Chapter 123 His brother couldn't hold back any longer.
"Go and find out who the two deputy generals of the Xu Family Army are. Call them to the palace secretly. I want to see them."
The Xu Family Army has been led by Xu Fenghui for so many years. Although Xu Fenghui has always shown that the Xu Family Army is getting worse and worse.
But according to Xu Fenghui's personality, he has fought for the late emperor for so many years. The Xu Family Army is Xu Fenghui's hard work and also Xu Fenghui's last trump card. How could he let the Xu Family Army develop in a bad direction? The Xu Family Army has
been prosperous for so many years, it can be said to be indestructible. Simple methods are naturally not enough. If you want to weaken the Xu Family Army, you must make them suspicious of their own people.
Corrosion starts from the inside, and even the strongest can't resist it.
Wei An went down to handle it immediately, and Chu Chengye returned to the hall to deal with Xu Fenghui.
Xu Jilin had already left, and Xu Fenghui was still angry about what had just happened, drinking one glass after another.
Chu Chengye smiled at Xu Fenghui, "It seems that the Duke is in a good mood today."
Xu Fenghui said, "I am naturally happy to be rewarded with a banquet by the Emperor."
Chu Chengye just smiled, picked up the wine glass and raised it to Xu Fenghui.
There will be more rewards for you in the future, and I don't know if you can catch it.
Chu Huaian has been uneasy since he sat down, and he looks in the direction of Qu Wanxin from time to time.
Chu Huaian saw it so obviously, Qu Wanxin naturally knew it, but now in front of so many people, they didn't even have the chance to say a word.
Seeing that Chu Huaian had been unable to communicate with him, Qu Wanxin became anxious.
Qu Wanxin stood up quietly and used the excuse of going back to the palace to rest.
When Qu Wanxin stood up, she kept paying attention to Chu Huaian's gaze, and she gave Chu Huaian a look.
Chu Huaian immediately understood what she meant, and not long after Qu Wanxin left, he also left the hall.
Chu Chengye saw all this, and he watched it all with a smile in his eyes.
His royal brother really couldn't bear it anymore.
If it weren't for the fact that he could use her to control Chu Huaian, Chu Chengye would have thrown her out of the palace long ago, and he would never have kept her to this point.
But now it seems that his idea is indeed correct, and Chu Huaian is indeed concerned about Qu Wanxin.
Qu Wanxin is his weakness.
After Chu Huaian went out, he looked towards the outside of the hall. Based on his understanding of Qu Wanxin, he stopped under a pool.
As expected, Chu Huaian only took two steps and saw Qu Wanxin not far away.
She was alone, staring at the water surface of the pool with her head down. It was not until Chu Huaian came over that Qu Wanxin raised her head.
Qu Wanxin said, "I didn't know that we would meet again like this."
The tears in Qu Wanxin's eyes slowly slid down as she raised her head. It was hard not to feel sorry for her pitiful look.
When Chu Huaian saw Qu Wanxin's appearance, his heart seemed to be grasped by a pair of big hands, and his breathing was stagnant in pain.
Obviously, everything was not like this.
If he waits a few more months, he will become the crown prince, and Qu Wanxin will be his only crown princess. After he ascends the throne, Qu Wanxin will also be the only queen of Southern Qi.
But now, everything has changed. Everything that should have belonged to him was taken away by Chu Chengye who suddenly appeared. His identity, his status, and even his sweetheart Chu Chengye were not spared.
This huge change began to make Chu Huaian very difficult to accept.
He did not accept that Chu Chengye was his brother from the same mother, and he was his royal brother, but it was obvious that he should have died in the vassal state.
Why did he come back and take away everything from him?
But things had developed to that point, and Chu Huaian had no choice. If
he wanted to take back everything that belonged to him, he had to bow his head to Chu Chengye, submit to him, and then slowly lie low.
Looking at Qu Wanxin in front of him, Chu Huaian felt even more heartbroken.
He said, "Wait for me, I will take you out of the palace."
Qu Wanxin just shook her head, "I am already a concubine in the palace, and I can't leave in this life."
Qu Wanxin knew that Chu Huaian would eventually become the emperor of Southern Qi. She said all this just to evoke the memories of Chu Huaian and her, and asked him to rebel as soon as possible.
According to historical records, Chu Huaian rebelled and usurped the throne about two years later. This event was an important turning point in the history of Southern Qi.
But now, she can't wait that long, she can't stand it in this palace for a moment.
Knowing this history, she can help Chu Huaian rebel as soon as possible, so that she doesn't have to go through it again.
Chu Huaian was silent for a while, then lowered his voice and said: "If you become a concubine in the palace, I will ascend the throne, Wanxin, my wife will only be you."
Qu Wanxin's tears fell and she nodded.
"If you have this idea, I will help you."
Qu Wanxin said: "I got some news recently. Is there a god in Suiyang?"
Chu Huaian showed a trace of surprise on his face, and soon recovered as usual.
"Yes, there is a man named Wu Ren. Some of his ideas on governing the country are unmatched by officials in the court."
Qu Wanxin immediately nodded in understanding.
That's right.
In history, this man named Wu Ren was a conspirator who assisted Chu Huaian to ascend the throne. If Chu Huaian had used Wu Ren earlier, wouldn't it be possible for Chu Huaian to take the step of rebellion earlier?
"But Wu Ren is a hermit, and very few people know about him. How did you know about him?"
Qu Wanxin shook her head casually and changed the subject.
"I just heard it by accident."
"If you knew, you would have taken him in long ago, and not let others get him first."
Chu Huaian said, "I also know that he is a talent, and I have had this idea for a long time, but he has a very strange personality. No matter what I said, he rejected me."
Qu Wanxin asked, "Why? Is it for money?"
Chu Huaian shook his head, "If it was just for money, it would be easy to deal with, but he didn't do it for money. I went there several times, and he only left me a note, saying that if I could understand it, he would work for me."
"What note?"
Chu Huaian took out the note he had kept in his arms
and showed it to Qu Wanxin. Qu Wanxin didn't understand it very well. Although she knew that Wu Ren was a talented person and that he assisted Chu Huaian to ascend the throne, she didn't know what the note was.
There is no detailed description in history.
Qu Wanxin shook her head, "I don't know, but it's a pity to give up like this."
Chu Huaian said, "I know, so I thought about going again in a few days."
Qu Wanxin nodded and said, "Yes, Wu Ren is very important, we must not give up so easily."
Qu Wanxin spoke seriously to Chu Huaian. Qu Wanxin also chose this secret place, thinking that there must be no one, and did not notice the figure in the shadows at all.
