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

Chapter 24, Emperor Qing summoned, lost, made a wrong move

Fan Ruoruo's attitude was completely different from before, and she was more enthusiastic.

He also invited Liu Hong to visit Fan Mansion Garden.

Liu Hong readily agreed to this.

However, the two knew very well that although they appeared to be helping Fan Ruoruo, they were actually helping Fan Xian and Fan Sizhe.

After all, Fan Ruoruo didn't have a Barrett in her hand. In the eyes of everyone, how could a weak woman with no power at all cause any big waves?

A man and a woman were strolling in the garden, looking at the colorful flowers, which was quite romantic.

The servants around were whispering to each other, and it seemed that they were full of gossip.

Within three days, this matter will spread throughout Kyoto.

This is exactly the effect that Fan Jian, Fan Ruoruo, and Liu Hong want.

About half an hour later, Fan Ruoruo smiled gently and took the initiative to escort Liu Hong out of the house.

Liu Hong nodded slightly and agreed happily.

After the door of Fan's house was opened, He Zongwei, who had hurried over upon hearing the news, clenched his fists and looked at Liu Hong with eyes full of resentment.

Liu Hong also noticed He Zongwei's gaze, but didn't take it seriously.

He also waved his fist and tapped his head a few times.

He Zongwei shuddered with fear, thinking of the night before the poetry gathering at Prince Jing's Mansion.

He was beaten violently by Liu Hong while covered with a sack.

Reporting to the Kyoto Prefecture is such a small matter. Even though He Zongwei has some fame, he is not a high-ranking official.

A group of officials hemmed and hawed to evade the issue, which really made He Zongwei lose his temper.

"I didn't expect that Lord Liu had some grudges with the Kyoto talent He Zongwei."

There was a hint of smile in Fan Ruoruo's eyes.

Her brother Fan Xian also had some conflicts with He Zongwei, so he was naturally happy to see that Liu Hong and He Zongwei were not getting along.

"The Kyoto talent... hehe, he's just an opportunistic, unscrupulous villain."

Liu Hong has a very low opinion of He Zongwei.

This caused Fan Ruoruo to stare in surprise, but she saw that Liu Hong did not seem to want to explain.

She didn't ask either, that's what smart women do.

If Liu Hong really wanted to explain, he would say it.

After the visit to the Fan Mansion, they did not expect the effect to be so significant.

The Ministry of War voluntarily returned 400 gold coins. Of course, the remaining 500 gold coins would never be returned, as you gentlemen had already eaten them.

The lowest rank, Viscount, which was originally exchanged for a promotion, was also changed to First-class Viscount.

This can be regarded as the Ministry of War's goodwill towards Liu Hong, but also as a warning.

That's it! I know that you, Liu Hong, have a backer, so I'll give you some compensation and let this matter rest.

Liu Hong accepted the remaining four hundred gold coins without hesitation and sneered at the Qing court.

The court was corrupt, the emperor was ambitious, and natural disasters occurred frequently in various places.

The territory expanded rapidly, the army also expanded accordingly, and there were also insignificant post stations and newspapers across the country, which put enormous financial pressure.

It can be said that if it were not for the inner treasury left by Ye Qingmei, the small industrial revolution would not have emerged in Jiangnan.

Otherwise, the ten Qing kingdoms would not be a match for the Northern Wei Empire.

Just like that... everyone in the court still felt good about themselves and wanted to unify the world.

The question is, even if we unify the world, can we keep it?

Returning to the compound where he lived, the middle-aged man in silver armor and white robe stood there quietly, motionless.

Liu Hong's boiling rebellious blood froze in an instant.

Gong Dian, the deputy commander of the Imperial Guards? Why is he here?

Could it be that he discovered my evil ambitions and wanted to kill me?

No! If that was the case, it would be the Supervisory Council that was dispatched, and there would be no need for Gong Dian, who was comparable to a second-rank official, to personally take action.

When Gong Dian saw Liu Hong returning, he clasped his fists and spoke in a cold tone.

"Deputy Commander Liu, His Majesty has summoned you!"

Gong Dian looked serious and methodical, and there was nothing wrong with him.

This guy has burned all his beloved paintings in recent months, so it's normal that he's in a bad mood.

Liu Hong forced a smile.

"Commander Gong, can you please allow me to bathe and dust myself off before going to see His Majesty? This is not reasonable."

Gong Dian's eyebrows were almost twisted together.
He didn't expect that Liu Hong, a fellow soldier, would be so slow. He snorted coldly, quite impatiently, and with some threats.

"That's not the case, Deputy Commander Liu. When he's with Miss Ruoruo, the talented lady from the Fan family, she's already smelling fragrant."

Liu Hong's heart was shocked.

He didn't expect that the emperor was even monitoring his own brother, and there must be quite a few people doing so.

Otherwise, the news would not have spread so quickly, even Gong Dian who was guarding here would know about it.

"In that case, please lead the way, Commander."

Liu Hong deliberately gave a wry smile, looked helpless, and saluted with his fists clasped.

Gong Dian's expression eased a little at this time.

This is decent!
In the imperial study of the palace, Emperor Qing felt extremely unhappy when he saw the news about Liu Hong's whereabouts.

Do you really think that Liu Hong was promoted so quickly because of the second prince's credit?
If the Second Prince could make an ordinary person become the deputy commander of 6,000 troops in just one month, he would be the Crown Prince now.

All of this was instigated and secretly approved by Emperor Qing.

As a result, this kid Liu Hong went to Fan’s house to set up a dock. What does he want to do?

One day, Fan Xian will take control of the inner treasury. The Supervisory Council is already a powerful official, and Liu Hong, who holds military power, will stand behind Fan Xian.

It is hard to say who the emperor of Qing Kingdom is.

Although neither the Fan family nor Liu Hong thought of this,
But Emperor Qing felt that he needed to give them a warning.

Fan Xian is the knife that sharpens the crown prince and the second prince.

Liu Hong was the shield protecting the Crown Prince and the Second Prince, so that they would not be chopped off by Fan Xian's knife.

If Fan Xian didn't do it, Emperor Qing would make Fan Xian a rich man and live a stable life.

If Liu Hong can't do it, then die!

Emperor Qing gently picked up the arrow on the table. The arrowhead was smooth and white, with a three-sided blood groove.

If this kind of arrow hits a person, it will at least take away a large piece of flesh and blood. If it hits a vital point, the person's life is basically over.

"Vice Commander Liu Hong is here to see you!"

Accompanied by the sharp voice of Eunuch Hou.

Liu Hong took a deep breath and walked closer to the armor.

With a swish, he knelt down neatly.

Fan Xian, who has such a strong backing, knelt down, so how could Liu Hong, a little Karami, not kneel down?

Emperor Qing looked at the young man with a heroic face with great interest.

If I have to use a word to describe it, it would be hero, knight!

I didn't expect that this young man also understands the officialdom. He takes care of a lot for the Ministry of War every month and takes care of all aspects.

The atmosphere in the imperial study became depressing.

Liu Hong's mind raced, wondering why Emperor Qing even wanted to do that to him.

"Your Majesty, I am guilty!"

After a few kowtows, Liu Hong kowtowed several times.

Since you have already knelt, you should be more sincere. A reluctant attitude will only anger the emperor.

This time it was Emperor Qing's turn to be surprised, and he even stopped sharpening the arrow with his hand.

If Liu Hong guessed why he summoned him.

Then this young man is really useless! Too smart is easy to die.

You have to guess everything, and the mystery of the emperor is gone.

"Say!"

A distant voice came, and no joy, anger, sorrow or happiness could be heard.

"I was eager to make achievements, so I deliberately exaggerated the number of Hu bandits. This is a capital crime. Please punish me, Your Majesty."

After saying that, Liu Hong laid his head on the ground. Only the sound of his heart pounding could be heard.

He probably guessed what Emperor Qing wanted to ask him to do, but he couldn't say it!

Once he said this, Liu Hong's life was basically over.

Emperor Qing could not deny it and nodded.

Is this a big deal? Every general would do this, and everyone knows it.

"anything else……"

It was obvious that Emperor Qing was not satisfied with Liu Hong's briefing this time.
