Ye Chenchen took advantage of the mutual distrust between Ye Xi and Mu Fan and constantly sow discord between them, which made Ye Xi and the Mu family delay the rebellion until now.

Ye Chenchen knew that the only way to solve the two major hidden dangers of the Mu family and Ye Anfeng, and at the same time preserve the vitality of the Chen Kingdom to the maximum extent, was to deliberately let Ye Xi succeed in usurping the throne and play a golden cicada to escape.

He sneaked to the Si Kingdom to hide, and then sat and watched Ye Anfeng and the Mu family, Ye Xi and others fight to the death for the Chen Kingdom. When they were both hurt, they came out to clean up the mess.

Now, Ye Anfeng has obtained the navy he dreamed of, and it is imminent to launch his army to invade Chen Kingdom. If he wants them to fight, it is necessary for Ye Xi to speed up his progress.

Half a month later, April 18th was Mu Fan's 300th birthday. So, Ye Chenchen deliberately sent Ye Xi to Kangzhou to celebrate Mu Fan's birthday. In order to give Ye Xi enough time, he even gave him a

An errand to inspect the five western states.

Ye Xi did not disappoint Ye Chenchen. It took him only five days to rush from the Imperial City to Kangzhou in the far west, where he rushed into Muhou Mansion and launched the final negotiation with Mu Fan.

For this negotiation, Mu Fan recalled Mu Hong and Mutu who were far away in the Mao Kingdom in the name of celebrating his birthday. Of course, his other two sons, Mutai and Mu Ye, who were in the Chen Kingdom, were also indispensable.

Accompanying Ye Xi to Kangzhou for negotiations were not only Wang Zhigang, the eldest son of the Wang family who betrayed Mi Chong and joined him, but also Ding Quan, the eldest son of the Ding family, from the two big families he had conquered in the past two years.

and Qiu Ping, the eldest son of the Qiu family.

In the secret room of Muhou Mansion, Mu Fan began his long speech: "Since I came to the throne, I have been aggressively militaristic and completely indifferent to the national conditions and people's sentiments. I have almost lost my life several times. In recent years, although people's livelihood has improved, the general trend is still the same.

If he continues to expand his armaments, the Chen Kingdom will be brought down by him sooner or later. The key point is that he is a person who does not miss old friendships. He blindly reuses the Yang family, the Huyan family, the Ji family, and other families with no merits, and even the Jing family.

This kind of family with unknown origins also has great trust. The five major families who supported him to the throne were all exterminated by him on unfounded charges. Now only my Mu family is still trying to support me. I am worried that if this continues

If this goes on, my Mu family will also suffer his murderous attacks. In order to survive and for the future of Chen Kingdom, I feel that it is necessary to change someone to be the emperor..."

Ye Xi interrupted Mu Fan impatiently: "My grandfather, there are no outsiders here today, so there is no need to say these high-sounding words. I am very grateful to you all for supporting me to be the emperor of the Chen Kingdom, but I know that the world

There is no free lunch, just make whatever conditions you have."

Mu Fan smiled heartily and said: "Okay, I like His Highness the Crown Prince's bold character. Since this is the point of the conversation, I am being rude."

Ye Xi stretched out one hand and said, "Grandpa, please speak!"

Mu Fan said solemnly: "First, after the matter is completed, the Kingdom of Chen will naturally be yours, His Highness the Crown Prince, but the Kingdom of Mao must belong to the Mu family, and His Highness the Crown Prince shall not interfere in the affairs of the Kingdom of Mao for any reason."

Ye Xi smiled and said: "No problem

, the country of Mao is originally under the control of my two uncles, even if I want to interfere, there is nothing I can do."

Mu Fan continued: "After the coup is successful, we will each send our troops to attack the Si country, and whoever captures the territory will own it."

Ye Xi thought for a while and said: "I can't agree to this for the time being. After the coup, there will definitely be a lot of opposition forces within the Chen Kingdom. We must first concentrate our forces and stabilize the Chen Kingdom internally before talking about external attacks. Moreover,

My grandfather must have heard about Uncle Ze Huang's (Ye Moze) ability in leading troops, so my opinion is not to provoke him for the time being."

Mu Fan rolled his eyes and said: "His Royal Highness, the worry is not unreasonable. Ye Moze is indeed a difficult person, so we will postpone this topic for another time. Our third condition is that after the matter is completed,

, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to officially entrust Sangzhou, Xiazhou, Lizhou and Zuozhou to my children of the Mu family."

Ye Xi said flatly: "No, there are only twelve states in the Chen Kingdom, and the Mu family will occupy five states at once. How can I appease the people of the world? I will hand over Sangzhou and Xiazhou to the Mu family at most.

This is my bottom line."

Mu Fan sneered and said, "His Royal Highness is very good at calculating. Sangzhou and Xiazhou are already under the control of my Mu family. We have been working together for a long time and got nothing."

Ye Xi said coldly: "Grandpa, I'm afraid you are mistaken. The third uncle and the fourth uncle are only the state pastors of these two states, not the lords of these two states. If the father and the emperor issue an imperial decree now, they will be
Chapter completed!
