Chapter 454 It’s You

Xiang Yu was silent when he heard this. He was unable to refute what his great-uncle said, and he couldn't refute it.

Xiang Yu always puts his own interests first and asks himself to put the interests of Dayu State first. How is that possible?

Moreover, what if you don’t put the interests of Dayu State first? Will it influence me to lead the Yu Kingdom to prosperity?

No impact at all!

Xiang Yu sneered at his great-uncle's words, but with a respectful expression on his face: "My grandson will definitely put the interests of the entire Dayu Kingdom first in the future."

"It's too late! It's too late!" Great-uncle shook his head: "I like your father, so I gave you a warning. You must be careful yourself, and don't be ignorant of good and evil and push yourself into eternal disaster. The whole clan is in trouble."

While he was talking, a voice from a distance sounded: "The master of the palace is here."

Everyone stopped and looked around, seeing Xiang Zhuang slowly walking out of the corridor holding a lantern.

"I've met the Palace Master." Everyone stopped and bowed with fists in their hands.

Xiang Zhuang handed the lantern in his hand to the attendant on the side, and then swept his eyes across the yard. His eyes fell on Xiang Yu for a moment, then fell on Xiang Shaolong. His brows gradually wrinkled, but then smoothed out instantly. .

"You are all my elders, you can't be so rude. Xiang Zhuang has met all of your elders!" Xiang Zhuang saluted to the elders: "Please take your seats, elders."

Everyone took their seats, but Xiang Zhuang still stood where he was. After clapping his hands, a girl brought the delicacies and placed them on the table.

Xiang Zhuang turned a blind eye to Xiang Yu and Xiang Shaolong, and glanced at the elders with his eyes: "We haven't seen each other for a while. The elders are in good health, and the younger generation is very happy to see them."

"Boy, you call us all here, but if you have anything to do, don't hold back, just tell us directly." Great-uncle said angrily: "We are all one family, why go around."

This is the case in the Zongren Mansion. Even if he is the master of the Zongren Mansion, he is helpless in the face of these old guys in the clan who rely on their elders.

There are all his direct elders here, so it's not easy for him to make rash accusations.

Before Xiang Zhuang could reply, someone asked again: "Could it be that the master of the palace wants to choose one of the princes and princes to support him so that the matter of seizing the legitimate heir can be settled as soon as possible?"

"We still need to have a long-term discussion on which heir to support." A group of people were talking and talking at this time.

Xiang Zhuang was not upset when he saw this. The clan mansion was always like this, and the rules were not strict, just like a regular family meeting.

"Xiang Zhuang, my dear brother, I came here rashly today. I have no way to apologize. I can only offer a few beauties as a gift of apology. I hope my dear brother will not blame you." Xiang Shaolong took the opportunity to stand up and saluted Xiang Zhuang.

"We are all a family, how can there be such strict rules." Xiang Zhuang couldn't say anything. There weren't that many rules for family gatherings.

"I wonder if the clan government can decide which heir to support?" Xiang Shaolong said.

Xiang Zhuang shook his head: "Brother is overthinking. The clan government will not interfere with the matter of seizing the direct descendants. If eldest brother wants to persuade the clan mansion to intervene in seizing the legitimate sons, I'm afraid he is overthinking."

After hearing Xiang Zhuang's words, Xiang Shaolong didn't bother him. Now that he has entered the clan's mansion, he must have a good talk with Xiang Zhuang in the evening. Now it's just a familiar face.

"I invite all the elders to gather together today because I want to introduce you to an important figure in my Xiang family. I have decided to worship him as a national scholar and invite all the elders to come and bear witness." Xiang Zhuang said unhurriedly. When he spoke, his voice suppressed the noisy words of the elders.

At this time, there was silence in the field, and it fell into a deathly silence. The elders looked at each other, and for a moment they even suspected that their ears had heard wrong.

Dayu Kingdom has not worshiped a national scholar for thousands of years!

Even the word "Guoshi" only exists in the memories of the elders. It is a legend passed down from ancestors. For a moment, the elders looked at each other, and then their eyes fell on Xiang Zhuang.

"You worshiped a national scholar?" Taishu Gong's face became serious: "What ability does he have to become a national scholar?"

Xiang Zhuang shook his head: "I don't know."

After hearing Xiang Zhuang's words, everyone fell silent again.

"Now please invite the national scholar to come out and meet you." Xiang Zhuang turned around and ordered the servants.

It is the right of the lord of the sect's mansion and the lord of the country to pay homage to the country's scholars.

As long as two people decide to worship the state, there is no need to go through public review.

Xiang Zhuang was recommended by everyone as the head of the clan mansion at a young age. Needless to say, his ability and his mother convinced everyone.

At this time, when they heard that Xiang Zhuang wanted to pay homage to the country, everyone did not question it, but they were just curious.

Hearing Xiang Zhuang's words, Xiang Yu shrank, and Xiang Shaolong also narrowed his eyes.

National scholar!

There is no simple person who can be respected as a national scholar.

backyard

Cui Yu was talking to Shan. A servant came from the front yard to deliver a message. Shan looked at Cui Yu and said, "Sir, the banquet is ready. Please come over."

Cui Yu nodded, then glanced at Runan, and the two walked towards the front yard at noon.

After walking around the corridor, Cui Yu saw the banquet in the courtyard from a distance. Cui Yu suddenly stopped and saw Xiang Shaolong at the banquet.

"Why don't you leave, sir?" Sensing Cui Yu's stasis, he quickly stopped and looked at Cui Yu, his eyes full of doubts.

"Who is that person?" Cui Yu pointed at Xiang Shaolong from a distance.

"That is the Crown Prince Xiang Shaolong, one of the future successors of Dayu Kingdom and one of the most powerful contenders for the throne." Xiang asked in surprise: "Sir, do you know him?"

"Is he the Crown Prince Xiang Shaolong?" Cui Yu said with a sneer on his lips: "Of course I know him."

Hearing that Cui Yu's tone was bad, he stopped talking and lowered his head.

Cui Yu glanced at the people in the courtyard and saw Xiang Yu in the corner, alone at the feet of the bright lights, looking quite depressed.

"I have disappeared from these people. Tell Taoist Brother Xiangzhuang that it is better for me to hide. Only by hiding can we accomplish great things." Cui Yu gave instructions.

He hesitated for a moment after hearing the words, looked at the banquet in the distance, and finally nodded in agreement.

That's a national scholar. If he can't even avoid a banquet, what kind of national scholar is he?

When he was about to send a message at noon, Cui Yu shouted: "Wait a minute."

For a long time, he thought Cui Yu had changed his mind, so he stopped and turned to look at Cui Yu.

"Is that Xiang Yu, Xiang Yan's son?" Cui Yu asked.

"Sir, do you know Xiang Yu?" He looked surprised for a long time, and thousands of thoughts flashed in his mind.

"After the banquet is over, invite him to come to the backyard to meet me." After Cui Yu finished speaking, he turned and left.

He looked at Cui Yu's back for a long time, then at Xiang Yu, and finally turned around and walked towards the banquet.

at the banquet

Everyone was waiting for Cui Yu to arrive, and quietly came up behind Xiang Zhuang at noon: "Master, Cui Guoshi can't come."

Xiang Zhuang was stunned when he heard this. He had already agreed before, so how could Cui Yu suddenly go back on his word?

Seeing Xiang Zhuang's confusion, he whispered: "Xiang Shaolong seems to have a grudge against the national scholar. The national scholar was very unhappy when he saw Xiang Shaolong."

"Go and find out what happened." Xiang Zhuang nodded calmly and ordered.

After a while, he turned around and left quickly, leaving Xiang Zhuang looking at everyone with his eyes, and said with a smile: "Everyone has a bar, just treat it like we haven't seen each other for a long time, and connect with each other. The countryman is tired and doesn't want to see guests today. Everyone Just know that our country, Dayu, worships a national scholar."

The elders were even more curious when they heard this, but they were not angry or angry.

National scholar!

Let everyone go, and there seems to be no fuss.

In the corner, Xiang Yu clenched his fists: "The Kingdom of Yu unexpectedly worshiped a scholar after a thousand years. If this news spreads, it will definitely shock the three hundred and sixty-five princely states, and even the royal family of the Zhou Dynasty will be shocked. If this news If the news spreads, it will definitely be a shot in the arm for the sluggish Dayu Kingdom."

Throughout the one hundred and sixty-five vassal states of the Great Three Kingdoms, no matter which country's officials there are, they are all romantic figures. They are one-of-a-kind beings in the world. They are definitely people who shake the world and influence the world's affairs.

The Zhou Dynasty has been a country for five thousand years, and only a handful of people can be worshiped as national scholars by the 365 vassal states.

But those characters are all earth-shattering and change the overall situation of the world.

Just like the national scholar of the Zhou royal family: Jiang Taigong.

Who dares to underestimate such a person?

And no one would worship a fake national scholar just to set off a smoke bomb, and no one would be stupid enough to do such a thing.

Because as long as it is fake, it will be exposed one day.

"If I can get the help of that national scholar, I will definitely be able to win over the clan mansion and even get the support of the Lord of Dayu. Winning the position of heir will be like searching for something for me." Xiang Yu's eyes were full of fire, and he was so decadent before. Sweeping it all away: "I must find out the information about that national scholar at all costs."

Xiang Shaolong's eyes flickered at this time, and he was obviously very excited: "I have an advantage now. If I can convince Xiang Zhuang to recommend a national scholar to me, I will definitely be sure of my position as the heir."

"I must get this national scholar's information and strive to gain the other party's approval." Xiang Shaolong's eyes were full of wild light.

Everyone was drinking and having fun. The great-uncle looked at Xiang Zhuang and said, "The master of the palace has paid homage to a national scholar, but he doesn't know what he is capable of? Can the master tell us something so that we can open our eyes?"

Xiang Zhuang thought of the leveled Longmen Stream, the missing golden light monster, and of Cui Yu actually accepting to become a national scholar of the Dayu Kingdom. He couldn't help but feel happy in his heart. There was only one thought in his mind: It's worth it!

Not to mention Cui Yu's other abilities, the golden light monster was something that King Wu and King Wen could not control in the past. Jiang Taigong was helpless when facing the golden light monster, but was defeated by Cui Yu in just a few days, so he asked Are you afraid?

Just ask if you are strong!

It is simply tyrannical to the extreme!

It is very worthwhile for Xiangzhuang that such a person can agree to become a scholar of Dayu Kingdom.

Also thanks to Zhihu’s light.

Facing the great uncle's inquiry, Xiang Zhuang pondered for a moment before sighing: "It's unspeakable! It's unspeakable! No one can see it! No one can defeat it!"

After Xiang Zhuang finished speaking, all the clan members were dumbfounded. Isn't this too outrageous?

Even a saint wouldn’t dare say ‘ineffable, unspeakable, unseen, invincible’, right?

Unbelievable!

unbelievable!

I just think what Xiang Zhuang said is a bit outrageous. Although I believe in Xiang Zhuang's knowledge, what he said is even more awesome than a saint. Is it too outrageous?

If Xiang Zhuang knew what everyone was thinking, he would definitely sneer in his heart.

saint?

Can the saint defeat the golden light monster?

The status of the saint in his heart is not as good as that of Cui Yuwan.

"The national scholar doesn't want to show up, so don't force me. There will be a time when you meet each other in the future, and you will definitely be able to see the national scholar's unparalleled skills." Xiang Zhuang picked up the wine cup with a smile: "Here, drink!"

Xiang Zhuang didn't say anything, and it was inconvenient for everyone to ask questions. For a while, everyone started drinking.

Soon at midnight, the banquet dispersed, and all the elders of the clan dispersed. Only Xiang Yu and Xiang Shaolong looked at each other. Their eyes turned green as they looked at Xiang Zhuang who was seeing off their guests.

Of course Xiang Zhuang also noticed the two of them, but he was too lazy to pay attention to them and left before they could come over.

Looking at Xiang Zhuang's back, they both stood up:

"Brother Xiangzhuang, please stay. I have something to say."

The two shouted anxiously and chased after him.

Xiang Zhuang turned a deaf ear and ran towards the backyard, disappearing around the corner in an instant.

The two chased them to the backyard and came to a low gate. They were about to continue towards the backyard and wanted to visit Xiang Zhuang. But before he reached the backyard, he was blocked by a steward in a red robe.

"You two gentlemen, you are not allowed to enter the backyard anymore." The steward blocked the door with a smile.

"Xiang Shaolong wants to see Brother Xiang Zhuang, and please let the steward know." Xiang Shaolong looked at the steward, his eyes full of anxiety.

Xiang Zhuang is a magical person who never sees the end. If he misses this time, if he wants to see Xiang Zhuang again, he is afraid that the direct lineage battle has come to an end.

"My eldest son, my master said that he doesn't want to see guests." The steward looked embarrassed.

"Please tell the manager again. Tell Xiang Zhuang that if he doesn't see me, I won't leave today." Xiang Shaolong simply acted rogue.

The steward looked embarrassed, but he didn't dare to refute his face.

Turning around and looking at Xiang Yu, his attitude towards Xiang Yu was completely different from that towards Xiang Shaolong: "Master, what can I do for you?"

"I want to see Xiang Zhuang. If the steward can pass the news on my behalf, I will be grateful in the future." Xiang Yu said.

As nobles, the two of them would never be too polite to a servant in charge.

"Young Master wants to see my master?" The steward shook his head: "I advise you not to have any wishful thinking. My master will never see you. Young Master, you should leave."

"I want to see Xiang Zhuang!" Xiang Yu looked serious.

"Come, see the guests off! Please ask this young master to go out." The chief steward said with a smile.

A guard came forward and tried to push Xiang Yu out.

"Asshole! How dare you not pass the message to me? Why can he pass the message but I can't?" Xiang Yu cursed angrily, but he did not dare to resist and could only let the warrior push him.

"You don't care how much you weigh. How can you compare with the prince?" The chief steward smiled contemptuously: "Hurry out and don't disturb the master's rest."
