"Since it's not your intention, how can I dare to believe it?" Gu Chenhuan looked at Wei Shengjue indifferently, with a slightly mocking arc on his lips, "I can't guarantee that after I really take a step forward, you will
A knife will not fly out immediately to kill me or block my mouth."
"...Is that what you think?" Wei Shengjue's expression looked a little strange. After getting Gu Chenhuan's acknowledgment, he paused for a moment and then said, "But you are wrong."
Gu Chenhuan had already guessed that Wei Shengjue would refute her words, so he asked without surprise: "Huh?"
Wei Shengjue replied: "It's not for this reason that I came out with you without Goubuli."
This guy shouted the three words "Goubuli" very naturally, and Gu Chenhuan couldn't help but curse.
"He is the only prince of Beiming Kingdom. I am my only son now. I cannot let you take him away." Wei Shengjue explained briefly.
"Are you admitting that he is your son now?" Gu Chenhuan laughed sarcastically, and even the tone of his words changed, "Why didn't you say that when you were racking your brains to think about his death?"
Wei Shengjue turned his head slightly and looked at the calm river not far away. Facing Gu Chenhuan's sarcastic questioning, his expression remained unchanged and he continued calmly: "You are not stupid, and you are too smart. You should know.
What does his existence mean to me, and what does it mean to Gu Qinghong."
He explained everything she had been thinking about these days.
At this moment, Gu Chenhuan had to admit that although she didn't like this evil emperor because of Goubuli, they still had too many similarities.
Not only do they treat others with the same hypocritical mask, not only do they have the same arrogant and free-spirited temperament, not only do they have a sinister and vicious temper, but they even think about the same things.
Wei Shengjue saw that Gu Chenhuan was silent and knew that she understood what he meant, so he continued: "Gu Qinghong is too powerful. Not only does he control half of the important officials in the court, but he even holds 300,000 soldiers.
It's too dangerous. If he gets another bargaining chip that can compete with me..." He stopped at the most critical point and did not say any more.
Gu Chenhuan had completely understood. The bargaining chip that Wei Shengjue was referring to, the bargaining chip that Gu Qinghong wanted to use for his own use, was Goubuli.
If Gu Qinghong controls Goubuli, the current sole heir of Beiming Kingdom, through Queen Gu, then as long as he finds a way to kill the current king, he can naturally support Goubuli, the only prince, to ascend the throne, and then
, he can use his young and weak children to realize his ambition.
Thinking about it this way, it was not without reason that Wei Shengjue wanted to kill Goubuli.
"But why do you want to keep him now?" Gu Chenhuan asked. This was the biggest doubt in her heart now.
"Because of King Anyang." Wei Shengjue replied, and then explained to Gu Chenhuan, who was unfamiliar with the inside story, "A year ago, Gu Qinghong married his second daughter to King Anyang as his concubine."
His words were enough for Gu Chenhuan to clear his thoughts.
"Gu Qinghong used this daughter to form an alliance with King Anyang?" Gu Chenhuan asked. Although she said it as a question, her tone was clearly a declarative one.
"Yes. Xiao Zhen, the Duke of Zhenguo who has retired from old age and returned to his hometown, is the grandfather of King Anyang. This means that he has the support of Xiao Zhen. If we add Gu Qinghong's power, his power can almost rival mine.
"Weishengjue explained in more detail.
This is probably the reason why his expression is a little complicated when he mentions King Anyang, Gu Chenhuan thought.
Now she completely understood Wei Shengjue's thoughts.
This is the art of checks and balances.
Because of Goubuli's existence, Gu Qinghong would hesitate whether to support King Anyang or support Goubuli, the only prince.
Therefore, he kept his only son, the son who could make the prime minister's heart beat, to check and balance the power of his younger brother.
Even if Gu Chenhuan didn't like Wei Shengjue's attitude towards Goubuli, he couldn't help but admire him. He was indeed a born emperor. What a good plan!
