At this moment in Sijiu City, after the court session ended, Chen Tinghua and his son Chen Shouye boarded Gu Xingyuan's carriage back to Prince Chen's Palace.

In the carriage, Chen Shouye angrily slapped the wall of the carriage and was about to complain angrily, but Gu Xingyuan raised his hand to stop him and said coldly: "Cousin, this is on the street!"

Chen Shouye turned his face away angrily, his fists clenched so hard that they made a creaking sound. He just couldn't swallow this humiliation.

Chen Tinghua glanced at him and said, "It's already this late, and you're still losing your temper! Just now at the morning court, if I hadn't protected you, do you think Gu Xingcheng would have spared you?"

"How dare he! He has only been on the throne for a few days, yet he dares to attack my Chen family."

"How dare you? He is also the emperor! I have only 24 out of the 26 guards left in just a few days. Haven't you experienced the methods of this emperor?"

"Also, who told you to take the initiative and let Fu Sanquan say those words? Do you have a brain?"

"Grandfather, I, I did that for the good of the Third Prince."

"What are you talking about? What did your grandfather teach you? You have learned so much! Zhaoguo killed so many people from Daliang. Now we have to unite against the enemy. But you are so good. You let him say such nonsense!"

Gu Xingyuan said coldly: "Fu Sanquan himself is also a brainless person."

Only then did Chen Shouye shut up in disappointment.

As soon as Ke Ren entered the gate of Prince Chen's Mansion, Chen Shouye was so angry that he kicked the pillar of the corridor. The pillar was made of stones. The pain made Chen Shouye gasp and spin around in place, holding his leg.

"Someone, someone, come and smash this broken column for me, smash it!"

"Whose house are you going to smash the pillars of? Chen Shouye, just shut up." Chen Tinghua was so angry that he stepped forward and slapped Chen Shouye on the forehead.

Chen Shouye was slapped so hard that tears were about to come out. He covered his forehead with one hand and his leg with the other, like a clown in an opera.

Gu Xingyuan's eyebrows twitched violently, and he was extremely angry. If his grandfather didn't have such a good-for-nothing grandson, how could he, Gu Xingyuan, still be in a situation inferior to the Shu mother and son.

They are all as stupid as pigs and will only hold him back.

Chen Tinghua also didn't want to take care of his grandson, but his eldest son had been weak since childhood and it was common for him to faint for two or three days, so he could only be a civil servant.

But if you want to have real power and make people fear you, you must have soldiers in your hands.

Fortunately, the eldest son is smart and can come up with some plans and strategies.

The future of the Chen family can only be entrusted to this incompetent eldest grandson.

He waved his hand and asked the servants to help Chen Shouye to the study.

When they got to the study, Gu Xingyuan sent all the servants out. Chen Shouye's feet didn't hurt as much anymore. He covered his face which was swollen from being hit by Chen Tinghua and said, "Grandfather, you can't just hand over the 60,000 troops in your hands to Gu Xingyan like this."

Chen Tinghua's face darkened: "That is an imperial decree. Not giving it to me is disobeying the decree!"

"Pah! What a sickly bastard! I wonder how long he can sit on the throne!"

"Cousin, be careful with your words!" Gu Xingyuan glanced outside the study. No servant in the mansion dared to approach his study without his order, but who could guarantee that no one of Gu Xingcheng's people had sneaked into his Prince Chen's Mansion.

Chen Shouye sat down with a slump: "Your Highness Prince Chen, don't tell me to be careful with your words. This matter was originally arranged unreasonably by my aunt. How could she pin all her hopes on Song Yafeng alone? There are so many eunuchs and maids in her palace, and she didn't take any other precautions. Otherwise, at this time, what would happen to the Shu family mother and son? The person sitting on the dragon throne today is you!"

Gu Xingyuan slammed his palm heavily on the armrest of the chair and shouted angrily: "Chen Shouye, how dare you! How can you arrange things about my mother as you please!"

Chen Tinghua glanced at Chen Shoulai coldly: "I still don't know what to say and what not to say. If it weren't for your Majesty, you would have lost your life long ago!"

"Ancestor..."

"Okay, let's talk business. Since Gu Xingcheng has issued an imperial decree, we must give him these 60,000 troops."

Chen Shouye was about to say something, but was glared at by Gu Xingyuan.

"But how to give these 60,000 people and to whom to give them? There is a trick. Your Highness, this is what I think..."

A vicious conspiracy unfolded in the study of Prince Chen's mansion.

After hearing this, Chen Shouye clapped his hands and said, "Great, great, great. In this way, even if Gu Xingyan is Erlang Shen who has descended to the earth, he can only go there and never come back!"

Chen Tinghua said angrily, "Especially you, you must not tell anyone about this. You stay in the mansion for the next two days."

Chen Shouye shrugged indifferently. It was impossible for him to stay in the mansion. The new girl Xiaotao from Yihong Courtyard was waiting for him to deflower her tomorrow.

Similarly, after Gu Xingcheng returned to the imperial study, he kept Xiaojiu.

Gu Xingyan hurriedly asked someone to invite Doctor Qiao.

Gu Xingcheng waved his hand to indicate that it was okay. "Xiaojiu, brother is still worried. How about this? I will send General Liang to you. You can worship him as your military advisor. If you have any questions, just ask him. General Liang has experienced hundreds of battles. Although he is not invincible, he is also a famous general in Daliang."

Gu Xingyan knew what his brother was worried about and nodded: "Okay."

"Even if Chen Tinghua gives you his 60,000 men, they are not that obedient. Have you thought about what to do? Someone just reported that Chen Tinghua and his grandson followed the third son to the Chen Palace."

"Don't worry, my brother. I know what I'm doing. Not only will I make these 60,000 men obey me, but I will also make them infiltrate the other 80,000 troops of the 24th Guard Camp after they return to the capital."

Seeing that his brother nodded confidently, Gu Xingcheng did not ask any more questions since the decree had already been issued to appoint Xiaojiu as the commander-in-chief.

He always trusts Xiaojiu.

Seeing his brother cough twice, Gu Xingyan took the tea and handed it to him: "Yesterday, I heard from Eunuch Su that you rested after midnight again? Brother, your health is not good to begin with, you must not work so hard. State affairs are important, but not as important as your health."

Gu Xingcheng glared at Su Chaoquan, who shrank his head like an old quail and took two small steps back to the corner.

"I have had this disease since I was born. I know what's going on. You are out there fighting, so don't worry about me. How did you ever think of becoming a commander? Ava was named the Great General of Guo Zhao. He has fought countless battles and never lost a single one. He is not that easy to deal with."

"Brother, let me tell you about the dream I had last night. After you hear my dream, you can make a decision."

Gu Xingcheng was stunned. It was already this late, why was he still thinking about talking about his dream? What decision could a dream make?

But since he had said it, he smiled and said, "Okay, you talk, and I'll listen."

Regarding his previous life, Gu Xingyan could only speak through dreams. He would be away from Sijiu City for a long time, and his brother must prepare for some things in advance, so as not to be taken advantage of by Chen's mother and son and the Chen family.
