Chapter 1460 Emperor Qing uses another shady trick!
The scene that followed was simply a Shura scene. However, since Emperor Qing was testing Fan Xian and his two silly brothers, why did he have to drag himself into this as well?
Fan Xian was probably a rookie and did not understand how terrifying the Emperor was. There was not much reverence in his words.

Silly boy, you will suffer in due time!
Li Chengru shook his head secretly in his heart.

At the same time, the groundwork was almost complete, and Emperor Qing began to show his true colors, saying frankly that he wanted Fan Xian to force Sean to go to Northern Qi in exchange for Yan Bingyun.

Fan Xian was naturally unwilling to do so. As a doctor of liberal arts, he did not have much loyalty to the emperor or the country. He just wanted to travel around and spend the rest of his life with his chicken leg girl.

So he planned to refuse: "Your Majesty, I really cannot take on such a great responsibility!"

"Besides, my sister will be getting married to His Majesty soon. It would be bad for me, as her brother, not to be there. Your Majesty, please choose someone wiser!"

"Uh..." Li Chengru, who was just watching the show, raised his head and glared at the bastard fiercely.

Damn it, using yourself as a shield!
"It's okay!" Emperor Qing seemed to have expected him to say that.

He waved his sleeves and said, "You can ask the eldest prince to postpone it for a while!"

"It just so happens that he doesn't have any proper job. He just eats and drinks here all day. So he can be your bodyguard. Then you two can have someone to take care of you along the way!"

When the Second Prince heard that Fan Xian refused to go on the mission, he was relieved, for he was afraid that some of his things would be discovered.

But when he heard what Emperor Qing said next, this good brother actually wanted to go with him, he instantly lowered his head with a fierce look on his face, thinking in his heart that he might as well pay some price and get rid of these two people together!
Li Chengru was speechless. He had long guessed that the old man would make trouble, but he didn't expect that he would ask him to pay for Fan Xian to go to Northern Qi. Isn't this nonsense?
So his brain was working rapidly, trying to think of ways to shirk this matter. The Emperor Qing's tricks were so sophisticated that he was second to none in terms of sophistication. No one in the entire Qing Kingdom dared to claim to be the best!

He just scolded this one and that one, but it turned out to be just a prelude to Emperor Qing's talk. He was warning the Crown Prince and the First Prince to stop holding on to Fan Xian's handle.

Who made the eldest princess, that poisonous rose, not let Fan Xian go before leaving? Never underestimate a woman's vengeful heart. She would rather lose 1000 of her own lives than kill 800 enemies.

On the way to the fiefdom, they were not at peace and directly pushed the blame of betraying Yan Bingyun onto Fan Xian, causing a lot of discussion in the court and the country.

Now the first goal has been achieved. After the warning just now, the two brothers naturally understood and said that they would not target Fan Xian.

As long as these two factions can be stabilized, things will almost be settled. The only people allowed to impeach Fan Xian in the court are mainly the disciples of the Eastern Palace. Li Chengqian wants to vent the anger of the eldest princess.

Li Chengru was just thinking of a countermeasure when he heard Emperor Qing open his mouth again.

"Boss, do you have any objection to postponing the wedding?"

“Uh…” I didn’t know how to answer at this moment. There was a trap in Lao Bideng’s words.

Of course, I can't say I have any objections, but if I say I have no objections, it means I agree to go to Northern Qi, and by then I'm afraid they will directly issue an order.

Seeing that his eldest son didn't say anything, Emperor Qing simply added another name to the list, with a look of deep fatherly love on his face.

"Boss, although you are the eldest prince, you have been unruly these years and have not made any achievements in the court, so now you are only a county duke. Even if I want to be promoted, I have to take into account the gossips of the civil and military officials!"

"So as long as you go to Northern Qi this time, no matter whether you succeed or fail after you come back, you will still be able to get the position of a county king!"

Fan Xian felt that if he had not used his future brother-in-law as a shield, this would probably not have happened, so he simply stood up to help.

He bowed and said, "Your Majesty, if I don't want to go to Northern Qi, would that be considered as disobeying your order?"

"Not really. The most I can do is change your marriage!" Emperor Qing's casual words made Fan Xian break out in a cold sweat.

"W-why?"

"Oh, Fan Xian, I have heard about some things. You and Wan'er are in love, but now the six ministries are suspicious of you. The memorials have been flying to me like snowflakes!"

"So if I don't dispel their suspicions, marrying Wan'er to take charge of the inner treasury at this time will probably cause unrest in the court and the country. By then, the Northern Qi people will take the opportunity to move south, and Daqing will be plunged into war. I have no choice but to do this!"

"Don't worry, there are many ladies from noble families in the capital. I will choose a good one for you when the time comes, and then you can..." Emperor Qing began a long speech, as if he was doing this for your own good.

I won’t force you!

The Crown Prince and the Second Prince also breathed a sigh of relief. They had both been drooling over the inner treasury. They had tried to win over Fan Xian several times before but failed. Now that something unexpected had happened, did they have another chance?
But Fan Xian couldn't bear to listen any longer and there was no way he would give up his chicken leg girl.

"Your Majesty, I am willing to go as an envoy to Northern Qi!"

"Swish!" The Crown Prince and the Second Prince's faces changed drastically, but due to the deterrent power of Emperor Qing, they lowered their heads and dared not say anything nonsense.

Although this family dinner was just a simple meal, it contained profound meaning. One of Emperor Qing's goals was to force Fan Xian to accept the mission of being an envoy to Northern Qi, and now it has been achieved.

You old bastard, you are so calculating.

Emperor Qing pointed at Fan Xian and looked at Li Chengru at the same time: "Boss, this Fan Xian is your brother-in-law!"

"There is no rush for the wedding. Although it is far away from Northern Qi, it won't take too long. It won't be delayed for too long!"

"You can go with him if you have nothing to do. I will never break my promise. As long as you go, I promise that the Prince of Ningyang will be yours. I will make sure that you have a grand wedding!"

Li Chengru felt like something was stuck in his throat. He couldn't agree to this. It was obviously a trap. It was scary just thinking about it!
Fan Xian represents the Neiku and is also the Commissioner of the Inspection Institute. Now that the position of Minister of Revenue has been vacant, Vice Minister Fan Jian is actually the top leader.

As long as he agreed to go to Northern Qi, in the eyes of some people, he would have been considered to have interfered in the fight for the throne. At that time, even if he had no such intention, he would be pushed forward by Emperor Qing.

"Boss, what are you thinking? I won't force you!"

"My son..."

It sounded nice to say, but actually, because he was forced into a corner at this moment, he gritted his teeth and simply reversed the flow of his true Qi, and spat a mouthful of blood directly onto the table.

"puff!"

Fan Xian hurried over to ask, "Your Highness, are you okay?"

The crown prince and the princes did not dare to show weakness.

"Big brother!"

"Someone, call the imperial physician!"

The two men shouted louder and louder, afraid that no one would know that the eldest prince was injured. They wanted to make the whole city know about it.

"What's wrong! What's happening?" Emperor Qing had a blank expression on his face but his tone was somewhat displeased.

Because let alone a grandmaster, even the second prince who was not very good at Kung Fu could see that he was just pretending.

There is no impenetrable wall in this palace. The news of the eldest prince's injury cannot be concealed at all. If he is forced to go to Northern Qi, it would be somewhat unreasonable.

Li Chengru's face turned pale. "Father, something went wrong with my cultivation recently. I have been forcing myself to come to the banquet. I am afraid I can't go to Northern Qi!"

"It's impossible to support a wall with mud!" Emperor Qing said, and left with a flick of his sleeves...

To be continued!
