Chapter 866 Who Isn't the Emperor?

ir of children, namely Lele and Xinxin today.Before his death, Xu Qing pleaded with Xu Yao, hoping that she wouldn't let the two children know what their father and mother were like. He also hoped tha...Gu Yan's words terrified Old Gu even more!

Is this not Gu Yan

Could it be…

Following Gu Yan's direction, wouldn't you see An Bao and Xiao Fengheng

"When I arrived with my troops, we found their bodies just outside the city and saw the backs of the two lords who had strangled them. But they left too quickly for us to pursue."

Gu Yan gave a simple explanation, their army was large in number, so it was a few points slower.

When Gu Lao heard this, he was shocked and looked at An Bao and the others. Then, he suddenly remembered the commotion from last night and asked after a long while, "Could it be that you guys..."

"Oh, I was just hanging out outside the city refining some pills when I accidentally killed those sea monsters!"

An Bao shrugged nonchalantly, it wasn't intentional, just a careless move!

Who let those mermaids barge in here They're asking for trouble.

Lao Gu and Gu Yan and the others were all speechless.

So, they went looking for them themselves, did they Those sea monsters

However, no matter what, this thing really helped the entire country of Li!

Lao Gu was overjoyed to lead the people back into the courtyard.

And An Bao and Xiaofeng also learned about Gu Lao's background from their conversation.

It turns out that Old Gu is the King of Li, which makes him the emperor's uncle.

When the previous emperor passed the throne, he intended to pass it on to Old Gu.

But at the crucial moment, Old Gu was framed by the emperor and thus left the capital city, hiding his true identity here.

And even Lao Gu's hidden identity, his son Gu Yan didn't know where he was.

Just before Lao Gu left, he also helped Gu Yan find a match.

He left the imperial city and hid with his private soldiers.

If an emperor is capable of great use, then who wouldn't want to be emperor

At first, when the emperor had just ascended the throne, he truly reigned as a wise ruler for several years. This finally put Gu Yan and Old Master Gu's minds at ease.

But later, because he listened to the words of that national guardian general, his actions became increasingly confused and foolish.

In the past two years, I have truly become a puppet in the hands of the national hero.

Old Master Gu couldn't bear it anymore, so he sent a letter to Gu Yan, asking him to bring his troops here first to protect An Bao and the others.

An Bao and the others are acting for the people of Li Guo. They absolutely cannot be harmed for this, or wouldn't that chill the hearts of all the people in the world

"Oh dear! We've killed the sea monster and the general who guarded the country. The emperor will surely come to question us soon! Yan'er, are you prepared"

Gu Lao looked at Gu Yan, sighed, and his eyes were filled with a few traces of melancholy and fighting spirit.

Gu Yan smiled and then handed something to Gu Lao.

Mr. Gu looked at it in his hand with a puzzled expression, and said in surprise: "This, this is..."

"The national seal." Gu Yan answered firmly, then laughed, "After Father's letter, we thought that since the Protector General had led so many people out, the imperial capital must be lax in its defenses. We planned to investigate the situation, but we didn't expect..."

For many years, the emperor of Li Guo has been a foolish ruler, and he has completely lost the hearts of his people!

Not only did the common people hate him, even his ministers and maidservants all hated him!

Therefore, Gu Yan brought people to investigate and found that all the guards were lax....

It seems that

Some people are intentionally letting anyone who wants to "usurp the throne" get away with it!

Therefore, Gu Yan and his people easily found the emperor who was having an affair in broad daylight on the bed of a concubine in the palace!

The funny thing is, when the concubine discovered that someone was trying to assassinate the emperor, she cooperated surprisingly well and pushed the emperor out of the way.

"So... he, died"

Gu Lao looked at Gu Yan with a mixture of astonishment and disbelief.

Gu Yan nodded slightly, a few more solemn lines on his face. "The heavens have died, and the yellow sky shall rise! Father! That man was licentious and tyrannical, a fool of a king for all ages! Now that he has been brought to justice, the country cannot be without a ruler for a day! Therefore, this son's visit is not only to capture those sea monsters, but also to ask Father to return and ascend the throne!"

Anbao and Xiaofeng were eating watermelon beside them, their faces full of astonishment.

Then Gu Yan's storytelling was exceptionally good, with twists and turns that left the two listeners wide-eyed.

When he heard that Gu Yan actually wanted to bring Gu Lao back to be emperor, he was a little surprised and asked: "Why do you want Grandpa to go back to be emperor You killed the incompetent ruler, don't you want to be emperor yourself"

"Yes, don't you I see that all of you royals seem to like being emperor."

Two little radish heads curiously looked at Gu Yan.

Isn't it said that once you become emperor, you are above everyone else

Can anyone else be so generous

Gu Yan smiled and shook his head, "Originally the previous emperor wanted to pass the throne to my father. It was only because my father was murdered that that foolish ruler came to power. Now everything should return to its rightful place. Moreover, my father loved the people. Besides him, "

I am not thinking about anything.

"Old Gu sighed and patted Gu Yan's shoulder, saying solemnly, "No, Yan'er, you did a good job. It's just... this throne, your father can't sit on it."

"Father!"

"First, listen to what your father has to say."

Old Gu stopped Gu Yan, smiled wryly, and then said helplessly and dejectedly: "Although it was that person who framed me back then, there was also my own weakness."

"For so many years, I've been hiding here alone, doing nothing. Not even daring to contact you. I am ashamed of my ancestors, the people, and you..."

"Knowing his father's disposition, being emperor is impossible. There are too many burdens to bear, and now I am past sixty. How many more years can I possibly sit on the throne"

Here, Lao Gu paused, looked up at Gu Yan, his eyes filled with hopeful light: "But Yan'er, you are different. You are brave and capable. For so many years, you have been able to bear so much, even being bold, decisive, filial, and compassionate! All of this is what a monarch should have!"

"Only when Li Guo is in your hands can I, as her father, rest assured."

Gu Lao spoke sincerely, and his eyes looking at Gu Yan were also very sincere. Gu Yan opened his mouth, wanting to say more, but was stopped by the rest who followed him.

"Gu Lao is right! You are the one everyone is looking forward to!"

"That's right! You've endured hardships for many years! This is what you deserve!"

"Right, right, right! This Pear Country only prospers when it's in your hands. That's how the people can live well!"

Under everyone's words of comfort, Gu Yan sighed with great difficulty before agreeing.

However, even though he had agreed, Gu Yan still hesitated.

Although Wang Gu hoped that Lao Gu would return to the imperial capital with him to enjoy his wealth, Lao Gu declined.

“Back then, in the eyes of the world, I was already dead. Now, there’s no reason to go back. Besides, I’ve lived here for many years and have gotten used to it. From now on, I plan to spend my remaining years here.”

That's the end of that.

The king of the country, in this way quietly, was replaced.lt like they were underground workers, whispering in hushed tones, "This is really exciting.""Get lost! You know my stepmother..."Zhou Bai gave a white eye, humming in displeasure.His stepmother's dis...
