand."

"You say you'll acquiesce, then we're believing you."

"We're not going to force you to support us, help us, you can stand and be a spectator, can you?"

"It doesn't affect you."

"As long as you don't continue to attack the clan."

"When that day comes, you can stand by Your Majesty's side as a loyal servant of Your Majesty, and Your Majesty will definitely want to find some strength in order to restrain us clans."

"At this time, you, the loyal ministers who have always stood by His Majesty's side, and the rest of the important ministers will be divided, and the territory will not be small."

Chuan Muhou seemed to be unconcerned and said, "Now that you have governed Penglaizhou so well, don't you want Penglaizhou to belong to you one day in the future?"

He looked at Kanyutu and said, "I heard that His Majesty's original plan was to completely divide the six coastal counties to you."

"I think that the name of Penglai is said to be an overseas immortal island, but how can the six counties be successful?"

"Nine digits, Penglai should have nine counties."

Chen Ke's expression moved slightly, and then he just looked at Chuan Muhou with an indifferent expression.

"How can I sway His Majesty's thoughts?"

He chuckled, looked at Chuan Muhou and Chuan Yangjun and said, "If it's okay, I'll leave first."

"There's still something to take care of at home."

As he spoke, he stood up.

After passing through the long corridor, through the wind and snow, I left.

After Chen Ke left, Chuan Yangjun turned his head and looked at Chuan Muhou who was sitting beside him.

"Do you really want to give him the Nine Coastal Counties? The land of the Jin Kingdom back then was nothing more than that."

Chuan Mugong just smiled: "When he has the nine coastal counties, will he still be satisfied with being a king?"

"If he is not satisfied with being a king, and the first person to have a dispute with him is the present Majesty, is Your Majesty a good man?"

"When he has a different heart, His Majesty will command us to be King Qin."

"All the warriors of Great Qin could defeat the world in the past, but now they can't defeat a 'Chen' country?"

Chuan Yangjun was a little dumbfounded, he just said, "It turns out that you have such an idea, but I don't know if Chen Ke will take the bait."

Gongzihui still knows Chen Ke well, how can Chen Ke not see such an obvious conspiracy?

If they see it, will things still develop according to their wishes?

Chuan Muhou just said, "This is not a conspiracy, but a conspiracy."

"I'm betting."

"Bet that Chen Ke will feel that he will be able to withstand the attack of this Great Qin, and bet that Chen Ke will feel that he will be able to conceal our majesty when the time comes."

"Bet Chen Ke has this ambition."

He silently looked at the road that Chen Ke had walked and said, "In this world, is there really a person who has no ambition at all?"

"I don't believe it."

"Everyone is saying that they will not be greedy for power or imperial power, but the moment he really has power, his heart has quietly changed."

"I believe that under the temptation of such great power, Chen Ke will choose to cooperate with us."

"At least he'll choose to be a spectator."

Chuan Yangjun said with a smile: "When Chen Ke becomes a spectator, some people in the court will also become a spectator."

"They've all become spectators, and they've actually become our people."

"Everybody is opposing, they feel that they are not against or support that group, but in fact they are already in the camp of opposition."

"The saying that not everything has black and white is wrong in itself."

"Things in the world are black and white, and the gray areas are black, but they beautify them as gray."

Chuan Muhou also smiled and said, "Do you think the world doesn't know such a truth? It's just that it's in their best interest."

"How good did Zhang Zi say back then?"

"The hustle and bustle of the world is for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit."

"He came for fame and fortune, and the rest of the world is not like this?"

Chuan Muhou dragged his seriously ill body and looked at the heavy snow in the distance: "It's about to be the moon, and it's getting colder and colder."

"Win the bitterness, win the loss, don't pay attention to it for the time being."

"Let some of the others move after the New Year, and put some pressure on our Majesty."

..........

Chen's house

Chen Ke sat in the courtyard, blowing on the cup in front of him, and there were one or two tea leaves floating in the cup.

In front of him sat a young man of great grace, and the young man sat there, and the wind and snow fell on his clothes, and they looked even whiter.

"I said Fusu, what are you doing here when you have nothing to do?"

"I don't know if you're going to be busy lately, teacher? If you have the spare time to come to me for tea, why don't you hurry up and help your father deal with some government affairs."

Fusu coughed lightly, and as soon as he opened his mouth, the literary aura on his body completely subsided.

"Oh, Teacher."

"I've been dealing with government affairs in Penglaizhou for a year, can't I rest for a few days when I go back to Xianyang?"

"Although my father is a close friend of the teacher, I am also a disciple of the teacher."

"How can a teacher be so ruthless to his disciples, just to let his disciples help his father deal with some government affairs and liberate his father?"

Chen Ke just glanced at Fusu, and helplessly held his forehead: "Now you are not used to it, when you ascend the throne in the future, will you have time to deal with government affairs?"

"Don't talk nonsense."

"Only now that you have adapted to this situation, will you be able to successfully take over Daqin in the future, and you will not let Daqin have a turbulent scene."

He looked at the government affairs in front of him, and the laziness in his heart rose a little for a while.

"Ahem."

"But, for the sake of the year you've been working hard, I'll allow you to rest for an extra day."

Chen Ke stood up and stretched.

He had a headache in dealing with official business in the past two days, and there was no movement on the side of Chuan Yangjun and Chuan Muhou for the time being, while Chen Ke's arrangement was gradually implemented.

At this time, it is necessary to see who is calmer.

"Let's go, I'll take you to try the new dishes that the chef has made, and now that Feng Zheng brought back the batch of spices from the Western Regions, he can get more food."

When Fusu heard this, his saliva flowed out a little.

He hurriedly stood up and followed Chen Ke in the direction of the backyard.

Inside the house, the heat is constantly rising in this room.

It's winter, but it's like spring in this room.

"Teacher, did you put a dragon in the house?"

"It's so comfortable."

Chen Ke said with a smile while eating the food on the plate in front of him, "Isn't your Yichun Palace also a land dragon on the plate?"

"What are you here for?"

"You can't really come to me to be lazy, right?"

Fu Su smiled and hurriedly said, "There are a few things coming."

"Feng Envoy Ling has been waiting for the teacher for a long time, when will the teacher have time to take a look?"

"He brought back some messy things, some of which he didn't know what they were, what they did, and he brought them back without seeing them."

"The other thing is the planting of some things, how to plant them on a large scale?"

"In addition, my father has already approved the request of the king of Shang, and when the court meeting is held the day after tomorrow, the king of Shang will be allowed to meet him."

"Father's meaning is to meet Xu Envoy Ling and King Shang in private before the Great Dynasty Meeting."

"After all, there are some things that can't be said in court."

Chen Ke didn't understand what Fusu was talking about, and immediately nodded: "Then wait for tomorrow, tomorrow I will take the time to meet Feng Envoy Ling."

"Also meet with Your Majesty the King of Shang."

Speaking of this, the corners of his mouth picked up a look of amusement: "Gone?"

Fusu said as he ate, "It's gone."

Chen Ke shook his head: "It's really gone?"

Fusu nodded, "It's really gone."

Chen Ke pursed his lips and just said, "You're not curious, what did I go to the Clan Mansion for that day?"

"Aren't you curious, what did Chuan Muhou and Chuan Yangjun promise to me?"

"You're not curious, what do they two want me to do?"

"You're not curious about their purpose?"

Chen Ke looked at Fusu, smiled slightly, and then looked at Fusu's eyes.

Two pairs of dark eyes correspond to each other's shadows.

"Aren't you and Your Majesty curious?"
