The old emperor of Chu first cursed Xia for its wolfish ambitions, which not only encroached on Chen's interests, but also caused their spies to be caught by Chen.

The officials of the Chu State echoed this.

However, when discussing how to deal with this incident, a fierce dispute broke out within the Chu State.

People led by the fourth prince of Chu emphasized that Xia was rising too fast and that they must provide support to Chen as soon as possible and use Chen's army to weaken Xia's strength.

The officials united around the eldest prince and the third prince of Chu opposed it, saying that Chen's accidental killing of the spy would also destroy Chu's prestige, so it would be better to join forces with Xia to capture Chen and divide it up like a piece of cake.

Both sides think that they are right, the husband thinks that they are right.

The old emperor of Chu State has always been wary of Xia State. If it were in the past, he would definitely support the remarks of the fourth prince of Chu State and send part of the army and supplies to provide assistance.

But this time, the old emperor of Chu looked at several important officials who echoed the opinion of the fourth prince of Chu.

The old emperor of Chu suddenly said, "I don't believe that the old man of Chen can't find out who is behind the spy. The old man is on the first day of the month, and I am on the fifteenth day, then..."

The old emperor of Chu first looked at the eldest prince of Chu, paused, then looked at the third prince of Chu who pretended to be calm, and said: "Third prince, you are going to Xia as a special envoy to negotiate. If you want to share the cake of Chen, my Chu should also get the biggest share."

The third prince of Chu:?

He clenched his fists. It took a lot of effort for his father to start to be wary of his fourth brother, but how come he couldn't even compare to his eldest brother? Such a dangerous matter was handed over to me? !

At this time, the old emperor of Chu added: "It just so happens that the imperial examination of Xia is about to begin. You should take a good look and come back to report to me."

The third prince of Chu felt even more uncomfortable and said, "I obey..."

"Father!" The fourth prince of Chu could not help but take a step forward and spoke quickly, "Xia is developing rapidly. If we help them destroy Chen and give them a few years to recuperate, they will threaten our Great Chu..."

"Fourth brother, have you forgotten Shu?!" The eldest prince of Chu snorted, "Shu borders Xia more closely and is closer to Xia. If we really want to fight, we should fight Shu first. Besides, if Xia can develop, then our Chu will not be slow either! If it doesn't work, we can divide the country by the river..."

"That's enough!" The ambitious old emperor of Chu looked at the eldest prince of Chu with some disdain, "I've already told you, if you don't have much experience, just shut up."

The First Prince of Chu: ...

The fourth prince of Chu State took the opportunity to bow once again: "Father..."

The old emperor of Chu looked at the fourth prince of Chu who was still trying to speak, and said coldly: "Do you want to disobey me?"

The heart of the fourth prince of Chu State tightened, and he bowed his head and saluted: "I dare not."

The old emperor of Chu State no longer looked at the fourth prince of Chu State who was kowtowing, and pretended nothing had happened and continued to discuss other government affairs with the court officials.

The court officials also saw that the old emperor was angry, and no one dared to plead for mercy. It was not until the Fourth Prince of Chu had knelt for almost a cup of tea that the old emperor of Chu casually asked him to stand up.

After the Fourth Prince of Chu stood up, he kept his brows lowered and said nothing.

After the court session, some officials who had been very cordial with the Fourth Prince of Chu before now left with the First Prince and the Third Prince of Chu.

The eldest and third princes of Chu were stunned and looked at the fourth prince of Chu meaningfully.

The eldest prince of Chu turned around and led his people around in front of the fourth prince of Chu.

Not only did he go around in circles, the eldest prince of Chu also said: "Fourth brother, a younger brother must know how to behave as a younger brother."
