In another barracks, Baili Xian and Bi Shu were playing games at night.

Bailixian gently picked up a white piece and slapped it on the pedestal, and smiled and said, "General, it's less than two hundred hands, and the situation is so unbearable. You seem to be a little confused?

Bi Shu uh and said hurriedly: "That's because the Taishi is good at chess skills."

Bailixian shook his hand and asked with a smile: "Is the general thinking about when it is better to remove his armor and return to the field?"

Bi Shu was shocked and denied: "The Grand Master was joking. Although the Central Plains are now settled, the Yuezhi, the Xiongnu and the Donghu barbarians have not yet been settled. It is the time when we are showing our great fortune. How dare you think of removing your armor and returning to the field?"

"General, why do you and me do this?" Bailixian smiled and said, "Sometimes ago, even if you had the idea of ​​removing your armor and returning to the field, the king would not agree. However, now that the senior brother has surrendered to Chu, you have a chance. You are one of you assisting the king in the court, and the other is in the wild, saying that it is perfect, right?"

Bi Shu also laughed, thinking that Bailixian is also a sensible person and knows the secrets well.

If Bai Mo did not surrender to Chu, it would be not easy for Bi Shu to return it wholeheartedly. The reason is very simple. With the character of King Chu, how could he not be suspicious? Maybe he would really send someone to assassinate Bi Shu in the end, because only when Bi Shu died can the King of Chu be truly at ease.

Of course, this is just a guess, and the King of Chu may not be so vicious.

However, after Bai Mo surrendered to Chu, the situation immediately became very different.

Not only because Bai Mo and Bi Shu both came from Guigu, but also because Bai Mo's ability was similar to Bi Shu. Bai Mo was an official in the court and Bi Shu was unemployed in the wild, just like two peerless magic weapons, which brought the technique of checks and balances. In this way, the King of Chu could rest assured to release Bi Shu back to the mountains.

Bi Shu shook his head and smiled, "Taoshi, I really can't hide anything from you."

Bailixian shook the feather fan and suddenly sighed again: "The general has decided to leave. I won't persuade you. After the king has ordered his senior brother, he will definitely not be able to stay any longer. But I don't know when I will have time to relax. Alas."

Bailixian was also inspired. Bi Shu had already reserved a way out of the way out from the beginning and had no contact with various factions. He led the army several times, had no deep relationships with his generals, and even deliberately created trouble to alienate him by the lieutenant generals, so he could easily stay out of the situation now.

But Bailixian is not good at all. First of all, Bailixian is a native of Qin. He never thought about creating a Qin system, but the problem is that generals like Bailimao, Ziche Shi, Xiqilie and other Qin-born men gathered naturally around him, regardless of whether Bailixian is willing or not. He is now a big boss of the Qin-type forces.

What's more, Bailixian is also the eldest brother of the princess Baili Yishui. He is also the prince Xiang Shu and Xiang Yong's nephew. Whether he wants or not, he will be involved in the dispute in the harem! For example, on the way to Hangu Pass, the king once proposed to him that he would abolish Xiang Zheng reform and make Xiang Shu the crown prince, which made Bailixian as a bone and a throat stagnant, and it would be difficult to swallow.

Seeing that Bailixian was a little confused, Bi Shu asked with a smile: "Has the king told you about the destruction?"

"Oh, who said no?" Bailixian sighed, "The king's mind is becoming increasingly difficult to guess. General, I really envy you. You will be able to stay away from the vortex of right and wrong in the court immediately."

Bi Shu waved his hand with a smile. He knew that Bailixian's words were not sincere. Bailixian envied the quietness of the court, but he might not be willing to give up his authority. He smiled and said with a smile: "Taishi, don't talk about these troublesome things, come on, let's play chess, and then play chess, haha."

#############

Xiang Zhuang stared straight at Xiang Zheng and said coldly: "Zheng'er, do you know where you are wrong?"

Although Xiang Zheng was trembling all over, he still gritted his teeth and said, "Children, I don't know."

"You are wrong, that you shouldn't be tragic." Xiang Zhuang pointed to Xiang Zheng's forehead and said, "Brothers are united and their interests can only be cut off by profit, but what about you? Because Zhi'er did not obey the order and offended you in Changle Palace, you became a murderous intention, and then set up a trap to implicate Zhi'er. Your mind is so narrow-minded, how can you achieve great things?"

"Father." Xiang Zheng said tremblingly, "The child really did not harm his second brother."

"The Xuanyiwei has already found it clearly, how dare you argue?" Xiang Zhuang said furiously, "You think that if you don't admit this, the father will not find any evidence? Do you think that if you deny it, the matter can be revealed? The father told you that it is not that cheap, you must be responsible for Zhier's death."

Xiang Zheng burst into tears and said in a trembling voice: "Father, the child is wronged."

"I'm still so stubborn when I die." Xiang Zhuang seemed impatient and waved to the outside of the door, shouting coldly, "Where is Jin Xiang?"

"The last one is here!" Jin Xiang responded.

Xiang Zheng suddenly collapsed to the ground and said sadly: "Father?"

Xiang Zhuang looked at Xiang Zheng coldly and said in a sequel: "Do you know what your father will do with you?"

"Father, father." Xiang Zheng suddenly got up from the ground, walked up to her knees and hugged Xiang Zhuang's thighs and cried, "Father, I'm really wronged when the child didn't harm my second brother, but I'm really wronged."

"If I had known today, why should I have been there?" Xiang Zhuang was unmoved at all.

Jin Xiang took two steps forward to grab Xiang Zheng and said in a deep voice: "Crown Prince, I offended."

Although Xiang Zheng was quite powerful, how could he withstand Jin Xiang's strength? He was so pulled out of touch. He had to shake his head repeatedly at Xiang Zhuang and communicate in tears: "Father, the child is wronged, why is the child wronged..."

Until she was pulled out of the room, Xiang Zheng just shouted for injustice. Although she was afraid of death, she had no words of begging for mercy, and she did not admit that she had designed to frame Xiang Zhi. Seeing this scene, Xiang Zhuang's originally extremely sharp eyes finally calmed down. He waved to Jin Xiang, and Jin Xiang put down Xiang Zheng and bowed and retreated.

Xiang Zheng was like climbing out of a pool, and he knelt down and crawled back to Xiang Zhuang's feet.

Xiang Zhuang asked again: "Zheng'er, my father asked you in the end, do you really have no design to harm Zhi'er?"

Xiang Zheng shook his head like a rattle and kept saying, "Father, I really didn't design to harm my second brother."

"Okay, then my father knows, Zhi'er was not the one you designed to harm." Xiang Zhuang patted Xiang Zheng's face and smiled. "Get up, sit and talk to his father."

"Here." Xiang Zheng stood up in a hurry and knelt down on Xiang Zhuang in fear.

Xiang Zhuang gently stroked Xiang Zheng's face and asked in a harmonious voice: "Zheng'er, tell your father honestly, do you want to be the king?"

"No, no, no, no, the child has no delusion." Xiang Zheng was so scared that he knelt down on the ground again, and said tremblingly, "The child only wants to be the good son of the father. As for the prince who is not the prince and the king who is not the king, the child doesn't care at all. The father lets the child be the prince, and the child is bento. If the father does not let the child be the child, the child will not be the child."

"Get up." Xiang Zhuang helped Xiang Zheng up and smiled, "If you said these words just now, the father believed them. But if you said them from your mouth, the father did not believe them. But don't be guilty, and don't be afraid. The father is not belittled you, but praises you, speaks lies with his eyes, and speaks like a real person. This is the real king."

When Xiang Zheng heard this, he looked up at Xiang Zhuang in surprise and said, "Father, you are..."

"Three years, give your father three years." Xiang Zhuang raised his right hand and stretched out three fingers, and said, "When the father finishes a few major tasks, he will pass on the throne to you." After that, Xiang Zhuang patted Xiang Zheng on the shoulder and said, "Zheng'er, you will become a great king. Under your rule, the State of Chu will definitely become stronger."

"Father, this, this..." Xiang Zheng became more and more surprised.

"Go, now you go and summon Bai Mo." Xiang Zhuang smiled and said, "Although Bai Mo was a false surrender, he had a way to make him fake it and make it true. Moreover, this person has great political talents and will be your loyal minister in the future."

Xiang Zheng stood up blankly and said blankly: "Father, then, has that child gone?"

#############

In less than a moment, Xiang Zheng led Bai Mo into the headquarters of Xiangzhuang again.

After seeing Li, Xiang Zheng wanted to leave, but was left by Xiang Zhuang: "Zheng'er, please stay. Anyway, you will succeed to the throne in three years. Take this opportunity to observe and observe carefully."

"Now." Xiang Zheng responded and sat down respectfully.

Bai Mo was a little surprised when he heard this. Xiang Zheng succeeded to the throne three years later. Could it be that Xiang Zhuang would abdicate?

"You don't have to be surprised Ziyan." Xiang Zhuang said calmly, "You may not believe it. I have never thought of becoming a king. All this is forced by the times. I just want to survive. Now that the world is determined, my life is worry-free, so I can pass the throne to Zheng'er with confidence and enjoy a peaceful life, haha."

"The king's mind is not inferior to that of the ancient sage kings, and the ministers admire him."

Xiang Zhuang smiled and suddenly asked Bai Mo: "Ziyan, do you think I should be called emperor?"

Bai Mo sighed in his heart, but said, "The king has great martial arts, and it is natural to ascend the throne and become emperor."

"Ziyan, this is probably not your psychological statement, right?" Xiang Zhuang smiled, "But it doesn't matter. I will tell you with facts that I may not be as good as the ancient sage king, nor as good as Emperor Qin Shi, but I am definitely more suitable to be an emperor than Liu Bang. In less than three years, you will willingly use it for my Xiang family."

Bai Mo was speechless. What could he say about this?

Xiang Zhuang said again: "Ziyan, after becoming emperor, what is the first big thing I have to do?"

"The first thing the king has to do is to reduce the vassal states." Bai Mo said without hesitation, "The King of Wei, King Zhao, King Yan, King Qi, and King Bei Diao. The throne and fief of the King of Han will be no longer safe, and his life will be worrying."

"Ha, Ziyan, you are wrong." Xiang Zhuang smiled, "It is necessary to reduce the vassal states. I will never tolerate the country in the country. However, depriving the throne and murdering the lives of the princes is a shadow of a gust. As long as they are obediently as the King of Anle in Luoyang, I will not kill them, and the throne can be retained. Of course, it is impossible to replace hereditary."
