Xiang Chong was stunned for a moment when he heard Taoist Wushang said that what he lacked most was power. He laughed and said, "Taoist Master, you are joking. Is power what I lack now?"
There are Taoist priests and powerful people in the world like you inside to help you, outside you have the identity of the prince, and countless military nobles have come to seek refuge, aren't these the powers?"
Taoist Wushang said calmly: "Your Highness is half right. Although these people like us are your people, we are still in the wild, and our words have limited weight in the Beiyan court.
As for the military or the people in the Royal Enshrinement Hall, although they are nominally loyal to you, Your Highness, but now you go to the five armies of Zhenguo and see if you can mobilize the lowest officer?
Even the most junior officer cannot be transferred. Your Highness, do you call this power? Your power is not power, it is just the face given to you by those people."
After listening to Taoist Wushang's words, the smile on Xiang Chong's face gradually disappeared.
Yes, these powers are not his. It should be said that they have never belonged to him.
Although that group of people are nominally relying on themselves, once they have any orders, they still need the consent of the other party before they can direct them. Unlike the Wushang Taoists and the others, if they ask them to go east, they will definitely Don't dare to go west.
Xiang Chong said fiercely: "Taoist Master, what do you think I should do to get the power?"
Taoist Wushang shook his head and said: "It's easy to get it. The power under His Majesty's command is so strong right now. You can give an order casually and place a person into the Fifth Army of the State or the Royal Enshrinement Hall to be a nail. Not to mention taking all the power." Yes, but it is not a problem to get at least part of the power.
However, Pindao does not recommend that His Highness do this, as this will offend the military or the powerful people in the Royal Enshrinement Hall, and the gain outweighs the loss."
It was okay if Taoist Wushang didn't persuade him, but his advice made Xiang Chong even more angry.
"I am the crown prince of Dayan! In the future, the entire Dayan will belong to me. Now I am not taking away their positions. I just want to insert some people, but they are unwilling. Who is this Dayan? Our Xiang family’s, or theirs!?”
Taoist Wushang sneered in his heart, of course Beiyan's surname is Xiang, at least now.
But if there is no one else, do you think you can support the entire Beiyan just based on your surname?
It's a pity that Xiang Chong didn't think of this. The more Taoist Wushang persuaded him, the more determined Xiang Chong was in his choice. All the warriors from the mall sent by Chu Xiu were placed in the five armies of the country and the royal family. In the hall.
The warriors in the mall brought by Chu Xiu are not idiots. In fact, the warriors who grew up in places like Ludu have spent their time fighting. Although they have not been exposed to the intrigues of the outside world, it does not mean that they do not know These things.
But now Chu Xiu has given them instructions. They don't have to worry about anything, and they don't have to worry about power struggles. They can just go as far as they want, acting like they are greedy and crazy for power. The more they offend these people, the better. .
Most things are difficult to do well, but very easy to do badly.
In less than half a month, the warriors in the mall had already caused complaints among the five armies and the royal family's worship hall.
Of the two warriors who were in the realm of true fire refining gods, one was thrown into the royal worship hall by Xiang Chong, and the other was placed in the Dongshan Army within a hundred miles of Beigong.
As for the six true elixir realm warriors, they were one person from the Royal Enshrinement Hall, and one person from each of the five armies of the country.
The more they do, in Xiang Chong's opinion, the more they do their best for themselves, and the more satisfied he will be.
In the Qingfeng Building in Yanjing City, Chu Xiu was sitting in the corner by the window drinking tea, listening to Mei Qinglian on the opposite side reporting on various situations in Yanjing City during this period, of course mainly from Xiang Chong's side.
Although Qingfenglou is a restaurant, its wine is not the most famous. Instead, its various dishes are very good, especially vegetarian food. It is said that the chef once worked as a fire-headed monk in the kitchen of Daguangming Temple.
Of course, Chu Xiu had never seen the monks from Daguangming Temple in this place.
It's normal when you think about it. Those monks have been eating vegetarian food in Daguangming Temple all their lives. It's sad to still eat this after finally coming out.
Next to Chu Xiu, Tang Ya ordered a lot of food and ate there, not even paying attention to the conversation between Mei Qinglian and Chu Xiu.
Guys who play tricks have a dirty heart. Mr. Chu's heart is probably so dirty that it will turn black. That kid Xiang Chong will definitely vomit blood due to being plotted against him. There is nothing nice to say. If you listen to it too much, it will affect your appetite.
After listening to what Mei Qinglian said, Chu Xiu knocked on the table and said: "There is no doubt about this charge? It seems that I think highly of him this time."
Mei Qinglian sneered: "That boy was just a down-and-out prince before. Although he was favored by Xiang Long, his status was different. Xiang Long didn't have time to teach him those tactics. How high can his level be?
Looking at the people around him, they are all the same kind of people as Lin Fengyu. They succeed more than they succeed and fail more than they do. Even Li Qiudi is not clear-headed.
The only guy who is still somewhat scheming is the traitor you sent. It’s strange that he can see that something is wrong.”
Chu Xiu picked up the tea cup and shook his head: "What kind of traitor? It's too ugly. This is called undercover."
Tang Ya raised his head from the pile of food and said, "I mean."
Before Chu Xiu could reply, Xiang Wu came up from downstairs.
Chu Xiu was sitting on the top floor of the Qingfeng Building. With his evil reputation, the only one who dared to let people up was Xiang Wu.
Seeing Chu Xiu here, Xiang Wu said hello casually: "So it's Brother Chu and you are here, no wonder it is so quiet here.
Being famous has the advantage of being famous. If you go out to have a meal, you don’t have to clear the place."
As he spoke, Xiang Wu naturally sat at Chu Xiu's table and shouted down: "Shopkeeper, add a plate of roasted bananas!"
Chu Xiu raised his eyebrows and said, "Has a good reputation? I'm afraid he has a bad reputation, but he doesn't have a good reputation anyway."
Xiang Wu took a bite of the food and said fiercely: "What's wrong with having a bad reputation? If I had a bad reputation, I wouldn't be ridden on my neck to shit!"
Chu Xiu thought of something and said calmly: "Who dares to sit on your neck and shit, Lord Xiang?"
Xiang Wu said with a depressed look on his face: "Don't keep mentioning whether you poop or not when eating, as it will affect your appetite."
Xiang Wu said this, but after the shopkeeper brought a plate of roasted bananas, he immediately stuffed one into his mouth, swallowed it and snorted coldly: "It's not that boy Xiang Chong.
As a prince, I thought I was in heaven, yet I dared to plant a nail into my Xiling Army. If it wasn't for Your Majesty's sake, I would have broken the nail long ago. A weak-minded true alchemy realm warrior, Do you dare to come to my territory to share power?"
Chu Xiu touched his chin. He seemed to want to tell the warriors in the mall that while fighting for power, it was best to avoid irritating the generals like Xiang Wu and the five armies of the country. These guys are not easy to mess with.
For example, Xiang Wu, whose peak combat power is already qualified to challenge the existence of the True Fire God Refining Realm, but the warriors born in the mall are weaker than the warriors of the same level. If Xiang Wu is really angry enough to take action,
I'm afraid they can't even block three moves.
Chu Xiu handed Xiang Wu a cup of tea and said, "I've also heard about this matter. New officials are always eager to take office, let alone the prince. Of course he wants to make some achievements."
Xiang Wu sneered and said: "If you want to achieve something, you want to invade our interests? There is really no good person in the Xiang family royal family. They are all just fighting for power and profit!"
Chu Xiu's face looked a little strange. Is this man confused? He seemed to have forgotten that he was also a member of the Xiang family.
Only after Xiang Wu finished scolding did he react and stuffed a banana into his mouth in frustration.
Chu Xiu asked: "What are you going to do now, Lord Marquis?"
Xiang Wu said depressedly: "What else can we do? Cold salad!
Xiang Chong has just been established as the crown prince. Your Majesty has already become like this, and it is impossible to appoint another one. If I cause trouble for him, I will cause trouble for Your Majesty, so I can only endure it for now."
Chu Xiu had a strange look in his eyes and said, "Can General Beigong and the Royal Enshrinement Hall hold it in?"
Xiang Wu said cheerfully: "General Beigong may look like a rotten scholar on weekdays, but in fact his temper is much stronger than mine.
But I have to endure it if I can't help it. Is it possible that he can really fall out at this time?
The Dongshan Army has been managed by General Beigong for so many years. It cannot be leveraged by others in a short time. The same goes for my Xiling Army.
Anyway, there is no big crisis for now, so I can only endure it for now and talk about it later.
Only at the Royal Enshrinement Hall, it is said that Xiang Chong was also very angry. However, that gentleman usually kept a low profile. In fact, he was not very good at fighting for power. He could not depose the prince, so he could only endure it.
However, he is Xiang Chong's uncle, so he went to reprimand Xiang Chong, but Xiang Chong promised well, but did not restrain his actions at all."
Chu Xiu nodded secretly, that was enough.
Once an impression is created, it cannot be changed. Through this incident, one can imagine how the military and the Royal Enshrinement Hall viewed Xiang Chong.
Moreover, except for Xiang Long, he could not listen to the words of anyone else, even Xiang Chong, the emperor's uncle.
But does Xiang Long still have the energy to take care of him now? Xiang Long has already tried his best to ensure that he will not die now.
In this way, it is not certain what will happen when Xiang Wu and others' endurance reaches its limit.
Just when Chu Xiu wanted to ask for details, a disciple from Zhenwu Hall hurriedly came to report, saying that there was a problem at Zhenwu Hall, and Shen Feiying had a conflict with people from Daguangming Temple.
Everyone from the Zhenwu Hall has gone to support, and the two sides are at war with each other.
Hearing this, Xiang Wu cast a sympathetic look at Chu Xiu: "These are troubled times. It seems that life is not easy for you, Mr. Chu."
