Knowing that Gu Chen had chosen Liu Yan, the Empress Dowager and Tang Xuance looked at each other, and Tang Xuance couldn't help questioning. "Mr. Chen, this is not the same as what we discussed before, right? If the Seventh Prince is chosen to succeed him, wouldn't it be the same as surrendering to Prince Wulie?"
He never thought that Gu Chen would choose the Seventh Prince. At this time, he was worried whether Gu Chen had become timid and dared not confront Wu Lie.
"That's right, Mr. Chen, Yan'er has been weak and sick since he was a child, how can he bear such a big storm?" The Queen Mother also said, more worried about Liu Yan's life.
"Don't worry, both of you, let me ask you, how can you count as losing to Na Wulie?" Gu Chen asked with a faint smile.
"Once the military and political power of Peiguo falls into Wu Lie's hands, it will be a complete loss." Tang Xuance replied.
"That's right. Only when the military and political power of the Pei Kingdom falls into Wulie's hands can it be considered a loss. Just letting the Seventh Prince succeed to the throne doesn't count. We can't veto the Seventh Prince's bid for the throne just because Wulie wants the Seventh Prince to succeed. Power, wouldn't that mean Ulie interfered with the succession of the throne?"
"I was also so narrow-minded before, but after I communicated with the seventh prince in depth, I found that he is far from what the rumors say. I believe that he can be a good monarch, and he is the only one who I am willing to support."
Gu Chen explained frankly that Tang Xuance understood that the other party did not do this because he was afraid of Wu Lie.
He breathed a sigh of relief, but he still had concerns. "I understand what Mr. Chen means, and I also believe that since Mr. Chen said so, the Seventh Prince must be superior. But the problem is not so simple now. Once the Seventh Prince is chosen, all officials will think that the royal family is retreating." I even think that even Mr. Chen is afraid of Prince Wulie. In that way, Prince Wulie's authority will be truly established, and all officials will obey him!"
"Hundred officials are nothing but grass, so there is no need to worry about it. I will have a way to control them at that time. Send me a greeting card now. Three days later, I will visit the door in person and meet Prince Wulie for a while. "Gu Chen casually confessed that after choosing Liu Yan as the candidate for King Xinpei, he also had a new plan in mind.
Gu Chen's attitude was firm, Tang Xuance felt a headache, and wanted to ask Gu Chen about his specific plan, but he didn't want to say more.
In desperation, he could only follow his instructions, and now there was no way out, they couldn't give up on the backing of the Chen clan!
Tang Xuance left to work, and Gu Chen looked at the queen mother again and reminded: "You princes, I hope the queen mother can explain clearly that Chen doesn't want some relatives and enemies to be happy in the process of the seventh prince's succession. I hope All the princes can unanimously support the seventh prince. By the way, I forgot to mention one thing just now, the seventh prince has officially accepted me as his teacher."
Some things must be vaccinated in advance. Each prince has more or less his own power in the court. If they refuse to accept the seventh prince’s supremacy and make trouble, or even do stupid things to help foreign enemies, then the Pei royal family is really hopeless. .
Gu Chen deliberately disclosed his acceptance of apprentices to clarify his position and dispel the redundant thoughts of the empress dowager and other members of the royal family.
Although the Queen Mother ignored the government, she could hear the meaning of Gu Chen's words and nodded seriously. "Mr. Chen, please rest assured that I will strictly restrain the princes. At this juncture, no one will be allowed to be deceived by lard. Yaner, I will leave it to Mr. Chen. I believe in Mr. Chen!"
The Empress Dowager still has concerns about Gu Chen's choice, but at this time she can only choose one way to go to the dark.
The Queen Mother also left, and Gu Chen returned to his temporary residence in the palace.
Considering his identity and the significance to Peiguo now, the Empress Dowager placed him in Luoshui Palace.
This Luoshui Palace is not simple, it is the exclusive residence of Luomen in King Pei's palace, and it is never opened to outsiders on weekdays.
Throughout the ages, Luoshui Palace has lived in many prophets of Luomen, even the great prophets of Luomen. It is an extremely sacred and honorable place.
From this point, we can see the close relationship between the royal family of Pei and Luomen. Unfortunately, in front of the enemy, Luomen chose Xianyin, which made the royal family of Pei face a catastrophe.
Gu Chen has an alliance with the Great Prophet of Luomen. Before coming to Peidu, the Great Prophet also asked him to help the royal family of Peidu. Now that he is staying in Luoshui Palace, it is justified.
However, outsiders don't know his relationship with Luomen, and the royal family of Pei was really disappointed with Luomen, and valued his identity and background, so they specially opened Luoshui Palace for him to live in.
Luoshui Palace covers a very large area, with five steps and one bridge, and ten steps and one corridor in the palace, which is magnificently decorated.
It's a pity that Gu Chen has no interest in the beautiful scenery at all. After returning to his room, without attracting the attention of the guards, he quietly changed his clothes, his face changed drastically, and then left Luoshui Palace and the palace.
Stepping into the huge hustle and bustle of Peidu, Gu Chen went straight to the pawn shop in Wuwang Pavilion.
He visited Prince Wulie about three days later. The reason why he came three days later was to set aside some time to learn about the situation of the Chen family.
He is playing with fire by impersonating the identity of the Chen family. Naturally, he needs to know more about the Chen family. Otherwise, if others try it out, they will reveal their flaws and the truth will be discovered, and the game will not continue.
Coming to the pawn shop, Gu Chen went straight to the second floor, and soon met Ye Mi, the owner of the pawn shop.
There were no outsiders in the private room, Ye Mi took off her hat and veil, revealing a pretty face that was astonishing as heaven, and glared at Gu Chen fiercely with her beautiful eyes. "You still dare to come to the door, do you know how much business you have caused my Wuwang Pavilion to lose?"
Others don't know the identity behind the priest of the Tang family who prevented the assassination of Lay Taohua, but Ye Mi knows it well.
When the news of Jushi Taohua's failed assassination came back to Wuwang Pavilion, Ye Mi was shocked and couldn't believe it.
She knew that the person in front of her was quite powerful, but she never expected that even a national war-level killer would be able to defeat him!
You must know that she had sworn in front of Gu Chen that once a national war-level killer came out, Gu Chen would never be able to protect Tang Xuance, but in the end she slapped her in the face severely.
What happened after that shocked her even more. After Layman Taohua met with the pavilion master in the Immortal Journey Realm and explained the mission, the mission to assassinate Tang Xuance disappeared from the pavilion.
Wuwang Pavilion voluntarily gave up the task of assassinating Tang Xuance, which only shows one problem, that is, the price to be paid for assassinating Tang Xuance far exceeds the reward that Wuwang Pavilion can get!
Unexpectedly, this person in front of her could force Wuwang Pavilion to give up her mission. As the person who recommended him to join Wuwang Pavilion, she didn't know whether to be happy or depressed.
"How can a mere business be compared to the benefits brought by such a powerful killer like me?" Gu Chenyun replied calmly.
"Hmph, you are really confident." Ye Mi said dissatisfiedly, but she was powerless to refute Gu Chen's words.
