Chapter 705 Secret Talk
In the lobby of the front yard of the General's Mansion.
After the four people came over, Gu Chan prepared to say goodbye to Zuo Wangfeng and his son, and took Yuan Jie back to help her improve her strength to cope with the fight seven days later.
But Zuo Wangfeng reached out to hold her back and said, "Let Yuan Jie go to Prince Chan's Mansion first. You stay and follow us to the study. I have something to discuss with you."
"Father-in-law, I helped you put out the fire in your backyard. Don't make things difficult for me anymore!" Gu Chan said with a smile.
She hasn't settled her own affairs yet, so naturally she doesn't want to go into the muddy waters of the General's Mansion again.
Zuo Yun persuaded, "It's right for you to stay and chat. Now that you have established a foothold in Kyoto, there are many things you don't understand. It won't do you any harm to get to know them better now."
"This..." Gu Chan was speechless.
After thinking about it carefully, she felt that there was nothing wrong with what Zuo Yun said.
At first, she didn't have a firm foothold in Kyoto, so she didn't dare to understand the big things behind Kyoto. Now she married Zuo Xin, became the son-in-law of the general's family, took over the Ministry of War, and started a business together with Zuo Yun. After fishing from the bottom of the water, we can also cooperate with some wealthy businessmen in Kyoto to sell wine.
Then whether it's status, strength, or ways to make money, it's considered a firm foothold.
Thinking like this, Gu Chan did not refuse anymore, and turned to Yuan Jie and said, "Then you go back and wait for me, and help Zuo Xin clean up the prince's dogs."
"Yes, Master." Yuan Jie said respectfully.
After saying that, she left first and rushed to Prince Chan's Mansion to help Zuo Xin.
Gu Chan followed Zuo Wangfeng and his son to the study at the back.
After the three of them arrived in the study, they locked the door from the inside, then sat down in a triangle shape to talk secretly.
Zuo Wangfeng said with a serious face, "Gu Chan, do you know why the prince dare not hold a coronation ceremony quickly and ascend to the throne?"
"Didn't they say before that the Imperial Master felt that the situation was not good, so he changed the enthronement ceremony to the Kowloon Star Chasing Day in half a month?" Gu Chan said, spreading his hands.
"No, this is just an excuse they made. The real reason is that all the forces in Kyoto are still in a state of separatism. The Crown Prince cannot win over these forces and will not be able to sit on the throne smoothly." Zuo Wang Fengchen Said loudly.
Gu Chan nodded repeatedly after hearing this.
Zuo Yun added, "I didn't tell you this before because you and we are not the same family, so I didn't dare to tell you easily, but now I can tell you with confidence and boldness."
"Aren't you afraid that I am not really interested in the prince, but want to stab you in the back?" Gu Chan said in a joking tone.
"Nonsense, you are not sincere towards the prince. We all know this. We choose to believe you because we think you have the strength to compete with the prince. Our Zuo family also needs to prepare a way out for ourselves, and you are ours. Way out." Zuo Yun sneered.
Gu Chan nodded in relief, and then realized that the father and son were far smarter than she thought. On the surface, they were looking towards the prince, but in fact, they couldn't see that the prince was unpopular and had to find a suitable escape route for themselves.
After understanding this, Gu Chan's worries dissipated and she breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Okay, if that's what you think, then I can feel at ease."
"Then listen carefully now, there are six forces in Kyoto today, the first are the princes and princesses; the second is the Jige; the third is the three kings in Kyoto; the fourth is the camp in Kyoto; the fifth is the six divisions in Kyoto; and the sixth is the Imperial Palace The Yin Yang Sect is now in hand. There are only the Kyoto Camp and the Yin Yang Sect of the Imperial Prefecture, so there are still four forces that he cannot handle. This is the most direct reason why he imprisoned the princes and princesses first and was eager to capture the Six Divisions of Kyoto. "Zuo. Wang Feng explained.
Gu Chan frowned and said, "I understand, among the remaining four forces, only the Six Divisions of Kyoto are the easiest to win, so he picked the weak one first, but in the end he controlled the Six Divisions. The six princes refused to give him all their orders, which is why he wanted to use me to contain the six princes. ”
"Yes, you are right. The third prince is smarter and saw through the Crown Prince's scheme in advance. He took the initiative to find you and gave you the order from the Ministry of War. But now the order from the Ministry of War has disappeared, disrupting the Crown Prince's plan. , otherwise he would have already started to attack other departments," Zuo Wangfeng said solemnly.
Gu Chan laughed, extremely happy.
If she hadn't been smart before and sent Mo Qilin and Jiaolong to sneak into the palace, beat up Yanli, and steal the Ministry of War orders, I'm afraid the other five departments would have been poisoned by the prince long ago.
So in this case, she did a good thing and slowed down the progress of the prince's attack on the six tribes. It is no wonder why the fifth prince is also willing to find him.
Since the Six Parts are all hot potatoes for the six princes, why not throw them out and let Gu Chan fight the prince. Wouldn't it be fun for them to just sit on the mountain and watch the fight between tigers and tigers?
Thinking of this, Gu Chan said with a bad smile, "Then what do you mean by what you said to me today?"
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
"Gu Chan, haven't you noticed yet? Now you have the strength to compete with the prince. Instead of wandering around among various forces to get the best of you, you might as well open up and combine forces, and directly take over the forces you can. This way you will have the capital to stand out among the others in Kyoto in the future, otherwise if you die one day, Xin'er and my Zuo family will be implicated," Zuo Wangfeng said sincerely.
The smile on Gu Chan's face disappeared and she fell into silence.
Zuo Wangfeng struck while the iron was hot and said, "Now I not only have to worry about my daughter, but also the entire Zuo family. If I don't care for you, I'm afraid my Zuo family's life will not be very good in the future."
"Gu Chan, my father's intention is obvious. While he is helping the prince, he will also help you. When the time comes, the Zuo family will choose between you and the prince. If you are not tough enough, when necessary, Don't blame me, the Zuo family, for abandoning you." Zuo Yun said in a deep voice.
Gu Chan's heart pounded as she realized the importance of the situation.
From now on, I'm afraid she really won't be able to play tricks like before. She must be serious and strong. Otherwise, as the father and son said, one day she will fall and she will be able to stand up again. It’s getting even harder.
Zuo Wangfeng reached out and patted Gu Chan on the shoulder and said, "That's the end of today's confidential talk. I've made it clear to you what needs to be said. You go back and think about it yourself. What to do in the future is all in your mind."
"Okay, father-in-law, thank you for your advice. I will think about it carefully when I get back." Gu Chan stood up and saluted with clasped fists respectfully.
After saying that, she immediately turned and left.
Zuo Wangfeng and Zuo Yun looked at each other, with solemn expressions on their faces.
