Chapter 84: Uproar, the Princess
Prime Minister Lin’s convoy returning home is on the way. Behind him, there is a smaller carriage in which Fan Xian is hiding. If His Majesty really sends someone to kill Prime Minister Lin, he will protect him no matter what.

After all, Lin Wan’er also followed. She was worried about her father’s safety and insisted on following.

There were noises coming from the woods behind the carriage, and Fan Xian lifted the curtain and looked back.

It was the Qinggong master Wang Qinian, who walked through the bamboo forest, following them gracefully like in the movie Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, and came to Fan Xian to report the situation:
“Sir, the Black Cavalry left the camp without the approval of the Overwatch Council and headed here. Perhaps it is true.”

Fan Xian’s heart was hanging.

The Black Cavalry is only under the command of Chen Pingping and the top brass of the Supervisory Council.

If the Black Knights can be mobilized without going through the Overwatch Council, then only one person can
His Majesty!

“Wan’er, don’t move here. I’ll stay by your side and will be back soon.”

“Um”

Lin Wan’er’s beautiful eyes were red, and she only hated herself for being a girl and not knowing martial arts and couldn’t help at this moment.

As soon as Fan Xian stepped out of the carriage, he was surrounded by a large group of black cavalrymen behind him, with Prime Minister Lin’s carriage being the first to be hit.

If the general commanding the Black Cavalry waved his hand, Lin Xiang would become a corpse in an instant.

“father!”

Lin Wan’er hid in the carriage at the back, tears streaming down her face in anxiety.

Fan Xian stepped forward and protected Lin Xiang’s car. As a ninth-rank master, he was still able to fight against them.

“Fan Xian, go back and protect Wan’er and Dabao.”

Prime Minister Lin sighed deeply. This prime minister, who was second only to the emperor and above everyone else, was like Pang Tong, the young phoenix who had entered Luofeng Slope. He knew that he could not save himself today and would surely die, so he drew aside the curtain and wanted to send Fan Xian and Wan’er back.

Life or death, it’s all up to fate.
The commander of the Black Cavalry of the Supervisory Council did not recognize Fan Xian’s identity. He only knew that their target was Prime Minister Lin. As he was charging on horseback and swinging his sword at people, he heard the sound of a large number of horses and soldiers not far away.

“Leave people under the knife!”

The eldest prince, wearing armor, led dozens of imperial guards and rushed here, forming a confrontation with the black cavalry.

“I have met His Highness the First Prince.”

Deputy Commander Ling had no intention of being cowardly, and asked, “However, the Imperial Guards are the imperial guards of the palace, and they have not fulfilled their duty to protect the king. Why did you leave the city without permission?”

“Kill Lin Ruofu. Anyone who tries to stop him will die!”

When the two sides were about to fight.

The prince’s carriage slowly arrived and stopped between the two sides.

Li Chengqian slowly got out of the car and looked at Deputy Commander Ling calmly:

“I was the one who asked them to go out of the city to protect me. What, do you have any problem?”

Deputy Commander Ling knelt on one knee and saluted: “Your Highness, I dare not…”

See this situation.

Fan Xian breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing that she had the support of the Crown Prince, Lin Wan’er in the carriage also plucked up the courage to run to her father, not wanting him to be in danger again.

“Ding!”

“Detected that the host is eating melon!”

“Minister Lin is going back to his hometown. He forced Emperor Deng Qing to kill him in the name of ambush, but in fact he forced him to hand over the list!”

“Level: Medium”

“Reward: Qi Method: Dahuangting”

Li Chengqian came here not just to show his sincerity in front of others.

This melon-eating system finally revealed something good. Dahuangting is the unique martial art of the Wudang master, with a long history. When using true qi to fight, you can be endless and constantly restore true qi, which is equivalent to having a super blue BUFF.

‘I just don’t know if I can directly give Da Huang Ting cultivation in the future.’

“Xu Fengnian is said to have a body of Dahuangting.”

‘You don’t even need to practice to become strong.’

Li Chengqian complained inwardly.
This is the real cool one, it’s not like he is here trying to compete with Emperor Qing!

“Your Highness, why are you out of town?”

Fan Xian and Lin Wan’er came to his side.

Lin Wan’er was full of gratitude and pulled Li Chengqian’s arm:

“Brother Crown Prince, Wan’er thanks you for saving my life. I will repay you one day.”

Good guy.

I used to call him cousin.

Now you change your words, are you so intimate?

Li Chengqian didn’t want to be a minotaur, so he smiled and nodded:

“It’s a small matter. Cousin Wan’er, there’s no need to be so polite. I still have something to say to Minister Lin.”

A word cousin.

Let the distance be shortened.

Only then did Lin Wan’er realize that she had lost her composure.

Especially since Fan Xian was still beside her, Lin Wan’er forced a smile:
“Okay, then I will go to Yannian Palace with Fan Xian to visit my brother the Crown Prince.”

Still not changing your tune.

It seems that the favorability has increased significantly.
Li Chengqian walked onto the carriage. Prime Minister Lin, who had just looked ready to die, was now sitting in the carriage drinking tea, acting leisurely and pretentiously. Since he was not dead, His Majesty had sent the Crown Prince to come. This old fox had already understood Emperor Qing’s thoughts:
Emperor Qing would not do anything that would harm others and benefit himself.

He sent people to kill Lin Xiang.

It has a purpose.
“Xiang Lin.”

Li Chengqian didn’t waste time talking to him and got straight to the point:

“Since you have retired and returned to your hometown, please give me the list of your guests.”

“Why?”

Lin Ruofu put down his teacup and looked at the prince with a smile: “Your Highness, you don’t want me to be grateful to you just because I performed on stage just now, and give you the list without reservation? Connections are my last resort.”

Li Chengqian was not angry when he was rejected, as he had already guessed that it would be difficult.

But I didn’t expect it to be so difficult:

“Lin Xiang, what do you think connections are?”

“That is naturally because I have been an official for many years and have been bound by personal relationships and interests in the officialdom.”

“Then your connections don’t seem to be that good either. They are all officials of lower ranks than you.”

Li Chengqian’s words made Lin Ruofu choke for a moment, his expression froze, and he said again:

“As long as you hand over the list to me, I will be your most important connection and your guard of honor in the court. One day, I will let you return to Kyoto. How about that?”

Lin Xiang was moved.

Li Chengqian raised his lips. I didn’t tell you how to get back to Kyoto.
Ta-ta-ta-ta.

Hurry up.

It was the eunuchs in the palace who came to report the emperor’s will:
“Your Majesty has ordered that the matter of Qing Pavilion has been completed. Your Highness, please take the list back to the capital and go to the Imperial Study. Fan Xian must also go with you.”

“.”

Fan Xian was stunned. Qing Pavilion? What was Qing Pavilion?
He caught the young eunuch and asked him carefully.

I found out the reason:
“Isn’t this the Cabinet?”

Lin Wan’er didn’t know why her fiancé was so surprised. She just hoped that the prince would not make things difficult for her father. At least, for the sake of their brotherly love, he would let her father return home safely. Wan’er would be thankful.

“Cabinet?” Lin Ruofu also fell into deep thought. After a long while, he looked up to the sky and laughed: “I didn’t expect that His Majesty’s methods would become so swift and decisive. I thought it was just a change of prime minister, but I didn’t expect that he would directly abolish the prime minister and build a cabinet that belongs exclusively to the royal family and obeys His Majesty’s orders.”

“This method is even tougher than the Majesty I know!”

As a veteran in officialdom, he would not fail to see it.

The significance of abolishing the prime minister system and establishing the cabinet system.

This means that the power of the prime minister has been completely broken up and reorganized.

The power of the imperial power was unprecedentedly enhanced.

Lin Ruofu looked at the prince with sharp eyes: “Your Highness, this is not your idea, right?”

Li Chengqian played dumb and said, “Thank you, Minister Lin. It’s all because of your majesty’s wisdom. It has nothing to do with me. I’m just an official. I hope Minister Lin won’t embarrass me anymore.”

That’s it.

Lin Ruofu, the old fox, just gave up the foundation he had left behind after decades of dominance in the officialdom. “Well, since the position of prime minister is gone, there will be no more problems that will affect them in the future.”

Li Chengqian put away the roster.

Lin Ruofu warned, “Since you are willing to let Fan Xian stand on the same side with you, then don’t take it lightly in the future. The Second Prince is deeply loved by His Majesty. If he hadn’t done something wrong, it would be difficult for him to end up in the situation he is in today.”

Li Chengqian was wondering if he was testing him.
Lin Ruofu changed the subject and said, “What I meant was that I told you to be on guard against that person in Xinyang. I ended up like this because of that crazy woman who was behind the scenes fanning the flames. Even my trusted confidant Yuan Hongdao was her hidden pawn.”

Your wife, right?

If I ascend the throne.

Be careful or you might get cocky. Li Chengqian nodded, but the idea went in one ear and out the other. Prime Minister Lin was still a little naive. Neither he nor the princess figured out Yuan Hongdao’s true identity. As for his suggestions, they just nodded in agreement.

“Thank you, Minister Lin, for your entrustment. I will return to the palace to report first. Bye.”

Before getting off the car, Li Chengqian turned around and added, “Have a nice trip.”

Lin Ruofu nodded in agreement, hoping that his children would follow Fan Xian in the future, and be able to enjoy the shade under the crown prince’s big tree, and not be affected by the storm in the capital, and end up getting soaked like a drowned chicken.
“Your Highness, please.”

“Ah.”

Li Chengqian nodded towards Prime Minister Lin. After getting the list, he could go back to the palace to show off. No, he had to go back to the palace to report and give an explanation to his father.

The main thing is that only by eliminating the influence of these bigwigs and their followers can we establish a Qing Pavilion that fully serves the emperor and the royal family.

After all, these people will be left for him to use in the future, Li Chengqian had a beautiful thought.

I hope Emperor Qing can succeed in his cultivation as soon as possible and ascend to heaven and leave the human world.

He can become emperor.

And cross out the Sleeping Princess!

·······
Xinyang.

The eldest princess’s mansion.

Yuan Hongdao acted on behalf of the princess and sent Prime Minister Lin away, which was a great achievement. However, in this huge princess’s mansion, he did not receive preferential treatment from the servants, because there were many more people in this large courtyard who needed preferential treatment.

The “accountants” are calculating the accounts of the inner treasury. The wedding date of Fan Xian and Lin Wan’er is approaching, and the princess will have no choice but to return the underwear to them. The crown prince will not come out to fight for her and still stands on Fan Xian’s side.

The eldest princess hasn’t had a good night’s sleep for so many nights.

Every time she closed her eyes, it was Li Chengqian’s promise to her.

When I ascend the throne in the future, I will definitely honor my aunt as my emperor.
Usually, the eldest princess will wake up when she dreams of this place.

The reality is that Li Chengqian betrayed her and defected to the enemy.

The princess’s chest aches from being angry. It has been swollen for the past half month:

“Mr. Yuan, you did a good job. You lived up to my expectations.”

“Thank you, Princess. What’s this, Your Highness?”

Yuan Hongdao looked at the accountant who was counting on an abacus in the garden and the palace maids who were busy picking flowers and asked.

The princess put down the thorny rose in her hand and lifted up her black gauze dress, which fluttered in the wind, outlining her mature and charming figure, which was extremely beautiful:
“Fan Xian is about to take over the inner treasury. I am powerless to save the situation. I have no choice but to calculate these accounts clearly. When I return to the capital, I will give him the revenue deficit coefficient of the inner treasury so that he can accept this matter.”

“The princess is very meticulous, Yuan admires her.”

Yuan Hongdao did not dare to look at the eldest princess’s face or her figure. He had heard before that there was a eunuch in the palace who stared at the eldest princess for two seconds and then had his eyes gouged out. This crazy woman might have a physical obsession with cleanliness and would not allow men to even look at her.

The princess lifted her bangs, and the wind gently lifted her long hair, revealing her charming face. She looked into the distance, curiously: “Mr. Yuan, what has happened in Kyoto recently?”

Yuan Hongdao thought she wanted to talk about his daughter, so he said:
“Princess Wan’er has almost recovered. She is safe and well when she is with Prime Minister Lin. Compared with her previous sickly state, she looks like a new person now.”

“Oh really?”

“Of course, Princess Wan’er’s future husband is Master Xiao Fan, he is proficient in this.”

Yuan Hongdao realized that he had said the wrong thing, and quickly slapped himself in the face and lowered his head in shame.

Actually.

He was deliberately making mistakes.

Use some clumsy ways to gain the eldest princess’ trust.

A hidden pawn lurking in Kyoto returned to his master. If he hadn’t been so excited that he spoke without thinking, his loyalty would be questionable. Li Yun Ruiyu was holding a pair of scissors in his hand. When he heard this man’s name, he stopped in front of Hua Rui for a while.

“It doesn’t matter. I don’t care about him. Go on.”

She smiled with relief, and looked beautiful in her calmness.

“Your Highness has a very grand vision.”

Yuan Hongdao flattered, and then changed the subject: “Since Prime Minister Lin was deposed, His Majesty has summoned all the ministers to hold a grand court meeting and announced to all officials in the hall that the Qing Pavilion will be established to replace the prime minister system. Some people have discussed that it was the idea of ​​His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.”

Click.

Li Yunrui’s jade hand showed green veins, and he accidentally cut off the entire pistil:

“Cheng Qian?”

Yuan Hongdao didn’t look at her expression, and mistakenly thought that the princess was happy to hear the news about the crown prince, so he kept talking about the crown prince, and finally added: “The crown prince has made many outstanding achievements recently, and he is deeply loved by His Majesty.”

“It is rumored that when His Majesty grants Wan’er a marriage, he will also set a wedding date for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. By then, maybe two important figures will get married at the same time, which will be a double happiness. Our Qing Kingdom will surely usher in great fortune.”

Snapped!
Li Yunrui dropped the scissors on the ground, almost hitting Yuan Hongdao’s foot.

He was so frightened that he quickly stepped back: “Your Highness, did I say something wrong?”

Li Yunrui was furious inside, but on the surface he closed his eyes and took a deep breath, suppressing the volcanic eruption of menopause:
“Yes, that’s good.”

“.”

Yuan Hongdao has become honest.

When Li Yunrui put her long hair up and put her hands behind her head, the mountains in front of her were rolling and looming. Even a passing male bird would be confused and hit the tree stump.
A tall building is built on flat ground.

Where does such a big mountain come from?

“What do you think of their relationship?”

The eldest princess asked a fatal question, but Yuan Hongdao was timid and didn’t dare to answer: “It’s, it’s OK.”

Li Yunrui snorted coldly, lifted her long skirt and walked away, entering her boudoir:
“Then I will prepare two gifts for them, a pair of mandarin ducks.”

“Congratulations to them, and wish them a happy marriage!”

Li Yunrui took a deep breath but still couldn’t control his anger.

What she wanted to send to the prince was not good luck.

Instead.

Bad luck!
