In three days, Gu Chen only walked out of the training room once. After meeting Fatty, Fifth Tribulation and Ling Meixin, he returned to the training room.
For three days of practice, Gu Chen not only completely refined the 370 drops of spiritual essence in his body, but also used the spiritual power in the practice room to practice.
Let his cultivation level break through to the second level of the War Emperor Realm in one fell swoop.
"Dong dong dong!"
On this day, there was a knock on the door. When I walked out of the training room, the fifth flower was outside the door.
Seeing Gu Chen, Fifth Duoan nodded slightly and said directly: "The Third Prince is here. He is now in the palace. Let me invite Mr. Gu to come over."
"Um."
Gu Chen nodded, and the two of them immediately left Wuling Palace and went straight to Zhenbei Prince's Mansion.
In the palace hall, the third prince was already waiting.
And except for the third prince, there is no one else.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Gu. There are too many people outside to see Mr. Gu in person. I can only bother him to come see me."
Seeing Gu Chen, the third prince walked directly down from his seat, came to Gu Chen, and slightly bowed his hands to Gu Chen.
"understand!"
Gu Chen nodded.
He knew very well that his current situation was somewhat special.
He was almost certain that what happened on the battlefield had been reported back to the imperial city.
Even the emperor may have known that Gu Chen led his troops to save the young prince instead of saving the eldest prince.
If he were in the imperial city now, he would have been captured and imprisoned long ago.
If the third prince comes to see him, and is taken advantage of by someone with ulterior motives, he is likely to fall into the rumor of "colluding with Gu Chen and plotting to kill the eldest prince."
Rumors can sometimes kill people!
And it's not just him, I'm afraid now, even Zhenbei Palace is under the emperor's suspicion.
It is precisely for this reason that the emperor has never made a decision on matters in the north.
Because the court could not confirm at all whether the Zhenbei Palace would still obey the court's orders.
"His Royal Highness the Third Prince, Mr. Gu, you guys want to talk first. I will take my leave for now. If you need anything, you can call me at any time!"
Fifth Duoan said and exited the hall.
In the main hall, only Gu Chen and the third prince were left.
Looking at the third prince, Gu Chen smiled faintly: "I thought that His Highness might not dare to come to Zhenbei Palace."
"If it's an invitation from the Prince of Zhenbei, maybe I should consider it, but since Mr. Gu is here, I don't need to have any worries."
The third prince chuckled and shook his head, then motioned for Gu Chen to sit down and said.
He himself did not sit back on the main seat, but also pulled a chair and sat down next to Gu Chen.
After sitting down, Gu Chen asked: "Has everything on the battlefield been reported back to the court?"
"Um."
The third prince nodded and said: "But there is no need to worry, Mr. Gu. The battlefield situation is changing rapidly. It is not up to you to decide who can be saved. The defeat of the eldest prince was purely due to the eldest prince's incompetence in leading the army. He was defeated and died in battle." , no one can blame you!”
Gu Chen raised his eyes slightly: "Oh? Is it your Highness, the Third Prince, who thinks so, or does everyone in the court think so?"
"This is true throughout the court."
The third prince said: "Of course, there are still doubts, so after receiving your secret letter, I personally invited Miao to come to the royal city to find out the truth."
Gu Chen nodded: "Others do not dare to come, but His Highness the Third Prince dares to come in person, which will definitely improve His Highness's reputation in the court."
"Isn't this what Mr. Gu wants me to do?"
The third prince smiled lightly.
When the two met, it was like meeting old friends, without too much restraint.
The third prince also had no princely airs at all, and Gu Chen was also very indifferent.
While talking, the third prince stood up and walked back to the main seat. He brought tea on the table and poured it for Gu Chen.
While pouring water, he said: "But I know that the death of the eldest prince was more intentional on your part, Mr. Gu."
Gu Chen did not answer the third prince's words. After the third prince poured the tea, Gu Chen took it and took a slow sip. Then he said: "Isn't this what His Highness wants to see?"
The third prince shook his head slightly and sighed: "I do want the crown prince position, but I have never thought about letting the eldest prince die."
The position of the prince is related to the future emperor's position and is very important.
But after all, the eldest prince is his biological brother and a compatriot from the same mother.
The two grew up together. Although as they grew older, the conflict between the two became more and more serious, and later they even regarded each other as enemies, but after all, they were still brothers.
Gu Chen shook his head and said: "Your Highness, this is not kindness, but a woman's kindness, which is not advisable!"
If you want to be the crown prince, if you want to ascend to the throne of an emperor, how can you get to the throne if you have the kindness of a woman!
The throne of the prince or the throne of the emperor, which one does not need to be fought for with one's life?
Maybe if you are kind, you will be the one who dies!
"Whether it's kindness or a woman's benevolence, just one word of benevolence is enough when facing the world!"
The third prince shook his head and said: "I am the third prince of the royal family. I am different from the young master. The young master can be happy with his grudges, but I can't! No matter what I do, I must carefully consider and consider it!"
"Those who are born into the royal family and may be able to control the world in the future need to be even more responsible for their words and deeds!"
"My wish for the emperor is not about power or the sense of achievement of dominating the world, but about mission. My mission in this world!"
While speaking, the third prince stood up slowly while holding a cup of tea, as if he was talking to Gu Chen or to himself:
"I have no ambition to conquer the world, nor do I have the ambition to let the Great Xia Empire unify the southern region of Yuanzhou. In my opinion, taking charge of a country, governing a country, the country is peaceful and the people are prosperous, and they will not be spared by war, nor will they be affected by the strong. Bullying, that alone is enough!”
"The expansion of territory is indeed a name that will go down in history, but which expansion of territory was not based on the blood and bones of countless soldiers?"
"If everyone can have food, clothing, food and clothing, be rich and enjoy themselves in this hot summer, why bother with so much fighting and killing?"
After the third prince finished speaking, he slowly sat back in his seat. At this moment, the longing in the third prince's eyes seemed to have sunk into that beautiful vision and refused to come out.
And the third prince's words were like a gentle warm current, penetrating into Gu Chen's heart, and Gu Chen couldn't help but be moved by it.
This kind of kindness is rare among kings in history!
If the third prince can really realize such a vision, why worry about the world being uneasy!
Even Gu Chen couldn't help but fall into the blueprint drawn by the third prince.
After a moment, Gu Chen took a breath and said: "The third prince's kindness and love for the people make me admire him very much!"
"I don't know much about national affairs, but I do understand one thing. If I don't have the strength, it's almost impossible to practice peace of mind for a lifetime!"
"If I want people not to bother me, I have to make them afraid of me and not dare to bother me. Instead of me hiding from people, the more times I hide, the more I will receive them!"
Gu Chen said: "If one person is like this, let alone a country?"
