He was once the Great Zhou Dynasty's national protection general, and he knew too much about the role of food, grass and silver.

Although Chu Ye has also been on the battlefield, he is not a person like Gu Yan who has been practicing on the battlefield all year round.

"We can't find information about the black cloak, we can only search again from the father's generation." Chu Ye told Gu Yan and Taoist Master Xuanqing about the possibility that he had discussed with Shen Qingxi before, "Whether it is a collusion with enemies, treason or rebellion and forced the palace, it is not a good thing. I think first of all, we must find out what the identity of the black cloak is."

Gu Yan nodded, and he looked at the chessboard in front of him in a daze. The only chess pieces on the chessboard were black pieces and white pieces, and the black and white pieces were clearly visible at a glance.

But how can things in this world be divided into black and white?

Many times, things are not both black and white, just like Emperor Longzong ascended the throne, and they cannot be divided according to right or wrong.

To be precise, Emperor Longzong should be considered a wise ruler who puts the people first.

Gu Yan never said anything about the things that happened back then. Now that Chu Ye asked this, he felt that others would not know about it. As the son of Emperor Longzong, Chu Ye should still know something.

"Maternal grandfather?" Chu Ye couldn't help but shout again when he saw Gu Yan was not speaking, "Is there anything inconvenient to say?"

He was actually not very curious about Emperor Longzong. If it weren't for the Black Cloak, Chu Ye wouldn't have wanted to know about Emperor Longzong back then.

As soon as Chu Ye shouted, Gu Yan's thoughts were pulled back. He looked at Chu Ye for a long time before sighing slightly, "It's not something that cannot be said. Since you want to know, I'll tell you what you want to know."

After saying this, Gu Yan was silent for a while before he slowly spoke.

Under his account, Chu Ye could also figure out how Emperor Longzong returned to his path to seize power.

At that time, Emperor Longzong was not the eldest son of the late emperor, but the youngest son of the late emperor. Not only were there capable legitimate brothers and concubines who were favored by the late emperor.

Emperor Longzong did not think about fighting for the throne at first, but just wanted to be a free prince and live a life of eating and drinking for the rest of his life.

But after his brother and mother were killed, Emperor Longzong also had the idea of ​​fighting for power and profit.

At that time, the sixth prince was the one who was most favored by the late emperor. If Emperor Longzong had not been determined to fight, the person sitting on the throne now would probably be the sixth prince.

Emperor Longzong and Gu Yan were about the same age. They were very good playmates when they were young. When Emperor Longzong was born with the will to seize the throne, he naturally told Gu Yan.

Gu Yan was a major general in the General's Mansion at that time. After hearing his friend's thoughts, he immediately expressed his attitude and would definitely support him.

After that, with Gu Yan's help, Emperor Longzong quickly won over a group of children from aristocratic families of similar age, and soon gained his own power.

Later, Emperor Longzong went through a bloody storm in order to ascend the throne, and finally... he finally settled in this position.

When he first ascended the throne, Emperor Longzong also trusted Gu Yan very much, but as Gu Yan's power grew stronger, Emperor Longzong gradually developed an indescribable suspicion and distrust of him.

More than a decade later, after Gu Fangfei and the hairpin, Emperor Longzong proposed the idea of ​​letting her enter the palace, and Gu Yan initially opposed it.
