Chapter 1788

Gu Chen, who was sitting cross-legged under a tree practicing, sensed someone approaching. When he opened his eyes, he found an old woman who was dressed gracefully and luxuriously, but looked haggard.

Looking at Tang Xuance's respectful appearance by his side, he immediately guessed the identity of the old woman.

"Master Yuan Yuan, I have met Mr. Chen." The Empress Dowager Pei Guo took the initiative to step forward and saluted Gu Chen respectfully.

The name of the empress dowager of a country has never been something that casual people can easily call directly, and this kind of self-reporting of the name is often only done when facing respected seniors.

Gu Chen raised his eyebrows immediately, but he didn't feel flattered, but instead gave Tang Xuance a half-smile.

When Tang Xuance saw him looking over, his face was immediately filled with guilt, and his heart beat like a drum.

The empress dowager put her posture so low when she came, and the person opposite is not a fool, how could she not guess that his true identity has been leaked by him?

"It was the old man who kept asking Mr. Tang, and Mr. Tang informed Mr. Chen's identity. I know Mr. Chen likes to be quiet, so please forgive me for disturbing him!" The Empress Dowager hurriedly explained for Tang Xuance.

Like to be quiet?

Gu Chen's eyes showed a look of sarcasm, if he really likes quietness, there is no need to disturb Peiguo's muddy water.

In fact, although the development of the current situation is somewhat different from what he originally imagined, it also meets his requirements.

It was within his calculations that Tang Xuance would confess him, and he had nothing to pursue, so he looked at the Empress Dowager, pretending to be indifferent and distant, and said, "Chen can't afford such a big gift from the Empress Dowager, what's the point? "

The person didn't get up, and he didn't even move his buttocks. Gu Chen's arrogant attitude didn't make the empress dowager dissatisfied, on the contrary, he felt a little more expectation in his heart.

If it was really a member of the Chen clan, the greater the airs, the greater the ability, and the more likely it is to solve the current crisis of Peiguo.

"The old man is abrupt, I implore Mr. Chen to lend a helping hand to relieve our urgent need in Peiguo!"

The empress dowager's skirt lifted, and she actually knelt down on her knees and kowtowed heavily to Gu Chen!

Tang Xuance next to him was taken aback, there were many eunuchs and palace guards not far away, he did not expect the empress dowager to make such a big gift in full view.

It can be seen that the royal family of Pei is really at the end of its rope, which makes an old man so humble.

Tang Xuance felt sad, and knelt down to salute. The guards and eunuchs in the distance didn't know what happened, and panicked, they also hurriedly knelt down.

"Peiguo's crisis is caused by that Prince Wulie. Chen is alone and alone, but he can't help the royal family. Why should the Queen Mother be like this?" Gu Chen said expressionlessly.

"As long as Mr. Chen is willing to lend a helping hand, no matter whether it succeeds or not, our royal family will always remember this kindness!" said the Queen Mother, and hurriedly added. "Of course, we won't let Mr. Chen help in vain. Feel free to ask Mr. Chen for any request. We will do our best to fulfill it!"

"If Chen has the ability to solve Peiguo's crisis, do you think there is anything I would like in Peiguo?" Gu Chen jokingly said.

Hearing this, the Empress Dowager's heart sank, she didn't know how to respond.

Of course she knew that since the person in front of her was a member of the Chen family, the bargaining chips that Pei Guo could offer to make him willing to be an enemy of Prince Wulie were pitifully small.

There is really no other way for her to come here to ask for help. In addition, Tang Xuance told her that the other party seems to have something to do with the disappearance of Luomen. The motive for coming to Peidu is ambiguous. Maybe she can persuade her to move, so she came forward with hope. Come.

But now it seems that I have knelt down, and the other party is still hard-hearted and indifferent, it is really impossible to be persuaded by others!

"Mr. Chen..."

Tang Xuance tried to persuade the Empress Dowager, but Gu Chen gave him a cold look. "Shut up, let me talk to the Queen Mother alone."

His words were very blunt, Tang Xuance smiled wryly, thinking that he was still angry at himself for leaking the secret.

He glanced at the empress dowager, hesitated in his heart, and let the two of them get along alone, wondering if this one would do anything that would be detrimental to the empress dowager.

The empress dowager immediately gave him a slap in the face and told him to obey her orders.

Tang Xuance had no choice but to get up, and ordered all the eunuchs and guards around to leave, leaving enough space for the two of them, and then he also left, standing far away.

"I don't know what Mr. Chen wants to talk to the old man alone?"

The empress dowager felt a little apprehensive. The man in front of her looked very young, but for some reason, the majesty exuded invisibly was far inferior to that of King Pei.

Such an extraordinary aura made her more convinced that the other party had a strong background, but it also made her more concerned about gains and losses. After all, the fate of the royal family now depends on the other party's attitude.

"I won't go around in circles with you anymore. I can help solve Liu's crisis, but I must agree to a few conditions."

Unexpectedly, without outsiders around, Gu Chen directly agreed to help.

"Mr. Chen is serious?"

The empress dowager was stunned for a moment, and then she was ecstatic. She just thought that the matter was probably blown up.

After waking up, as if she was afraid that the other party would regret it, she hurriedly asked again: "I wonder what conditions Mr. Chen has?"

Gu Chen was not in a hurry to speak now, he stood up, put his hands behind his back, and looked at the sky with deep and far-sighted eyes.

In the long talk with the Great Prophet in Luomen, Gu Chen understood a lot of truths through his erudition and perspective on things.

Why did he come to Hongmeng Dao Realm?

The purpose is that the common people of the chaotic kingdoms will no longer suffer from the darkness and turmoil, and the purpose is to seek a balance between the expansion of the Taoist world and the survival of the chaotic sea.

And to achieve this goal, he must contact the ruler of the Hongmeng Dao Realm, that is, the supreme Nine Dao Courts.

How to get in touch? Go directly to the door to negotiate?

Not to mention that Gu Chen's current strength is still unable to compete with the Nine Dao Courts, even if he really has that strength, it is related to the interests of the Nine Dao Courts, how can they listen to him?

Therefore, the best way is to infiltrate. If he can enter the Dao Court and innovate from the inside, he may be able to achieve his goal!

However, the Dao Court is not so easy to enter. If you want to influence the decision-making of the Dao Court, you must have a seat in the Dao Court!

How to have a seat? Naturally, it requires great power!

Anyone who can have a seat in the Taoist court is either the powerful clan of the ancient clan or the ruler of the great dynasty.

Only those who have the power to influence a large territory can be qualified to participate in decision-making in the Dao Court. If you don't have this, even if your personal force is extremely strong, you are not eligible to enter the Dao Court!

After Gu Chen understood this, he began to plan everything in his heart, and Pei Guo naturally entered his field of vision.

Under the development of endless years, the seats of the Nine Great Courts have almost been fixed, and it is difficult to change them.

In this case, if he wants to win a seat in the Taoist court, he must enter a certain big force and become the leader of this big force.

However, most of the people who can become the leaders of that kind of forces are carefully cultivated since childhood, with a clear identity and background. It is difficult for him, a person who joins halfway, to win, or perhaps he cannot get support at all!

This road is extremely difficult, and once he has gone through many situations, he cannot control himself, so he chose another road: support a force that he can control, and let it compete for a seat in the Dao Court!

The seat in the Taoist court has long been solidified, so it seems more difficult to do so, but it has many benefits for Gu Chen.

First of all, those forces that already have seats in the Dao Court are intricate and complicated, with various interests constraining them, it is difficult to do things according to their own ideas, but supporting a relatively blank force can make them more controllable, and the future After entering the Dao Court, it is also better to promote your own ideas.

Secondly, he had to act in a high-profile way in order to join those big forces, which easily exposed his identity and attracted the attention of interested people. But to support a new force, he can hide behind the scenes and control everything. Even if one day the plan fails, it will be much easier to get out.

Out of all these considerations, he decided to go out of his way to stir up the separatist situation in this Dao world, and Pei Guo became his choice.

The internal and external troubles that Peiguo is facing are just suitable for him to intervene, and this kingdom once had a place in the Taoist court, and he believes in its potential.

Therefore, there is no need for the empress dowager to beg, he will not sit and watch Pei country fall into the hands of Prince Na Wulie, because Pei country is destined to become his power!

This Peiguo will be the cornerstone of his game with the Nine Dao Family, an experimental field, since he has taken a fancy to it, he will not allow other people to touch it!

After arriving in Peidu, Gu Chenben was still thinking about how to control Peiguo in a reasonable and reasonable way. Unexpectedly, Prince Wulie made a move, Tang Xuance misunderstood his real identity, and everything became a matter of course.

He originally wanted to start with Pei Wang, but he was caught off guard by Pei Wang's death. Fortunately, after some twists and turns, things finally got back on track.

Feeling the expectant eyes of the Empress Dowager, Gu Chen slowly opened his mouth and expressed his request.

"First, I must choose the new Prince Pei. Of course, I will only choose from among the eight princes."

"Second, if the royal family survives the crisis smoothly, from now on, the royal family will support me with the power of a country."

"Third, I heard that the royal family has the Yuanzu's skull in its collection. This must be handed over to me!"

The first two conditions are fine, the Empress Dowager didn't know which prince to choose to be the successor, and if Gu Chen can really save the royal family, enshrining him is a matter of course, and it will help bind the other party.

However, when she heard the third condition, her face changed suddenly, and she became a little flustered.

"How do you know that Yuanzu's skull is in the hands of my royal family?" She lost her voice, somewhat understanding why the other party wanted to talk to herself alone, and the content of the conversation must not be leaked!

This matter is an absolute secret, and only a few people in the royal family know about it. She doesn't know how the other party knows about it!

"How do I know that there is no need to tell you, I just ask you, agree or not?"

Gu Chen replied calmly, the empress dowager's face was full of hesitation for a while, and the heart was full of heaven and man!

Gu Chen didn't urge her, and quietly waited for her decision.

After a long time, the Empress Dowager finally spoke, with a bitter smile on her lips. "This item has been in the hands of my royal family for many years, and it has never been used for anything. Perhaps it is destined to have no fate with the Liu family! Anyway, I will hand it over to you, and I hope it will be my Liu family's long-term existence!"
