Chapter 503 She is the Seventeenth Prince of Tiancang Kingdom
Bai Jingtian's mind was extremely clear.
Kneeling on the ground and sorting out his thoughts in his mind, he said, "If I remember correctly, when we were in Zhongyuan City, the Ninth Prince recognized you as his sworn brother, and asked the emperor for permission to grant you the title of Heavenly Cang." Is this the case for the seventeenth prince of the country?”
"Well... this... this is true." Gu Chan said awkwardly.
At that time, that brat Xuanyuan Qing deliberately tricked her. He did this just to use her to deal with the three major families in Zhongyuan City so as to raise military pay.
So she didn't take it seriously at all, and later dismissed it as a joke.
Bai Jingtian added, "The title of the seventeenth prince of Tiancang Kingdom is approved by the emperor. So now, if you succeed the second prince and become the leader of Jiangnan, then all of us in the second prince's party will become Now that we have become a party of seventeen princes, wouldn’t it be a bit embarrassing if the prince wants to touch all of us?”
"I'll go! Your uncle, your brain is really good! The second prince committed suicide. Damn it, you asked me to be the scapegoat, I will do it!" Gu Chan was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then she realized it. , and directly cursed her.
She had to admit that Bai Jingtian was a fucking thief, and he wanted to push her up against the prince.
You know, the prince is really cruel! Even her own second brother was not spared, and she pushed him to death, let alone her master, who had no relationship with the royal family of Tiancang Kingdom.
If she really agreed to Bai Jingtian now, the prince would definitely kill her in the future!
She is not that stupid!
At this time, Yan Xishan and Guo Huai seemed to have suddenly enlightened. They quickly crawled over, knelt down beside Bai Jingtian, and bowed to Gu Chanxing.
"My lord, Yan Xishan, the imperial censor of the Jiangnan capital, is willing to follow the seventeenth prince and be loyal to you."
"I, Guo Huai, the president of the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce, is also willing to follow the Seventeenth Prince and work for you till death."
"..." Gu Chan!
Dry!
These three bastards are really planning to put her on the rack.
Gu Chan retreated to the door, glared at the three people and shouted coldly, "Stop your delusions, I'm not stupid, I don't want to be the scapegoat! You can think of a way for yourself! Anyway, I have raised enough for the remaining three billion After the two sides rescued the bank, I will go back to Zhongyuan City. I have nothing to do with this place, so please don’t mess with me.”
After saying that, Gu Chan turned around and ran away, not daring to stay here too long.
The three of them stood up from the ground and did not chase after him.
Yan Xishan stared at Bai Jingtian and said, "Commander Bai, you are closer to him. Go and persuade him. The lives of everyone in the Second Prince Party in Jiangnan will be in your hands."
"It's useless. After spending this time together, I can see clearly that this kid is very stubborn. Now that we have to push him up to resist the crown prince, he will definitely not do it." Bai Jingtian said with a sullen face. .
"Then what should we do? The second prince committed suicide by taking poison. Once the news of his death spreads, we will definitely be doomed!" Yan Xishan spread his hands and said.
Guo Huai's eyes were firm as he said, "There is no other way now but to risk his life to get him. Otherwise, without the protection of the second prince, a royal prince, our Jiangnan area will inevitably usher in a great purge. Who will do it then?" Can’t live either.”
"Mr. Guo, what do you mean?" Yan Xishan asked.
"It's very simple. Mr. Yan, you unite all the officials from Jiangnan to submit a joint memorial to Kyoto. Tell the emperor that you are willing to follow the seventeenth prince, and ask the emperor to grant the Jiangnan area to the seventeenth prince as a fief. This will also make it difficult for the emperor. The prince has to be forced not to attack all of us easily," Guo Huai said with a livid face. This time, he finally didn't get confused. In order to save the lives of everyone in the Second Prince's Party in the Jiangnan area, he had a rare moment of sobriety.
But once he wakes up, it will be like directly driving Gu Chan to death.
Yan Xishan slapped his thigh and said, "Yes, Mr. Guo is right. Now we have to put all our efforts into it, otherwise no one will survive in the future."
"Commander Bai, what do you think?" Guo Huai asked.
Bai Jingtian said with a bitter face, "There is no other way. Right now, this is the best way to protect everyone in the Second Prince's Party. Let's do it like this! As for Gu Chan, I will lobby for it. This time I will just pester him." He must also agree.”
"The funeral of the second prince will be handled by Master Yan and I." Guo Huai nodded.
Yan Xishan promptly reminded him, "By the way, Commander Bai, the second prince promised Gu Chan this morning that after helping him save you all, he would repair Gu Chan's ruined temple. I suggest you find someone to help him repair the ruined temple first. It's better to start looking for him from this point, so as not to pester him and annoy him, and then he goes outside to the Dahuaxia, which will cause trouble. "
"Okay, I understand. I will find someone to help him repair the ruined temple." Bai Jingtian said.
Then he quickly ran out to find a group of people and went to help Gu Chan repair the ruined temple.
Yan Xishan and Guo Huai held funerals for Xuanyuan Lie in the Imperial Palace and posted notices announcing the death of the second prince who committed suicide by taking poison.
As the news spread, a sensation occurred in the Jiangnan area. All the second prince's followers were trembling with fear, and everyone was in danger.
All the people in the Jiangnan area were extremely confused. They couldn't understand why the second prince, who was in good condition, would commit suicide by taking poison.
Seven days later, when Xuanyuan Lie was buried, the news that he committed suicide by taking poison finally spread throughout the Tiancang Kingdom.
Among all the people in the Kyoto royal family, except for the old emperor and Xuanyuan Lie's mother and concubine, who were sad about this, basically everyone else in the royal family was secretly happy.
After all, there is one less person vying for the throne, so how can everyone still feel sad?
The happiest person was the current prince. The day after he learned the news, he sent his first general with one hundred thousand troops to the south of the Yangtze River on the grounds that he wanted to express his condolences to the second prince.
As this 100,000-strong army came in force, everyone in the Second Prince's Party in the Jiangnan area was frightened and hurried to the Censor's Mansion in Jiangnan City to find Yan Xishan to discuss countermeasures.
It was too late to escape now, and if they didn't run and were caught, they would definitely lose their heads, so these people didn't dare to run even if they wanted to, and could only hope that Yan Xishan would save everyone.
But Yan Xishan had no choice. As early as the afternoon when Xuanyuan Lie committed suicide by taking poison, he and Guo Huai wrote a long memorial in a hurry and sent someone to Kyoto.
It has been almost ten days since today, and there is still no news from Kyoto.
He could only wait and put all his hopes of survival on Gu Chan.
