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

Chapter 8 Military Power
"Fan Xian, His Majesty has issued an edict granting the marriage, betrothing Ling'er to the Second Prince!"

"Ling'er was extremely resistant, and actually went straight to the Second Prince's residence with a knife, intending to..."

"She is acting on impulse, and I'm worried she'll do something irreparable!"

As Ye Ling'er's best friend, Lin Wan'er was extremely anxious when she learned about this, and her words revealed deep worry.

"Oh, this Miss Ye is really a person of temperament, she can be called..."

When Fan Xian heard this, his expression changed slightly, then he chuckled with a bit of admiration and raised his thumb to show his appreciation.

Under the imperial power, Ye Linger actually dared to resist the imperial order by force and broke into the second prince's mansion. Such courage and boldness are truly admirable.

"You're in a very urgent situation, and you still have the mind to praise her?"

And you, I heard from my father that you pointed your sword at Li Chengze in the court, tell me, are you kidding me? That is the imperial power.

Seeing that Fan Xian was not anxious but laughed instead and gave high praise, Lin Wan'er couldn't help feeling helpless. She rolled her eyes and said angrily.

"Don't worry, Miss Ye is indeed a skilled martial artist, but committing a crime in the Second Prince's residence is not an easy task, and she will be sensible and won't make a big fuss.

We will wait patiently and believe that she can handle it properly."

Fan Xian saw that Lin Wan'er's worry had made her confused, so he gently comforted her, trying to calm her anxiety.

"What about yours? Lin Wan'er said..."

Fan Xian shook his head and said

"Is this so scary?"

“This matter can be big or small.”

Fan Xian followed up and said!
……

Seeing Fan Xian, he was dazed again.

Lin Wan'er patted his cheek: "What are you thinking about?" "Oh, by the way, my father said that we should hurry up and get married in the next few days.

Married?
This...is okay.

Well, Lin Ruofu is also far-sighted...

He wanted to use Wan'er's status and the Lin family's endorsement to support himself!
but……

How do they know.

My background is more complicated than they thought!
His father is probably the almighty Emperor Qing.

……

In the deep hall of the imperial palace, Emperor Qing gently stroked the tip of the arrow, with a myriad of thoughts in his mind.

On his left and right, Fan Jian and Chen Pingping stood quietly waiting on him. These two were frequent visitors to him who sought solace in the turbulent world over the years.

Whenever he was troubled, he would always call them close to him to discuss solutions and share his thoughts.

However, there are always exceptions in the world, and the name Ye Qingmei is that unpredictable variable.

In order to consolidate the imperial power and eliminate this potential threat, Emperor Qing had to conceal certain truths from Fan Jian and Chen Pingping.

But knowing that the two were extremely intelligent, he also vaguely realized that everything about Ye Qingmei might have already left a mark in their hearts.

Ye Qingmei's disappearance was like the calm after a storm, and Chen Pingping, with his unmatched sharp knife, quietly carried out the task of cleaning up the royal family's clutter.

At this moment, facing the Second Prince, the continuation of his bloodline, Emperor Qing was in deep struggle.

Cultivating successors is the unavoidable mission of every emperor and the inevitable path to power inheritance.

The stability of imperial power is never taken for granted; it requires the constant injection of wisdom and decision-making.

Emperor Qing knew very well that the future of the Second Prince not only concerned his personal destiny, but also the future direction of the empire.

At this moment, he once again looked at Chen Pingping, the "sharp knife".
My heart is filled with mixed emotions.

Should he be used again to deal with the possible storms? Emperor Qing's eyes revealed some hesitation, but also flashed with determination.

After all, for the continuation of the family and the stability of imperial power, some decisions, even if difficult, must be made.

The emperor will die too.

Although he has the strength of a grandmaster, he can only live a little longer...

"Chen Pingping...what do you think about letting the second prince gain military power?" There was a long silence.

This question was still asked.

Chen Pingping lowered his head and smiled: "Your Majesty, this kind of thing...you ask me, how should I answer? Old Fan, why don't you tell me!"

Fan Jian was speechless: "Are you bullying an honest person? His Majesty is asking you!"

You dare not say it?
I dare to say it?
This person is so cunning!
"Speak up and answer everything! Speak one by one~!"

Emperor Qing placed the arrow in his hand on the table, picked up the tea and took a sip, then stared at the two of them.

These two old guys...are no longer my study partners.

People get old.

This heart is alive... There are some things you dare not say, but I want you to say them! Once this kind of pressure comes out...

Chen Pingping broke out in cold sweat.

He said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, originally... it would be fine to put the Second Prince in solitary confinement. It would be a good thing if he could gain military power. But... now, I'm afraid it's a little inappropriate..."

Speaking of which.

Chen Pingping looked at Emperor Qing, but stopped talking...

But Emperor Qing pressed him again, "What's wrong?"

"This……"

Chen Pingping was a little embarrassed, but he could only tell the truth: "The Second Prince has been very smart since he was young... and he is competing with the Crown Prince for the throne. If he has military power, I'm afraid it will pose a threat to the imperial power~!"

As soon as the words came out.

The atmosphere is even colder...

Fan Jian was depressed. Why the hell did you ask me for this kind of thing? My son asked me to go home for dinner...

It would be a waste of time to talk nonsense with you here.

How could Emperor Qing not know about the threat to the imperial power?
He just wants peace of mind...

"Fan Jian, what do you think?"

Emperor Qing looked at Fan Jian and questioned.

Fan Jian bowed and said, "Your Majesty, regarding this point...I don't quite agree. The Second Prince is smart and knows how to make choices. He is willing to protect the reputation of Daqing. He is a real man!"

"If you say this threatens the imperial power, I'm afraid it's alarmist!"

Based on years of experience.

At this time.

You have to do the opposite.

If we follow what Chen Pingping said.

I'm afraid Emperor Qing will be unhappy...

Then there will be trouble again!
This guy is no longer the childhood friend he once was... He is moody~!
"Oh? What if he rebels?"

Emperor Qing asked.

Fan Jian said in panic: "Will he? Chen Pingping, will he?!" Chen Pingping tightly grasped the wheelchair armrests and cursed in his heart: Old thing... why the hell are you asking me? You are going to kill me!
"Oh? What do you mean?"

"Didn't Your Majesty arrange a marriage for the Second Prince some time ago?" Fan Jian reminded.

Chen Pingping's mind suddenly brightened and he continued, "That's right, Old Fan is very smart! Your Majesty, if you let the Second Prince marry Ye Ling'er, maybe they will have a child..."

Emperor Qing was speechless. If he had a child, would he have one?
Moreover, even if there are children.

According to the character of the second brother, if he really wanted to rebel, would he have any scruples?!
Seeing that Emperor Qing was dissatisfied.

Chen Pingping continued, "If we can't have an heir right away, how about finding a reason to let Ye Chong supervise the army?"

You old silver coin!
No wonder you have a limp...

Fan Jian cursed in his heart, using Ye Ling'er to threaten Ye Zhong... letting Ye Zhong take care of the Second Prince, and at the same time having the Ye family's Grandmaster guard him...

If the Second Prince dares to rebel, he will be dead before he even reaches Kyoto...

Emperor Qing thought for a moment and laughed: "Okay, okay, come on, how long has it been since the three of us last had a drink..."

Is this agreed?
Fan Jian and Chen Pingping both breathed a sigh of relief...

Your early traces all around.

"Oh? What do you mean?"

"Didn't Your Majesty arrange a marriage for the Second Prince some time ago?" Fan Jian reminded.

Chen Pingping's mind suddenly brightened up and he continued, "That's right, Old Fan is very smart!
Your Majesty, let the Second Prince marry Ye Ling'er before leaving Beijing, maybe they will have a child..."

Emperor Qing was speechless. If he had a child, would he have one?
Moreover, even if there are children.

According to the character of the second brother, if he really wanted to rebel, would he have any scruples?!
Seeing that Emperor Qing was dissatisfied.

Chen Pingping continued, "If we can't have an heir right away, how about finding a reason to let Ye Chong supervise the army?"

You old silver coin!
No wonder you have a limp...

Fan Jian cursed in his heart, using Ye Ling'er to threaten Ye Zhong... letting Ye Zhong take care of the Second Prince, and at the same time having the Ye family's Grandmaster guard him...

If the Second Prince dares to rebel, he will be dead before he even reaches Kyoto...

Emperor Qing thought for a moment and laughed: "Okay, okay, come on, how long has it been since the three of us last had a drink..."

Is this agreed?
Fan Jian and Chen Pingping both breathed a sigh of relief...
