All Heavens: From Joy of Life to The Great Feng Night Watchman

Li Chang'an has a system within him, so in theory he only needs to develop quietly and doesn't need to get involved in messy things.

However, with Emperor Qing around, he will definitely torment you, thoroughly testing your limits before letting you go.

If the young Li Chang'an wants to follow the path of a carefree prince like Prince Jing, he has to constantly suffer setbacks and act cowardly so that Emperor Qing will think that he is indeed incompetent.

Li Chang'an always believed that pretending to be stupid for too long would make you truly stupid, and pretending to be cowardly for too long would make you truly cowardly.

When faced with crucial choices, if a person consistently chooses to appear weak, it can significantly impact their abilities and insights.

When facing another time traveler, Fan Xian, Li Chang'an took the initiative and forced Fan Xian to pretend to be timid.

Because Fan Xian pretended to be timid and didn't stand out like he did in the original timeline, the tests and trials he faced were much weaker.

Therefore, in the world that Li Chang'an traveled to, Fan Xian will also grow into a different person.

"Jingni, this cannot be said outright. To say it outright would be: Prince Yong, quickly send someone to assassinate me!"

"This kind of oral decree can't be passed on, but that's just Emperor Qing's style, it's indeed a bit annoying."

"Fortunately, there are two princes, the eldest princess, and Fan Xian ahead of us, so we are not his focus."

"Therefore, I must cultivate diligently and become a Grandmaster as soon as possible, so that I will not fear him then."

Jingni chuckled, "Your Highness, I look forward to the day you become a Grandmaster."

"Your Highness, there is a message from the Northern Qi's Luo Wang that we may need to pay attention to."

"The eldest princess controls the inner treasury, and the two major distributors of the inner treasury, the Cui family and the Ming family, have long been engaged in smuggling with Northern Qi and Dongyi City."

"Recently, the Cui family exchanged a large amount of smuggled goods with Shen Zhong, the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, for a spy network in the capital."

"It is unknown which intelligence network it was, as the number of members of the Luo Wang network who infiltrated the Jinyiwei is limited, but this matter should have been instigated by the Eldest Princess."

At this point in time, the intelligence network that Li Yunrui gained by sacrificing significant smuggling profits could only belong to Si Lili's faction.

Li Yunrui used Si Lili's token to incite Cheng Jushu to kill Fan Xian.

Si Lili's faction was only responsible to the Northern Qi royal family and was not under the control of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, so it's not surprising that Shen Zhong betrayed them.

It seems that the Crown Prince and the Second Prince want to win over Fan Xian, but the Eldest Princess's firm determination to assassinate Fan Xian remains unwavering.

"Recently, have the various local networks keep an eye on the movements of assassin organizations. If any particularly skilled assassins enter the capital, have Old Wang and his men rush them into the palace."

These days, Wang Qinian has been leading the Shadow Guards to search the city and capture assassins; you can go and do this.

In the original drama, this task was undertaken by the Surveillance Bureau, who used spies to incite a Northern Qi assassin to enter the palace to carry out the assassination.

The assassin who entered the palace to carry out the assassination attempt was killed on the spot by the palace official. Emperor Qing originally intended to use this incident as a pretext to attack Northern Qi.

However, the Niulan Street assassination happened at that time, and the emperor and his ministers put on a show to shift the blame to the Northern Qi, which led to the uprising.

According to the information Jingni just provided, the assassination attempt on Niulan Street will still occur.

East Palace.

The Crown Prince stood on the second-floor pavilion and berated Guo Baokun for a full half hour.

"A compiler from the Imperial Palace can't even handle such a small matter!"

"Guo Baokun, have all those poems and military strategies you've read gone to waste?"

Guo Baokun wiped the sweat from his forehead and immediately explained, "Your Highness, I have learned my lesson."

"After a detailed discussion with Fan Xian, I have come up with a new plan that will surely help Fan Xian become famous!"

The Crown Prince frowned and said, "Speak, let me hear what other good ideas you have!"

Guo Baokun said with a serious expression, "Fan Xian is a man of poor literary skills, but he is most skilled in chess and martial arts!"

"When he was in Danzhou, he was already unparalleled in hand-to-hand combat, and none of the city's elders could match him."

"His martial arts are even more impressive. He's only sixteen years old and he's already about to break through to the eighth rank!"

“Your Highness, Commander Gong is over forty years old and only at the peak of the eighth rank. This shows that Fan Xian has enormous potential in martial arts!”

If you want to help Fan Xian make a name for himself, you should start with chess and martial arts, instead of organizing some nonsense poetry gathering!

Fan Xian was never good at literature, and instead of showing his face at the poetry gathering, he ended up showing his backside.

Guo Baokun continued, "I know all the great chess players in the capital. I can take Fan Xian to visit them and have a friendly match!"

"As for martial arts, I can take Fan Xian to challenge the famous young masters in the capital!"

Upon hearing Guo Baokun's words, the Crown Prince frowned.

"Making a name for oneself through chess is one such method. As long as one defeats one or two masters, there will naturally be those who are not convinced and come to challenge one another."

"You can't make a name for yourself through martial arts. Daqing was founded on martial arts. If you and Fan Xian do this, you will offend a lot of people."

"Perhaps I should petition my father to reinstate the martial arts competition for minors, allowing all boys aged sixteen and under to participate."

"In that case, even if the Qin family boy and the Ye family girl lose, they will not hold a grudge against you or me."

Chapter 76 Young Martial Arts Champion, Chess Saint of Daqing! Is Fan Xian about to turn the tables?

A few days later, in the Imperial Study.

Over the past few days, Li Chang'an has been cultivating at full capacity, and has finally filled the acupoints in his body with true qi.

Now, the true energy within Li Chang'an's body is forty to fifty times that of Hong Sixiang.

A grandmaster like Emperor Qing possesses a hundred times, or even a thousand times, more true qi than Hong Sixiang!

That's what makes a Grandmaster so terrifying!

While ordinary martial artists can store qi in their meridians, Li Chang'an can store qi in his acupoints, and Emperor Qing can store qi throughout his entire body.

I'm here at the Imperial Study today because an assassin has broken into the palace!

A seventh-rank assassin attempted to assassinate Emperor Qing, but was killed by Gong Dian in the inner city.

At this moment, Emperor Qing was angrily rebuking Zhu Ge, "Zhu Ge! What's wrong with your Oversight Council?!"

"Assassins are becoming increasingly rampant, and now one has even broken into the palace!"

Zhu Ge's face twitched a few times, then he glanced at Li Chang'an out of the corner of his eye.

It seems that Li Chang'an took the initiative and successfully forced the assassin into the palace to be fed by the palace officials, so Zhu Ge is the one who has to be scolded.

The Overwatch Council has many people, but the Dragon Guard Manor has many experts, and Zhu Ge can't mobilize the experts from the Sixth Bureau.

With Chen Pingping absent, Zhu Ge, who is temporarily in charge of the Supervisory Council, can only take the blame and be scolded.

Today, the Imperial Study only houses the Crown Prince, the Second Prince, Li Chang'an, Zhu Ge, and Ye Zhong; it is not a large space.

Name: Zhu Ge

Age: 42 years old

Realm: Lower Seventh Rank

Talents: Espionage (Rank 7), Political Intrigue (Rank 3)

Abilities: Espionage (Rank 9), Management (Rank 6), Political Maneuvering (Rank 5)

Emotion: 50

Zhu Ge was not well-versed in poetry and literature, but he had a deep affection for Li Chang'an, which shows that he was not hostile towards him.

In the original drama, Zhu Ge insisted that the Supervisory Council should be held by the royal family so as not to become a tool for rebellion.

Therefore, although Zhu Ge was the eldest princess's man, he did not harbor any animosity towards Li Chang'an, who was a prince.

"Your Majesty, I am ashamed. I will thoroughly investigate the identity of this assassin, find the mastermind behind it, and bring all these audacious individuals to justice!"

Emperor Qing said coldly, "Don't let your guard down just because Chen Pingping isn't here!"

"With a major battle imminent, the Surveillance Bureau has recently made several mistakes in its intelligence gathering. I do not want this to happen again!"

The Northern Qi assassins entered the palace; once the truth is uncovered, this can be used as a pretext to start a war.

The events unfolded as Emperor Qing had anticipated, so he did not actually fly into a rage.

After Emperor Qing finished scolding Zhu Ge, he turned his gaze to Ye Zhong, who wisely knelt down.

"Your Majesty, the assassins' intrusion into the palace is a dereliction of duty by the Kyoto Garrison Commander!"

"The Kyoto garrison patrolled day and night, but the assassins were so cunning that they still managed to break into the palace."

"This is all my fault, I am ashamed!"

After Ye Zhong's profound self-analysis and reflection, Emperor Qing said nothing more.

When he turned his gaze to Li Chang'an, Li Chang'an immediately changed the subject.

"Your Majesty, with a great battle imminent, the key is to unite the people!"

"Our Great Qing was founded on military strength, and its martial virtue is abundant, which has won the respect of the world."

"Your Majesty, I humbly request that you reopen military discussions to demonstrate the martial spirit of Daqing!"

Emperor Qing paused for a moment, then seemed to realize something and a smile appeared on his face.

"Military discussions... are indeed a good way to unite people's hearts before a battle."

The so-called "martial arts competition" is actually a martial arts contest held in a ring, and then a ranking of martial arts prowess is determined.
