Chapter 35: Blaming Dongyi City and Supervising the Battle
"Your Highness Prince Wen, although I don't have direct evidence at the moment, many clues indicate that Si Lili is inextricably linked to this case!"

"The Niulan Street incident caused a huge sensation. Now the people of Qing are in a panic. Your Highness is the King of Wen. Shouldn't you help the government and find out the truth as soon as possible?"

Chen Pingping pressed the issue.

In his opinion, what intellectuals like Li Chengping care most about is reputation.

Li Chengping didn't care and smiled faintly.

"President Chen, the Niulan Street incident should be the responsibility of your Supervisory Council."

"As King Wen, I will naturally assist the Supervisory Council in handling the case, but the laws of Qing Kingdom emphasize fairness and strictness, and everything must be based on evidence."

"I think Dean Chen would never frame a good person? Of course, he would never let a bad person go!"

Chen Pingping's face darkened.

"Your Highness, the people of Kyoto are very concerned about this matter. If this matter gets out, it will probably have a bad impact on your reputation!"

"Reputation is nothing to me, Dean Chen. I still say the same thing. If you have evidence, just come and arrest me. I will never stop you."

"But if you don't have any evidence, I will welcome you to visit Prince Wen's Mansion. But if you come to Prince Wen's Mansion to cause trouble..."

Before Li Chengping could finish his words, Emperor Qing glared back at him.
"Shut up! Dean Chen risked his life for Qing Country, how can you be so disrespectful? Besides, Dean Chen believes in fairness and justice, so he would never do such a thing!"

"Why don't you apologize quickly?"

Emperor Qing scolded angrily.

"I'm sorry, Dean. I was impulsive just now."

Li Chengping bowed and saluted.

The two of them sang in unison, which made Chen Pingping completely lose his temper.

He could see that it was obvious that he would not be able to defeat Si Lili today. After all, this was also because he was not well prepared.

"Reporting to His Majesty, on the day when the Niulan Street incident broke out, I unexpectedly saw the shadow of Dongyi City at the scene." Li Chengping said.

If you want to save Si Lili, you must change your target, and Dongyi City is very suitable.

Emperor Qing frowned and turned to look at Chen Pingping: "Is this true?"

"Your Majesty, people from Dongyi City have indeed been sneaking into Kyoto City in disguise recently. I think this matter has something to do with them!"

Chen Pingping bowed slightly.

He is a man who knows how to judge the situation. It is no longer realistic to catch Si Lili today. In this case, it is better to follow Emperor Qing's wishes and let the case go.

Anyway, the Supervisory Council didn't suffer any losses in this incident, except for the death of a little Teng Zijing.

Just an insignificant character!
"Humph! How dare the small Dongyi City be so arrogant? Chen Pingping, I order you to thoroughly investigate all people related to Dongyi City in the Supervisory Council. If you find any suspicious persons, arrest them immediately!"

Emperor Qing raised his hand and slammed the table, then turned to look at Lin Ruofu who had a grief-stricken face and sighed heavily.

"Prime Minister Lin, I feel sorry for your situation, but the dead cannot be resurrected. I think this matter is definitely related to Northern Qi. Don't worry, I will definitely avenge Lin Gong!"

As he spoke, Emperor Qing summoned Eunuch Hou into the palace and slammed the table hard.

"Immediately announce to the world that Qi has gone too far and dared to assassinate an important official of Qing. This crime is unforgivable. This time I will send 500,000 troops to fight Qi to the death!"

"Old slave obeys!"

Eunuch Hou left quickly, and the huge imperial study fell into silence.

Everyone present knew that Emperor Qing had long wanted to take action against Qi, but he just couldn't find the right opportunity.

This incident did provide a reasonable reason!

"Your Majesty is wise!"

Chen Pingping bowed and saluted.

Lin Ruofu glanced at him indifferently, knelt down reluctantly, and knocked his head heavily on the ground.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" "Minister Lin, there is no need to be so polite. You have contributed a lot to the Qing Kingdom over the years. I have seen it all. Go back and rest early."

Emperor Qing waved his hand and turned to look at Chen Pingping.

"This battle is of great importance. You, the Overwatch Council, must respond with caution. Never let this happen again!"

"Your Majesty, rest assured. If anything unexpected happens during this battle, I will voluntarily resign from the position of President of the Overwatch Council!"

Chen Pingping bowed and let Eunuch Hou push her wheelchair away.

For a moment, Emperor Qing and Li Chengping were the only ones left in the huge imperial study.

"Third brother, do you know who Si Lili is?" Emperor Qing suddenly asked.

"Father, isn't she the most beautiful girl in Zuixianju? Who else could she be?" Li Chengping asked.

Looking at his innocent eyes, Emperor Qing was silent for a moment and suddenly smiled.

"Yes, she is indeed an oiran. Since you like her, I'll follow you. However, the Niulan Street incident has a huge impact."

"For the sake of your reputation, I have decided to let you go out and stay out of the spotlight for a while."

"The army will set out tomorrow. This time I order you to follow them and be responsible for supervising the battle."

Upon hearing this, Li Chengping was stunned, thinking he had heard it wrong.

"Why, you don't want to?" Emperor Qing's face darkened.

The cold voice brought Li Chengping back to his senses. He bowed and said, "I obey your order."

"Okay, if that's the case then go back and prepare. Gather at the city gate tomorrow morning and set out with the army!"

Emperor Qing waved his hand.

As he watched Li Chengping leave, his originally gentle eyes suddenly became extremely sharp.

"Third brother, I didn't expect you to get involved with Si Lili. Was this intentional or unintentional?"

Emperor Qing muttered to himself.

As an emperor, he had many channels of information.

Si Lili had been found long before Chen Pingping entered the palace, and Emperor Qing even ordered people to investigate Si Lili's identity and background.

It didn't matter that he checked, he actually discovered that Si Lili was also a member of the Qing royal family.

Si Lili's grandfather is the granddaughter of Prince Qing. Although she is only an adopted daughter, the whole family treats Si Lili very well.

But later the family encountered political changes and the whole family was killed. Only Si Lili and her younger brother escaped and later settled down in Northern Qi.

After finding out the truth, Emperor Qing's first reaction was that Si Lili came back for revenge.

The political upheaval that took place at that time was actually a struggle for the throne.

With Ye Qingmei's help, his father, King Cheng, ascended the throne, and his two uncles also died in this battle.

Over the years, the Crown Prince and Li Chengze have been fighting for a long time in the court.

Emperor Qing originally intended to train the crown prince, but unfortunately the other party's performance has been mediocre over the years. It was not until the appearance of Li Chengping that Emperor Qing's idea began to waver.

Who would have thought that Si Lili would suddenly hook up with Li Chengping, which made Emperor Qing feel a sense of crisis.

Emperor Qing was very clear about the cultural heritage of Qing Kingdom.

Why could Li Chengping accomplish such great things at such a young age? Was it because he had the support of Northern Qi, or was it really because the third brother was extremely talented?

Many thoughts flashed through Emperor Qing's mind, and his suspicious nature came back again.

It was for this reason that he planned to send Li Chengping to the front line to fight against Northern Qi this time.

Facing an army of 500,000, he wanted to see what Li Chengping would do.
