From the first meeting to the friendship and then to the confidant, Qu Xinchi, as a friend, is definitely a close friend worthy of being a lifelong friend in Chu Yiwen! In the past three years of being together, Qu Xinchi not only has his own literary and military strategy and the ability to govern the country and ensure peace, but also has extraordinary loyalty to the country and the nation until death.

Similarly, for Chu Yiwen, the ambitions he had perhaps had gradually turned into unwillingness and self-spreading under the tranquility as time went by. Even though he had a deep conversation from the bottom of his heart, although his ambitions rose again, he never felt that from beginning to end, nor had he ever considered that he had the opportunity and possibility of winning the throne.

When Qu Xinchi looked at him with a deep glance, Chu Yiwen felt a storm like a flame in his heart at that moment. However, it was only then that moment that Chu Yiwen took his seat dejectedly, and the heat he had just returned to normal again. He was very happy and excited to be recognized by King Qu Xinchi of Yi. However, competing for the throne requires strength and achievements. He knew very well that he had never had any point.

"Fourth Prince, you seem to have no confidence in yourself!"

Chu Yiwen shook his head with a self-deprecating voice: "Although my elder brother has lived in the Northern Region for a long time and rarely involves the imperial capital, he has been in charge of the Northern Region for many years, has a great talent and a commander of the masses, and has a skilled force in the Northern Region. He has built a powerful army that has been fighting for many years. He also has an unparalleled position advantage as the eldest son of the emperor. I think even my second brother is slightly inferior to the throne. In comparison, what my elder brother lacks is the support and support of the ministers in the court. However, as the eldest prince, there are still many people in the civil and military affairs of the court who are firm supporters who follow the ancestral teaching of the eldest son as a successor to the throne. In time, my elder brother has gained a firm foothold in the imperial capital and consolidated his power. At that time, even my second brother was unable to compete with my elder brother for the throne."

"Of course, it is not easy for the elder brother to reach that step. At least, with the second brother's character and scheming, he will definitely not let the elder brother get what he wants. With the second brother's deliberation for many years, the strong support of the clan lineage and the loyal support of King Ling Zhitian of Jin outside. Judging from the current facts and strength, the second brother undoubtedly has a unique advantage than the elder brother!"

Nodding, Qu Xinchi said appreciatively: "Fourth Prince, although you rarely care about political affairs on weekdays, you actually know a lot about it. If you have such a deep understanding, you are not like a playboy in the eyes of others!"

"As you said just now, ordinary people think that compared with the eldest prince and the second prince, you have almost no chance of winning! However, the ancients said that if the snipe and clam fight, the fisherman will benefit. Your greatest advantage lies in your greatest weakness. It is precisely because of your "inaction" and weak power that you have become an existence that everyone ignores. No matter who they will become the new master of the Great Chu Empire in the future, it is an indisputable fact that your identity as the fourth prince of the Great Chu Empire is. If they want to fight for this throne, they will inevitably win over you and your support for them, even if this support is minimal, or even verbally!"

Chu Yiwen pondered for a moment, nodded, Qu Xinchi continued: "Fourth Prince, you don't need to underestimate yourself. Things are far from as much as you imagined. As you said just now, in the battle for the throne, the eldest prince and the second prince both have unreasonable competitive strength, but they also have obvious flaws!"

"oh?"

Qu Xinchi smiled and said, "The hearts of ministers in the world cannot be obtained overnight."

, in the battle for the throne, the eldest prince's greatest reliance is still the Seventh Army of the Northern Region under his command. Although the eldest prince has heavy troops, he has a great responsibility to stick to the Northern Region. If the Seventh Army of the Northern Region is sparsely transferred away for the sake of the throne, one may have lost its base. You must know that although the grassland tribes outside the Northern Region are not strong, they are like tinea scabies. If you are not careful, you may lose your foundation. I think the eldest prince will not be able to withstand his mistakes for many years.

;The second is what the people want and the throne reaches. If the struggle for the throne causes foreign tribes to invade, the mountains and rivers are broken, the people are displaced, and the people are in trouble, the world will be uncertain; the third is that although the northern territory is vast, the land is poor, and although it can barely support itself under the guidance of the eldest prince in recent years, this is just based on the situation of stability in the general trend. If the war begins again, when internal and external troubles, you can hold on to yourself in a short time, and it will easily change for a long time!"

"As for the second prince!" After saying this, Qu Xinchi couldn't help but shake his head, and then said, "The second prince may be as you said just now, and inheriting the throne is as sure as you are looking for something. However, I think that the support of the relatives and relatives of the people and the court officials is just based on the premise that there is no competitor. How many princes can often go out of the court before the eldest prince is back?"

Chu Yiwen thought for a while and smiled embarrassedly: "Among all the adult princes, except for me who never cares about politics, the only second brother has been in charge of government affairs."

"I enjoy the favor of Your Majesty, so the court officials naturally have a strong preference for the second prince. However, with the return of the eldest prince, this preference will be somewhat shaken. The dispute over the throne is a major event that concerns the future and even life and death for the relatives and the court officials. They will inevitably think carefully. Therefore, the seemingly stable camp of the second prince will inevitably fall apart and turn against each other. Moreover, as the second prince's other biggest reliance on Jin, Lin Zhitian, is an unstable and even dangerous existence, so the second prince is not as sure as he thought!"

Upon hearing this, Chu Yiwen couldn't help but stand up suddenly. He agreed with Qu Xinchi's analysis very much. At the same time, he realized a different breath from Qu Xinchi's words just now, and asked, "King Yi, are you talking about King Jin?"

"Since ancient times, strong monarchs lead to weak ministers, and weak monarchs lead to strong ministers lead to strong ministers! The times create heroes, and history is always surprisingly similar. As the supreme commander of the military commander who ruled the millions of troops of the Great Chu Empire, its importance is self-evident!"

"Yi Wang, you mean..."

Qu Xinchi shook his head and did not go deeper on this topic. Since he could mention Ling Zhitian, he had already thought of many possibilities. The words mentioned in his words just gave Chu Yiwen a hint. Since the other party saw it, the purpose was to achieve it, there was no need to continue exploring it. So he asked: "Yiwen, how long hasn't you seen Yizheng?"

Qu Xin's words suddenly turned, Chu Yiwen was stunned for a moment, and then he said with some nostalgia: "Since the Yan Lu Rebellion was pacified, the third brother entered Chongchuan. It has been three years since the third brother was purged!"

When I heard this, Qu Xinchi couldn't help but sigh: "Yes, it's been three years before I knew it! Have you been in contact with each other all these years?"

Chu Yiwen shook his head helplessly and said, "Your King Yi, you don't know. My third brother has always been good at Wu Qiwen. In the past three years, except for a letter he replied to me when he first arrived in Chongchuan, he has basically been without any news. And you know, and the reply letter is basically to greet you.

I am not used to life in the imperial capital, is there anyone bullying you..."

Qu Xinchi couldn't help but think of the days when he was with Chu Yizheng in the past. As the third son of Chu Liyuan, the emperor of the Great Chu Empire, he was an alternative existence with a unique style of dealing with things. He was disdainful of the etiquette of the royal family. He had no interest in the political affairs of the empire, but he only loved the conquest on the battlefield. Chu Liyuan had no choice but to do anything about this. When Chu Liyuan was in the rebellion of Yanlu, he personally led the army. The fourteen-year-old Chu Yizheng was rejected for the request for battle and was privately formed.

Dozens of "Yi Zheng Army" rushed to Lu day and night, but unexpectedly met a team of 100 people in the rebels. No one knew how a group of 14 or 15-year-old baby soldiers led by Chu Yizheng won the encounter. He only knew that when reinforcements arrived, on the quiet battlefield, only a dozen people led by Chu Yizheng supported each other with blood standing around the battle flag, corpses were everywhere, broken arms and broken limbs, which were very tragic!

Chu Liyuan was both angry and distressed about this matter. He originally planned to force Chu Yizheng back to the imperial capital, but Chu Yizheng insisted on not following it. It happened that Qu Xinchi had just entered Chu Liyuan's account. In order to avoid the obstacles of the ministers, Chu Liyuan was very distressed, Chu Yizheng volunteered to be a guard for Qu Xinchi, so there was a intersection between Qu Xinchi and Chu Yizheng. It was this different experience that made Chu Yizheng deeply admire and admire Qu Xinchi from disdain to recognition.

——It turns out that war is not just about the coldness of weapons and weapons. Only by using military strategies and strategies can one be considered a qualified general. After the Yanlu Rebellion, when Chu Yizheng asked Qu Xinchi where he should go to the empire to experience it, Qu Xinchi suggested that he go to the border on the southwestern border. The environment there was harsh, the forces of all parties were complicated, and the customs of the people were extremely fierce. It was a place to experience the mind and ability. It was also since then that Qu Xinchi never saw Chu Yizheng again.

Qu Xinchi shook his head, and Li Li felt a little confused because of the memories, saying, "This time Yizheng has reported his duties. His Majesty the Emperor will definitely keep him by his side. After I leave, the King of Jin will be unattainable in the entire Great Chu Empire army. His Majesty the Emperor knows its interests and military power is related to the safety of the country, so it must not be left behind. Among all the princes, Yizheng has a lot of prestige in the army. Although it is difficult to reach the height of King of Jin, it is deeply supported by the young and strong faction. In time, he will definitely be the mainstay of the Great Chu Empire."

Upon hearing this, Chu Yiwen couldn't help but tremble slightly. Qu Xinchi's concerns had already arrived. Speaking of his third brother Chu Yizheng, it was tantamount to giving himself the greatest reassurance. Although Chu Yizheng was his brother, he also knew Chu Yizheng's character and style. He had no interest in the fight for the throne. With Chu Yizheng's trust and admiration for Qu Xinchi, as long as Qu Xinchi instructed him, Chu Yizheng would undoubtedly be the strongest help for his competition for the throne...

"Cough, cough, cough..."

Chu Yiwen, who was thinking, came to his senses after several consecutive coughs. At this moment, Qu Xinchi was covering his lips with a handkerchief. After wiping it a little, Qu Xinchi apologized: "Yiwen, it's late at night, I won't leave you anymore. You should take a rest sooner!"

"Yes!" Chu Yiwen stood up, lit up, and went straight to the outside of the door without any drag. However, the moment he turned around, he saw the blood stains remaining on the corners of Qu Xin's red lips, and his heart was like a knife!

Looking at Chu Yiwen's disappearing figure and slowly closing the door, Qu Xinchi suddenly sat down suddenly, feeling weak all over, like a ball of mud, trembling. On his forehead, sweat was like rain, slowly dripping along his twisted face...
