Chapter 128 Xue Qing's choice, the prince and the princess panic

Back to the residence.

After a busy day, Li Chengping handed the written letter to Zhang Han and asked him to arrange for someone to deliver it to the capital as soon as possible.

As for who sent the letter, the Supervisory Commission is the most suitable person to answer this question.

The Supervisory Council has spies all over the world, so such a big event happening in Jiangnan region naturally could not escape their eyes.

After Zhang Han left with the letter, Li Chengping wanted to rest for a while, but unexpectedly, the Iron Eagle Swordsman rushed in.

"Your Highness, Jiangnan Governor Xue Qing is here."

Li Chengping frowned: "Who did he bring here?"

"Your Highness, he brought no one with him, not even a guard. He was alone."

This answer aroused Li Chengping's curiosity. When he arrived at the front yard, Xue Qing was pacing back and forth with his head down. When he saw Li Chengping coming, he hurriedly trotted forward.

"Your Highness Xue Qing, I pay my respects to His Majesty the Third Prince!"

After saying that, the guy fell to his knees.

"I haven't come to settle accounts with you yet, but you came here on your own. Xue Qing, do you admit your guilt?!"

Li Chengping snorted coldly.

"I know my crime, I deserve death, I shouldn't have colluded with the Ming family!"

"I feel ashamed of your majesty and the trust of the court. I beg your highness to dismiss me from my post!"

Xue Qing knocked his head to the ground and admitted his mistake honestly.

Seeing his upright attitude of admitting his mistake, Li Chengping's icy expression gradually softened.

"Your punishment needs to be decided by His Majesty himself. I have no right to interfere. I will definitely investigate the Ming family. If you know any details, you'd better report them one by one."

"When I return to the capital, I will explain your merits to His Majesty, and I will then reduce your punishment!"

Xue Qing's eyes lit up.

He had worked so hard to swallow his pride just for this sentence. Without any hesitation, he took out a letter from his sleeve and held it over his head.

"Your Highness, these are some things I have compiled about the Ming family. Please take a look."

Li Chengping did not look at it immediately after receiving it. He smiled faintly: "Governor Xue, I already know your good intentions. Don't kneel on the ground all the time. Go back first."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Xue Qing bowed again, stood up and left in a hurry.

After he walked out of the yard, he finally straightened his bent back. He looked back and felt somewhat relieved.

He didn't know if what he was doing was right, but he knew he had no choice.

He knew clearly what he had done.

He had previously thought about joining forces with the Ming family to deal with Li Chengping, but after Old Lady Ming killed Ming Qingda with her own hands, Xue Qing completely changed his mind.

Tiger venom doesn't even eat seeds.

What Old Lady Ming did was witnessed by many people present at the scene, and it would soon spread throughout the entire Jiangnan region.

Once His Majesty learns of this, the Ming family’s status as an imperial merchant will certainly be ruined.

Without the protective barrier of the Imperial Merchants, what awaits the Ming family is only accelerated decline. Even if they rely on the heritage of a century-old family to gain a foothold, they will still be cursed by the people.

To cooperate with the Ming family is tantamount to seeking one's own death.

Facts have proved that he made the right choice. Xue Qing did not dare to hope to keep the position of governor. For him, as long as he could live the rest of his life in peace, that was enough.

……

Capital, imperial city.

Inside Guangxin Palace.

Li Yunrui and Li Chengqian sat at a table, on which was placed the secret letter sent by the Ming family.

"Aunt, the third brother is simply too arrogant. The emperor ordered him to return to the capital, but he secretly took a detour to Jiangnan. This is simply lawless!"

Li Chengqian was furious.

Li Yunrui's face was not looking good either. She had never expected Li Chengping to go to Jiangnan. From Dongyi City to Jiangnan, it was a long distance, and most people would not have the time to do so.

"It seems that the third brother is deliberately targeting us this time!"

Li Yunrui's face was gloomy.

The land of Jiangnan is rich, and there are three major districts there, which can be said to be the purse of the inner treasury.

Once problems arise in the Jiangnan region, the many shortcomings of the inner treasury will be exposed.

"Aunt, what should we do?" Li Chengqian was a little anxious.

If there is a problem with the funds in the inner treasury, how should the group of people behind him deal with it.

The reason he was able to win over so many people was not because of his own abilities, but entirely because of the power driven by money.

"The only solution now is for you to go to His Majesty and explain the situation. He will issue an imperial decree to have the Third Master return to the capital as soon as possible!"

"Only if he leaves Jiangnan can the Ming family's crisis be resolved."

Li Yunrui was thinking.

It was a pity that she forgot a crucial point. This letter was sent two days ago, and the situation in Jiangnan area was no longer as simple as transferring Li Chengping away.

Both Li Yunrui and Li Chengqian handled these matters in private and could only rely on carrier pigeons to convey messages.

Pigeons need to rest and eat during the journey, so time undoubtedly passes much slower.

"Okay, I'll go ask my father to issue an imperial decree!"

Li Chengqian got up without saying a word and hurried to the Yangxin Palace.

Before he could say anything, Eunuch Hou came out with a smile on his face.

"Your Highness, please go back. His Majesty is a little sleepy today and has already gone to bed."

Li Chengqian's mouth twitched.

He saw through the lame excuse at a glance.

In the past, Emperor Qing would not rest even if he was busy until midnight. But today, the sun has not yet set, but he has gone to bed so early.

Unreasonable!
"Please go in and tell me, sir. I really have something urgent to discuss with you!"

The prince bowed and took out a handful of golden beans from his sleeve and stuffed them over.

Eunuch Hou was so frightened that he stepped back as if he had been electrocuted.

"Oh, Your Highness, this is absolutely not allowed. I will go in and inform His Majesty to see if he agrees."

After saying this, he ran into the Hall of Mental Cultivation as if escaping.

It is true that he likes money, but he did not dare to accept money in front of Emperor Qing at the gate of the Palace of Tranquil Longevity, let alone from the Crown Prince.

If he really did this, then his role as the emperor's attendant would be at the end of its rope.

He was dismissed from office in the morning, but died before noon.

Outside the Yangxin Hall.

Seeing that Eunuch Hou was taking a long time to come out, Li Chengqian understood what was going on even if he was a fool.

If it had been in the past, he would have turned around and left, but this time the matter concerned the Jiangnan region and the entire Neiku economy.

He gritted his teeth, took a deep breath, and knelt down in front of the door of the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Kneel from dusk until the hour of Xu.

After kneeling for several hours, the prince's legs became numb from all the kneeling, and he even doubted whether Eunuch Hou had informed Emperor Qing of the news.

Just then, Eunuch Hou walked out again.

Seeing Li Chengqian kneeling at the door, a look of surprise appeared on his face.

"Hey, Your Highness, why are you still here? His Majesty has just woken up, please go in."

Li Chengqian nodded expressionlessly, gritted his teeth, forced himself to stand up, and walked into the palace step by step with his stiff legs.
