Chapter 51: % Progress Achieved

It was difficult to hear secret conversations in Chen Garden, so the content of their conversation was never known.

Emperor Qing’s mind raced.

Because of what happened yesterday, Emperor Qing thought that Chen Pingping was helping to test Li Chengyun.

Recalling what happened at yesterday's court meeting, he couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Suddenly, Emperor Qing asked the eunuch Hou who was standing beside him:
"What do you think of Lao Liu?"

When Eunuch Hou heard this, he was quite confused. He could not figure out what Emperor Qing meant, so he could only speak vaguely and say good things:

"Your Highness Prince Yan is naturally a rare talent. Although he was a bit naughty before, I believe he can understand the hard work of Your Majesty."

"Moreover, the King of Yan is extremely powerful. Given time, he may become a great master. In this way, the power of our Qing Kingdom will surely grow stronger, and Your Majesty will not have to worry about foreign invasions every day."

Emperor Qing heard this, but he didn't comment, and said calmly:
"You praise him so much, don't you think that I should make the King of Yan the Crown Prince?"

When Eunuch Hou heard this, his body froze for a moment, cold sweat broke out on his back, beads of sweat also oozed out of his forehead, and he said tremblingly:

"Your Majesty, this question is beyond the ability of a servant to answer."

"However, I secretly think that although His Royal Highness Prince Yan is young, he has already made many remarkable achievements, and his prestige is self-evident."

"Only in terms of real achievements, there may still be some shortcomings."

Whenever facing Emperor Qing, Eunuch Hou would silently recite a motto in his heart: Don't play tricks, and answer all the questions asked by His Majesty truthfully.

Therefore, when Emperor Qing asked him about his opinion on Li Chengyun, he did not hide anything and told him what he thought truthfully.

After hearing this, Emperor Qing remained silent, as if he was thinking about something.

Although he asked this question, he actually never thought of making Li Chengyun the crown prince.

This was not only because of his fear of Li Chengyun, but also because of his mother.

Emperor Qing knew very well that the death of Concubine Hui was actually caused by Ye Qingmei, and Ye Qingmei's death was the one he planned.

The death of Concubine Hui was indeed closely related to him.

In other words, he, as a father, became the enemy who murdered his son's mother.

And it is not just one son, but two sons.

Emperor Qing treats Li Chengyun and Fan Xian with the same attitude.

Although they are his sons, they still need to be on guard at all times.

Even if Fan Xian stirs up the situation and creates huge waves in Kyoto, Emperor Qing can tolerate it.

However, the matter of holding power must never be allowed.

This was because he was worried that Fan Xian would one day discover the truth and the conspiracy behind the death of Ye Qingmei, and that it was actually Emperor Qing himself.

The same applies to Li Chengyun's case.

Now that Li Chengyun is powerful enough, if he knew that the death of his mother Hui Guipin was related to him, would he attack him regardless of the consequences?
Emperor Qing didn't dare to gamble, nor did he want to gamble.

He is the most distinguished person in Qing Kingdom, and he cherishes his life like gold. He will never put himself in danger easily, and will never gamble with his life or take risky actions.

Even though he is among the grand masters, the outcome of his battle against another grand master is still shrouded in mystery and unpredictable.

Although Emperor Qing was confident, a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. As the emperor, he would not put himself in danger.

After careful consideration, he came up with a plan.

Why not let Li Chengyun lead the army to attack Northern Qi or Dongyi City?

Both of these forces have grand masters in charge.

Whether Dongyi City or Northern Qi was conquered, or Li Chengyun was defeated and his great master Huang was lost, it would be a great benefit to Emperor Qing.

If the grandmasters of both sides could fight until both were defeated, that would be the situation he would like to see.

He was secretly calculating in his heart, and his ambition to unify the world was brewing.

As long as he weakened Li Chengyun's power to the point where he could regain control, he would be able to control this man with peace of mind.

Li Chengyun was gifted, and it was almost certain that he would become a Grandmaster in the future. A Grandmaster with unlimited potential was a rare helper for him.

At that time, he can use various insurance measures on Li Chengyun to ensure that this person is firmly under his control.

In addition to this, Emperor Qing had a second consideration in his mind.

In the past, Li Chengyun was just a powerless and dissolute prince. Emperor Qing suspected that he was incompetent, so he arranged for him to marry Fan Ruoruo in order to cultivate a force to serve as a whetstone for the prince.

However, today, he no longer hopes that Li Chengyun and Fan Ruoruo will get married.

This move means that the Fan family and Li Chengyun will be tightly bound together, which will not only make Li Chengyun's power stronger, but also make him increasingly difficult to control and out of control.

……

the other side.

After leaving Chen Garden, Li Chengyun finally returned to the familiar place - Zuixianju.

The Prince of Yan's Mansion given by Emperor Qing has not yet been completed.

Zuixianju is more familiar and comfortable to him.

He leaned on the bed and leisurely opened the system mirror.

I saw that the performance progress had quietly climbed to 20%.

The rewards for the Great Snow Dragon Rider are now available.

However, Li Chengyun was not in a hurry, because he was in Kyoto at the moment. If ten thousand Snow Dragon Riders suddenly appeared out of nowhere, it would be difficult to justify it.

Moreover, where to place these 10,000 cavalrymen is also a difficult problem.

If we can go to the border, we may be able to resolve this dilemma, Li Chengyun thought to himself.

……

And in the Fan family mansion.

Fan Xian, Fan Sizhe and others heard about Li Chengyun's deeds from Fan Jian.

Fan Xian was extremely shocked and found it difficult to calm down.

He never expected that Li Chengyun, who had killed the crown prince in public yesterday, would suddenly transform himself into the King of Yan today, and even become a hero who killed rebels and made outstanding contributions.

Could this be the supreme glory that comes with having the help of a grandmaster?

How could Emperor Qing ignore the pain of losing his son and entrust him with such an important task?

Fan Sizhe had a proud look on his face and was very excited.

He had never expected that his eldest brother could be made a king so quickly, and even kill the prince whom he hated so much.

In this way, when he goes out with the boss in the future, who would dare to provoke them easily?
Fan Ruoruo listened quietly at the side, feeling mixed emotions.

At first, she was worried about whether Li Chengyun would fall into danger, but after hearing that he had made great military achievements and was named King of Yan, she couldn't help but feel an indescribable joy in her heart.

However, she knew it was not appropriate to show it in front of others, so she could only bury this joy deep in her heart.

Fan Sizhe's eyes wandered at this moment, and he couldn't help but look at his sister, with a playful smile on his face, he said softly:

"Sister, the boss is in a very dangerous situation right now. If something happens to him, and you are already engaged to him, won't you end up as a widow?"

When Fan Ruoruo heard this, she frowned slightly and glared at him. Her face instantly turned red as shame, and she felt both embarrassed and annoyed.

She thought to herself that Fan Sizhe had such an unlucky mouth that he could say such unlucky words, which really annoyed her. This brother was really annoying.

Fan Jian's face was gloomy at this time, his brows were furrowed, and he looked worried.

Just as he had worried at the court meeting, Li Chengyun was now surrounded by undercurrents and the situation was complicated, drawing him in like a whirlpool.

If there were three princes in the court, with balanced power and forming a tripartite situation, he could consider marrying his daughter to Li Chengyun.

However, in the current situation, Li Chengyun is almost the only one in power and has great influence in the government, which makes him feel hesitant and worried.
