Chu and Han contend for the throne

Chapter 551 Father and Son

In another barracks, Bai Lixian and Bi Shu were playing games at night with lights on.

Bai Lixian gently picked up a white piece and slapped it on the scale, and said with a smile: "General, it's only less than two hundred hands, and the situation is so dire, you seem to be out of your mind?

Bi Shu snorted, and hurriedly said, "That's because the grand master is good at chess."

Bai Lixian shook his hand, and asked with a smile: "Is the general thinking about when to disarm and return to the field?"

Bi Shu was startled and denied it: "The Grand Master was joking. Although the Central Plains is settled now, the barbarians such as the Yuezhi, Xiongnu and Donghu have not yet been pacified. It is time for us to show our ambitions. How dare we recklessly disarm and return to the fields?" thoughts?"

"General, why do you and I have to do this?" Bai Lixian smiled and said, "A while ago, even if you had the idea of ​​disarming and returning to the fields, the king would not agree, but now senior brother You have already descended to Chu, but you have a chance, one of you assists the monarch in the court, and the other writes a book in the wild, it is perfect, isn't it?"

Bi Shu also laughed, thinking that Bai Lixian is also a sensible person, and knows the trick.

If Bai Mo did not surrender to Chu, it would not be easy for Bi Shu to retreat completely. The reason is very simple. With the character of the king of Chu, how could he not be suspicious of a peerless military strategist like Bi Shu?Maybe they will send someone to assassinate Bi Shu in the end, because only when Bi Shu dies, the King of Chu will really feel relieved.

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

But after Bai Mo descended to Chu, the situation was immediately different.

Not only because Bai Mo and Bi Shu came out of the gate of Guigu together, but also because Bai Mo's ability is similar to that of Bi Shu. Bai Mo is an official in the court, and Bi Shu is idle in the wild, like two peerless magic weapons. The art of checks and balances, in this way, the king of Chu can rest assured to release Bi Shu back to the mountains.

At that moment Bi Shu shook his head and said with a smile, "Grand Master, I really can't hide anything from you."

Bai Lixian shook his feather fan, then sighed again: "The general has made up his mind to go, I won't persuade you anymore, after the king has Senior Brother Ling, I think he won't stay in trouble again, but I don't know when I will be free ,well."

Bai Lixian also expressed his feelings. Bi Shu had already reserved a way out from the beginning, and had no contact with various factions. Create trouble and let the lieutenant general alienate him, so now he can easily stay out of the situation.

But Bailixian can't do it. First of all, Bailixian is from Qin. He never thought of creating a Qin family. All gathered around him, whether Bai Lixian was willing or not, he is now the leader of the Qin faction.

What's more, Bailixian is still the eldest brother of Princess Baili Yishui, and the nephew of Prince Xiang Shu and Xiang Yong. Whether he is willing or not, he will be involved in the harem dispute!For example, on the way to Hanguguan, the king once proposed to him that he should abolish the political reform and establish the project as a prince, which made Bai Lixian feel like a bone-stuffed throat and hard to swallow.

Bi Shu saw that Bai Lixian was a little out of his mind, so he asked with a smile: "Did the king tell you about the abolition of the establishment?"

"Hey, who said otherwise?" Baili Xianchang sighed, "Your Majesty's thoughts are becoming more and more 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 smiled and waved his hands. He knew that Bai Lixian's words were not sincere. It may be true that Bai Lixian envied the quietness away from the court, but he might not be willing to let him give up the power in his hand. He smiled and said: "Grand Master, don't talk about these troublesome things, come on, let's play chess, and continue to play chess, ha ha."

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

Although Xiang Zheng was trembling all over, he still gritted his teeth and said, "Boy, baby doesn't know."

"Your fault is that you shouldn't kill each other." Xiang Zhuang pointed to Xiang Zheng's forehead and said, "Brothers are of the same mind, and their benefits can break the gold, but what about you? After seeing you, you became murderous, and then cleverly set up traps to assassinate Zhier, how can you achieve great things with such a narrow mind?"

"Father." Xiang Zheng said in a trembling voice, "The child really didn't harm the second brother."

"Xuan Yiwei has already found out, how dare you argue?" Xiang Zhuang said angrily, "You think that if you don't admit this matter, your father will not be able to find evidence? Do you think that if you deny it, you will be able to expose the matter?" Ever? My father told you that it’s not such a cheap thing, you have to be responsible for Zhi’er’s death.”

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

"You're still so stubborn when you're about to die." Xiang Zhuang seemed impatient, he waved his hand outside the door, and said coldly, "Where is Jin Xiang?"

"The end is here!" Jin Xiang entered in response.

Xiang Zheng collapsed to the ground and said mournfully, "Father?"

Xiang Zhuang looked at Xiang Zheng coldly, and said solemnly, "Do you know what my father will do to you?"

"Father, father." Xiang Zheng suddenly got up from the ground, walked up to his knees and hugged Xiang Zhuang's thigh, crying, "Father, the child did not harm the second younger brother, it is really wronged, really wronged."

"If I knew today, why bother?" Xiang Zhuang was not moved at all.

Jin Xiang took two steps forward and grabbed Xiang Zheng, said in a deep voice, "Prince, I offended you."

Although Xiang Zheng was also quite powerful, how could he hold Jin Xiang's physical strength, he was grabbed and couldn't move at once, so he could only shake his head at Xiang Zhuang and exchanged tears: "Father, my son was wronged, my son was wronged..."

Until he was kicked out of the room, Xiang Zheng just yelled his injustice. Although he was terrified to death, he never said a word of begging for mercy, let alone admitting the fact that he designed to frame Xiang Zhi. Seeing this scene, Xiang Zhuang was extremely fierce His eyes finally softened, and he waved to Jin Xiang immediately, and Jin Xiang put down Xiang Zheng, bowed and retreated.

Xiang Zheng crawled back to the foot of Xiang Zhuang on his knees, as if crawling out of a pool.

Xiang Zhuang asked again: "Zheng'er, my father finally asked you, did you really plan to harm Zhi'er?"

Xiang Zheng shook his head like a rattle, and said repeatedly: "Father, the boy really didn't plan to harm the second brother, really didn't."

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

"Here." Xiang Zheng hurriedly got up, knelt and sat down on the side of Xiang Zhuang tremblingly.

Xiang Zhuang caressed Xiang Zheng's face, and asked in a harmonious voice, "Zheng'er, tell father the truth, do you really want to be king?"

"No, no, my child has absolutely no delusional thoughts." Xiang Zheng knelt down on the ground again in fright, and said in a trembling voice, "My child just wants to be a good son of the father. Don't care, if the father makes the child the crown prince, the child will be right, but if the father does not let the child be the prince, the child will not be the prince."

"Get up, get up." Xiang Zhuang helped Xiang Zheng, and said with a smile, "If you said what you said just now from Zhier's mouth, my father would believe it, but when it came out of your mouth, my father would not believe it, but you Don't be guilty, let alone be afraid, Father is not belittling you, but praising you, open your eyes and speak nonsense, and what you say is true, this is the real king."

Hearing this, Xiang Zheng raised his head, looked at Xiang Zhuang with some suspicion, and said, "Father, this is..."

"Three years, give my father three years." Xiang Zhuang raised his right hand and stretched out three fingers, and said, "After the father finishes a few important things, I will pass on the big position to you." After finishing speaking, Xiang Zhuang He patted Xiang Zheng on the shoulder again, 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 suspicious.

"Go, go and call Bai Mo here now." Xiang Zhuang smiled, and said again, "Although Bai Mo is a false surrender, as a father, he has a way to make his falsehood come true. Moreover, this person is very talented in politics, and he will definitely be yours in the future." The minister of the thigh."

Xiang Zheng stood up in a daze, and said in a daze, "Father, then, where is the child?"

After a while, Xiang Zheng led Bai Mo into Xiangzhuang Xingyuan again.

After seeing the ceremony, Xiang Zheng wanted to resign, but was left by Xiang Zhuang: "Zheng Er, you can stay, anyway, you will succeed as king in three years, take this opportunity to observe and emulate."

"Here." Xiang Zheng responded respectfully, and sat down respectfully.

Bai Mo was a little surprised when he heard the words, Xiang Zheng succeeded to the throne three years later, so Xiang Zhuang wanted the throne of Zen?
"Ziyan, you don't have to be surprised." Xiang Zhuang said calmly, "You may not believe it, I never thought of becoming a king, all this is forced by the current situation, I just want to survive, now the world is settled, I If you don't have any worries about your life, you can safely pass on the throne to Zheng'er, and then go to enjoy life in peace, ha ha."

"The mind of the king is not inferior to that of the ancient sages, and I admire it."

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

Bai Mo sighed in his heart, but said on his mouth: "Your Majesty has great martial arts skills, it is only natural to become the emperor."

"Ziyan, I'm afraid this is not what you said in your mind?" Xiang Zhuang smiled, "But it doesn't matter, I will tell you with facts, I may not be as good as the ancient sages, and even worse than Qin Shihuang, but I absolutely must. You are more suitable to be emperor than Liu Bang, and within three years, you will be willing to be used by my Xiang family."

Bai Mo was speechless, what could he say about this?

Xiang Zhuang said again: "Ziyan, after becoming emperor, what do you think is the first important thing I will do?"

"The first thing the king will do is to cut the vassal." Bai Mo said without hesitation, "Wei Wang, Zhao Wang, Yan Wang, Qi Wang, Bei Diao Wang, Han Wang's throne and feudal kingdom may not be guaranteed. Lives are also at stake.”

"Oh, Ziyan, you are wrong." Xiang Zhuang laughed, "cutting down the vassal is a must, and a country within a country is absolutely unbearable, but depriving the throne and murdering the lives of the princes and kings is like a shadow of a snake, as long as They obediently become Kings of Peace in Luoyang, the widow will not kill them, and the throne can be retained, of course, hereditary succession is absolutely impossible."

PS: This chapter borrows from the scene of Cao Cao and Cao Pi’s father and son in the New Three Kingdoms (New Three Kingdoms only watched the first dozen episodes, because the details are too bad, even the title of master and son came out, so I basically didn’t watch it later, fuck Cao’s father and son section was specially recommended by readers), the swordsman thinks that the scene of Cao’s father and son is very classic and vivid, and he can’t help but want to learn from it. Don’t scold me for plagiarism.
