Traveling through books to ancient times, I provoke the love of villains and powerful ministers

However, just three days after Ansheng's birthday, there was another rumor in the palace.

The emperor actually took His Royal Highness Prince Jin to accompany him to the alchemy room to refine elixirs.

At first, even Li Qiming, who recommended the alchemist to Emperor Qitai, failed to receive the news.

Li Qiming originally wanted to make trouble for Qi Jin in public in the court and announced that he would send Qi Jin to the southwest to quell the chaos, but he failed to see Qi Jin come to court for several days.

With such a big deal caught by him, how could Li Qiming let it go so easily? He was about to attack Qi Jin when Li Dequan, who was beside his father, unexpectedly came to the court.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince." Li Dequan saluted Li Qiming, then turned to look at the civil and military officials, "According to the emperor's instructions, I have left King Jin to discuss important matters. King Jin does not need to go to court during this period."

Not only Li Qiming, but also all the officials were deeply shocked when they heard the news.

The emperor, who had not even paid attention to the government affairs for a long time, actually left King Jin to discuss important matters?

Before anyone could react, Li Dequan had already left the hall.

But at this moment, His Highness the Crown Prince's face was as dark as coal. If it hadn't been for the court meeting, he would have pulled out his group of people and reprimanded them.

A group of people with wine and rice bags, King Jin all ran to the emperor, but he didn't receive any news.

He wanted to let Qi Jin go to quell the rebellion in the southwest, but now Qi Jin was left by his father by his side. How dare he compete with his father to steal people?

Throughout the court meeting, Li Qiming had a sullen face, and he would scold the ministers for their slightest mistakes.

After finally getting through the court meeting, all the ministers breathed a sigh of relief.

Only Li Qiming was left in the palace, who had calmed down a lot. He began to think about how Qi Jin managed to get past his eyes and go to his father despite the fact that he kept such tight control inside and outside the palace.

What's even more strange is that his father used to be so unfavorable to Qi Jin, but now he is so obsessed with alchemy that he doesn't even bother to greet the Queen Mother, but he actually discusses important matters with Qi Jin.

Li Qiming snorted coldly, ordered his men to investigate the matter thoroughly, and sent down a group of guards guarding Emperor Qitai.

And that Taoist priest, now he dares not to listen to his orders, and he still dares not to inform him about such things.If he didn't have any use for him now, he would have killed him with one sword.

However, Li Qiming didn't know that something even more shocking was waiting for him.

Naturally, he had to find someone to discuss the countermeasures regarding Qi Jin's pursuit of his father.

Unexpectedly, he returned to the mansion to gather a group of counselors, but he still didn't see the figure of the person he relied on most now, Bai Qingxiao.

"Where is Mr. Bai? Go and invite Mr. Bai." He told the attendant beside him, "Go and invite him yourself."

The attendant took the order and quickly went to Bai Qingxiao's residence.

"Mr. Bai, Mr. Bai?"

He shouted several times but no one responded, so he leaned forward and looked inside the ajar door, but he didn't see Bai Qingxiao's figure.

He boldly pushed open the door to Bai Qingxiao's bedroom.

Except for some basic furnishings inside, all Mr. Bai's furnishings that he had seen before when he came here were gone.

He was horrified. It couldn't be that the East Palace had been robbed, right?

Suddenly, he noticed a piece of letter paper pressed with a paperweight on the desk nearby. He walked over and took a look, and was even more shocked.

He picked up the letter and ran back to the prince, handing the letter to the prince with trembling hands.

Li Qiming was originally dissatisfied with the servant who had been away for so long. After reading the letter, he even kicked the servant away.

"First, no one knew about Qi Jin sneaking to the emperor, and now no one even reports the news of Bai Qingxiao's departure. I really have raised a bunch of trash, trash." Li Qiming threw the letter away hatefully.

Bai Qingxiao, the most trusted advisor to the prince, left a letter and quietly left the East Palace. Everyone present was surprised by this news.

Li Qiming was so angry that he pulled out the sword on the shelf behind his seat and stabbed the attendant with one sword.

"Your Highness, calm down and don't be impulsive." Someone tried to dissuade him.

There was also a bold person who picked up the letter and checked it. After a while, the person said: "Mr. Bai has always been a casual person. Now that he has chosen to leave, he will probably never look back. Your Highness, it would be better if you help Mr. Bai." "

"Yes, Your Highness." Someone echoed.

Bai Qingxiao's departure was great news to them. Only when Bai Qingxiao left did they have a chance to get ahead.

The man knelt on the ground with a plop: "We are willing to swear allegiance to His Highness to the death."

"We are willing to swear allegiance to His Highness to the death." Everyone knelt down and said in unison.

Li Qiming had heard too many high-sounding words, and he sneered: "Okay, since you are so loyal, then tell me how Qi Jin got to the emperor, and who should quell the rebellion in the southwest now."

"Since King Jin has been summoned by the Emperor, his current position will naturally have to be replaced. From now on, it is up to you, Your Highness, to decide what position he should take when he returns to the court." A counselor said.

Li Qiming grinned when he heard this: "Keep talking."

"As for those who want to pacify the southwest," the counselor said with a flattering smile, "I think there is one person who is very suitable."

Li Qiming: "Don't beat around the bush, just tell me who it is."

"It is Li Wenkang, the commander of the Beijing Guards." The man said, "If anyone can bypass His Highness's eyes and ears and send people to the emperor without knowing it, I am afraid that only the commander of the Beijing Guards who guards the imperial city can do it. arrive."

"Exactly." Some of the counselors also had this idea. They were afraid that the credit would be taken away by this person, so they hurriedly said, "This can teach Li Wenkang some lessons. Secondly, His Highness can just include the Jingwei Commander's Department. It’s like killing two birds with one stone.”

"Yeah." Li Qiming thought for a moment, "I guess you guys have a good idea."

"The subordinates think it's inappropriate."

Suddenly, a voice came from the corner. Li Qiming followed the sound and found that it was Chen Wenze who had been ignored by him for a long time.

"Oh?" Li Qiming asked him, "What's wrong?"

"First of all, Li Wenkang is a veteran who has been on the battlefield for many years. His achievements in these years were all achieved with real swords and guns on the battlefield. That's why he was promoted to the commander of the Beijing Guard by the emperor. If His Highness allows him to go to the southwest to pacify the Southwest, Chaos, Marquis Pingnan may not be his opponent. If Li Wenkang wins this battle and the credit is taken away by him, His Highness may not be able to convince the public if he is not promoted."

Li Qiming narrowed his eyes: "What you said makes sense."

He raised his hand, signaling Chen Wenze to continue speaking.

"Furthermore, Li Wenkang is the palace guard of the alchemy room appointed by the emperor. He goes to the alchemy room every day to pay homage to the emperor. This shows the emperor's trust in him. Although the emperor does not see outsiders now, if Li Wenkang suddenly leaves If you go, the Emperor will definitely become suspicious. If the Emperor knows that His Highness did not ask for instructions... I'm afraid..."
