Chapter 641: Killing is just a means
When Chu Chen heard Ye Shimin's insincere words, he secretly sneered, and said, "Your Royal Highness Sixth doesn't need to be polite, I have been in Yanjing for a while, and it is the first time that Chu Chen has come to visit, so it's Chu Chen's."
Ye Shimin felt strange in his heart.
Why did Chu Chen suddenly become polite to him?
You must know that Chu Chen didn't give him face before, how many times did he want to kill Chu Chen.
"Commander Chu has something to look for me today?"
Ye Shimin asked.
"There is indeed something, I hope to have an open and honest chat with His Royal Highness Six."
Chu Chen said.
Ye Shimin began to realize it, and he couldn't help but be ecstatic in his heart.
This Chu Chen shouldn't need to find a new object of support because of the death of his second brother, and he has already chosen himself, right?
Although Ye Shimin was unhappy with Chu Chen, he still recognized Chu Chen's ability and his influence in Yanjing now, and knew that Chu Chen would be the key person in the next prince's succession.
In the past, hatred was mostly the result of asking for nothing.
But if Chu Chen changed his attitude and supported him instead, it would be a different matter.
Wouldn't the fourth brother kill the second brother, but in the end he made me, right?
Ye Shimin's happiness can be imagined.
"I was about to exchange views with Commander Chu, but the others retreated and spoke in the main hall."
Ye Shimin immediately smiled and said.
Then the other staff and guards of the prince's palace stopped, and Zhuang Qing stayed outside the main hall.
Chu Chen and Ye Shimin entered the main hall alone.
Ye Shimin invited Chu Chen to sit down, so he couldn't wait to look at Chu Chen and asked, "There is no one else now, what does Commander Chu want to say to me, but it doesn't hurt to say it, don't be taboo."
Chu Chen looked at Ye Shimin and said with a smile: "I have come to ask for sins today, and I hope for His Royal Highness Liu, don't take the past things to heart, and look at Haihan for the things that have been offended in the past."
Ye Shimin was even more ecstatic in his heart, Chu Chen's words were very similar to what he predicted.
"Commander Chu is serious, I also had a lot of things wrong in the past, it should be that I apologize to Commander Chu."
"Commander Chu, please accept Ye Shimin's worship!"
Ye Shimin thought that Chu Chen was hot, and with Chu Chen's help, he had to show a little posture, and he had to put down the shelf, so he actually got up and bowed to Chu Chen.
Chu Chen hurriedly stood up, hugged Ye Shimin, and said with a smile: "Your Royal Highness Sixth, don't be like this, you are the prince, you can't help it, you can't do it."
The two of them acted like this for a while.
Of course, Chu Chen didn't really want to support Ye Shimin.
Instead, he used Ye Shimin to release a smoke bomb, making everyone think that he had switched to the Six Princes, and also used the Six Princes to deal with other princes.
And Ye Shimin was happy.
But he also knows that Chu Chen, if he continues to serve as the commander of the Praetorian Guard in Yanjing, even if he becomes the supreme, he will only be a puppet.
The history of Ye Tianba and the Supreme will still repeat itself, so all that is needed now is for Chu Chen to help him ascend to the throne, and then find a way to eradicate Chu Chen.
After acting for a while, Chu Chen said directly: "Sixth Highness, I believe you should have guessed the purpose of my visit this time, in the future, I, Chu Chen and the Jiangnan Palace, are willing to fully support the Sixth Highness and help the Sixth Highness ascend to a high position."
Hearing Chu Chen's straightforward words, Ye Shimin couldn't help but be ecstatic: "Commander Chu, I don't know how long I have been waiting for you to say this, with the support of Commander Chu, His Highness will have confidence in the future." Commander Chu, if His Royal Highness ascends to a high position, he will never be disappointed, Commander Chu is now a marquis, as long as I ascend to a high position, I will treat each other as a king, Jiangnan Wangfu has two kings, and Tang is the first, I Ye Shimin swear to the sky, if I violate this oath, the sky will thunder and split, and I will not die well!"
Ye Shimin couldn't ask for it, so he didn't hesitate to swear to the sky on the spot.
Anyway, it's just a blank check, and it doesn't matter how high the promise is.
Chu Chen knew it.
Although one door and two kings are indeed moving, Chu Chen understands that there will never be such a day.
The two of them were hypocritical to each other again
Promises, there are serious things.
When Chu Chen left, Ye Shimin personally sent him out of the door, and took out a token in public and handed it to Chu Chen, and said to everyone: "Everyone has listened to me today, in the future, the commander of Chu will be his own person, and his order will be my order, and it must not be disobeyed. Commander Chu, in the future, you can use this token to pass through my Six Princes' Mansion without notifying."
Chu Chen took the token and said with a smile, "Thank you Your Highness for your kindness, I have other things to do, go first, and Your Highness Six will go back."
Ye Shimin said, "Okay, Commander Chu walks slowly."
The entire Six Princes' Mansion was dumbfounded when they saw this scene.
A few days ago, the six princes were in the mansion, and they also threatened Chu Chen to be a thief, and if he didn't kill him, he swore that he would not be a man, but how did he know that now he was so close that Chu Chen became his own person?
There are also people with clever brains who begin to realize that if Chu Chen supports the Six Princes, wouldn't the Six Princes have a good chance of standing out from the princes and ascending to the Supreme Throne?
So, I began to look forward to the future.
The news of Chu Chen's defection to the Six Princes also spread quickly.
As a hot figure in Yanjing nowadays, Chu Chen's every move will be highly concerned.
Ye Cheng received the information in the mansion and was dumbfounded on the spot: "What did you say? Chu Chen took refuge with my sixth brother? How can it be? Impossible, impossible!"
"He and my sixth brother didn't like each other before, how could he support my sixth brother?"
Ye Cheng couldn't believe it.
The staff member of the report said: "It is true, Chu Chen did go to the Six Princes' Mansion, and he also announced in a high-profile manner that he would support the Sixth Highness."
Ye Cheng couldn't accept it: "What's so good about my sixth brother, Chu Chen actually wants to support him?"
In addition to Ye Cheng, several other princes were also in disbelief when they received the news, and at the same time they were filled with righteous indignation.
Chu Chen's support for the six princes means that the six princes have surpassed the other princes all of a sudden and become the biggest favorite.
King Jiangnan received the news and went to the palace to find Chu Chen and talk in the imperial garden.
"You support the Six Princes?"
King Jiangnan asked.
Chu Chen said, "Grandpa should know that I don't really support him."
King Jiangnan nodded and said, "I understand your character, this is really not like your style, what do you think in your heart?"
Chu Chen said, "Grandpa, I want him to die, he should be dying."
King Jiangnan was surprised and said, "Do you want him to die?"
Chu Chen nodded: "That's right, I want him to die, grandpa, think about it, now that several princes have a chance, suddenly one person stands out and becomes the biggest favorite, what will others think?"
King Jiangnan said, "He will be put on a fire frame, and he may be in danger at any time."
Chu Chen said, "This is my purpose."
The king of Jiangnan said, "But what is your purpose in doing this?"
King Jiangnan didn't think that Chu Chen was a murderous person.
Killing is a means, not an end.
Chu Chen has always killed people for a reason.
It's not as arrogant as the outside world says.
