Chapter 275: Poison Scheme
Li Xiaoxuan was angry there, and the people below didn't dare to say anything.
The plan to use the corpse rotting tapir to create a riot and interrupt the ancestor worship ceremony was a plan they had prepared a long time ago, and it was also the plan that the three princes had prepared before, which had the fastest effect and the least consumption.
It's a pity that now with Gu Cheng's intervention, the corpse rotting tapir is dead, and the Zuo Dao evil cultivator is also dead, and even Jing Yesi's side has guessed his plan, this plan has completely failed.
At this time, Situ Xiao suddenly coughed and said, "Actually, Your Highness, don't worry, although our plan this time has failed, this is also a good thing." ”
Li Xiaoxuan frowned and said, "A good thing?"
Situ Xiao nodded and said: "We may be too optimistic about this plan, there are few things in the sky and earth that that guy bragged about his corpse rotten tapir before, but it turned out to be vulnerable, even Gu Cheng, a six-rank cultivator, can solve it."
When the time comes for the real ancestor worship ceremony, there are strong grandmasters of the Jingye Division on the periphery, and if we don't cause a riot at that time, we will be easily killed by others, and our plan will also fail at that time. ”
Li Xiaoxuan frowned and said, "By the way, and that Gu Cheng, is this guy destined to be the enemy of this king?
In fact, Li Xiaoxuan didn't pay much attention to Gu Cheng before, even if Gu Cheng abolished Liu Qingshan and had conflicts with the people under his command, he didn't face him directly.
At that time, Li Xiaoxuan had all his energy focused on competing for the spare position of reading the sacrificial text, how could he have time to take care of those intrigues in the mansion of the Marquis of Zhongyong?
To put it mildly, the status of Gu Yuanzhong's father and son in Li Xiaoxuan's heart is not so important.
Situ Xiao handed over the information in his hand to Li Xiaoxuan and said, "Your Highness, that Gu Cheng can be said to be the most eye-catching figure among the younger generation of Jingye Division recently, and it only took two years to go from a Xuanjia guard to the position of the commander of the Eastern Regions.
As far as I know, his becoming the commander of the Eastern Regions this time has a great relationship with the Four Princes, so even if he is not a confidant of the Four Princes, he must be regarded as a member of the Four Princes' lineage. ”
Li Xiaoxuan touched his chin and thought about it, and suddenly said, "I heard that this Gu Cheng is a member of the Gu family of the Loyal and Yong Marquis Mansion?"
Gu Yuanzhong hurriedly stood up and said, "Your Highness, that Gu Cheng is indeed the son of my eldest brother, but he has been extremely dissatisfied with my family since he was a child, so he left the Gu Mansion as soon as he became an adult."
And this Gu Cheng is indifferent, his six relatives don't recognize him, he is simply not a son of man, he has long denied me as an uncle, and he doesn't think that he is a person from the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion.
Although both of us have the surname Gu, we are no longer a family. ”
Gu Yuanzhong thought that Li Xiaoxuan was holding him accountable for the relationship between him and Gu Cheng, so he hurriedly stood up and cleared up.
When everyone present saw Gu Yuanzhong's appearance, even if they were all people under the command of the Third Prince, they couldn't help but show a sneer at this time.
This Gu Yuanzhong is inevitably too irresponsible, and the third prince has not started to blame, and you have begun to kill your relatives in righteousness?
The Zhongyong Marquis Mansion has been in decline for hundreds of years, and it is only now that it has begun to have a rising call, one has taken refuge in the three princes, and the other has become the commander of the Eastern Regions of the Jingye Division, which is not an ordinary position.
As a result, before it really rose, this started the infighting, which became a joke.
Li Xiaoxuan shook his head and said, "General Gu doesn't need to be so nervous, this king doesn't mean to blame you."
Although Gu Cheng has broken the king's plan, just like Mr. Situ said, the king's plan this time has loopholes, even if Gu Cheng doesn't destroy it, I'm afraid there will be an accident at that time.
This position of the commander of the Eastern Regions is a little interested, and this incident has also taught this king a lesson, that is, this king's strength in the imperial court, especially in the military and the Jingye Division, is too little and too passive.
Therefore, if we can recruit this Gu Cheng, it will be much easier for us to do things in the capital in the future.
No matter how Gu Cheng says, he is your nephew, and he can't write two Gu characters in one stroke, if General Gu can help this king recruit this Gu Cheng, this is also a great achievement. ”
Li Xiaoxuan's move is actually a bit unauthentic, after all, Gu Cheng destroyed the Xinnan Hou Mansion, and the Xinnan Hou Mansion is his third prince's loyal confidant.
As a result, Xinnanhou Guo Xing'an and his son have not been completely buried, so if you don't help them take revenge, you still have to recruit the murderer who killed them, and this heart is cold enough.
However, most of the people present did not show any doubts.
Except for some Jianghu people present, who are princes of the imperial court, they are all very realistic.
Who can go to the throne is not a cold-blooded and ruthless person? No matter how angry he is, he can keep his senses.
If Li Xiaoxuan is so angry that he wants to die or live today, he has to kill Gu Cheng, that is a sign of immaturity.
The interests of the living are always more important than the interests of the dead, so they can only grieve the father and son of Xinnanhou.
Seeing that the third prince was so optimistic about Gu Cheng, Gu Yuanzhong was a little panicked.
He saw Gu Cheng's strength, if he really recruited Gu Cheng to the third prince, then there would be no place for him!
So Gu Yuanzhong hurriedly said: "Your Highness, you must not!"
Gu Cheng's son is definitely not easy to match, he is not clear with the four princes, how can he agree to His Royal Highness's solicitation?
Besides, even if he agreed, His Highness would have to think about the feelings of the Jiangnan Shenxiao Thunderbolt Hall.
After all, it was the Divine Thunderbolt Hall who defected to Your Highness first, but as a result, the disciples of the Divine Thunderbolt Hall were abolished by that Gu Cheng, and you recruited that Gu Cheng to your side, how can the Divine Thunderbolt Hall deal with itself?"
The third prince smiled and said: "General Gu doesn't need to be so excited, this king is just saying a hypothesis, since there is so much trouble, then this matter will be put aside for the time being." ”
At this time, Gu Zheng suddenly said: "Your Highness, I have some opinions about the current situation. ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone present immediately turned their eyes to Gu Zheng.
Not because of anything else, but because Gu Zheng is too young, a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy, what do you know?
Wang Maoxing, who had been sitting beside Gu Zheng without saying a word, couldn't help but glance at the other party, and there was a hint of dissatisfaction in his eyes.
Gu Zheng is not only a person from the Gu family of the Loyal and Yong Marquis's Mansion, but also a person from his Baiyun Temple.
So before coming, Wang Maoxing had already instructed him, it was best not to say anything in front of the three princes, although Baiyunguan supported the three princes, but this support was weighty, not all brainless support.
"Gu Xiaodao, if you have something to say, please speak directly. ”
Gu Zheng bowed his hand and said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, the plan we prepared before is invalid, but Your Highness can also find a way to make the second prince and the fourth prince fight more fiercely and increase the losses of both sides."
If the loss is great, both will be defeated, and His Highness may seek a place to read the memorial message.
If the loss is small, there is no loss on His Highness's side, and now there are three people competing for two positions, in order to prevent the second prince and the fourth prince from competing with Your Highness for the position of substitute after someone loses, so it is necessary to weaken the strength of one person. ”
"Oh, who do you say you want to weaken?"
Li Xiaoxuan touched his chin, and there was a hint of thoughtfulness in his eyes.
Gu Zheng's worries are not unreasonable, in case these two people really fight with him after defeat, it is possible that he will not get anything in the end.
Gu Zheng said in a deep voice: "Of course it's the fourth prince!"
The power of the second prince in the military is deep-rooted, while the power in the hands of the fourth prince is somewhat secretive and slightly inferior.
And the point that weakens the power of the four princes is on that Gu Cheng's body!
Master Situ's information has said that Gu Cheng has a close relationship with the four princes, even if he is not a confidant, he must have a great connection.
In fact, as long as Gu Cheng is moved, he can indirectly contact the four princes.
Previously, Master Do'er Toutuo secretly recruited a lot of people from the rivers and lakes to pour into the capital, originally wanting to make the situation more chaotic, but at this time, the plan failed, and they could use it elsewhere.
As long as Master Du Tou Tuo can find a way to make these Jianghu people make trouble in the Eastern Regions, and don't make trouble to the point of alarming the headquarters of the Jingye Division, this is enough to make Gu Cheng anxious.
These are not big sins on weekdays, but they are extremely sensitive on the eve of the ancestor worship ceremony.
His Royal Highness can take this opportunity to sue the four princes, saying that he does not know people and wantonly interferes in the appointment and dismissal of the personnel of the Jingye Division, which leads to chaos in the Eastern Regions.
At that time, the four princes only had two choices, either to keep Gu Cheng and he might be punished, or to try his best to clear the connection between himself and Gu Cheng, and this kind of shirk would make his subordinates feel cold.
Both options are devastating. ”
Some of the people present looked at Gu Zheng with strange eyes, although this kid is not very old, his mind is poisonous.
Although he was obviously pit the fourth prince in this move, it was actually his brother Gu Cheng who was calculating.
This family is killing each other, and looking at this appearance, I can't wait for the other party to die immediately.
Li Xiaoxuan squinted his eyes and said, "The idea is good, but there are also some details that need to be worked out." ”
As he spoke, Li Xiaoxuan turned his gaze to Du Toutuo and said, "Do those people in the rivers and lakes know who brought them to the capital?
Wataru shook his head and said, "I don't know, I was a mission posted on the black market, so they don't even know about my existence."
They don't know about the plan of the corpse rotting tapir, the original plan was to lure these Jianghu people to the scene on the day of the ancestor worship ceremony, and then let them cause even more chaos after the corpse rotting tapir appeared.
So he didn't get the money before the mission started, and most of the people stayed in the inn honestly, after all, there were people from the Jingye Division outside.
If His Royal Highness is willing to come up with more bounties, it is still very simple to drive these people, of course, they can only make some small moves, and let them openly argue with Jing Yesi during the day, they will definitely not dare. ”
Gu Zheng hurriedly said: "You don't need to let them attack the Jingye Division, you just need to let them make a fuss, the troublesome Eastern Regions will not be peaceful, and under the backdrop of the other three domains, it will be even more incompetent and chaotic in the Eastern Regions, this is enough!"
