Invincible at the beginning: I seek the world in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 113, Ye's Ancient Clan

Retreat!
Jiang Wangsheng was walking on the golden steps, noticing Chen Bangzhou's calm face, stepped forward, and asked in a low voice: "Did you expect that this trip would be blocked?"

"Let's talk when we go back." Chen Bangzhou looked around and said vigilantly, "The Plum Blossom Guard is nearby."

"Yes."

Royal Hotel
Huang Mengjue stayed outside the room, Chen Bangzhou, Kang Wenyao, and Jiang Wangsheng were in the same room.

Chen Bangzhou said: "Although the empress wants to form an alliance with us, if there is a conflict of interests, she must be based on Nantang. Therefore, there must be people from us near the hostel."

Jiang Wangsheng replied: "Zuoshoujian and some personnel from Dali Temple are ambushing near the Royal Hotel. But except Zuoshoujian, the rest of the people have been detected by Meihuawei."

"It doesn't matter." Chen Bangzhou paused, and asked: "Wang Sheng, Bi Yuntian is in charge of the Plum Blossom Guard. If she conflicts with the left-handed sword, who will win?"

"The sword in the left hand is enough to protect yourself. It's really a matter of life and death." Jiang Wangsheng replied.

Kang Wenyao was surprised, "Is that woman so powerful?"

Jiang Wangsheng replied: "Her umbrella is hidden in her robe. I guess it is a machine-expanded weapon that can be assembled quickly, which means it is more flexible to use. Located in Southern Tang, her advantage will be even greater."

"Then what should we do? Shall we go back and ask for help?" Kang Wenyao asked.

Chen Bangzhou glanced at him and shook his head, "Bi Yuntian can be handed over to Wang Sheng. The purpose of the sword in his left hand is to protect the safety of the embassy. But today, have you met the man who openly opposed the Empress?"

Jiang Wangsheng nodded.

Chen Bangzhou said: "That person is the city defense officer of Tianqingcheng, named Ji Changkong, a ninth-rank warrior, good at wielding giant swords, and has a certain amount of armed forces under his command. He is very likely to be a huge obstacle for us."

"The giant sword Ji Changkong? I've heard about it a long time ago." Kang Wenyao sighed.

Chen Bangzhou asked: "How does Huang Mengjue compare with Ji Changkong?"

Jiang Wangsheng subconsciously said: "It's completely incomparable."

"boom."

There was a sudden knock on the door.

The corner of Chen Bangzhou's mouth was smiling, "Both rank nine, why can't they compare? It's just that Mengjue is still young, so the battle experience is naturally incomparable." As he said, he grabbed Jiang Wangsheng's hand.

Jiang Wangsheng understood, nodded again and again, "Yes, the experience is still a bit lacking."

Chen Bangzhou said: "Apart from these, there is one person we haven't met so far."

"Southern Tang Confucian general—Gao Jinyu?"

Chen Bangzhou said: "Gao Jinyu's strength should not be underestimated. Under such circumstances, although he has different political views with Luantai Fengge, he is deeply trusted by the Empress."

"Bang bang bang."

Huang Mengjue's voice came: "Master Xia Chongshan asks to see Prime Minister Chen."

"Please." Chen Bangzhou hurriedly said.

Xia Chongshan pushed the door and entered, bowed his head to Chen Bangzhou, and Chen Bangzhou got up to return the salute.Jiang Wangsheng and Kang Wenyao hurriedly got up and saluted, "I have met you, sir."

Xia Chongshan waved his hands with a smile, "The two young friends are extremely handsome, and Xichu really has a lot of talents."

"You're welcome." Chen Bangzhou said.

After everyone sat down, Kang Wenyao poured tea for Xia Chongshan.

Chen Bangzhou asked: "If you don't have anything to go to the Three Treasures Hall, Master Xia is here today, why?"

"Prime Minister Chen, this siren really upset me. If Prime Minister Chen doesn't mind, how about just calling me Chongshan?" Xia Chongshan asked.

"Then I'm sorry."

Xia Chongshan cleared his throat and said, "Today, everyone must have seen it. Ji Changkong's blatant objection must have been ordered by others."

"Is it the Duke?"

Xia Chongshan looked at a few people and said, "I don't know if Prime Minister Chen told you about Qianlong City?"

"Slightly aware."

Xia Chongshan said: "There is no one else here, so I will be blunt. After His Majesty ascended the throne, the blood of the late emperor was almost wiped out, but only one person remained."

"Is it her parent?" Chen Bangzhou asked.

"That's right. Your Majesty is a mother after all, so he couldn't do anything to his own flesh and blood, so he stayed. Then, when the Southern Tang dynasty was in turmoil, someone secretly took the child away and brought it to Qianlong City."

Jiang Wangsheng asked: "Is it the Duke?"

Xia Chongshan nodded heavily, "The reason why His Majesty kept that child was to block the mouths of the world. After being taken away, the city was renamed Qianlong City, which is self-evident."

"Because of the eyes of the people in the world, His Majesty can't take it back directly with troops. Over time, mutiny will easily occur." Xia Chongshan couldn't help lowering his voice, and tapped on the table lightly.

Kang Wenyao suddenly realized, "What does your lord mean, let us get rid of that child?"

Suddenly, there was no sound in the room.

Chen Bangzhou lowered his head slightly, pretending to be absent-minded.

Jiang Wangsheng opened his mouth, but stopped talking.

Xia Chongshan was stunned for a long time, but he still didn't wake up from his words.

After a while, Xia Chongshan spat out a few words, "That's wrong."

"Oh." Kang Wenyao knew that he had said something wrong when he saw that a few people didn't react properly, so he shrank his neck and looked at Jiang Wangsheng.

Jiang Wangsheng asked: "How is that child doing now?"

Xia Chongshan replied: "That child is different from others. His intelligence and physical strength are inferior to those of his peers. Today, five out of ten are still unenlightened."

"It's impossible for such a person to ascend to the throne," Kang Wenyao couldn't help but shouted, startling Xia Chongshan.

Xia Chongshan looked around, still in shock, he didn't want to say anything.

Jiang Wangsheng glared at him, and said in a low voice, "Shut up!"

"Okay, okay, okay." Kang Wenyao covered his mouth and looked at Xia Chongshan.

Xia Chongshan said: "The Duke is the main one. Most people support that child's ascension to the throne. Even if they support a puppet emperor, they must guarantee their bloodlines and make plans after they give birth to a child."

"Your Majesty is isolated and helpless in the court. Even though he is high above you, there are more and more people who are dissatisfied with His Majesty." Xia Chongshan paused, and said: "In addition to the reforms in various industries, we have offended the old nobles."

Chen Bangzhou squinted his eyes and said, "Chongshan, what you mean is that if you want an alliance between the two countries, you must let His Majesty control the main power in the court."

"That's right!" Xia Chongshan breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "As long as His Majesty has more than half of his strength, he can suppress those Xiaoxiao."

Xia Chongshan continued: "The Duke of the State Peng Qiushuo, the giant sword Ji Changkong, the Confucian general Gao Jinyu, the servants of the four ministers, and the army loyal to Qianlong City."

Jiang Wangsheng asked: "Are there any neutral forces in the Southern Tang Dynasty? We can persuade them to join His Majesty's lineage."

"That's exactly what I want to say." Xia Chongshan was overjoyed, and said eloquently: "Jiangnan is different from Western Chu, and Beili is different. There are countless famous families, and most of them are businessmen, or princes and nobles, from families of scholars. , and even a hidden family that has been passed down for hundreds of years."

Xia Chongshan said: "Beyond Tianqing City, Daming Lake, the Ye family, have you ever heard of it?"

Chen Bangzhou's eyes lit up, "In the past, the founding emperor of the Southern Tang Dynasty had a close friend who was close to the innate master in power and in charge of tens of thousands of soldiers. After the founding of the country, the two sides reached an agreement that that person would live in seclusion with his soldiers and would no longer interfere in world affairs."

Xia Chongshan nodded again and again, "Besides, the Taizu also made an agreement with that person. In the future, if the Southern Tang Dynasty is as decayed as the previous dynasty, let him bring tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to the sky, and help the orthodox!"

"Then uh back then, I'd better not talk about it." Kang Wenyao's expression was a little aggrieved.

Xia Chongshan understood what he meant, and said: "Your Majesty ascended the throne at the time when we were in turmoil in the Southern Tang Dynasty. Your Majesty used thunderous means to deal a heavy blow to the old nobles and restore peace to the people. From this point of view, it is to bring order out of chaos."

Xia Chongshan continued: "If the Ye clan can be added to us, the political balance can be balanced."

Jiang Wangsheng continued: "When the time comes, beat Gao Jinyu again, destroy Ji Changkong, and completely grasp the power."

Xia Chongshan looked serious, "But every step is very difficult, especially the Ye family. His Majesty went there in person, drank a few pots of tea, and never wavered."

Chen Bangzhou asked: "So Chongshan came this time?"

Xia Chongshan said: "The Ye family is martial arts-loving. I hope Mr. Jiang can go there in person to discuss with the Ye family and explain the interests and interests of the Southern Tang Dynasty and the world today. Understand them with reason, and use emotion to force them to use martial arts."

Xia Chongshan cast a hopeful look at Jiang Wangsheng and Chen Bangzhou.

Jiang Wangsheng looked at Chen Bangzhou.

After thinking about it, Chen Bangzhou nodded, "Yes."

Xia Chongshan coughed, and said: "Recently, Daming Lake will hold a grand event, where martial arts masters will gather. But they hate us officials, so we will have a lot of trouble going there."

"Mr. Jiang went, if he used force rashly, it would probably make them feel dissatisfied."

Xia Chongshan's eyes wandered, and he said leisurely: "My little girl is known as a talented woman. If you let me accompany you, pretend to play, mix in, explain the truth when the grand meeting is held, or meet with the elders of the Ye family in secret, the effect will be better a lot of."
