The internal struggle within the Jingyesi Division has always been going on. No one of the four major commanders can obey the other, and no one can overpower the other.
But if Gu Cheng becomes the commander in the future, based on his relationship with Fang Henshui, he will definitely join forces with Fang Henshui to suppress him, so Yin Hongyuan has to be on guard.
Normally, someone at the level of a commander would not easily intervene in the struggle for the throne, but Yin Hongyuan used her relationship with the Taoist sect to get closer to the second prince, because he roughly knew Li Yuangong's thoughts and wanted to wait for the second prince to become the prince.
It would be enough to ask for a favor and say a few bad words about Gu Cheng in front of the second prince after he ascended the throne.
Although at the level of commander, the emperor does not have the final say alone, but if the emperor doesn't like you, are you still qualified to hold such an important position?
When everyone entered the palace together, Li Yuangong still looked like he was about to run out of gas. However, because of the mirage that Gu Cheng gave him, Li Yuangong did not feel much pain and his spirit was still strong.
After hearing what Chen Gongqing said about the two parties, Li Yuangong also had a headache.
He wanted to give the Taoist sect face, and since the Xianqin Taoist sect was refining the elixir of immortality for him, it was impossible for him to punish the Xianqin Taoist sect.
And Gu Cheng was his confidant who had just been promoted and gave him mirage beads to ease his pain. At this time, it would be unreasonable for him to decisively fall out with Gu Cheng.
So Li Yuangong had no choice but to start making peace with him.
"I thought it was such a big deal, but it turned out that it was just because of these trivial things. How could it be that such a big fuss was made over such a trivial matter?
The Xianqin Dao Sect is not in a hurry to preach. If you want to preach in the capital, then ask the guards guarding the gate to arrange a position for you where you will not disturb others.
As for Gu Cheng, you don't need to get too excited. The Taoist sect is different from those evil cults. Even if they preach in the capital, they will not harm the people of the capital.
Also, the reaction of the three factions of you is too extreme. Gu Cheng is now responsible for the defense of Jingyesi. It is normal to be sensitive to this kind of thing. Why do you need to go out and trouble him in a big way?
Okay, this matter is over. It just so happens that Master Lu of Taixuan Dao Sect has also chosen a time for me. The crown prince's canonization ceremony will be held in seven days. Please go back and inform your respective masters.
"
Li Yuangong waved his hand and dismissed everyone present impatiently.
However, before leaving, he stopped Taoist Qin again: "Taoist Qin, has the elixir of immortality been successfully refined?"
Taoist Master Qin immediately said with a proud look on his face: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, the refining is in progress, and it will be completed in just seven days.
By then, Your Majesty will have a new prince, and the elixir of immortality will be released, which can be said to be a double blessing."
Hearing what Taoist Qin said, Li Yuangong couldn't help but nodded with satisfaction.
When Gu Cheng saw this scene, he secretly shook his head, feeling a little complicated.
In fact, to be fair, Li Yuangong was barely qualified as emperor. At least he did not bring Da Gan to a complete collapse.
Of course, it has not improved. The shortcomings accumulated over five hundred years of hard work cannot be solved by Li Yuangong alone.
But when it comes to the emperor's intentions and methods, Li Yuangong is undoubtedly qualified.
Although Li Yuangong failed in refining the elixir of immortality last time, he failed miserably, but anyone can fail. How can he refine something that does not exist?
But he took the opportunity of refining the elixir of immortality, used the prince and Feng Taisu, and finally eradicated them in one fell swoop. It can be said that he had these two people under his control. His methods were ruthless and ruthless, even his own son
Not even given a chance.
But what about Li Yuangong now? In Gu Cheng's opinion, he is just a confused old man. Because he is nostalgic for this world, he can't bear to let go while grasping the last straw, even if this kind of thing is full of loopholes in the eyes of others.
This kind of behavior is similar to that of the old people in Gu Cheng's previous life who rushed to buy health medicines. They knew clearly that it would have no effect, but they still couldn't help but have a glimmer of hope that it would be useful.
Li Yuangong is someone who has seen Feng Taisu's Immortality Treasure Book, which has recorded all kinds of secret techniques in the world that have the hope of immortality over the years. Which of them is not more reliable than the great tonic pills refined by Xian Qin Dao Sect? It's a pity that he
I don't want to deny myself this last chance.
Zuo Yunzhi, who was in the scabbard of the sword, said slowly: "Emperors, generals, ministers, and people in the world, as long as they are human beings, they don't want to die. Especially those who are emperors, how can they live long enough when they control such great power?
It's a pity that because of the reincarnation of heaven, they are burdened with the fate of the entire dynasty. With the dragon veins weighing on their bodies, they can only carry the power of the past few decades.
Of course, if they want to live forever, it would be easy for them to give up the throne and join the sect with a lot of resources to practice. Successful practice will naturally extend their lifespan, but are they willing to do so?"
Gu Cheng wondered: "Oh? Is the emperor's inability to practice related to the Dragon Vein Land?"
"Of course it is related, otherwise do you think these emperors are all guys with extremely poor talents in each generation?
You cannot see or touch the power of luck and the weight of dragon veins. It is a force in the rules of heaven and earth, which is enough to suppress you from turning over. No matter how strong your cultivation is, it is useless.
You also have the power of dragon veins, so you should be able to feel how strong the power of dragon veins is. Can normal people control this power? Even if you have reached this level now, you are only qualified to borrow a little bit."
Gu Cheng nodded thoughtfully, no wonder not a single emperor in Da Qian had good cultivation for so many years, and some even had short lives.
The power of the dragon vein and the luck of the dynasty are of course good things, but putting them all on one person is a burden, even to the point where they dare not touch it.
"By the way, since ordinary people or weaker practitioners will be affected by the power of dragon veins and unable to practice, what if they practice to the holy realm to conquer the world and establish a dynasty?"
Zuo Yunzhi looked at Gu Cheng as if he were an idiot: "What is the Holy Realm? The first-level peak, the nine poles unified, and the transcendence of human beings, that is the Holy Realm!
When you reach the Holy Realm, you are as far apart from other beings as heaven and earth. Will you still take the power of the secular world in your eyes?
For example, if you were asked to go overseas to find an island country to become king and emperor, and manage hundreds of thousands of people, would you feel comfortable?
Moreover, even those who are powerful in the Holy Realm cannot refine the Dragon Vein Luck. They can only forcefully subdue them, and they will also waste their life span in a thankless way.
Do you know that even in an era when powerful men in the holy realm appeared frequently five hundred years ago, we were still at the top of the entire world.
So what about the emperor? I, Luo Jiao, can destroy a country with just one religion! The king must also bow his head and salute in front of me!"
Gu Cheng slapped his head. This question he asked was indeed a bit stupid.
In fact, Gu Cheng has never seen a real strong man in the holy realm. The only image he has is a quick glance of Martial Saint Pei Fei, so he does not understand the concept of a strong man in the holy realm.
As for Zuo Yunzhi at this time, he can only be regarded as a part of Zuo Yunzhi in the true holy realm, so of course he cannot be regarded as a strong man in the holy realm.
When they reach the legendary holy realm, their mentality and strength are naturally different. Maybe the so-called dynasty competition is no different from playing house in their eyes.
Just as Gu Cheng was walking out of the imperial city while thinking about the powerful men in the Holy Realm, a figure suddenly stopped in front of Gu Cheng.
He was a young man who looked to be in his early forties. He deliberately grew a beard to make himself look more mature.
Gu Cheng was stunned for a moment, then smiled and cupped his hands and said: "It turns out to be the second prince. Why, the second prince came to trouble me about the Xian Qin Dao Sect?"
The person who came was none other than the second prince Li Xiaoming. When Gu Cheng was tricking the third prince, he had approached Hong Dingshan to join forces with him, but he had not had much dealings with the second prince.
Gu Cheng's position may have been unclear before, but now that he is in trouble with the Xian Qin Daomen, Gu Cheng's position is already obvious to the people of the Second Prince's line.
Li Xiaoming took a deep look at Gu Cheng and said calmly: "If Mr. Gu said this, he is looking down on me. I am not stingy enough.
Mr. Gu, do you have time to have a good chat with me?"
A smile appeared on Gu Cheng's lips and he said, "Okay."
In fact, Gu Cheng was really afraid that the other party would do something small, because it was unnecessary and useless.
Just like what the leader of the Fighting Heaven Alliance said, the battle for the throne relies on absolute strength. At present, everything on the Fighting Heaven Alliance's side has been arranged. When the day comes to canonize the prince, he will ignore everything and directly crush him with force.
Where can I be afraid of small actions?
Li Xiaoming took Gu Cheng to a separate house of his own. He had already prepared a banquet and extended his hand to Gu Cheng: "Master Gu, please."
After sitting down, Li Xiaoming personally brought a glass of wine to Gu Cheng and said in a deep voice: "Master Gu, although you have never had contact with me, I have heard of your name, even more than once.
Mr. Gu, you are a talented person. Whether in the imperial court or in the world, your performance can be said to be the best among the entire younger generation of Jingyesi, and even the younger generation of practitioners in the imperial court.
Your current position is far from your limit, you should know this."
Gu Cheng drank a glass of wine and said modestly: "Thank you for the compliment, Your Highness."
Li Xiaoming shook his head and said, "But there is one thing Mr. Gu did wrong."
"Which point?"
“You don’t know people well!”
Li Xiaoming put down his wine glass and said in a deep voice, "I don't know why, Mr. Gu, you want to help the fourth child, and I don't know what the fourth child promised you, but do you really think that the fourth child can defeat me?
I know the fourth child best. When we were young, we grew up in the palace. His mother's family background is not big and he is an inconspicuous one among the princes. But this guy loves to show off and joins forces with the prince... The eldest brother comes to bully us.
He turned around and revealed to us the wrong things that our eldest brother had done, and used our help to frame him.
He, Li Xiaowu, is not an easy person to deal with. He has done things like turning against others and not recognizing them more than once or twice.
The promises I have made may not be as big as those of Li Xiaowu, but I will keep my word! And that may not be the case for Li Xiaowu."
