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

Chapter 167 After ascending the throne
In the fifth year of the Qingli reign, spring
Qin Ye, the chief envoy of the Privy Council, Qin Heng, the commander of the Kyoto Garrison Division, and a mysterious grandmaster entered the palace on a rainy night and tried to assassinate His Majesty.

He was strangled by Chen Pingping, the president of the Supervisory Council, Ye Zhong, the head of the Ye family, and Grandmaster Ye Liuyun.

This is the "Xingqing Palace Rebellion"!
During this turmoil, the second prince Li Chengze was ordered to carry His Majesty out from the ruins of Xingqing Palace. He was recognized by all the officials in the court and the country, and ascended the throne as emperor.

After Fang Hao ascended the throne, he honored Emperor Qing as the Supreme Emperor and had him cared for in Ganlu Palace deep in the imperial palace, which was actually house arrest.

Although Emperor Qing had no power at that time, he still had to be on guard. In addition to the palace servants sent by Fang Hao to monitor him, there were also spies from the Supervisory Council.

Fang Hao was very relieved, because with the methods of Dean Chen, Emperor Qing would never be able to escape.

In addition, the Empress Dowager was promoted to Grand Empress Dowager, and Concubine Shu was promoted to Empress Dowager. The rest of Emperor Qing's concubines were all rewarded.

Then, Fang Hao generously rewarded his brothers.

The eldest prince was given the title of Prince of Ning, the crown prince was given the title of Prince of Zhong, and although the third prince was young, he was also given the title of Prince of Rong.

Reward all the ministers and grant amnesty to the world!
For a time, except for the forgotten Emperor Qing, the whole Qing Kingdom seemed to be filled with singing and dancing.

However, it is unknown to outsiders how many whirlpools and undercurrents are lurking beneath this calm situation.

Li Yunrui, who was promoted from the eldest princess to the grand eldest princess, traveled to Beijing at full speed.

The situation in Qing Kingdom has changed, and perhaps only Her Royal Highness the Grand Princess is the one who cares most about the life and death of Emperor Qing.

However, Ganlu Palace is heavily guarded and birds can hardly enter. If the eldest princess wants to see Emperor Qing, she must obtain permission from Fang Hao, the former second prince and now the new king of Qing.

So, Li Yunrui came to the imperial study where Fang Hao was now.

This was originally the place where Emperor Qing met with ministers privately.

Now, it has become Fang Hao's temporary resting place. There is no other way. Xingqing Palace has been destroyed and Fang Hao does not want to go to the harem, so he has to make do with this for the time being.

"The Grand Princess is here?" Fang Hao glanced at the memorial in his hand, and then threw it to the ground casually. At that time, the ground was already littered with memorials, and it looked extremely chaotic.

"Should I call you my good nephew or Your Majesty?" Li Yunrui looked at Fang Hao with a complicated expression.

Fang Hao stood up, looked at the other party expressionlessly and said, "Two things. First, you must hand over the management rights of the inner treasury. I will let Li Hongcheng check the accounts. I will forgive the bad accounts before the first year of the Qingli period, but you must pay back the bad accounts after the first year of the Qingli period."

Li Yunrui didn't expect Fang Hao to be so disrespectful, and he also said coldly: "What else? Are you going to drive me back to Jinyang?"

"That's not necessary." Fang Hao looked down at the other party and said, "Guangxin Palace has been cleaned up for you. From now on, you will stay there and cultivate yourself and cultivate your character. That's it."

After saying that, Fang Hao waved his hand, indicating that Li Yunrui could leave.

After hearing this, Li Yunrui could no longer hold back his emotions and said sarcastically, "The inner treasury is managed by me for the royal family. Your Majesty, are you trying to get rid of it?"

Fang Hao responded sharply, "Four times. From the time I was born till now, you have arranged four assassinations on me. Not giving me a foot of white silk is already a sign of my mercy. What else do you want?"

Li Yunrui continued to make trouble because she could not give up the power in her hands.

At this time, Fang Hao said, "Behave yourself! I gave you these three words once before, and now, I will give them to you again."

Hearing the words "behave yourself", Li Yunrui was struck by lightning. Although she herself was safe and sound in the assassination that year, her personal maid was killed on the spot. This was a strong warning.

Afterwards, she killed several palace maids who knew about the incident, so there should not be many people who knew that the assassin had left words on her face.

"It's you!" Li Yunrui said in shock, "It was you who broke into Guangxin Palace that year, and it was also you who forced my brother to abdicate!" She was so smart that she basically guessed the truth by connecting the causes and consequences.

I thought Fang Hao was just a chess piece that could be manipulated at will, but I didn't expect that he was the real mastermind behind the scenes!

"Li Yunrui, you should be thankful that you are my blood aunt, so I will not kill you, but that's all. If you make any unusual moves..."

Fang Hao flicked his finger lightly, and a clearly visible hole suddenly appeared on Li Yunrui's gold and jade hairpin, which was shocking to see.

"Death from illness will be your final outcome." Fang Hao said.

The Qing Kingdom ruled the world with loyalty and filial piety, so the Emperor of Qing could not die. However, Li Yunrui was just an old maid who did not want to get married.

As long as Fang Hao wanted to do it, he only needed to give Her Royal Highness the Grand Princess a look and she would die silently.

Power is a double-edged sword. Without Emperor Qing, Li Yunrui will completely lose the power in his hands.

In other words, she is no longer a chess player. At best, she is just a larger chess piece.

Li Yunrui left in a daze. Without the power given by Emperor Qing, she was no better than an ordinary person and was completely unable to resist Fang Hao.

At the same time, the spies left by the Grand Princess in various places in Kyoto were cleared out one by one by the people of the Overwatch Council like rats in the dark.

……

Fan Xian was summoned by Emperor Fang Hao this morning.

Within a few days, the powerful Emperor Qing abdicated and the idle Second Prince succeeded to the throne.

This was undoubtedly a big deal for the Qing Kingdom, and especially so for Fan Xian, since he was the son of Ye Qingmei and Emperor Qing.

For some reason, after learning that Emperor Qing had abdicated, Fan Xian did not feel any discomfort, but instead felt a little... relieved?
As for the truth about the "Xingqing Palace Rebellion", Fan Xian was not a direct participant.

But because of his identity as the Director of the Supervisory Council, Fan Xian still knew something.

For example, the destruction of Xingqing Palace was caused by the confrontation between grand masters. For another example, the reason why the second prince was able to sit on the throne was because he himself was a... grand master!

"I saw His Majesty today. No matter what he said, don't panic."

Fan Xian couldn't help but think of what Chen Pingping had reminded him of: "Just treat each other with sincerity."

"Treat him with sincerity? He is a great master. I don't know if Uncle Wu Zhu can defeat him." Fan Xian thought.

At this moment, Eunuch Yao said in a shrill voice: "Master Xiao Fan, His Majesty is inside, please come in!"

Fan Xian let out a breath and walked quickly into the imperial study, where he saw Fang Hao writing and drawing on an extremely wide wall.

He bowed earnestly and said, "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you, Fan Xian!"

"This country is so beautiful that it attracts countless heroes to compete for it... Fan Xian, what do you think of this poem paired with my painting?" Fang Hao asked.

After hearing this poem, Fan Xian was struck by lightning. Could it be that... the Second Prince Li Chengze was also a time traveler? !
