When Gu Cheng returned to the imperial city, the war was actually almost over. The Jianghu sects fled immediately after seizing the treasures without leaving any trace.
Mr. Huang Xian, who was summoned by Huang Jiuzheng before, fled immediately after getting the inner elixir. The same is true for the leaders of other Jianghu sects. They will leave as soon as they gain something and never hesitate to fight.
Feng Taisu and Li Xiaoqing want to overthrow the throne. In fact, these Jianghu sects have only one purpose, which is to prevent the birth of an immortal human emperor.
So now their goal has actually been achieved. As for actually killing Li Yuangong to rebel, only idiots would do such a thing because it is meaningless.
Li Yuangong was the emperor of Daqian, but Daqian did not belong to his family.
Li Yuangong had an influence on Daqian when he was alive, but after his death, he had less influence on Daqian.
With Longxiang Guard General Fan Sihai here, Jingyesi Commander-in-Chief Ye Wuzhao here, there are so many frontier generals in the world, so many Jingyesi town envoys, as well as Chen Gongqing and other high-ranking officials, Taixuan Taoist disciple Lu With Guanghao's support, these people are actually the real foundation of the entire Daqian.
Therefore, even if Li Yuangong dies here, the Daqian court can continue to function if any of the many princes in Daqian is brought up.
Even Li Yuangong's lineage is all dead, and there are still so many people in the Li royal family. Even if the idle prince Li Shanchang becomes the emperor, there will be no problem.
If you want to overthrow Daqian, you never have to kill the emperor, but you have to directly erode the foundation of Daqian from below.
As a large number of secret treasures related to immortality were taken away, the formation was completely shattered, and Li Yuangong's complexion turned pale.
No matter how strong Chen Gongqing is, he can't stop so many Jianghu people present, so he can only let them leave.
After a while, Chen Gongqing came back with the secret treasure. Li Yuangong asked with a trembling voice: "How many things were recovered?"
Chen Gongqing lowered his head and said: "Five pieces."
There are more than thirty kinds of secret treasures of immortality, almost all of which are unique and irreplaceable in the world. As a result, there are only five left now.
Hearing this, Li Yuangong became so angry that he spat out a mouthful of blood and fainted.
"Your Majesty!" The people around him suddenly rushed over in panic.
Even if Li Yuangong knew that his son and his henchmen were planning a rebellion to overthrow him, Li Yuangong was not so angry before.
This is the tradition of the Daqian royal family. This kind of internal fighting within the royal family is nothing, no matter how big the trouble is, it happens.
But now his hope of immortality is completely gone, and all his planning has turned out to be in vain. Just like what Feng Taisu said, although he didn't win, he also had to lose.
This kind of blow was huge to Li Yuangong and it was something he couldn't bear.
As Li Yuangong passed out, chaos broke out in front of the imperial city. While Eunuch Chen directed Fang Henshui and Li Yuanxing to clean up the mess, he immediately carried Li Yuangong back to the palace and called the imperial doctor for treatment.
At this time, while Fang Henshui summoned Jingyesi's people to enter the imperial city to deal with these matters, he patted Gu Cheng on the shoulder and sighed: "Gu Cheng, thank you for reminding me just now, otherwise I would not be punished this time. I no longer receive His Majesty's attention.
After this incident, your temporary inspection department should be disbanded. Don't worry, I will definitely arrange a good position for you. You must know that inspectors are also divided into three, six or nine levels. The position I will arrange for you will definitely be the first. First class!"
Fang Henshui was very emotional at this time. If Gu Cheng hadn't reminded him in time and made him side with Li Yuangong immediately, something big would have happened today.
Although Li Yuangong did not refine the elixir of immortality this time, the plot of the prince and others did not succeed.
Therefore, if Fang Henshui hesitated and did not stand up immediately, he would still be alienated even if he would not be settled by Li Yuan Gongqiu.
But now that he is the first among all commanders to stand up, the treatment he receives is naturally unusual.
Eunuch Chen subconsciously asked him and Li Yuanxing, who was Li Yuangong's absolute confidant, to handle the mess. This clearly showed his trust in him, and when Li Yuangong woke up, the reward would be indispensable.
In so many years, this was the first time that he had so clearly surpassed Yin Hongyuan.
Gu Cheng smiled and said, "You don't have to say that, sir. Even if I don't remind you, I believe you will make the right choice at that time."
Fang Henshui nodded with satisfaction. It was rare for him not to be arrogant about taking credit.
"It's your credit that's yours, no need to be modest.
This time you have also shown your face to His Majesty. I don’t need to arrange it. I believe His Majesty will put you in high regard.
Let’s clean this place first and wait for His Majesty to wake up.”
Fang Henshui gave an order, and everyone began to clean up the traces of the fight in the Imperial City.
The battle just now was simply too terrifying, especially the final scene where Chen Gongqing fought with part of the demon soul power of Mr. Huang Xian. The fight was like a mountain collapsing and the earth was shattering. It was definitely a force that could only be caused by a second-level powerhouse.
During their battle, Gu Cheng went after the Maitreya Cult man and didn't see it. However, looking at the traces of their fight that almost destroyed the entire imperial city, we can guess how fierce their fight was.
After handling the matters in the imperial city, Gu Cheng and others waited outside for Li Yuangong to wake up.
News has come from the imperial doctor. Li Yuangong was just so angry that he just spit out the congestion. It was not a serious problem, but this incident was a major blow to his spirit. After that,
The impact is actually greater than it is now.
It was not until the next day that Li Yuangong summoned everyone to the palace to discuss matters, and specifically called Gu Cheng to come.
You must know that the weakest people who are qualified to enter the palace to discuss matters are all at Fang Henshui's level, and Gu Cheng is the only exception.
The lights in the bedroom were dim, and Li Yuangong was leaning on the bed, his face pale, and he didn't know whether it was because of his hurt energy or because of the light.
Looking at everyone present, Li Yuangong said as soon as he came up: "I was wrong."
Fang Henshui and others were stunned. They rarely heard words from Li Yuangong that they were wrong.
Li Yuangong sighed: "I don't regret pursuing immortality. Which emperor in this world would not be moved when faced with immortality? I am also a mortal, and I can't do without desires and desires.
My mistake is that I don't trust General Fan, nor do I trust Governor Ye. If they were in the imperial city, even if they also opposed it, things would not have reached this level.
Yuanxing, help me send a message to General Fan and Governor Ye, and ask them to come back after suppressing the Western Xinjiang and Northern Territory. I am sorry for them this time."
Gu Cheng stood behind the crowd with his head lowered. When he heard Li Yuangong say this, he couldn't help but admire. Although Li Yuangong was obsessed this time, he was still clever in his methods after he regained his senses and tried his best to make up for the consequences of this incident.
.
Gu Cheng didn't believe Li Yuangong when he said he was wrong, just like Feng Taisu said, Li Yuangong didn't believe anyone.
The fact that he sent Fan Sihai and Ye Wuzhao away proved that he still didn't trust them in his heart, at least when it came to immortality, he didn't trust these two people.
So he sent these two away, leaving only Eunuch Chen.
But now the issue of immortality has come to nothing. These two are the mainstays of Daqian. He must appease these two people and make up for the rift between them, even if he has to bow his head and admit his mistake for this.
Li Yuanxing nodded, and then asked: "Your Majesty, what about the Northland? This time the Northland barbarians are making trouble in our imperial city, should we respond?"
Li Yuangong paused and said in a deep voice: "Be patient! Now I have caused too many chaos. It is not appropriate to cause more trouble at this time."
In fact, for Li Yuangong, of course he wanted to seek revenge from the northern barbarians now, but unfortunately his strength did not allow it.
In this case, the best choice for Da Qian is to recuperate his strength instead of going into another big fight.
Fang Henshui also asked: "What about the Jianghu side?"
Li Yuangong squinted his eyes and said: "It's also forbearance! But write down the names of all the sects that took action, so that we can settle the matter when we have time in the future!"
The leaders of these Jianghu sects are not idiots. The reason why they dared to take action without any scruples at that time is because they know that Da Gan does not dare to do anything to them.
The law does not punish the public. There are so many Jianghu sects that have taken action. How dare you liquidate them all? That is almost like starting a war with all Jianghu sects.
Although they definitely can't match the imperial court in terms of numbers, there are so many strong men. One assassination today and another assassination tomorrow will be too much for even Da Gan himself.
After giving some instructions to a few people, which were basically measures to stabilize the situation, Li Yuangong waved his hand and let them go.
Just when everyone was about to leave, Li Yuangong suddenly said: "Gu Cheng stays."
Several people present looked at Gu Cheng in surprise, because they didn't know what Li Yuangong meant by asking Gu Cheng to come.
Jingyesi has Fang Henshui here, so Fang Henshui can just make decisions and give orders about anything. How about taking orders from Gu Cheng?
And if Li Yuangong wanted to reward Gu Cheng, he could just say so directly. Why did he still leave him here alone?
After everyone left with doubts, Li Yuangong looked at Gu Cheng and sighed: "Gu Cheng, you did a good job.
Do you know what I thought of when I saw you standing up in front of me for the first time this time?"
Before Gu Cheng could answer, Li Yuangong thought to himself and said, "I seem to have seen the scene where your ancestors of the Gu family stood in front of Emperor Gaozong and refused to retreat even after being hit by more than a dozen arrows.
The lineage of Zhongyonghou has been loyal and good for generations, which can be learned from the sun and the moon! Everyone in my Li family will also remember it.
Gu Cheng, over the years the imperial court has owed something to you, the princes, for generations, and it is the imperial court that has failed you."
Gu Cheng quickly bowed and said: "Your Majesty, you are worrying too much. I am already satisfied if I can pass on such a foundation. My Gu family is willing to work through fire and water for generations to come, even if I die!"
As soon as the words came out, Gu Cheng's tone was impassioned and mixed with a touch of emotion, as if even he himself believed what he said.
