Chapter 144 We are all family, you are welcome

Minister of War?

Li Yunrui frowned.

Seeing that Li Chengping was given a position without real power, she was relieved, but she always felt that something was wrong.

I can't tell exactly what's wrong.

"You still have to be careful about everything. You don't have to worry about the transfer of the inner treasury. I will go and talk to His Majesty in detail. You can visit the Second Brother more often when you have time."

“Remember, the enemy of my enemy is my friend.”

Li Yunrui smiled meaningfully.

……

The next period of time passed quite peacefully.

Li Chengping went to the Ministry of War for a visit. Due to his status as a prince and his contribution in suppressing the rebellion, everyone in the Ministry respected him very much.

After research, he found that Qin Ye’s control over the army was not that strict.

He was also able to mobilize many powers within the Ministry of War and command a team of thousands of people.

However, this order concerns the local troops in the capital, and it needs to be approved by both Qin Ye and Emperor Qing before it can be mobilized.

"It seems that the Ministry of War is not as bad as described by the outside world. However, this position is very sensitive. I'd better quickly collect the fourth volume of the Grandmaster's Heart Sutra and break through my strength first!"

Li Chengping muttered to himself that everything in the Ministry of War was running smoothly anyway and he didn't need to worry about any mess.

When he returned home, he called Zhao Gao over.

"What's going on with Fan Xian recently?"

Although Zhao Gao didn't understand why his highness was so concerned about a small character, he still answered truthfully.

"Reporting to Your Highness, Master Fan has been hiding at home recently. It is said that Minister Fan is looking for a girl in the capital to propose marriage for him."

Propose marriage to Fan Xian?
Li Chengping looked a little stunned and didn't know what to say for a moment.

It seems that influenced by this little butterfly of his own, Fan Xian has embarked on a completely different path from before.

But think about it this way it's good, at least he doesn't have to deal with so many intrigues and schemes.

With Fan Jian's protection, Fan Xian will never have to worry about food and clothing. He can live the life of a rich young man, marry three wives and four concubines, and live a happy life.

To be honest, if he had the chance, Li Chengping would also like to live such a life.

It’s a pity that as he was born into a royal family, he was destined not to have this possibility.

"By the way, how is the situation at Taiping Villa?"

Li Chengping's eyes darkened.

Although Fan Xian had that mysterious weapon in his hand, it was just a piece of scrap metal without bullets.

Things left by Ye Qingmei are hidden under Taiping Villa, and the bullet is most likely there.

He didn't know how much of a threat this thing posed to the Grand Master, but such a dangerous weapon must never be in the hands of outsiders.

"Your Highness, everything is normal at Taiping Villa. There is no unusual movement. It's just that His Majesty occasionally goes there to sit for a while."

Seeing that there was nothing unusual, Li Chengping felt relieved.

"By the way, I brought you two ninth-rank warriors from Jiangnan. Let them become non-staff members of Luowang. Let them do anything dangerous first."

Li Chengping smiled.

This is the purpose of conquering the two people from Dongyi City. After all, there are only a limited number of Luowang members, and these people are absolutely loyal to him.

If there is any danger, let these two people go up. Luowang has plenty of money anyway.

In addition, given their cowardly personalities, it is not difficult to control them.

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

Zhao Gao's eyes lit up. It was a good thing that someone volunteered to be a killer, especially when he was a ninth-rank warrior.

After finding out where the two men were hiding, he left in a hurry.

After all, Luowang also needs some fresh blood, and these two are a good start.

After Zhao Gao left, Li Chengping thought about it, asked someone to select two Danzhou specialties from the gifts, and took a carriage straight to Fan Mansion.

Inside Fan Mansion.

Fan Jian sat there with a sad face, completely losing his usual calm demeanor.

Liu Ruyu was sitting next to him, also looking anxious.

"Master, please don't just sit there and say nothing. Think of a solution. You can't just watch Fan Xian go without eating or drinking."

"How can I not be anxious? But he won't eat, can you still force him? I... I can't hit him!"

Fan Jian was so angry that his beard trembled.

"That's easy for you to say. You taught Sizhe a lot when he was a child."

Liu Ruyu snorted coldly.

She muttered something, but in her heart she felt very sorry for Fan Xian.

After all, she is also a mother. Her child has left his parents and lived alone in Danzhou since he was young. She feels sad just thinking about such a life.

"Sizhe was naughty and disobedient back then, and he's still the same now, fiddling with that bookstore all day. Can't he do something normal?"

Speaking of Fan Sizhe, Fan Jian became even more furious.

Scholars, farmers, industry and commerce.

In Qing Kingdom, this concept is still unavoidable.

What's more, Fan Jian is the Minister of Revenue, and he grew up wearing open-crotch pants with Emperor Qing.

Now his son is actually hawking his wares on the street like a street vendor. How do his colleagues in the court view this?
What will everyone talk about when they get together and talk about their younger generations?
It would be fine if the bookstore was doing well, but it has always been lukewarm, which is very annoying.

"The Third Prince has become the Minister of War, why don't you go and talk to him and ask Sizhe to go in and help as well."

Liu Ruyu's eyes lit up.

As soon as he said this, Fan Jian glared back at him coldly.

"The officialdom is not as simple as you think. With Fan Sizhe's ability, he will be squeezed out within a week after entering."

Liu Ruyu felt very unhappy that her son was being belittled in this way.

"How can you be a father like this? Sizhe and the Third Prince played together when they were young. If the Third Prince can do it, why can't Sizhe?"

"you!!"

Fan Jian was so angry that he blew his beard and glared. Just as he was about to say something, the housekeeper hurried in.

"Master, Madam, the Third Prince is here to visit."

"Come on, follow me out to greet them!"

As he spoke, Fan Jian stood up and walked outside. As soon as he reached the door, he saw Li Chengping walking towards him with a smile on his face.

"Your servant Fan Jian..."

Before Fan Jian could finish his words, Li Chengping stopped him.

"Uncle Fan, this isn't the court, so there's no need to be so polite. You're still my elder, so I should be polite to you. We're all family, so there's no need to be polite."

"Your Highness, you must not do that."

Fan Jian said this, but he had a smile on his face that he could not hide.

Li Chengping is the most popular prince at the moment. It would be a lie to say that I am not proud of him being treated so politely.

"Chengping, he just got his brain damaged by being an official. Don't bother with this. Let's go inside and sit down."

Liu Ruyu smiled, pulled Li Chengping into the house, and poured a cup of tea herself.

"Chengping, did you encounter any danger during your trip to Dongyi City? I heard that you encountered pirates in Jiangnan. Were you injured?"

Listening to Liu Ruyu's chatter, Li Chengping felt warm in his heart.

Everyone else was targeting him, but Liu Ruyu was the only one who expressed her concern for him.
