When they learned that Gu Chen had chosen Liu Yan, the Queen Mother and Tang Xuance looked at each other. Tang Xuance couldn't help but question. "Mr. Chen, isn't this different from what we originally discussed? If the seventh prince is chosen to succeed, how can it be done?
Isn’t it equivalent to surrendering to Prince Wulie?”
He never expected that Gu Chen would choose the Seventh Prince. At this time, he was worried that Gu Chen had become timid and did not dare to fight Wu Lie.
"Yes, Mr. Chen, Yan'er has been weak and sick since he was a child. How can he withstand such strong winds and waves?" The Queen Mother also said, more worried about Liu Yan's life safety.
"Don't worry, you two. Let me ask you, what does it mean to lose to Wu Lie?" Gu Chen asked with a faint smile.
"Once the military and political power of Pei State falls into the hands of Wu Lie, it will be a complete loss." Tang Xuance replied.
"Yes, it is considered a loss only if the military and political power of Pei State falls into the hands of Wu Lie. Just letting the seventh prince succeed does not count. We cannot veto the seventh prince's bid for the throne just because Wu Lie wants the seventh prince to succeed.
Power, wouldn’t that mean that Ulie was interfering with the inheritance of the throne?”
"My thoughts were so narrow before, but after I had an in-depth exchange with the Seventh Prince, I found that he is far from what the rumors say. I believe he can be a good monarch, and he is the only one I am willing to support."
Gu Chen explained frankly, and Tang Xuance understood clearly 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 outstanding. But the problem now is not that simple. Once you choose
After marrying the seventh prince, all the officials will think that the royal family has backed down, and even think that even Mr. Chen is afraid of Prince Wulie. In this way, the authority of Prince Wulie will be truly established, and all the officials will obey his words!"
"The officials are just facilitators, so there is no need to worry about them. I will have a way to control them when the time comes. Now please send me a greeting card. In three days, I will come to visit Prince Wu Lie in person.
"Gu Chen casually explained that after choosing Liu Yan as the candidate for the new Pei King, he also had a new plan in mind.
Gu Chen's attitude was resolute. 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 do as he asked. Now there is no way out. They cannot give up the Chen clan as their backer!
Tang Xuance left to do things, and Gu Chen looked at the Queen Mother again and reminded: "Princes, I also hope that the Queen Mother can explain clearly. Chen does not want some relatives to hate 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 just forgot to mention one thing. The seventh prince has officially become my disciple."
There are some things that must be prepared in advance. Each prince has his or her own power in the court. If they do not accept the seventh prince's ascendance and cause trouble, or even do stupid things like helping foreign enemies, then the Pei King's family will really be in trouble.
.
Gu Chen deliberately revealed that he had accepted a disciple in order to clarify his position and dispel the unnecessary thoughts of the Queen Mother and other members of the royal family.
Although the Queen Mother ignored the government affairs, she could still hear the meaning of Gu Chen's words and nodded seriously. "Mr. Chen, please rest assured that I will strictly restrain all the princes. At this juncture, no one will be allowed to be fooled by lard."
Now that I have made up my mind, I will leave it to Mr. Chen, I believe in Mr. Chen!"
The Queen Mother was still worried about Gu Chen's choice, but at this time she could only choose one path until it was dark.
The Queen Mother also left, and Gu Chen returned to his temporary residence in the palace.
Considering his status and his current significance to Pei State, the Queen Mother placed him in Luoshui Palace.
This Luoshui Palace is not a simple one. It is the exclusive residence of Luo Men in King Pei's Palace. It is never open to outsiders on weekdays.
Throughout the ages, Luoshui Palace has housed many prophets of Luomen, even the great prophets of Luomen. It is an extremely sacred and noble place.
From this point, we can see the close relationship between Pei Wang's royal family and Luo Men. Unfortunately, in the face of a powerful enemy, Luo Men chose Xianyin, causing Pei Wang's royal family to 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 King Pei. Now that he has moved into Luoshui Palace, it is justifiable.
However, outsiders did not know his relationship with Luo Men. The Pei King royal family was really disappointed with Luo Men and valued his identity and background, so they specially opened the Luoshui Palace for him to stay.
Luoshui Palace occupies a large area, with five steps per bridge and ten steps per corridor, and is splendidly decorated.
Unfortunately, Gu Chen was not interested in the beautiful scenery at all. He went straight back to his room, quietly changed his clothes without attracting the attention of the guards, his face also 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 made an appointment to visit Prince Wulie in three days. The reason why he visited Prince Wulie three days later was because he wanted to spare some time and learn something about the Chen clan.
He is playing with fire by pretending to be the Chen Clan. Naturally, he needs to know more about the Chen Clan, otherwise the flaw will be exposed when others test him, and the truth will be discovered, and the game will not continue.
When he arrived at 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 box. Ye Mi took off her bamboo hat and veil, revealing her stunningly pretty face. She glared at Gu Chen fiercely with her beautiful eyes. "You still dare to come here? Do you know how much you have cost Wuwang Pavilion?"
A business deal?”
The identity of the Tang family priest who prevented the assassination of Taohua layman was unclear to others, but Ye Mi, the boss, knew it well.
When the news of the failed assassination attempt by Taohua layman came back to Wuwang Pavilion, Ye Mi was shocked and couldn't believe it.
She knew that the man in front of her was very powerful, but she never thought that even a national war-level killer couldn't do anything to him!
You must know that she had sworn in front of Gu Chen that once a national war-level killer took action, Gu Chen would never be able to protect Tang Xuance, but in the end, she was severely slapped in the face.
What happened next shocked her even more. After Taohua layman met with the master of the pavilion in the world of wandering spirits to explain 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 illustrates one problem, that is, the price required to assassinate Tang Xuance far exceeded the reward Wuwang Pavilion could get!
She didn't expect that the person in front of her could force Wuwang Pavilion to give up the 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 deal compare to the benefits brought by such a powerful killer like me?" Gu Chenyun replied calmly.
"Hmph, you are so confident." Ye Mi said dissatisfied, but was unable to refute Gu Chen's words.
