The Shao family was destroyed overnight, and it was still destroyed by the crow generals, which made people change their minds, and all the officials in Peidu were in a state of panic all day long.
When most people still didn't know what happened, the royal family of Pei had already announced that the seventh prince, Liu Yan, would inherit the throne of King Pei!
This move was undoubtedly the royal family's surrender to Prince Wulie, but what happened next confused all the officials.
Prince Wulie left and withdrew from Peidu, including all his troops.
He neither placed any of his own people in the Peiguo court, nor instructed the royal family to implement any government orders, and even the Shao family was wiped out overnight, which invisibly frightened Xiaoxiao and consolidated the royal family's dominance.
The officials couldn't figure out the secret, but they also saw that the royal family had reached a fairer agreement with Prince Wulie, and the two sides compromised with each other!
All of this happened after the rumors that the children of the Chen clan had meddled in the situation in Peiguo, which aroused many people's imaginations for a while.
Following Wu Lie's departure, the army of Lan Kingdom also withdrew from the land of Pei Kingdom like a tide, and the border of Pei Kingdom was stabilized again.
As soon as Xinpei King Liu Yan succeeded to the throne, he announced the establishment of the Xuanjian Division, led by Tang Xuance, to carry out a series of drastic reforms inside and outside the court!
Wherever the Xuanjian Division went, corrupt officials were punished, treacherous officials were purged, and countless homes were ransacked for a while, and the Peiguo court ushered in a new atmosphere.
Pei Wang Liu Yan swept away his weak and incompetent image in the past. At this time, the government and the public knew that although the Seventh Prince was blind, he had an extraordinary mind. He was just a Zangfeng back then!
...
In Luoshui Palace, Pei Wang Liu Yan held the disciple ceremony, stood in the lower position, and was telling Gu Chen about the new situation of Pei Kingdom.
Gu Chen sat cross-legged and closed his eyes. Liu Yan didn't know if he had listened, but he still told him the state affairs in every detail.
"In the future, you don't have to report the state affairs of Peiguo to me in detail. If you have any doubts or difficulties in making a decision, you can ask Tang Xuance for advice."
When Liu Yan was talking about the same thing, Gu Chen spoke flatly, without any interest in state affairs.
"The student understands."
Liu Yan saluted obediently, but felt a little helpless in his heart.
Since worshiping this person as a teacher, his life has undergone earth-shaking changes.
Lan country has withdrawn its troops, Prince Wulie has also left, Pei country has survived a crisis, and all of this is due to Gu Chen's contribution. From the perspective of the country's righteousness, he is very grateful to him in his heart.
From a personal point of view, he was able to ascend the throne, and he was ordered to forbid him to freely display his ambitions and talents.
The kindness of dripping water should be repaid with a spring, not to mention such a great kindness, so he has been thinking about repaying Gu Chen.
As soon as he succeeded to the throne, the first thing he did was to announce to the world that he would formally regard him as the master of the king, but Gu Chen refused and asked him to keep a low profile on this matter.
Not only did he not compete for fame, but the teacher tried his best to help him stabilize the Peiguo court, but he stopped interfering and completely returned the power to him.
Such behavior dispelled some of his original worries, but he also had new worries.
In this world, apart from kinship, the closeness of people is determined by the relationship of interests. Although he is only sixteen years old, he was born in the royal family after all, and he understands this truth well.
Gu Chenfei vigorously supported him, but if he couldn't give anything in return, then this kind of relationship is destined to not last long, even if they already have the status of master and apprentice.
"By the way, how are your brothers doing?" As if suddenly remembering, Gu Chen opened his eyes and asked.
"This... the brothers are somewhat dissatisfied with my succession." Liu Yan hesitated for a while, and said in deliberation.
In fact, it was more than a little dissatisfied. Since he succeeded to the throne, several elder brothers have defied his decree either openly or secretly, especially the second elder brother Liu Che, who openly shielded an official who was to be dealt with by the Xuanjian Division.
Although they grasped the measure and did not dare to affect the overall situation, it still made him feel a little tricky.
Gu Chen saw the hesitation in Liu Yan's eyes, guessed it more or less, and said indifferently: "As an emperor, you must distinguish between everyone and everyone, do you understand what I mean?"
Liu Yan's heart trembled, knowing that Gu Chen was making a point, he hurriedly said: "Student understands, as the king of Pei, the student should take the country and society as the most important thing!"
Gu Chen nodded upon hearing this.
The Pei Wang he personally selected cannot be someone who wholeheartedly protects brotherhood and disregards the safety of the country and the country.
If several princes have the intention of rebellion, Liu Yan must suppress them, cut off their wings, and even kill them if necessary.
If he can't do this and cause Pei country to fall into civil strife again, it will be a disappointment to his expectations.
In fact, he could help Liu Yan solve all these hidden dangers in one go, but he didn't want to do that.
He hopes that the person he chooses is a wise king. If he needs to help even this matter, how can the other party manage Peiguo in an orderly manner?
Gu Chen has a long-term plan, and he spends more of his time on cultivation, but he doesn't care about these trivial matters.
"Okay, if there's nothing else to do, let's go down." Gu Chen said, and issued an order to evict the guest.
Hearing this, Liu Yan resigned. He hesitated before turning around and leaving. He mustered up his courage and said, "The teacher treats the students with great kindness. I don't know how the students should repay them?"
He intends to maintain this relationship, but he can't figure out Gu Chen's thoughts.
"Make every effort to bring order to the country, make the country peaceful and the people peaceful, and the world peaceful, that's your reward for me." Gu Chen said casually.
"Is that all?" Liu Yan was stunned.
"More than that, Peiguo can only help me if it becomes stronger. That's all for now, let's go down."
Gu Chen took a deep look at Liu Yan, and believed that he was a smart person and would not fail to understand what he meant.
"Students understand, students will follow the teachings, and will govern Peiguo well with all their heart!"
Liu Yan guessed something, with a solemn expression, saluted again, then turned and left, feeling a lot more relaxed.
The teacher's ambition is not in Peiguo, but in a farther place, and he already knows what to do.
Not long after Liu Yan left, the Empress Dowager arrived.
After dismissing the people around, the Empress Dowager solemnly took out a black iron treasure box from the storage ring, with a bit of reluctance on her face.
"According to the agreement with Mr. Chen, this item will be handed over to you today."
She finally took a deep breath and handed out the treasure box with both hands.
Gu Chen took the treasure box, although he didn't open it immediately, he guessed what was inside.
According to his original agreement with the Queen Mother, as long as he can solve the crisis faced by the Pei royal family, the royal family will support him with the power of a country and hand over the skull of the Yuanzu.
This agreement, especially regarding the existence of Yuanzu's skull, was kept secret by both parties. Even Liu Yan, who had just succeeded to the throne, did not know the existence of this object.
Gu Chen held the treasure box with both hands, feeling its weight, and remembered the words of the Great Prophet in his heart.
