Arriving at the front yard, he saw Liu Zhang already waiting at the gate. As soon as Gu Tingchen approached, Liu Zhang clasped his fists and said, "Your Highness, the Duke is already waiting for you in the carriage outside."
"Father is going to enter the palace too?" Gu Tingchen was a little surprised: "I'm afraid the Duke has noticed something."
Gu Tingchen thought about it. Both his cousin and Princess Qining were canonized by the emperor's decree, but he issued the canonization decree directly in the name of his great aunt. He was afraid that his great aunt was testing the thoughts of the court officials.
I'm afraid that my father has already noticed that my aunt is trying to take power. Although he has done his best to take care of the Gu family, I'm afraid he doesn't want my aunt to risk the world's condemnation and seize the Fu family's territory.
In order to keep my cousin and for the sake of Gu Shi's eternal foundation, it seems that a decision must be made today.
"Liu Zhang, who is on duty in the palace today?" Gu Tingchen asked thoughtfully.
Liu Zhang smiled and said, "Don't worry, Your Highness. Since the Shenwei Army was transferred out of the palace, everyone inside and outside the palace is ours."
"very good."
Gu Tingchen nodded in satisfaction: "You will follow me into the palace and follow my orders."
After saying this, he hurried out and got into the carriage.

Father has worked hard and made great contributions. Even if he is to be crowned a king, it should be his father who should be enthroned."
Gu An was not jealous of his son being canonized. Instead, he felt that it was worrying that his aunt was canonizing her son at this time.
By enthroning her own nephew as a king of a different surname, she was obviously testing whether the court officials would object to her presumptuous intentions.
Furthermore, the aunt must have been worried that her son would stop her from sending Wanwan to the northern border for marriage.
"Tingchen, our Gu family has devoted all their lives to the court. The Queen Mother and His Majesty have bestowed upon you the throne. As your father, I am naturally pleased for you."
Gu An advised, "But there is one thing. Today, when you enter the palace, you must accompany your father to stop your aunt from attending court. You must also recommend yourself to the Queen Mother and His Majesty, and personally escort Wanwan to the northern border."
