After receiving Anhua Jinxin, Gu Qingyan stopped drinking with Su Han in the pavilion.

Su Han was actually not happy to drink with the cold wind blowing every night, he happened to meet Gu Qingyan that day, he was indeed idle and depressed, so he ran to the pavilion to drink alone, and then drank for two days in a row, I didn't want to go, but Gu Qingyan couldn't sleep at night and asked him to drink every day, he could only accompany him, and he was about to forgive him after many days in a row.

Now that Gu Qingyan finally stopped looking for him to drink late at night, he was really relieved.

What made him even more relieved was that King Jing Chu Lan was relieved of the power of supervising the country, dismissed from all positions, and locked up in the mansion to think about it behind closed doors, now it's okay, Chu Lan doesn't have to stare at him as a demon.

However, he didn't plan to leave the Gu family for the time being, after all, for him, the current situation, it is better to hide for the time being, Chu Lan is just locked up now, and he is not dead, he still carefully talks about it for a few more days.

He told Gu Qingyan about his decision not to leave the Gu family for the time being, Gu Qingyan bowed his head, no opinion, let him live as long as he wanted.

After the emperor revealed the case of An Huajin killing Hua Ruyu, then Chu Lan fell into power, and after thinking about it behind closed doors, the fourth prince and the fifth prince re-clamped their tails and stopped jumping, Gu Qingyan returned to the court, and the capital seemed to have a new situation all of a sudden.

This tug-of-war between the emperor, the An family, and the Gu family for several months made everyone understand that whether it is the An family or the Gu family, the status that cannot be easily shaken.

At the same time, it also made everyone feel that the future position was none other than Chu Yan, the Seventh Highness.

After all, among the princes now, there are no more people who can compete with Chu Yan.

The old Nanyang King unexpectedly closed his door in a low-key manner, and the courtiers couldn't guess the thoughts of the old Nanyang King, so they could only focus on Chu Yan who came back from Wufeng Mountain.

Therefore, on this day, Chu Yan dealt with all the things in Wufeng Mountain, sealed the mountain gate of Wufeng Mountain, and on the day he returned to the city, he re-accepted the courtiers' new positioning of him.

In the past, Chu Yan was not liked by His Majesty, and there was a strong backer behind him, although he was a son-in-law, his status was not so stable, and he might be pulled off the horse by the princes one day, and now Chu Yan is equal to all the princes are not opponents, he is only one step away from the throne, I am afraid that it will not take long to canonize the prince of the East Palace.

Therefore, on the day he returned to the city, after entering the city and returning to the Seven Princes' Mansion, before he entered the palace to restore his will, he was approached by many courtiers to show his loyalty.

Chu Yan also saw no one, and he was not in a hurry to enter the palace, and he also ordered to close the door and thank the guests.

The courtiers couldn't help but think that they were worthy of having half of the blood of the Nanyang Palace's mansion in their bodies, and followed the old Nanyang King.

For Chu Yan to return home unharmed, the old Nanyang King was very happy and praised him, "Things are done well." ”

Chu Yan bowed deeply, "Thank you, grandfather." ”

His biological father helped Chu Lan to kill him, and his maternal grandfather sent all the secret guards of the Nanyang Royal Mansion to protect him. If there was no secret guard from the Nanyang Palace, it would be impossible for him to come back unscathed, and his people would probably be exhausted by the two groups of people sent by Chu Lan, the Fourth Prince, and the Fifth Prince.

Now, although his people have also broken a little, they have not been hit hard.

The old Nanyang King patted him on the shoulder, "You are a good boy, who am I not protecting?" No need to say thanks. ”

Chu Yan nodded and sat down.

The old king of Nanyang asked, "Huai'an is in the early court, and he specially asks for you to be rewarded, what do you think?" If Your Majesty wants to ask you what reward you want, you have to plan in advance. ”

Chu Yan pursed his lips, "I want my father to release my eldest brother." ”

The old Nanyang King was stunned.

Chu Yan said, "It's been three years, I've always wanted to do this, my cousin once told me that I wanted to do this, but I couldn't find a chance, but now I finally found an opportunity, I always have to try." ”

The old Nanyang King pondered for a moment and bowed his head, "Since that's the case, let's mention this!" ”

"It's been three years since the case of privately made weapons, and if I bring it up in the court, I don't know if he will agree or not." Chu Yan didn't have a sure grasp in his heart.

Old Nanyang Wang said, "If Your Majesty doesn't agree, what if you are asked to change the reward?" ”

"No."

The old king of Nanyang stroked his beard and said, "Since you have made up your mind, try it tomorrow, your majesty can bend and stretch very much." I will generally say yes. ”

Chu Yan shook his head.

The emperor asked Chu Yan to return to Beijing, intact, he did not let people pass the decree, but waited for Chu Yan to enter the palace, but he did not expect that he waited all night and did not wait for Chu Yan to enter the palace.

On the morning of the second day, the emperor's face was very bad.

As soon as he looked up, he swept around, but he didn't see Chu Yan's shadow, and frowned and asked, "What about the Seventh Prince?" Why didn't you come to the early dynasty? ”

The courtiers shook their heads, and Gonggong Zhang also shook his head.

The emperor commanded with a calm face, "Send someone to ask, what's the matter?" ”

Gonggong Zhang immediately sent a little eunuch to the Seven Princes' Mansion and met Chu Yan.

Chu Yan: "Oh? After a sigh, he looked at the little eunuch and said, "My father didn't explain my ban." ”

Little Eunuch: "......"

Yes, His Majesty did not issue an edict to explain the prohibition of the Seven Princes, and the Seven Princes naturally could not go to the early dynasty.

The little eunuch immediately went back to his life.

When the emperor heard this, he was also stunned, and then he remembered that it was true that he had not made an order, but now Chu Yan, is he still such an obedient person? If he doesn't let him out of the house, won't he go out of the house?

Before he could ponder, some of the courtiers played a book, asking His Majesty to issue an order to restore the Seventh Prince's position, lift his ban, and let him go to the early court.

One person came forward, and immediately afterward, there was a plea from more than half of the court.

Gu Qingyan stood still and didn't move, and Wang Anzhi didn't come to the early dynasty today.

The so-called general trend, but so, among today's princes, who else can be Chu Yan's opponent? It's not that he can't stop him from lifting the ban. The emperor was deeply aware that even if Chu Yan still followed his words, the courtiers would not do it, and now they are all moving closer to the Seventh Prince.

The emperor's face was not good-looking, but he still ordered, "Pass on my message, lift the ban of the Seven Princes, and let the Seven Princes come to the early court immediately." ”

"Yes!"

The little eunuch hurriedly went to deliver the decree again.

The emperor waved his hand and motioned for the early dynasty to continue.

Halfway through the morning court, Chu Yan came, he was still the same as before, not fat or thin, his face was indifferent and bland, and his eyes had no emotion, he came to the morning court and saluted the emperor usually.

The emperor looked at Chu Yan, his son is the best of all the sons, and he dislikes it the most, now, all of the people he likes are not angry, he is dead, he is declining, he is dethroned, and Chu Lan, who has his support the most, has also ended up dismissing all his duties and thinking about it behind closed doors, I am afraid that it will be difficult to turn over, after all, there is no one available in his hands, even if he fights with Chu Yan, it seems that he can't fight.

He didn't expect that on the day of the palace banquet, Chu Yan would oppose him and not follow his arrangement, in the past few months, he could endure it so peacefully, endure the cold market, and endure a huge gap. Of course, now he can also use Wufeng Mountain to quell the rebellion in one fell swoop, and without giving him a single soldier, he killed Chu Lan, the fourth prince, and the two groups of people who poured out of the nest, and came back intact.

If he hadn't been in the blood of half of the An family, he would have been his favorite son.

The Emperor waved his hand calmly, "Calm down!" ”

Chu Yan stood up.

The emperor asked him, "I heard that you have successfully resolved the matter of Wufeng Mountain?" ”

Chu Yan bowed, "The matter of Wufeng Mountain has been properly handled, and in accordance with the will of my father, Wufeng Mountain has been sealed." From now on, there will be no more Taoist priests of Wufeng Mountain and Wufeng Mountain in the world. ”

Some only have the dusty Wufeng Mountain and a group of Taoist priests who went to Nanyang.

The emperor nodded, none of the people he sent to Wufeng Mountain and Chu Lan to Wufeng Mountain came back, and the people sent by the fourth prince and the fifth prince to Wufeng Mountain came back, but he just said a word, and later he sent a few inner guards to Wufeng Mountain to inquire about the news, but he also didn't come back, so his son, how to say it now, he can only believe it like this.

After all, even his father, the emperor, has no way to probe his details now.

The emperor's face softened a little, and asked, "You have made great contributions to quelling the rebellion of Wufeng Mountain, what reward do you want?" ”

Chu Yan looked directly at the emperor, "Father, whatever reward your sons want, will you give it to your sons?" ”

This sentence can be said to be very rebellious, if it was before, the emperor would definitely let people drag Chu Yan out, but now, the situation is stronger than people, he can only endure it.

The courtiers gasped, and secretly thought that it was worthy of the Seventh Highness, and it was him, and when His Majesty asked him for a reward, he dared to speak to His Majesty like this.

However, he is also really strong now.

The emperor took a deep breath and stared at Chu Yan as well, "You say!" ”

He didn't believe it, he dared to say that he wanted this person to be above 10,000 people, and if he was allowed to abdicate in a grand manner, it would be a great dishonor. It will go down in history.

Everyone's eyes looked at Chu Yan, holding their breath and waiting for him to speak.

Chu Yan's tone was calm, "Erchen asks my father to release the eldest brother!" ”
