Joy of Life: Grandmaster of the Fan Family

This is another stone that stirs up a thousand ripples.

The civil and military officials of Qing Kingdom had never dreamed that Chen Pingping would come forward to recommend the second prince Li Chengze.

Although Li Chengze and Crown Prince Li Chengqian had been fighting fiercely before.

But not long ago, with Li Chengqian ascending the throne, the second prince disbanded all the forces under his command.

Now, apart from Xie Bian, Fan Wujiu and a few other close confidants, there is no one else under his command.

This means that the second prince no longer has the capital to compete for the throne.

This is only from the perspective of strength. From the perspective of a puppet, the second prince Li Chengze is not a suitable choice either.

Although Li Chengze's subordinates have been disbanded, his personal abilities and influence are still there.

There is really no need for the Fan family to bring up such a person and cause trouble for themselves.

Even if he can't actually cause any harm, he's still a nuisance.

But it was Chen Pingping who nominated him.

Considering the relationship between this inspector general and the Fan family.

Some speculations inevitably arose in everyone's mind.

Did Fan Bin do this on purpose?
The second prince Li Chengze was also shocked.

The throne he had dreamed of before was actually harder to obtain than ascending to heaven...

His father, the emperor, never thought of letting him succeed to the throne from the beginning to the end, he just regarded him as a touchstone.

Use him to sharpen the prince's knife.

Li Chengze looked up at Fan Bin.

This was the first time he was so close to the throne.

Should I agree to it directly?
Li Chengze is not a fool. Of course he knows that the Fan family can't really nominate him to be the emperor?

Although it is unclear what Dean Chen and the Fan family are planning, they seem to be planning to bring out all the princes...

What if Li Chengze agreed at this time?

The second prince Li Chengze's eyes showed great interest. He wanted to see how Fan Bin would turn the tide.
However, just when Li Chengze was about to agree, he noticed the Crown Prince Li Chengqian beside him.

A sneer appeared at the corner of Li Chengqian's mouth.

Although he quickly suppressed this emotion.

But that fleeting expression could not be hidden from Li Chengze.

"What's wrong, my prince? You seem very unconvinced? Are you upset that I am allowed to sit in the seat you've always wanted?"

"How can Erge say that?"

Li Chengqian was stunned. He waved his hands repeatedly and said, "Who doesn't know about Second Brother's talent? I admire him from the bottom of my heart. If Second Brother succeeds to the throne, I will be convinced."

Although Li Chengqian looked sincere, Li Chengze still sensed a hint of danger.

He didn't know Fan Bin, nor did he really know the Dean of the Inspectorate.

But he knew Crown Prince Li Chengqian.

This guy Li Chengqian was obviously gloating over someone else's misfortune.

It seems that whoever sits on the throne at this time will be in bad luck?
Li Chengze's eyes turned and he understood instantly.

The temptation and power of the throne are too great, and it will not change just because of who comes to power.

None of these brothers were willing to be puppets. Even if they themselves were willing, their future descendants would certainly not be willing.

To put it bluntly.

Whoever from the Li family now takes this position will be standing on the opposite side of the Fan family.

What will be the consequences of standing against the Fan family now?
Just look at their father.

Their father's strength surpasses theirs by a thousand times.

The methods of their father are beyond the reach of them, his sons.

But even someone as strong as their father, when facing Fan Bin again, not only was he unable to gain any advantage, but he died in Dadong Mountain.

This is what happens when you become enemies with the Fan family.

The lessons from the past are right before our eyes.

Whoever sits on this chair at this time will end up like their father.

Although the second prince Li Chengze no longer wanted to live.

But we haven’t seen enough of his good show yet.

He hadn't seen what happened to the crown prince and the eldest princess yet. He was obviously unwilling to leave at this time.

"I don't even want to be the crown prince anymore. I won't take on this hot potato!"

Li Chengze also chose to refuse, and his refusal was very straightforward.

This made all the civil and military officials in the court think that they were hallucinating.

You know, just a few months ago, Emperor Qing had not yet passed away.

The same two people almost caused the crown prince and the second prince to fight each other to the point of having their brains blown out. In order to seize the throne, both sides would almost spare no expense.

But now, the two of them seemed to have no interest in the throne.

It felt like it was no longer the supreme throne of the emperor, but a tomb that everyone avoided.

When did the supreme throne of their Qing Kingdom become so unpopular?
Just when everyone was feeling unbelievable, two of the three people who were originally sitting stood up.

Only the military representative Qin Ye was left.

Qin Ye turned his head to look this way, then turned his head to look that way.

No matter how he looked at it, he felt that these two people did it on purpose.

And the scene before them must have been something they had discussed beforehand.

This is equivalent to saying that the two old guys who have always been with him have already got the answers and are answering the questions.

They have either already joined the Fan family or reached an agreement with the Fan family before.

Then they took action.

He was also one of the three ministers with seats in the hall.

If Qin Ye doesn't speak up at this time, the power of their Qin family will inevitably be affected.

How would those families that originally relied on the Qin family think about this issue?
Is the Qin family in trouble?

That's why they dare not speak on such an important occasion.

Don't think that this belief is unimportant.

Once the civil and military officials who defected to the Qin family, such thoughts began to arise in their minds.

There will inevitably be cracks in their relationship with the Qin family.

And this rift will grow bigger and bigger until the two sides break up completely.

Something must be shown, someone must be supported.

"Old minister..."

Qin Ye sat up from his chair, looked at the eldest prince, and then at the third prince.

He thought that if the Fan family were to choose a puppet, it would definitely be the third prince.

No matter from which angle you look at it, choosing the eldest prince to take power is not a good thing for the Fan family.

The first is that there are many opponents.

The eldest prince has Dongyi blood. If he is chosen to inherit the throne, it will be a big deal both within the royal family and in the court of their Qing Kingdom.

They are all difficult to pass.

There was no way anyone could tolerate such a thing happening in front of them.

Even the eldest prince himself should know the truth in his heart. Otherwise, he would not have stayed in the frontier for so many years.

"This old minister recommends the eldest prince!"

Old Qinye thought very clearly.

Since the first two were let off easily, someone should be able to stop this one.

However, just when Qin Ye was thinking this, he was very surprised to find that after he finished talking about this candidate, everyone around him looked at him with mixed anger.

Qin Ye wanted to explain to everyone.

He was just following the crowd and had no real intention of supporting the eldest prince.

But it was destined that no one would listen to him at this time.

Everyone just heard with their own ears that the military representative of Qing Kingdom wanted the eldest prince to inherit the position of Emperor Qing.

Let a person with alien blood lead their entire Qing Kingdom.

What’s the difference between this and being a traitor?
Just when everyone was secretly angry, Fan Bin, who had been very kind, also showed anger on his face.

"How dare you! Qin Ye, do you know who the eldest prince's mother is?" Qin Ye suddenly understood after hearing this.

He was fooled!

The other party was just waiting for him to speak, or perhaps the two people before him were just throwing out some ideas.

Their real purpose is to pull the Qin family out.

Regardless of whether Qin Ye spoke at this time or not, regardless of whether the matter was really as Qin Ye said.

In fact, there is no difference.

They have made up their mind to kill the chicken to scare the monkeys, so they must have picked out the candidates in advance.

How can a new emperor ascend the throne without bloodshed?
How can we have prestige without bloodshed? How can we ensure future stability without bloodshed?

And the target whose blood needed to be shed had obviously been selected in advance.

Apart from Qin Ye, who else could have such an honor?

Only he, Qin Ye, is qualified to be targeted like this.

The remaining two who are qualified have already been in cahoots with the Fan family.

"I, Qin Ye, am a ninth-rank master, and my Qin family..."

Seeing that Fan Bin was about to get angry, he punished himself.

Qin Ye widened his eyes and glared.

He displayed his identity and status, hoping to use it as a threat.

Qin Ye has long been accustomed to this kind of thing.

His Qin family has been able to stand firm for so many years. Even Emperor Qing couldn't do anything to them back then?
There is a very important reason for this, which is that the Qin family is too powerful.

However, when Qin Ye was shouting, Fan Bin did not take any action.

Fan Xian came over with a smile and slapped him.

"Snapped!"

The powerful Qin Ye didn't even have the ability to resist Fan Xian when facing him.

He was blown away directly.

Qin Ye was dissatisfied and wanted to stand up.

However, Fan Xian came up to him immediately and slapped him again.

"Snapped!"

No one in the court dared to speak.

No one dared to step forward to stop it at this time.

Everyone watched helplessly as Qin Ye, the top military figure, was slapped out of the hall with two slaps. As for the Qin family's representative in the military, he was also dealt with.

The power that originally belonged to the Qin family was directly divided into two.

Part of it went to the Ye family, and the other part went to Zhang Dabiao, the commander of the Zhenbei Army.

Zhang Dabiao was originally Fan Bin's deputy in the Zhenbei Army.

Now as Fan Bin's status has risen, Zhang Dabiao's situation has also changed.

He has long been the real power representative of the military, and is protected by ninth-rank strong men.

Almost all the senior officials of Qing State knew that Zhang Dabiao was actually Fan Bin’s spokesperson in the military.

In the eyes of the civil and military officials in the court.

The Qin family, which had been deeply rooted in Daqing for hundreds of years, was wiped out because of just one sentence.

The shock in their hearts could not be described in words.

That's one of the biggest families in Qing State, and that's the representative of Qing State's military...

That's it?
From their perspective, it felt like a dream.

At this time, ministers of relatively ordinary status did not dare to speak at all.

Those ministers who had originally supported the Crown Prince and the Second Prince all shut their mouths.

In their hearts, they are like Ming Jing.

Even the military representative Qin Ye was dragged out, but Fan Bin definitely didn't mind, and he took the other resisters out as well.

Look at the two people who stood up earlier.

Now everyone is calm and sitting in their seats.

There was no change on their faces, as if they had known all this was going to happen.

What does it mean to have power over the government and the country?
In the past, these ministers might have had an idea in their minds.

For example, Lin Ruofu, who was able to command all officials before.

For example, there is Chen Pingping, who can decide life and death with just a word and helps Emperor Qing monitor the world.

In everyone’s previous understanding, these two were representatives of power in the government and the opposition.

But now it seems that these two still have a long way to go before they can truly hold power in the government.

Especially compared with Fan Bin, the power they had before was simply not worth mentioning.

Fan Bin is the one who truly holds sway over the government.

Just now, Qin Ye clamored that he was a ninth-rank master and talked about the status of his Qin family.

Now it seems like a joke.

But in fact, the status of a ninth-grade master is very high.

The Qin family is by no means an ordinary presence in the entire Daqing.

If we were to pick one person among the people in power in Qing State, Qin Ye would definitely be one of the top five.

In other words, if we count five people one by one, we will definitely be able to count Qin Ye from the Qin family.

Under such circumstances, the Qin family still fell.

What’s even more terrifying is that during the Qin family’s downfall, there wasn’t even the slightest setback.

No one in the court, whether civil or military, dared to speak up for the Qin family.

The troops outside the palace did not take any action.

It seemed as if everything that happened in the court was just a formality.

Long before this, Fan Bin had already dealt with the entire Qin family and the forces under the Qin family.

And the entire Qin family knew nothing about it.

Judging from Qin Ye's performance, it was clear that he didn't notice anything at all.

Just thinking of this, all the civil and military officials who were still in the hall felt their backs getting wet.

This is the Fan family today, and the sense of oppression that Fan Bin brings to them today.

After more than a dozen breaths, Fan Xian returned to the hall.

"How about it?"

"The old guy is dead."

Fan Xian said without hesitation.

With Qin Ye's death, all the murderers who directly or indirectly killed his mother were dead.

Fan Xian also avenged Ye Qingmei.

"it is good!"

After Fan Bin nodded, he spoke to the civil and military officials.

"Since the Crown Prince and the Second Prince are unwilling, then the throne should be given to the Third Prince. Who is in favor? Who is against?"

Fan Bin's tone was not harsh.

But no one in the court dared to say a word.

Unless they are mentally ill, who would dare to jump out and oppose at this time?

The third prince, who was forced to the throne, had resistance in his eyes.

"I……"

"Why, Your Majesty, you don't agree?"

Fan Bin turned around, stared at the third prince and asked.

"No, no..."
