The Demonic Crown Prince

"This, this, Your Highness, Liu Guanjia is the Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the Capital Region General's Office, a third-rank official..."

Yan Poshan said stammeringly.

"What's there to be afraid of? I've even beaten up the Minister of War and the Minister of Revenue, what's a little bit of his business?"

Li Yuan smiled dismissively.

"But, but the Privy Councilor Zhao Shanhe is the Western Chancellor, one of the two chancellors alongside the Prime Minister, who controls the nation's military power. If you beat him, you're slapping half the court in the face... Your Highness, you should think twice."

Yan Poshan swallowed hard.

"I beat all three princes to a pulp, and even knocked out one of the Duke's wife's front teeth. What can a mere Prime Minister like him do?"

Li Yuan kept sneering.

"Alright... But, Your Highness, you've already punished enough people these past few days, but mainly civil officials. Why are you now targeting military officers, and even going after these two? These two are representative figures among military officers..."

Yan Poshan dared not persuade him any further, and instead asked in a low voice.

"I'm hitting the representative. Damn it, don't think I don't know. The assassination attempt when I was fighting Jiang Zhanyue was all Liu Guanjia's doing."

Liu Guanjia was someone Zhao Shanhe pushed forward, and behind him was the shadow of the third brother, Li Feng.

So, I have to deal with these two.

My goal now is simple: I can't hold back my anger; I have to fight back, even if it's my own father.

Therefore, before leaving Beijing, we must kill those who deserve to be killed and beat those who deserve to be beaten; we will not tolerate any of them.

Li Yuan snorted angrily.

"That's great! I absolutely love Your Highness's personality. Let's go get them!"

Yan Poshan was deeply moved and gave a thumbs up.

"Absolutely." Li Yuan raised an eyebrow.

"But how do we do it?" Yan Poshan scratched his head and asked in a low voice.

"It's simple. If you want to get rid of Zhao Shanhe, you have to get rid of Liu Guanjia first. If you want to get rid of Liu Guanjia, you have to get rid of his son first."

Li Yuan chuckled, his eyes gleaming with malice, and then he explained his thoughts to Yan Poshan.

Previously, as the crown prince, although he was a good-for-nothing, he was still the crown prince, so he knew a lot about the important officials, both openly and secretly.

Liu Guanjia was, of course, an important official in the court, and also belonged to the top tier of military generals, so he was bound to attract everyone's attention.

Therefore, Li Yuan knew a lot about him.

For example, Liu Guanjia had a son named Liu Kai, who was known as one of the Four Young Masters of Beijing.

Liu Kai is only sixteen years old this year, but he is arrogant, domineering, and incredibly powerful. He acts recklessly because of his father.

Despite his young age, this boy has a particular fondness for women. His favorite thing to do is to abduct respectable women in the street and even order his servants to surround them with bright red silk and humiliate them on the spot.

He was also known as the top marksman in the capital; by the time the silk curtains were drawn up on one side, the other side was almost finished.

By the time the patrol arrived, the kid was long gone, leaving behind men who used threats and money to smooth things over.

Furthermore, he was too fast to catch the criminals in the act, and the victims, fearing retaliation, never dared to speak out, even claiming it was just a joke when questioned by the constables. Besides, even if they occasionally obtained evidence, Liu Guanjia could easily resolve the matter by showing up. What ordinary person could possibly stand up to a high-ranking official, let alone a military general wielding power?

Therefore, this kid has become increasingly arrogant and has become a local tyrant in the capital!

"You mean Liu Kai, one of the Four Young Masters of the Capital?"

Yan Poshan's eyes lit up.

"You know him too?" Li Yuan turned to look at Yan Poshan.

"Not only do I know, but one of my best brothers had a sister who was sexually assaulted by him in the street. When my brother went to confront him, he was severely injured by military experts sent by Liu Guanjia and died at home."

Finally, his younger sister also hanged herself.

At this point, Yan Poshan couldn't continue, his throat tightening with emotion.

"If that's the case, then we'll settle this score with him properly tomorrow!"

Li Yuan raised an eyebrow, his eyes turning cold.

If possible, before leaving the capital, he wanted to settle all the scores he could, and vent all the anger he had been holding in.

Moreover, this is not just about settling accounts for himself, but also about standing up for Jiang Zhanyue.

Putting everything else aside, even considering the two thousand fine horses and two thousand sets of armor that Jiang Zhanyue sent, especially the fifty craftsmen, he had to return the favor and teach Liu Guanjia a lesson.

Moreover, he knew very well that Liu Guanjia was one of Li Feng's key strongholds in the capital, and that he was very likely to control the imperial guards around the capital in the future. If that were the case, he would only cause Jiang Zhanyue even more trouble.

Since that's the case, he certainly wouldn't mind getting rid of Liu Guanjia, making things difficult for Li Feng, turning him into a cripple in the capital, and ideally getting other princes involved in the competition for the position of Commander-in-Chief of the Capital Region, making the situation even more chaotic, and making his father, the emperor, even more upset. Wouldn't that be even better?

……

Li Feng had already woken up at Funing Garden.

But ever since he woke up, lying in bed, he just stared straight at the ceiling, not saying a word, his eyes filled with indescribable resentment.

"Your Highness, I know you hate Li Yuan to the bone and want to tear him to pieces."

"But a small act of impatience can ruin a great plan. In any case, Your Highness, please control your emotions and do not act rashly or impulsively now, otherwise, it will lead to unforeseen consequences!"

Zhao Shanhe sat by the bedside and sighed softly.

However, to his surprise, Li Feng laughed.

He spoke slowly, "Impulsive? How could I be impulsive? Li Yuan hit me, good for him! I don't hate him at all, I should thank him, hahaha!"

"Hmm?" Zhao Shanhe looked at Li Feng with surprise and uncertainty.

He wondered if the Third Prince had been driven somewhat mad by the King of Qin. Otherwise, why would he say such a thing?

"Prime Minister Zhao, you said Li Yuan beat up all three adult princes in the capital, including me, this sickly child, so badly. What will Father think now?"

Li Feng turned to look at Zhao Shanhe and asked.

A thoughtful look appeared in Zhao Shanhe's eyes.

"His Majesty must now be extremely disgusted with the Prince of Qin, especially since he has also transferred his past hatred for Liu Wei to him."

You could even say they hated him!

Zhao Shanhe said slowly.

"If I told you that my father would rather he never come back, or even die out there, would you believe me?"

Li Feng asked again.

"This..." Zhao Shanhe coughed lightly, without saying anything.

"If that's really what Father Emperor thinks, does that mean we can do whatever we want after he leaves the capital?"

Even if we were to kill him in a high-profile manner, as long as he denies having any connection with us, Father Emperor probably wouldn't even bother to investigate. He would simply make the decision, give him a grand funeral, and that would be the end of it.

Is this possible?

Li Feng asked again.
