The next day.
Just as Chu Chi had guessed, after the Emperor of Liang summoned him, invitations from all over the world flooded into the Northguard Prefecture like snowflakes.
Regardless of the rank, there were no lack of invitations. As long as it was in the capital, except for those who were not worthy of the name, almost everyone sent an invitation to Chu Chi.
Whether Chu Chi would go or not was one thing, but they had to send this invitation. If their invitation was chosen and caught Chu Chi's eye, then their meteoric rise would not be empty talk.
In the officialdom, the news was the most well-informed. Almost everyone knew that the Liang Emperor, Xiao Huan, wanted to marry Princess Changping, Xiao Yayun, to the Prince of Beiliang, Chu Chi.
Over the years, the Chu Clan of the Prince of Beiliang had gradually distanced themselves from the court. However, the marriage between Xiao Yayun and Chu Chi would definitely be a major event that would shake the entire officialdom.
The Prince of Beiliang was the most powerful Prince in the world, and he was also a Prince with a different surname. If he were to marry into the royal family, it would be a good thing for the political stability of Daliang and the interests of Beiliang.
A king and half an emperor. Everyone in the world knew who he was talking about.
The current Prince of Beiliang only had one son, and Chu Chi would definitely be the next Prince of Beiliang in the future. If he could catch Chu Chi's eye, it would not be too much to say that he would have a prosperous career in the future.
Of course, if he caught Chu Chi's eye, he would definitely be labeled as one of the Northern Liang's political factions in the future, but this was not a big problem.
According to past historical experience, the family of the Prince of Beiliang did not care about the affairs of the court. Perhaps they could not care, unless the interests of Beiliang were shaken. Usually, the Chu family of Beiliang would stay quietly at the border.
So to these officials, they could clearly distinguish this point. At most, when it came to the interests of Beiliang, they would stand up and say something. Everyone was familiar with this kind of thing.
After all, there were various factions in the imperial court.
Chu Chi ordered his men to keep all the invitations and then handed them to Ji Zi and Bai Yishu to help them read. He then picked out some people to meet.
Ji Zi, Bai Yishu, and the others had a hard time reading through the mountain-like posts. They finally managed to pick out a few people.
Chu Chi took the invitation that Ji Zi and the others had chosen and looked at it, then nodded and said,"Alright, just these people. Don't meet them one by one. When the time comes, pick a time and meet them all together.”
Ji Zi took out two invitation cards and handed them to Chu Chi."One of these two is for the First Prince and the other is for the Second Prince. Your Highness, take a look and see if you want to go or not.”
Chu Chi took the two invitations and looked at them. He then took a sip of tea and said lightly,""Yes, but you can't meet him alone. In a while, I'll send two invitations to invite the two princes to Taihu Restaurant.”
It was absolutely impossible to meet the two princes who were fighting for the throne alone, but it was also not appropriate to not meet them.
Since they wanted to meet but could not meet alone, they could only meet together. This way, everyone would sit together and talk openly. No one would be suspicious of each other.
"Oh right, where's the Startling Salamander? Why hadn't he seen her the entire day?”Chu Chi suddenly asked.
"Sister Startling Salamander seems to have gone to investigate Li Wende," Ji Zi said.”
"Li Wende?"
"The Jingzhou Provincial Governor."
"Oh, so it's him." Then Chu Chi asked curiously,"Can't we just let the people under the net handle these things? Why is she running errands?"”
"Last night, when His Highness was in the palace, Sister Jingli received news that Jingzhou's governor, Li Wende, has gone missing. It's said that he hasn't appeared in the government office for a few days.”
"Missing?" Chu Chi raised his eyebrows." What a coincidence. And why is the situation so similar? Another living person disappeared into thin air."”
Ji Zi shook her head." I don't know. I only heard from Sister Startling Salamander that Li Wende disappeared after he returned home a few days ago. His family went to take a look too. It's said that Li Wende didn't return that night.”
"Oh? Xiao Yu had disappeared into thin air from the bamboo forest posthouse, and the posthouse was built by Li Wende. Now, he had also disappeared. It seemed that there was some connection between the two.”
Chu Chi seemed to have thought of something and asked,""By the way, is there any movement from King Qin and King Jin's residence? It had already been three to four days. It should have some reaction by now.”
" I'm not sure," Ji Zi said." I'm afraid we'll only know about these things when Sister Startling Salamander returns. However, things have been peaceful for the past few days."”
"Behind the calm, there might be an even bigger storm.”Chu Chi closed his eyes and enjoyed Madam Ming Zhu's massage." It's still unclear what the purpose of the person behind this is, but it seems that it's not just to deal with me.”
Bai Yishu massaged Chu Chi's temples and said,""Your Highness, you mean that the person behind this has a greater goal?”
"Yes, the ones who have appeared in front of us now are the King of Qin, the King of Yan, and the King of Jin. If you count me, you should add the Northern Liang. The clues that we have now seem to be related to the 'Wangye'.”
"In that case, it's very likely that none of these kings are the real masterminds behind the scenes?" Ji Zi asked.”
"Hmph, it's not clear yet. Let the bullets fly for a while.”
"What did Your Highness say?"
"Haha, it's nothing.”
