Chapter 111 Go and kill Sun Wukong for me
"Nephew greets the sir! Greetings to aunt!"

The second prince Li Chengze, who looked a little neurotic in the original novel, was now walking into the door respectfully and bowing to the two people sitting at the top.

Nowadays, everyone in Kyoto is keeping a secret about the man who suddenly appeared in the eldest princess's mansion. Most of the people who knew about what happened on the street that day were kept silent. Even the officials in the court, except for the top few, knew nothing about it.

Today's Li Qingyuan is like the Illuminati before the Internet became popular. He is an evil existence that only top bosses know about, and the general public has never heard of him.

It was the first time that Li Chengze met the other person, which made him a little excited.

There is no way. According to gossip, the other party seems to be from the temple and can truly be considered a messenger from heaven!
Since ancient times, all countries have respected temples. In this world, temples are like heaven, and are the most simple beliefs of everyone.

Although Nanqing is not like the Western Hu and Northern Man where the will of God is above all else, even if it is the imperial decree of Emperor Qing, if it goes against the temple, I think most people will still choose the temple.

This is a struggle between theocracy and imperial power, but it is obvious that theocracy is superior to imperial power.

After all, there are gods in this world! So no matter how powerful the secular imperial power is, it is powerless in the face of gods.

Not to mention Emperor Qing, even if it was Zulong, who was known as the eternal emperor, if he encountered the T800 flying an armed helicopter when he unified the six kingdoms, he would probably become a fanatical believer in God!
"How has Chengze been doing lately?"

"Thanks to my aunt, Chengze is doing well!"

"Alright! Stop talking nonsense here, you two. Do you want to be the emperor?"

Li Qingyuan saw the aunt and nephew starting to exchange pleasantries, so he spoke directly.

We are all thousand-year-old foxes, why are we pretending to be such a loremaster?

"This this--"

Li Chengze almost jumped up on the spot. It was true that he had been secretly contacting officials and engaging in smuggling with Li Yunrui to make money and secretly build up troops over the years, all for the purpose of becoming emperor one day, but could such a thing be said so directly and openly?
"If you don't want to be the boss, forget it! Let's find someone else!"

"Yes! Yes! Of course, my nephew is willing!"

Li Chengze immediately knelt down and stopped calling him sir and simply called him uncle.

In fact, Li Chengze said that he was not so enthusiastic about the throne at the beginning. He was smart since he was young, and he knew from reading history books when he was in his teens that any prince involved in the fight for the throne would never have a good end.

So at that time he wanted to become a free and easy prince, traveling around the mountains and rivers, reciting poems and painting every day, how happy it would be.

But unfortunately, what Emperor Qing wanted was for his two sons to compete with each other, so Li Chengze was crowned king at the age of thirteen, established his own government at the age of fourteen, and began to handle government affairs in the Imperial Study at the age of fifteen. The power in his hands was even greater than that of the crown prince.

There is no way. Emperor Qing knows that his style of doing things makes many people dislike him. Although the Empress and the Queen Mother’s maternal family have all been exterminated, they still hold a lot of power in their hands. Once the Crown Prince becomes dominant, he may be forced to abdicate!

So he pushed Li Chengze out in the name of training the prince and let him compete with the prince, so that he could sit firmly on the Diaoyutai.

As for the fact that he didn't need to be so cautious and afraid of death as a grandmaster? He had only achieved the grandmaster status in the last two years. Before that, he was a useless person with all his tendons and veins damaged.

The domineering true qi cultivated by Emperor Qing and Fan Xian upgrades very quickly and has a very strong combat power. It should be a method of accelerating the absorption of free radiation between heaven and earth.

Although the domineering true qi is extremely powerful, its side effects are also quite obvious. That is, the tendons and veins of ordinary people cannot withstand the strong stimulation of true qi. Once it reaches the ninth level, it is easy for their tendons and veins to be destroyed and they become useless.

The reason why Emperor Qing was determined to kill Ye Qingmei was not only because her ideas were not in line with his, but also because the domineering true qi taught by Ye Qingmei turned him into a disabled person was also a very important reason!
However, this domineering true qi is just like the wedding dress magic skill. The first practice is actually to expand the human meridians. Only when the meridians are expanded to a certain degree, then the power of this magic skill can be fully exerted by further practice.

If Li Chengze was forced to step into the quagmire of the fight for the throne step by step in the beginning, then now he has gradually become immersed in this game called the world.

Indeed, he doesn't like being controlled by others, but does he have the capital to resist?
In the original plot, the reason why Li Chengze looked for Fan Xian was because he thought Fan Xian would understand his difficulties after reading Dream of the Red Chamber. He was like the Jia family in Fan Xian's Dream of the Red Chamber, caught between the retired emperor and the emperor. If he continued to be loyal to the retired emperor, he would have to wait for his property to be confiscated and liquidated after the emperor took full power. If he turned to the emperor, he would be regarded as a traitor by the retired emperor and be dealt with immediately. It can only be said that if one dies early or late, both will die!

The same goes for Li Chengze. Even though he has tried every possible means, he knows that he is just a target pushed out by Emperor Qing to prevent the shift of the power center, and he has no say in what he does.

It’s just a pity that Fan Xian is just a copyist and he has no idea what Li Chengze is thinking.

In Fan Xian's opinion, Li Chengze killed his people, so he must kill Li Chengze!
So the relationship between the two broke down, to the extent that even Li Chengze couldn't understand it at all.

If he could write a masterpiece like A Dream of Red Mansions that clearly sees the sufferings of the world, how could he not understand his own painstaking efforts?

"How many experts do you have?"

"Xie Bian in my nephew's hand is about to break through to the ninth rank, and Fan Wujiu is also at the peak of the eighth rank!"

Li Chengze did not hide it and answered quickly.

"What's the use of these! Can you contact Si Gu Jian and ask him to come to Kyoto in person?"

Even though Emperor Qing is a great master, it would be very easy for Li Qingyuan to kill him if he really wanted to. He could just assign a few eighth-grade masters to equip them with Gatling guns, and a ninth-grade archer like Yan Xiaoyi to fire Barrett guns, and then send a group of assassins to delay Emperor Qing's speed a little, then he could kill him easily?
Grass!
It doesn’t seem that easy when you calculate it this way!
How about sending dozens of tanks to bombard Emperor Qing, or driving Apaches to chase him from the sky?
However, there are hundreds of thousands of residents in Kyoto City. Even with Grandmaster Qingdi's cultivation level, if he wanted to escape, he would be impossible to catch.

It has to be said that with the strength of a grandmaster, it would be extremely difficult to capture him even in modern society.

Unless Emperor Qing can be lured directly to some desolate wilderness, preferably a place with few trees, then he can be used as a living target and be surrounded.

"This! My nephew doesn't have this ability!"

Li Chengze felt that his cheap uncle was just joking.

If I could command Si Gu Jian, why would I need to fight for the position of crown prince?
The Grand Master is above the imperial power!
There is no need to say much about Ku He of Northern Qi. Even the emperor and the empress dowager had to rely on Ku He. It can be said that without Ku He, there would be no so-called Northern Qi.

And what about Nanqing?
Even though Emperor Qing is known as a great ruler, Ye Liuyun still only follows orders and not instructions. He claims to be wandering around the world all day long. In fact, it is because he does not want to stay in Kyoto that causes awkwardness between the two of them!
