Chapter Thirty-Three Kudivolen's Weakness
East of the imperial city, inside the Langya Palace.
Gao Yan threw the teacup heavily to the ground, and the fragments splashed and scattered all over the ground. "So, is Kudifulian unwilling to let Gu enter the palace to pacify?"
Gao Yan looked resentful. In the cabinet these days, he has been trying hard to gain power for himself, but it is useless. Gao Wei doesn't even have any birds. There are also a group of cabinet ministers, such as Zhao Yanshen, Gao Rui, and Feng Zicong, who have never seen him in person. Only Tang Yong are polite, but that's the case. He is polite but alienated, which means to draw a clear line.
Moreover, the subordinates of King Langya have been purged recently, and the government orders were issued in the name of King Langya, and the foundation of King Langya in the court was further damaged.
These speculative villains! Gao Yan was so angry that he picked up the teacup and threw it on the ground! He is the King of Langya! He is the right prime minister of the current dynasty! You don’t report all your government affairs to me, it’s obvious that you don’t take me seriously!
No! Gao Yan suddenly realized that he had to do something immediately, otherwise he would completely turn into fish on the chopping board and let Gao Wei slaughter it!
But now there are two important problems. First, Kudifulian is unwilling to stand with Gao Yan, and second, he is now still accused Wuming.
Only when the first problem is solved can he think about the second thing with confidence, otherwise everything will be a mirror and a moon!
When Gao Wei and Gao Yan's father Gao Zhan was alive, Gao Yan's power weakened and expelled him from the power center of the court. However, Gao Zhan was afraid that Gao Wei would attack Gao Yan in the future, so he entrusted Gao Yan to Kudifulian, the guard general of Qianqiu Gate.
The Kudifu Company had three thousand Xianbei warriors under his command. It can be said that this was one of the most capable troops from all over the Northern Qi Dynasty. It was of high quality and was all armed to the teeth. They were stationed at Qianqiu Gate and guarded the imperial city. If Gao Yan wanted to rebel, he had to pass the Kudifu Company's level.
However, Kudifulian only promised Gao Zhan to save his life when Gao Yan was in danger, but he did not promise that Gao Zhan would be Gao Yan's person from now on.
So Kudifulian turned a blind eye to Gao Yan's various hints and pretended not to hear them. If it weren't for agreeing to Emperor Wucheng, he would really want to take down Gao Yan, a traitor, immediately, but Kudifulian was a trustworthy person.
Gao Yan had no choice but to play Kudifulian's pretending to be stupid, so he could only jump and smash the cup here.
After a while, Hu Changren finally spoke: "Your Highness, don't worry, first. I think our method is wrong? Your Highness is so rash to find him. He may want to agree and refuse it because he is afraid of being suspicious of His Majesty. If it is not easy, we can still come to the dark."
Gao Yan's remaining anger was not gone, and he said angrily: "Has Gu not done this? Gu gave him a beautiful woman and land and wealth, but he gave him a lot of money to Gu! He just had no courage! Isn't it better to follow Gu than to work hard with Gao Wei?"
"Then, what about a high official and a generous salary?" Hu Changren thought he was smart enough to take out the three axes he had formed a cliché for personal gain. Lu Lingxuan sneered in secret. If this set could be won over to Kudifulian, there would be a ghost. Who wouldn't know that Kudifulian was famous for not entering the country and not invading water and fire. He had nothing in his eyes, only superior intentions and military laws! No matter how such a person used to win over bribes, it would be of no effect.
"..." Gao Yan looked at Hu Changren speechlessly. If it weren't for Hu Changren's important relationship with his next plan, he would have kicked out a teammate like Hu Changren!
"Your Highness, don't be in a hurry, you can't lure it for profit, then we can change the method and the same..."
"Oh?" Gao Yan was a little interested, looked at Lu Lingxuan with a burning look, and said, "I hope to hear the details."
Lu Lingxuan has already stood on Gao Yan's side, so he naturally has to take out some real things, otherwise once Gao Yan wins the throne, the status of the people on his side will be very embarrassing.
Gao Wei has already torn their faces against them and will be liquidated sooner or later when standing on Gao Wei's side. It would be better to follow the King of Langya to take a risk than to become a lamb to be slaughtered.
Anyway, many things happened to seize the throne in Northern Qi. Even if the court officials were dissatisfied later, it would be useless. King Langya had ascended the throne and sat in the hall, and no one could do anything to them anymore. Moreover, as Lu Lingxuan sees, King Langya still has a great chance of winning, and he just has one chance.
Lu Lingxuan said: "I once had a relationship with Kudifulian, and he asked me to take care of his niece in the palace..."
"Gao Wei and that woman are Kudifulian's niece? Why didn't Gu know?"
Lu Lingxuan said: "It's not Your Majesty's concubine, but an ordinary palace maid..."
Gao Yan raised his eyebrows in confusion, "Pretty maid? What is a palace maid worthy of attention?"
"Your Highness doesn't know that this palace maid is not an ordinary person, but a serious nobleman of the previous dynasty..."
Gao Yan changed color: "Is it the daughter of the former Wei?"
"Yes, Kudifulian is her nominal uncle, so Kudifulian frequently shows goodwill to me, just to let me protect her niece."
"So what?" Gao Yan naturally understood how huge the former Wei royal family had. In the eyes of some Xianbei people, the Northern Wei Tuoba-Yuan clan was sacred and supreme. If she had this identity, there would indeed be a large number of people willing to protect her openly and secretly. But for Gao Yan, that's it.
It should be noted that the royal family is also close and distant. The predecessor of the Northern Qi Dynasty, the Eastern Wei Dynasty, Gao Huan originally supported the grandson of Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty, Yuan Xiu, who was the serious orthodox Northern Wei Dynasty. However, Yuan Xiu later dissatisfied with Gao Huan's request to be a puppet, and ran to Guanzhong to join Yuwen Tai in anger. Gao Huan had no choice but to be suppressed by Yuwen Tai in name, so he supported a puppet emperor, which was Emperor Xiaojing Yuan Shanjian, who was the grandson of Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty and the son of Yuandan, the King of Wenxuan of Qinghe.
Not only is it the direct line, but it is just a side branch. In the eyes of those Xianbei people, who are higher and lower, so Gao Yang destroyed the Eastern Wei and destroyed it unscrupulously. On the contrary, when the Northern Zhou destroyed the Yuan royal family, it caused a lot of dissatisfaction. Why did he have such a completely different reaction when he killed the emperor? It was nothing else. In the eyes of the world, Yuan Xiu was the authentic Northern Wei bloodline.
It is true that Kudifulian's niece is from the Yuan clan, but it is just a side branch of the Yuan clan. It is not enough to explain anything and it is difficult to have any energy. So he doesn't think she can play any role.
Unexpectedly, Lu Lingxuan smiled mysteriously and said, "Yuan Xiu had a favorite concubine, Kudi. After Yuan Xiu fled to the Northern Zhou Dynasty, he had no time to take care of his favorite concubines, so these concubines were given to Emperor Xiaojing Yuan Shanjian by Emperor Shenwu. Kudi was already pregnant with six Jia at that time..."
Gao Weidong said, "You mean... that palace maid is actually the daughter of Emperor Yuanxiu?"
Lu Lingxuan smiled and said, "It's..."
Gao Wei took a breath of cold air. Who wouldn't know that the Yuan clan's appeal is huge among the Xianbei people, so when the Yuwen clan of Northern Zhou usurped the throne, he did not dare to leave any bloodlines, and killed all the direct royal families of Emperor Xiaowen. In other words, the real royal family of the Northern Wei Dynasty had no bloodlines!
But I didn’t expect..., I didn’t expect that Daqi actually had a real Yuan royal bloodline hidden in the palace!
Even Gao Yan was coveting the huge background contained in this woman. Getting her means getting support from the Xianbei! The most important thing is to get support from Kudifulian. He did not believe that Kudifulian would ignore the Northern Wei princess!
"Is there any way to get this girl out of the palace?" Gao Yan's eyes shone, and he couldn't wait.
Lu Lingxuan shook his head and said, "It's impossible..."
"Why?" Gao Yan frowned.
Lu Lingxuan just smiled and said, "The news came from the palace that His Majesty executed a female assassin a few days ago. The assassin was named Yuan Yun, and it was the Northern Wei princess..."
Gao Yan's face darkened, and then there was an uncontrollable look of ecstasy!
