Chapter 1496 Your Highness, do you want the throne?
"Your Highness's strength is beyond doubt, but if faced with an attack from two great masters, can you guarantee that you can escape from the palace unscathed?"

What's written on the banner?
There are only five words on it.

"Ye Liuyun returns to Beijing!"

Li Chengru had expected this. When he was reborn at the age of five, he no longer took the relationship between father and son seriously.

Emperor Qing is colder than a poisonous snake.

She would plot against her son just to gain the power she wants, without even blinking an eye!
"President Chen, please speak directly if you have anything to say. Although I can't possibly defeat two great masters, I don't think they can stop me if I run away!"

As he said this, Li Chengru threw away the fruit core.

Chen Pingping put his hands in his sleeves and did not answer directly. Instead, he leaned back in the wheelchair, slowly closed his eyes, and then said some incomprehensible words.

"Your Highness, time flies by so fast. Eighteen years have passed in the blink of an eye. When we first met, I remember you were only six years old, but you were already more mature than other children of the same age!"

Although Li Chengru couldn't guess what the other party meant, he continued the conversation.

"Yes, Dean Chen back then was not like he is now. Even when he was sitting in a wheelchair, he was always smiling. I could always hear your hearty laughter!"

When Chen Pingping heard this, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and the figure of Ye Qingmei appeared in his mind.

He said with deep emotion: "Your Highness, do you think I am getting old? Not only have I not forgotten the things that happened many years ago, but they have become clearer and clearer!"

"President Chen, please be frank. What exactly do you want me to come here for?" Li Chengru didn't have time to continue chatting with him.

Chen Pingping slowly opened his eyes, his eyes were sharp and a faint smile hung on his face.

"Your Highness, how about we cooperate?"

"How do we cooperate?"

"Unite to deal with His Majesty!"

I didn't expect him to say that. Li Chengru's expression gradually became serious, and the aura of a grandmaster instantly emanated from him.

"you…"

"Your Highness, please rest assured. I can guarantee absolute safety here!" Chen Pingping is absolutely confident because the Inspection Institute controls the world's most advanced weapons.

Li Chengru showed a playful smile: "Why did Dean Chen help me!"

"Besides, aren't you afraid that I will tell on you? Who knows, maybe His Majesty will be so pleased that he will reward me with a few more prefectures."

"Hahaha!" Chen Pingping laughed out loud, almost laughing to the point of tears in the corners of her eyes.

"Your Highness, could you please stop telling me jokes?"

"Now, in his eyes, you are a thorn in his side, a thorn in his flesh, the kind that he wants to get rid of as soon as possible. I'm afraid that even Northern Qi will be ranked behind you!"

"Okay, okay, let's cooperate!" Li Chengru looked at him unhappily.

Not fun at all!
Just a joke, will you die if you cooperate?

But Chen Pingping was right. Li Chengru himself knew very well that among these grand masters, Emperor Qing wanted him dead the most!
After all, no one else would threaten his throne~
"Your Highness, I want to ask you a question. I hope you can answer it truthfully~"

"But it doesn't matter!"

Chen Pingping stared at Li Chengru intently: "Your Highness has always been precocious. Have you noticed something before?"

"That's right!"

"Then why..."

Looking at Chen Pingping who was becoming increasingly agitated, Li Chengru let out a long sigh.

"I know what Dean Chen wants to ask. I have reminded Auntie before, but she must be disappointed with this world and is ready to leave!"

"I want to kill Emperor Qing!"

"What do you need me to do?"

"Hey~" Chen Pingping frowned slightly: "Look at your Highness, it seems that you are not surprised at all!" Li Chengru chuckled and said: "What's so surprising about this!"

"I met Si Gu Jian some time ago. He was extremely respectful of Aunt Ye. I'm sure Dean Chen was also impressed by her personality!"

Taking his hands out of his sleeves and seemingly casually placing them on the armrests of the wheelchair, Chen Pingping actually quietly reached for the button with his right hand. He only needed to simply press down, and the mysterious weapon would instantly burst out.

His eyes were fixed on him: "Okay, then the last question is, Your Highness, why did you agree to this? To be honest, this surprises me. After all, His Majesty is your father!"

"Tsk~" Li Chengru curled his lips, his face full of disgust, as if he didn't see his action.

"Dean Chen, stop testing me with these words. I don't have this father in my heart. Besides, he's about to take action, and I can't just wait here to die."

"Okay!" Chen Pingping breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that the plan was halfway successful, but the hand touching the button still did not move away.

The most critical hurdle has finally been passed, and there shouldn't be any problems next.

He asked neatly, "Your Highness, do you want to be the emperor?"

"What's going on!" Li Chengru was confused.

Some of the other things mentioned can be guessed, for example, the killing of Emperor Qing was already expected. If Chen Pingping had not been unsure of the opponent's strength, he would have probably taken action 18 years ago.

The relationship between master and servant is not as important as a single hair of Ye Qingmei.

But he never expected that this person actually wanted to make him the emperor!

Heaven and earth can testify that he really doesn't have such an idea!
My biggest goal since my rebirth is to live a carefree life with a beautiful wife and concubines.

I wanted to refuse out loud, but for some reason the words changed when they came to my lips.

"Dean Chen, Ye Zhong is the garrison commander of Kyoto. He has everything to do with us!"

Chen Pingping looked at him deeply, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised. Not directly refusing meant that he agreed.

There is no cat that doesn’t steal fish!

"Don't worry, that person has already solved this problem for us. No one will trust his character, so even though Ye Zhong is the garrison commander of Kyoto, in fact, the military power is divided up by the four deputy generals!"

"not enough!"

Li Chengru admitted that he was tempted. Under such a good situation, it was not impossible for him to sit in that position.

He originally didn't want to be the emperor, but after being forced so many times by Emperor Qing, he found that he still had to hold the knife in his own hands.

Chen Pingping was so excited when he thought that he could successfully take revenge and that this hope was now within reach.

"I control the Inspection Institute, and you have tens of thousands of troops behind you. Although Ye Chong is the garrison commander of the capital, two of his lieutenants are my men. By then, we can work together to take down the defense of Kyoto!"

"As long as you can hold off Emperor Qing and Ye Liuyun, everything will be settled!"

"It's still not enough~" Li Chengru shook his head slowly.

Emperor Qing is incompetent as a father, but he is definitely a mature emperor. His thoughts are unfathomable and no one can guess them. Who knows how many of the civil and military officials are his people.

Chen Pingping was silent for about three or four seconds, then raised his head and asked again: "What about Fan Xian?"

"Although Lin Ruofu has resigned and returned home, he probably has many disciples in the court. That old man has long regarded his son-in-law Fan Xian as his own son!"

"With the addition of Minister of Revenue Fan Jian, all problems will be solved!"

Li Chengru still felt unsafe. He had no experience in rebellion, so he didn't dare to get involved unless he was completely sure.

"President Chen, as far as I know, Minister Fan is loyal to Emperor Qing. The two have been friends since childhood. Is he sure he would get involved in something like this?"

"That's not a problem. As long as I tell him the truth about the young lady's death, Fan Jian will definitely join us in killing Emperor Qing!"

Chen Pingping knew this old friend very well, and even knew some unknown stories about his past.
