Chapter 515

Gu Jing’s words seemed reasonable and well-founded, but Lord Chengen felt very uncomfortable listening to him.

He put down the account book in his hand, his eyes dim, and he said in a difficult voice, “Second Prince, you’ve put in so much effort just to be a puppet for Wang Yu?”

If Wang Yu was allowed to take control of the court, then why did he spend so much effort on the second prince?!

“Grandfather, do you think I would be so foolish?” Gu Jing asked indifferently.

Lord Chengen: “……”

Gu Jing took another sip of the wine and played with the glass in his hand, calmly saying, “You don’t even think about it, even if I am willing to become his puppet, do you think Wang Yu will tolerate me as a puppet?”

Lord Chengen’s eyes widened, and he figured it out, too.

Yes, if Wang Yu could blackmail the emperor to command the ministers in the future, his next step is likely to silently kill Gu Jing and let his son ascend to the throne. Wang Yu could then appoint himself as a regent, truly controlling the government in his hands, and no one in the world could pick out his faults.

Gu Jing put down his glass and said solemnly, “Grandfather, without destruction there could be no construction!”

“At that time, the overall situation of the court will be determined, and Wang Yu will inevitably be seriously injured, and when that time comes, I will fight Wang Yu for this country. It is better than letting Gu Zhen take control of this country now!”

“It’s better than having no hope now!”

“Grandfather, this is our last chance!”

“This opportunity must not be missed. The time will never come again.” When Gu Jing said these last words, he almost paused at every word.

Actually, Gu Jing had previously said these words to Lord Chengen before and advised him, however, Lord Chengen always felt a little uneasy and seemed to have overlooked something. Thus, he had always acted cautiously and reserved, after all, cooperating with Wang Yu would get the whole family involved if he was not careful enough.

Lord Chengen stared at Gu Jing quietly. The private room was surrounded by so much silence that they could hear a pin drop. Only the noise from pedestrians on the street outside the window could be heard.

After a long time, Lord Chengen’s eyes looked toward the account book on the table again, and finally, he moved, and after drinking a mouthful of wine, he “slapped” the book.

He then placed the wine glass on the table.

“Okay!”

Lord Chengen nodded in agreement, silently reciting Gu Jing’s words just now—without destruction, there could be no construction.

Gu Jing felt relieved in his heart and bowed solemnly to Lord Chengen, saying, “Thank you for your hard work, grandfather, and I must bother grandfather for everything.” He then earnestly poured wine for Lord Chengen himself, and the grandfather and grandson at this time looked harmonious.

“Your Highness, rest assured,” Lord Chengen replied, calmly accepting Gu Jing’s gift.

He got something on Minister Feng, which was enough to send the Feng family into exile for three thousand miles and banned them from serving as officials for three generations. Minister Feng would not refuse to die for the sake of his family.

With this decision, Lord Chengen no longer hesitated, his eyebrows relaxed, and he continued to look through this account book.

After his mindset changed, the more he looked at it, the more he felt that the account book was done well.

This time, the Empress and the Wei family were doomed!
