Taming beasts starts with understanding bird language

Just as Xuanyuan Long was angry, Yan Li walked in from outside the imperial study.

When Zuo Wangfeng saw her coming, he did not dare to neglect her and immediately bowed and said, "Your Highness Zuo Wangfeng, I pay my respects to the Crown Princess."

"General Zuo, please don't be so polite." Yan Li said softly.

After that, she walked over to Xuanyuan Long and sat down. She reached out her hand to touch his chest and said, "Don't get yourself sick from anger. After the state funeral is over, you will be the new emperor of Tiancang Kingdom. You must take care of yourself."

"Yes, Prince, the Crown Princess is right. Especially at times like this, you have to keep calm. Otherwise, you will hurt yourself and the gain will not be worth it." Zuo Wangfeng said in an amended voice.

"call……"

Xuanyuan Long exhaled a long breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and said in a deep voice, "As long as Gu Chan is alive, this prince will not be at ease. This time when he comes to Kyoto, he must be eliminated."

"Your Highness, I have a plan, but I wonder if it is feasible." Zuo Wangfeng said suddenly.

"Tell me about it." Xuanyuan Long waved his hand and said.

Zuo Wangfeng hesitated for a moment, thought about it in his mind, and then said, "Gu Chan now has a relatively high status in the hearts of the common people in the Jiangnan area. If he gets into trouble right after arriving in Kyoto, the impact will be too great. Once the Jiangnan area is unstable, it will not be good for your future rule over Tiancang Country."

"So I suggest that you show mercy first, then capture him. You must wait until you ascend the throne and completely control the Jiangnan area before getting rid of Gu Chan. Otherwise, once the people's resentment is aroused, it will be extremely troublesome!"

"My lord, I also think what General Zuo said is very right. When he comes, you should show him kindness and demonstrate your magnanimity and favor towards him. After that, after you take over the Jiangnan area, you can find a reason to kill him. Then no one can say you are wrong." Yan Li hurriedly added.

Compared to Zuo Wangfeng, she wanted to cut Gu Chan into pieces more.

In this situation, she did not recommend letting Gu Chan feel happy first. Anyway, the higher Gu Chan was praised now, the more miserable she would be when she fell down later.

Xuanyuan Long nodded and said, "You are right. If we touch him directly, it will have a great impact. It is better to show him some kindness first. Then tell me what kind of kindness this prince should show him."

"I feel that with his current achievements and status, it is enough to make him a king, otherwise it will be difficult to convince the people." Zuo Wangfeng suggested.

"Wouldn't it be too much of a compliment to crown him king?" Yan Li said with a frown.

Zuo Wangfeng shook his head. "Crown Princess, what you said is wrong. The purpose of making him a king is to silence the gossips. In my opinion, not only should he be made a king, but he should also be given many rewards, especially beautiful women. As long as he is allowed to indulge in the gentleness of women, it will be easy to get rid of him. And most importantly, if he is made a king in Kyoto, he will have no real power. After the crown prince ascends the throne, he can use the gift of being a king to force him to hand over the governance of the Jiangnan area."

"Well! This is a good suggestion. If he wants to prove that he is truly loyal to the Tiancang Kingdom, he must hand over the Jiangnan area. Otherwise, I will have a reason to kill him." Xuanyuan Long said cruelly.

Yan Li thought about it carefully and felt that this plan was perfect, so she did not object but nodded in agreement.

After that, the three of them chatted about some other things before Zuo Wangfeng took his leave.

As soon as he left, Xuanyuan Long asked Yan Li to draft a letter of summons to be crowned king for him.

The next morning, the summons for Gu Chan's title of king were posted everywhere in Kyoto. Everyone knew that Gu Chan was crowned king because of his great achievements in the Jiangnan area, and he was favored by the prince.

At the same time, Xuanyuan Long also earned a good reputation. Everyone thought he was very generous and did not even bother with Gu Chan.

After all, before, the two of them fought each other to the death in Jiangnan. Now Xuanyuan Long can put aside his prejudice and attach so much importance to Gu Chan, which shows that he really has the mind of an emperor!

But what everyone didn't know was that this was just a huge trap that Xuanyuan Long had dug for Gu Chan.

Time passed quickly, and seven days passed in the blink of an eye.

At dusk that afternoon, Gu Chan finally arrived slowly and leisurely to the huge East City Gate of Kyoto with the three spirit beasts.

With the protection of three spirit beasts, she could have reached Kyoto as quickly as possible, but along the way, she deliberately let them slow down and come over leisurely.

This means that from the time the Crown Prince announced to the nation that the old Emperor Xuanyuan Wu had passed away to now when Gu Chan arrived in Kyoto, exactly ten days have passed. As such, the state funeral of the fake emperor should be coming to an end soon.

Look, Gu Chanli was far away from the city gate, hiding in the crowd, looking at the people coming and going at the city gate in front of her, and whispered, "It seems that the state funeral of the fake emperor should be over soon, otherwise there wouldn't be so many people coming in and out of the city gate now."

"What should we do now? Should we go in right away?" asked the dragon standing on Gu Chan's left shoulder.

"No rush, let's observe for a while first." Gu Chan replied.

"Woo..."

But just as she finished her words, before she could react, she heard a horn suddenly sounded from the top of the city wall in front of her.

Everyone below the city was so shocked that they stopped and looked up at the top of the city.

I saw a team of Kyoto ceremonial guards standing in a row on the top of the city wall, each holding a long trumpet in their hand and blowing it. However, these trumpets were not used in battle, but rather trumpets used to welcome distinguished guests.

Just like when the envoys from the Diyue Kingdom came to negotiate, this horn sounded on the top of the East Gate. Therefore, all the common people in Kyoto are familiar with the sound of the horn to welcome distinguished guests.

"Why is the welcoming horn sounding? Could it be that another envoy from another country is coming?"

"This shouldn't be the case! The state funeral is almost over, and I haven't heard of any envoys from other countries coming!"

"Who is this welcoming horn sounding to welcome?"

The people below the city were all whispering and talking to each other.

Obviously, during the ten days of the state funeral, many envoys from other countries came, but now that the state funeral is almost over, naturally there will be no more distinguished guests such as envoys from other countries coming.

Therefore, everyone was very confused and couldn't figure out who the horn that suddenly sounded today was for.

And just when everyone was puzzled, the city guard waved his hand to interrupt the horn sound, then stood on the top of the city wall and popped his head out to shout, "Everyone kneel to welcome the King of Tiancang back to the capital. Live the King a thousand years and a thousand thousand years."

The people under the city were stunned on the spot. They looked at each other in confusion.

But faced with such a huge scene, they dared not not kneel, and they all knelt on the spot, bowed their heads and shouted in unison, "Welcome King Chan back to the capital, may King Chan live a thousand years and a thousand thousand years."

Gu Chan here was also confused, and quickly got off the back of Mo Qilin, and knelt down and shouted with everyone else.
