Gu Weiran's eyes became a little deeper, "That's not the case."
"Oh? What's that?" Zhang Tao and Meng Hua were stunned. Could it be that Gu Weiran wanted to directly rebel and seize the throne in one fell swoop, forcing the current emperor, Gu Longtian, to abdicate in favor of someone else? If so, the danger would be too great.
You must know that Gu Longtian is definitely not a simple person who can bring peace to the world. I am afraid that the three princes have his people around him. It is not because he does not trust his own son, but because there is no family affection under the imperial power. Under absolute power,
It will make many people lose their minds, like moths rushing to a flame, never getting tired of it.
If Gu Weiran had the intention of forcing the palace, he would probably die prematurely and be doomed. After all, he was too young. Even if he started preparing very early, it would not be as good as Gu Longtian's continuation and foundation over the years.
"It's just because I don't want to die. For myself and Han'er, I can't die, so I have to fight! I have to be the best among ten thousand people to protect me and my woman!" Gu Weiran said something that made Zhang Tao
Something that neither Meng Hua nor Meng Hua expected.
"Protect yourself?" Zhang Tao narrowed his eyes slightly and already understood the meaning.
Gu Weiran sighed, "Yes, being born in an emperor's family doesn't mean you can do whatever you want. People can't help themselves in the world, and the same is true for people in an emperor's family. Maybe I didn't have the ambition to be the best in the beginning, but that doesn't mean that I
The eldest brother and the second brother have no intention of getting rid of me. Because I am the youngest, my father loves me very much. Because of this, something happened to me when I was a child. And because of that accident, I chose to go to Haoran.
The first reason for the academy is to stay away from the imperial city and danger so that they can't reach it. The second reason is because of the special significance of Haoran Academy. The third reason is that I can also secretly form my own force."
Zhang Tao and Meng Hua looked at each other, and then sighed. They knew that Gu Weiran was not lying. As a child, Gu Weiran didn't know what kind of experiences and threats he went through to make him think like this.
For a person who wants to become an emperor, any signs of danger must be eliminated, and Gu Weiran seems to have almost died! From then on, he matured, grew up, and understood what he had to face and who he was.
What do I have to do.
He wants to be the emperor not for the supreme power and power of life and death, nor for the intoxicating throne, but to live, to let Yi Tinghan live, nothing more... It seems very
Simple, but heartbreaking. What kind of helplessness is this?
Forced to fight for the emperor? It seems ridiculous... but it is true. "I know that your ambition is not comparable to mine. I also know that you can definitely do it. In the future, you can even do it with a flip of your hands."
Destroy my country, Honghao, but now I need your help, brother."
"I promise you! I will go all out to help you achieve your goal, and I will not let my brother be killed." Zhang Tao finally chose this path, not to leave a name for the ages, nor to covet glory and wealth.
, just to protect his brother and let him live.
"I will also help you." Meng Hua said suddenly. This is what moved Gu Weiran. Meng Hua was different from Zhang Tao. Zhang Tao was alone, and he plunged into the whirlpool of imperial power without any worries.
But Meng Hua is not like that. He represents a chamber of commerce behind him! The Yunyan Chamber of Commerce is a big success, and there are countless pairs of eyes staring at it. As long as there is a little turmoil, they will pull down the Yunyan Chamber of Commerce.
Therefore, the four major chambers of commerce are now maintaining neutrality. No chamber of commerce would choose to support a prince at such an early time, and Meng Hua's nod represents the action of a chamber of commerce.
"Thank you!" Gu Weiran did not shirk, because that was too hypocritical, so he could only keep this feeling in his heart. "As long as I, Gu Weiran, live for one day, I will never let you down in this life!"
"Haha, there is one more person to add. You can't betray our brother Yi, right? Otherwise, I won't let you go." Meng Hua made a joke, which made Yi Tinghan feel shy, but Zhang Tao laughed.
In this way, the iron triangle alliance has basically emerged.
"Zhang Tao, you don't have to do anything now. You and I are just friends. What you need now is to get the approval of the emperor and get an official position, so that you can do things well." After dinner, Gu Weiran said, now
What Zhang Tao needs is a foundation to settle down, and what he needs is an identity that can do things.
Now Zhang Tao is just a commoner. Although he has some strength, he is no more than a martial artist. He is unable to interfere with the imperial power until he reaches the level of a heavenly warrior. Although Zhang Tao has two heavenly warriors helping behind him, in the dark palace struggle, the two
Tianshi may not be able to influence the victory. After all, the mountain in Qingyang is loyal to the current emperor. If fratricide was exposed openly, Gu Weiran would definitely die.
Zhang Tao nodded, and Meng Hua can certainly do his own thing. "I don't think I can publicly reveal that I support you now. Even if others know about your relationship, they may not be able to think that I, the Yunyan Chamber of Commerce, directly support you. Why don't I say a few words?"
Just a smoke bomb, I can start visiting the eldest prince and second prince tomorrow, how about that?"
Gu Weiran nodded, "That's great. Yunyan Chamber of Commerce is my secret weapon. Let's drink to the future!"
After roughly agreeing on the next plan, everyone made a few harmless jokes, such as whether Yi Tinghan was the future queen, or whether Gu Weiran would have three thousand beauties in the harem, etc.
It was already late at night when he returned to the academy hall, but Zhang Tao found that Mo Lengfeng was missing. "Where are the others?"
"Do you still need to ask? Didn't Ouyang Qiuling make an appointment to meet his wife?" Qin Huanran said with a smile.
Zhang Tao was speechless. He remembered that Mo Lengfeng couldn't talk, and Mo Lengfeng was always a man of his word. What happened this time?
"Has our iceberg spring blossomed?" Zhang Tao thought of an unimaginable possibility, but now, this possibility is very real.
Not long after, Mo Lengfeng came back with a calm expression, but found Zhang Tao and Qin Huanran in his room, and looked at him teasingly, "What's the matter?"
"Going to see her?" Qin Huanran asked with a pleasant smile.
"so what?"
"Have you fallen in love with her?" Zhang Tao also asked with a smile.
But the temperature in the room turned cold the next moment, because Mo Lengfeng had already held the sword in his hand. "If you have lived enough, I can send you on your way. Don't worry, I can handle the academy's conference by myself."
"Ahem... Zhang Tao, you have a good rest, you still have a literary competition." Qin Huanran missed Mo Lengfeng's body and left his room, while Mo Lengfeng's sword pointed at Zhang Tao again, "Ahem, um, I understand, yes.
Brother Qin, you are also knowledgeable in both civil and military affairs. I want to ask you a question. Let's go back together."
"That's very good." The two of them fled away from Mo Lengfeng.
The literary competition is about to begin. This time it is still Haoran Academy versus Shangjing Academy. Kong Ling, Shiyun, Zhang Tao, Yu Wenqing, and Zhang Youcai are all ready.
Of course...students from the martial arts sect can also go and watch. It's all up to personal preference. "Zhang Tao, everyone will be surprised when you appear at the venue. Why don't we, the martial arts sect, follow you?" Qin Huanran
He said, since he didn’t play the show anyway, others might think that he is a literary person.
"Well, Brother Zhang's literary talents are definitely top-notch in Haoran Academy. He is our secret weapon. Looking at today's topic, if we are not sure, it would be good for Brother Zhang to appear." Kong Ling said.
Zhang Tao nodded, and everyone headed to the venue together. In fact, although they are from the same school, the relationship between the civil and military factions has never been very good. Everyone competes with each other to see who is the real winner. For example, the martial arts faction
If they lose and the literary faction wins, then it will probably be difficult for the martial arts faction to raise its head in the future.
Although this phenomenon makes people speechless, it cannot be changed overnight. It seems that Haoran Academy is so harmonious this time, which is absolutely unprecedented.
At the venue, five literary disciples from Shangjing Academy had already arrived, but Gu He was sleepy on the side. This kind of relying on one's elders and showing off one's elders made people feel angry.
Literary competitions are divided into many types, not just ordinary poems and songs, music, chess, calligraphy and painting, but also lantern riddles, couplets, discussions on state affairs, and competitions on military law! It can be said to be all-encompassing.
A successful literati not only needs to be well-read in poetry and books, but also needs to have a long-term vision and comprehensive strength, otherwise it will be difficult to achieve great things.
Of course, if you show your talents in the competition here, you will be favored by some nobles, but if you want to face the smiling face of the emperor in the Golden Palace, it may be difficult to reach the sky.
The general format of the game is that the emperor personally throws a ball, and then the ball is like a dice with the events of the game on it. Whatever event appears will be the competition. The competition of the literary school is almost the same as that of the martial arts school, with three wins out of five games.
!No chance, no cheating.
Whether it's guessing lantern riddles to test your overall quality and reaction ability, or taking a military test to test your wisdom, there are no fixed questions. It can be said that they are all done on the spot, with real guns!
Martial arts masters need talent, strength, and perseverance, while literati need talent, wisdom, foresight, and a view of the overall situation! They are indispensable. To become an independent think tank, you need not only quick wit and knowledge, but also a holistic view of the overall situation.
wisdom!
And this time the referee was actually Gu He himself! This made Zhang Tao stunned. This old man was one of the academy's liberators, and he could actually serve as a neutral referee? It seemed that his prestige was indeed quite high.
"Don't worry, although this old man is stubborn, he is not cheating for personal gain. He can be said to be a hateful and lovely old man." Dong Wudao said with a smile, as if he had read everyone's thoughts.
