Chapter 75 Emperor Qing: Prince Yong, come and assassinate me! (23, please subscribe!)
It was not until this time that someone came up to check Fan Xian's badge of authority.

After checking everything, everyone bowed to him and said, "Greetings, Sir!"

Seeing that the badge of the Commissioner was really useful, Fan Xian could not help but feel delighted.

"My teacher Fei Jie is in charge, is he in the academy?"

The clerks replied, "This is unfortunate. Mr. Fei is not in the courtyard recently."

Fan Xian asked again, "Since you have acknowledged that I am the Chief Secretary, then where do I work?"

These petty officials were obviously not clear about the questions raised by Fan Xian.

"The position of the Commissioner of the Court has been vacant for a long time. We don't know where the Master works."

"Yes, I have been in the hospital for ten years and have never seen a living Lord Tisi."

"No, I remember there was a Ti Si Lang in the courtyard. I wonder if he is related to Lord Ti Si?"

"Judging from the names of their official positions, they should be related!"

After some discussion, they sent one person to take Fan Xian to find Ti Silang.

After many twists and turns, Fan Xian entered a dark door.

If he hadn't been holding the badge in his hand, he wouldn't have dared to go in.

The clerk said to the people in the room, "Master Zong, the Chief Secretary is here!"

The middle-aged man sitting behind the desk glanced at Fan Xian and asked, "Danzhou, Fan Xian?"

Fan Xian nodded quickly, "Yes, it is Fan Xian who came from Danzhou. My family will pay for the tuition."

The man asked again, "Is it the Fan Xian who was attacked by a woman when he entered the city and then spent a day in the Jingdu Prefecture Jail?"

Fan Xian's face turned slightly red. "Since you knew I was in trouble, why didn't you come to rescue me?"

The man chuckled, "This is just a small problem, why would the Inspection Bureau need to intervene?"

"Besides, if you don't come to report, why should we save you?"

The man sent the clerk away, then bowed to Fan Xian and said, "I am Lang Zongzhui, the Chief Secretary. I am honored to meet you, Mr. Chief Secretary."

Seeing Zong Zhui's respectful attitude, Fan Xian said with some doubt, "Tisi, should be older than Tisi Lang."

Zong Zhui replied, "The position of the Director is just below the Dean, and is on the same level as the heads of the eight departments.

The position of the Ti Si Lang is second only to the Dean and Ti Si in the academy, and he does not listen to orders from others. "

Fan Xian nodded, "You obey my orders. Where is your dean? Since I'm here, I must meet the dean, right?"

Zong Zhui looked at Fan Xian with satisfaction. This man still knew the rules.

"The dean is not here. He has ordered me to follow him."

Fan Xian smiled and said, "I am on the same level as the head of the Eighth Department. The other heads have hundreds of people under them, but you are the only one under me?"

Zong Zhui nodded and said, "Your Excellency's opinion is profound, that's it."

Fan Xian in this timeline was tricked when he entered the city, so he felt very insecure.

The badge of the Commissioner of Inspection in his hand now is the strongest power he can command.

"Zong Zhui, I want to investigate an assassination case..."

As soon as Fan Xian opened his mouth, Zong Zhui took over the conversation.

"Xu Yunzhang, the fourth officer of the Inspection Bureau, forged a secret order and ordered Teng Zijing, the head of the fourth officer, to assassinate you."

"Teng Zijing was killed by you, and Xu Yunzhang committed suicide out of fear of punishment. This case is under the personal supervision of the dean, and you have no right to interfere."

Fan Xian only now realized that the stubborn man he pushed off the cliff was named Teng Zijing.

Xu Yunzhang committed suicide. It seems that there are serious consequences, and it was actually supervised by the dean himself.

"Zong Zhui, does Xu Yunzhang have any special background?

For example, is it the Crown Prince's people, or the Second Prince's people?"

Zong Zhui quickly covered Fan Xian's mouth, "This matter cannot be discussed, so the dean is personally supervising it."

After learning about the duties of the Commissioner, Fan Xian was unwilling to sit still and wait for death. He wanted to investigate the assassination case in Danzhou, even a case that would destroy his reputation.

"Zong Zhui, come with me. If we can't investigate publicly, we'll investigate privately!"

Zong Zhui did not object to Fan Xian's request at all. "Does your Excellency have any ideas?"

Fan Xian pondered and said, "Xu Yunzhang's background should be known from his daily interactions. Where can I get such information?"

Zong Zhui replied, "There is a shop in Kyoto that specializes in buying and selling news. We can go and take a look."

When Fan Xian heard that there was such a place where he could buy ready-made information, he happily went there with Zong Zhui.

Half an hour later, Fan Xian really bought Xu Yunzhang's favor from a shabby little shop.

It was clearly written on the piece of paper that Xu Yunzhang had close contacts with the Eastern Palace, and Xu Yunzhang was actually the prince's man!
In the royal study.

Eunuch Hou bowed to Emperor Qing and said, "Your Majesty, Young Master Fan has bought the news about Xu Yunzhang."

"Xu Yunzhang's case was supervised by the director of the inspection department himself. Young Master Fan felt that it was very strange that he could buy such information."

"But by the time he reacted and turned back, our people had already withdrawn."

This humble news shop was actually controlled by the inner court, otherwise it would have been closed down by the Inspection Office long ago.

Emperor Qing flipped through the book in his hand and said without raising his head, "Very good, give it all to him. I'm not afraid of him knowing!"

Eunuch Hou said worriedly, “Young Master Fan encountered a series of setbacks as soon as he arrived in Beijing.

Now that he knows that it was the prince who assassinated him, I wonder if he will become timid. "

Emperor Qing said expressionlessly, "If that's the case, how can he take on such a big responsibility? The sea of ​​fire is a test in itself."

"His reputation was ruined by the palace maid. He was unprepared as a newcomer. I relied on my old face to withstand the strong opposition from Prime Minister Lin and the harem and did not cancel the marriage."

"The rest depends on his determination and skills."

Eunuch Hou said, "Young Master Fan fell in love with Princess Yichen at first sight, so he came to Kyoto."

"However, Princess Yichen is lukewarm towards him, and Young Master Lin and Miss Ye treat Fan Xian like an enemy."

When Emperor Qing heard what Eunuch Hou said, he couldn't help but laugh and curse, "Hey! You're a eunuch!"

"What do you know about love at first sight? Let me tell you, Fan Xian was just attracted by beauty!"

“If he can’t even win Wan’er over, and can’t even coax a little girl, even if he controls the inner treasury’s financial power, he might suffer more than Li Yunrui!”

Eunuch Hou smiled awkwardly, "Princess Yichen's poems are famous in the capital today, young Master Fan must work hard."

Emperor Qing sneered, "Haha! What's the point of a little talent? I was able to win over the most extraordinary woman in the world back then!"

Emperor Qing spoke of his glorious past without blushing or beating his heart, as if he had completely forgotten about being drugged and having his sperm siphoned off.

"Wan'er is just a little smarter, but she has a simple mind. She is also very obedient and a lady from a noble family, not as crazy as her mother."

"Fan Xian, ah Fan Xian, I hope you won't let me down!"

After talking about Fan Xian, Emperor Qing then talked about the situation of the assassins in the capital.

"By the way, are assassins still rampant in the capital today?"

Eunuch Hou said, “Yes, there are still many assassins in the capital. Many assassins have visited the Prime Minister, Fan Mansion, Qin Mansion, and Ye Mansion.”

"Your Majesty is wise. He asked the masters of Hulong Villa to help guard against assassins. None of those assassins succeeded." Emperor Qing smiled knowingly. "I'm afraid those sixth and seventh rank assassins couldn't even climb over the walls of these houses and were beaten to death!"

Emperor Qing guessed correctly. Li Changan's shadow guards drove the assassins to the vicinity of these families, and then they were easily killed by the masters of these families.

There are forty to fifty masters above the seventh rank in the Prime Minister's Mansion. The Fan family is even protected by the Tiger Guards. Both the Qin and Ye families have ninth rank masters. These assassins are simply forced to die.

Li Changan did this in order to create an atmosphere in which assassins in Kyoto were rampant and the Northern Qi and the Dongyi were bullying Daqing too much, in order to build momentum for starting a war.

This was also the meaning of the sarcastic imperial edict that Emperor Qing gave to Li Changan.

Emperor Qing is a man who never speaks nicely and always wants you to guess.

If you guess it right, just do it, but don’t point it out yet.

If you do it badly, you will be punished; if you do it well, whether you will be praised or not depends on your mood.

Emperor Qing continued with a smile, "Go and tell Li Changan what to do!"

"How come assassins in the capital are still so rampant? Several important officials have been assassinated."

"If you don't do your job well, the assassins will break into the palace!"

Eunuch Hou understood that the emperor's instruction was a sarcasm, urging Li Changan to force the assassin into the palace.

"I obey your order. Since it is a reprimand, do you want to fine Prince Yong's salary?"

Emperor Qing replied, "No need to punish him. If there are no assassins breaking into the palace in a few days, it won't be too late to punish him!"

……

The next day, Prince Yong’s Mansion.

Li Changan turned the imperial edict in his hand and cursed Emperor Qing in his heart for being boring. Couldn't he just say what he wanted to say?

Jingwei flashed out from the darkness, pouted his lips, and looked unconvinced.

"You emperor, can't you just speak properly?"

"Your Highness was clearly asked to create the illusion that an assassin had entered the palace to commit murder, but you chose to scold Your Highness."

Jingwei didn't know that Emperor Qing was a great master who was superior to everyone else.

The only enemies in his eyes were the other four great masters, Wu Zhu, and Barrett.

The rest of the people and things were under his control, including the fight for the throne between the Crown Prince and the Second Prince, and Fan Xian.

Li Changan has the system, so logically he just needs to develop quietly and not get involved in any messy things.

But with Emperor Qing here, he will definitely torment you, thoroughly test the bottom line of your ability, and then let you go.

If the young Li Changan wanted to follow the path of a leisurely prince like Prince Jing, he would have to keep being humiliated and act cowardly, so that Emperor Qing would think that he was indeed incompetent.

Li Changan has always believed that if you pretend to be stupid for too long, you will become really stupid, and if you pretend to be timid too much, you will become really timid.

If people choose to show weakness for a long time when faced with critical choices, it will have a significant impact on their abilities and insights.

When facing another time traveler, Fan Xian, Li Changan took the initiative to seize the opportunity, forcing Fan Xian to pretend to be timid.

Because Fan Xian pretended to be timid and did not stand out as he did in the original timeline, the tests and hardships he faced were much weaker.

Therefore, in the world that Li Changan travels to, Fan Xian will also grow into a different person.

"Jingwei, this cannot be said openly. To say it openly means, Prince Yong, quickly send someone to assassinate me!"

"This kind of oral order cannot be passed on, but this is also Emperor Qing's style. It is indeed a bit annoying."

"Fortunately, there are two princes, the eldest princess, and Fan Xian in front of us, so we are not the focus of his attention."

"Therefore, I must work hard to cultivate and become a Grandmaster as soon as possible. Then I will not be afraid of him."

Jingwei chuckled and said, "I look forward to the day when Your Highness becomes a Grandmaster."

"Your Highness, there is a piece of news forwarded by Northern Qi Luowang that may require your attention."

"The princess controls the inner treasury. The two major distributors of the inner treasury, the Cui family and the Ming family, have long been engaged in smuggling with Northern Qi and Dongyi City."

"Recently, the Cui family exchanged a spy network in Kyoto with Jinyiwei Commander Shen Zhong in exchange for increasing the smuggling of large quantities of materials."

"It is unknown which spy network it was. The members of the network that infiltrated the Jinyiwei have limited positions, but this matter should be instructed by the eldest princess."

At this point in time, the spy network that Li Yunrui had obtained at the cost of huge smuggling profits could only be Si Lili's.

Li Yunrui used Si Lili's token to mobilize Cheng Jushu to kill Fan Xian.

Si Lili's branch was only responsible to the Northern Qi royal family and was not under the control of the Jinyiwei, so it was not surprising that it was sold out by Shen Zhong.

It seems that the Crown Prince and the Second Prince want to win over Fan Xian, but the Princess's firm determination to assassinate Fan Xian has not wavered.

"Recently, let Luowang in various places pay attention to the movements of the assassin organizations. If there are any powerful assassins entering the capital, let Lao Wang and his men rush them to the palace."

These days, Wang Qinian has been leading the Shadow Guards to search for assassins in the city, so he can go and do this.

In the original drama, this task was undertaken by the Inspection Institute, who used spies to instigate an assassin from Northern Qi to enter the palace and commit assassination.

The assassin entered the palace to assassinate the emperor but was killed on the spot by a palace pawn. Emperor Qing originally wanted to use this incident as an excuse to attack Northern Qi.

However, the Niulan Street assassination happened at that time. The emperor and his ministers acted together and put the blame on Northern Qi, and then they launched an uprising.

According to the information Jingwei just told me, the Niulan Street assassination will still happen.

East Palace.

The prince stood on the small attic on the second floor and scolded Guo Baokun for half an hour.

"As a palace editor, you can't even handle such a small matter!"

"Guo Baokun, have you read all those poems and military strategies into a dog's stomach?"

Guo Baokun wiped the sweat from his forehead and immediately explained, "Your Highness, I have learned my lesson."

"After a detailed discussion with Fan Xian, I have come up with a new method that will definitely help Fan Xian become famous!"

The prince frowned and said, "Tell me, I want to hear what good ideas you have!"

Guo Baokun said with a serious look, "Fan Xian is a man of poor literary skills, and his best skills are chess and martial arts!"

"When he was in Danzhou, he was already unrivaled in martial arts. Even the elders in the city were no match for him."

"His martial arts skills are even more powerful. He is only sixteen years old, but he has already broken through to the eighth level!"

"Your Highness, Commander Gong is over 40 years old, and he is only at the peak of the eighth rank. This shows that Fan Xian has great potential in martial arts!"

If you want to help Fan Xian become famous, you should start with chess and martial arts instead of organizing some stupid poetry gathering!
Fan Xian was not good at writing, and at the poetry meeting he failed to show his face but instead showed his butt.

Guo Baokun continued, "I know all the masters of hand fighting in the capital. I can take Fan Xian to visit them and learn from them!"

"As for martial arts, I can also take Fan Xian with me to challenge the famous young masters in the capital!"

Hearing what Guo Baokun said, the prince frowned.

"You can become famous by playing chess this way. As long as you win one or two games, there will be people who will come to you to ask for advice."

"You can't do this to gain fame through fighting. Daqing is a country founded on military power. If you and Fan Xian do this, you will offend a lot of people."

"Why don't I ask my father to reinstate the Youth Martial Arts Conference and allow all youths sixteen years old and under to participate."

"In this way, even if the Qin family boy and the Ye family girl lose, they will not hate you or me."
