The Proof of the Heavens Begins with The Legend of the Condor Heroes

Chapter 130 Intrigue and deception
With the blessing of "The Art of Never Forgetting" and "The Mysterious Color and Void Pupil", Fang Hao easily became a rare military map drawing talent in the world.

Two years ago, in order to go out and relax, Fang Hao tried his hand at drawing a "Mountain and River Topographic Map of the Capital of Qing Kingdom".

The precise proportions and detailed content amazed everyone who saw the map.

It was precisely because of his special talent in drawing topographic maps that he was able to leave the capital and travel around.

But within Kyoto, there are less than five people who know that he has such ability.

"Emperor Qing, the Crown Prince, the Princess, Qin Ye, Chen Pingping... who could it be?" Fang Hao's lips curled up slightly.

Among these people, the one most likely to openly attack him is the prince.

In the past two years, Emperor Qing has praised Fang Hao on many public occasions for his "brilliant literary talent and respect for the wise and humble."

In order to keep his position as crown prince, the prince and even the queen behind him are very likely to take risks.

"The Crown Prince appears to be weak on the surface, but he is actually quite incompetent. He shouldn't be so impatient. However, the Queen is different." Fang Hao kept analyzing.

In the original novel, the relatives behind the queen were purged by Fan Jian, Chen Pingping and others because they participated in the siege and killing of Ye Qingmei.

From then on, he even developed paranoia and sometimes did things without considering the consequences.

Secretly, the most likely person is the eldest princess.

The reason is not that he is good at political intrigues, but after all, he has read part of the original work and understands the general plot, which is equivalent to having a God's perspective.

In the Kingdom of Qing, the eldest princess smuggled commercial goods through the inner treasury and had close collusion with the Jinyiwei of Northern Qi.

In addition, the eldest princess has a somewhat crazy personality and it is possible that she would sell her information to Northern Qi.

In the original novel, it was mentioned that this eccentric aunt of the family actually had an inseparable and complicated affection for Emperor Qing, but unfortunately this ill-fated relationship never came to fruition.

This is why he placed this forbidden emotion on the prince, who looked very similar to the young Emperor Qing, and they even had an illicit love affair.

She used the intelligence organization she established in the inner treasury to sow discord between the Crown Prince and the Second Prince, also out of revenge on Emperor Qing.

It has to be said that Princess Li Yunrui is a crazy woman, a crazy woman who holds great power. The things she can do sometimes subvert other people's imagination.

"Although the masters below the ninth rank cannot kill me, they can kill Xie Bian and Fan Wujiu who are beside me, and then put the blame on the prince, so that we can sit on the mountain and watch the fight..."

Finally, it could be Emperor Qing!
The emperor in the original novel, who is deep-thinking and tries to control everything, may not do it himself.

But as long as he turns a blind eye to the actions of the Crown Prince and the Princess, or even adds fuel to the flames, Fang Hao can easily be pushed to the opposite side of the Crown Prince.

This will make Fang Hao do his job as a grindstone and sharpen the prince.

With Fang Hao's current level of cultivation, killing the crown prince, the queen, and the eldest princess are actually not difficult tasks. Looking at the entire Kyoto, no one can stop him except Emperor Qing.

But after all, these people are his blood relatives.

Although in every dynasty, it was common for the nobles to kill each other for the supreme imperial power.

But Fang Hao, as a martial arts grandmaster, has already accomplished the feat of unifying the world once in the world of The Legend of the Condor Heroes, and he actually doesn't care much about that supreme position.

At least he would not kill his parents in order to fight for power.

"Fortunately, Fan Xian is about to go to Beijing."

Emperor Qing is not the only one who sits on the mountain and watches the fight between two tigers, Fang Hao can do it too.

As the son of Ye Qingmei and a time traveler, his sense of right and wrong, behavior and words and deeds are bound to be incompatible with the countless nobles in Kyoto.

In order to investigate the real cause of his mother's death and to take back everything that originally belonged to his mother, Fan Xian will sooner or later become enemies with these people.

Then, there will be a good show to watch!
"It's boring, I might as well go home." Fang Hao was a little bored. Although he didn't like political intrigues, he was not incapable of them.

Thinking of this, he stood still, allowing the flames to burn all his efforts of the past two years.

After Fan Wujiu and Xie Bian came over, although they tried their best to put out the fire, they could only rescue the "Dingzhou Scroll" that Fang Hao had just painted.

The original copy of the Expanded Geography and the map of the mountains and rivers of Qing State were all burned to ashes. When Ye Wan returned to the back office of Yuanshan County, he saw such a pile of broken walls and ruins.

With this boy's wisdom, it is not difficult to figure out that there must be a lot of dirty tricks behind this assassination.

However, as subjects, they cannot interfere in the affairs of the royal family.

"I am late in protecting you, Your Highness, please forgive me." Ye Wan said in a deep voice.

"It's okay, but it's a pity that these topographic maps are destroyed." Fang Hao said indifferently.

If only the map of the mountains and rivers of Qing Kingdom was destroyed, Fang Hao would be able to restore it in a few more years.

However, the only copy of "Xu Di Zhi" which served as the blueprint was destroyed, which made Fang Hao feel like a housewife without rice.

Ye Wan obviously understood this truth, and therefore became increasingly dissatisfied with the nobles in Kyoto who were fighting for power and profit.

Compared with the power struggle, the "Qing Kingdom Mountain and River Map" drawn by Fang Hao is a powerful tool for the country's long-term stability. It is really infuriating that it was destroyed by internal strife.

He didn't know that Fang Hao had the "art of never forgetting". The original version of "Expanded Geography" and the dozens of volumes of "Map of Mountains and Rivers of Qing Kingdom" were actually in Fang Hao's own mind.

However, Fang Hao was too lazy to draw it again.

Due to an assassination attempt, the "Map of Mountains and Rivers of Qing Kingdom" that Fang Hao was originally going to present to Emperor Qing was burned.

For this reason, Fang Hao wrote a letter to Emperor Qing with "great fear and trepidation", saying that he had "failed to protect the emperor" and asked His Majesty to punish him.

In response to this, Emperor Qing gave a quick reply, telling Fang Hao not to worry and to return to Beijing as soon as possible.

At the morning court session that day, Emperor Qing severely reprimanded the Crown Prince in front of all the civil and military officials. This was unprecedented.

Several personal maids disappeared from the Queen's side, and the eldest princess was somehow confined to Guangxin Palace by His Majesty.

For a time, the call for "changing storage" was very popular.

……

Kyoto, Imperial Study
Emperor Qing looked at the dozen or so incomplete maps in his hands and remained silent.

If Fang Hao were here, he would definitely see that this is extremely similar to the "Map of Mountains and Rivers of Qing Kingdom" he drew, except for the details, which are far inferior.

"Is the Supervisory Office only able to recover to this extent?" Emperor Qing asked, looking at the old fellow in the wheelchair.

"Your Majesty, the Second Prince's talent for drawing is truly unmatched." Chen Pingping bowed and replied.

"Where were your people when Chengze was attacked?" Emperor Qing put down the incomplete map in his hand and asked.

The prince is traveling with a mission, so naturally there are experts to support him both openly and secretly.

The people in the open were Ye Wan's Dingzhou Army, and secretly accompanying them were also experts from all over the Supervisory Council.

These incomplete maps in Emperor Qing's hands were also "casually" copied down by these people who were protecting him secretly.

Unfortunately, it is far inferior to Fang Hao's original version.

"They were also stopped by the experts sent by Northern Qi."

Chen Pingping said, "Forgive me for making such a bold statement. This time, the Northern Qi side clearly came prepared. Your Majesty, do you want to conduct a thorough investigation?"

"Forget it!" Emperor Qing hesitated for a moment and said, "As long as Chengze is fine."

This means that Emperor Qing doesn't want to pursue the matter further.

"Yes!" Chen Pingping replied.

The key to the emperor's mindset lies in checks and balances.

Fang Hao's weight at this moment is obviously not enough to allow Emperor Qing to break the current balance maintained in the court.
