Chapter 197 Solicitation
In the carriage, the eldest prince Ji Nian had a handsome face and long narrow eyes. He was wearing a bright yellow robe, a bit forceful, and he was looking back and forth at Gu Chen.

Seeing this, Gu Chen stood there without saying a word, pretending not to know each other.

Seeing this, the eldest prince Ji Nian raised his brows, narrowed his long and narrow eyes slightly, looked at Gu Chen, and said, "You don't recognize me?"

Gu Chen pretended to be puzzled, and said, "Your Excellency?"

Hearing this, the First Prince said blankly, "Ji Nian!"

Gu Chen "suddenly realized", and said: "It turned out that the eldest prince was in person. I don't know why the eldest prince is looking for an official?"

Seeing that Gu Chen finally recognized him, the eldest prince said with a dark expression, "Sit down and talk."

Immediately, Gu Chen was not polite, and sat down on the side without hesitation. Seeing this, the eldest prince Ji Nian frowned slightly, but he didn't say much.

He knew his purpose, so although the eldest prince was a little displeased with Gu Chen's rude actions, he still reluctantly accepted it.

He said: "You just returned to Tiandu?"

Gu Chen nodded, and said: "The eldest prince dressed up like this and left the palace. He came to Gu's mansion to look for me. I don't know what is the matter?"

The eldest prince was expressionless, and said, "Do you know what happened in Tiandu a while ago?"

"What is the eldest prince referring to?" Gu Chen looked at him.

The eldest prince frowned slightly, he felt that Gu Chen was playing stupid with him, but he still held back his impatience and said, "Father's matter of crossing the catastrophe!"

Gu Chen nodded, and said: "The matter of the Emperor's crossing the catastrophe is now spreading all over the world. Who in the entire Kyushu doesn't know, who doesn't know?"

The eldest prince Ji Nian nodded and said, "What's your opinion on this matter?"

Hearing this, Gu Chen shook his head with a smile and said, "The eldest prince thinks highly of me too much, this is a state matter, what can I express?"

The eldest prince nodded slightly, as if he was very satisfied with Gu Chen's attitude, he said: "We Ming people don't speak secretly, although you belong to Jing Tiansi, you are not an outsider, you are all servants of my Ji family, Doing business for my Ji family, let me ask you, what do you think will happen to the Kyushu if the emperor disappears?"

Gu Chen seemed to have guessed something vaguely in his heart, and said: "The world is in chaos."

"Not bad!"

The eldest prince said in a deep voice: "Father disappeared after the catastrophe. Although the crown prince and Duke Huai are hiding the news, they can hide it for a while, but they can't hide it for a lifetime. This matter will be exposed sooner or later. Once When Da Yuan and the barbarians learned about this, they will definitely not let go of this opportunity, and they will immediately send troops to attack Da Xia!"

Gu Chen looked calm, looked at the eldest prince, and said, "What exactly does Your Highness want to say?"

The eldest prince smiled faintly and said, "What do you think of my fourth brother?"

The "fourth younger brother" he called was the current Prince Daxia, who ranked fourth among all the princes.

Gu Chen shook his head, and said: "How noble is the crown prince's status, how can I judge it at will? The eldest prince should stop joking with the lower officials."

The eldest prince had a cold face, narrowed his long and narrow eyes slightly, and said, "I know my younger brother's disposition most clearly. He is timid and indecisive, and he doesn't have the look and courage that a royal family and a prince should have at all!"

"But since my father chose him as the prince before retreating, I naturally have no complaints. After all, the world was peaceful and peaceful at that time. Moreover, if my father was promoted to the realm of heaven and man, the entire Kyushu would also It will be unified because of this, it doesn't matter who is the emperor, but now it is different!"

Hearing this, Gu Chen frowned immediately, and said, "Eldest Prince, as a member of the royal family, I'm afraid it's not appropriate for you to say these things to me?"

"Not appropriate? Why not appropriate?" The eldest prince Ji Nian looked at Gu Chen with a half-smile. He was not afraid that Gu Chen would spread the words he said today.

After all, what is Gu Chen's status, what is his status, how dare Gu Chen spread these words?

Even if Gu Chen spread the word, as long as he tried his best to deny it, who would believe it?

Now that Great Xia is in troubled times, the Crown Prince and Duke Huai have no energy to take care of him, but in the eyes of the First Prince, this is his best chance!

Otherwise, once the prince ascends the throne after a while, it will be difficult for him to do anything.

And the reason why the eldest prince came to Gu Chen today was to attract Gu Chen.

After all, even he had heard about Gu Chen's reputation and talent. Seeing him today, his reputation was indeed well-deserved, which made him love talents and wanted to recruit Gu Chen into his subordinates to work for him.

The eldest prince said: "My younger brother's talent in martial arts is really bad. Even if he inherited one-tenth of his father's talent, he wouldn't be like this. When the world is peaceful, if he becomes the Emperor of Taiping, then I have nothing to say. But now, Kyushu is about to fall into chaos, Da Xia desperately needs someone who is as top-notch in martial arts and martial arts as the father, who will come to Ding Kyushu and pacify the world!"

Hearing this, Gu Chen said lightly, "The eldest prince thinks that you can do everything you just said?"

The eldest prince said: "I dare not say that I will definitely be able to do it, but I will definitely do much better than what my fourth brother is doing now!"

His tone was extremely confident, obviously looking down on the actions of the present prince.

The eldest prince Ji Nian, who is thirty-two this year, has shown a very good martial arts talent since he was a child, and with the support of various resources from the royal family, now, he already has the cultivation level of the Realm Realm, and has achieved the status of a real person!
With such strength, it is no wonder that he is so proud of the present prince.

In this point, the crown prince is indeed far inferior to him, but, back then, Emperor Xia felt that the eldest prince was too indifferent, selfish and self-willed, and would definitely not be a wise king after he ascended the throne. lean towards the former.

Therefore, before sitting on the death pass, Emperor Xia chose to let the crown prince succeed him instead of the eldest prince.

But now, Emperor Xia has disappeared, and the world is about to be in chaos. The eldest prince suddenly has an idea, he wants to seize power!

For a long time, in his eyes, the crown prince is inferior to him in every way, so the position of emperor of Great Xia in the future should naturally belong to him!
However, Gu Chen, who has seen the eldest prince with his own eyes, does not think so. He has seen the prince, and feels that compared to the elder prince in front of him, even if the prince has some flaws in character, he is too soft-hearted and hesitant, but he is still better than the elder prince in front of him. Too much.

Without him, it's just because, when Emperor Xia disappeared, Great Xia was about to fall into turmoil, internal troubles and external troubles, he didn't want to help the crown prince and Duke Huai to stabilize the situation, but turned against him and was planning for himself, such a person However, if he became the Emperor of Great Xia, the kingdom of Great Xia that lasted for more than 500 years would most likely be ruined because of this!
Moreover, Gu Chen could tell from the words and demeanor of the eldest prince in front of him that he was an extremely selfish person. If such a person became the emperor, the common people in this world would suffer.

No wonder, Emperor Xia didn't choose him back then, but chose the present prince.

As for the other princes, they are even worse. They are some distance away from the eldest prince and the crown prince, and it is even more unrealistic to compete for the position of emperor.

The eldest prince looked at Gu Chen, and said lightly: "Now, I will give you a chance to surrender to me. If I succeed in the future, you will have the power to support the dragon. Not to mention you, the entire Gu family will prosper because of it, at least strong For hundreds of years, he has become one of the big Xia dignitaries!"

But Gu Chen will not be tempted by these promises of his, this is a bad check, Gu Chen can't tell that the eldest prince is making a cake for him.

Therefore, without even thinking about it, Gu Chen refused: "Sorry, Your Highness, this kind of thing is not something that I, a little Jing Tiansi, can get involved in. Your Highness thinks highly of me."

Seeing that Gu Chen rejected him without hesitation, the eldest prince's face sank, his narrow eyes narrowed, and a certain incomprehensible light flashed in his eyes.

Immediately, without waiting for the eldest prince to say anything more, after Gu Chen said his farewell, he turned around and got out of the carriage. He already didn't want to hear the eldest prince chatting with him anymore, and Gu Chen didn't have that time.

Seeing Gu Chen leave, the First Prince did not stop him, but his complexion became more and more gloomy, and he was in an extremely bad mood.

Afterwards, that middle-aged man with a feminine temperament came in. He was the eldest prince's confidant, and seeing the eldest prince's complexion was not good, he knew the ending.

"Hmph! Sure enough, I'm the same as Chen Yu, they're all ignorant bastards, mud legs!"

The eldest prince's face was cold and hard, he was very angry, and said: "If I ascend the throne, I will kill all of you rebellious officials and thieves!"

"Your Highness, let's now..." The father-in-law stopped hiding and asked in a shrill voice.

"Back to the palace!"

The eldest prince said coldly, before he came, he thought that Gu Chen was a sensible person, and he personally invited him out of the palace. No matter who he is, he should be grateful for this. In the eyes of the eldest prince, Gu Chen should leave without saying a word. Just agree to come down and kneel down to show your loyalty to him.

But this Gu Chen didn't even ask about the conditions, and he was extremely disrespectful to him in words and actions. To the First Prince, Gu Chen was already blacklisted in his mind.

"As long as you stay in Daxia for a day, I will have a way to deal with you!" The eldest prince thought in his heart.

……

Royal Palace.

At this moment, the crown prince and King Huai gathered a group of officials to discuss about Ananda.

During this period of time, Ananda not only used the Buddha's light to influence thousands of people to become his believers, but also defeated countless heavenly warriors.

Even, Ananda has recently made a lot of nonsense, saying that he wants to challenge the masters of the Great Xia, and wants to weigh the weight of these martial arts talents in the Great Xia.

Every one of these things is a disgrace to Daxia.

If it continues like this and is left alone, how will the people of the world view Daxia?

Don't talk about the follow-up, just say that now, the news is about to reach the inner city of Tiandu, and the people are talking about it. I don't know why Daxia allows a grassland monk to be so presumptuous in Tiandu.

At this moment, the crown prince looked at the officials and said in a deep voice: "Aiqings, can you deal with that madman?"

In any case, the battle of Tiandu has greatly increased the prestige and momentum of Dayuan and Ananda, which is not what Daxia wants to see.

At this time, Chen Yuanli, Minister of the Ministry of War, came out and said: "Your Highness, my lord, that young monk is from the state religion of Dayuan. He is a disciple of the Dragon Elephant Buddhist Sect in Daxue Mountain. True body, ordinary people will never be his all-in-one enemy."

The meaning of his words is that Daxia and Ananda are of the same age or even the same realm, and it is impossible for him to be Ananda's opponent.

After all, the crown prince, Duke Huai, and the princes and ministers all knew a little about the legend of the living Buddha's reincarnation.

Hearing this, the prince was a little annoyed, and said: "Could it be that there isn't a young hero in such a big city as that monk's opponent, is it really necessary for the palace to mobilize manpower from other state capitals?!"

Chen Yuanli and other ministers and dignitaries heard the words, but they were all speechless. The Daxueshan Dragon Elephant Buddhist Sect was split from the Sumi Buddhist Sect, one of the six holy places, and the other party was the reincarnation of the living Buddha. Looking for someone who can fight him?
Even in other state capitals, it is impossible to have one.

It is not impossible for Daxia to defeat Ananda, but his age is much older than Ananda. In this way, even if he defeats Ananda, it will be extremely embarrassing.

"My Great Xia, is there no Tianjiao who can be the opponent of Ananda? Is it necessary to let the opponent stand there to show off his might, and I can only hide in this palace and watch?!" The prince gritted his teeth. , obviously extremely angry with Ananda's behavior during this period of time.

If it wasn't for the obstruction of those people, the prince would have sent someone to drive Ananda away.

Of course, even without those common people, if the crown prince dares to leave Ananda, he will reveal Daxia’s weakness. Only by defeating can the momentum that Daxia lost during this period be restored.

At the same time, it can also hit the opponent's arrogance.

But the difficulty now is that there is no such suitable candidate in Daxia.

The Daxue Mountain Dragon Elephant Buddhist Sect, inherited from ancient times, the reincarnation of the Living Buddha, plus the real body of the Dragon Elephant, these four points add up, not to mention the capital of heaven, even in other state capitals, no one will be Ananda's opponent.

Even looking at the whole world, including those martial arts talents in the Jianghu, there may not be anyone who can compete with them in the same realm.

Nowadays, many officials in Tiandu who have learned the inside story are already feeling upset. If this continues, the popularity and power that Daxia has accumulated over the years because of Emperor Xia will be cut off a lot.

The princes and ministers in the palace hall were also extremely distressed by this, and they naturally knew the purpose of Da Yuan's plan, but now that it has really worked, it is difficult for them to deal with it.

"Uncle Huang, do you have a solution?" The prince had no choice but to look at Duke Huai.

Everyone knows that Duke Huai cherishes talents, and Duke Huai has indeed helped many people, including some martial arts talents, but none of these people can compare with Ananda.

Looking at the entire Kyushu, Ananda is the best, after all, the other party is the reincarnation of the Living Buddha.

Immediately, the palace hall was gloomy, the prince gritted his teeth, clenched and loosened his palms several times, feeling both angry and powerless about this matter.

At this time, suddenly an old figure stood up, it was Liang Guogong, he said: "His Royal Highness and the prince, I have someone to recommend."

The prince was overjoyed when he heard the words, even Duke Huai cast his gaze, not knowing who he was talking about.

"Mr. Liang, tell me, who is this person?" The prince asked eagerly, not even caring that he was losing his composure.

Duke Liang's expression was solemn when he heard the words, and he slowly said two words.

"Gu Chen!"
