On the official road, there was a clear flag. A gorgeous huge carriage led by eight horses was escorted by thousands of infantrymen. Along the way, the people avoided their favors and officials greeted them.

The person sitting in the carriage was Zhao Shuo, the King of Chu. He went to Jiangnan to inspect the emperor on his order.

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

At this time, a team of thousands of people also walked on the official road, coming from the front towards this side. Seeing this, the general shouted loudly and led hundreds of soldiers to move forward to disperse the people, with an extremely barbaric attitude.

Hearing the movement, Zhao Shuoxuan opened the curtain and looked over there, frowned slightly, but he didn't say anything, and then put down the curtain.

A middle-aged scholar sitting opposite Zhao Shuo looked at him, turned around outside the car, and waved to the nearby attendant of the royal palace beside him.

"Mr. Chen, what are your instructions?"

The captain asked immediately.

The middle-aged scholar pointed to the front and said in a low voice: "Go and tell Zhou Yuanli that you must not be rude to the people, and ruin the reputation of the King of Chu."

"Yes, sir."

The commander took the order and left.

This middle-aged scholar was named Chen Xianda. His father Chen Mo was a famous scholar in the world. In the early days of the Pingzong Dynasty, he served as the head of all officials and the right prime minister. However, the time was very short, and he was known as the most knowledgeable scholar in the world.

Chen Xianda was very talented and known as a child prodigy since childhood. He had a very good memory and could never forget him. He had a great reputation and many people knew him. However, he was also very strange, or a quirk, that is, he did not like to be an official. In the first year of Zhao Zhi's succession, he was admitted to the imperial examination. Chen Xianda won the first place for the top scorer with his superhuman literary talent. He was favored by Zhao Zhi and was introduced to the imperial examination hall. This starting point is not bad, but he only worked for less than half a year and voluntarily resigned and returned home and quit the officialdom. At that time, he was a big news that shocked many people. After all, he had just completed the imperial examination and entered the officialdom, and could directly enter the imperial examination hall. Although he was just a miscellaneous scholar and had a low rank, the starting point and importance of this official position are self-evident.

Not long after, Zhao Zhi recruited Chen Xianda to return to Beijing to become an official, and Chen Xianda also came, but he still did not want to do it for a while. He wrote a resignation letter and left directly without even saying a greeting. After repeated several times, Zhao Zhi once said to his ministers: This person is selfish for himself, and has talent, but he is unwilling to benefit the country and the people. I don’t need such a person.

Since then, Chen Xianda hid in the village, without caring about worldly affairs, traveled around the mountains and rivers, recited poems and music all day long, and was his own family. Until the 13th year of Guangyuan, King Zhao Shuo of Chu did not know what method he used, but actually invited Chen Xianda to be his staff. This caused a big sensation at that time. Just as everyone speculated about how long Chen Xianda could stay this time, time passed, Chen Xianda, who was a classless and level-less aide to the King of Chu, had been working for nearly ten years, which was far beyond everyone's expectations.

In the 15th year of Guangyuan, the White Turban Army Rebellion broke out. General Gan Qian led a 50,000 army to quell the rebellion. As a result, the entire army was destroyed. The pass was in danger and the government and the people were shocked.

At that time, many ministers impeached Sima Zhong, the remaining subordinate of Jinyang, saying that he was fighting passively and remained motionless. Seeing that General Gan Qian of Zuo Wuwei was defeated and died, the person must have a different intention. Zhao Zhi wanted to recall Sima Zhong back to Beijing for punishment.

It was Chen Xianda who persuaded Zhao Shuo to come forward and protect Sima Zhong. Sima Zhong was not questioned and remained in his position. He eventually won a great victory in Jinyang, defeating the main force of the White Turban Army, completely reversing the direction of the entire battle. For this reason, Zhao Zhi looked at King Zhao Shuo of Chu quite differently and rewarded him many times.

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

"Your Highness, there are some people who should come forward to preach. You are so arrogant that you will lose your reputation. If it is heard by the emperor, others will take the opportunity to slander it, your highness will be difficult to explain."

Chen Xianda returned to his seat and said softly.

Zhao Shuo picked up the wine glass, drank a sip of wine, and said in a low voice: "What does it matter if my reputation is good or bad in the eyes of my father?"

Chen Xianda shook his head. He knew Zhao Shuo's temperament, so it would be better not to follow such a topic, so he changed the topic to other directions: "Before Yang Binglin left Beijing, he came to ask for a meeting, why did Your Highness avoid it?"

During that time, Chen Xianda went out to do business and was not in the palace. He only learned about this after he came back. At that time, Yang Binglin had already left Fengjing.

Zhao Shuo sneered coldly: "What are you doing with me? Help him seize the position of head of the Yang family?"

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

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

Chen Xianda said indifferently: "If Your Highness agrees to help, Yang Binglin may give very generous conditions."

"I don't like any of my surname Yang, so it's best if I die."

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

Chen Xianda glanced at Zhao Shuo and said softly: "In recent years, the Yang family has tried all their efforts to treat you. It is best for your highness not to say what you said just now, so as not to hurt others' hearts."

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

"They put all their treasures on me. They value this king not this person, but this identity. If the Japanese king can succeed to the throne, they may think at the first time how to undermine me. This king is just a tool for them, and both sides have their own needs. So, why should I be grateful to them? I wish there would be no more Yang surnamed in the world."

Chen Xianda shook his head and said indifferently: "It doesn't matter whether the Yang clan exists or not. Even if he wants to disappear, it is not now. Your Highness does not have this ability, and the emperor cannot do it."

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

Zhao Shuo nodded slightly, his eyes were a little dazed, muttering to himself, his palms subconsciously tightened, and the cup in his hand was broken...

Chen Xianda looked at Zhao Shuo silently, shook his head, and sighed in his heart. The power of hatred can actually turn a person into such crazy and persistent. Even now, this has become the driving force for Zhao Shuo to continue to live. As a prince, he is likely to inherit the throne, become the emperor, and become the number one person in the world in the future. Rights and status are not the most important in his heart. This makes Chen Xianda puzzled. He already feels that he is very strange. There are few people in the world. The character of King Zhao Shuo of Chu is much weirder than himself. There are probably few people in the whole world like him, at least... Chen Xianda has never seen it.
