Taming beasts starts with understanding bird language

Chapter 679 Sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight

Xuanyuan Feng said with a smile.

"What's wrong, Lord Chan? Hurry and put away the order!"

"Why don't I manage the Ministry of War for you for three days first. If it goes smoothly, I will come back to get the order after three days. If it doesn't go smoothly, I won't dare to take it." Gu Chan said cleverly.

Xuanyuan Feng shook his head and said, "No, you have to take the order with you today, otherwise the prince's people will not let you leave Wanhuang Garden easily."

"Oh! I understand. The reason why the Crown Prince imprisoned you and did not touch you is that he hoped that you six princes would consciously hand over the six military orders to him. But you were unwilling to hand them over to him, so the stalemate has continued until now, right?" Gu Chan speculated to herself.

Xuanyuan Feng didn't play any tricks with her at all. He nodded affirmatively and said, "It's not tiring to talk to smart people. No wonder you can become the prince of Tiancang Kingdom at such a young age. You are indeed very smart."

"If I take this order, won't the prince keep an eye on me?" Gu Chan said embarrassedly.

"If we keep an eye on you, at least you can protect yourself. But if we keep an eye on us, it will be difficult for us to save our lives. So please, Prince Chan, save our lives." Xuanyuan Feng said sincerely.

Gu Chan rolled her eyes and said cunningly, "What about the other five orders? Are they all for me?"

"Take this one first and go to the Ministry of War. The six ministries are not as simple as you think. If you can't handle it, the other five orders will be given to others, or the other five princes will keep them themselves." Xuanyuan Feng explained.

Gu Chan nodded repeatedly after listening to this, and the doubts in her heart were finally completely resolved.

Now the biggest problem arises!

That is, should she consider being the scapegoat and helping the princes and princesses?

Xuanyuan Feng added, "Prince Chan, the only chess pieces in the hands of us princes and princesses are the six ministries of the court. We chose you to take over because we believe you have the strength to compete with the crown prince. Otherwise, we would have chosen Ninth Brother instead of you from the beginning."

"No wonder that brat Xuanyuan Qing was locked up in the Sky Prison and tortured like that. It's all your fault!" Gu Chan stroked his forehead with his hand, saying helplessly.

She said that there was no need for the prince to torture Xuanyuan Qing like that!

Now she finally understood. In order to protect themselves, these princes and princesses pushed Xuanyuan Qing forward and wanted him to fight the crown prince. Then they would sit on the mountain in Wanhuang Garden and watch the fight.

The result was that Xuanyuan Qing was not strong enough and was directly defeated by the prince, who was now their target.

After figuring all this out, Gu Chan said with a wicked smile, "I will take over the six ministries. I guarantee that the prince can't touch me. Even if he can, at least I won't be as miserable as Xuanyuan Qing."

"I don't know about that. It depends on your own ability." Xuanyuan Feng said with a faint smile.

Gu Chan didn't want to waste any more time talking, so she immediately reached out and grabbed the order, then threw it into the bag on her waist. Then she stood up and said, "Then Third Prince, I'll be leaving first. You guys can enjoy yourself in here!"

"Okay, Prince Chan, I won't see you off any longer. From now on, we'll just stay here and watch you come up with your best moves." Xuanyuan Feng stood up to see him off, being very polite.

Gu Chan grinned, said goodbye to him immediately, and left with the army order in a swagger.

"Good boy, you are really brave! At this critical moment, you dare to withdraw the order. It seems that I really underestimated you."

Standing there and watching Gu Chan's departing back, Xuanyuan Feng muttered to himself.

It was also from this moment that he began to look up to Gu Chan.

Half an hour later, in the imperial study of the palace.

The imperial guard who had been responsible for secretly following Gu Chan was now standing in front of the imperial desk, and he told Gu Chan everything about going to Wanhuang Garden to take over the Ministry of War.

Xuanyuan Long and Yan Li sat behind the imperial desk and looked at each other, both of them had sinister smiles on their faces.

Before Gu Chan came to Kyoto, Xuanyuan Qing wanted to take over the six ministries, but was suppressed by them. Now that Xuanyuan Qing has become a prisoner, he poses no threat to them at all.

If Gu Chan dares to offend them again, they will definitely punish her.

With this thought in mind, Xuanyuan Long waved his hand and ordered, "Go to Prince Chan's mansion and pass on my oral instructions. Tell her that the Queen Mother wants to see Gu Chan and ask her to come to the palace to see him."

"Yes, Your Highness." The palace guards responded respectfully and left.

After he left, Yan Li said, "My Lord, since the Third Prince has given the command of the Ministry of War to Gu Chan, why not take the command from her today?"

"Go and do it! I leave this matter to you. With his two wives in control, there is no need for me to take any action." Xuanyuan Long said coldly.

"Yes, Your Highness." Yan Li said with a sinister smile.

After saying this, she immediately got up and left the imperial study, going to the Queen Mother's bedroom to make preparations.

This side of Prince Chan’s Mansion.

When the palace guards came to deliver the oral order, something unexpected happened.

Outside the palace gate, many officials, businessmen and wealthy people from Kyoto gathered, all clamoring to go in to see Gu Chan. They blocked the gate so tightly that even the palace guards found it difficult to squeeze in.

In the lobby of the mansion, Gu Chan was sitting in the first seat at this moment, stroking her forehead with her hand, with a look of confusion on her face.

Shen Yang sat beside her and said, "Second Uncle, these people who came here are all well-known figures! It would be a pity if you blocked them outside the door!"

"What should I do? They all want to curry favor with me. I can't talk to them one by one, right?" Gu Chan said with a wry smile.

She never expected that the news of taking over the Ministry of War from the Third Prince would spread so quickly. It had only been more than half an hour and the news had spread throughout Kyoto. Otherwise, this group of people would not have flocked to the city upon hearing the news.

Shen Yang tried to comfort him, "Why don't you go out and talk to everyone?"

"That's fine! I'm too lazy to invite them in, otherwise they'll give me a headache from the noise." Gu Chan said helplessly.

After saying that, she left the lobby with Shen Yang and walked towards the gate of the mansion.

Soon they arrived at the gate.

The noisy crowd immediately became quiet, and they all looked up at Gu Chan, behaving very respectfully.

Gu Chan clasped her fists and bowed, "My dear lords, thank you for coming to visit me and for thinking so highly of me. I am truly flattered!"

"Prince Chan, we are here today for only two things." A civil servant standing in the front saluted and said.

"Which two things?" Gu Chan asked.

The civil servant said, "First of all, congratulations on taking over the Ministry of War. In the future, all colleagues hope that you, Lord Chan, will take good care of them. As for the second thing, we are here to ask you for medicine today."

"Asking for medicine?" Gu Chan frowned and asked doubtfully.

She has only been in Kyoto for a few days? She never said she wanted to sell medicine! Why did all these people come to her for medicine today?
