We have fought to the Arctic Circle, and you want me to inherit the throne?
Chapter 348: Entering the Palace to Meet the Emperor (3rd update! Please give me praise and reward!)
Ren Kuan, who was outside the carriage, shook his head, then remembered that Li Che couldn't see, and said:
"I don't know, but His Majesty has ordered a thorough investigation of those involved. I'm sure the real culprit will be found soon."
Li Che was speechless. Thoroughly investigate the relevant people?
Who is the relevant person? Tell me who the fuck is the relevant person?
The only one who surfaced was Zhao Xi, who was smashed into KFC mashed potatoes by A Qiang with a stick.
I'm not just complaining...the Jinyiwei are really weak. Not only can they not fight, but their intelligence capabilities are also frighteningly weak.
If it were the Ming Dynasty's Jinyiwei, they would have arrested those who should be arrested and tried those who should be tried by now, and they might even have started preparing to confiscate their homes.
"Old Ren, I'm not criticizing you," Li Che said, "but aren't you Jinyiwei a little too strong on the inside but too weak on the inside?"
Ren Kuan was somewhat helpless and said, "Your Highness, you don't know that the Jinyiwei may seem like the emperor's personal army, with unlimited glory, but in reality, they have many problems."
"The Jinyiwei claim to recruit from good families, but in reality, all the officials in the capital are eyeing these positions."
"Illegitimate sons and illegitimate children who cannot inherit the family business, who are neither good at literature nor martial arts, and who have no hope of taking the imperial examination and joining the army, will be sent to the Jinyiwei."
"Tell me, how much combat power can these pampered young masters exert?"
Li Che suddenly realized.
The Jinyiwei became a hotbed for backdoor dealings, with officials sending their children in to gild their reputations.
Those who really want to get things done are a minority, so such a team naturally lacks cohesion.
Li Che asked again: "How can your Majesty's safety be guaranteed? Are you going to let these good-for-nothings protect my father?"
Ren Kuan replied, "It's no longer the Imperial Guards who are responsible for protecting His Majesty, but the Imperial Guards."
After all, Emperor Qing came from a military background, and as an emperor, he still trusted the army more.
Li Che heard this and said nothing more.
He leaned back in the carriage and closed his eyes, but his mind was lost in thought.
Daqing's Jinyiwei was obviously not up to the standard, which shows that no one realized at that time how important an excellent intelligence and spy organization was.
Should I put the plan of establishing an intelligence organization on the agenda?
At least if I encounter something like today again, I won’t be at a loss and completely passive.
After a moment of wandering thoughts, the carriage slowly stopped.
Ren Kuan's voice came from outside the car: "Your Highness, we have arrived at the Imperial City."
Li Che opened his eyes: "I understand."
He slowly got off the carriage, the wounds on his body still aching slightly.
Several eunuchs carried a sedan chair and invited Li Che to get on.
Li Che did not refuse. Although his injuries were not so serious that he could not walk, he still had to sell himself miserably.
After all, this is a great opportunity to awaken the few remaining fatherly loves in Emperor Qing.
Several eunuchs carried the sedan chair and walked forward unsteadily.
Hu Qiang, Huo Duanxiao and others also dismounted and followed closely behind.
Li Che looked to the side and saw Li Lin also lying on a sedan chair, grinning at him foolishly from a distance.
This silly fourth brother is different from himself. His injuries are obviously more serious and he really can't walk.
Li Che also found it a little funny. He was carried into the palace like this in the morning, and ended up scoring twice in the evening.
Things are not going well today. I have to find some god to pray to when I get home.
I remember that Xiaotuan is the god of the Khanate of Solon. I wonder if worshiping him will work?
When they arrived at the palace gate, several guards stopped Li Che's carriage and looked at Hu Qiang and others with vigilance.
"Your Majesty, please enter on your own."
Hearing this, Hu Qiang and others stepped forward together.
The guards immediately felt a strong sense of intimidation and quickly placed their hands on the hilts of their swords.
Li Che stretched out his hand to stop the generals and said, "It's okay, I can go in by myself."
"Your Highness, you can't do that," Qiu Bai said hurriedly. "Your Highness just encountered an assassination attempt. You must at least have your own people around to protect you."
Upon hearing this, the guard commander immediately shouted, "How dare you! Is there an assassin in the Daqing Palace?"
Qiu Bai glanced at him coldly without replying.
Not speaking means consent.
What happened just now really scared the generals of Feng State.
Li Che is the backbone of Feng State. If he dies at the hands of an assassin, the huge Feng State will be on the verge of collapse.
Moreover, Li Che had no offspring, so even if these generals were loyal, they had no one to be loyal to.
At this moment, Huang Jin walked out of the palace quickly and said, "Your Majesty has ordered that Prince Yan and Prince Feng are injured and can take two guards with them. No one else is allowed to stop them!"
The guard commander quickly bowed and said, "I obey your order."
Li Che instantly felt several gazes directed at him.
The desire in the eyes of the generals gave him the feeling of going to a meeting to select someone...
"Ahem, I'm not going to a dangerous place, so there's no need to be so nervous."
"Zhengze, Yingbu, the two of you come with me."
Compared to the others, these two had the best martial arts skills, good looks, and no criminal record.
At least bringing him before Emperor Qing wouldn't cause any trouble.
Although Hu Qiang is also a martial arts expert, he is a little too naive.
Li Che was afraid that he would wander into Emperor Qing's harem, so he took out a sack and attacked frantically, packing up his wife to take back...
Huo Duanxiao and Ying Bu immediately bowed in agreement, while the others looked disappointed.
Huo Duanxiao walked to Li Che's side, Ying Bu walked to Li Lin's side, and under the guidance of Huang Jin, they walked towards the Yangxin Palace.
It was already late at night, but the palace was still brightly lit with torches lit everywhere.
There were imperial guards patrolling from time to time, and it was obvious that Emperor Qing was also very concerned about the assassination of Li Che and the other two.
The struggle for power is inevitable, and wherever there are people, there are disputes.
But in the eyes of the emperor, disputes also have limits, and assassinating the prince has far exceeded his bottom line.
Arriving at the Yangxin Palace, Huang Jin nodded to Li Che and the others, then called out softly, "Your Highness, Prince Feng and Prince Yan are here."
"Let them in." Emperor Qing's cold voice came from inside the door.
"Yes."
The eunuchs carried the sedan chair into the hall. The hall was brightly lit and Li Che saw Emperor Qing sitting behind the desk from afar.
In front of him, there were seven or eight people standing together. Judging from their official uniforms, they were all officials of the first or second rank.
On one side of the table, a familiar figure stood there.
The man looked pale, confused and a little uneasy.
Li Che was immediately happy.
Who was it? Wasn't this my dear elder brother, the respected Crown Prince?
