Chapter 103 Showdown

After a while, while Fan You and Emperor Qing were still tasting tea, Eunuch Hou walked in with the crown prince and second prince.

Eunuch Hou: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Second Prince have arrived."

Then, the two knelt down to salute at the same time.

"My son, I have seen Your Majesty!"

When the two of them saw Fan You, they knew that this matter was not simple. The person sent out at this time had not returned, and the two of them had not received the news that Xie Bian was dismissed.

However, seeing Fan You sitting in front of Emperor Qing, the two of them could guess something without thinking.

When Emperor Qing saw the two people, he just glanced at them, and then asked Fan You: "Fan Tisi, you are here now, what should you do to calm the resentment in your heart, just open your mouth!"

Fan You didn't dare to say it directly, after all, it was the prince, and it was normal for Emperor Qing to punish them, but a commissioner opened his mouth to punish the two of them, if this matter got to someone's ears, he would just buckle it up for Fan You casually. A hat is enough for the Fan family to drink a pot.

Therefore, Fan You didn't dare to answer.

"Your Majesty, after all, the two are children of the royal family. Even if they made a mistake, it is up to His Majesty to decide how to punish them. Fan You is a commissioner, how dare you."

Emperor Qing said with an expression that you were meeting me: "This matter is indeed their fault. Fan Tesi, you can open your mouth. As long as you bring it up, I will promise you!"

Seeing Emperor Qing's appearance, Fan You said something casually.

"Really? Then, Your Majesty, how about changing to a prince?"

Fan You originally thought that Emperor Qing would be furious when he heard this, and reprimanded himself angrily, and reprimanded himself by the way, but Emperor Qing's performance really surprised Fan You.

The second prince, who was kneeling on the ground, wanted to speak when they heard this, but when they saw Emperor Qing's eyes, the thought of speaking disappeared instantly.

The prince continued to pretend to be reckless and said: "Bold Fan You! How dare you talk about me! You can kill me!"

Emperor Qing ignored Li Chengqian's words, instead he smiled and said, "Okay, Fan You, tell me, since this crown prince is not suitable to be the crown prince, who is suitable?"

"Don't call him the second child. Although he looks more easy-going than Chengqian, he is actually a little fox."

Fan You said indifferently: "It doesn't matter, since both of you can't do it, then train the third prince again."

"The crown prince has no virtue and incompetence, the second prince is too scheming, and the two of them have too small a mind."

"Our Qing country is the most powerful country in the world, but these two are inferior to the little emperor of Qi country in terms of ability and character. What's the use of keeping them? Re-training the third prince will give us even greater hope."

"What do you say, Your Majesty?"

Fan You didn't care what to say about this matter, what he said today was already outrageous enough, and it wasn't bad enough.

It's just that Fan You said this, and even the second prince panicked. Although he and the prince have joined forces now, and the two of them had already thought that Fan You would sue Emperor Qing, they even said that the two of them had already prepared to be imprisoned. The preparation for scolding is, at worst, a reprimand and some insignificant punishment.

However, Emperor Qing's current appearance was as if the two of them were not his own, but Fan You was his own.

His own son knelt here and asked an outsider to sit there and drink tea?Still discussing the character and ability of the two of them?

At this moment, the second prince really wanted to stand up and shout, how do you know how deep I am? !

Prince Li Chengqian was also completely panicked. He never imagined that Fan You would talk to Emperor Qing about abolishing the Crown Prince, let alone that Emperor Qing would agree, and he was really thinking about re-establishing the prince.

What really made the two princes fear and panic was not what Fan You said, but Emperor Qing's attitude.

Emperor Qing seemed to be really considering whether to abolish the crown prince.

If Emperor Qing really listened to Fan You's suggestion and abolished the crown prince, then Li Chengze's idea of ​​becoming the crown prince would be completely shattered.

The two have their own ghosts, but the enemy is the same.

Sitting there, Emperor Qing looked at Fan You, or at the two people kneeling on the ground.

Afterwards, Emperor Qing asked Fan You with a puzzled look.

"Fan Tesi, are the crown prince and the second child really that miserable?"

Fan You pouted.

"Your Majesty, it's just that bad, so the prince won't talk about it. The second prince is even worse in the class of bad deeds. He pretends to be a ghost all day long!"

"To tell you the truth, Your Majesty, in fact, from the first day I entered the capital, I knew who I was going to face. It wasn't someone from the Fan family, but the two kneeling here right now."

"Let's not talk about the Danzhou assassination, let's talk about the Poetry Club, and let's talk about the Zuixianju, and the Niulan Street assassination? Of course, in addition to these, there is one more thing I have to say, Lin Gong's death!"

"Si Gu Jian killed Lin Gong, why? It was nothing more than to avenge his two apprentices, which is understandable."

"It's just, how did the great master come all the way so quietly? The inspection institutes and guards from all over the country, including all the secret agents of the guard inspection institute in Kyoto, have not received any certain news that Sigu Jian is coming."

"Even I only found out the morning before, and Si Gu Jian came to the door of our Fan's house early the next morning."

"Your Majesty, Dongyi City is thousands of miles away from the capital. Even if Si Gu Jian is a grand master, he can't come here in a day or two, so someone must have informed him, and someone must have helped cover his whereabouts."

"I have already identified this person. He is a subordinate of Zhuge, who is in charge of the Inspection Institute. This person took advantage of the change of duties to steal the current documents, and the person behind the scenes is the Eldest Princess Li Yunrui!"

"Leaving aside the relationship between the crown prince and the eldest princess, there is one more thing. I originally gave it to His Majesty as a gift, but now it can only be regarded as bad news."

Emperor Qing asked: "Oh? Tell me."

Fan You's gaze suddenly turned to the second prince.

"Your Majesty, everyone thinks that the eldest princess Li Yunrui belongs to the prince's party, but in fact, the eldest princess and the second prince belong to the Ming family."

"Besides, everything the eldest princess does is for the second prince. Whether it's assassination, probing, or taking action against Fan Xian and me, there is only one purpose, and that is to make us brothers completely hate the prince!"

"At this time, the second prince extended a helping hand. The two of us brothers are grateful for Dade's support of the second prince. This is the plan of Li Yunrui and the second prince."

"It was only when I was in Prince Jing's mansion that I reminded the second prince not to provoke our two brothers. He didn't listen. That's why there was the assassination on Niulan Street."

"On the day of the Niulan Street assassination, apart from Sigu Jian's apprentice and the eighth-rank horizontal training master of the Northern Qi Dynasty, the whereabouts of the other two archers have not been found out, but not long ago! My spies at the border intercepted A secret report!"

"I won't go into the specifics, but roughly, Jin Yiwei of the Northern Qi Dynasty and the eldest princess teamed up to smuggle them through our Qing Kingdom's store in the inner warehouse of the Northern Qi Dynasty, and seek personal gain from it!"

"If it's just like this, Fan You really wouldn't say such a small thing at this time, but just used a pen to smuggle the money, and after investigation, it all fell into the hands of the largest family in the Qing Kingdom, the Ming family!"

"Smuggling for such a long time has made a lot of profits. The money is enough to nourish a battalion of private soldiers! Moreover, the weapons and equipment are the best ones. At a critical moment, they are enough to cause chaos in the Qing Dynasty. This is the bad news that Fan You sent to His Majesty. .”

After hearing this, Emperor Qing suddenly laughed out loud.

"Hahaha, okay, okay, Fan You, you really sent me bad news, Cheng Ze, come here, is what Fan You said true?"

When Li Chengze just listened to Fan You's words, his heart started to speed up. By the time Fan You finished speaking, Li Chengze had completely collapsed. He had never told anyone about these things!
Except for the two of them, no one in this world knew about Li Yunrui and him. How did Fan You know about it? !There is also the matter of smuggling. Li Yunrui is solely responsible for this matter. He has never been in charge of it. How will Fan You know about it?What is the so-called border secret report? It's even more nonsense!
At this time, it is during the truce period between the two countries, and all smuggling business has stopped, so how could there be secret reports?

But, if Fan You was his own guess, how could he be so accurate?Almost all the speculation is correct, there is just no evidence.

Li Chengze forcibly stabilized his emotions and breathing, not showing any flaws.

"Report to Your Majesty! Fan You is framing! He is framing his ministers for treason!"

Regardless of other things, Li Chengze first blamed him, saying that Fan You had framed him for treason, trying to take the initiative.

However, Emperor Qing only had Fan You in his eyes at this time, not their brothers at all.

Emperor Qing looked at Eunuch Hou: "Go, call the eldest princess here. Today was just to give Fan You justice, but I didn't expect such a big harvest. Fan You, I should thank you."

"But! You are also wrong. I'm afraid you have known these news for a long time, but you haven't said them all this time. The reason is to put the two of them in this situation today, right?"

Emperor Qing was very calm. He knew very well what Fan You's purpose was to abolish Li Chengqian and at the same time make Li Chengze never be able to become the heir apparent.

For the second purpose, Fan You even called out his last hole cards, Ming Jia, Li Yunrui, and Li Chengze.

Especially the relationship between Li Chengze and Li Yunrui, no one could have imagined that a person who was clearly on the prince's side turned out to be the second prince's person.

Li Chengqian, who was kneeling on the ground, was completely taken aback. Although he knew that his second brother was not simple, and that Li Yunrui had colluded with his second brother, he never thought that the two of them were from the same family, and they even secretly smuggled for profit!
In addition, the two mysterious archers who were assassinated on Niulan Street before have not been able to find their provenance and identity, and even the weapons cannot be traced.

But, after what Fan You said, everything made sense.

Why did Lin Gong plan the assassination on Niulan Street, and how Lin Gong was able to make a ninth-rank, an eighth-rank, and two seventh-rank shots at the same time.

Now the answer is obvious, it is the second prince and the eldest princess, and the Ming family behind the eldest princess!

Eunuch Hou: "Yes, Your Majesty."

Eunuch Hou just stood aside, listening to the conversation of several people, his legs were so frightened that his legs went limp, and he wished he could run away immediately.

But Emperor Qing didn't speak, how could he dare to leave?

Eunuch Hou has stayed in the palace for so many years, and he always remembers one sentence, that is, listen less, talk less, and watch less!
But now, he shouldn't have listened to it, and he shouldn't have seen it. I'm afraid he won't live for a few days after this incident.

After walking out of the palace, Eunuch Hou couldn't help urinating, but he didn't have time to take care of these things at this time, so he went to inform the eldest princess immediately, this is a big deal!
After Eunuch Hou went out, Emperor Qing looked at Li Chengqian and said, "You've been pretending to be crazy for so many years, but you really didn't realize that Li Yunrui and the second child are in the same group?"

When Li Chengqian heard this, his heart suddenly became cold!
"Children. Sons"

Li Chengqian didn't know how to answer. If the answer was yes, then his reputation as a bully was solid.

But if you continue to pretend, I'm afraid it's impossible.

Emperor Qing looked at Li Chengqian who was hesitating and unable to say a whole sentence, and snorted angrily.

"Hmph! I thought you've been pretending to be crazy for so many years, and you've hidden a lot of skills, but in the end, you still look like this!"

"Although the second child is wrong and not good, he is better than you. Do you know that it's funny that you pretend to be crazy? You think you have deceived everyone, but you are the one who deceived you from the beginning to the end. yourself!"

"I don't believe that you are an illiterate and reckless person, and the second child doesn't think so either. You can't even fool your enemies, but you are only fooling yourself. What's the use?!"

"In the end, even if you sit on the position of the crown prince, what can you do?! With one word, I can destroy you immediately!"

Li Chengqian quickly admitted his mistake.

"My son knows it's wrong!"

Emperor Qing immediately turned around and said to Li Chengze: "And you! You do those tricks all day long, do you really think I don't know?!"

"I have seen the struggle between you two brothers. I have also been a prince. I know that there are some things that should be done and some things that should not be done, but what you two have done is too much!"

Emperor Qing almost finished the last sentence with a roar. After saying this, Emperor Qing looked at the two people in great disappointment.

Looking at his two sons, Emperor Qing suddenly thought of Fan You and Fan Xian for some reason. These two were also brothers, but they were able to make sacrifices for each other.

It's not like my two sons, who fight over a little thing!
The fights openly and secretly are not over, and the fights in private are even more exhausting!

Emperor Qing was very disappointed, very disappointed!
Emperor Qing: "Forget it, Fan You, I have already agreed to Fan Tisi today, and I will agree to all the requests he said."

"The crown prince, you two don't have to think about it from now on, unless I die, you two will never be able to become the crown prince!"
