Chapter 76 Young Wu Kuang, Daqing Chess Master! Is Fan Xian going to make a comeback? (33, please subscribe!)
A few days later, in the imperial study.

During these few days, Li Changan practiced at full capacity and finally filled the acupoints in his body with true Qi.

Now, the true energy in Li Changan's body is forty or fifty times that of Hong Sixiang.

A great master like Emperor Qing has a hundred or even a thousand times more true qi than Hong Sixiang!
This is the terrifying thing about the Grand Master!
Most warriors store energy in their meridians, Li Changan can store energy in his acupoints, and Emperor Qing can store energy throughout his body.

I came to the Imperial Study today because an assassin entered the palace!

A seventh-rank assassin attempted to assassinate Emperor Qing but was killed in the inner city by Gong Dian.

At this moment, Emperor Qing was scolding Zhuge, "Zhuge! What the hell are you doing with the Inspection Institute?"

"It's bad enough that assassins are becoming more rampant, but now there are assassins breaking into the palace!"

Zhu Ge's face twitched a few times, and then he glanced at Li Changan out of the corner of his eye.

It seems that Li Changan took the lead and successfully forced the assassin into the palace to report to the emperor, so the one who got scolded was Zhu Ge.

The Inspection Institute has a lot of people, but the Huolong Villa has many experts, and Zhu Ge cannot mobilize the experts from the Sixth Department.

Now that Chen Pingping is not here, Zhu Ge, who is temporarily in charge of the Inspection Institute, can only take the blame.

Today, the imperial study only has the crown prince, the second prince, Li Changan, Zhu Ge, and Ye Chong, and it is not very large.

Name: Zhu Ge

Age: 42 years old

Realm: Seventh level lower
Talents: Espionage (seventh rank), Strategy (third rank)

Abilities: Intelligence (9th rank), Management (6th rank), Strategy (5th rank)

Emotion: 50
Zhu Ge is not good at poetry, but his emotional level towards Li Changan is not low, which shows that he is not hostile to him.

In the original drama, Zhu Ge insisted that the Inspection Institute should be in the hands of the royal family so as not to become a tool for rebellion.

Therefore, although Zhu Ge is the eldest princess's man, he is not hostile to Li Changan, who is a prince.

"I am ashamed. I will thoroughly investigate the identity of this assassin, find out the mastermind behind the scenes, and bring all these daring criminals to justice!"

Emperor Qing said coldly, "Don't let your guard down just because Chen Pingping is not here!"

"The war is imminent, and the recent intelligence provided by the Inspection Bureau has been full of mistakes. I don't want this to happen again!"

The Northern Qi assassins entered the palace, and once the truth was found out, they could use this as an excuse to start a war.

Events developed as Emperor Qing had expected, so he did not really get angry.

After scolding Zhu Ge, Emperor Qing turned his gaze to Ye Chong, who knelt down quickly and wisely.

"Your Majesty, the assassin broke into the Imperial Palace. It was the fault of the Kyoto garrison!"

"The Kyoto garrison patrolled day and night, but I didn't expect the assassin to be so cunning and break into the palace."

"This is all my fault. I am ashamed!"

After Ye Zhong's profound self-analysis and reflection, Emperor Qing said nothing more.

When he turned his gaze to Li Changan, Li Changan immediately changed the subject.

"Your Majesty, the war is imminent, and it is important to rally the people's hearts!"

"We Daqing was founded on military power, and our martial virtues are abundant, and the whole world is impressed."

"Your Majesty, I implore you to reopen the military discussion to show that Daqing values ​​martial spirit!"

Emperor Qing was stunned for a moment, as if he thought of something, and smiled.

"Military discussion... is indeed a good way to rally people's hearts before a war."

The so-called martial arts competition is actually a competition in a ring, and then a ranking of martial arts strength is made.

The prince was also stunned. He was originally going to propose a young martial arts forum to help Fan Xian become famous.

In fact, the words between the prince and Guo Baokun were not spread out, and this incident was purely a coincidence.

Because Emperor Qing allowed Li Changan to expand the Shadow Secret Guard, Li Changan took this opportunity to transfer some Luowang martial arts elites into the Shadow Secret Guard.

Reopening the military forum would allow these people to reasonably demonstrate their strength and then join the Shadow Secret Guard.

There is another purpose. If these martial arts elites of Luowang perform well, they will be recruited by the powerful people in Beijing.

Anyway, he has no shortage of dozens of experts, so it would be a good thing to be able to place hidden troops in the homes of the powerful.

More than a decade ago, the military forum was still held every year. Later, when the war in Qing Kingdom stopped and Emperor Qing focused on developing culture, he stopped the military forum.

Emperor Qing thought about it, and then said, "This is a good thing!

However, with the war approaching, it is a pity that some soldiers cannot participate."

"Why don't we hold a youth martial arts forum first... The age limit is sixteen. Sixteen-year-olds can still participate, but those over sixteen can forget about it!"

Li Changan remained calm, but guessed that Emperor Qing was considering Fan Xian.

In order to dig out Sean's secrets about the temple, Fan Xian must be promoted quickly.

In the original timeline, Fan Xian rose to prominence because of his poetry.

Now, as long as Fan Xian has a hint of excellence, Emperor Qing will help him discover it.

All those with connections basically do this when they are promoted in order to shut up the gossips.

Emperor Qing continued, "The military discussion for those over sixteen years old will be held after a great victory."

"Prince Yong, your men are highly skilled in martial arts, but there are too few of them, so I will not deploy them.

It is better to leave the matter of Wuyi to someone else..."

As Emperor Qing spoke, he glanced at the Crown Prince and then at the Second Prince.

The prince regretted so much at this moment that he wanted to slap himself twice. Why did he have to speak last just to appear calm?

If he spoke first, he could have made the proposal before Li Changan.

Now it seems that Emperor Qing is very satisfied with Wu Yi’s proposal!

If it was proposed by the Crown Prince, it would definitely win a lot of points in His Majesty's heart.

"Father, I am willing to take charge of this matter!"

The second prince did not dare to neglect it, "Father, I feel the same way!"

Logically speaking, the prince is responsible for helping Fan Xian restore his reputation, so it is most appropriate to entrust the young martial arts advisor to the prince.

But Emperor Qing said, "Li Chengze has been very idle lately, so you should do it!"

"Prince, hurry up and take care of your own affairs, and don't think about picking up your uncle Prince Yong's ready-made ideas!"

The prince took a deep breath, his teeth ached from the cold. He had suffered a huge loss this time!
Emperor Qing meant that you, Li Chengqian, should not think of using other people's ideas to restore Fan Xian's reputation.

In other words, the task of restoring Fan Xian's reputation through the Young Martial Arts Forum is now left to the Second Brother. You should think of other ways to help Fan Xian.

Li Chengze's face was flushed with excitement, "Father, I will definitely fulfill my mission!"

My father has given me the opportunity to win over Fan Xian. It turns out that my father is still partial to me!

Li Changan looked at Li Chengqian and Li Chengze and couldn't help but feel sorry for the two brothers. After all, he had watched them grow up since they were young.

That's not quite right. We grew up together.

Emperor Qing, this old man, treats his sons like monkeys, instigates his sons to fight each other, and also helps his illegitimate son by the way.

My conscience is so bad!

……

Li Changan returned to the palace and told Jingwei, Wang Qinian and Xing Yusen about Wu Yi's affairs.

Jing Wei, who is hiding in the dark, is in charge of Luowang's intelligence. Wang Qinian, who is in the open, is the commander of the Shadow Secret Guard, and Xing Yusen is the deputy commander.

The six sword slaves also belong to Luowang. Qingwen and Xiren are with Li Changan, and the remaining four are under Jingniu's command. "Jingniu, how many people are sixteen years old or younger and have a cultivation level of rank seven or above in the Luowang strongholds across Nanqing?"

Jingwei had always kept in mind the personnel situation of Luowang, "There should be around fifty people who can be transferred over."

"Although they have good martial arts talents, they are still young after all. There are only three of them at the eighth rank, and about ten above the seventh rank."

Li Changan said, "Then transfer them all to Kyoto and let them participate in the Kyoto Youth Martial Arts Conference according to their respective identities."

"The initial plan is that thirty of the fifty people will join the Shadow Secret Guard, and twenty will infiltrate various powerful people."

The elites transferred from Luowang in various places have all undergone intelligence training and can directly serve as spies.

Wang Qinian said, "I think the top ten in this Youth Martial Arts Conference will all be ours."

Li Changan smiled calmly, "No, the first place must be Fan Xian, we will not be in the top three."

"First, His Majesty is determined to promote Fan Xian. If our people show too much strength, the inner court and the Inspection Institute will harm us behind the scenes."

"Secondly, the top three in the martial arts debate will have to meet with His Majesty and have their backgrounds and martial arts sources thoroughly investigated. There is no need for us to make things complicated."

Wang Qinian said, "So, the Young Martial Arts Forum is a means for your Majesty to help Fan Xian restore his reputation."

"But, for us, it is a means to transfer our own people into the Shadow Secret Guard."

Li Changan continued, "Yes, he has his purpose and we have ours, and there is no conflict."

After arranging tasks with several subordinates, Li Changan continued to practice and strive to reach the blue-level pagoda.

It is not difficult to supplement the Shadow Secret Guard through the Young Martial Arts Council, so don't worry too much.

Because he had reached the fourth level of the Yellow Level Buddha, Li Changan's internal Qi surged.

Therefore, his cultivation of the fifth week of Sky Blue Level Pagoda was truly rapid!
With a large amount of Beiming true qi circulating in the meridians and acupoints, Li Changan's physical strength was greatly improved again!
With the foundation of the previous four levels of pagodas, Li Changan felt that the blue level pagoda would have the potential to break through within three months!
The news of the Young Martial Arts Conference spread throughout Southern Qing, and young warriors from all over the country gathered in Kyoto.

A dozen days later, the Youth Martial Arts Conference began, and all the elite young men from Luowang entered the capital.

The strong ones among these young men suppressed their cultivation in the competition, so they were finally ranked after the top ten, but within the top 100.

Without the threat of Luowang's young elites, Fan Xian really had no rivals, and eventually won the first place in the Youth Martial Arts Competition.

Royal study room.

Eunuch Hou was beaming with joy as he described how Fan Xian won the championship in the military debate.

“Your Majesty, you didn’t see that Young Master Fan’s Qi is simply too overbearing!”

"We are both seventh-rank opponents. I am no match for him if we fight him alone. He is so amazing!"

"The Second Prince's eight generals are all here, and they are all full of praise for Young Master Fan!"

"Fan Jian also went to the last show, and he laughed so hard that his eyes couldn't open!"

When Emperor Qing heard what Eunuch Hou said, he let out a long sigh. After all, he is his son and he has something worth showing off.

If Fan Xian really was not good at either literature or martial arts, Emperor Qing would not dare to entrust him with important tasks.

"No matter how good his martial arts skills are, he is still a reckless man. I want him to be in charge of the inner treasury, not to protect it."

"But if you are good at martial arts, at least you have a ladder to advancement. If you are not good at other abilities, you can slowly cultivate them in the future."

As long as you are good at martial arts, there will be reason to give you a position as soon as possible, even in the military.

Only in this way can Fan Xian join the team escorting Sean back to Northern Qi.

Fan Xian went to Beijing, Qi and Qing fought, ceasefire and peace talks, exchange of hostages, the whole plot was planned by Emperor Qing and Chen Pingping.

In such a long plan, unexpected things will keep happening, and the two will have to keep trying to reconcile them.

Fan Xian won the Young Martial Arts Champion, and finally he could make his plan go one step further.

"By the way, the second brother did a great job on this matter. What is the prince doing?"

Eunuch Hou replied, "Your Highnesses are both outstanding people, and each of them has his own ideas."

"Guo Baokun, a disciple of the Crown Prince, took Fan Xian to challenge the masters of the Beijing hand-talk competition and defeated three people in a row!"

"After that, Guo Baokun gave Fan Xian the title of Daqing Chess Saint, and people challenged him every day!"

"Young Master Fan fights in the morning and plays chess in the afternoon, and he has never lost!"

"Guo Baokun even compiled all of Young Master Fan's victories into a book called The Records of the Chess Saint!"

Emperor Qing said with relief, "That's good. This kid's ten years in Danzhou have not been wasted."

"Chang'an is the master of poetry, calligraphy and painting, and Fan Xian will be the chess master of Daqing!"

……

Guangxin Palace.

Li Yunrui sighed faintly, "You and Lao Er are vying to help Fan Xian restore his reputation."

"Your Majesty used your two resources and connections to help Fan Xian gain promotion. You two are losing out."

The prince said bitterly, "If it weren't for the fact that the second brother was so fierce in his fight, I really wouldn't want to try so hard to help Fan Xian.

It is best for the inner treasury's financial power to be in the hands of my aunt."

Li Yunrui smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. I've said it before. You do your thing, I do mine, and we each do our own thing."

"Now that you have made some progress in restoring Fan Xian's reputation, I am almost ready as well."

The prince's expression brightened and he asked, "Aunt, do you have a way to kill Fan Xian?"

"Your Majesty attaches great importance to him. If you want to make a move, you must hit him right away and not make any mistakes!"

"Right now in Kyoto, the Shadow Secret Guards and the Inspection Bureau are conducting very strict inspections, so it's better to be careful."

Li Yunrui said unconcernedly, "Don't worry, my aunt controls the Junshan Society and can use more methods than you."

"If you want to kill Fan Xian, you can't use people from our Qing Kingdom. Use people from Dongyi City or Northern Qi. It can also help His Majesty find an excuse to start a war."

The prince said angrily, "Uncle Yong has helped my father find an excuse to start a war."

Li Yunrui snorted coldly, "Driving the assassin into the palace? This little trick is nothing, I want to do something big!"

"To help His Majesty, you still have to rely on me. Li Changan is still young!"

"Isn't Fan Xian the top martial arts champion? I'll find him a few more opponents!
I guarantee that he will die completely, hahaha..."

Lin Xiangfu.

Ye Ling'er had her arm in a sling and her eyes were almost swollen from crying.

"Wan'er, I know Fan Xian has a crush on you!"

"But if you marry Fan Xian, I will break up with you!"

Lin Wan'er didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She and Li Changan were almost going to be a real couple, so why would she marry Fan Xian?

"Alright Ling'er, I swear to heaven that I, Lin Wan'er, will never marry Fan Xian in this lifetime!"

Seeing Lin Wan'er's serious words, Ye Ling'er felt much better. "Last time at the Jingwang Mansion poetry gathering, I exposed him for you."

"As a result, when I faced him in the Young Martial Arts Competition, he actually broke my right hand. The Martial Arts Competition clearly stated that the limit was a certain point."

"He deliberately used ruthlessness next time just to wait for an opportunity to take revenge on me!"

Lin Wan'er had just heard Ye Ling'er talk about this matter many times.

"Ling'er, I'm very grateful that you helped me expose him last time."

"This time... I'll help you vent your anger!"

Ye Ling'er's eyes widened. "You can't even kill a chicken, how can you help me vent my anger?"
