Chu Qianqiu was a little stunned when he heard this. Isn't this His Majesty a puppet?
This young emperor is about the same size as himself, only sixteen years old.
Even if he takes all the drugs and practices the best skills, he can reach the middle stage of Xiantian, but the later stages will be outrageous.
Of course it is very powerful in other places, but it is really not worth mentioning in Shangjing.
What's more, the Queen Mother listens behind the curtain, the Prime Minister controls the government, and the Duke presides over the army, so it's not his turn.
But Xu Guogong's tone didn't sound like he was lying. Could it be that this seemingly puppet-like majesty has any unknown secrets?
Chu Qianqiu thought for a moment. After all, he knew too little about the royal family, so he could only ask his maid.
"Tianyu, do you know what Xu Guogong said just now?"
"I don't know."
Tianyu paused and then mentioned a past event:
"But the relationship between His Majesty and the Crown Prince is very good."
"How good is it?" Chu Qianqiu asked.
"Some guards once started to gossip, saying that the prince has the destiny of the emperor and is a treasonous person. I advise your majesty to eradicate him in advance."
"As a result, His Majesty became angry for the first time in his life and directly ordered the guard to be executed and the whole family to be exiled."
"No one dared to speak of this matter from now on."
Oh, so strange?
Chu Qianqiu was still a little puzzled. Even if the young emperor was very sentimental, it was strange that the Queen Mother and the eldest princess could not mind the rumors that Prince Xu had an imperial destiny.
"His Majesty has always been the prince's brother. They used to drink together and go out on the streets."
"His Majesty confessed that he envied the Crown Prince very much and hoped to be as happy as the Crown Prince in his next life."
Tianyu, as Xu Shian's personal maid and a top assassin trained by the Duke's government, naturally knew a lot of secrets, so Chu Qianqiu spent so much effort to pry her over directly.
At the beginning, Tianyu might have to endure hardships to protect his son.
But once something like betrayal happens, she can only go to the dark side.
Now she is shifting her loyalties to convince herself.
"Is there anything else?" Chu Qianqiu continued to ask.
"One time when the two of them were drinking in the palace, His Majesty also said that he knew that the Crown Prince had always been suffering in his heart." Tian Yu said as if recalling.
"Why is he suffering?" Chu Qianqiu couldn't help laughing.
"The prince has not had his mother since he was a child. He feels that he has harmed her mother and has never forgiven himself, so he has gone wild." Tian Yu defended the former prince.
"He is so miserable that he goes to harm the people in Beijing?" Chu Qianqiu retorted angrily. Don't say that he is not miserable at all. Even if he is miserable, it is not a reason to harm others.
Tianyu was silent for a moment. It was one thing to stand by the crown prince without any bottom line at the beginning, but it was another thing to change his allegiance now.
"I don't want to accuse you. This is true for everyone in the Duke's mansion, and it's not your problem alone."
"It's just that I can let him go this time, but I won't necessarily let him go next time."
Chu Qianqiu looked at the [Seven Holy Pills] in his hand and said unceremoniously.
The two sides are not at peace, but at war.
"Young Master, things are not that simple. If it happens next time, please be careful, Crown Prince."
"Oh, what are you careful about?"
"The Duke is not a magnanimous person." Tian Yu said hesitantly, but her loyalty led her to slowly reveal her knowledge of Xu Guogong.
"If Tian Yu guessed correctly, this [Seven Holy Pills] is just a temporary measure."
"His Majesty the Duke still wants to make the young master a whetstone for the Crown Prince."
"Is it too much to think too much about making a whetstone for his son?"
Chu Qianqiu said inexplicably, unless the other party also opened the golden finger, the gap between the two would only widen. Chu Qianqiu showed that he was a sixteen-year-old military prime minister, and even his daughter lost.
Now Xu Shi'an is just a playboy, only in the middle stage of innate talent.
Of course, reaching the middle stage of Xiantian at the age of eighteen is very powerful. Even in the Holy Land of Martial Arts, he is considered a genius. Even if he has accumulated a lot of resources, he is still a genius who has the hope of becoming a martial arts minister within the age of thirty.
In this way, no one of the characters has too much power, and each one is considered a treasure.
But compared with Chu Qianqiu, it is too unsatisfactory.
At most, it can be said that he has the potential to break through to the military prime minister within thirty years old. The problem is that by then, according to common sense, he will at least appear or have a real body.
"The prince has a big secret."
"The president of Zhishan Academy does not value him because of his status as the crown prince."
"But I sincerely believe that the Crown Prince can revitalize the college." Tian Yu said extremely seriously, and her expression didn't look like she was faking it at all.
"Oh, what's the secret? Can we still revive the academy?"
Chu Qianqiu couldn't help but asked, if Zhishan Academy is going to be revived by this thing, why not die as soon as possible.
"This secret is related to the emperor's destiny. If the prince didn't hate practicing martial arts and thought it was too hard, I'm afraid he would be a master of martial arts by now."
Tianyu is so loyal to Xu Shian, apart from years of brainwashing education, it is also because she believes that the crown prince will become the top figure in the world, not just relying on power.
"I once followed the crown prince and heard the president of Zhishan Academy say..." Tian Yu paused with some difficulty.
"What did you say?" Chu Qianqiu asked promptly.
"It is said that the crown prince is the reincarnation of a heavenly being."
The reincarnation of heavenly beings!
No wonder.
This status is truly noble to the extreme. No wonder the dean of Zhishan Academy came to fawn over him.
There must be masters in the Zhenwu Sect and the Maha Temple who are stronger than the martial arts ministers, otherwise they would not be the holy land of martial arts and dominate the world, let alone the two great demons, Buddha and Demon, and Taoism.
There is no similar figure in the current Confucian sect or Zhishan Academy, at least not on the surface.
If Xu Shian can become a heavenly being, then he will indeed have the ability to lead Zhishan Academy towards its former status.
Therefore, Zhishan Academy frantically invested in shares in an attempt to catch him before his rise.
The old servant was not willing to be a protector just for love.
After understanding this, Xu Guogong's arrangement became clear in Chu Qianqiu's eyes.
"So that's it. Mr. Xu Guogong is playing a hedging game."
Chu Qianqiu showed a somewhat playful smile.
"Hedging?" Tian Yu asked confused.
"He only has a son and a daughter, so he asked Xu Zishuang to practice the "Six Virtues" miraculous skills, help his relatives but not take care of them, and ignore right and wrong."
"When Xu Zishuang can cover her younger brother, she can naturally let him go smoothly and at the same time cultivate the relationship between brother and sister."
"If, when we can't protect him, Crown Prince Xu causes a huge disaster and causes his sister to die or collapse, then it will be a good time for his son to catch up."
Now Chu Qianqiu has shattered Xu Zishuang's future with one palm, which is equivalent to becoming half a useless person.
Then when Xu Shian saw his sister who had doted on him since childhood being beaten like this, would it cause the reincarnation in his body to awaken?
Perhaps this is Xu Guogong's true purpose.
It's really interesting.
"There is always one who can succeed, and Xu Guogong is indeed the man among the generals."
"You treat all living beings like pigs and dogs, and I'm afraid your own children are among them."
"Both sides will suffer, it's such a good plan."
But, am I so easy to be plotted?
"Young Master, do you want to eliminate the root cause?"
"Don't worry, he is not worthy of me doing this now."
The reincarnation of heavenly beings will also kill them in the future.
"Let's go to the Prime Minister's Palace with me."
