Chapter 91: Disasters
East Palace, Study
Li Chengqian placed the letter in his hand over the candle flame and watched it burn to ashes.
"Big brother is big brother, he always does things prudently."
"The eldest prince is like this," Mao Qiwu continued. Li Chengqian glanced at him, his eyes twitching as he asked, "What about you? How's the situation? Do you have any idea?"
"I always feel like there's still something missing." Mao Qiwu said, "After deducing it to the end, my brain still can't find the optimal solution."
"Summarize, summarize, conclude, analyze, and draw conclusions. Even after reaching a conclusion, it's not the end. Only by sublimating it can you break through to that step." Li Chengqian said, "Your path requires a lot of calculations, as well as valuable references."
"But I don't have anyone to refer to."
"There wasn't one before, but there is one now." Li Chengqian smiled. "Go to the Fan Mansion and assassinate Fan Xian, and you'll meet your reference. However, whether you can survive depends on your luck."
"Fan Xian?" Mao Qiwu was slightly startled, then he understood what Li Chengqian meant. "Are you saying that Fan Xian has a similar expert around him?"
"Grand Master." Li Chengqian said.
Mao Qiwu didn't react this time. "Isn't it said that there are only four great masters in the world? Could it be the one in the palace?"
"No, you'll know when you go there. That guy's fighting style is very suitable for you." Li Chengqian said, "But be careful, don't die."
"I understand." Mao Qiwu nodded, neither saying he would go nor not going.
What he didn't know was that when Li Chengqian said this, he felt that Mao Qiwu's luck had undergone a strange change. To put it in figurative terms, his luck now began to be restrained, as if it had turned into a cocoon, incubating unknown changes.
Just like now, his own luck has changed.
Normally, a person's luck is relatively stable, and there will be no major changes unless he encounters a major event that concerns himself. But now, whether it is him or Mao Qiwu, their luck has begun to stir up restlessly.
Looking up towards the palace again, he could vaguely see a layer of invisible aura surging above the palace.
"Is disaster also an opportunity?" Li Chengqian waved his hand without saying anything more. Mao Qiwu quietly left the study.

The fourth year of the Qingli period, early summer
Kyoto was filled with joy and happiness.
This is because in the past month, two major happy events have occurred in Qing Kingdom.
The eldest prince won a great victory in the northwest. He swept through the royal court of Western Hu and captured most of the dignitaries including the Khan of Western Hu. The remaining Western Hu fled into the vast sea. Thus, the Western Hu, which had invaded the northwest border for nearly a hundred years, was destroyed. This was the achievement of destroying a country!
Such a great victory demonstrates the strength of Daqing's military power, and it is worth celebrating in any way.
Then the prince got married.
Moreover, they married into two families at the same time, the Grand Master Ye family and the Ministry of Household’s Fan family.
Once the marriage of the country's heir is arranged, the next generation of heirs will not be far away.
It is a major event and a happy event for a country. This is called continuation of inheritance.
These two events were highlighted in the palace newspapers and spread throughout Qing Kingdom in a very short time. As the center of Qing Kingdom, Kyoto was naturally the first to feel this joy.
However, people's joys and sorrows are different.
Compared to the people who were beaming with joy at the strength of Qing Kingdom, the situation in the court was completely different.
The eldest prince has an army of hundreds of thousands, and wherever his troops go, they can destroy countries and exterminate clans. He has great prestige in the northwest. This prince, who should have been cut out of the succession sequence because of his bloodline, will he have other inappropriate thoughts after possessing such a powerful force?
Whether it exists or not, all officials in the court must have it!
And the prince.
"Your Majesty is obviously helping the Crown Prince to secure his position!"
Second Prince's Mansion, Study
Gu Qing said with a serious expression, "In the battle of the northwest, the eldest prince destroyed the country and achieved the feat of destroying the country. Such military achievements, even if they were placed on ordinary ministers, would be considered as overshadowing the master, let alone a prince like him."
"Your Majesty now has four sons. The Third Prince is too young to be discussed for now. You and the Crown Prince have been staying in the capital. In recent years, your influence has grown, while the Crown Prince has almost withdrawn from the court due to the Salt Law Bureau incident. Although there is Guo Baokun from the Provincial Court, the role of the Provincial Court is clear: it can only serve as a knife, not an umbrella. Therefore, the Crown Prince's influence in the court is relatively weak. Your Majesty obviously does not want to see this situation."
"So, let him marry into both families at the same time."
"That's right. The Ye and Fan families, one civil and one military, no matter what the two families are like, as long as they marry, at least in name, they will be on the Crown Prince's side." Gu Qing said, "The most important thing is that in the court, His Highness and the Crown Prince are in a standoff, while outside the court, the eldest prince is watching covetously. It seems that the situation is on the verge of breaking out, but in fact it is the most stable situation."
"Brother wouldn't have that idea." The second prince shook his head.
"It doesn't depend on him, but on what others think. What's more, the eldest prince has hundreds of thousands of soldiers. If there are one or two ambitious people under his command, there is a possibility that he will be held hostage." Gu Qing said.
The second prince did not say anything else, but judging from his expression, he obviously did not agree with this statement.
"Anyway, the Crown Prince's marriage to these two families has greatly increased his influence in the court. I hope it won't have any impact on us."
"Aside from those two families, no one else will be affected?" Gu Qing laughed. "After all these years, haven't you figured it out? Besides the few people around him, who else has been able to get close to him, and who has he ever used? The Crown Prince appears approachable on the surface, but deep down he looks down on everyone and is extremely overbearing. His greatest failure was allowing Guo Baokun to establish the Daoist Court."
"The Daoshensi looks powerful and is a sharp sword, but it is also a double-edged sword. This sword will not bring him allies, but only enemies."
"When water is too clear, there are no fish. The greater the reputation of the Daoshensi, and the more he does, the more the court will alienate him."
"Whether the crown prince will be a good emperor upon his succession is beyond question, but given his personality, he will definitely be a dictator, a dictator who treats the officials in the court as tools."
"Daqing is your majesty's Daqing, and it is also everyone's Daqing. The emperor doesn't really have the final say. Otherwise, why would we study so hard for ten, even dozens of years? Just to become a dictator's tool in the court?"
"Even the current emperor, who defeated the Northern Wei and initiated the grand event, did not make all decisions on his own. He would compromise when necessary and consider the interests of everyone when necessary. But the crown prince would not do that."
"The more powerful the Crown Prince becomes in the court, the more people will recognize his true colors and join your army. This is your advantage."
"Your Majesty is now in the prime of life. You have plenty of time. When the court and even the officials of the various states and counties begin to agree that you are the best choice, even Your Majesty will compromise."
