Chapter 1789 Borrowing the hand of the Qiankun Society
"But the premise is that you can really help Mrs. Liu survive this crisis. When you do it, I will give you the things."
The Queen Mother added that she could not let Gu Chen do whatever he said, she had to wait until he fulfilled his promise.
"This is natural." Gu Chen had no objection, and the two of them had reached an agreement.
"We are facing a national crisis. Please help Mr. Chen as soon as possible." the Queen Mother urged with a look of anticipation.
"There's no rush, it's not time for me to take action yet." Gu Chen waved to Tang Xuance in the distance, and he immediately ran over. How could he still have the demeanor of an army commander?
After arriving, he exchanged glances with the Queen Mother, and when he saw her nodding slightly, a look of joy appeared on her face, knowing that the Queen Mother had successfully persuaded Chen Chongfeng!
"Master Tang, please send someone to secretly spread the news about me. As for what you are spreading, I don't need to say more. I am very confident in your ability to leak secrets." Gu Chen said calmly.
Tang Xuance heard the sarcasm in these words and looked slightly embarrassed, but he still nodded hurriedly. "I follow Mr. Chen's instructions."
The two people spoke with care, a bit like they were playing riddles. The Queen Mother on the side couldn't help but ask: "What news are you spreading?"
Tang Xuance immediately looked at Gu Chen, and seeing that Gu Chen had no objection, he explained to the Queen Mother. "To the Queen Mother, King Pei has just passed away, and Prince Wulie is so powerful. The Manchu officials are out of self-protection."
, I’m afraid they will all choose to be at the mercy of Prince Wu Lie.”
"Aren't those ministers in the court already traitors?" the Queen Mother said bitterly.
"No, of course some of the officials have followed Prince Wulie for a long time, but most of them are actually just outsiders. When there is no hope for the royal family to stand up, these people choose to obey Prince Wulie for their own benefit."
"As far as I know, there are a small number of people who have no choice but to betray the royal family because their family's lives were threatened."
"Under the current circumstances, if we want to stabilize the Pei Kingdom, we must first not completely oppose the officials, and we must even find ways to regain their support."
"Mr. Chen asked me to spread his identity to the outside world. As long as the officials know that Mr. Chen is a member of the Chen clan and is on the side of the royal family, this alone will be enough to make the officials undecided.
At least they dare not openly resist our next actions. And those officials who have been coerced before are more likely to side with us."
"To put it bluntly, Prince Wu Lie and Dasheng's authority use his power to suppress others. Next, Mr. Chen will do the same thing!"
The Queen Mother understood what Tang Xuance said right away, and she was quite happy in her heart. There is another benefit to the news, that is, Mr. Chen will no longer regret it, and her royal family will have more protection!
Tang Xuance had indeed guessed Gu Chen's thoughts, but he didn't know that Gu Chen was quite helpless at the moment.
Gu Chen had heard about the so-called identity of the Chen Clan from Tang Xuance. Until now, he still didn't know how big the Chen Clan's origins were and what the consequences of pretending to be one's identity might be.
However, things often did not develop as expected. After Prince Wu Lie intervened in the current situation of Pei State and even openly assassinated King Pei at a banquet, he no longer had much choice.
There are thousands of tribes in this world, and the heroes are divided into different groups. In many cases, individual force cannot shake the power.
With his strength, he could easily kill anyone in the government and the public of Pei State, but if he wanted to win over people's hearts, it would be very difficult for him to do it just because of Chen Yi's status as a casual cultivator.
In the same way, he was not afraid of Prince Wu Lie. Even if he was surrounded by layers of crow generals to protect him, he would still have the confidence to kill him if he was serious about it.
So what if he just kills Prince Wu Lie? Once he is killed, the Dasheng Dynasty will immediately take revenge. Even if he can escape by then, the Pei Kingdom will be completely destroyed.
Gu Chen's original intention was to support Pei State. If he wanted Pei State to become stronger step by step, he must not anger a behemoth like the Dasheng Dynasty until its national strength was sufficient.
Therefore, the choice before him was obvious.
Only by making mistakes and pretending to be a member of the Chen clan can it be possible to temporarily stabilize the Pei Kingdom court and give him more room to negotiate with Prince Wulie to avoid a direct fight to the death.
This approach is very imprudent, but it is the approach that Gu Chen is most likely to achieve the desired result after considering various actions...
Now that we have a preliminary strategy, the next thing to do is to try our best to guide the situation in the direction of our ideal. Gu Chen looked at the Queen Mother and said: "Let all the princes have a good rest today and adjust their mentality. Tomorrow
I want to meet them one by one."
Of course the Queen Mother knew what Gu Chen was going to do when he saw the princes, and she nodded repeatedly.
…
Shao Mansion, when Shao Jianmin came back, he sat on a chair with a gloomy face and didn't say a word for a long time.
Shao Jianwu was right next to him and could understand his elder brother's mood at the moment.
Originally, if he could force King Pei to abdicate smoothly today, the Shao family would have made a great contribution to Prince Wulie's side.
However, the development of the matter was out of control at all. The presence of Chen Yi, the enshrinement of the Tang family, caused Taohua layman to miss, and also gave King Pei something to rely on, and he refused to obey.
In the end, although King Pei still died, it was Prince Wulie who left him behind, and the contribution of the Shao family was gone!
Not only is the credit gone, but their performance today may have disappointed Prince Wu Lie, otherwise he wouldn’t have given an ultimatum before leaving!
If that's the only thing, that's it. Another thing is even more embarrassing.
Judging from the situation of Chen Yi's action, his eldest brother's son, Shao Heyang, the young master of the Shao family, was most likely killed by Chen Yi!
With the pain of losing a son and the fate of the family at stake, it's no wonder that his eldest brother is in a good mood.
"Contact the ministers for me and tell me that Shao will host a banquet tonight and invite me." Shao Jianmin thought for a long time and then raised his head and told Shao Jianwu.
Shao Jianwu nodded quickly, knowing that the elder brother wanted to sort out the relationship with the ministers. At this juncture, the relationship with the ministers cannot be lost.
"Also, the spies from the Qiankun Society who came to our door before tried to contact him and told him that I had important information to tell him!" Shao Jianmin's eyes suddenly flashed with a cold light.
"Brother wants to kill Chen Yi with the help of the Qiankun Association?" Shao Jianwu's eyes lit up, and he quickly understood Shao Jianmin's intention.
Shao Jianmin sneered, "Not long after Luo Men disappeared, spies from the Qiankun Society took the initiative to contact us. Coupled with what we heard from Dong Xianzhi, it can be seen that the big shot surnamed Gu cares about Luo Men very much. Chen Yi and that boy entered
Yuan Jie on the Holy Island has a good relationship. As long as we inform the spies of the Qiankun Society, the guy will naturally be miserable and walk away! He killed my son, how can we let this matter go?"
Shao Jianmin originally thought that Taohua layman could kill Gu Chen, but after Prince Wu Lie appeared, he thought that he would do it. Who would have thought that both of them would disappoint him, and the strength Gu Chen showed also made him feel like a light on his back.
In this case, he can only find a way to use other forces to avenge the murder of his son and solve the hidden danger!
"Brother is really powerful. Every time he strikes, it's a killing move. I'm afraid that even if Chen Yi dies, he won't even know that he was plotted by us."
Shao Jianwu smiled sinisterly and stood up to complete the task assigned by Shao Jianmin.
"Be careful when contacting Qiankunhui secret agents. Don't forget that the prince of Dasheng is also a member of Qiankunhui. If Prince Wu Lie finds out about the misunderstanding, we will be in trouble." Shao Jianmin was careful and said before leaving.
Just a reminder.
"Don't worry, brother, I know the seriousness of the matter." Shao Jianwu vowed and left.
