Chapter 7: Fame, the Leader of the Net

"Now that the third brother has become famous outside, either make him your friend or don't offend him easily."

Li Yunrui said slowly.

"Aunt, even if the third brother is crowned king, why should I, the crown prince, try to win him over?"

Li Chengqian frowned.

As a crown prince, he felt humiliated to stoop to win over a powerless prince.

Li Yunrui picked up the teacup and took a sip.

"In fact, you don't need to be too hostile to the third brother. His Majesty did not let him participate in the court affairs, which alienated him from the center of power."

"Although he has the right to establish a government and a garrison, it costs a lot to support an army. Without external economic support, this is simply impossible!"

"You don't need to focus on the third brother now. Instead, you should pay more attention to Fan Xian."

Li Yunrui said slowly.

Although his face seemed expressionless, there was a hint of cold light flashing in the depths of his eyes.

Emperor Qing had promised long ago that once Fan Xian and Lin Wan'er got married, he would take charge of the financial power of the inner treasury.

This thing is Li Yunrui's confidence and foundation. How can he be willing to hand over the power to an outsider now?

"Aunt, please rest assured. Fan Xian is just an illegitimate child. He is not qualified to marry Wan'er. I will take care of this matter!"

Li Chengqian patted his chest and said.

He lived a very extravagant life on weekdays, and his ordinary income was not enough to meet his needs. He was completely supported by the inner treasury.

More importantly, Li Chengqian would never allow the financial power of the inner treasury to be in the hands of an outsider!
at the same time.

The second prince's residence.

Li Chengze was sitting in a hanging chair, reading a copy of "Dream of Red Mansions" intently in his hands.

Suddenly, hurried footsteps were heard.

Xie Bian walked into the house quickly and said with a bow, "Your Highness, there have been a lot of rumors in the city recently that are unfavorable to the Third Prince. Do you want us to help stop them?"

"No need. The Third Brother doesn't care, so why should we worry about it? Just pay more attention to Fan Xian recently."

Li Chengze said without raising his head.

He originally thought that Li Chengping would take advantage of Emperor Qing's favor and take drastic actions after leaving the palace.

Who would have thought that after such a long time, there was no movement in Prince Wen's Mansion, causing him to waste a lot of time in vain!

"Your Highness, Fan Xian doesn't seem to be easy to get along with. All the visiting cards we sent were returned."

"It's okay. I'll just keep sending it back until he's willing to meet me."

at the same time.

The backyard of the Fan Mansion.

Fan Sizhe called Fan Xian and Fan Ruoruo together, and mysteriously took out a half-large brocade box from behind.

"Fan Xian, sister, I bought a good thing in the market today, the famous poem of His Majesty King Wen!" Fan Sizhe said proudly.

"Really? Take it out and let me see it!" Fan Ruoruo looked excited.

The two masterpieces made Li Chengping an overnight sensation, and now he has become the sweetheart of countless girls in Kyoto City.

Fan Ruoruo also likes poetry and literature very much. She hears and sees a lot of poetry and literature from her little sisters, and her heart is full of curiosity.

"Sister, this poem cost me a lot of money. Let's make a deal first. If I get beaten in the future, you must speak up for me in front of Dad."

Fan Sizhe said.

Fan Ruoruo rolled her eyes and said, "Look at how little you can do. Don't worry, I will definitely speak up for you next time."

"Hehe, I feel relieved with these words."

Fan Sizhe grinned, opened the brocade box, and took out two picture frames from it, which were framed extremely beautifully.

Fan Ruoruo ignored the appearance and was attracted by the poetry in the frame.

"It has a rigorous structure and extraordinary style. Looking at the entire history of Qing Kingdom, I am afraid that there is no poem that can predict and match it!"

Fan Ruoruo couldn't help but sigh.

This high evaluation immediately caught Fan Xian's attention.

He came forward curiously, and the moment he saw the poem, his expression became slightly strange.

"Fan Sizhe, how much did you spend on these two poems?" Fan Xian asked.

"One hundred taels of silver." "One hundred taels of silver?!"

Fan Xian widened his eyes and stared at the poem in front of him, his face full of shock.

"What do you know? Poetry is priceless. If it were to happen again, even a hundred taels of silver wouldn't be able to buy it."

There was a hint of regret in Fan Sizhe's tone.

If this matter did not involve His Royal Highness King Wen, he would have thought of getting a batch of goods to sell on the street.

The corners of Fan Xian's mouth twitched a few times, and he was too lazy to argue about this matter with Fan Sizhe.

"By the way, who are the authors of these two poems?" Fan Xian asked.

"What is an author?" Fan Sizhe was confused.

“Who wrote this poem?”

"It's His Royal Highness Prince Wen, the current Third Prince of Qing. We used to play in the mud together, but I didn't expect this guy to change so much!"

Fan Sizhe muttered.

Fan Xian didn't pay attention to the rest of the words, but secretly memorized the name of the Third Prince.

"The Third Prince? He's quite interesting. I must go meet him after I finish what I'm doing!"

……

With these two poems, he stirred up the literary world of Qing Kingdom.

Li Chengping, the instigator, sat at home and paid no attention to what was happening in the outside world.

At this time, a servant hurried into the room and said, "My Lord, someone has come from the palace. He said that he is here to serve you on the orders of the noble concubine."

Li Chengping frowned and subconsciously wanted to chase the man away, but stopped talking.

When I arrived at the yard, I saw a white-faced, beardless eunuch standing there with a faint smile on his face.

Seeing Li Chengping appear, the eunuch ran forward quickly and knelt on the ground.

"Your servant Zhao Gao pays respect to His Majesty King Wen."

Hearing this name, Li Chengping froze in place for a moment, and suddenly remembered the system's reward.

But he still needs to further verify his ideas!
After sending away the servants, Li Chengping brought Zhao Gao to the study.

Before he could ask, Zhao Gao knelt down on his own initiative.

"Zhao Gao, the leader of Luowang, pays respect to His Highness!"

"Okay, please get up quickly."

Li Chengping raised his hand and looked him up and down: "Zhao Gao, what is your current level of cultivation? How many people are there in Luowang?"

"Reporting to Your Highness, my servant's cultivation is above the ninth rank."

"So far, Luowang has a total of 1,800 people, currently spread out across the surrounding countries, allowing Your Highness to keep abreast of surrounding conditions at all times."

Zhao Gao answered respectfully.

"Well, you've come at the right time. From today on, you will be the steward of Prince Wen's Mansion, responsible for all affairs of the palace."

Li Chengping said with a smile.

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness. I will definitely manage the entire palace beautifully."

Li Chengping smiled faintly, waved his hand and said nothing more.

Zhao Gao was able to organize and manage such a huge network in an orderly manner, so governing a mere royal palace should be a piece of cake for him.

As Li Chengping's order was issued, there was an uproar in the palace.

No one expected that this eunuch from the palace would suddenly become the steward of the palace.

Before these servants and maids could think of how to curry favor, Zhao Gao's first order was to carry out a major reshuffle in the palace.

All the maids and servants in the palace were sent away, and then he got a group of people from somewhere to fill the previous vacancies.

Li Chengping saw everything and did not stop it at all.

As for the unfamiliar faces in the courtyard.

Although no one knew him, everyone had sincere respect in their eyes when they saw him.

In addition to these people's attitude of obeying Zhao Gao's orders, Li Chengping probably guessed their origins.
