After the small family banquet, the daughter and son-in-law said goodbye and went home.

The old lady is also over sixty years old, and she still thinks clearly, and her attitude has always been clear, and the position of the crown prince must not be moved, otherwise it will harm the interests of their allies.

Since Ye Guogong and Ye Guogong are in-laws, it shows that Ye Guogong is a staunch supporter of the inheritance of the Yan faction, if the crown prince is deposed and his family loses power, he will definitely lose his current status in the next political struggle.

The exploits of the ancestors who followed Emperor Taizu to fight the world must not be destroyed in the hands of their generation.

Gu Yun rushed back to his room for a lunch break, he knew that as the saint grew old, the battle for the crown prince's position would turn from a secret fight to an open fight, but it wasn't until lunch just now that he specifically understood how cruel and ruthless this battle would be.

If the current crown prince can ascend the throne smoothly, then his youngest son will be able to become the new crown prince in the future, and the tradition of succession by his son-in-law will be passed on from generation to generation, and the Yeguo Mansion will not have to face the problem of choosing a faction.

Gu Yun was lying on the bed tossing and turning and couldn't sleep, he suddenly remembered that Bai Ko had reminded himself not to just stare at the crown prince alone, in fact, all the princes were staring at that position, but at the moment the most powerful to compete with the eldest prince was the eldest prince, but in case the prince and the eldest prince were both defeated, who was the third person who was most likely to ascend the throne.

Any possibilities need to be considered before you know what to do next.

Thinking of this, Gu Yun couldn't sleep even more, so he simply sat up and lifted the bed tent, asked Miao'er to wait for dressing, and summoned Bai Ko to the study to talk.

Bai Ko was also taking a nap at that time, and when she was sleeping beautifully, she was called up by the little girl, and hurriedly packed up and rushed to the study, Qinglan saw her coming, so she withdrew with interest, and closed the door, so that the young master could not sleep at noon and discuss with Bai Ko must be very important.

Gu Yun was originally sitting on the Luohan couch drinking tea, and when Qinglan closed the door, he jumped up and pulled Bai Ko to transfer to the chaise longue in the inner room, or this small corner is suitable for the two of them to whisper.

In order to prepare for the New Year, Bai Qiao has been so busy these days that he can't see anyone, and it is rare to wait in front of him for a while, and it is only now that he finally has a chance to speak well, Gu Yun hugged people tightly and was unwilling to let go.

Bai Ko rolled his eyes in disgust, but because he couldn't break free of his strength, he had to admit to eating tofu.

"That's why you hurriedly called your servant over?"

"Sort of." Gu Yun smiled cheekily.

"If nothing else matters......"

"Who's to say no? Don't worry, I have to think about what to say. ”

"What's there to think about? Isn't it over just talking about the point? ”

"The point, okay, the point is that let's discuss who is the possible third person, right?"

"What?! What did you hear at the dinner table just now? ”

"Open and dark fighting, what else can there be, the dark fight may become a bright fight."

"Oh, no wonder you're looking for a third person, that one is quite old."

Bai Ko suddenly blessed his soul, if he made a meritorious contribution in the process of winning the throne, I don't know if the new emperor will be rewarded with an amnesty after he ascends the throne, and he will be free? !

Thinking of this possibility, Bai Ko finally became serious about the battle for the lord of the East Palace.

Gu Yun saw Bai Ko stunned, and nodded the corner of her forehead, "What do you think?" Got an idea? ”

"Nope. The servant didn't recognize anyone, and he had no idea to think of. ”

"What then? I am now the son of the world, and I am also the target of various forces. ”

"Chill salad, anyway, you have a reason to participate in the Spring Festival, first study with your head bored, and pass the Jinshi, you can be regarded as worth the money, otherwise, the future Ye Guogong will only be a person for the rest of his life, and he can't even go on a serious career, who wants to win you over, do this stupid thing that wastes money and has no return."

"It's straightforward."

"The servant has this advantage, sincerity, not hypocrisy."

"Yes, yes, it's a great merit, don't change it."

"Well, don't change it."

"But......" Gu Yun has aspects of his worries.

"You're safe for the time being, but the eldest lord is on someone's list." Bai Ko knew what he was worried about, "You represent the future, but the big lord represents the present, kill the big master, and you will have no future." ”

Gu Yun happily kissed Bai Ko on the forehead, "Talking to you is to save strength." What are we going to do next? ”

"Do you still need to think about it? Of course, you know yourself and your opponent, others will make a list, don't you? Draw a list of forces, make a list of known forces, line up according to the size of the threat, and kill the ones that are at the top. ”

"It makes sense, make a list, and then you will be organized, okay, let's do it first."

"Also, investigate Gan Yuwen and his cousin who is going to marry the third lady, and look at the political tendencies of the two of them to know how they will stand in line in the future, if they are not in the camp represented by the eldest master, they have to find a way to mess up these two family affairs, and they can't let the second room be dragged into the water by them."

"It's a daunting task."

"Do you want to do it?" Bai Ko glanced at him flutteringly.

"Do! Of course you have to do it! A must do! We can't afford to make the slightest mistake and let others take advantage of it. ”

"Be secretive, don't let the second lady find out, otherwise she will definitely be able to swallow you alive."

"Do you still have to say that?" Gu Yun rubbed Bai Ko's head and kissed her on the forehead again.

"That's pretty much it for now, get the list out first, it's the top priority, and then you can collect information one by one according to the order of the list, and the maid will be responsible for making money, and there will be a lot of money to spend in the future."

"Yes, yes, I shouldn't have hesitated last year, I should have taken the money out to do business early, no matter how much I earned, no matter how small the mosquito was, it was a piece of meat."

"Fortunately, you didn't hesitate for too long, now the progress is smooth, and after the New Year, the main event is still to come."

"Hopeful?"

"I don't know."

"Don't do that, give me some hope."

"It depends on whether the maid can help you annex another workshop and move to Tianshui Fang to reopen."

"Got a plan?"

"You have to find the object of annexation, otherwise the plan will be completely wasted." Bai Ko rolled his eyes as he spoke, and his thoughts drifted for a while before returning.

"Don't worry, don't worry, the capital is so big, there must be a new workshop you want, and after the New Year, ask the guards to go out to help you find it, there are many of them, they are used to run errands, and they are a waste of talents in the house every day."

"With your words, the servant is not welcome."

"Just call them boldly and confidently, and if they have any opinions, tell me directly, if they hinder me from making money, their annual reward will only be to take the old practice of the public school."

"Okay, it's decided."

"It's settled."

Gu Yun kissed Bai Ko's forehead, and wanted to take advantage of the situation to overwhelm her and take a nap, but Bai Ko sensed his imminent move, and pretended not to know and pushed him away to stand on the ground.

"Continue to drink porridge tonight?"

"Drink porridge."

"Okay, go to the kitchenette and say something, you can rest."

After Bai Ko finished saluting, he turned around handsomely, his skirt was lightly raised, and his steps walked briskly.

The tender tofu ran away before he had eaten enough, Gu Yun sighed, and fell asleep on the chaise longue with his eyes closed.
