Chapter 120 A serious meeting, Gu Chen's deception
As the saying goes, small matters are dealt with in big meetings, and big matters are dealt with in small meetings.
Once a few people at the pinnacle of power hold a small meeting behind closed doors, it means that the matter is of great importance.
Look, this is what Gu Chen and the other three discussed in the conference room.
The first thing is, how to place the emperor's body?
This matter made everyone feel a little embarrassed at the beginning.
The Emperor's current condition cannot be considered dead, but it cannot be considered a complete resurrection either.
In such a critical situation, we must be extremely careful and absolutely cannot let the Emperor make any mistakes.
Therefore, where to place the emperor became the most important thing.
It must be absolutely safe, absolutely confidential, and suitable for the Emperor's cultivation.
If it really doesn’t work... leave it to the immortals?
This idea was proposed by Keqing.
The result was immediately opposed by Ningguang.
The immortals are indeed capable of protecting the Emperor.
But in the current situation, how can the people of Liyue push the Emperor out?
That's too pathetic!
For example.
The Emperor is like the patriarch of the entire Liyue.
And the people of Liyue are the children of the patriarch.
Immortals cannot be considered the children of the head of a family, but should be considered the head of a family’s younger brothers and sisters.
In terms of seniority, the immortals are like the uncles and aunts of the Liyue people.
Now, their patriarch, the common king and father of the Liyue people, has fallen ill.
Of course, it is the children like them who have to serve and take care of their father at his sickbed!
What's the big deal about leaving my father to be taken care of by my uncles and aunts?
Even if my uncle and aunt are indeed capable of taking good care of me, doesn't this make the people of Liyue seem useless?
There is even suspicion that she is unwilling to take responsibility and abandon the Emperor!
Hearing this, Gu Chen couldn't help but laugh.
The metaphor of Ningguang... is really vivid and appropriate.
After being refuted, Keqing was ashamed and speechless.
She immediately apologized at the meeting, saying that she was still young and thought too simply!
He also stated that he had no intention of abandoning the Emperor and was unwilling to take responsibility, absolutely not!
She just thought it might be safer to leave the Emperor to the immortal.
Uncle Tian, who was sitting opposite, comforted Keqing with a smile, saying that everyone understood her thoughts and would not misunderstand her.
And Uncle Tian also subtly made up for it from another angle.
If the Emperor is left to the care of the immortals.
After several years, when the Emperor wakes up, will he be more inclined towards the immortals and less protective of the Liyue people?
After getting this hint, Keqing broke out in a cold sweat.
Don't think that she wants to lead the people of Liyue to independence and walk out of the protection of the gods.
But thoughts are thoughts, reality is reality, and Keqing still understands how important the protection of God is.
If this incident causes Liyue to completely lose the Emperor's protection in the future, then she will be a great sinner!
So Keqing bowed again, apologized again, and reflected again.
After this little episode, here is the plan proposed by Ningguang.
Her plan was simple: to place the Emperor in the Golden House.
It is the largest mint in the continent of Teyvat. It is extremely tightly guarded and information is absolutely isolated. It can provide the greatest degree of security and has a lot of space.
It would be appropriate to place the Emperor there.
Keqing and Tianshu's eyes lit up after hearing Ningguang's plan.
Gu Chen was the first to agree, and he also gave another reason.
The Moras in the Golden House were all created by the Emperor, which shows that there is residual power of the Emperor in the Golden House.
Being in such an environment, with this kind of power to provide support and maintenance, it would be somewhat helpful for the Emperor's recovery.
After hearing this, Keqing and Tianshu had nothing to object to.
In this way, the first thing was passed and the emperor's body was placed in the Golden House.
The specific operations are handed over to Ningguang, who will be responsible for this matter.
Then the second thing is to maintain the overall order of Liyue.
This is not a difficult matter for the Liyue Seven Stars.
Although the news has now spread, the people of Liyue Harbor are in panic.
However, under their governance, there will be absolutely no problem in maintaining the overall stability and order of Liyue.
Ensure that there will be no riots in Liyue and that people can continue to live and work in peace.
The specific operation of this matter will be handed over to Qixing. Gu Chen is not good at it, so he will not interfere.
Then comes the third thing, which is to find the murderer who murdered the emperor.
When this matter was discussed, there was a moment of silence in the meeting room.
There's nothing I can do. This matter is really too dark for me.
The Emperor's murder was so sudden, without any signs beforehand, that everyone was caught off guard. They simply couldn't imagine who had the ability to murder the Emperor and succeed!
If the emperor was murdered through trickery, then it would be fine and they could still feel a little relieved.
But if it was the Emperor who was murdered with his strength...
How powerful and unfathomable is the murderer behind this?
It’s terrifying to think about it.
Helpless, the three Seven Stars could only look to Gu Chen for help.
Who made Gu Chen so powerful and his status equal to that of the Emperor?
Only someone with this kind of strength is qualified to find out the reason why the Emperor was killed, right?
Facing the looks from the three of them, Gu Chen felt a headache.
He is also the real culprit behind the murder of the emperor.
In fact, it is your emperor himself!
How could he say that?
He couldn't say these words! If he did, it would be exposed!
Feeling really tired, Gu Chen could only say that he would do his best to investigate the matter.
In addition, Gu Chen's acting skills are excellent and he did not show anything wrong. He also raised three suspicious directions.
The first direction of suspicion is the Fatui.
Because the Fatui probably have this ability.
Moreover, the Emperor had severely humiliated the Ice Queen in the recent War of Gods, so it was understandable that the Fatui wanted to seek revenge.
The second suspicion is the Abyss Cult or the Abyss Legion.
The Seven Stars of Liyue also understood that this group of inhuman creatures were enemies of humans and had been secretly causing trouble, seemingly wanting to subvert the current order.
Moreover, they have many mysterious and unpredictable methods, so it is reasonable to say that they are plotting to murder the emperor.
The third source of suspicion is the other remaining demons in the world today.
Although this suspicion is a bit outrageous, it is indeed possible.
Because in terms of strength, it seems that only people of this level can murder the emperor.
Maybe it was the demon who was beaten by the Emperor and fled in panic during the Demon War, and now he has sneaked back to take revenge.
You can't say the possibility is zero!
Ningguang, Keqing and Tianshu all agreed with the three doubts raised by Gu Chen.
Little did they know that Gu Chen was completely fooling them.
Then Gu Chen continued to deceive, saying that while I was investigating in these three directions, you also had to investigate, so as to confuse the real culprit behind the scenes.
The three Seven Stars agreed that they would definitely do their best to cooperate and catch the murderer behind the scenes as soon as possible.
So, all three things were settled.
However, there is another concern that needs to be addressed urgently.
That is... the immortal aspect.
The Emperor's murder is such an important matter that Liyue must let the immortal know no matter what, and must give the immortal an explanation.
