Chapter 530: Succession and Rebellion


In fact, Gu Cheng has not dealt with Li Xiaowu a few times, he just feels that Li Xiaowu has ambitions and means, but he has a little bit of imperial qualifications.But these are not important, the important thing is that the Zhengtian Alliance has decided to help Li Xiaowu, and the Zhengtian Alliance has been laying out for so many years, and there is no chance to regret it.In fact, when the Fighting Heaven Alliance chose to help Li Xiaowu, Gu Cheng had already guessed the reason.The prince naturally doesn't need to help, the second prince's mother family is strong, and he still has a relationship with the military, so naturally he doesn't need to help.Although the mother clan did not have much help on the third prince's side, he found Baiyunguan and other forces in the rivers and lakes by himself.So in this way, there is only one fourth prince Li Xiaowu that the Heavens Alliance can choose.As for those princes under Li Xiaowu, they didn't think about it at all, because they were too young and hadn't stepped onto the stage to win the heir.Now Gu Cheng is following the choice of the Heaven Fighting Alliance, and since the Heaven Fighting Alliance has made a choice, Gu Cheng naturally has no choice.So no matter what Li Xiaoming said or what promises he made, Gu Cheng just handed over a glass of wine and smiled: "The second prince said that it was funny, I, Gu Cheng, am the supervisor of the Jingye Division, and the Jingye Division does not participate in the battle for the throne, but is only loyal to Daqian, who is the emperor of Daqian, I will be loyal to whom." ”Li Xiaoming looked at Gu Cheng with deep eyes, and said in a deep voice: "What if this king wants to make you loyal to me now?"

”"Forgive me."

Li Xiaoming suddenly laughed and said, "Forgive me?"

But Lord Gu, do you know that although as the Emperor of Daqian, he can't decide on the position of a high-ranking official like a commander with a word, but if the emperor doesn't want a person to become a commander, will the Metropolitan Governor disobey the emperor's order for that person?

Master Gu, I'm not threatening, I'm stating a fact.There are so many people who are willing to follow me, but there are only so many positions in the top ranks, so why don't I leave the positions to them and leave them to others?

Master Gu, there are still seven days to go, and if you figure out these seven days, you can come to this king at any time. ”After finishing speaking, Li Xiaoming left calmly, Gu Cheng drank a glass of wine and shook his head gently.How come the people of the Daqian Li family are so virtuous?

Where does this inexplicable sense of superiority come from?

They all seem to be a little overconfident.Li Xiaoming seems to be domineering, but he is actually stingy.What he has in mind is still the Li family's royal family, not the entire Daqian.Li Yuangong is undoubtedly stronger than Li Xiaoming in this regard, and Li Yuangong finally sat on the throne after a series of killings.It's just that after becoming the emperor, Li Yuangong did not purge the henchmen left by the previous prince.The previous princes are all dead, who else can they turn to?

Leave them alive, they will be more able to die for themselves, anyway, they are all the courtiers of the great cadres.It's just that Li Xiaoming still can't see through this, in his opinion, the people who listen to his own words are his courtiers.Determining the interests of the entire cadre based on one's own likes and dislikes will force away a large number of strong people.Returning to the temporary residence of the Heaven Fighting Alliance, Gu Cheng told the leader of the Heaven Fighting Alliance about Yin Hongkite.The leader of the Heaven Fighting Alliance said in a deep voice directly: "Don't worry about it, Ye Wuzhao is not here, and the number of people Yin Hongkite can command is limited, and he can't set off any storms."

The Jingye Division is also not as good as the next generation, people everywhere have changed their minds, even the headquarters of the Jingye Division in the capital is like this, everyone is in charge of their own one-third of an acre, and they will only seek stability, who would dare to take risks?

Ye Wuzhao is not suitable to be the governor of the capital, he is only suitable to be a general, and he can rush and kill in the battle array, but he does not have the ability to manage the entire Jingye Division.But the sad thing is that he is still the strongest person in the Jingye Division, even stronger than the previous generation of governors, no one dares to disobey him, no one dares to tell him the truth, even if his order is wrong, no one dares to refute it.When you don't hear a word of truth from the mouth of the people around you, that's the saddest thing. ”Gu Cheng nodded, and at the same time, a strange color appeared in his eyes.The leader of the Heaven Fighting Alliance seems to know the Daqian royal family very well, and he also knows the Jingye Division very well.Seven days later came the day of the canonization of the crown prince, and it was much more peaceful.Because of Li Yuangong's harmony, the people of the Daomen also knew Gu Cheng's status in the imperial court, but they didn't dare to continue to provoke him, and even the Xianqin Daomen had already given up preaching, but honestly gave Li Yuangong alchemy.The Taoist Gate is secretly intriguing with the Buddha Gate and playing some small actions.Gu Cheng gradually took control of the defense of the entire capital.Chu Youran was already considered to be his subordinate, and the other three domain commanders were also quite respectful to Gu Cheng and were willing to listen to his orders, which was not difficult for Gu Cheng.Now only Gu Cheng, the defense of the Imperial City, has not been able to get it, and of course Gu Cheng can't get it.Inside the Imperial City, only Long Xiangwei was qualified to handle it, and on the periphery, it relied on Shenwu Wei, as well as some masters under Chen Gongqing to patrol back and forth, and it was impossible for Gu Cheng to take over the defense of the Imperial City openly at this time.Seven days later, the crown prince was canonized, the capital was jubilant, and people from Taoism and Buddhism were also invited to the palace.Under the altar of heaven where the ceremony was held, the three leaders of the Daomen, the Xuanshui Zhenren of the Taiyi Gate, Li Yucheng, the master of the Baiyun Temple, and Zhao Dansheng of the Zhengyi faction all stood behind Li Xiaoming and expressed their attitudes.Seeing that Li Xiaoming was a little nervous, Xuanshui Zhenren said lightly: "Your Highness, don't be so nervous, Your Majesty's attitude has been clear, this crown prince position will definitely be yours this time." ”Li Xiaoming nodded, but he was also afraid of any accident when it came to the end.At this time, Li Xiaoming suddenly asked Qin Daoren: "Dao Chief, is it really useful for you to refine the immortal medicine for your father?"

Can you really extend the life of your father?

”Although Li Xiaoming also knew that this kind of thing was impossible, he was also afraid that the pill of the Immortal Qin Dao Sect was really effective, even if it was impossible to make Li Yuangong immortal, as long as he was allowed to sit on the throne for a few more years, there would not necessarily be any variables at that time.It's just that Li Xiaoming's words were asked by Qin Daoren, who was extremely embarrassed.His Immortal Qin Dao Sect is famous for refining immortal elixirs, although they are all disguises, thousands of years ago they relied on the power of a country and did not succeed, let alone now.But now that Li Xiaoming is asking this, what does he say?

Directly said that what I refined was a strong pill, but in fact it had no effect at all?

That's too much of a slap in the face.Therefore, Qin Daoren had to say vaguely: "It must be useful if it is useful, but there is a probability of such a thing as immortality, which is equivalent to fighting with the sky, so there will definitely be some accidents."

His Majesty's condition may not be so good at the moment, and even if he swallows the pill, there is a possibility of an accident. ”Hearing Qin Daoren say this, Li Xiaoming suddenly had a number in his heart.Lu Guanghao, who was at the Taixuan Dao Gate in the distance, saw this scene, but his eyes showed a touch of melancholy.Although the Dao Sect has the advantage at the moment, in fact, he doesn't want to see this happen.He still knows the truth that he is too late, once the Dao Gate is powerful, the imperial court will also feel threatened.Li Yuangong had already sensed this sign, so he gave the position of the national teacher to the Garan Temple.Now that Daomen has supported Li Xiaoming to take the throne, he will definitely be more arrogant and domineering in the future, once Li Xiaoming feels threatened, maybe Daomen will be greeted by more serious suppression in the future.At this time, Li Xiaowu was also extremely nervous, and even more nervous than Li Xiaoming.No matter how calm he is, he can't relax when it comes to this kind of key.Although his behavior is theoretically called taking the heir, in practice it is no different from rebellion.The emperor chose your second brother to be the crown prince, and you don't want to force it, isn't this a rebellion?

Now he can only pin all his hopes on the Heaven Fighting Alliance, hoping that the Heaven Fighting Alliance can help him get this position.At this time, on the periphery of the imperial city, Gu Cheng was leading his men to take over the city defense on the periphery of the imperial city.Guarding the gate outside the imperial city were some lieutenants of Shenwuwei, Gu Cheng walked over and patted one of the captains on the other side on the shoulder and said, "This brother, you can withdraw first, just go to guard outside the city." ”"I've seen Master Gu."

The captain knew Gu Cheng, after all, Gu Cheng had been in and out of the imperial city many times, and the fact that he had just returned from the southwest and was canonized as the chief envoy of supervision was known to the whole capital, and everyone knew that this Lord Gu had recently won Li Yuangong's trust.However, when he heard Gu Cheng say that he should let him leave, he was puzzled: "Today is the ceremony of canonizing the crown prince, and the general told us to strengthen the inspection, how could he let us withdraw?"

”Gu Cheng said lightly: "Let you withdraw, I will personally come to guard this area, and it is precisely because today is the crown prince's canonization ceremony that we must be more cautious."

The previous ancestor worship ceremony allowed the demon monks of the Maitreya Sect to mix in, and His Majesty's birthday was destroyed by those Jianghu people.What has become of my imperial city?

Sieve?

Who can come and go when they want to?

Therefore, this ceremony of canonizing the crown prince must be cautious and cautious.If you don't believe it, you can go inside and ask your general, which is ordered by His Majesty himself. ”Hearing Gu Cheng say this, the captain hurriedly said, "Don't blame Master Gu, I'll wait for this handover to change the guard." ”At this time, the canonization ceremony inside the imperial city has been prepared, where is he qualified to go in and ask?

Even if he dared to break in, he would offend Gu Cheng, and even his own boss.Anyway, in his opinion, Gu Cheng is a celebrity next to the emperor, and he is also a high-ranking official, so he should not endanger the big cadre.Besides, even if Gu Cheng really had bad intentions, would he still be qualified to resist as a lieutenant?

He just listened to the orders of the big people, so why bother to take them seriously?

Therefore, the captain directly left with a sharp change of guard, and the entrance to the city gate on this side fell directly into Gu Cheng's control.'

Ink Ghost' Ling Xia and Xie Xuan'an walked in from the outside world so calmly, and while they began to decorate, they were still a little incredulous.This is the imperial city of Daqian, and they came in so easily?
