Chapter 655: Foreshadowing
Gu Xiqian was very satisfied with the minister's answer, as the saying goes, raise soldiers for a thousand days, and use soldiers for a while. When cultivating this group of people, Gu Xiqian was only in case of emergency. Of course, the best situation is that you won't need this group of people in your life, but it's a pity that Gu Ronghe disappointed herself.
Now hearing that these people he cultivated at the beginning never forgot to be loyal to him, Gu Xiqian didn't know whether to feel sad or happy. One thing is for sure, they need themselves as well as they need them.
It seems that what Gu Ronghe is doing now has aroused public indignation, including the ministers of the DPRK and the central government, who can no longer stand it. Even if he didn't do it this time, Gu Rong and this emperor wouldn't be able to do it for too long.
"It's true, now we have to be cautious in our actions, not daring to be looked down upon by those who have a heart, for fear that it will endanger ourselves. But now that you're back, princess, and you're in charge for us, we don't have to worry. β
When this matter was mentioned, the minister hated it with itching teeth. Obviously, they are the Nanyue Kingdom, and now it seems that they have been occupied by the Lanling Kingdom, and the soldiers of the Lanling Kingdom can be seen everywhere, including those who enter the palace, and they will still see the existence of the Lanling people.
"I see, since that's the case, we need to be careful before we do it, and we can't let them be on guard. You quietly send someone to inform the others, and I will discuss with you again, what should be done? β
Gu Xiqian's heart sank, although she had already guessed that it would be like this. It's just that when I really hear it in my ears, I still feel that it's not a taste in my heart. This is why his former country is so humble now.
After receiving Gu Xiqian's instructions, the minister did not dare to be slack, and immediately went to do things according to Gu Xiqian's instructions.
"Princess, the minister has informed each of them. There are too many people in the market during the day, and it is likely to attract the attention of others. So without consulting you in advance, I took it upon myself to let them gather here at night, and please don't blame them. β
The minister soon came back after finishing things, and reported to Gu Xiqian respectfully.
"You're doing a great job, why should I blame you. By the way, have these people you notified have done any research beforehand? Sometimes, not everyone is trustworthy, and it's better to be careful. β
Gu Xiqian nodded, this minister is still more upright. Suddenly, thinking of something, Gu Xiqian's heart tightened. Even Gu Rong and people like that are not worthy of trust, let alone other people.
Before that, she had forgotten to ask. These people don't use it for a long time, who knows if they will change their minds. In addition, the current situation is special, and a little bit of a mistake will not only expose the matter, but also more likely to lose your life, and the consequences will be unimaginable.
"Princess, don't worry about that. Among these people you arranged, I, as the leader, will naturally keep an eye on the movements of these people. To tell you the truth, we've had several meetings before you come back, and we already have the idea of coming back. β
The minister smiled slightly, as if to say that Gu Xiqian's worries were completely unnecessary. This time the matter was tantamount to his single-handedness, and he didn't need to be reminded by Gu Xiqian at all, and he didn't dare to take this risk.
Gu Xiqian was very satisfied with this answer, and her heart was a little relaxed. Time flies, and soon night falls, and there is silence all around.
But in this courtyard, which looks unusual from the outside or from the inside, everyone inside is very heavy. Because what they discussed was related to the safety of several countries and their people.
"According to your intentions, princess, let's unite to abolish Gu Ronghe, and then support Gu Hui to become the emperor? Wouldn't this be inappropriate, after all, Gu Hui is still young, and his special identity is special, I'm afraid it's not suitable......"
After Gu Xiqian put forward her idea, the others looked at each other with hesitation on their faces. In their hearts, they hope that Gu Xiqian can become emperor again, and they only trust Gu Xiqian.
Now that Gu Xiqian proposed to make Gu Hui the emperor, they all felt unbelievable. Gu Hui's identity has always been embarrassing, and many people feel that it is inappropriate for a child of the emperor of the former dynasty to stay in the palace safe and sound. But whether it is Gu Xiqian or Gu Ronghe, they both choose to do this, and they have no position to question it.
"I know the concerns in your hearts, but have you ever thought about what others will think of me if I become this emperor? They will only think that I hurt Gu Ronghe, so they want to be the emperor, I am afraid that when the time comes, there will still be many people who will not believe me. So I think Gu Hui is the most suitable candidate. Age is not an issue, I think he has the ability! β
Gu Xiqian pursed her lips, the reaction of these people was the same as when she heard Mo Xuanyin say that Gu Hui should be the emperor. The best way to say it is to use Mo Xuanyin's words to persuade him to explain to them, the group of people he has cultivated are not stupid people, and I believe it is easy to understand.
"This ...... Since the princess has already decided so, we should believe in the princess. What's more, if the princess dares to make such an arrangement, she will definitely be prepared for future risks. β
After hesitating, they could only agree with Gu Xiqian's proposal. These people have always listened to Gu Xiqian, and it is not an exaggeration to say that Gu Xiqian's words are regarded as holy decrees. The most important thing is that they believe that Gu Xiqian, no matter what happens in the future, Gu Xiqian will definitely have a way to deal with it.
The minister's words made Gu Xiqian a little crying and laughing, if it weren't for the courage Mo Xuanyin gave her, she really wouldn't dare to take this risk. But how everyone believes in her, it is also her honor.
"You haven't let Gu Hui take the position yet, and you are already sure that it won't go well in the future. Wouldn't that be a bit inappropriate? But it's good to take precautions, since we can pull Gu Ronghe down today, we must not be afraid of what Gu Hui will do in the future. β
Even though I think so, I still have to have the attitude that I should take out. If you don't give them confidence at this time, how can they follow them to complete this with confidence.
Sure enough, after Gu Xiqian said this, these people were obviously relieved.
"Since that's the case, do we still have to talk to Gu Hui in advance? Otherwise, wouldn't it be of little use that we are discussing here in full swing, and he doesn't know anything there? β
Gu Xiqian's words seemed to give them a reassurance, and they no longer had any entanglement about Gu Hui being the emperor. I just feel that before I do it, I should talk to Gu Hui about it, which can save a lot of things.
"It's natural, you all think he's too young to take on big responsibilities. I'll show you if he has the ability. Since he is the last person on top, he must have a sense of participation. Can't we do everything well, he will reap the benefits of the fisherman! β
Gu Xiqian nodded, she had already had such an idea. It's just that everything has a sequence, and now that we have discussed it with them, it's time to contact Gu Hui.
With her previous experience and speculation, Gu Xiqian felt that if she really contacted Gu Hui, things would go much smoother than she imagined.
"Did you really decide that? Obviously I treated you like that before, and you don't blame me at all? I thought...... You're going to get mad at me because of it and stop caring about me. β
Gu Xiqian secretly asked Gu Hui to come out, and after Gu Hui heard Gu Xiqian's plan, the whole person was stunned. He didn't expect Gu Xiqian to call him out to talk about this matter, and it sounded like he was already sure that this was something Gu Xiqian had thought about a long time ago.
In fact, Gu Hui was still a little hesitant when he learned that Gu Xiqian asked him out. Since the last time he poisoned Gu Xiqian, it can be clearly felt that Gu Xiqian no longer trusts him and is no longer close to him.
So Gu Xiqian suddenly asked him out, and Gu Hui hesitated. He didn't know what Gu Xiqian was going to do, and he didn't even dare.
"You think too much, I forgave you a long time ago. After all, you are still young, and it is normal for you to easily trust other people's words, and I am already very satisfied if you can correct your mistakes. So this time I made such a decision, you don't have any worries, just do your best to cooperate with me! β
Gu Xiqian felt bitter in her heart, Gu Hui's worry was not unreasonable. Gu Xiqian does still have pimples, although she can pretend not to care on the surface, but she also knows very well that between her and Gu Hui, there is no way back to the past......
It's just that now in order to make Gu Hui feel at ease, she can only say this. Although maybe one day Gu Xiqian may forgive Gu Hui, at least not now.
"I will, and I won't let you down again. If you have any ideas, you can just mention them to me, and I will do my best to cooperate with you. Indeed, as you said, I am still young, but my mind is no longer naΓ―ve. I know my situation very well, and since I have no one to rely on, I have to rely on myself. So I tried my best to make friends with some people in the court to make myself stronger! β
Gu Hui nodded heavily, looking at Gu Xiqian's eyes very sincerely. Even in order to make Gu Xiqian believe in himself, Gu Hui bluntly said that in order to make himself stronger, he had been slowly contacting the people in the court for a long time, so as not to make himself helpless.
"I'm glad you have this kind of awareness. I didn't think about your young age from the beginning, and you shouldn't have any concerns about that, let alone what others think, just trust yourself! β
After Gu Hui said that, Gu Xiqian was a little dumbfounded in her heart. But he still controlled himself and didn't show it, although he had already found that Gu Hui was thinking deeply, and now when he really faced it, he shuddered.
Maybe Mo Xuanyin is right, the more people like Gu Hui are, the more suitable they are to be emperors!
