More children, more blessings, starting from marrying a wife to fight for world hegemony

Chapter 57

The news that Mu Changtian was assassinated on the way to exile, and before he died, he used the Burning Blood Dafa to pull three masters back, quickly spread throughout Daxia.

With Mu Changtian's death, Emperor Xia completely controlled the military power of Daxia, with millions of soldiers in his hands.

Moreover, the generals of these armies were all single-handedly selected by Emperor Xia, and most of these generals were loyal to Emperor Xia.

With so many soldiers in Emperor Xia's hands at once, what does he want to do?what will he doThe major families in Great Xia are not fools.

For a while, the number of caravans in Daxia increased sharply, especially in the territories of the major feudal lords, the number of caravans doubled.

Of course, except Beijun.

The caravan is just a cover for the aristocratic family, and it is what the aristocratic family does by using the caravan to travel around and collude with various forces.

Emperor Xia has already sharpened his sword, it is impossible for those aristocratic families to remain silent.

All the great families have the same idea, since Emperor Xia is dishonest and disobedient, then change to another emperor.

Throughout the dynasties, there were not no emperors who tried to eliminate the family.

Some emperors used imperial examinations to weaken the foundation of the family, some emperors restricted the family on land, and some emperors suppressed the family on business.

But the effectiveness of those methods is still limited.

Emperor Xia got rid of the two heavenly kings and completely controlled the military power of Great Xia. Obviously, he lost patience with the aristocratic family. He wanted to use physical methods to directly eliminate the existing aristocratic family.

Emperor Xia's actions were too quick and purposeful, so naturally he quickly attracted the attention of the major families, especially the Jiangnan family.

Ever since Chu Yue passed away due to unknown reasons, Chu Xiong has been guarding the capital all these years. He has sent many spies in the capital, and he is aware of any troubles in the capital.

After learning that Mu Changtian was dead and that the military power was in Emperor Xia's hands, Chu Xiong couldn't sleep these days, feeling that the Chu family was in trouble.

Chu family, courtyard.

Chu Xiong sat in the pavilion, watching the information from the capital, with a worried expression on his face.

At this time, two white-haired old men came to the pavilion, and one of them said: "Brother, you have also seen Emperor Xia's actions. Shouldn't our Chu family also be prepared?"

Hearing what the second brother Chu Liang said, Chu Xiong was silent for a moment, and then said: "I have already sent someone to contact King Qi, and I believe there will be a result soon."

Hearing this, Chu Liang said dissatisfiedly: "Brother, what's the use of King Qi, he is just a bag of wine and food, could it be that you still expect him to rebel?"

Chu Xiong's idea is to use the vassals to restrict Emperor Xia, force Xia Huang to give up fighting the family, or encourage the vassals to rebel, so that Xia Huang has no energy to deal with the family. Of course, if there is a vassal who can defeat Xia Huang, then then It couldn't be better.

King Qi is the most dissatisfied king with Emperor Xia. Since Emperor Xia came to the throne, he has targeted King Qi many times, so the first person Chu Xiong chose to instigate rebellion was King Qi.

But obviously, the second brother Chu Liang had his own ideas. Chu Liang said at this time: "If I want to say, we should directly find someone to assassinate Emperor Xia. If he dies, all problems will be solved."

The third younger brother Chu Song asked at this time: "If Emperor Xia dies, who should we support to take over?"

Chu Liang said as a matter of course: "It's hard to think about it, of course it is to support the Eighth Prince! If you don't support the Eighth Prince, is it possible that you still want to support that waste of time in Beijun?"

"Besides, the eighth prince's mother is from the Wang family, a family in the south of the Yangtze River. He can't be as whimsical as his father and wants to do something to our family, and our Chu family happens to have a good relationship with the Wang family."

"After the eighth prince ascends the throne, we will send some girls from the family to his side. If the girls of the Chu family can have the heir of the eighth prince as soon as possible, it is not impossible to compete for the position of queen."

After listening to Chu Liang's words, Chu Song said: "Second brother, why do I feel that the Ninth Prince is better? If he indulges in pleasure in the palace, wouldn't it be easier for us to control him, and whoever we want him to make the queen, he Whoever will be crowned queen."

Chu Liang snorted coldly and said: "You think I haven't thought about it that way, he's just a piece of trash who can't stand up to the wall, if you really choose him then, do you think he can balance the interests of the big families? And The resistance in the court will be even greater, those ministers will not agree, anyone among the several princes is qualified, but he is not."

"Don't forget, he is Chu Yue's child and has an unusual relationship with Xuanyue Palace. If he really rises to power, will it be our turn to control him?"

Chu Song said: "Second brother, what you said makes sense."

At this time, Chu Xiong said with a dark face: "Second brother, you've just said that, no matter how you say it, Chu Yue is my daughter, no matter how you arrange relationships, she is my daughter first, and then the goddess of Xuanyue Palace. Why isn't her son qualified to sit in that position?"

"Also, you don't really think that Emperor Xia is so easy to assassinate, do you? Isn't it too early to start discussing who will be enthroned?"

"Emperor Xia has a great master by his side, and apart from Situ Ce, we don't know if there are other great masters secretly protecting him. If he wants to assassinate him successfully, it may be more difficult than ascending to the sky."

Chu Liang said mockingly: "Brother, I think you are old and your mind is not flexible."

"Why do you think I just said that I support the Eighth Prince. The Eighth Prince is in the capital now. He can definitely assist us in our plan to assassinate Emperor Xia."

Chu Xiong frowned and said immediately: "No, it is absolutely impossible to assassinate Emperor Xia now. If the assassination fails, Emperor Xia must use this as an excuse to attack the family immediately."

"We were not prepared enough to take that risk."

Now everyone in the court knows that Emperor Xia is going to attack the family, and the family also knows that Emperor Xia is going to attack the family, but even if Emperor Xia wants to eradicate the family, he still needs a reason that seems legitimate.

Originally, Emperor Xia hadn't found a suitable excuse yet, but at this time the aristocratic family sent someone to assassinate Emperor Xia, wouldn't that just give Emperor Xia a reason.

Seeing that Chu Xiong was afraid of this and that, Chu Liang snorted coldly and said: "Brother, your courage is really getting smaller and smaller. Emperor Xia's butcher knife is about to come down, and you are still worried about this and that."

"I think you have to wait for the day when Emperor Xia's million-strong army arrives in Sufeng City before you will be happy."

Having said that, Chu Liang turned around and left.

Seeing that Chu Liang was gone, Chu Song hurriedly followed, "Second brother, second brother, if you have something to say, please speak up. The eldest brother is also thinking about the family, so don't be angry."

Seeing the figures of the two singing together, Chu Xiong's face was very ugly.

He is not a fool, how could he not know what Chu Liang and Chu Song were thinking.

Chu Song seemed to be talking to the Ninth Prince just now, but in fact he was talking to Chu Liang.

Chu Song's sons all married daughters of the Wang family, and even the concubines he took in were all from the Wang family, so he didn't need to think too much about his position.

Not to mention Chu Liang, it is not a day or two for him to covet the position of Patriarch.

Now that the Chu family has fallen into internal and external troubles, Chu Xiong feels even more tired when he thinks of his son who is so disappointing and thinks about women every day.

Chu Xiong rubbed his forehead, and then said to the woman behind him who had no sense of existence: "Qingli, your sister is in Beijun, you should go to Beijun too, if the Chu family really suffers one day. There is no need to come back."

Hearing this, the woman in the green dress behind him said, "Yes, Patriarch."

The woman's voice was cold, without any emotion, as if she was a complete murder tool.
