We have fought to the Arctic Circle, and you want me to inherit the throne?

Li Che stood up hurriedly and began to search around under the puzzled gazes of the women.

"Sir, what are you looking for? I'll help you find it."

Li Che waved his hand impatiently: "Hurry, hurry, is there any place here where I can hide?"

The sisters had seen a lot of things, and when they saw Li Che like this, they thought he had a shrew at home and she came to visit him, and they couldn't help but show contempt on their faces.

Li Che didn't care about that. Seeing that there was nowhere to hide in the house, he opened the window and looked down.

Well...it's just the third floor. You won't die if you jump down. At most you'll limp your leg.

The sisters beside him were horrified and rushed forward:

"Sir, you can't do that!"

"Sir, you're just drinking wine, not looking for a prostitute. It's not that serious, it's not that serious."

"Someone come quickly! Someone is about to jump off the building!"

Or maybe because of this commotion, someone outside the door heard the noise and immediately pushed the door open.

Li Che looked back, only to see Li Lin standing aside with an embarrassed look on his face, followed by a group of burly middle-aged and old-aged men in fancy clothes, all looking at him with burning eyes.

Among them...there was no sign of Emperor Qing.

The old man in the middle was surprised when he saw Li Che, and then he smiled mischievously:

"I thought it was the Fourth Prince... The young master even stopped me from entering. It turned out to be the Sixth Young Master."

Li Che saw the old man's face clearly, and when he compared it with the person in his memory, he was suddenly at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

This person's name is Zhu Chun, one of the founding dukes, and the one with the highest status and seniority among the founding nobles.

He was also the father-in-law of the State of Yan and the father-in-law of King Li Lin of Yan.

Just now I heard Li Lin calling "Dad" and thought it was Emperor Qing who came, but it turned out to be another dad.

Of course, Zhu Chun has another identity, that is, the former leader of the Prince of Yan Party and now the backbone of the Prince of Feng Party.

It was a false alarm, it was one of our own, the danger was over.

Li Che retracted his foot that was stretched out of the window, and bowed calmly, "My nephew, I'm honored to meet Uncle Zhu."

His movements were smooth and graceful, without any embarrassment of being caught in an awkward situation.

Zhu Chun is older than Emperor Qing, and he has been following Emperor Qing since the early days of his uprising. He has a deep friendship with Emperor Qing.

How deep is it exactly?

When Emperor Qing was still young, the two of them would often disagree and argue with each other, their tone so intense that they were almost fighting. Even the soldiers guarding the gate didn't dare to listen and turned pale with fear.

But no matter how much they quarreled, the two of them could still fight side by side the next day, with their backs to each other.

Of course, this situation would definitely not happen after Emperor Qing ascended the throne. Zhu Chun was not a person without sense of propriety.

However, the relationship between the two is still special. Among the living founding dukes, Zhu Chun is definitely the one with the highest status and the most trust from Emperor Qing.

Considering this relationship, there is nothing wrong with calling him uncle.

Seeing Li Che's actions, Zhu Chun laughed heartily a few times: "Not bad, he is thick-skinned and more promising than the fourth child. I think this kid can accomplish something!"

After hearing Zhu Chun's words, the group of nobles behind him did not dare to say a word.

Zhu Chunneng could speak to Li Lin and Li Che in the tone of an elder, but they didn't dare.

The princes of Daqing are all powerful men, not to mention that Emperor Qing has been constantly elevating the status of the Li royal family.

If it wasn't a private occasion, this group of people would have given way and bowed when they saw the prince.

Li Che looked around and immediately thought to himself:

These killers look unremarkable, like ignorant upstarts and local tycoons, but the power they actually hold is terrifying.

They are all veterans in the army, the group of people who started from scratch and conquered the empire with Emperor Qing.

In addition to Zhu Chun, there were three dukes and the rest were marquises.

According to the order of Daqing Lords' 'Duke, Marquis, Earl, Viscount and Baron', Marquis is the most common existence in this circle, and the lower Viscounts and Barons are not even qualified to join.

No wonder everyone in the court and the country kept their distance from this group of nobles, and Emperor Qing became increasingly alienated from them.

This group of people has too much power and their reputation in the army is too terrifying. No one would feel safe with them joining together.

And now, this group of people are all Feng Wang's party.

In other words, they are all one of us.

Now that we've met, we have to talk about it.

He drove all the sisters out of the room and ordered the servants to remove the wine and food and set a new table.

Li Che looked at his sister's receding back with some regret, and several of the nobles had similar expressions.

Zhu Chun glared at those people and said, "Don't think about those things. Let's just drink today!"

Although this old guy came here with bad intentions, after all, his son-in-law is here and the future master is also here. He definitely cannot let the little head control the big head anymore.

Everyone then withdrew their gazes awkwardly and sat down in order of their rank.

There were no strangers in the room. Zhu Chun bowed and said in a resounding voice, "Your Highness the Fourth Prince, Your Highness the Sixth Prince, please take your seats."

Li Che quickly waved his hand: "No, you are all my elders, how dare Che take a high position, it is still Uncle Zhu who should take the position."

"Hahaha, then I won't be polite?" Zhu Chun laughed a few times, did not refuse, and sat in the main seat.

Li Lin and Li Che sat down next to him. The two brothers looked at each other, and Li Lin gave Li Che a silent wry smile.

He didn't expect that he would be so unlucky that he would run into his father-in-law just when he went out for a drink.

Although this was not a big deal in ancient times, it would still be somewhat troublesome if his princess knew about it.

A group of dukes and marquises were sitting in the same room, so the steward of Heming Tower naturally did not dare to neglect them.

Various delicious dishes were brought in free of charge, and there was also fine wine from foreign countries, filling the entire table.

The steward and the madam wanted to stay and serve personally, but they were kicked out of the house by two marquises of lower generation.

Afterwards, the two of them acted as servants and personally served the banquet.

Li Che saw that many nobles were sitting quietly and did not dare to speak loudly. He knew that they were unsure of themselves.

After all, the status of meritorious military officers is awkward, and only Prince Yan and Zhu Chun have this relationship, so they will accept them.

Now that Prince Yan has lost his ambition to seize the throne and has turned to support Prince Feng, they have become Prince Feng's party.

No one knew what King Feng's attitude was towards their group, so they were naturally worried.

After Li Che figured it out, he knew that he couldn't stay like this any longer. Now was a good time to win people's hearts.

So he raised his glass, slowly stood up, and said in a gentle tone: "Uncles, may I have a word first?"
