Two years ago, the day after Xie Jiang set off from Tanzhou to Sitian Temple, General Tiance's Mansion. Ma Wangye and Qu Zhongqing were present, and the eldest son of the Ma family knelt in front of the hall.

"Brother Zhongqing, I'm ashamed to make you smile," Ma Wang Ye said to Qu Zhongqing, the first scholar in Tanzhou, who was present.

"Brother Ma, although this is a family matter of the Ma family, the affairs of the Ma family are also the affairs of Jiangnan West Road. At that time, our brothers accompanied Brother Ma to conquer Jiangnan West Road, and they all looked forward to the eldest brother and the horse. Now that the second brother's family has been wiped out, the brothers are cold, and the younger brother is forced to ask," Qu Zhongqing said.

Gangnam West Road has a dark history. The Xianjia army came from the south, passing through Chenzhou, Hengzhou, and Tanzhou all the way to the north to burn and loot the people, and Ma Wangye and his brothers confronted it in the entire Jiangnan West Road.

After the main force of the Xianjia army was driven out of Jiangnan West Road, Ma Wangye was elected by his brothers to become the king of Chu. The Gao family, the Zheng family, the Cui family, and so on, all of these big families in Tanzhou came with Lord Ma. Now, the Gao family has been wiped out by the eldest son of the Ma family, and those big families are really scared into a cold sweat. They didn't dare to act against the eldest prince openly, so they could only ask Qu Zhongqing, a person who was far away in the rivers and lakes, to come out and say a word for them.

Ma Wangye is very old, and most of the affairs in Tanzhou are handed over to the eldest prince. The eldest prince has grown in fledges over the years and has grown into the strongest contender to take over the king of Chu.

"Son, don't apologize to Uncle Qu yet," Prince Ma lost his temper at the eldest prince of Tanzhou who was kneeling in front of the hall.

"Dad, Uncle Qu is a reasonable person, I am not wrong, and Uncle Qu naturally does not need me to apologize. ”

"Brute, you are still quibbling, do you think I don't know what you are doing? You still find outsiders to rob and kill your Uncle Qu, I really don't know whether to live or die. I, I'm too used to you, so that your kid doesn't know the height of the sky, it's really annoying to me!"

"Dad, are you used to me? Uncle Qu is here today, and Uncle Qu will help me reason. Dad, you have sent me to the Central Plains Emperor as a hostage six times, which time is not a life in danger? I have a little deployment in Tanzhou City, and his Gao family will help me pull it out, you don't say anything, you are used to me? So many of my brothers have gone out to be kings, and you left me in Tanzhou and didn't give me a soldier or a horse, are you used to me?"

"Son, you are still quibbling. ”

"I'm telling the truth. Because you are my father, I kneel for you. His Gao family is already covering the sky in Tanzhou, and all the iron money and tea in Tanzhou belong to his family, and if he doesn't get rid of it, he will become a cancer. I arranged for someone to stop Uncle Qu, because I calculated that the person who came did not have the ability to hurt Uncle Qu. What could I be wrong?"

"Son, I will not pass on the throne of the king of Chu to you. ”

"Hmph, I don't care about your throne, in Tanzhou, without you, I am still the king. ”

"Good, good, your wings are stiff. ”

"Dad, you can see clearly. If my wings weren't hard, Tanzhou would have changed a long time ago. Dad, if you think about your situation, can you still figure out how many sons you have? How many of these thirty or so people's names do you shout?"

"Son of Evil, Son of Evil......"

After coming out of King Chu's study, the eldest prince formally apologized to Qu Zhongqing, but was stopped by Qu.

"Since the eldest prince is not wrong, he naturally does not need to apologize. Jiangnan West Road is not your Ma family, I hope you understand the proportions. Now, Brother Ma's health is getting weaker, and the king of Chu is about to succeed to the throne. For those who are heroes, there are some means that should be used. I'm good, I'm good, everyone is watching you. Hello for yourself!"

"Thank you, Uncle Qu!"
