Changsun Wuji said after listening to An Jing for a long time, "Did Your Majesty mean that the Supreme Emperor help Gu Qing deal with His Majesty?"

"No." Li Chengqian shook his head.

"What does Your Majesty mean?" Changsun Wuji observed Li Chengqian.

Sitting in the courtyard of Changsun’s house, the breeze that had just begun to fall was a little cold. Li Chengqian said again, “I don’t know what I’m talking about now. I feel very panicked. After I come back from where my father is, I don’t sit or stand, I feel very confused.”

"I understand." Changsun Wuji said again, "In fact, it is not so difficult to think about. The reason why the Supreme Emperor did this is not because of other things. Everyone sees the interests of the sea trade. It is better to give it to his own royal family than to leave it to outsiders to manage it. Three legitimate sons, one is firmly sitting in the imperial court, one is sitting in the academy, and the other is mastering the sea trade. This is the best and safest choice between His Majesty and Gu Qing."

"Of course, Your Majesty wants to trade in the sea and not let the King of Jin masters master. I can figure it out, but if Your Majesty wants to take over, it is not as safe as the royal family's own people to take over."

"But it was Gu Qing's idea to let Zhinu take charge of the sea trade."

"This is Gu Qing's cleverness." Changsun Wuji smiled and said, "Some of the abandonment of interests is more beneficial than disadvantages to Gu Qing. It is not to use His Highness King Jin or to gain the trust of the royal family. Instead, His Highness King Jin was led by Gu Qing. Gu Qing has known His Highness King Jin best for so many years. Although he didn't say it, His Highness King Jin is Gu Qing's disciple and Gu Qing's most concerned disciple. This concern is not even comparable to Di Renjie. His Highness King Jin is Gu Qing's disciple and the son of the Supreme Emperor. Does Your Majesty understand the truth now?"

Li Chengqian remained silent.

Changsun Wuji shook his head and sighed, "It seems that Gu Qing is His Majesty's inner demon."

"He is indeed my inner demon." Li Chengqian whispered.

"Your Majesty always thinks that the Supreme Emperor takes care of Gu Qing in all things, but ignores His Majesty and even suppresses His Majesty. He does not take care of his son but helps Gu Qing as an outsider in all things. So His Majesty feels very painful and even more uncomfortable, right?"

"Does my uncle think I'm very narrow-minded?"

"What do you think?" Changsun Wuji asked.

Li Chengqian remained silent again.

"All this will start from the night of the Daming Palace." Changsun Wuji continued, "Your Majesty made Gu Qing the prime minister just to protect the country, and to compromise Gu Qing is also to protect His Majesty."

"Protect me?"

"That's right." Changsun Wuji said again, "I have heard about the things that happened at the beginning. Gu Qing will rebel against His Majesty for the sake of Princess Gaoyang's child. Your Majesty knows Gu Qing's obsession with his family, which is also Gu Qing's biggest bottom line. If only one of them can be left between the royal family and the Gu family, Your Majesty thinks that the royal family has a chance of winning."

Li Chengqian's brows jumped.

"Gu Qing has the ability to make firearms and even cultivate power himself. No one knows how many people will work hard for Gu Qing, but the Gu family's words can shut down half of the Chang'an City. How many poor students will lose a place to study after the academy destroyed? How many people will lose their jobs if the factory is destroyed? It's been ten years! How many people have become accustomed to the existence of the Gu family in the past ten years. Without Gu Qing's development in the entire Chang'an will even regress for many years. From that night in the Daming Palace, Gu Qing broke the window paper and took down the mask in front of the royal family for the first time. He has the strength to challenge the royal family."

"This Gu Qing's wolf ambition!" Li Chengqian gritted his teeth.

"To be honest, Gu Qing can survive to this situation, and the support of the Supreme Emperor is indispensable. Gu Qing made great contributions. He was powerful and killed in all directions, and the border countries were terrified. Gu Qing's actions were like a man who slaughtered Bai Qi and Wei Qing."

"What end did Bai Qi end up? What happened to Wei Qing, who was under Emperor Wu of Han, in the end? Your Majesty should know in his heart." Changsun Wuji continued, "But Gu Qing is not Bai Qi or Wei Qing. He doesn't have much loyalty to the emperor and serve the country. I still remember that ten years ago, this boy said righteously that he just wanted to be a rich man. This is also the most clever thing about Gu Qing. If Gu Qing said this on purpose, then Gu Qing's mind when he was a child would be too mature, and he was not as mature as a boy."

"The Supreme Emperor is an emperor. It was not easy for him to get this position. He killed his brother and threatened his father before he took the position. He knew that this tragedy could not repeat the same mistake. At the end of the great cause, the world was in chaos, and how many people were displaced and how many people died on the battlefield. This is what he didn't want to see again. He didn't want the war in the Central Plains again. He said too much that he was a father. In order to protect his children's father, he did not want the Gu family to rebel against the royal family, and he did not want his most proud minister to set off a bloody storm in the Central Plains again."

"Your Majesty is still young after all. He knows that you will not be Gu Qing's opponent."

Li Chengqian clenched his fists tightly.

"Let Gu Qing be the prime minister, let Gu Qing cover the sky with one hand, and let Gu Qing underestimate His Majesty. This is all his permission. It is not for anything, it is to keep Your Majesty's position, and to protect your children. Once the Gu family rebelled, does Your Majesty think the royal family can really win? Does Your Majesty think he is Gu Qing's opponent? The aristocratic family has fallen, which means that the entire Central Plains forces are greatly damaged. The Gu family is the first family in the Central Plains. We know what the relationship between the Li family and Gu Qing in Zhao County is! Even if Gu Qing doesn't win, it will be a loss. Even if you lose, you will suffer a loss. Who would know what kind of killing weapon Gu Qing has, a firearm that is more powerful than explosives. In the battle of Tubo, the 800,000 troops were defeated by Gu Qing. Does Your Majesty think that the Supreme Emperor is not afraid of Gu Qing?"

"This is a big open conspiracy. It's not that the Supreme Emperor doesn't help His Majesty, but that the Supreme Emperor would rather compromise than make Gu Qing confront the royal family. The world cannot be in chaos anymore. The blood of the people of the Central Plains has long since flowed out." Changsun Wuji said very excitedly and kept coughing.

"Uncle, be careful of your health."

Changsun Wuji took a sip of hot tea, "The Supreme Emperor did this only out of the painstaking efforts of a father. I hope Your Majesty understands and hopes that Your Majesty cherishes the opportunities given by the Supreme Emperor. I would like to say more, Gu Qing's prime minister will not be long, and he will leave one day. The children of the Gu family will not enter the court again in the future. Before Gu Qing leaves, Your Majesty must be prepared and be prepared to take over the government. This is also Your Majesty's only chance."

"Opportunity? Gu Qing will leave, when will he leave, ten years? twenty years? or longer."
