The Prodigal Son of the Empire

"Humph!"

At this time, a relatively young prince said: "Your Majesty, the country has been invaded by the enemy. We should unite and fight the enemy to the end to recover the Great Chu!"

"King Tang is quite bold. I don't think you want to restore Chu, but want to take this opportunity to become the emperor!"

As soon as his words fell, someone said disdainfully.

For a moment, everyone's eyes were on Tang Wang Xiangshi.

Xiang Zhi's complexion changed, and then he said directly: "You are really hypocritical, you dare to say that you don't have such thoughts?"

Everyone stopped talking.

The princes and kings all have the surname of Xiang, and they are all from the same family.

The royal family also has the surname Xiang, but it's just that the branches are different. It has been passed down to this day, and there is actually no distinction between closeness and estrangement.

Some vassal states are powerful and some are relatively weak, but it is impossible to deny that these vassal kings all have the idea of ​​becoming emperor.

Throughout the history of Great Chu, there have been many civil strife, all because of this problem. Some vassal states became stronger and did not submit to the central jurisdiction and had coups.

Now is a good opportunity, because the royal family has been destroyed!

According to blood inheritance, they are all qualified to be emperors, and they are still orthodox!

"I don't even look at my own strength."

Someone disdainfully said: "It's easy for you to say, can you defeat Wang Kang? Or can you drive him out?"

"That's why I say we should stick together!"

Xiang Zhi said: "As long as we play the banner of restoring the Great Chu, we will definitely be able to win the hearts of the people, and we will definitely be able to form a confrontation with Wang Kang..."

The first thousand and 630 chapter two counselor Wen Zhang!

With a bold tone and burning eyes, Xiang Zhi said loudly, "What we need most now is unity!"

"The reason why Da Chu has come to such a point is because it is torn apart. We should cheer up!"

What he said was arrogant, but no one responded, which made him quite astonished, and asked in doubt: "What? Are you still going to fight on your own now?"

"There is only one such end, that is, we are annexed!"

"Do you think that even if we unite, we can defeat Wang Kang?"

At this time, a prince and king spoke, causing everyone to nod their heads.

You Wang Xiang Jianshan said: "The grassland cavalry pursued the army of the defending country and passed through my vassal states. The strength is indescribable. At the beginning, His Majesty dispatched the troops of our vassal states in Eastern Chu. Now our strength is empty. I am afraid that only What can some stragglers do?"

This is the reality. In the face of absolute strength, everything is meaningless.

All the people looked sad.

At this time, Feng Wang Xiang Baichuan said: "You Wang is right. With our current strength, the gap with Wang Kang is too big. I'm afraid we can't do it head-on!"

"Then what should we do? Are we just sitting there waiting to die, waiting to be wiped out?"

"Yes!"

"Let's always think of a way. This Wang Kang hasn't made any movement until now, which makes people feel uneasy..."

Everyone was worried.

Xiang Baichuan was very calm, he said calmly: "In this situation, we can't make peace, we can't fight, for us, there is only one choice left!"

"That's talk!"

"talk?"

"Speak to Wang Kang?"

"Correct!"

Xiang Baichuan said: "The destruction of the Great Chu is a foregone conclusion, irreversible, this is reality."

He looked at Xiang Shi as he spoke, and continued: "I can understand King Tang's mood. After all, we are all descendants of the Xiang family, but as far as we are concerned, we cannot recover. Wang Kang is a ruthless man!"

"The Jing family, the Zhao family, and the Qu family, these are the three oldest families in my Great Chu. How powerful are they? It is said that they just proposed to let His Royal Highness Xiang Yu succeed to the throne, and they were directly exterminated, and they are still being hunted everywhere. The descendants of the family, so head-to-head is not acceptable!"

"What we should do is to preserve our strength, so that we can survive this catastrophe!"

Xiang Baichuan continued: "How to preserve it? It is to preserve our roots and our vassal states!"

"I'm afraid it's not easy, right? Wang Kang's attitude is very obvious."

Someone agreed.

"So, this needs to be talked about."

"Will Wang Kang talk to us?"

Another objection was raised.

"Yes, the initiative is now in Wang Kang's hands."

Xiang Baichuan didn't explain directly, but raised his hand as a signal, making a person beside him stand up.

This person looks to be in his 30s, with an ordinary face and an ordinary long gown. He belongs to the kind of character who will never stand out on the street...

Xiang Baichuan smiled and said: "This is Wen Zhang, my advisor, I think everyone has heard of it."

"Wen Zhang?"

"Is he Wen Zhang?"

"The great Chu counselors don't know how many, but there are not many who can be called the best, and this Wen Zhang is at the forefront."

"Wen Zhang, a homophonic article, the name itself is a bit special. It is said that he has the talent to govern the country and secure the country. At the beginning, Feng Guo was the weakest among all the vassal states. With the help of Wen Zhang, he jumped to the top in just a few years. Be in the forefront and become the leader of Eastern Chu!"

"That's right, this Wen Zhang is indeed talented."

Hearing everyone's discussion, Xiang Baichuan was also full of smiles.

In Chu State, the style of mentors and counselors is prevalent, especially for princes and kings.

Without a systematic official selection system, becoming a courtier and counselor has become a way for some talented and learned people to display their ambitions.

Appreciated by others, honored with the Lord.
