Chapter 129 Do you want me to give the throne to you?

Emperor Qing yawned, looking like he had just woken up, and glanced at Li Chengqian.

"Why do you want to see me so much? What's the matter?"

This question stumped Li Chengqian. He was so focused on seeking an audience with Emperor Qing that he forgot what to say when they met.

After hesitating for a long time, he came up with a lame excuse.

"Reporting to the Emperor, I haven't seen my third brother for many days and I miss him very much. May I ask when he will come back so that I can go out of the city to greet him?"

At the end of the conversation, Li Chengqian himself was too embarrassed to raise his head.

Not only Emperor Qing, but even he himself did not believe this reason.

How could Emperor Qing not understand Li Chengqian's meaning? However, he did not point it out and just continued talking.

"Well, your idea is good. The third brother is doing some work in Jiangnan now. He will probably be back in two days."

When Li Chengqian heard this, he deliberately looked shocked.

"Why is my third brother in Jiangnan? Father, Dongyi City is very far away from Jiangnan, why would my third brother go there?!"

"I heard that there are many pirates in Jiangnan area. What should we do if something happens to our third brother?"

"I suggest that you return to Beijing as soon as possible, so that you can be sure of your safety!"

Emperor Qing pretended to be thoughtful and nodded.

"Well, what you said does make some sense. Go back first. I will have someone notify the third brother to come back later."

If it were in the past, Li Chengqian would definitely kowtow and praise his father for his wisdom, but today he remained silent.

Seeing that Li Chengqian was reluctant to leave, Emperor Qing frowned and asked, "Anything else?"

Li Chengqian gritted his teeth and knelt down.

"Reporting to the Emperor, I am really worried about the safety of my third brother. If the Emperor issues an imperial decree, I am willing to go to Jiangnan in person to deliver it to my third brother!"

Emperor Qing's face was as gloomy as water. He stared at Li Chengqian and sneered.

"Oh! You are so capable. Who are you to dare to ask me for an imperial decree? Do you want me to give up my seat to you now?!"

The terrifying imperial power erupted from Emperor Qing and attacked Li Chengqian like an overwhelming force.

The powerful pressure made it almost impossible for him to breathe.

At this moment, he was like a lone boat in the endless waves, which could be overturned by the huge waves at any time.

"Father, please calm down. This is not what I meant. I am just concerned about my third brother."

Li Chengqian endured the pressure and uttered a few words through his teeth.

If it were in the past, he would never dare to speak to Emperor Qing like this.

However, the situation in Jiangnan region is urgent. Once something happens to the Ming family, all his subsequent troubles will come!
"Humph! The third brother is already an adult. He will solve any troubles he encounters by himself. If he really encounters danger in the Jiangnan area, it is his own fault."

"You don't need to worry about this. As the crown prince, you should think more about what you should do!"

"Eunuch Hou, send the prince back to the palace!"

Emperor Qing had a cold face and waved his sleeves.

"Father..."

Li Chengqian wanted to say something but was interrupted by Eunuch Hou.

"Your Highness, it's getting late. You should go back and rest early."

"Someone, escort His Royal Highness the Crown Prince back to the palace!"

Eunuch Hou gave a light shout.

The guard on duty outside the store immediately came in, saluted Li Chengqian, and without caring whether the other party agreed or not, he simply raised his arm and dragged him away.

For these guards, they naturally knew that Li Chengqian was the crown prince and it was best not to offend him, but they could not disobey Emperor Qing's orders.

If they really have to make a choice, their first choice would be to listen to Emperor Qing.

Li Chengqian was taken away, and the Yangxin Palace instantly became quiet.

Emperor Qing returned to his desk and sat down, flipping out the secret letter sent by the Supervisory Council a few days ago. It was about Li Chengping's suppression of the Jiangnan Water Stronghold.

The Supervisory Council had planted secret agents throughout the Jiangnan water forts, and everything was recorded in great detail. Even Zhang Han under Li Chengping and the twenty Iron Eagle Swordsmen were recorded in the book.

"The third brother is really a man of hidden talents. He has quietly recruited such a group of talented people. Compared with the idiot Crown Prince, he is much stronger than him!"

Emperor Qing's eyes were full of admiration.

Although the Supervisory Council mentioned Zhang Han's strength in the letter, Emperor Qing did not take it seriously. To him, as long as the strength did not reach the level of a grandmaster, he would not care about the rest.

Eunuch Hou stood aside.

Listening to Emperor Qing's comments, he broke out in a cold sweat, lowered his head and held his breath. If possible, he even wanted to dig a hole and bury himself.

His Majesty seems to be somewhat dissatisfied with the Crown Prince. Oh my God, how could a eunuch like him know such a thing?

The more you know, the faster you die.

Thinking of this principle in the palace, Eunuch Hou felt even more uncertain about his future.

"Now that the Jiangnan Water Stronghold has been cleared out, should we issue an imperial decree to summon the Third Brother back to the capital immediately?"

Emperor Qing stroked his chin and fell into deep thought.

Just as he was struggling, a young eunuch ran in in a panic.

"Your Majesty, Dean Chen requests an audience!"

Emperor Qing's eyes lit up: "Just in time, let him in quickly!"

Soon, Chen Pingping walked in, turning his wheelchair and bowing to Emperor Qing.

"Your Majesty, I, Chen Pingping, pay my respects to you."

"No need to be so polite. What brings you here so late?" Emperor Qing looked curious.

Chen Pingping is a typical person who would not visit the palace unless there was something important to tell him. Moreover, it was already dark at this time, so he must have important business to visit the palace at this time.

"As expected, nothing can be hidden from you, Your Majesty."

Chen Pingping smiled, took out two secret letters from his sleeve, and asked Eunuch Hou to hand them over to Emperor Qing.

"Your Majesty, of these two secret letters, the top one is an expedited letter sent by the Third Prince on behalf of the Supervisory Council, and the other one is a summary of the Supervisory Council's latest situation in the Jiangnan region."

Listening to Chen Pingping's report, Emperor Qing's eyes lit up.

"Old Third, that bastard, finally remembered to write me a letter after all this time."

Emperor Qing was cursing under his breath but he couldn't hide the smile on his face.

He decisively opened the secret letter sent by Li Chengping, and after reading the contents, the smile on his face froze instantly.

"What a bold Ming family! They really betrayed my trust and are so arrogant!"

Emperor Qing slammed his hand on the table.

The roar echoed in the hall, and the anger in his eyes almost burst out.

Eunuch Hou shuddered with fear.

Having served Emperor Qing for many years, this was the first time he saw His Majesty so angry.

Chen Pingping looked confused and stretched his neck to see what was written in Li Chengping's secret letter.

"Take it and see it if you want!" Emperor Qing snorted coldly.

Chen Pingping smiled awkwardly when his idea was exposed.

He turned his wheelchair forward, picked up the secret letter, glanced at it, and when he saw the contents, he instantly became uneasy.

"Damn it! The Ming family is simply a parasite of the country. Your Majesty, they must be severely punished!"

Chen Pingping's face turned pale.

As the president of the Supervisory Commission, he has been acting in accordance with the principles of Ye Qingmei's words over the years.

What he can't tolerate the most is scum like the Ming family!
