Chapter 460 Joy of Life 16
Fei Jie was stunned, wishing he could slap Chen Pingping immediately: "Someone wants to kill Fan Xian, and you still say it's the right time?"
At this moment, Chen Pingping had regained his composure, as if everything was under control: "With Wu Zhu here, Fan Xian will be fine. Moreover, we can take this opportunity to send Teng Zijing and Wang Qinian to Fan Xian's side and have them lead Fan Xian into the Supervisory Council."
Teng Zijing is a man of great loyalty and righteousness; Wang Qinian is quick-witted and agile, with exceptional lightness skills. These two are the helpers that Chen Pingping had already chosen for Fan Xian.
However, Wang Qinian already knew what he was going to do, while Teng Zijing had everything arranged by Chen Pingping without her even realizing it.
Previously, Chen Pingping was still thinking about what opportunity to send the two of them to Fan Xian.
However, with this golden opportunity, he no longer needed to make any special arrangements to send Teng Zijing to Fan Xian's side without anyone noticing.
At the same time, he could also use Teng Zijing to test Fan Xian's character and courage, and whether he could inherit Ye Qingmei's will in the future.
This really is killing two birds with one stone.
"but,"
Chen Pingping changed the subject, a cold smile appearing on his face: "Go and investigate thoroughly. I want to see who dares to use the Censorate to kill the person the Censorate wants to protect."
Seeing Chen Pingping's confidence, Fei Jie realized that his previous reaction had indeed been somewhat excessive.
Yes, with the Five Greats here, who in this world can touch a single hair on Fan Xian's head?
Moreover, even if the five masters are away on business, there are still so many people they have stationed in Danzhou to guard the area. How could Fan Xian possibly be in danger?
Thinking of this, Fei Jie's worries vanished, and he said with a smile, "It must be Li Yunrui, after all, she is one of the people who least wants Fan Xian to enter the capital smoothly."
“Li Yunrui, the Crown Prince, the Second Prince, and so on—these are all possibilities. However, given His Majesty's decree, they can't act openly. Therefore, there must be others involved. Our task now is to find everyone who is detrimental to Fan Xian, and then…”
Chen Pingping didn't finish speaking, but Fei Jie already understood.
Fei Jie gently patted the pocket hanging at his waist, which was completely different from his overall style. It contained the gloves that Fan Xian had given him.
Fei Jie smiled slightly: "Little Fan Xian will definitely be safe and sound."
Chen Pingping lowered his head, looking at his hands, his whole body trembling slightly with excitement.
His plan was finally about to begin.
Over the years, he has eliminated and turned many of Emperor Qing's confidants against him, while also instigating the conflict between the two princes to the greatest extent possible.
Fan Xian's early arrival in the capital, though somewhat hasty and lacking in time for thorough planning, is perhaps for the best.
The sooner the plan is launched, the sooner we can find out the real culprit behind the young lady's death and avenge her.
Chen Pingping adjusted his mindset and quickly arranged everything. At the same time, he ordered Fei Jie to return to Kyoto first to handle matters in all directions.
He, however, would have to wait a little longer.
Over the years, not only did Chen Pingping become suspicious of Emperor Qing, but Emperor Qing also began to suspect Chen Pingping.
In order to dispel Emperor Qing's suspicions to some extent, Chen Pingping always acted very carefully.
This time, his trip back to his hometown to visit his relatives will take three months. If he goes back early, it will inevitably arouse Emperor Qing's suspicion. In any case, he doesn't necessarily have to do what he wants to do in the capital.
……
Fan Xian, far away in Danzhou, was completely unaware of the storm he was about to be caught up in.
Although he was shocked by the news of his sudden arranged marriage, the thought of soon seeing his irresponsible father still filled him with a little anticipation.
Despite having lived two lives and possessing the mindset of an adult, Fan Xian doesn't have much affection for his father in this world.
But he still couldn't help wanting to know what kind of person this body's father was.
Why could someone ignore their own son for over a decade?
Did the other party feel even a little bit guilty about this?
More importantly, Fan Xian wants to find out who killed his mother.
Because Wu Zhu has amnesia, he only remembers that Ye Qingmei was murdered, but he can't remember who the murderer was.
In order to uncover the truth, Fan Xian decided to go to Kyoto in person.
So, after "converting" Teng Zijing, who came to assassinate him, and bidding farewell to Old Madam Fan, who wanted him to stay, Fan Xian took the mysterious box left to him by Ye Qingmei and followed the red-armored knights who came to pick him up to the capital without hesitation.
On the very day Fan Xian entered the capital, Emperor Qing had already calculated the time and specially brought Lin Wan'er to the temple, successfully making the two fall in love at first sight.
Emperor Qing was very satisfied with this result.
He once said that the Imperial Treasury would always be managed by the eldest princess's lineage. This was because he believed that his younger sister would never betray him and could help him manage the Imperial Treasury properly, allowing him to have no worries.
Unexpectedly, this move fostered undue ambition in Li Yunrui. He treated the inner treasury as his private property and used its funds to secretly cultivate his own power.
He even got involved in the struggle for the throne, providing the crown prince with a large amount of financial support, which led to a huge deficit in the imperial treasury.
This is something that Emperor Qing absolutely cannot tolerate.
Emperor Qing's ambition was to unify the world.
However, to unify the world, war is needed, and war requires a lot of money to support it.
The Imperial Treasury, the largest source of revenue for the Qing Kingdom, is now in deficit, which has had a serious impact on the Qing Kingdom's economy.
In this situation, what will he use to fight the war?
So, after much deliberation, Emperor Qing finally set his sights on the professional managers left behind by Ye Qingmei.
As Ye Qingmei's son, once Fan Xian takes over the Imperial Treasury, those professional managers who have devoted themselves to following Ye Qingmei will definitely try their best to help Fan Xian make up for these deficits.
In that way, wouldn't he have money?
At the same time, they can use Fan Xian to kick Li Yunrui out of the game.
If Fan Xian is truly as outstanding as the information from Danzhou suggests, then he could be allowed to succeed the second son as the Crown Prince's whetstone.
If planned properly, he could even kick Lin Ruofu out as well after Li Yunrui is out of the picture, reclaim the power from the prime minister, and then make decisions himself.
As for Chen Pingping's plan, Emperor Qing had already made his own plans.
He only needs to slightly delay the time when Fan Xian takes over the Inner Treasury, and let Fan Xian first get the Temple's plan from Xiao En.
This way, Chen Pingping's needs can be met while also achieving one's own goals.
That's a win-win situation!
Thinking of this, Emperor Qing couldn't help but smile, his heart filled with self-satisfaction.
Really!
He sometimes couldn't help but wonder why he was so smart.
Perhaps, he truly was destined by fate, the one destined to end the chaos and unify the world.
