In the imperial capital of the Great China Empire, in the former prime minister's residence, a young man sat opposite the old prime minister Chu Muzhou, holding up his tea cup and looking at the old man sitting next to him.
At the same time, Chu Muzhou was also looking at the young man sitting next to him. Both sides had their own plans. The two foxes, one old and one small, just sat there drinking tea without speaking for a long time.
After feeling depressed for a long time, Du Jia spoke first. He sighed and said to Chu Muzhou: "Mr. Chu... The Great China Empire has no future. The Great Tang Empire admires your ability and has left it to you.
A suitable location…”
"I am getting old and can no longer withstand any trouble..." Chu Muzhou picked up the tea cup and took a sip. The fragrance rushed straight to his heart. The tea brought by this young man was really good.
So he couldn't help but praise: "Good tea."
"If you like it, sir, then I will send you some more." The Tang Empire still covets such a capable minister as Chu Muzhou.
Because the Tang Empire needed mature and prudent officials to serve as deputies in some positions and to steer the ship for younger officials to ensure that the implementation of government orders could be more realistic.
Many times we curse the decay of a country during its period of destruction, but we have to admit that sometimes being mature and prudent has some benefits, and stability is also a virtue.
If the Dahua Empire has any political legacy, then veterans like Chu Muzhou may be the most precious legacy.
Therefore, Du Jia's visit this time was to seek the opinions of Chu Muzhou himself and see if the imperial prime minister could, or was willing to, change his position as an official.
Chu Muzhou did not refuse Du Jia's invitation. What he said was that he was old and could no longer withstand any hardships - the implication was to see if the Tang Empire could really conquer the imperial capital.
If the Tang Empire controls the imperial capital, he can continue to work for the Tang Empire. If the Tang Empire cannot defeat it, then he can continue to live the rest of his life in the imperial capital.
This is good news for Du Jia: "Master Chu, don't worry, the Tang Empire is very sincere. As long as Master Chu agrees, everything can be easily discussed."
"According to logic, the veteran should be buried for the empire." Chu Muzhou lowered his eyes and said this lightly.
Du Jia chuckled and said, "Lord Chu, you are joking. The Great China Empire is still there. How will you be buried, Sir?"
"So? The Tang Empire has no intention of destroying the Great China Empire?" Chu Muzhou's eyebrows twitched, as if he had heard some incredible news.
From his point of view, the destruction of Dahua by the Tang Empire is a matter of course and inevitable. If the Tang Empire can hold back from taking action, it would be a little too cautious and cautious.
Since Du Jia wanted to win over Chu Muzhou, he had nothing to hide, so he explained: "The Dahua Empire naturally cannot continue to exist...but the Dahua Kingdom can still be used for a while."
"After all, His Majesty Zhao Yu still has a seat." As he spoke, he blew on the tea, took a sip, and glanced at Chu Muzhou: "Look, Mr. Chu, His Majesty Zhao Yu's Dahua
The kingdom must be a vassal of the Tang Empire. Since Dahua is going to be a vassal of the Tang Dynasty, you... you can’t change the family, right?"
"What a foreign minister and internal minister... Not bad, not bad." Chu Muzhou smiled bitterly and nodded. He really didn't expect that in order to win the heart of a foreign minister like him, the Tang Empire could pave the steps to such an extent.
step.
"But we have some information here, Mr. Chu, you'd better pay more attention to it." Du Jia put down the teacup, looked at Chu Muzhou again, and warned.
"Oh?" Chu Muzhou is an old man. He immediately realized something and knitted his gray-white eyebrows together: "When it comes to intelligence work, you are still good. What news has been going on recently? I don't know about it?
"
"Zhao Kai's condition has worsened." Du Jia gave an answer that surprised Chu Muzhou, yet was so reasonable.
Chu Muzhou immediately realized that Zhao Ji was still at war with Zhe. Zhao Kai arranged for Zhao Ji to leave the imperial capital, and the waters here were muddied.
"Zhao Ji's two younger brothers...the younger brothers in the imperial capital are already ready to make a move. But compared to Zhao Ji, they are obviously still a little too young." Du Jia continued.
"The cause of trouble is Xiao Qiang, who is creating chaos... Dahua is finished." Chu Muzhou sighed. He knew that since Du Jia had dared to tell him, the problem must have been irreparable and the outcome could not be changed: "You guys
Did you move your hands?"
"It's not necessary at all. Zhao Kai's condition has worsened because he concealed his illness and avoided medical treatment and used supplements indiscriminately." Du Jia said calmly: "Our power in the palace is not strong enough to assassinate Zhao Kai, and sending the news is already the limit.
Already."
"So you guys aren't all-pervasive." Chu Muzhou joked. Of course he knew that being able to reveal the secrets in the palace was already an amazing achievement in itself.
"Except for the two princes starting to stir up trouble, even Zhao Kai may not know about the news." Du Jia continued: "Zhao Jie seems to be making moves as well."
"Zhao Jie? Ha! Hahahaha!" Chu Muzhou didn't react for a while, but when he did, he started laughing. The laughter was full of bitterness and strong disdain.
He really didn't expect that at such a critical moment of life and death, there would be ambitious people thinking about that dangerous position.
Moreover, among the people with crooked ideas, there are actually people in the clan who seem to be more far-sighted and capable - are these people crazy? Can't they see that the empire is now in turmoil?
Greedy? So greedy that you even risk your own life? So greedy that you don’t even consider the consequences? Fighting over and over turns an empire into a kingdom; fighting over and over turns a throne into a tomb!
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Originally, if there were just a few clowns running amok in the imperial capital, Chu Muzhou would still have some hope. I hoped that there would be a group of ministers in the imperial capital who were not so stupid and they would calm down as soon as possible.
Chaos comes and changes everything.
But now, a general with a heavy army and a clan with a relatively high IQ has joined in, and the chaos of the heir apparent cannot be suppressed.
At that time, we will also have to count Zhao Ji who returned to the imperial capital from Hezhe... I seem to have forgotten that behind Zhao Ji there may be Zhao Chen, who is also quite talented...
Even without the powerful Qin in the west and the covetous and powerful Tang Empire, the Great China Empire may not be able to survive this imperial chaos.
What's more, the Tang Empire has always intervened in the civil strife of Dahua! In the distant Fengjiang, there is another Zhao Yu waiting to reap the benefits!
It's over, everything is over. As long as the intelligence from the Tang Empire is accurate, then the fate of the Great China Empire is already doomed - the question is, is there anything wrong with the intelligence from the Tang Empire?
After laughing enough, he regained his composure and said lonely: "It seems that this imperial capital is going to experience chaos again, right?"
"This is also the purpose of my coming here. We must ensure the safety of Mr. Chu and his family." Du Jia did not deny it, but directly emphasized: "We must ensure the safety of many pillars like Mr. Chu.
.”
"I would like to ask... Zhou Qiang, is he considered a pillar?" Chu Muzhou has always been critical of this Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, who has turned to Zhao Yu and has always had a bad style. If there is still a future, he does not want to follow him.
Such people serve as officials in the same court together.
"Master Zhou naturally wants to ensure safety, but he will not be an official, but can enjoy the glory and wealth. This is also a person who has contributed to the Tang Empire. The empire will not let him down." Although Du Jia was unwilling to reveal others.
The fate of Chu Muzhou, but he still made an exception and explained it for Chu Muzhou.
Chu Muzhou nodded and thanked him: "I will listen to my husband's arrangements. The lives of this family are at stake."
Du Jia stood up and nodded slightly: "Please rest assured, sir, even if there is a silver fox in this city, no one can hurt the Chu family in the slightest."
Chu Muzhou, whose heart has died, no longer worries about loyalty or disloyalty. All he can do now is to keep the Chu family as safe as possible in the future chaos in the imperial capital.
As for the ending of the Great China Empire that he had worked for most of his life, he really was not in the mood to ask. After all, if the person named Zhao didn't even think about it, why would he be worried about following the person named Chu?
What Chu Muzhou didn't expect was that something unexpected happened three days later...
In the patrol room of the Imperial Capital of the Dahua Empire, a head catcher said hello to a familiar colleague. His eyes met those of several people around him, and then he walked straight to the warehouse manager responsible for guarding the weapons.
He handed the other party a cigarette, and the two started chatting. The other party was obviously full of envy for the job of catching the head, and he started to praise: "Or do you go out to live in Doha and smoke such good cigarettes?"
The quality of the tobacco in the Dahua Empire is really not that good, and not many good products are produced. Even though the cigarettes they are smoking now are good, they are actually not that good.
"Hey! This is nothing. As you know, I am not a member of the fifth prince. I followed the fifth prince and managed to get some benefits." The head catcher said in a low voice with a hint of ostentation.
The treasurer realized something was wrong as soon as he heard this, because he belonged to the Sixth Prince, and under normal circumstances it was impossible for the other party to discuss this topic with him.
The other party who became vigilant seemed to realize that the atmosphere was wrong, and immediately put on an unskilled smile, and stammered: "Actually, I, I, that is, I am talking nonsense, talking nonsense.
