Chapter 143 Some things don't need too many people to know
"Zhao Gao, deliver these notes to the officials' houses one by one, and tell them to go to the Ministry of Revenue to collect the money with the notes."

After giving the instructions, Li Chengping took the prepared gifts and went straight to the Prime Minister's Residence.

Upon learning that Li Chengping came to visit in person, Lin Ruofu was a little surprised and went out to greet him personally.

After entering the house, the two chatted for a while and then turned the topic to the court.

Lin Ruofu looked around and lowered his voice: "Your Highness, don't be proud of His Majesty's appointment of you as the Minister of War. This may not be a good thing."

Li Chengping frowned: "Uncle, what do you mean by this?"

"Your Highness, don't forget who the biggest military force is in the Qing Dynasty's court right now!"

Lin Ruofu's words instantly woke Li Chengping up.

"You mean, His Majesty made me the Minister of War in order to let Qin Ye check and balance me."

"That can't be said completely. Perhaps His Majesty sees that Qin Ye is powerful and wants you to restrain him."

Li Chengping's mouth twitched. No matter who was restraining whom, the two sides would eventually collide with each other.

I thought Emperor Qing was being kind-hearted this time, but who would have thought that he would fall into the trap of this old man.

This old man Qin Ye is different from others. He is loyal not to the Kingdom of Qing, but to the Emperor of Qing.

Over the years, the personnel in the court have been constantly replaced, but Qin Ye has never moved from that position, and even no official in the court has impeached him.

If you think about it carefully, there are indeed many problems here.

"Now that the entire army of Qing Kingdom is controlled by Qin Ye, I, the Minister of War, am just an empty shell!"

Li Chengping's mouth twitched.

"Don't be discouraged, Your Highness. There is still a long way to go. Maybe things will turn around."

Lin Ruofu comforted.

If it were someone else, he could think of a way, but he really had no idea what to do with Qin Ye.

"Thank you, uncle. I understand."

After a brief chat, Li Chengping declined the invitation to stay for lunch and left in a carriage.

After leaving the Prime Minister's Residence, he did not linger for a moment and went straight to the Ye family.

Ye Mansion.

Ye Chong was taking a day off today and was lying in the backyard to rest.

The butler ran in in a panic: "Master, the third prince is here and is waiting in the front hall."

Ye Chong woke up suddenly, changed his clothes quickly and ran to the front yard.

now.

In the front hall, Li Chengping was sitting there waiting, when suddenly a red figure rushed in hurriedly.

"Dad, I heard that the Third Prince has returned to the capital. Why don't you come to the Ye Mansion to visit?"

Ye Ling'er muttered.

She had just received news from the Royal Villa that Li Chengping had gone to the Prime Minister's Residence, so logically he should also come to their Ye family and visit.

As she spoke, she subconsciously raised her head, and when she saw Li Chengping sitting in the room, she was stunned on the spot.

"Miss Ye, I'm so sorry. I just returned to the capital not long ago. This is Suzhou embroidery. I hope you like it."

Li Chengping smiled slightly and handed over the gift he had prepared long ago.

"No, it's okay, I was just talking casually."

Ye Ling'er, who is usually carefree, now becomes hesitant.

Just when the atmosphere was becoming awkward, Ye Zhong walked in quickly from outside.

"father!"

Ye Ling'er hurried over, but Ye Zhong ignored her and quickly stepped forward to salute Li Chengping.

"Your Highness, I, Ye Chong, pay my respects to His Majesty the Third Prince!"

As he said this, he was about to kneel down to salute. Fortunately, Li Chengping reacted in time and quickly helped him up.

"Uncle Ye, what are you doing? We will be a family in the future, there is no need to be so polite. Besides, this is not in the court. I am visiting you in my personal capacity." He smiled slightly, picked up the exquisite gift box on the table and handed it to Ye Chong.

"Uncle, this is Hangzhou's Mingqian Longjing tea. It's a small gift. I hope you like it."

"Your Highness, this gift is too precious, I..."

Before Ye Zhong could finish his words, Li Chengping's face darkened.

"Uncle, didn't I just say that I am visiting you as a junior, so it is reasonable for me to give you a gift. If you don't accept it, you are not giving me face!"

Having said that, Ye Zhong had no choice but to accept it and glared at Ye Ling'er who was still standing next to him.

"What are you still standing here for? Go make some tea for His Highness!"

Ye Ling'er stuck out her tongue and ran away with embarrassment on her face.

Ye Zhong gritted his teeth, cupped his hands and smiled.

"Your Highness, I am so sorry. Please don't be angry because my daughter has been naughty. If there is anything wrong in the future, please feel free to teach her a lesson."

"Uncle, you're too kind. I really like Ling'er's personality. How could I bear to lose my temper with her?" Li Chengping smiled slightly.

Perhaps it was because Ye Chong was too serious, so it was always a little awkward for the two of them to chat together.

After sitting for a while, Li Chengping left in a carriage.

Not long after the person left, Ye Liuyun, who was out playing, heard the news and hurried back.

When he learned that Li Chengping had left, his old face suddenly turned dark.

"Can you please do something serious? Can't you think about keeping the Third Prince for a while longer?"

Ye Liuyun gritted his teeth in anger.

Li Chengping finally came to visit, but Ye Zhong ruined such a good opportunity.

"Uncle, the Third Prince is the king and I am the subject. I can't force him to leave!" Ye Zhong looked aggrieved.

"You can't say anything, but you have a daughter, can't you let the two young people build some relationship?" Ye Liuyun was so angry that his teeth itched.

Ye Chong frowned, hesitated for a moment and couldn't help asking.

"Uncle, I don't quite understand why you want Ling'er to be the third prince's concubine? There are so many rules in the royal family. I'm afraid she will suffer a loss!"

Ye Liuyun was silent for a moment, then slowly spoke a sentence.

"Remember, Ling'er is not marrying the royal family, but the Third Prince himself!"

After saying this, Ye Liuyun turned and left. He really wanted to tell Ye Zhong that Li Chengping also had a grandmaster by his side, but he knew that some things could not be said carelessly.

Some things are enough for him to know alone!
"The Ye family will be destroyed sooner or later if they rely on Ye Zhong, a blockhead like him. I still have to enlighten Ling'er."

……

Inside Guangxin Palace.

After making love, Li Chengqian and Li Yunrui lay on the bed to rest.

"Aunt, the Queen Mother has already agreed to help intercede for you to continue to stay in the capital."

Upon hearing the news, Li Yunrui showed joy on his face and gently kissed Li Chengqian on the forehead.

"Cheng Qian, you are really reliable. How about the transfer of the inner treasury? Does His Majesty agree?"

Li Chengqian smiled awkwardly: "Well, I haven't mentioned this to my father yet."

Noticing that Li Yunrui looked unhappy, he quickly changed the subject.

"In the court today, the third brother was appointed as the Minister of War. I'm afraid he will be furious this time. He went through so much hardship this time, but ended up with only a nominal position as the Minister of War."

Speaking of this, Li Chengqian couldn't help but want to laugh.

He had originally worried that Li Chengping would be given an important position when he returned this time, but he did not expect that he would only be given the position of Minister of War.

Everyone in the court knew that all the troops of Qing Kingdom were in Qin Ye's hands.

The former Minister of War couldn't bear this kind of life and directly requested to be transferred to another place.

If he had known that this would be the case, his previous worries would have been unnecessary!
