As the name suggests, it's about the spirit of contract, something Li Chengxian did five years ago, but unexpectedly Lao Deng remembered it completely.
"With the Empress Dowager as our witness, you mustn't go back on your word!"
Li Chengxian was taken aback, but quickly regained his composure and looked at Emperor Qing with a playful expression, smiling:
"Oh, when did our great Emperor Qing of the Southern Qing Dynasty learn to feign weakness, play the victim, and shamelessly swindle money from children?"
be cheated.
From the very beginning, this old man deliberately feigned weakness, using his incompetence to provoke Li Chengxian's anger.
He used a feint to the east while attacking the west, giving Li Chengxian's three armies in the Heavenly Palace the answer, but his real purpose was only one army.
But who was really scheming against whom?
As the world's plot began to unfold, Li Chengxian had been looking for a time to clear away these obstacles in his path.
Otherwise, the entire Qing Kingdom would be in turmoil, which could easily affect his future cultivation. Simply put, he needs more resources!
The day has come to harvest the ripe fruit.
"The four gates of the palace, east, west, south and north, cannot be guarded by you. Tanlang and Wenqu need to protect the interior of Yuntian Palace. I can only give you the seventh position in Yuntian Palace, Yaoguang Pojun."
"Yaoguang it is, you're such a stingy kid."
Those who experienced the riots know that the Po Jun army, led by Yao Guang, was the largest of Li Chengxian's seven armies, numbering a full three thousand.
Except for the Wenqu army, which is a bit special and has a small number of soldiers, the other five armies each have three hundred soldiers.
Although the seven armies have the same resources, the Po Jun army, on average, has soldiers with lower talent than the other six elite palace troops, making it the weakest.
However, the seven armies are of equal strength, and in terms of loyalty, the Po Jun army is no less loyal than the other six armies.
Although Emperor Qing didn't say it aloud, he was secretly relieved. No one knew better than him the loyalty of the Heavenly Palace Guards to Li Chengxian. With this contract, he was not afraid that the Po Jun army would not obey.
Although they ranked seventh, the real reason why the riot five years ago was able to seriously injure Gong Dian was that they risked their lives to avoid injury.
Once the military order is given, the sheer fearlessness of death is even more terrifying than the suicide squads of the Control Yuan.
Emperor Qing had no intention of subjugating such a valuable army; rather, he wanted to use them as a foundation to allow Qin Ye to completely eliminate and cultivate the Qing Kingdom's army.
Even if the results were only one-third of those of the Yuntian Palace Guards, Emperor Qing would be satisfied.
Since Li Chengxian tacitly agreed to lend troops, he also tacitly agreed that Emperor Qing would research armor and weapons specifically for the Yuntian Palace army.
Whether or not it can be built depends on ourselves.
Similarly, Li Chengxian did not believe that the armor and weapons purchased from the Longevity Immortal Treasury could be so easily counterfeited.
"You're getting a good deal and still acting innocent. But even brothers have to be clear about accounts. I don't want much, just send over all the top-tier martial arts techniques and skills you've collected."
Trying to get something for free from me?
no way!
Li Chengxian remembered that Emperor Qing treated everyone like a thief.
Over the years, he has practically worn out all the books and records in the martial arts pavilion of the Daqing Imperial Palace.
The only problem was that he couldn't find any martial arts manuals of grade eight or higher, which greatly affected the grade of his own martial arts skills.
"Brothers? Clear accounts? I'm your father! You really dare to ask for such an exorbitant amount!"
Emperor Qing replied coldly, but then, as if remembering something, he revealed a strange, playful smile, took the bright yellow imperial edict stamped by Li Chengxian, and turned to leave.
He had achieved his goal and didn't want to stay there a moment longer, afraid of getting angry to death. It was too difficult to get anything out of this brat.
Only after leaving the palace gates did Emperor Qing sigh softly, with a hint of melancholy.
"Apart from the cultivation techniques and martial arts I practice myself, the rest will be sent to Yuntian Palace immediately. Also, stay away from Li Yunrui recently, I don't know what crazy thing she's doing again."
Emperor Qing hesitated for a moment. Anyone who practices martial arts knows that high-level martial arts techniques are the inheritances of various forces.
The emperors of the Daqing Dynasty spent a great deal of effort to collect these items.
Even if not everyone can cultivate it, possessing it can easily gather a formidable force of martial artists.
Only the emperor could control it, but Li Chengxian wanted it all.
If Emperor Qing hadn't truly believed that he wasn't interested in the throne, he would never have agreed.
Li Chengxian knew that Emperor Qing had his own plans for keeping the domineering true qi technique, so he didn't force him, but he would find a way to get his hands on it sooner or later.
"You're smart to know what's good for you."
call……
Emperor Qing let out a breath, then gave Hong Siyang a cold look.
"You can report what happened at Yuntian Palace today to the Empress Dowager, but you are not allowed to divulge a single word of it to the outside world. Also, you will personally deliver those books to me later."
Hong Siyang knew the seriousness of the problem, and replied solemnly with his head down:
"This old servant obeys. Not even a single word of the classics will be leaked."
Then, as if remembering something, Emperor Qing glanced at the Greedy Wolf Army patrolling within the Cloud Heaven Palace and suddenly laughed:
"Let's go. This kid has been unwilling to budge all this time, but now that he's suddenly agreed, he must be planning something."
But it's a good thing overall; at least he's finally willing to move around. Staying in Yuntian Palace all day, with that kind of personality, I'm afraid he'll go insane.
"Then Your Majesty, aren't you afraid that the Crown Prince will turn the sky upside down again?"
Emperor Qing raised his hand and tapped Hong Si on the back, laughing and scolding:
"Look at you, you haven't even made a move yet, and you're already giving me warnings. Anyone who doesn't know the situation would think you're a loyal servant reminding me."
"Even I, his father, am not as fiercely protective of my master as you, a mere servant. Let me tell you, I am not afraid of what trouble he might cause. He has the right to do so. No matter how big the matter is, do you think I, the Emperor of Daqing, cannot cover it up?"
Chapter Four: A Woman's Obsession! [Please Add to Favorites]
Upon hearing this, Hong Siyang's eyes secretly lit up with joy, and he said in a flattering tone:
"This old servant is being nosy. His Majesty has gone to great lengths for these princes. If the eldest prince knew of your good intentions, he would certainly take good care of you in the future."
"You have such a charming mouth. Let's go, don't keep the little brat inside waiting."
"Immortality, immortality! If a person of immortality could truly emerge from the bloodline of my Great Qing royal family, what need would I have to worry about unifying the world and maintaining the dynasty for ten thousand generations?"
Emperor Qing, exuding an air of domineering power, quickly left Yuntian Palace with his personal eunuch, Eunuch Hou, who was waiting outside the palace.
But his mouth is like a crow's mouth.
He had barely settled into the reclining chair when Tianquan bowed and entered, speaking softly:
"Your Highness, Princess Li Yunrui has come to request an audience with a prince."
Li Chengxian frowned, a hint of speechlessness in his eyes, before exclaiming, "What a disaster!"
Why did the Longevity System rate this woman as an unparalleled beauty? She was separated from Da Pu, and it took him a lot of effort to win her over.
I didn't see Lin Ruofu, the current prime minister and head of the civil officials, who was still wearing the green official hat that Emperor Qing had jokingly bestowed upon him.
Every time he passes by Yuntian Palace, he looks dejected. Nobody would believe he doesn't know anything.
"Let her in."
"As ordered!"
Li Chengxian began flipping through the book again. With his current level of cultivation, he could basically master any cultivation method or martial arts technique once he finished reading it.
A moment later, I suddenly caught a whiff of a delicate fragrance, like that of orchids, refreshing yet subtly delightful.
Looking up, she saw Li Yunrui standing quietly in front of her, holding a wooden box and looking at her.
The infatuation in her eyes made the prince beside her secretly glint with jealousy.
With a snap, Li Chengxian closed the book and slowly stood up. Li Yunrui casually took his right arm and pulled him to the dining table, smiling:
"Chengxian, I made your favorite steamed pork with rice flour, using glutinous rice from Jiangnan and flower pigs from Nanhu."
As he spoke, Li Yunrui personally wiped Li Chengxian's hands, laid out the food, and as if they were very familiar with each other, picked up a piece and fed it to him.
It's fortunate there were no outsiders here, otherwise Emperor Qing's desk would be piled high with memorials impeaching Li Yunrui tomorrow.
however.
Li Chengxian made no attempt to hide anything and ate it.
Even though the ingredients for a simple steamed pork dish might be a rare treat for ordinary people, it's probably a common home-cooked dish on the tables of the powerful and wealthy.
In his previous life, Li Chengze had tasted all sorts of delicacies, so why did he have such a particular fondness for this?
Perhaps only Hong Siyang knows that the first food Li Chengxian ate to her heart's content after being reborn in the Daqing Imperial Palace was this steamed pork with rice flour.
That's why I have a fondness for it.
Glancing at the prince beside him, who seemed startled by their actions, Li Chengxian smiled faintly:
"How come you have time to come to the palace today? You've been here for two years, and this is the first time you've come here on your own initiative."
There were many things that Li Chengxian didn't tell Li Yunrui.
……
Even now, Li Yunrui only believes that Li Chengxian is a prince who failed to usurp the throne, yet strangely, he is still alive and able to influence Emperor Qing and hold a large army.
For someone of royal blood like her, it's a miracle she's still alive after such a major event.
The contents of that riot were silenced by Emperor Qing, and even much about Li Chengxian was erased.
The outside world only knows that Emperor Qing's eldest son is Li Chengmin, the current commander-in-chief guarding the northern border.
Emperor Qing now only has four sons.
Because Li Chengxian had been practicing seclusion since childhood and kept a low profile, coupled with his background, it was easy for his abilities to be concealed.
Only those who followed Emperor Qing to the throne knew that Li Chengxian's birth mother was the princess whom Emperor Qing had decided to appoint before he became emperor!
The current empress was only married by Emperor Qing in order to seize the throne.
As if by coincidence, Li Chengxian's birth mother died in childbirth before she could be officially appointed.
To save face for the current empress, Emperor Qing devised a plan to gradually hide Li Chengxian away.
However, there will always be people who have their eyes on him. Unfortunately, he was protected by Hong Siyang, an old eunuch with immense power in the palace, and thus grew up safely.
Li Chengxian inquired about the reason and learned that her birth mother had done Hong Siyang a great favor and also had some connection with the Empress Dowager of Nanqing.
