From Joy of Life, the Tian Gang is reversed

Chapter 161 I Just Want to Fry Fish (Part )

Just after the news that Li Mingchuan was looking for the next Chancellor for the Eastern Palace came out, as expected, Li Chengqian was called to the Linhu Palace again.

I have to say that the efficiency of repairing a place like Linhu Palace is quite high.

In the place where the dragon-carved pillar was smashed into powder by Emperor Qing's slap, another dragon-carved pillar was erected. Even from the outside, it looked no different from the previous one.

"Change the Chancellor, what do you want to do?!" Emperor Qing looked at Li Chengqian walking around the pillar, his face darkening. He said, "The Eastern Palace has always been low-key. Why are they being so high-profile this time? Do they have other motives?"

"Your Majesty is indeed a discerning eye. Not a single thought of mine can be hidden from you."

"Well, I'm an old man now!"

Li Chengqian curled his lips. Damn, after being deceived by the old eunuch, this old man actually became sensitive!
"Father, have you noticed that there are no more memorials impeaching me recently?!"

"Huh?!" Emperor Qing looked at Li Chengqian as if he was an idiot.

"Nonsense, you're a Grandmaster, who would be stupid enough to mess with you?! They're not fools."

"Yes, they won't oppose the Grandmaster. Instead, they will rally around him." Li Chengqian smiled faintly. "Not only have there been no impeachment cases, but even the rumors about me have died down. Instead, there are a lot of people singing my praises. Do you think I'm the one everyone wants?"

"What do you mean?!"

Emperor Qing narrowed his eyes and stared at Li Chengqian.

"I once heard a saying that when you're rich, you're surrounded by good people. Similarly, after I became Grandmaster, those who used to have grudges against me, those who were dissatisfied with me, even those ministers who used to say I was frivolous and unfit to rule the world, are all my friends now." Li Chengqian chuckled self-deprecatingly. "Father, tell me, if one day you displease them, or if they think you're getting in their way, will they stage a coup and force me to wear the imperial robe?"

The atmosphere in Linhu Palace froze. Emperor Qing looked at Li Chengqian and asked, "Has anyone contacted you yet?"

"No, the time is not right yet. We are all still waiting and watching." Li Chengqian said, "The situation is so chaotic now. They have all become my friends. It is difficult for me to judge their respective intentions!"

"What do you want to do by throwing out the position of East Palace Secretary?"

"I want to see who fights the most, who is the most anxious, and who is indifferent and has ulterior motives."

"Then what?!"

"The most urgent ones are those that the emperor can reuse, and those that are indifferent, find an opportunity to get rid of them!"

Li Chengqian sneered, "Those who are impatient are very utilitarian and can be exploited. Those who are indifferent are shrewd and scheming. No one knows what they are planning. They are very dangerous. I am different from you. You value the mixing of different opinions and like to maintain a balance in the court. You use one faction to fight the other. I am different. I don't like to make things so complicated. I just want them to help me with the work and have execution ability. The most enthusiastic and impatient ones show strong execution ability and dare to think and act. Naturally, they should be used."

"Aren't you afraid they have ulterior motives?!"

"Can we prevent something like this? Don't forget, even someone like Chen Pingping has ulterior motives, not to mention the others. They're just a bunch of cattle and horses. Would I worry about them doing something bad? What a joke."

"You are too confident!"

"Father, self-confidence is a virtue." Li Chengqian said, "Confidence among powerful people is even more of a virtue."

"It's up to you. I want to see when you can wear the yellow robe." Emperor Qing smiled slightly.

"When you unify the world and create a great and prosperous era, I will naturally wear the yellow robe and pick a big peach."

"roll!"

————I am the dividing line————

Kyoto, northern suburbs, Erlong Mountain is a small mountain range in the northern suburbs, but it stretches for hundreds of miles and has beautiful scenery.

On the edge of Erlong Mountain, there is a lake called Yincheng Lake.

There is a new grave by the lake.

This is the burial place of Supervisory President Chen Pingping.

The tomb was neither tall nor magnificent, but the area within a radius of three miles had been designated as a forbidden area.

It would be better to say that it is a cemetery rather than a tomb.

There are usually black cavalry guarding it.

no way.

Chen Pingping offended too many people during his lifetime. Now that he is dead, someone might come to dig up his grave. Nanqing can't afford to lose this person.

At dusk, a man appeared in front of the tomb. He had disheveled hair and a shabby appearance. He was holding a wine gourd and drinking slowly in front of the tomb. He drank until the moon was at its highest point in the sky without saying a word.

Finally, the gourd of wine was empty. The man sighed, placed the gourd on the tombstone, and turned around and said, "You've been standing for so long, aren't you tired? Come and sit down."

A chubby figure walked out from the grove on the left and said with a smile, "I'm worried that you'll be too sad, Teacher, and lose your composure. It would be embarrassing if you drugged me."

"I drugged you. You're even better than me now. My medicine can't stop you."

"That's not certain. The only thing I'm unsure of in this world is you." Gui Zitian walked to the grave, glanced at the tombstone, and sighed. "I can't believe the world-renowned Chen Pingping ended up like this, dying at the hands of an unknown person."

"Wuming, now he is very famous."

"You have such a good relationship with the dean, have you ever thought about helping him vent his anger?!"

"What's there to vent about? He killed his entire family first, so it's only natural for him to seek revenge. What's there to vent about?" Fei Jie sighed. "In this world, you kill me, I kill you, and it's a cycle of revenge. If you die, it's just bad luck and incompetence. You can't blame anyone else."

"That's true." Gui Zitian nodded, as if he was speaking from the heart.

"You didn't come here today to chat with me about these boring things, did you?!" Fei Jie glanced at him and said, "Or, do you want to test my worth as a teacher?!"

"Neither." Gui Zitian said, "The prince asked me to come."

"Crown Prince?!" Upon hearing these two words, a rare trace of fear appeared in Fei Jie's eyes.

"The prince wants to know your future plans."

"I have plans, what plans can I have? The Overwatch Council is about to be demolished, so naturally I'll go home and retire." Fei Jie laughed at himself, "I don't know why, but your prince and the Overwatch Council are naturally at odds. He hasn't even been dead for a few days, and he's already tearing it down."

"It's just a reorganization, not a layoff." Gui Zitian said, "The three departments have been merged into the Imperial Treasury. The Imperial Treasury is going to build a large building in Kyoto with the three departments as the main body. His Highness wants me to be the director."

"so what?!"

"I'm not going." Gui Zitian curled his lips and said, "What can I do if I go? It's all bullshit and it will interfere with my research. That's why I recommended you."
