Chapter 188 Tripartite Alliance
Ku He was silent for a long time. This kind of thing was really beyond his scope.
On the one hand, Zhan Doudou did not conceal the truth on purpose, but was forced to do so.
However, now Zhan Doudou has taken over the power, and although I am his great uncle, I have never cared about him.
On the other hand, he couldn't help but feel a surge of admiration when he looked at his grandniece, who was full of courage and determination.
A woman was able to go from being controlled by someone to being the master, and even force the other party to retreat completely.
Ability, character and means are all indispensable!
The atmosphere in the palace became increasingly solemn, and Zhan Doudou was waiting for Ku He's response.
Time seemed to stand still, and every second seemed extremely long.
But Zhan Doudou's eyes remained firm.
Ku He sat there with a frown on his face. After struggling for a long time, he finally spoke slowly, "Your Majesty, this matter is really hard to accept.
Your Majesty is a woman. If you want to become an empress, how will you solve the issue of procreation? Who can be entrusted with the future of Northern Qi?
It is impossible for the future emperor of Northern Qi to take someone else's surname?"
Zhan Doudou raised her chin slightly, her eyes revealing determination and confidence: "Uncle, since I have decided to become the empress, I naturally have my considerations.
I have my own way to solve the problem of continuing the family line.
As for the future of Northern Qi, I believe that as long as I work hard, I will be able to lead Northern Qi to prosperity.
I have the ability to protect Northern Qi, and I am confident that Northern Qi will become even stronger under my rule."
Zhan Doudou's words were powerful and full of kingly spirit.
Ku He remained silent and fell into deep thought.
When Ku He and Zhan Doudou both fell silent, Sean's slightly old but still steady voice slowly sounded.
Sean raised his head slightly, glanced back and forth between Zhan Doudou and Su Wenyi, and then solemnly put forward a suggestion.
“Your Majesty, Master Ku He, in my opinion, you might as well let Su Wenyi marry your Majesty.
In this way, we can find a backer for Northern Qi and also allow Your Majesty to become an empress completely.
Moreover, if Mr. Su joins our Northern Qi, then the day when our Northern Qi will dominate the world is just around the corner!"
Sean's words were like a huge rock thrown into a deep pool, instantly breaking the silent atmosphere.
Ku He looked at Su Wenyi and Zhan Doudou, his eyes full of surprise and curiosity.
Su Wenyi was slightly startled, with a complicated look on his face.
Zhan Doudou had no intention of refusing at all. Instead, she agreed very readily.
Zhan Doudou said: "This is a good idea, but I don't know if Mr. Su will like me.
Of course, if you don’t like my current appearance, it doesn’t matter. I can dress up and look pretty.”
Ku He, who was standing aside, was completely unable to react at this moment.
He widened his eyes and looked at Zhan Doudou in astonishment.
This great master of Northern Qi had always been known for his calmness and wisdom, but at this moment he was overwhelmed by this sudden development.
His mind was in a mess, with all kinds of thoughts intertwined.
Ku He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but didn't know where to start.
He could only sit there in a daze, trying to digest this shocking scene.
Su Wenyi wanted to refuse, but when he saw Zhan Doudou's expectant and determined eyes, and Ku He's complicated and scrutinizing eyes, he couldn't say the words of refusal. Su Wenyi was very conflicted at the moment.
On the one hand, he knew that this decision meant huge responsibility and pressure.
After being combined with Zhan Doudou, I am not a good person, but I am not an irresponsible person who will not recognize others after pulling up his pants.
On the other hand, it was indeed I who proposed this idea. If I regret it now, wouldn't it seem that I am fickle and irresponsible?
Moreover, he also understood Zhan Doudou's determination and Ku He's concerns. At this critical moment, his decision might affect the future direction of Northern Qi.
Su Wenyi sighed secretly in his heart, he knew he had no way out.
Su Wenyi slowly said: "Let me make it clear first, I have no interest in being the emperor."
As soon as Su Wenyi finished speaking, Zhan Doudou and Sean breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
Zhan Doudou's originally tense expression relaxed slightly, and a gleam of relief flashed in his eyes.
She knew that Su Wenyi's agreement meant that she had taken another solid step towards becoming an empress.
And a victorious smile appeared on Sean's face.
His plan was partly successful, and he skillfully pushed it all forward for his own purposes.
Ku He felt a sinking feeling in his heart when he saw the three people looking at their appearance at this moment.
His sharp eyes swept back and forth between the three people, and gradually, he understood.
These three people have already colluded with each other.
They carefully planned this dinner in order to gain his support and pave the way for Zhan Doudou to become the empress.
Ku He felt angry and helpless. As the guardian of Northern Qi, he was plotted against by these three people.
He also understood that now that the situation had been determined, he had to re-examine the situation and think about how to protect the interests of Northern Qi in this complex situation.
Ku He took a deep breath and tried to calm his inner turmoil. His face was solemn, and he stared at Zhan Doudou, Su Wenyi and Xiao En with a sharp gaze.
Ku He asked, "Have you three already joined forces?"
Facing Ku He's questioning gaze, Su Wenyi did not flinch at all, but readily admitted, "Not bad!"
Su Wenyi raised his chin slightly, his eyes revealing a hint of confidence and strategy.
"Uesugi Tiger's rescue of Sean, the various disputes between Shen Zhong and Fan Xian, and even the Queen Mother's change of attitude in it, these were all my plans.
From the beginning, I found the Queen Mother and threatened her to retreat behind the scenes, and later we came to Northern Qi.
In addition to the plan against Shen Zhong, let the father and son Sean and Uesugi Tora surrender to His Majesty.
Until now, the Northern Qi military, Jinyiwei, and all civil and military officials have been controlled by Your Majesty!"
Su Wenyi's words were like a huge rock thrown into a deep pool, causing ripples.
When Ku He listened to Su Wenyi's words, her heart was suddenly filled with shock. She was shocked by Su Wenyi's boldness and wisdom.
Ku He fixed his solemn gaze on Su Wenyi, and his voice was filled with a hint of majesty and doubt: "Su Wenyi, what is your purpose in planning so carefully?"
Facing Ku He's questioning, Su Wenyi remained silent for a moment before speaking slowly, his voice steady and powerful: "Master Ku He, I have absolutely no ill will towards Northern Qi.
Everything I did was selfish, but it was also to help her."
After saying that, Su Wenyi turned around and looked at Zhan Doudou.
