Joy of Life: I am a Han Dynasty succubus, and I rebel from the beginning

Chapter 191: The alliance is deadlocked, Fan Xian is assassinated, and Emperor Qing is furious

For Ye Chong, their family roots are all in Kyoto.

Having served the King of Qing for generations, it would be more painful than killing Ye Chong if they could no longer return to Kyoto.

Liu Hong's eyes showed a hint of doubt.

I don’t understand why Ye Zhong is so obsessed with Kyoto.

This place of right and wrong has basically no benefits except for power struggles and assassinations.

"It's up to you! Ye Ling'er is the imperial concubine after all, I won't take action against her, but I won't spare any of the generals involved in the Hanging Temple case."

Liu Hong shook his head, agreeing with Ye Zhong's words.

After all, the Ye family has deep roots in the capital, so it would be great if they were willing to cooperate.

Ye Dian nodded and said nothing more.

He was a second-rank official, with countless disciples and generals under him.

In the Jiangnan area, many generals were trained by him.

Even if Liu Hong wanted to overthrow him and paid some price, he would suffer some loss in power.

Li Chengru frowned. He was an upright and indifferent person.

Seeing this kind of exchange of interests, I naturally feel repulsed.

Liu Hong urgently transferred Huang Xuan to the position of deputy commander of the garrison division and temporarily commanded the garrison division.

Under the vigilant watch of the city defense forces, this transfer of power came to a brief end.

Even though these loyal generals of Ye Zhong were extremely unwilling, it was of no avail.

If they did not resist, perhaps under the investigation of the Censorate and the Eastern Depot, they could retain their official positions and be exiled to the frontier for future use.

But if they resisted, it would be enough for Liu Hong and others to accuse them of rebellion and directly wipe out the three clans.

With the garrison division and the imperial guards in their hands, Liu Hong and Li Chengru breathed a sigh of relief almost at the same time.

No matter how the situation changes, they finally have a chance to fight.

"Pity!"

Liu Hong's eyes were dim, as if he was expressing regret.

It would be great if Emperor Qing was not the Grand Master. It would be enough for Liu Hong to fall out with the people of the world and use the emperor to control the princes.

Li Chengru was still somewhat dissatisfied with Liu Hong's treatment of Ye Chong and others, and couldn't help but say something.

"Liu Hong, that's enough! No matter what, there is a great master standing behind the Ye family. If Ye Liuyun wants to kill you, it's just a matter of waving his hand."

This sentence was undoubtedly a warning to Liu Hong.

Even Emperor Qing was unwilling to offend the grandmaster who was above the dynasty.

Liu Hong just smiled and said nothing.

Ye Liuyun is indeed a grandmaster, the most talented of the four people in the world, but also the weakest grandmaster.

He only received the five-bamboo stick education and did not obtain Ye Qingmei's skills in the temple.

Whether in terms of the concentration of true qi or destructive power, he is inferior to other grand masters.

Of course, Liu Hong is definitely not Ye Liuyun's opponent.

But by now, Liu Hong is already the Governor of Kyoto.

Would Ku He, who had paid such a huge price, be willing to let Liu Hong die so easily?
Liu Hong, Li Chengru and Eunuch Hou rushed to the sky above the Hanging Temple without stopping.

After walking dozens of miles back and forth, Eunuch Hou was almost exhausted.

However, Eunuch Hou did not dare to complain at all. He gritted his teeth and persevered, trying to regain the trust in Emperor Qing's heart.

At the top of the Hanging Temple, all the bloodstains from the corpses had been cleaned up.

Hong Zhu served beside Emperor Qing, with his head lowered and his eyes submissive. It seemed that he was the one who did all these things.

"Liu Hong, is the matter done?"

Emperor Qing was unusually gentle as he looked at the imposing young general in front of him.

He is also the first Governor of Kyoto in Qing Kingdom in a hundred years.

Liu Hong used his loyalty and ability to prove to Emperor Qing that he was qualified for a higher position.

"Your Majesty, now the Imperial Guard and the Garrison Division are in his hands. Please return to the capital immediately and take charge of the situation again."

Liu Hong spoke respectfully.

Emperor Qing smiled faintly. This time, not only did he not die, but he also did not expose his strength as a grandmaster.

Those guys in Kyoto with ulterior motives are probably getting restless right now!
Seeing Liu Hong hesitated to speak, Emperor Qing waved his hand and spoke straightforwardly.

"Liu Hong, if you have anything to say, just say it here! Anyone who can be here is not an outsider."

After hearing this, Liu Hong's heart sank. It seemed that the resistance in cleaning up the opposition forces in Kyoto this time would be a bit too great.

Chen Pingping, Fan Jian, and several other relatives.

Liu Hong could not touch the Ministry of Revenue, the Supervisory Council, and the power of clan relatives.

Emperor Qing was determined to protect them.

"Your Majesty! The thieves were able to place people among the imperial guards. This was not only a matter of negligence by the Censorate and the East Palace, but I'm afraid that some of the officials in the court were also implicated in this matter."

Chen Pingping looked at Liu Hong coldly, his eyes showing undisguised contempt.

He had been planning this for so long, even without telling Liu Hong.

Liu Hong should also understand that if Emperor Qing’s identity as Grand Master is not exposed.

Then Emperor Qing would be invulnerable, and he could even use this as a trump card to ambush several grand masters.

After all, Liu Hong was born into a common family and only cared about the small profits.

Lose the watermelon to pick up sesame seeds!
Yes, this is what Chen Pingping had in mind.

It also means the end of the honeymoon period between the Supervisory Council and Liu Hong, which means both parties now want Emperor Qing to die and they have a certain tacit understanding.

Otherwise, I'm afraid I'd be beaten to a pulp by now.

Chen Pingping looked at Liu Hong and smiled coldly.

Liu Hong planned this incident and eventually exposed his true colors.

There are doubts about both Eunuch Hou and Hong Zhu, and at least one of them is Liu Hong's trump card.

Emperor Qing may not realize it now, but with his intelligent character, he will definitely come to his senses after returning to the palace.

Liu Hong glanced at Chen Pingping and curled his lips.

What you think is what you think! He is not a puppet, so why should he do things according to Chen Pingping's requirements?

When Emperor Qing heard that Liu Hong was still determined to cleanse Kyoto, he fell into deep thought.

There must be something going on in this regard in order to extract the hidden men in Dongyi City and Northern Qi.

But I'm afraid Liu Hong wants to vigorously support his own forces to get to the top.

Today, Liu Hong is the governor of Kyoto, is on good terms with the eldest prince Li Chengru, and controls the city defense forces and the garrison division.

He can also interfere in the political affairs of Kyoto Prefecture. His power has reached a peak, enough to restrain and counter the Qin family.

If she cleans up Kyoto again, her power will probably be no less than that of the future Fan Xian, the current eldest princess.

For a moment, Emperor Qing was a little undecided.

Seeing Emperor Qing hesitate, Fan Jian spoke quickly.

"Your Majesty! Now that the assassination at the Hanging Temple has just ended, we should focus on appeasing the officials. If another bloodbath breaks out, I'm afraid the entire court will be unstable."

These clan ministers all followed the lead of Fan Jian, the foster brother of Emperor Qing.

Seeing Fan Jian's obstruction, they all made up their minds to stand on Fan Jian's side and tried to dissuade Emperor Qing.

Emperor Qing seemed to be considering the overall situation. He sighed as if he had no choice but to do so and was about to say something.

The guards from the east quickly rushed to the roof to report.

"Your Majesty! First-class Baron, Lieutenant General of the Ministry of Rites, Envoy of the Internal Treasury, and Supervisor of the Supervisory Council, Lord Fan was assassinated near the Hanging Temple."

"When our East Factory men rushed over, Master Fan was already breathing more heavily than he was breathing out. I'm afraid his life is in danger."

Emperor Qing stood up suddenly, his eyes full of anger.

He thought he had the assassination in the Hanging Temple under control, but ended up losing two of his descendants in one day.

This was undoubtedly a hard slap in the face for Emperor Qing.

The conceited emperor almost flew into a rage.

"Liu Hong, investigate it for me. Investigate it thoroughly! No matter how many people are involved, arrest them all and put them in jail."

Such furious words made Fan Jian lower his head silently in horror.

The clan ministers didn't even dare to fart.

Emperor Qing hasn't lost his composure like this in many years. He originally thought that after Ye Qingmei's death, he would be in control of everything.

I didn't expect to feel such a deep sense of powerlessness again today.
