Longevity starts from Yitian

Chapter 235

In the end, the assassination of Cheng Jushu was handled in a low-key manner. The eldest princess Li Yunrui was expelled from Kyoto by Emperor Qing and went to his fief Xinyang.

Qing Kingdom Kyoto, Imperial Palace.

Emperor Qing called Chen Pingping to go fishing together.

Originally, he planned to call Fan Jian together, but he didn't have the face to call Fan Jian here. After all, he was the one who advocated releasing the false news that Lin Wan'er would be betrothed to Fan Sizhe to the Eldest Princess Li Yunrui, Crown Prince Li Chengqian, and Ji Qinglin. Indirectly caused the assassination of Cheng Jushu planned by the eldest princess...

Emperor Qing had spent most of his life with Fan Jian, so he knew his temperament very well.

Fan Jian is a very affectionate and righteous person. He hates that the people he cares about are used as pawns by others, so Emperor Qing decided to wait for a while to dilute the memory of this turmoil, and then asked Fan Jian to accompany him Fishing with Chen Pingping.

Emperor Qing was fishing while eating snacks, and suddenly said: "Recently, Prime Minister Lin came to the palace to look for me again."

Chen Pingping was very puzzled, and asked: "Isn't his second son, Lin Gong, not sentenced to death? Lin Gong was only sent to serve as a frontier soldier, so he got his life back. What else does Prime Minister Lin ask His Majesty for?"

Emperor Qing smiled helplessly, and said, "What do you think he asked me for?"

Chen Pingping thought for a while, but couldn't figure it out, and said: "The old slave is stupid, I really can't figure it out..."

Emperor Qing said: "This old guy... came to tell me about Lin Wan'er's marriage..."

Chen Pingping was quite surprised, and said: "Your Majesty, Lin Xiang has found a good family for his daughter?"

Emperor Qing snorted coldly: "What kind of man... do you think who is the son-in-law Lin Xiang likes?"

Chen Pingping said, "Fan Sizhe? Fan Xian?"

Emperor Qing shook his head, and said, "No, it's Ji Qinglin... Listen, Ji Qinglin was a grown man when Fan Xian was very young? Isn't he at least a middle-aged man now?"

Chen Pingping nodded, and said: "Mr. Ji is indeed at least a middle-aged man, but he seems to have a good face, and now he still looks no different from a young man."

Emperor Qing said: "This is really interesting...It's a bit similar to that Wuzhu... Let him marry that girl Wan'er, it's really...a pear tree crushes a begonia..."

Chen Pingping said: "Is Your Majesty willing to hand over the financial power of the internal treasury to Mr. Ji?"

Emperor Qing shook his head, and said, "The internal treasury is the royal family's cash cow, and it is very important. How could it be handed over to an outsider like Ji Qinglin? Alas, it was originally planned to be handed over to Fan Xian, but his reputation was ruined." Those maids are dirty..."

Chen Pingping said: "Your Majesty, according to my humble opinion, if Mr. Ji is really loyal to Fan Xian, he can consider facilitating his marriage with Lin Wan'er. In this way, if the financial power of the internal treasury is handed over to him, it is equivalent to a disguised form." Handed it over to Fan Xian."

Emperor Qing snorted coldly and said, "He? Loyal to Fan Xian? Chen Pingping, you don't seem to be very accurate. I see that Ji Qinglin has the appearance of 'the eagle watches the wolf'. He doesn't look like a loyal minister at all, but is born rebellious! If one day my health fails and I am about to die, I am afraid that I have to take him away before I can pass on the throne with peace of mind..."

Chen Pingping smiled slightly, and said: "Your Majesty, it just so happens that we are about to play Xiao En's big game of chess, so we might as well let Mr. Ji join this game of chess, and see if he won't leave when Fan Xian is caught in a game of life and death." Don't give up, if he can live and die with Fan Xian, he will be regarded as a reliable person around Fan Xian, just like the relationship between His Majesty, Fan Jian and Lao Nu. At that time, some power will be given to those Ji Qinglin is no different from releasing it to Fan Xian..."

Emperor Qing thought for a while, nodded, and said: "This method is possible..."

……

Soon, Emperor Qing sent troops to the Northern Qi Dynasty on the grounds that the Northern Qi sent Si Lili to lurk in the Qing Kingdom and planned to assassinate Fan Sizhe, the second son of Qing's household servant, Fan Sizhe.

The war between Nanqing and Beiqi broke out.

Nanqing's offensive was extremely fierce, like a broken bamboo, and the Northern Qi retreated steadily.

Among them, Yan Bingyun, who was lurking in Northern Qi, contributed a lot. Yan Bingyun spied out a lot of important military information in Northern Qi, and then secretly sent letters to Qing State one by one, so that Qing State could predict the enemy's opportunities first.

But Emperor Qing and Chen Pingping did not intend to fight this war to the end.

War, after all, is too laborious and costly. Yan Bingyun's advantage alone may not be able to win the Northern Qi Dynasty. Emperor Qing and Chen Pingping actually just want to use this war as the first step in a series of tricks...

Chen Pingping deliberately leaked the news of Yan Bingyun lurking in Northern Qi to Northern Qi... He and Emperor Qing decided to secretly promote the peace talks between Northern Qi and Nanqing, and took the initiative to give Bei Qi the negotiating chip of Yan Bingyun, so that Northern Qi had the right to return to Xiao. En's confidence... In this way, it seems logical for Xiao En to be released from the Prison of the Procuratorate and sent back to Northern Qi, without arousing Xiao En's suspicion...

After that, they tried to make Xiao En mistakenly think that Fan Xian was his grandson, and told Fan Xian the secret that he had buried for most of his life—where is the legendary "temple"...

Soon, with the help of Chen Pingping and Emperor Qing secretly fueling the flames, Northern Qi began to request peace talks with Qing, and sent a mission represented by Zhuang Mohan, a great literary master of Northern Qi.

Emperor Qing naturally agreed to the peace talks, and in order to experience Fan Xian, he let him join the Qing State negotiation team, and Xin Qiwu led him to negotiate with the Northern Qi Mission.

During the negotiation, Zhuang Mohan, as the representative of the Northern Qi Mission, did not attend.

It was the first time for Fan Xian to participate in negotiations with an enemy country. He asked Xin Qiwu beside him what he should pay attention to when negotiating. Xin Qiwu only said four simple words:
"A big country is generous."

Then, this negotiator with rich negotiating experience started a scolding war with the Northern Qi mission, protecting his genealogy, greeting each other's eighteen generations of ancestors, and finally even fought...

In the end, the Northern Qi Mission couldn't take it anymore, and took out Yan Bingyun, the last bargaining chip, saying that they would exchange him for Xiao En and Si Lili to return to Northern Qi.

Emperor Qing and Chen Pingping naturally agreed, and the big chess game they played about Xiao En kicked off...

So far, Nanqing and Beiqi stopped fighting and stopped fighting each other.

In order to entertain the Northern Qi delegation, Emperor Qing held a grand banquet in the palace, accompanied by hundreds of court officials, Chinese and military officials.

Zhuang Mohan, who didn't participate in the negotiation after coming to Qing Kingdom, did participate in this dinner.

Halfway through the dinner, this literary figure suddenly stood up, toasted Ji Qinglin, and said, "I've heard about Qing Guo's 'sword-carrying knight' for a long time. He's old and not talented, but he knows a few vulgar poems. I want to be present." Make a question, discuss poetry with Your Excellency, I wonder if Your Excellency would like to honor it?"

After Ji Qinglin heard it, he felt a little fearful in his heart, copying poems is something he does, but he may not be able to copy poems on the spot...
