Daqing: Reborn Prince, intercepting Si Lili at the beginning

Xie Bian smiled awkwardly.

"Then, Your Highness, what should we do now?"

"Simple!" Li Chengze thought for a moment and said, "When does Auntie plan to take action?"

"Just these two days, the time is up to you!"

"Then let's do it the day after tomorrow!" Li Chengze said softly, "After everything is ready tomorrow, have Hongcheng send invitations to both the Prince Li's Mansion and the Fan Mansion. Tell them I'm inviting them to dinner at Si Lili's flower boat at Zuixianju!"

Xie Bian suddenly understood what Li Chengze meant.

"I understand. I'll go find His Royal Highness the Crown Prince right away!"

.......

On that day, on the streets of Kyoto City, a servant pulled a large box into Kyoto City!

From then on, the Niulan Street incident began!

.......

The next day.

Fan Xian's mind was full of his chicken leg girl, and he was so intent on making medicine for her that he had forgotten the reminders and warnings Li Chengyuan had given him!

Li Hongcheng personally came to invite him, and Fan Xian agreed without hesitation.

.....

Prince Li's Mansion.

"Second brother invited me to dinner, and the location is still at Si Lili's flower boat?"

Li Chengyuan looked at Li Hongcheng with a slightly indifferent expression.

Li Hongcheng noticed that Li Chengyuan's expression was a little off, but he didn't say anything. He just said, "Yes, the Second Prince said that he wanted to ease the relationship between you and Fan Xian. The Second Prince thought there might be a misunderstanding between you two, and you shouldn't make a big fuss about it!"

"Well, second brother is really painstaking!" Li Chengyuan smiled and said, "Okay, I will definitely go tomorrow if I have time!"

"Okay! Then I won't disturb Your Highness!" Li Hongcheng stood up and was about to say goodbye.

However, Li Chengyuan suddenly called out to him.

"Hongcheng!"

"Your Highness has further instructions!"

"Let me ask you something. When you took Fan Xian to Zuixianju that day, why did you send poems to Si Lili's flower boat? Who suggested this?"

Li Hongcheng was stunned and asked in surprise, "How did Your Highness know this?"

"How should I know? Don't worry about it. Just answer my questions!"

"This..." Li Hongcheng thought for a moment and said, "Your Highness, this is what I meant. I just wanted to introduce Fan Xian to the best courtesan in Zuixianju. There's nothing else to it!"

Li Chengyuan shook his head without comment.

He stood up, walked to Li Hongcheng, thought for a moment and said, "Hongcheng, you... forget it. So, go back and tell the second brother a message!"

"Your Highness, please speak!"

"Please ask him if he still remembers what I said to him at the poetry gathering!"

"That's it?"

"That's all! Go ahead!"

"Okay! Then I'll take my leave!"

Li Hongcheng bowed in confusion and turned to leave.

"Your Highness!" After Li Hongcheng left, Hongshu came over and asked curiously, "Your Highness, were you trying to win him over just now?"

Upon hearing this, Li Chengyuan pinched Hongshu's tender face in surprise and said lovingly, "You are the smartest!"

Hongshu pursed his lips and smiled, then asked in confusion: "Since Your Highness wanted to win him over, why did you give up?"

"It's not that I've given up, it's that I don't like it!" Li Chengyuan sighed and explained, "Hongshu, you know, although Yuan Meng is the main person in charge of Xiaoxiang Tower, the man behind Yuan Meng is Li Hongcheng.

In other words, Li Hongcheng knew about all the dirty things Yuan Meng did, and he was even the one who orchestrated them. He is committing a sin!

If he just stood on the wrong side, then for the sake of our cousin, I won't bother with him.

But his behavior has crossed my bottom line.

Different road non-phase plan.

Let him and the second brother go all the way to the end!"

After listening to this, Hongshu looked at Li Chengyuan with admiration in his eyes.

"Your Highness, if only all the royal children were as kind as you!"

Li Chengyuan laughed and said, "Okay, stop praising me! You came here in such a hurry because of something!"

"Yes!" Hongshu nodded and said, "I just got the news that His Majesty's newly appointed governor of Kyoto Prefecture has taken office!"

"Oh? He took office so soon?" Li Chengyuan asked curiously, "Who is the new governor of Kyoto Prefecture?"

"It is said to be Zhou Shuhan, the former Minister of Works!"

"Who?"

Li Chengyuan was stunned!

Zhou Shuhan?

One of his only two retainers who were assistant ministers of the six ministries?

This is not right! 712576З68

Although the Vice Minister of the Six Ministries and the Governor of Kyoto Prefecture are of the same rank.

But a Vice Minister of the Six Ministries was a central official, while the Governor of Kyoto Prefecture was a local official.

There is an essential difference between them.

In terms of status, the governor of Kyoto Prefecture is far inferior to the vice ministers of the six ministries.

So Zhou Shuhan's appointment as the prefect of Kyoto Prefecture was ostensibly a horizontal transfer, but in reality it was a demotion.

Is this guy in trouble again?

probably not!

During the reign of Emperor Qing, party struggles were the most important issue.

Things like corruption can only be considered as excuses for party disputes.

Emperor Qing appointed Zhou Shuhan as the prefect of Kyoto Prefecture, which must be because he trusts him!

After all, the position of Governor of Kyoto Prefecture is very important.

Only Emperor Qing’s confidant can do the job.

Among all the civil and military officials in the court, there are not many officials that Emperor Qing can trust absolutely.

······Requesting flowers····

Zhou Shuhan is one of them.

Zhou Shuhan was born into a commoner family and was promoted all the way to his current position by Emperor Qing.

It can be said that Emperor Qing was absolutely grateful to him for his help.

However, this person's biggest shortcoming is that he is timid and afraid of death.

So Li Chengyuan easily caught him with his criminal evidence.

The reason why he was "demoted" this time was probably because Emperor Qing had no one else to use, so he had to temporarily put his own people in a difficult position.

If that's the case, it would be a good thing for Li Chengyuan.

Although the six ministers are good.

However, the Ministry of Works where Zhou Shuhan previously worked was not of much help to Li Chengyuan.

But the governor of Kyoto Prefecture was different.

The governor of Kyoto Prefecture was in charge of all government affairs in the Gyeonggi region.

If Wansanqian's shop encounters any trouble, Zhou Shuhan can solve it with just one word.

Not only that, more importantly, Kyoto Prefecture is one of the few government offices in Kyoto City that controls military forces.

Although there is no army in Kyoto Prefecture, there are a large number of yamen runners!

Although these people are not good at military warfare, if they are used properly, they can influence the overall situation of the capital.

Of course, Li Chengyuan had no intention of rebelling.

............... 0

He just analyzed it as much as possible.

No matter what, it is definitely a good thing to have the position of Kyoto Prefecture Governor in his own hands!

At least he doesn't have to worry about Yuan Meng's case anymore.

I believe Zhou Shuhan can kill Yuan Meng without his instructions!

.......

After seeing Li Hongcheng off, Li Chengyuan began to prepare for tomorrow's events.

After Niulan Street, things will happen one after another, and he needs to plan carefully.

However, just around noon, the mansion received another letter via carrier pigeon!

"Your Highness, this is Miss Si Lili's carrier pigeon!"

Hongshu came over and handed the secret letter to Li Chengyuan.

Hongshu has always been in charge of intelligence gathering in the mansion.

Li Chengyuan opened the letter and saw only a few short words on it.

"Meet on the flower boat tonight!"
