Chapter 246: Masquerade
Time back to Cheng Meng's sudden death, when Cheng Kai was in danger, the news of Cheng Meng's death spread to the east, Qin Xiaoyang was discussing with Gu Yun, and when he heard the words, he couldn't believe it, Cheng Meng's body has always been very good, why did he suddenly not work? There must be a human factor in this matter, fortunately, it is Cheng Kai who is on the throne, not the eldest prince supported by the Gu family, nor the second prince supported by the Chen family, otherwise, Qin Xiaoyang's situation will definitely be very bad, even Yi Ya who is trapped in the palace is not spared, even if she is already the queen, she still can't escape the fate of being persecuted.
But Cheng Kai's background is too low, and he doesn't have a strong family to rely on like the eldest prince and the second prince, even if he sits on the throne, it is not stable. Fortunately, Cheng Meng expressed his last wish very clearly before his death, saying that he would pass the throne to Cheng Kai, and there were old ministers such as Gu Zheyang as witnesses, and Cheng Kai's legitimacy was beyond doubt.
And Yi Ya's actions were also expected by Qin Xiaoyang, no matter how Cheng Meng died, he was already dead, and Yi Ya had to choose a new one to rely on, then, the new emperor Cheng Kai, whose biological mother was not of high status and had already lost his mother, was her best choice. Even if Cheng Kai is a pig and eats a tiger, or has a hidden poisonous heart, it is better than letting Yi Ya live by looking at the face of the eldest prince or the second prince, so Yi Ya recognized Cheng Kai as her son. Cheng Kai needs an identity as a descendant, and Yiya needs a new reliance, and the two are mutually beneficial and have common interests.
"It's not just a common interest, getting close to the queen is equivalent to having a strong person as a backing, Your Majesty is not stupid, and naturally knows how to choose." Some people talked about it, and the strong man in his mouth was of course Qin Xiaoyang.
Qin Xiaoyang is the one who can escape unscathed from the hands of the Pirate King, his strength is unpredictable, and he has the appreciation of the dragon gold mecha, and the future is limitless. Qin Xiaoyang has an indifferent attitude towards this, anyway, Cheng Meng is dead, she also needs to find a new partner to work with, in this case, why can't it be Cheng Kai? As long as it is not the crown prince supported by the Chen family, she will not have much opinion on the people sitting on the dragon chair. If Cheng Kai is a good emperor, it is a great luck and a blessing for Mo Xing.
"Grandpa is supporting His Majesty." In the dead of night, Gu Yun lay on his side on the bed, looked at Qin Xiaoyang, and said softly. The "Your Majesty" he said in his mouth is not Cheng Meng, but Cheng Kai, Cheng Meng's funeral will be held soon, Cheng Kai's enthronement ceremony is also soon, although the transfer of imperial power is a little sudden, but because of Cheng Meng's clear instructions, there is also a lot less unnecessary trouble, the speed of everyone to change their words is relatively fast, Cheng Meng is dead, they need to be loyal in the future, the emperor who needs to rely on is Cheng Kai, and it is better to cultivate respect quickly in private.
"The ancient general can only choose to support His Majesty, after all, he is the most trusted minister of the previous emperor, and he has also witnessed the process of leaving the will of the former emperor, which is equivalent to the minister of Tuogu, how can he disobey the will of the first emperor?" Qin Xiaoyang also turned sideways, looking at Gu Yun's gaze, there was no trace of emotion in his voice, and he didn't seem to be sad about Cheng Meng's passing.
Gu Yun looked at Qin Xiaoyang, there were too many things he wanted to ask, but he didn't know where to start, for a while, he had to sigh lightly, and when Qin Xiaoyang thought that the conversation was over, Gu Yun suddenly said, "Who are you?" ”
Qin Xiaoyang chuckled, "What are you talking about?" Don't you know who I am? ”
When the words fell, Qin Xiaoyang closed his eyes, he had to train the next day, but he didn't have time to talk to Gu Yun about this.
"I really don't know about that." Gu Yun smiled bitterly in his heart, he wanted to ask Qin Xiaoyang's true identity, whether he was Wei Ya, a descendant of the Xin family, or a woman from another background, why he was so indifferent to Cheng Meng's death, Cheng Meng took good care of her before his death, is this indifference due to the hatred of the destruction of the Xin family, is it? Gu Yun looked at Qin Xiaoyang's face, struggled for a long time, and also fell asleep, the situation was still unstable, and it was not time to spread everything out.
When Cheng Meng is buried, Cheng Kai officially wears the crown and sits on the throne, can he ask the questions in his heart, because only at that time will he not hurt Qin Xiaoyang if he opens these questions. Cheng Kai is the new emperor, he is weak, he needs to rely on the strength of old families such as the Gu family, and he needs talents like Qin Xiaoyang, and the affairs of the Xin family can be properly solved in his hands, which is more beneficial to him, which first captures the heart of the military department.
As for the Chen family and the Gu family, they will not give up, and they will definitely snatch the imperial power, but it is okay if they don't rob, if they dare to rob, they will become the target of the public, Cheng Kai is a righteous emperor, the people's hearts are returned, who dares to shake it? But Gu Yun still underestimated the madness of the Chen family and the Gu family, they even ignored Cheng Kai and fought openly, just to put the prince they supported on the throne, the imperial city was in chaos, and there was news every day that I didn't know whether it was true or not.
"What are you going to do?" After the training, Qin Xiaoyang found that Gu Yun's expression was wrong, and followed him back to the dormitory, but found that he was packing up his things, and couldn't help frowning. Gu Yun stopped moving, "Go back to Jincheng and stay with your grandfather." ”
"Don't go." Qin Xiaoyang walked over and broke up the small burden that Gu Yun had packed up, and when Gu Yun looked at her with doubts, he said: "The situation is unknown, don't put your eggs in the same basket, if Jincheng is fine, you stay here just right, if Jincheng changes, you are here, it is even more appropriate, you don't want the Gu family to break off the inheritance, right?" My sister is still staying in Jincheng, and I haven't moved, why do you think I'm staying here? ”
Gu Yun thought about it, but he still didn't feel at ease, "The situation in Jincheng is getting more and more chaotic, people are uneasy, the Chen family has completely torn off the mask, the purpose is strong, they will not stop if they don't put the second prince on the throne, grandpa is upright, where can I stop the jackal's tricks, I really don't worry, even if I can't do anything, I want to accompany him." ”
Qin Xiaoyang didn't stop Gu Yun anymore, the situation changed too quickly, no one knew what would become of this matter in the end, the Chen family was already shameless, and they were so eager to seize the imperial power, first, they were unwilling to let the throne fall into the hands of Cheng Kai, who was usually inconspicuous, and second, they were weak-hearted, Cheng Meng's death must have something to do with them, and if they didn't want to sit still, they could only give it a go, and the Chen family was likely to go to extremes and make the entire Moxing chaotic.
Aside from the Chen and Gu families, the other forces also have different thoughts, and it can be seen from the actions of the various military regions that have not yet been able to shrink down, and everyone is watching and seeing, trying to fish in troubled waters and strive to maximize the interests of their own camp.
