Joy of Life: I am Li Chengze, and I have mastered the Eight Wonders

Chapter 10 Spring
"All I can do is remind you of these potential risks."

Li Chengze smiled slightly when he saw this.
"As for how to rescue Lai Mingcheng, you need to figure it out yourself, or ask for advice from wise men like President Chen and Minister Lin to see if there is a feasible strategy."

"Of course, if you need any help, just ask."

Li Chengze's words revealed a sense of ease and relief, as if a big stone had finally fallen to the ground - someone was finally willing to take over this proactive task.

The task was given to Fan Xian
I am the one who reaps the benefits.

Jie Jie Jie! !
Speaking of Lai Mingcheng's involvement in the Board of Supervisory Inspection, he has undoubtedly stepped into the brink of danger. His situation is as difficult as that of an assassin trying to assassinate the king, and there is almost no solution.

This mission is a bit difficult.

If this important task were given to Li Chengze, he would frankly admit that it would be difficult to find a good solution on his own.

After all, although he had some insight into the plot of the original work, he was just an ordinary person and lacked the ability to directly change the situation.

But fortunately, he has wise men like Fan Xian around him, and even more so, those "backers" behind Fan Xian who are well versed in political strategies and have extraordinary strength - Chen Pingping, Fan Jian, Lin Ruofu and others.

Their wisdom and resources are undoubtedly the key to solving this problem.

Therefore, Li Chengze wisely chose to leverage the power of others and cleverly transferred this heavy burden to Fan Xian.

After all, letting the most suitable person deal with the problem at the right time is the most efficient and wise decision.

Fan Xian not only has a sense of justice and is eager to rescue Lai Mingcheng, but he also has strong backing. He is undoubtedly the best person to complete this mission.

As expected, Fan Xian acted quickly and reported Lai Mingcheng's predicament to Chen Pingping truthfully.

Facing Fan Xian's doubts, Chen Pingping frankly admitted that he had already seen through everything.
It not only demonstrates Chen Pingping's foresight, but also foreshadows that Fan Xian will soon receive more support and guidance from senior executives of the Supervisory Commission on the road to rescuing Lai Mingcheng.

At this point, the whole situation of the incident became clear, and Fan Xian, as the strongest helper of this "active mission", was ready to go.

"Since you already knew about it, why didn't you remind me earlier?" Fan Xian asked Chen Pingping with a bit of dissatisfaction and confusion in his tone.

"Knowledge gained from books is always shallow. Many truths can only be deeply engraved in one's mind through personal experience."

Chen Pingping spoke slowly, with a hint of deep meaning in his tone.
“Although you have some understanding of the importance of the Board of Audit and Inspection, you lack an intuitive understanding of it, which is a hidden danger for you to shoulder the responsibilities of the Board of Audit and Inspection in the future.”

"So..." Fan Xian pressed on, trying to find out what Chen Pingping had not yet said.

Chen Pingping did not respond directly, but let Fan Xian figure it out on his own with an attitude that was almost tacit.

He knew very well that sometimes appropriate concealment and testing were to make Fan Xian more mature and resilient. The incident with Lai Mingcheng was such a profound lesson.

"Do you want to use Lai Mingcheng's life as the price for my growth?
Let me witness the cruelty of the court, feel the importance of the Supervisory Council, and even understand your majesty's determination?"

Fan Xian was so emotional that he was almost roaring. He could not accept such a sacrifice.

Facing Fan Xian's questioning, Chen Pingping chose to remain silent, which was undoubtedly an acknowledgement of Fan Xian's guess.

However, his heart was filled with relief and pride.

Fan Xian, Ye Qingmei's son, did not disappoint her expectations. His belief that "all men are created equal" was deeply rooted in his bones and could not be violated.

"You dare to yell and question me like this for a life, which is what makes you so valuable.

Chen Pingping thought to himself that he admired Fan Xian's courage and integrity. Such qualities were far superior to those of those mediocre people who only followed orders and had no opinions of their own.

"So, you came to the Audit Office just to accuse me?"

Chen Pingping finally spoke, his tone was both majestic and gentle. He expected Fan Xian to give a more mature and rational answer.

"Of course not." Fan Xian's emotions calmed down a lot. He shook his head and denied his previous impulse.

"I want to save Lai Mingcheng." His eyes were firm, and his brief words revealed his unquestionable determination. "But this road is extremely difficult."

Chen Pingping sighed lightly and spoke frankly.

Upon hearing this, Fan Xian raised a stubborn smile:
"Difficult does not mean impossible. In my opinion, nothing is more important than saving an innocent life."

"If we really want to save him, perhaps we can only let him hide his identity, stay away from the vortex of power, and exchange his freedom for fake death."

Chen Pingping proposed a compromise plan, but Fan Xian couldn't help but frown.

"I saved him not just to save his life."

Fan Xian's voice was filled with helplessness and reluctance, "Such an upright official, is he going to be forced to leave his homeland and hide his identity?

Is there no place for him in this world?"

"I understand that you have this doubt in your mind."

Chen Pingping's eyes were deep, as if he could see into people's hearts, "But you have to understand that if you anger His Majesty, you will touch the bottom line of power.

Lai Mingcheng’s fate is no longer his personal choice, but a chess piece in the overall situation.”

"The overall situation, the overall situation..."

Fan Xian murmured these two words, a trace of determination flashed in his eyes.
"I remember that the overall situation did not allow me to kill Cheng Jushu, but I still ended his life in front of the Supervisory Institute, under the watchful eyes of everyone."

Upon hearing this, Chen Pingping remained silent for a moment and did not refute.

He knew very well that Fan Xian had his own beliefs and persistence, and that reckless courage was what he admired most.

Between power and humanity, Fan Xian chose the latter. Even though the road ahead was difficult, he was determined to give it a try.

Faced with Fan Xian's determination, Chen Pingping fell into deep thought, and his silence revealed his complex considerations of Fan Xian's ideas.

Fan Xian's eyes were firm, without the slightest sign of compromise. He continued:
"The president said that the overall situation requires the killing of Lai Mingcheng, but in fact, your majesty's personal will is no longer dominant here.

So, why don’t we take advantage of this situation and find a ray of hope for Lai Mingcheng?”

"In order for Lai Mingcheng to survive within the framework of the overall situation, we must find a way to make him an indispensable part of the overall situation."

Fan Xian's thoughts were clear, as if he had found the key to breaking the impasse. "Since the overall situation can determine life and death,
Then we will let the overall situation be his umbrella of protection."

Chen Pingping heard this, a hint of helplessness and approval flashed across his face, and he nodded slowly:

"Your idea does make sense. If we want to save Lai Mingcheng, we have to let him perform feats that are enough to shake up the situation."

Seeing this, Fan Xian struck while the iron was hot: "That's right, and right now there is a great opportunity - the Spring Examination.

This grand event concerns the fate of the world's talented people, and the contribution of the examiners is insignificant. "

"If Lai Mingcheng were to preside over the Spring Examination, his merits would be self-evident.
By then, he will not only be the spiritual leader of this class of students, but also an important driving force in the selection of talents for the imperial court.

If Your Majesty touches him now, wouldn't it chill the hearts of scholars all over the world and also damage the reputation of the court?"

Fan Xian's words were powerful and full of precise grasp of the situation.

After hearing this, Chen Pingping fell into deeper thought.

These words undoubtedly touched upon the core of the issue, forcing him to re-examine Lai Mingcheng's fate and the political considerations behind it.

In the end, he did not comment, but his silence was a tacit agreement to Fan Xian's proposal.
