On the official road, the flags were clear, and a gorgeous, huge chariot drawn by eight horses marched forward in a mighty manner, escorted by thousands of horse infantry. Along the way, the people gave way and the officials saluted when they saw it.

Sitting in the chariot was none other than King Zhao Shuo of Chu. On the orders of the emperor, he went to the south of the Yangtze River to patrol on behalf of the emperor.

On the road, from time to time I encountered groups of people going in one direction, the direction of Fengjing.

At this time, a group of thousands of civilians, also taking the official road, came from the front. Seeing this, the general shouted loudly, led hundreds of soldiers, and stepped forward to disperse the civilians. His attitude was extremely barbaric.

.

Hearing the noise, Zhao Shuo opened the curtains, looked over there, frowned slightly, but said nothing, and then lowered the curtains.

A middle-aged scribe sitting opposite Zhao Shuo glanced at him, turned around and walked out of the car, waving to the prince's valet Duwei beside him.

"Mr. Chen, what are your orders?"

The captain asked, raising his hands on his horse.

The middle-aged scribe pointed to the front and said quietly: "Go and tell Zhou Yuanli not to be rude to the people or ruin the reputation of King Chu."

"Yes, sir."

The captain took the order and left.

The name of this middle-aged scribe is Chen Xianda. His father, Chen Mo, is a famous scholar in the world. In the early days of Pingzong Dynasty, he once held the position of first among all officials and the right minister. However, it was only for a short time that he had a good command of the world.

The reputation of Confucianism.

Chen Xianda is very talented. He has been known as a child prodigy since he was a child. He has an excellent memory and a photographic memory. He has a good reputation. Many people know him, but he is also very strange, or eccentric, that is, he is not

He likes to be an official. In the first year after Zhao Zhi took the throne, he opened the imperial examination. Chen Xianda won the first prize with his superhuman literary talent. He was favored by Zhao Zhi and was introduced as a chronicler of the political affairs hall. This starting point is not a low one.

But he only worked for less than half a year before he voluntarily resigned, returned home, and quit officialdom. This was a big news at the time and shocked many people. After all, he had just completed the imperial examination and entered the officialdom, and he could directly enter the political hall, even though he was just doing odd jobs.

Like a chronicler, the rank is also very low, but the starting point and importance of this official position are self-evident.

Soon after, Zhao Zhi recruited Chen Xianda back to Beijing to serve as an official. Chen Xianda also came, but after a short time in the job, he didn't want to do it anymore. He wrote a letter of resignation and left directly without even saying hello. This happened several times.

Later, Zhao Zhi once said to his officials: This person is selfish and has no talents, but he is unwilling to benefit the country and the people. I don't need such a person.

From then on, Chen Xianda secluded himself in the countryside and did not care about worldly affairs. He spent all day traveling around mountains and rivers, reciting poems and having fun, and was a man of his own. Until the thirteenth year of Guangyuan, the King of Chu, Zhao Shuo, did not know what method he used, but he actually asked for help.

He hired Chen Xianda as his staff, which caused quite a stir at the time. Just when everyone was speculating on how long Chen Xianda could stay this time, time passed and Chen Xianda, a member of the Chu King's staff who had no grades or grades, became a

It has been done for nearly ten years, and it has greatly exceeded everyone's expectations.

In the fifteenth year of Guangyuan, the White Turban Rebellion broke out. General Gan Qian led 50,000 troops to suppress the rebellion. As a result, the entire army was destroyed, the pass was in crisis, and the government and the public were shocked.

At that time, many ministers impeached Sima Zhong who was staying in Jinyang, saying that he fought passively and stood still, watching General Gan Qian, the general of Zuowuwei, defeated and killed. He must have had different intentions. Zhao Zhi wanted to recall Sima Zhong back to Beijing to punish him.

It was Chen Xianda who persuaded Zhao Shuo to come forward and protect Sima Zhong. Sima Zhong was ignored and kept in his post, and finally won the great victory in Jinyang, defeated the main force of the White Scarf Army, and completely reversed the direction of the entire war. For this reason, Zhao Zhi

The King of Chu, Zhao Shuo, regarded him with special eyes and received many awards.

There are not many people who can make Zhao Shuo speak. Even when facing his mother, Yang Guifei, he only spoke a few words, few words, but when he was with Chen Xianda, Zhao Shuo spoke relatively more.

"His Royal Highness the King of Chu, it is time for you to come forward and preach to some people. They are so rampant and have damaged the reputation of His Highness. If it comes to the ears of the Emperor and others take the opportunity to slander, Your Highness will not be able to explain it."

Chen Xianda returned to his seat and said softly.

Zhao Shuo picked up the wine glass, took a sip of wine, and said quietly: "Whether my reputation is good or bad, what does it matter in the eyes of my father?"

Chen Xianda shook his head. He knew Zhao Shuo's temperament, so it was better not to take up such a topic, so he changed the topic to another direction: "Before Yang Binglin left Beijing, he came to ask for an audience. Why did His Highness avoid seeing him?"

During that time, Chen Xianda was out on business and not in the palace. Only after he came back did he find out about this incident. By that time, Yang Binglin had already left Fengjing.

Zhao Shuo sneered coldly: "Why are you looking for this king? Help him seek the position of head of the Yang family?"

"Your Highness doesn't want to help him?"

Zhao Shuo asked: "Why should I help him?"

Chen Xianda said quietly: "If His Highness agrees to help, Yang Binglin may offer very generous conditions."

"I don't like any of the people named Yang. It would be best if they all died."

Zhao Shuo brought the wine glass to his mouth, with endless hatred on his face. After saying this, he raised his head and drank the wine in one gulp.

Chen Xianda glanced at Zhao Shuo and said softly: "Over the years, the Yang family has tried its best to treat you, Your Highness. It is best for Your Highness not to say what you just said, so as not to hurt others' hearts."

Zhao Shuo laughed loudly, his face was smiling, but his eyes revealed unforgettable hatred.

"They put all their treasures on me. What they value is not me as a person, but this identity. If the king of Japan succeeds to the throne, the first thing they will think of is how to isolate me. I am just a

They are just a tool that both parties have needs. So, why should I be grateful to them? I wish there would be no more people named Yang in the world."

Chen Xianda shook his head and said softly: "It doesn't matter much whether the Yang family exists or not. Even if we want him to disappear, it's not now. Your Highness doesn't have the ability, and even the Emperor can't do it."

"Yes, I really can't do it now, the Yang family... the Yang family..."

Zhao Shuo nodded slightly, his eyes were in a trance, and he murmured to himself. He clenched his hands subconsciously, and the cup in his hand broke...

Chen Xianda looked at Zhao Shuo silently, shook his head, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. The power of hatred can actually make a person so crazy and persistent. Even now, this has become the driving force for Zhao Shuo to continue living.

, as a prince, who is very likely to inherit the throne, become the emperor, and become the first person in the world in the future, power and status are not the most important in his heart. This makes Chen Xianda puzzled. He already feels that he is very important.
