Since the matter of Maitreya Sect has been dealt with by the imperial court, it will not affect Gu Cheng, so naturally he doesn't need to worry about it.However, Gu Cheng was still thinking, thinking about what he could do with this matter.Opportunities don't fall from the sky, but they are won by themselves.If you don't fight for it yourself, even if the opportunity is in front of you, it's useless.At present, this matter gave Gu Cheng a bold idea, that is, to use this matter to pit the third prince!
When he first entered the capital, Gu Cheng never thought of participating in the battle for succession.But who wanted to think that because of Gu Yuanzhong's family, he had to participate in it, and finally completely turned his face with the third prince.Gu Yuanzhong's family couldn't wait for Gu Cheng to die, and Gu Cheng refused the invitation of the third prince, and the two sides were already completely dead.Moreover, the three princes had arranged to trap him before, which almost ruined Gu Cheng's future.The clay man also has three points of anger, Gu Cheng has never taken the initiative to be the enemy of the third prince since he stepped into the capital, but the other party is pressing step by step, he Li Xiaoxuan really thinks that he is a good person?
And what about the prince?
These princes seem to have amazing real power, but in fact, if they are not princes for a day, they are all frightened birds, and they will not be able to live in peace for a day.Even if you become the crown prince, as long as the old emperor does not die, you will not be able to sit in this position.Gu Cheng can still go to the rivers and lakes to fight without the powerful position of Jingye Division, but if these princes fail in the struggle, the end will be very miserable, and it should be said that there is no end.After getting the right idea, Gu Cheng closed the door of the study after returning to the Jingye Division of the Eastern Regions, pondered for a while, and after straightening out the cause and effect relationship, he went straight to find the Nine Emperor Princes, Li Xiaozhun.Because Li Xiaozhun was not crowned king, he didn't even have his own palace, and when he was in the capital, he lived in a big mansion that he bought.When they were separated before, Li Xiaozhun told Gu Cheng that if there was anything Gu Cheng could come to him, he gave Gu Cheng the address here.When Gu Cheng just came over to Li Xiaozhun's house, he happened to see Li Xiaozhun just getting off the carriage and returning home.Compared with some time ago, Li Xiaozhun can be said to be a lot haggard during this time.He has cultivated in his body, but as a result, he has been overconsumed during this time, causing the breath of his body to be a little weak, and there are two heavy dark circles on his eyes, as if he has not rested for a long time.Seeing Gu Cheng coming, Li Xiaozhun was stunned for a moment, but then he squeezed out a smile and said, "Why does Master Gu have time to come today?"
These days, I have been busy helping the fourth brother to compete with the second prince for the position of the reciter of the sacrificial text, but I am busy before and after, but I can't take care of entertaining you, Lord Gu, please forgive me. ”Li Xiaozhun has always been very comfortable doing things, even if he doesn't explain so much to Gu Cheng at this time, it's okay, but saying a few more words makes him seem very sincere.Gu Cheng shook his head and said, "Your Highness is polite, I'm not a guest, where do I need to be entertained?"
Today, I came to His Highness to discuss the position of the person who read the memorial message, and I need His Highness to help me introduce the four princes. ”Hearing Gu Cheng say this, Li Xiaozhun's eyes suddenly showed a look of surprise.He knew Gu Cheng's identity, and naturally knew Gu Cheng's attitude.The battle for heaven is only a deal between the alliance and the four princes, and the four princes can get as much as they give.But now Gu Cheng actually took the initiative to ask to see the fourth prince, which was clearly his own decision, what did he want to do?
Do you want to take refuge with the Four Princes?"
Master Gu, do you want to go to see the fourth brother for?"
Gu Cheng said in a deep voice: "I am sure that the fourth prince will become the biggest beneficiary of this ancestor worship ceremony!"
”Li Xiaozhun slammed it, he has been busy with this matter all this time, but there has been no result until now, and even his side is slightly behind, but Gu Cheng said that he has a way.Even if Li Xiaozhun always knew that Gu Cheng was very capable, he couldn't help but doubt it in his heart at this time."
Master Gu, you can't talk nonsense about this kind of thing, the fourth brother is different from me, you can say some jokes casually with me, but you can't say anything to the fourth brother."
Li Xiaozhun said with a solemn expression.Gu Cheng shook his head and said, "I've never liked to joke, I've been in the capital for so long, if I don't have absolute certainty, how can I ask to see the fourth prince at such a time?"
”Li Xiaozhun glanced at Gu Cheng deeply, pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll take you to see the fourth brother." ”If there is anyone in the capital who knows Gu Cheng best now, it must be the Nine Emperor Prince Li Xiaozhun in front of him.He had been to Nanzhi County, knew what Gu Cheng had done in Nanzhi County, knew Gu Cheng's prestige in Nanzhi County, and finally Gu Cheng overthrew Xie Anzhi in a short period of time, and then he was transferred to the capital.It can be said that most people in the capital now look down on Gu Cheng, even Gu Cheng's top boss Fang Hatshui.People who have never been to Nanzhi County will not know what Gu Cheng relied on to lay the foundation in Nanzhi County with the strength of the six products, and laid a foundation in the kind of area where there is no imperial court, the forces in the rivers and lakes are chaotic, and the cults and chaotic parties are rampant.When these people in the capital were still intriguing, Gu Cheng had already set off a huge wave in a complex place like Nanling County.It can be said that Gu Cheng is actually very low-key in the capital at the moment, because there are too many people in charge of it, which actually restricts Gu Cheng to a certain extent.Li Xiaozhun understands Gu Cheng, and since Gu Cheng is not joking now, then he is afraid that he will really have a certain degree of certainty to say these things.The fourth prince, Li Xiaowu, has been named King Yong, so he naturally has a palace in the capital.Because Gu Cheng's identity was sensitive, Li Xiaozhun directly took Gu Cheng into his carriage and entered King Yong's mansion through the back door.Seeing the fourth prince for the first time, Gu Cheng understood why the fourth prince was able to make Li Xiaozhun follow him willingly, and he could also let the Zhengtian Alliance cooperate with him, and even compete with the second prince as a latecomer.Li Xiaowu's appearance is similar to Li Xiaozhun by three points, but he has seven more points of masculinity and heroism, and his temperament is deep and introverted, but he has a hint of sharpness, but he has a bit of a kingly bearing.Even Gu Cheng could faintly perceive that the strength of the fourth prince in front of him was not weak, I was afraid that it was not lower than the sixth grade.Daqian established the country with martial arts, so as long as the prince is not too talented, he is also cultivated, although cultivation is not so important to them.But with Li Xiaowu's age, plus he still has to spend a lot of time intriguing with other princes, even if he is not short of cultivation resources because he is a member of the royal family, but his current cultivation is enough to prove that his talent is excellent.Seeing Gu Cheng coming at this time, Li Xiaowu suddenly laughed and said, "Lord Gu has been in the capital for so long, and the king has not had time to entertain him, so please don't be surprised by Lord Gu's neglect." ”Li Xiaowu is of course a kind word, and he really has no need to entertain Gu Cheng, because although Gu Cheng has done things for him, he is not his confidant.If Gu Cheng took the initiative to join him, he would naturally be welcome, but Gu Cheng was a person who fought for the Heavenly Alliance, and the relationship between the two sides was just a transaction, so he naturally didn't have to be so concerned.To be realistic, it is because Gu Cheng's status and strength are not enough.If Yu Yuanhai, Qiu Erniang, the core of the Heaven Fighting Alliance, and the grandmaster-level figures came, Li Xiaowu would definitely have to be politely entertained, but for Gu Cheng, this was naturally not necessary.Gu Cheng arched his hand and said: "Your Highness is polite, I believe that the Nine Emperors have already told His Highness about my intention this time, right?"
”Seeing Gu Cheng go straight in directly, Li Xiaowu sat up straight and said in a deep voice: "The ninth brother told me.Master Gu, with all due respect, if the seven members of the Heaven Fighting Alliance come to me and say these words today, I will believe it, but if you come to tell me, I will not believe it.You are only a commander of the Eastern Regions, and all you can influence is only a corner of the Eastern Regions, and you are afraid that you will not be able to interfere in the situation of the entire capital. ”Gu Cheng shook his head lightly and said, "Don't say that I can't interfere in the situation in the capital, I'm afraid that even Your Highness can't interfere now."
However, although we can't change the situation, we can take advantage of the situation, and if Your Highness believes me, I am ninety percent sure that you can win, Your Highness. ”"How can you make me believe you?"
Gu Cheng squinted his eyes and said in a deep voice: "As long as His Royal Highness takes the initiative to give up the position of reading the sacrificial text, let it be given to the second prince, and then let the second prince suppress the third prince with you at the price, it is enough to take the position of the back!"
”As soon as these words came out, the entire room was suddenly silent, and the Four Princes and the Nine Princes were stunned.At this time, Li Xiaozhun even regretted it a little, if he knew that Gu Cheng would say such a thing, he should have asked Gu Cheng what his plan was first.At this time, Li Xiaowu was silent for a while, but suddenly said: "If I didn't know that you are a person from the Heavenly Alliance, and you have cooperated with this king, and overturned Xie Anzhi, who took refuge in the second child, I really suspect that you are an undercover agent sent by the second child." ”Gu Cheng smiled and said: "Your Highness, please listen to what I have to say, sometimes there is something to give, if you don't give up something, you won't get what you want."
It's like playing chess, so why not let him have a son?
Looking at the big picture, it is not yet known who will win and who will lose. ”Li Xiaowu said in a deep voice: "Then you can tell me, why do I want to give up this position to the second child?"
Do you know how long I fought him and how much strength I consumed?
”At this time, Li Xiaowu's complexion was already a little unkind, but he was very deep in the city and did not show it directly.After all, he had such a fight with the second prince, and what he paid was too much.As a result, now that Gu Cheng is coming, he wants to let him give up the competition and give up, and he has already cultivated himself without turning his face.
