From Joy of Life, the Tian Gang is reversed

Chapter 27 You Are Getting Old and Confused
"I wonder what orders His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has?"

Chen Pingping's eyes fell on Li Chengqian, staring at the prince whom he had never been able to see through, as if he wanted to read Li Chengqian's intentions from his face.

"I won't give you any advice. I'm still a child, how could I dare teach an old fox like you!" Li Chengqian grinned and said without hesitation in front of everyone in the hall, "I just want to ask, has my aunt come to see you?"

Chen Pingping's expression was a little strange.

He was naturally unhappy about being called an old fox in person, but what could he do?

Not to mention Li Chengqian's identity, as he just said, he is still just a child. Does he really have to argue with a boy?
That would be so embarrassing.

"This... Her Royal Highness the Princess did indeed approach me, and I agreed, but..."

"But what?"

"But Fei Jie has an important mission now and is not in the capital. I'm afraid we'll have to wait a few more years."

"Wait a few years?" Li Chengqian raised his eyebrows. Of course he knew that Fei Jie was not in the capital now, and he also knew what Fei Jie was doing, but would he care?
Cultivating Fan Xian has nothing to do with him.

His positioning of Fan Xian is actually the same as his father's. He is the material for a lone minister and the candidate to take over Chen Pingping or the eldest princess in the future. Of course, if he is capable enough, it is not impossible for him to hold both positions.

That's it.

In the original novel, Emperor Qing actually did a good enough job. He watched Fan Xian jumping around under the guidance of Chen Pingping, but he had the blessing of the dual identities of grandmaster and emperor. He believed that no matter how much Fan Xian jumped, he could not jump out of his Five Finger Mountain. As a result, he couldn't help but kill Fan Xian by plot.

Li Chengqian is here now. With his identity, status and camp, he will naturally not watch Fan Xian lose control like in the original novel, so the first thing he does is to find the tomb of Emperor Wenzong, blocking Fan Xian's biggest halo in the future, the little Fan Shixian, and making him die in the womb.

Without the blessing of this halo, even if Fan Xian jumps in the future, he won't be able to jump very high. At most, the court of Nanqing will just have one more capable minister who is lucky enough to come in. It is impossible for him to rely on this halo to connect with Qi State and stir up trouble between the two countries as in the original novel.

"Let me think about it, let me think about it." Li Chengqian rubbed his brow pretentiously, pondered for a moment, and then looked up and said, "You said that Director Fei has gone on an important mission and won't be back for the time being?"

"Yes!"

"Dean Chen, you're so bold! You actually let Director Fei do something like this? Does the Emperor know about this? Does the court have any countermeasures?"

"Huh?" Chen Pingping raised his head in confusion.

Not only him, but Emperor Qing, Fan Jian and Lin Ruofu also focused their attention on Li Chengqian.

how?

After just a few words, Li Chengqian knew what Fei Jie was going to do?

Is the Supervisory Commission a sieve?
Fan Jian's eyes flickered, Emperor Qing narrowed his eyes, and Lin Ruofu was confused, but showed an interested expression.

Chen Pingping was unusually confused. "Your Majesty certainly knows about this matter. Could it be that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also knows about it?"

"Of course I know, you..."

Having said this, Li Chengqian glanced at Emperor Qing, then at the few people in the hall. He seemed relieved, but his voice subconsciously became much lower. "You asked Fei Jie to assassinate Si Gu Jian, right?"

? *3
Chen Pingping looked at Li Chengqian and wanted to open his head to see what was inside.
Assassinate Si Gu Jian?
If Fei Jie had this ability, why would he stay in the Supervisory Commission?

"How is that possible? Your Highness is joking."

"Isn't it to assassinate Si Gu Jian? Then is it to assassinate Ku He?"

"Your Highness, please don't joke like that. Fei Jie is unrivaled in the world in using medicine, but compared to a Grandmaster, he's still a long way off. Assassinating a Grandmaster isn't assassination; it's suicide."

"It wasn't about assassinating Si Gu Jian, nor was it about assassinating Ku He?" Li Chengqian touched his chin. Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, he looked at Chen Pingping, then at Emperor Qing, and said with a curled lip, "Father, you're too careless in your actions. If you want to pacify Northern Qi, you should do it with real weapons. Sending Fei Jie to poison an orphan and a widow is just too much of a stretch!"

"What nonsense are you talking about? Who sent Fei Jie to Northern Qi?"

It was obvious that even the Grandmaster Qing couldn't keep up with Li Chengqian's train of thought. He was a little agitated by his words and immediately scolded him, "What are you thinking about all day long? Why do you come here and talk nonsense?"

"Aren't you going to assassinate the orphan and widow of Northern Qi?"

"Of course not!" Chen Pingping smiled. "Your Highness, Fei Jie has another mission. What it is specifically is a secret of the Overwatch Council, so don't ask too many questions. After all, you're still a child."

"You're still a child!"

Chen Pingping emphasized these five words with a hint of smile.

Obviously, Chen Pingping, who usually kept his emotions to himself, was a little annoyed by Li Chengqian's nonsense in the hall. He took this opportunity to severely diss Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian raised his eyebrows and looked at Chen Pingping with a dark expression, "Are you getting senile?"

There was a sense of condescension in his tone, three parts dissatisfaction and seven parts disdain.

Are you getting senile? Are you getting senile?

Confused……

This sentence echoed in the hall for a long time.

Lin Ruofu raised his eyebrows, moved the corners of his mouth twice, and suppressed his smile.

Fan Jian blinked, looked at Li Chengqian in surprise, and then chuckled.

Chen Pingping felt a tightness in his chest and his breathing stagnated. He wanted to jump out of the wheelchair and kill this little bastard.

Looking at Chen Pingping's sudden change of expression, Li Chengqian felt proud.

You old thing, you dare not take me seriously, sneak into the East Palace at night, and even cause a haunting...

You've been having too much of a good time as the dean these past few years, you've become a little cocky!

If I don't give you some strength, do you really think I'm too small to hold a knife?
"Cheng Qian, don't be rude." Emperor Qing immediately scolded him.

In any case, Chen Pingping is an important official in the court, so he still has to maintain his dignity.

"Your Majesty, I'm not being rude. I'm stating the truth." Li Chengqian didn't take the opportunity offered by Emperor Qing to back down. Instead, he stiffened his neck and said, "Your Majesty, the Overwatch Council oversees the entire country and holds immense power. We can't allow such an old fool to wreak havoc. I think you should quickly find someone to replace him."

Chen Pingping's eyes narrowed slightly, and Lin Ruofu and Fan Jian's expressions also froze, looking at Emperor Qing and Li Chengqian with suspicion.

This is……

Will the real intention be revealed?
Could this be a conspiracy between the father and son?

Your Majesty wants to replace Chen Pingping?
Are you two, father and son, playing a double act here?
"Oh no, the shit is on my head?"

Emperor Qing is a grandmaster, his five senses are extremely sharp and his mind is extremely deep. As soon as Li Chengqian said this, the atmosphere in the hall changed immediately. How could he not feel it? How could he not know what these important ministers were thinking secretly!
but……

What the hell does this have to do with me?
He was the Grand Master and the Emperor of Qing. When had he ever suffered such injustice?

"Where is Cheng Qian!!"

Emperor Qing lowered his eyes and spoke in a gloomy tone.

"Although you are the crown prince, Dean Chen is an important official of the imperial court. He is far too important for a crown prince like you to humiliate. If you don't have a reasonable explanation today, you can stop being the crown prince."

The atmosphere in the hall became solemn again.

The faces of several people in the hall froze, not knowing how to respond.

It feels like they are not here to discuss politics today, but to learn how to make faces.

First the dean was changed, then the prince was changed?
Oh my god!
What are we doing here today?

His suspicious eyes turned to Chen Pingping and Emperor Qing. So, are you two old men here to play tricks on us today?
Why is the topic becoming more and more explosive?

This has shaken the foundation of the country!

Can't you just give a heads up and give a hint?
The corner of Chen Pingping's mouth twitched as he felt the strange looks from the two people. How could a cunning man like him not know the meaning of their looks?

This is because people suspect that he is acting with Emperor Qing and wants to use this opportunity to depose the Crown Prince!
This black pot...

It's thrown on his head again?

well! !

He sighed inwardly and was about to speak when he heard Li Chengqian say, "A reasonable explanation? Do you need any reasonable explanation? Isn't this obvious?"

Li Chengqian stood up straight, raised his head, and looked directly into Emperor Qing's eyes. "Okay, then I'll explain why Dean Chen is old and confused."

Li Chengqian shifted his gaze to Chen Pingping's face. "President Chen, although the Supervisory Council is Daqing's Supervisory Council, in reality, it operates independently of the Daqing court. Even its funding doesn't need to go through the Ministry of Revenue; it's allocated directly from the Internal Treasury. Do you know what this means?"

"I am ignorant and stupid, so please enlighten me, Your Highness."

Chen Pingping bowed respectfully, but everyone in the hall could hear the anger in his tone.

It was obvious that this cunning old bastard was a little broken by Li Chengqian.

If Li Chengqian didn't explain the situation today, the feud would have been settled.
