Since the imperial court has responded to the Maitreya Cult matter and it will not affect Gu Cheng, he naturally doesn't need to worry about it.
However, Gu Cheng was still thinking about what he could do with this matter.
Opportunities do not fall from the sky, but are earned by oneself.
If you don't fight for it yourself, even if the opportunity is placed in front of you, it will be useless.
This incident now gave Gu Cheng a bold idea, that is, to use this incident to trick the third prince!
When Gu Cheng first entered the capital, he never thought about participating in the fight for the right to inherit the throne.
But who would have thought that because of Gu Yuanzhong's family, he had to get involved, and in the end he completely fell out with the third prince.
Gu Yuanzhong's family wanted Gu Cheng to die, and Gu Cheng refused the third prince's solicitation. The two sides were completely fighting to the death.
Besides, the third prince had planned to trick him before, which almost ruined Gu Cheng's future.
The clay figure is also very angry. Gu Cheng has never taken the initiative to make an enemy of the third prince since he entered the capital, but the other party is pressing closer. Does he, Li Xiaoxuan, really think that he is a kind person?
What about the princes? These princes seem to have astonishing power, but in fact, if they are not crown princes, they will be frightened and they will not be able to live in peace for a day.
Even if you become the prince, as long as the old emperor does not die, your position will not be secure.
Without Jing Yesi's powerful position, Gu Cheng can still hang out in the world, but if these princes fail in the struggle, their end will be very miserable. It should be said that there is no end.
Having made up his mind, Gu Cheng returned to Jingyesi in the East Region, closed the door of his study room, and pondered for a while. After sorting out the cause and effect, he went straight to find the Ninth Prince Li Xiaozhun.
Because Li Xiaozhun was not crowned king, he did not even have his own palace. When he was in the capital, he lived in a mansion he purchased.
When they parted before, Li Xiaozhun told Gu Cheng that Gu Cheng could come to him if anything happened, so he gave the address here to Gu Cheng.
When Gu Cheng came to Li Xiaozhun's house, he happened to see Li Xiaozhun getting off the carriage and returning to his house.
Compared with the previous period, it can be said that Li Xiaozhun looked a lot more haggard during this period.
He had some cultivation, but as a result, he had spent too much during this period, causing his body to become a little weak, and his eyes had two thick dark circles, as if he hadn't rested for a long time.
Seeing Gu Cheng coming, Li Xiaozhun was stunned for a moment, but then he squeezed out a smile and said, "Why is Mr. Gu free to come here today?
These days, I have been busy helping my fourth brother compete with the second prince for the position of the announcer of the memorial ceremony. I have been so busy that I have not been able to entertain you, Mr. Gu. Please forgive me."
Li Xiaozhun always made people feel comfortable when doing things. It was okay even if he didn't explain so much to Gu Cheng at this time, but saying so many more words made him appear sincere.
Gu Cheng shook his head and said: "Your Highness, you are too polite. I am not a guest. Why do I need to entertain you?"
I came to see His Highness today to actually discuss the position of the announcer of the memorial document, and I need His Highness to help me introduce the Fourth Prince."
Hearing what Gu Cheng said, Li Xiaozhun's eyes suddenly showed surprise.
He knew Gu Cheng's identity, and naturally he also knew Gu Cheng's attitude.
The relationship between the Zhengtian Alliance and the Fourth Prince is just a transaction. The Fourth Prince can get as much as he pays.
But now Gu Cheng actually asked to see the fourth prince. This clearly made his own decision. What did he want to do? To join the fourth prince?
"Master Gu, why do you want to see Fourth Brother?"
Gu Cheng said solemnly: "I am confident that the Fourth Prince will be the biggest beneficiary of this ancestor worship ceremony!"
Li Xiaozhun was furious. He had been busy with this matter during this period, but had no results until now. He was even slightly at a disadvantage. However, Gu Cheng said that he had a solution.
Even though Li Xiaozhun had always known that Gu Cheng was very capable, he couldn't help but have doubts at this time.
"Mr. Gu, you can't talk nonsense like this. Fourth brother is different from me. You can say some jokes to me casually, but you can't say them casually to fourth brother."
Li Xiaojun said with a solemn expression.
Gu Cheng shook his head and said: "I never like to joke. I have been in the capital for such a long time. If I am not absolutely sure, why would I ask to see the fourth prince at this time?"
Li Xiaozhun took a deep look at Gu Cheng, pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll take you to see Fourth Brother right now."
If anyone in the capital knows Gu Cheng best now, it must be the Ninth Prince Li Xiaozhun in front of him.
He had been to Nanyi County and knew what Gu Cheng had done in Nanyi County and his power in Nanyi County. In the end, Gu Cheng overthrew Xie Anzhi in a short time and was transferred to
Come to the capital.
It can be said that most people in the capital now underestimate Gu Cheng, even Gu Cheng's immediate boss Fang Henshui.
People who have never been to Nanyi County simply don't know how Gu Cheng relied on his sixth-grade strength to lay the foundation in Nanyi County. In an area where there is no imperial court, the world is in chaos, and evil cults and gangs are rampant.
Combining the vertical and horizontal, laying a foundation.
While these people in the capital were still scheming in a small area, Gu Cheng had already caused huge waves in a complex place like Nanyi County.
It can be said that Gu Cheng is actually keeping a low profile in the capital right now, because there are too many people in charge of him, which actually restricts Gu Cheng to a certain extent.
Li Xiaozhun knew Gu Cheng. Since Gu Cheng was not joking now, he probably said these things only when he was really sure.
The fourth prince Li Xiaowu has been named King Yong, so he naturally has a palace in the capital.
Because Gu Cheng's identity was sensitive, Li Xiaozhun took Gu Cheng directly into his carriage and entered Prince Yong's Mansion through the back door.
When he met this fourth prince for the first time, Gu Cheng finally understood why this fourth prince was able to make Li Xiaozhun follow him willingly, and also allow the Zhengtian Alliance to cooperate with him, and even compete with the second prince as a successor.
Li Xiaowu's appearance is similar to that of Li Xiaojun, but he is more masculine and heroic. His temperament is deep and restrained, but it has a hint of sharpness, and he has a bit of a king's bearing.
Even Gu Cheng could faintly notice that the strength of the fourth prince in front of him was not weak, probably not lower than the sixth grade.
Da Qian built his country by force, so as long as the princes were not too talented, they all had some cultivation, although cultivation was not that important to them.
But considering Li Xiaowu's age, and the fact that he spends a lot of time fighting with other princes, even if he has no shortage of training resources because he is a member of the royal family, his current level of cultivation is enough to prove that he has great talent.
.
Seeing Gu Cheng coming at this time, Li Xiaowu suddenly laughed boldly and said: "Master Gu has been in the capital for so long that I didn't have time to entertain him. Please don't take offense to your neglect."
Of course Li Xiaowu's words were polite, and he really had no need to entertain Gu Cheng, because although Gu Cheng had done things for him, he was not considered his confidant.
If Gu Cheng took the initiative to seek refuge with him, he would naturally welcome it, but since Gu Cheng was a member of the Zhengtian Alliance and the relationship between the two parties was just a transaction, he naturally didn't need to be so concerned.
To be more realistic, it's because Gu Cheng's status and strength are not enough.
If Yu Yuanhai, Qiu Erniang and other core and grandmaster-level figures of the Tianzheng Alliance came, Li Xiaowu would definitely receive them politely, but for Gu Cheng, this is naturally not necessary.
Gu Cheng cupped his hands and said, "Your Highness, you're welcome. I believe the Ninth Prince has already told His Highness the purpose of my visit this time, right?"
Seeing Gu Cheng going straight in, Li Xiaowu sat up straight and said in a deep voice: "Ninth brother told me.
Mr. Gu, with all due respect, if the seven people from the Heavenly Alliance came to tell me what I said today, I would believe it, but if you came to tell me, I would not believe it.
You are just the commander of the Eastern Territory, and you can only affect a small part of the Eastern Territory. You are afraid that you cannot interfere with the situation in the entire capital."
Gu Cheng shook his head slightly and said: "Don't say I can't intervene in the situation in the capital. I'm afraid even you, Your Highness, can't intervene now.
However, although we cannot change the situation, we can take advantage of the situation. If Your Highness believes in me, I am 90% sure that I can make you win, Your Highness."
"How do you expect me to trust you?"
Gu Cheng narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice: "As long as His Highness voluntarily gives up the position of reading the memorial ceremony and gives it to the second prince, and then as a price, the second prince will work with you to suppress the third prince and take the back-up position, it will be enough.
!”
As soon as these words came out, the whole room fell into silence, and the fourth prince and the ninth prince were stunned.
At this time, Li Xiaozhun even felt a little regretful. If he had known that Gu Cheng would say such a thing, he should first ask Gu Cheng what his plan was.
At this time, Li Xiaowu suddenly said after being silent for a while: "If I hadn't known that you were from the Zhengtian Alliance, and had cooperated with this king, and overthrew Xie Anzhi, who had taken refuge in the second brother, I really doubted that you were
The undercover agent sent by the second brother."
Gu Cheng smiled and said: "Your Highness, please listen to what I have to say. Sometimes when you give up, you get something. If you don't give up something, you won't get what you want.
This is just like playing chess, so why not give him a piece? Looking at the overall situation, we still don’t know who will win and who will lose.”
Li Xiaowu said in a deep voice: "Then tell me, why did I give up this position to the second child? Do you know how long I fought with him and how much energy I consumed?"
At this time, Li Xiaowu's expression was already a little unkind, but he was extremely sophisticated and did not show it directly.
After all, he had such a fight with the second prince and had to pay too much.
As a result, now Gu Cheng wants him to give up the fight and give in as soon as he comes. He has already cultivated himself without falling out.
