However, Fan Jian and Chen Pingping remained calm and composed, smiling as they did so.

Chen Pingping even said with a smile:

"This cannot be blamed on Vice Minister Fan."

Such a deep love for one's son is truly rare in this world.

Emperor Qing couldn't help but glare.

"In the middle of that month, I heard that his son Fan Xian was quite talented in literature, so I appointed him as the Vice Minister of the Court of State Ceremonies."

This is clearly a fifth-rank official, someone who has just entered the court and already holds a fifth-rank position.

He actually said he was not knowledgeable enough and declined the offer.

Look at what a vice minister of the Ministry of Revenue could do.

Is it because you think the official position you've been given is too low?

How about I just appoint him as the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review?

Chen Pingping was startled when she heard this.

Minister of the Court of Judicial Review?

That was a perfectly qualified third-rank official, a leap forward in the imperial examinations.

If you dare to do nothing, then sit in this position.

One can only imagine what the imperial harem was like.

Chen Pingping hurriedly said:

"No, no, no. Your Majesty, I do not believe that the position of Vice Minister of the Court of State Ceremonial is too low."

It was too big. Fan Xian, the son of the Vice Minister of Revenue, had some reputation.

However, he lacks experience, so it would be better to assign him to another clerical position.

If someone with great talent could guide him, that would be even better.

After much discussion, Chen Pingping finally turned the conversation to Fan Jian.

Unexpectedly, Emperor Qing raised his hand to stop him.

"I don't want to hear what Fan Jian is saying, and I'm tired of hearing it. I know what you two are up to."

But today I can tell you that I cannot make this decision.

That little rascal is the type who won't act until he sees the benefits.

Out of consideration for your many years of service to the court, I made a trip today.

Only one result was obtained.

Fan Jian was immediately excited upon hearing this.

"May I ask, Your Majesty, what did that person say?"

"I've heard that there are some prices I cannot afford."

But you can afford it, so you can go and negotiate in person.

After speaking, Emperor Qing put down the memorial, picked up his teacup, and began to drink.

Fan Jian and Chen Pingping exchanged a glance, their minds somewhat confused.

Even as the Vice Minister of Revenue, he couldn't fathom Li Chengxian's thoughts at this moment.

but.

At the very least, getting him to agree is already a huge blessing for Fan Jian.

Thinking of this, Fan Jian bowed and shouted to Emperor Qing:

"Thank you for your great favor, Your Majesty. I shall take my leave now."

Emperor Qing waved his hand and blew on the tea leaves in his teacup.

A moment later, when she looked up again, she found that Chen Pingping was not in a hurry to leave.

He immediately looked puzzled.

"Fan Jian has already left, why are you still here?"

"Do you have other matters to discuss with me today?"

Chen Pingping's old face beamed with even more joy.

If Emperor Qing takes the initiative to speak, then I can ask the questions that have been bothering me.

Although it might very well offend the emperor.

"Your Majesty, as the head of the Censorate, I am responsible for overseeing the capital."

However, they discovered that a powerful force had suddenly emerged in the capital recently.

Moreover, he could openly enter and leave the palace. To be honest, this happened on Fan Xian's way back to the capital.

It was precisely because of the intervention of this force that the Black Riders and the Red Armored Iron Cavalry were stopped.

"What are you trying to say?"

Emperor Qing put down his teacup.

His gaze turned quite cold as he stared intently at Chen Pingping.

Although, on ordinary days, I have come into contact with Li Chengxian's influence or people.

Emperor Qing would usually issue a gag order, but the last incident had really blown up too much.

He knew that sooner or later he would be completely exposed, but it didn't matter.

But if someone is around and there's nothing going on, and they want to get to the bottom of things.

That would be a different situation.

Chen Pingping was also startled by Emperor Qing's change.

I was utterly terrified.

"Your Majesty, I believe that such power and lawlessness are the reasons for the frequent accidents."

Outside the capital, a formidable expert emerged, whose strength should not be underestimated.

This poses a great threat to my Southern Qing.

Chen Pingping hurriedly explained, and his sincere concern dispelled Emperor Qing's worries.

He suddenly burst out laughing.

With that smile, Chen Pingping breathed a sigh of relief.

He hadn't expected that mentioning that person would elicit such a strange reaction from Emperor Qing.

"Alright, this can't be kept secret sooner or later."

Since you came with Fan Jian, you must have found out quite a bit.

As for Li Chengxian's identity, you can investigate that yourself.

You don't need to hear it from me, but I want to warn you about something.

That kid is no good; what if we anger him?

Don't come to me with this, because I have no way to solve it either.

"And that expert you mentioned, I have my own plans."

"That prince's name is Li Chengxian?"

Chen Pingping was quite surprised by the name, Chengxian?

If someone were to use the name of an immortal, it wouldn't be a big deal for an ordinary person from the wilderness.

The problem is, that's a prince, and that's a taboo subject for the emperor.

"Yes, you heard me right, and this name was not chosen by me."

He chose it himself; as for why, you can look it up yourself.

After saying that, Emperor Qing waved his hand.

Chen Pingping had no choice but to bow and step back.

Even after being pushed out of the Imperial Study in a wheelchair, he was still in a daze.

now.

Fan Jian, who was waiting outside, took the initiative to push the wheelchair and walk out of the palace.

Only then did he speak and ask:

"How about it?"

Chen Pingping shook his head with a wry smile.

"His Majesty seemed to have said everything, yet he said nothing at all."

Let me look it up myself.

But one thing is certain, just as you said, that prince.

In the Emperor's heart, it held an extremely important position.

I could even sense a deliberate avoidance.

Fan Jian laughed heartily upon hearing this.

"That's right. You weren't there that day, so you don't know how powerful this prince is."

I've had my eye on it ever since.

If we're talking about the Southern Qing Dynasty, who else can withstand our Emperor?

Perhaps not before, but that's not necessarily true now.
