Journey to the West: Start by giving Taishang Laojun a whole life

Chapter 255 Fan Xian: Ha! You Gen Z kids are a lost generation!
Emperor Qing was no less incompetent than other foolish emperors.

He is not only extremely capable.

Besides the Grandmaster hidden in the Imperial Palace.

Moreover, he is meticulous.

They have an extremely high degree of control over power.

She is one of the few in all the heavens and myriad realms who, through her own cunning, was able to kill a transmigrator protagonist like Ye Qingmei, who seemed to have cheat codes.

Imagine this: the opponent has a mysterious background, a Grandmaster-level bodyguard, connections with two other Grandmasters, and a bunch of loyal guards. How could you kill them all by yourself without arousing suspicion?

So Emperor Qing does have some tricks up his sleeve.

If it weren't for Fan Xian's appearance later...

He could probably kill the other two Grandmasters, then launch a massive army to swallow up Northern Qi, Dongyi City, and other small countries, possessing the potential to rule the world, becoming a unified emperor, and achieving lasting fame.

But he was such a remarkable person.

When faced with Zhang Tianshi from Journey to the West, he was destined to exit the stage of history and suffer endless torment.

Zhang Tian drew up the blueprints for the composite crossbow, a pinnacle of cold weapon innovation. Compared to firearms, its manufacturing process was not complicated.

He handed it over to Fan Jian.

Tell them to find a craftsman as soon as possible to make it.

Because this is the strongest support for rebellion.

"That person is in charge of the Censorate, which is similar to the powerful Embroidered Uniform Guard in the future. He has the Black Riders with extremely strong combat capabilities under his command, plus thousands of Tiger Guards who are loyal to your father. The number of people is more than enough."

"But without the help of this composite crossbow, there would probably be more twists and turns, after all, the commanders of the Imperial Guards, Gong Dian and Yan Xiaoyi, are both loyal royalists."

"And then there are the Ye and Qin families who guard the capital. They are also Emperor Qing's most loyal subordinates. They cannot be won over and must be suppressed with bloodshed!"

The old man of the Qin family had participated in the killing of Ye Qingmei, making them mortal enemies.

Ye Liuyun of the Ye family is a Grandmaster. While he may not be entirely loyal to Emperor Qing, he is definitely on the other side. If any unrest occurs, the other side will certainly respond.

These people need to be suppressed with blood!
The best one is the composite crossbow!
Its lethality is no less than that of a gun.

And it's quick to learn.

It can quickly transform ordinary guards into an elite force with extremely high lethality, comparable to eighth or ninth-rank masters!
"Oh, by the way, there's one more thing."

"Tomorrow at court, I need Vice Minister Fan to bring up one more matter: the marriage agreement between the Lin family and Fan Xian. I urge them to get married as soon as possible and inherit the inner treasury."

"Of course, the internal treasury is not important."

"The important thing is..."

"Spread the word about Fan Xian, let the entire court and everyone in the capital know that Emperor Qing has another prince!"

Although there were many rebellions during feudal dynasties.

However, in terms of the difficulty of rebellion, the least turmoil is undoubtedly caused by family members seizing power, sons beating fathers, and younger brothers beating older brothers.

Ultimately, it's just internal strife, and not many people are willing to risk their lives.

If it were to encounter something like a foreign invasion.

That was a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood; people were willing to sacrifice their lives and shed their blood to fight!
Fan Jian nodded.

So he took advantage of the night to arrange these things.

Fan Xian was left completely bewildered. They were supposed to be rebelling, so why were they pushing things toward his engagement?
He doesn't understand!

He spoke righteously and repeatedly declined, after all, he was a modern man with higher education, full of free thought, and refused arranged marriages and the like.

"You don't understand. I like a girl holding a chicken leg, not some Lin Wan'er from the Prime Minister Lin family."

Chicken Leg Girl is so nice, isn't she?

Gentle and considerate.

That so-called Lin Wan'er might be an ugly freak with all her hair gone, or a big, burly woman?
Fan Xian: Ugly! I want free love, I want the chicken leg girl, I swear I'd rather die than have Lin Wan'er!

Zhang Tian's expression was strange, with a hint of mockery in his eyes. After all, he knew very well that the "chicken leg girl" the other party mentioned was actually Lin Wan'er. Fan Xian had fallen in love with her at first sight, and even gave up the throne to live in seclusion with her by the sea. That was true love.

"You really don't want it?"

"I really don't want to!"

"You'll regret this." "I'm a modern person! You know what free love is, don't you? Aren't you Gen Z kids like this?"

"Uh...we Gen Z kids still quite like to have things done for us."

After graduation, my parents arranged a job, a house, and even a wife for me. Isn't that great?
Fan Xian: ...

Fan Xian looked disgusted. "You have no fighting spirit at all, you just want to give up and accept an arranged marriage. Humph! You Gen Z kids are a lost generation!"

Zhang Tian: …

Zhang Tian: 6!

He didn't care about Fan Xian's marriage; he just wanted to use this incident to smoothly push forward the assassination attempt on Niulan Street.

After all, there are quite a few advantages. One is that you can take the opportunity to muddy the waters and attract other people's attention.

Secondly, it can expose the mastermind behind the scenes and eliminate them all in one fell swoop, preventing anyone from stabbing you in the back when you take control of the Qing Kingdom and conquer the world in the future. It's disgusting.

Thirdly, by taking advantage of Fan Xian's assassination attempt, they lured back Wu Zhu, the enemy's loyal bodyguard whose strength was comparable to that of a Grandmaster.

There is a fourth point.

It is also the most important.

"This assassination will definitely be a big event. I'll make a splash and gain a lot of followers, but I feel like it's not enough..."

"Are you sure the magic power you exchanged is enough to kill a Grandmaster?"

Zhang Tian felt that the Grandmaster was brave and invincible, so he decided to play it safe.

But Zhang Tianping, the protagonist of Journey to the West, remained completely indifferent.

He said calmly, "Grandmaster? I was one when I was nine years old."

He started practicing martial arts at the age of 8, reached the pinnacle of martial arts at the age of 13, became invincible, and became a martial arts saint!

Grandmaster?
Just one on the side of the road.

Zhang Tian: 6!

Time flies by.

Fan Jian, who had been in charge of the Ministry of Revenue for decades, arranged the composite crossbow matter overnight and wrote a draft that night, which he then recounted to the court the next day.

This directly shocked the entire court.

My son Fan Xian has been in the capital for several days now, all because of the memorial I submitted. He's young and hot-tempered, and many courtesans in the capital are enamored with him. I'm afraid things might escalate, so I've come to urge him to get married quickly, so he'll have a wife to keep him in check and prevent him from making mistakes.

Hmm, let's also inherit the internal database...

When Fan Jian's shameless memorial was submitted, Lin Wan'er's father, Prime Minister Lin, looked extremely embarrassed, but soon the faces of the other ministers also turned ugly.

They were nominally the emperor's subjects, but in reality... they each had their own masters...

Especially the eldest princess who was in charge of the imperial treasury.

He also won over a large group of people.

The Eldest Princess: "I've spent so many years in the capital, spent so much money, and supported so many people!"

So the imperial court was incredibly noisy.

No one was willing to give up the inner treasury.

Emperor Qing saw this and summoned the Eldest Princess. She was extremely smug, feeling that she had victory in her grasp, but she was quickly brought to her senses by Fan Jian's words.

Fan Jian whispered:

"You're saying Fan Xian is just a country bumpkin and not qualified to manage the Imperial Treasury?"

"But don't forget, the inner treasury was built by his mother, and now that her son is in charge, it's like returning something to its rightful owner!"

His mother?

Who is his mother?

Amidst the bewildered gazes of the ministers, the eldest princess, as if seeing a ghost, looked at Fan Jian and uttered those four words she had dreamt of.

"Ye Qingmei!"

"If it wasn't her, could it be me?"

Princess: Ye Qingmei!!!
