From Joy of Life, the Tian Gang is reversed

Chapter 13 Come to the door
Deep palace, inner palace

Minghu Hall

Emperor Qing was dressed in black casual clothes, sitting in a high-backed chair, tapping his fingers lightly on the low table in front of him.

Chen Pingping sat quietly in the wheelchair, not saying a word.

Fan Jian looked out the window, staring at the mirror-like lake surface, as if he was seeing some unforgettable scenery.

Lin Ruofu, who had just become the prime minister, bowed his body and hid his embarrassed face behind his sleeves.

"Prime Minister Lin." Suddenly, Emperor Qing looked up and looked at Lin Ruofu calmly. "Your son is eighteen this year, right?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, in three months he will be nineteen."

"We should have gotten married a long time ago."

At this time, Lin Ruofu was not as experienced as he would be ten years later. After hearing this, fine beads of cold sweat oozed out of his forehead.

What to say about this matter?

It doesn't matter whether it's big or small.

If Li Chengqian was ten years older, Lin Gong's life would definitely have been lost.

The princes built up their own power and kept it under the table, so they could fight however they wanted.

But if it is placed on the desktop, then——

The fate of the prince is unknown, but someone like Lin Gong who stands out will definitely be the first to die.

"I will immediately send him back to his hometown and arrange a marriage for him so that he can get married as soon as possible."

"Hahaha." Emperor Qing raised his head and laughed. "I think we should just order a few more wives. Cheng Qian is right. Your Lin family is small. If you want to expand, you still need to take in concubines. Oh, and you're not too old. You can try harder. I'll have some beautiful concubines sent to your house later."

"I dare not." Lin Ruofu's face flushed and he looked embarrassed.

"It's settled." Emperor Qing made the final decision, not giving Lin Ruofu a chance to refuse.

Lin Ruofu didn't dare to say more. This topic and this matter ended here.

"Golden Silk Soft Armor, have you heard of this thing?" Emperor Qing cast his gaze on Chen Pingping and Fan Jian. Both of them were responsible for monitoring the world and had many eyes and ears at hand.

Fan Jian shook his head and said honestly, "I have seen it in some vernacular novels before, but I have never heard of anyone having such a thing."

Chen Pingping pondered for a moment and said, "This thing originally appeared in vernacular novels. It seems that the people in the third department also tried to imitate it before, but the process was very complicated and consumed a lot of energy. The effect was not satisfactory. It was not as magical as described in the vernacular novels, so they gave up."

Emperor Qing nodded. He didn't care about the golden soft armor.

He didn't even care about Li Chengqian's purpose in asking Li Yunrui for the gold-thread soft armor.

What he cared about was that Li Chengqian's performance made him increasingly confused.

In recent years, the well-behaved and even timid Li Chengqian has disappeared.

The current prince gave him a slippery and powerless feeling.

"Even if we wanted to cause trouble for him, we couldn't find a reasonable reason."

(Li Chengqian: Nonsense, I'm already lying down, how can you make excuses?)
Such a prince seems to make him worry-free, but in fact he makes him feel very unhappy.

Even if I wanted to knock, I couldn't find a reason to knock.

He is not only an emperor, but also a grandmaster, with a meticulous mind and a strong desire for control.

But now Li Chengqian behaves like a loach, slippery and difficult to grasp, making it difficult to understand his thoughts and control him. This is very uncomfortable.

Fortunately, he has more than one son.

"I heard that Chengze has recently accepted two more tutors?" The background of this world is very similar to that of ancient China, but it is only similar. Because of the existence of martial arts, there are many differences.

The civil and military powers are divided, but the status of warriors is much higher than in ancient China. The control of the literati group over the world is far less strong than imagined, and is even slightly inferior to that of warriors.

Therefore, the training of princes was subtly different from Li Chengqian's impression of ancient China.

Especially in the prince's education, the prince also has a certain say.

For positions like tutors, in addition to those arranged by the emperor, the prince's mother, if she has certain backstage influence, will also arrange for someone close to her family to be in. In addition, if the prince has taken a fancy to someone, he can arrange it directly, and the ministers can also recommend it.

The tutors can come to the prince's side in various ways and accompany him in reading, but if the prince is not satisfied, he can ask them to leave at any time.

Of course, if the prince is too young, there is no choice.

This is also the reason why Li Yunrui wanted to put Lin Gong by Li Chengqian's side. In addition to obtaining the emperor's consent, he also had to find Li Chengqian again.

If Li Chengqian disagreed, even if he convinced Emperor Qing, it would end up being a half-cooked meal.

But he didn't expect that the rice was not undercooked, but Li Chengqian found an excuse and poured it out directly.

The same goes for Li Chengze. In addition to the people arranged by Emperor Qing, his mother's family also arranged a few. As he grew older and his social circle expanded, he also recruited a few people himself.

Chen Pingping looked up at Emperor Qing and said, "Yes, I have accepted two new tutors, one is Xie Bian and the other is Yang Gongchen.

Xie Bian was born into the Xie family of Longzhou, a small family. However, Xie Bian's sister was the most favored concubine of He Cheng, the right assistant minister of the Ministry of Personnel. She entered the capital through his relationship. She had a very high talent in martial arts and was valued by the second prince.

Yang Gongchen is the son of Yang Dazhi, the master of the Fuhu Martial Arts School in the capital. He has shown great talent in martial arts since childhood and is quite famous in Kyoto.

"So, Chengze has good taste?"

"The Second Prince has always been very good at judging people."

"hehe."

Emperor Qing uttered a few ambiguous laughs and was about to say something else when footsteps suddenly sounded at the entrance of the hall. A eunuch came hurriedly and stood outside the hall, whispering something to the eunuch standing outside.

"What happened? Come in and talk." Emperor Qing frowned slightly and asked in a deep voice.

The eunuch hurried over, head bowed, waist bent, and walked to the front of the hall in small steps. He knelt and said, "Your Majesty, the Crown Prince has gone to the Overwatch Council."

"Ok?"

The prince went to the Censorate.

Upon hearing this news, Emperor Qing narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze dim, and no one knew what he was thinking.

Chen Pingping, Fan Jian and Lin Ruofu were all stunned.

What is the Supervisory Commission?
It was an institution independent of the court. The dean was only responsible to Emperor Qing. He was the sharp blade in Emperor Qing's hand, the most important knife handle for Emperor Qing, and could even be said to be Emperor Qing's forbidden twin.

Except for Emperor Qing, all the officials in the court avoided the Censorate like the plague. Why would the Crown Prince go there?

In addition, what does the prince's inspection have to do with this eunuch, and why did this eunuch come to report this matter?

"Your Majesty, the Crown Prince went to the Censorate, saying he wanted to see Dean Chen. Seeing Dean Chen was not there, the Crown Prince stayed in the Censorate, saying he wanted to wait for Dean Chen to return. Zhu Ge, a supervisor of the Censorate, did not dare to neglect him and sent someone to report. Since I happened to be on duty today, I asked him to wait outside the palace."

This eunuch was also an old man in the palace, and he understood the rules more thoroughly than ordinary court officials, so he explained the cause and effect of the matter in just a few words.

"Chen Pingping, why did Cheng Qian come to see you?"

"I don't know." Chen Pingping said calmly, "I don't normally interact with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and I don't know why the Crown Prince went to the Overwatch Council to see me."

"Then go back and take a look."

"Sir, obey the order."
