From Joy of Life, the Tian Gang is reversed

Chapter 9 East Palace
A third-grade warrior!
Although he is not a master, he can still travel around the world and make a living in it without any problem.

What's more, the third rank is just the strength he showed.

After finishing a set of boxing, Li Chengqian stopped and let out a long breath, "No rush, no rush, I still have time, plenty of time."

He clearly remembered that the real start of the storyline in this world was when Fan Xian came to Beijing, and from the conversation, he should have been eighteen years old at that time, which means he still had seven years to hone himself. With abundant resources, a lottery once a year, and the talisman that said hard work pays off, at the age of eighteen, even if he didn't become a grandmaster, he would at least be a strong man above the ninth rank.

It’s a pity that my identity and the environment I’m in are not suitable for showing off in front of others!
Over the past three years, he has been hiding his abilities and keeping his cultivation progress within a reasonable range.

In this world, it is safe, but there are also many troubles. Everyone you come into contact with seems to have seven or eight hundred schemes, so you have to hide your shortcomings.

Look at what happened today during the day.

He is so young, but his good aunt has already started stuffing people into his pocket.

And the tutors and lecturers in Guangning Palace...

Who wouldn't want to use the Guangning Palace as a platform to exert influence on His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?

"I'm afraid that tomorrow, many people will impeach me. And my good aunt, will she think I'm deliberately plotting against her? Will she have other ideas? However, she hasn't been in charge of the inner treasury for long, so it's better to be quiet than to act. Even if she suspects me, she won't make any big moves. And with me lying flat on my back, she won't be able to find any flaws, right?!!"

At noon, he had lunch with the eldest princess at the Empress Dowager's place. In the afternoon, he directly expelled Gu Qing, a great general among the Qingliu, from Guangning Palace.

With just this little connection, how could the court officials, whose minds were constantly thinking about seven or eight hundred things, not make many associations?

This is the way the world is

Imagination is the most terrifying.

As for me, as long as I behave badly enough, no one can take advantage of me.

I just don’t know, now that I have created the tomb of Emperor Wenzong, what will our protagonist rely on to show off in the future?
He just doesn't like to see others showing off in front of him.

Just as Li Chengqian guessed.

The day after he expelled Gu Qingqing from Changning Palace, the Inspector General wrote a letter of impeachment, saying that the prince did not listen to advice, was stubborn and self-willed, bullied the tutor, and blocked the channels of communication.

Of course, there are only a few people who dare to be so stubborn and directly impeach him, and they are not very clear-headed.

The one who was actually impeached in large numbers was Her Royal Highness the Princess.

Of course, these impeachments did not express the plots they imagined, but were just some old clichés. After all, after the eldest princess took charge of the inner treasury, she had huge interests in her hands, which naturally touched the nerves of many people.

In response to this, Emperor Qing just kept it in his pocket and didn't say much.

This matter naturally came to nothing.

As for those blind people who impeached Li Chengqian, in the following months, they were successively demoted or arrested on other charges. Everything is self-explanatory.

Li Chengqian's life returned to normal.

Practice in the morning and study in the afternoon

He also became familiar with the new tutors.

Time flies, and another year has passed in a flash.

In the training ground of the Eastern Palace, Li Chengqian swung his palm like a knife, fiercely smashing it on the small tree in front of him, and then withdrew.

Snapped!
With a pleasant cracking sound, the small tree was chopped off by his palm.

"Congratulations, His Royal Highness, on entering the Fourth Rank!"

At the edge of the training ground, Gong Dian's eyes flashed with satisfaction, and he clasped his fists and smiled.

He was indeed very satisfied.

I originally thought that teaching the prince was a tough job, but who would have thought that His Royal Highness the Prince would be so dedicated to martial arts and have such perseverance.

To be fair, reaching the second rank in more than half a year is not an outstanding achievement, but considering his age, status and qualifications.

This is already a remarkable achievement.

"Master Gong teaches well." Li Chengqian was also very satisfied with his own progress. "Master Gong, can you teach me Liuyun Sanshou now?"

This was what he and Gong Dian had agreed on before.

Gong Dian studied under the grandmaster Ye Liuyun. Ye Liuyun did not hide his knowledge from his disciple just because Gong Dian was not a member of the Ye family. Instead, he taught him all his martial arts.

Therefore, Gong Dian also possessed a copy of the Ye family's Liuyun Sanshou technique. "Your Highness, His Majesty has ordered that after today, I will not be able to come every day. These are my notes on practicing Liuyun Sanshou. Your Highness, please practice first. If there is anything you don't understand, I will come and explain it to you."

As he spoke, Gong Dian presented Li Chengqian with a book that he had already prepared with very detailed annotations.

Li Chengqian took the book, a trace of regret on his face. "I know you've been promoted, and official business is more important, so I won't keep you any longer."

After saying that, he raised his hand
A young eunuch respectfully came up to the two of them holding a tray.

"Master Gong has been promoted. As his disciple, I cannot fail to express my gratitude. This small token of my appreciation is, firstly, to thank you for your diligent instruction over the years, and secondly, to congratulate you on your promotion and wish you a bright future."

"Your humble servant dare not." Looking at the tray full of gold ingots, Gong Dian's eyes narrowed slightly and he said he dared not.

"Take it. It's just a small token of my appreciation. I don't think I can bribe Master Gong with this little thing." Looking at Gong Dian who was hesitant to refuse, Li Chengqian smiled and asked the eunuch to hand the tray to Gong Dian. Then he turned around and found two teenagers about his age still lying in the training ground.

"Guangkun, oh, wrong again. Baokun, and Qin Yuan, both of you come here."

Guo Baokun, who was lying on the ground with his tongue hanging out like a dog, got up quickly as if he had been pardoned. On the other side, a young man with his upper body naked and standing in a horse stance in an orderly manner also put away his posture and ran over happily.

Guo Baokun and Qin Yuan, one is the son of the Minister of Rites and the other is the grandson of the Privy Councilor, and they are both his tutors now.

Originally, according to the rules, as a prince, he could have eight tutors, but Li Chengqian was unwilling to do so. He was not a person who cared about ostentation, and he felt uncomfortable with so many people around him.

He sent the other people back for various reasons.

So he only kept three people around him.

In addition to these two, there is also Lin Gong.

Guo Baokun has a simple mind, so he feels at ease keeping them by his side. As for the other two, one is from the Qin family and the other is from the Lin family. One is a civil official and the other is a military official. Both are important officials. In addition, Lin Gong is recommended by the eldest princess, so he has to be given some face.

So, I kept these three.

As for any disciples or guests, there was not a single one.

Since you are going to lie down, then lie down completely.

Anyway, the question is, the Eastern Palace doesn't keep idle people.

"I've been telling you two are ignorant, and you two really are. Don't you know that Master Gong got a promotion today? You didn't even show any appreciation, so how can you be his apprentice?"

"Uh, um, Your Highness, I... I don't know..."

Guo Baokun raised his hand to wipe the sweat off his face, his face red from being sunburned.

"You don't know, didn't Lin Gong tell you? It seems that Lin Gong doesn't regard you as his own, or he just stopped playing with you after his father became the prime minister?"

"Ah?!" Guo Baokun raised his head in confusion. At this moment, his brain capacity was not enough to understand the meaning of Li Chengqian's words.

He looked so stupid that Li Chengqian felt embarrassed standing in front of him.

Qin Yuan, on the other hand, chuckled and said with an embarrassed look, "Your Highness, I have already delivered my gift last night."

Now it was Gong Dian's turn to feel embarrassed and he coughed twice.

"Your Highness, it's not that bad. It really isn't that bad."

"What do you mean? A gift is always a good thing. How can we not celebrate such a good thing?"

"Guangkun, Baokun, go back and tell your father to pay the gift back immediately. He is from the Ministry of Rites and cannot be disrespectful.

In addition, there will be a banquet in the palace tonight to congratulate Master Gong on his promotion."

"Your Highness, this is inappropriate, isn't it?"

"You are my martial arts master. Now that you have been promoted, it's okay for our family to be happy in the palace. If I don't do it, someone might come to pick my gift. Okay, it's settled." Li Chengqian said in a firm tone, not giving Gong Dian any chance to refuse.

"Yes!" Gong Dian replied with a wry smile.

Although he had some concerns, he knew in his heart that since he took up this teaching position, he had been branded as a prince.

He is considered the prince's man.

Unless Emperor Qing gave the order, there was no way he could erase the stigma of the Crown Prince.
