It's a pity that he was disappointed. Gu Chen poured himself a drink and seemed to have no thoughts about King Pei's death and the water dance army surrounding the hall, acting as if it was none of his business.
He sighed heavily in his heart, knowing that this person did not intend to disturb this muddy water.
If the Chen clan behind this person is willing to come forward, then Prince Wu Lie will also have to be wary.
But King Pei is dead, and the reason he used to persuade the other party to help is naturally gone.
There is no benefit, what can he ask others to do? What's more, at this time, even he himself doesn't know what to do.
To put it bluntly, Prince Wu Lie had a better move and they were caught off guard!
Taking a deep breath, Tang Xuance gradually cleared his mind.
At this time, he must not cause chaos or be framed, otherwise the country of Pei will really be doomed.
King Pei was very kind to him. Even if he died, he would protect the country for him!
"Your Highness Wu Lie, King Pei died suddenly. I ordered the army to guard the palace, strictly investigate the gangsters, and protect the royal family. Is this wrong?"
Tang Xuance's eyes sparkled. He first told Wu Lie confidently, and then looked at the officials with righteousness. "The death of King Pei is a time of national crisis. We and the officials should stabilize the situation as soon as possible. If anyone talks nonsense again,
If you talk nonsense and cause chaos in the court, don’t blame me for being ruthless with my sword!”
With one hand, he blocked Wu Lie's mouth with justice and honor, and with the other hand, he threatened the officials to stop them from throwing dirty water. At this moment, Tang Xuance showed extremely clever skills.
His words were immediately effective, and all the officials shut up.
Regardless of the fact that Prince Wu Lie was present, Tang Xuance was the local snake after all, and he was really driven to a panic. The Shui Wu Army was not a vegetarian, and most of them were going to die today.
Will Prince Wulie stand up for them? Maybe he will help one or two important ministers, but he doesn't care about the life or death of most people.
After all, the first thing all officials should consider is themselves. Since Tang Xuance said so, no one wants to be the one who stands out anymore.
Shao Jianmin did not continue to throw dirty water. In fact, if the officials did not agree with him, the effect of doing so would be minimal. Instead, he would gain a reputation of being disloyal and unjust.
Tang Xuance's quick calmness and countermeasures made Gu Chengao look at him a few times. This man was loyal to King Pei and had a lot of brains. He was indeed a talent.
"What Mr. Tang said makes sense, but I don't know how you can stabilize the situation now that King Pei is dead?"
Seeing that all the officials were silent, Wu Lie frowned slightly, sneered, and asked.
"Of course we should elect a new King of Pei as soon as possible." Tang Xuance looked hesitant.
"Oh? Then I wonder which prince will succeed the throne of King Pei? As far as I know, King Pei did not establish a crown prince during his lifetime." Wu Lie asked with interest.
"It is true that King Pei did not establish a crown prince during his lifetime, so this matter still needs to be discussed between the royal family and the ministers." Tang Xuance said cautiously. He just wanted to deal with the current situation first and then talk about other things.
"If that's the case, I would like to recommend someone." Wu Lie raised the corner of his mouth and said with a hint of ridicule. "I heard that Liu Yan, the seventh prince of Pei Kingdom, was both civil and military and had a kind heart. I thought that if he could inherit the throne of Pei Kingdom, he would be the best choice for Pei Kingdom.
The blessing of the people of the country."
After he finished speaking, he looked at the officials with a deep look in his eyes. "What do you think of what this prince said?"
The officials of Pei State, headed by Shao Jianmin, were shocked. Knowing that this person was dissatisfied with their previous behavior, they hurriedly spoke.
"Yes, the seventh prince has both political integrity and talent, and is most suitable to succeed the throne of King Pei."
"If the seventh prince can inherit the throne, it will be a blessing to the people of our country!"
The seventh prince is frail and sick, and suffers from eye problems. He has never participated in court affairs. Everyone knows that he is unsuitable.
However, when Wu Lie came, he turned a deer into a horse, and no official dared to disobey him. The court of Pei Kingdom seemed to be under his control!
The reason why he did this is also very simple. King Pei is dead, and it would be best if Tang Xuance could retreat despite the difficulties, so that everyone would save trouble.
This can be regarded as a way out for the Tang family. As long as Tang Xuance does what he wants, he is willing to let the Tang family go.
As long as smart people know what to do now, King Pei is already dead, so what's the point of being foolish and loyal?
All the officials thought that Tang Xuance would go down this stairs. Who would have thought that he looked cold and said: "Is His Highness Wu Lie trying to interfere in Pei's internal affairs? Have you forgotten the treaty between Dasheng and the Seven Kingdoms?"
As soon as these words came out, all the officials secretly scolded him for being stupid, and Wu Lie's entire face became extremely cold. Gu Chen, on the other hand, showed some appreciation in his eyes.
"This prince is just a suggestion, it cannot be taken seriously."
Wu Lie smiled coldly, glanced at Tang Xuance, then at Gu Chen who was sitting watching the show, turned around and walked away.
"Since King Pei is dead, there is no point in my prince staying here. You can handle the funeral affairs."
"By the way, this prince will stay in Peidu for a while, waiting for the new King Pei to succeed to the throne, and then come to visit again."
"Tang Xuance, you'd better elect a new King Pei as soon as possible. My time is limited and my patience is also limited!"
As he spoke, he walked out of the hall, followed closely by a group of crows.
After all, he did not take action in the palace, but the meaning of the words he left was obvious. He was not only reminding the officials, but also warning Tang Xuance that the new King Pei must satisfy him!
Tang Xuance looked at his leaving figure with a heavy heart, wondering where Peiguo would be tomorrow.
All the officials were also thinking a lot, and they were thinking more about their own future.
When he walked out of the banquet hall and was about to leave the palace, Prince Wu Lie caught a glimpse of the Taohua layman standing in the shadows.
"Didn't you run away? Why did you come back?" Prince Wulie mocked him when he saw him, feeling a little disdainful in his heart.
There were rumors that this Taohua layman was so powerful, but today it turned out that he was just a idiot.
Taohua layman heard the other party's ridicule, but he had no shame to say anything after the task was messed up. He took out a storage ring and threw it to the other party. "I can't complete your task in Wuwang Pavilion, so I will give you the reward."
"What? You can't kill Tang Xuance and the other killers in Wuwang Pavilion can't do it either? That's all Wuwang Pavilion has?" Prince Wulie said sarcastically.
"Second Prince, please speak politely. I really don't have the ability to deal with the Tang family's worshipper, but that doesn't mean that the other killers in Wuwang Pavilion can't do it. I returned the reward just to tell you that if you want to deal with Tang Xuance and the Tang family's worshiper, this
A little reward is not enough." Taohua layman said with an ugly look on his face, coldly.
"What do you mean?" Wu Lie frowned.
"The higher the reward, the higher the risk. This is the rule of my Wuwang Pavilion. The situation was unknown before, and I didn't know that the Tang family had such a worshipper, so the reward would be lower. If the second prince really wants to kill Tang Xuance and that person,
To make offerings, you can request Wuwang Pavilion again, but of course the price will be much higher than before." Taohua layman explained.
"Oh? I wonder how high it is?" Wu Lie's eyes flashed.
"I'm afraid the price is beyond the reach of the second prince." Taohua layman looked complicated and turned to leave after speaking.
"Then the Tang family's worship is so strong?" Wu Lie was moved for a moment and wanted to ask more, but Taohua layman had already gone away.
Wu Lie, who stayed where he was, thought for a long time, then turned around and said to the crow general: "Let this prince investigate, thoroughly! We must find out the origin of the Tang family's offering, even his ancestors cannot be spared!"
