Wen Qiyu thought that he had heard wrongly. Even if Xiao Chengyi appreciated his talent, he would not be able to give him the position of prime minister.
Xiao Chengyi asked: "What? Mr. Wen thinks he is incompetent?"
Wen Qiyu was really shocked. He looked at Xiao Chengyi and said, "Why does His Royal Highness value Wen so highly?"
Xiao Chengyi smiled and said: "Because I cherish my talents."
Wen Qiyu chuckled and asked, "I heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince made three requests with the Queen?
As long as she is not the third princess, the queen will agree to the marriage.
As for the Gu King and the Holy Son, the Queen might think that the Crown Prince is bullying others.
I wonder what the real intention of His Royal Highness is? Mr. Wen, please help me."
Xiao Chengyi said: "These three requirements mentioned by Gu are the real purpose of this trip to southern Xinjiang.
It's just that the Queen regards King Gu and the Holy Son as divine objects that protect Southern Border, and doesn't want to give them to each other.
She would rather break up with Gu and become enemies with Beichen and Nanyue, but also want to protect King Gu and the Holy Son."
Wen Qiyu sighed and said: "As far as your majesty is concerned, King Gu and the Holy Son are the foundation of Southern Xinjiang, and naturally they cannot be surrendered to them.
In fact, I have appealed to Your Majesty countless times to abolish this ancient system, but Your Majesty is stubborn and has repeatedly rejected it, and I am powerless."
He looked at Xiao Chengyi and said, "His Royal Highness, does he have any good ideas?"
Xiao Chengyi said: "After I found the saint, I informed the high priest.
The high priest was happy with the third princess. He hoped more than anyone else that the Holy Son would wake up and that someone could bear this fate in the place of the third princess.
So he has promised to cooperate with me and send me to Gu Palace.
After this is accomplished, I will help him seize the throne, support him to ascend the throne, and change southern Xinjiang."
Wen Qiyu was shocked: "Cooperate with the high priest and rebel against the queen?"
He frowned and said, "His Royal Highness, do you really believe in the high priest?"
Xiao Chengyi asked: "Do you think he is untrustworthy?"
Wen Qiyu pondered for a moment and said: "The High Priest is a very deep man in the city. It is impossible for him to betray his mother. His Highness the Crown Prince cannot fully trust him and must always be careful about him.
If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince really wants to find someone to cooperate with, I think Duan Mingxu, the leader of the imperial guard, and Commander Ming, the commander of the capital, are more suitable.
These two people are guarding the palace and the city. If we can capture them, Southern Xinjiang will be under control."
Xiao Chengyi raised his eyebrows and asked: "Tell me? Why do you think they are suitable?"
Wen Qiyu said: "Duan Mingxu is the nephew of Her Majesty the Queen. The first thing Her Majesty did after taking power was to bloodbath the Duan family, leaving only Duan Mingxu alone.
Although he is loyal to Your Majesty, he may not have any hatred towards Your Majesty."
Xiao Chengyi nodded. Although this life is different from the previous life, some things have not changed.
For example, when the Duan family was wiped out, Duan Qingli could not be blamed for being ruthless. It was the Duan family who wanted to step on Duan Qingli and ascend to the throne, but was killed in the end.
He asked: "Where is the other one?"
Wen Qiyu said: "This person is in charge of the Imperial City Guards, Ming Commandery. He has saved many people and is the most trusted person by Your Majesty.
However, I have secretly investigated his life experience and found that his biological mother, like the third princess, is the guardian of the Gu King.
But because she fell in love and had an affair with someone, she gave birth to him, and was eventually punished with polarity.
His purpose in approaching His Majesty is obviously that if His Majesty wants to cooperate with others, these two people are the first choice."
Xiao Chengyi smiled and said to the people outside: "Come in."
