Chapter 504: There are really too many great masters
Emperor Qing has been doing some mental construction since the night of bloodshed in Taiping Villa. After all, it was his deliberate indulgence that led to Ye Qingmei's death.
Although Emperor Qing never admitted it, deep down in his heart, he still felt a little guilty. After all, that was the person he liked.
It’s just that he is an emperor, so what if you like him!
Now that Ye Qingmei was proclaimed emperor, Emperor Qing seemed to have found a reason, but he was filled with endless anger because the financial power of one of his right-hand men, the inner treasury, was about to be cut off by Ye Qingmei.
Emperor Qing had not calmed down the anger in his heart, but something happened that made him even more furious.
Eunuch Hou suppressed the panic in his heart and walked into the palace cautiously. He hesitated at the door, not knowing how to speak.
Emperor Qing sensed someone approaching and had a bad premonition. But he was deep in thought, so he suppressed his anger and asked in a deep voice, "What's the matter?"
Eunuch Hou glanced at Emperor Qing and found nothing wrong. Then he quickly said the news he had just received, "The news just came from the workshop in the inner treasury. I didn't dare to delay and sent it over."
At this time, Emperor Qing's heart skipped a beat when he heard the news that it was from the inner treasury. After all, he was still thinking about Ye Qingmei just now. But he still forcefully calmly took the secret book from Eunuch Hou, but he just read it
After just one glance, he could no longer control his emotions, and threw the fold to the ground angrily, shouting angrily, "Call Chen Pingping!"
Eunuch Hou didn't dare to say anything. He bowed and walked out quickly.
In fact, Eunuch Hou knew what was going on in the inner treasury. After all, he had his own way. However, in order to save his life at this time, he could only pretend not to know.
Chen Pingping also received the news almost at the same time that Emperor Qing read the secret book, so when he saw Emperor Qing, his expression was very calm.
Emperor Qing looked at Chen Pingping's expressionless face and couldn't tell what Chen Pingping was thinking, so he asked sullenly, "The inner warehouse workshop was destroyed overnight, and all the skilled craftsmen died overnight. How do you do this?"
look?"
Chen Pingping had been mentally prepared for a long time. He said immediately without hesitation, "According to the current clues, it is the Northern Qi Jinyiwei who did it."
Emperor Qing stared at Chen Pingping for a long time, without seeing any emotion in Chen Pingping's eyes. Then he turned around, and his eyes became a little sinister from an angle that Chen Pingping couldn't see. What he said again,
The voice sounded like it had crawled out of hell, with a hint of chill in it, "Jinyiwei has such a big power in Kyoto? What does your inspection agency do for a living!"
Chen Pingping looked up at Emperor Qing's back, knowing that if he continued to insist on what he just said, he would definitely not be able to get out of the palace. He thought of Wang Yue's unfettered actions that day, and there was no need for him to protect Ye Qingmei, so he had a flash of inspiration and said word by word
, "There are various signs that it was the Northern Qi Jinyiwei who did it, but they did not obey the orders of the heavyweights. This time it was Sean's handiwork!"
Emperor Qing suddenly turned back and looked at Chen Pingping, his eyes seemed to be cannibalistic, and he shouted angrily, "Shawn has just been sent to Zhongdu (the capital of Ye Qingmei's country), how could he have so much power."
Seeing Emperor Qing being so angry, Chen Pingping felt relieved. Despite the pressure from Emperor Qing, his expression remained unchanged and he said word by word, "Shawn wants to gain a foothold in Dahan (the name of Ye Qingmei's country).
You need to apply for a certificate to show your strength. Jinyiwei was originally developed from the Secret Disk Organization of the Northern Wei Dynasty. Although there are many old people in it who have been excluded, many are still alive. Their allegiance is always to Sean."
When Emperor Qing saw the destruction of the Neiku Workshop, he subconsciously thought of Chen Pingping. After all, only Chen Pingping had the ability to do things silently in Kyoto. However, after Chen Pingping reminded him, he thought of the terrifying Xiao Xiao now serving the big man. This is really true.
That's possible.
Thinking of this, Emperor Qing looked at Chen Pingping with a softer look. He thought for a moment and then asked, "What should we do next? Can the workshop be reopened?"
Chen Pingping shook her head and said without any hesitation, "I don't know much about this, but I guess it depends on how much the surviving craftsmen learned from the original masters of the workshop."
Emperor Qing thought that the inner treasury had always been in the hands of the eldest princess and Chen Pingping had never had to interfere, so he nodded and said, "Go down and keep an eye on Han Zhongdu to see if they have any next move."
Chen Pingping lowered her head and said calmly, "Yes!"
After Chen Pingping left, Emperor Qing walked back and forth in the palace for a few more steps, and then asked Eunuch Hou to call the prince over.
...
When Chen Pingping returned to the inspection institute, Fan Xian was already waiting there. He took the initiative to push Chen Pingping's wheelchair and asked solemnly, "Uncle Chen, what happened?"
After Chen Pingping walked to his separate yard, she said calmly, "The workshop in Neiku was reduced to nothing overnight, and all the skilled craftsmen were silenced."
Fan Xian took a breath. He thought it might have been my mother who did it, but he didn't think it was. If my mother was so cruel, she wouldn't have been tricked into pretending to die. So he asked doubtfully, "Who did it?"
? Isn’t this killing the chicken and destroying the egg?”
Seeing that Fan Xian really didn't know, Chen Pingping smiled helplessly. He also felt that if the young lady was really so cruel, she wouldn't hide in Beiqi.
Yes, the Inspection Institute has long known about the Bamboo Records that appeared in the Northern Qi Dynasty. Although the inner warehouses of the items they handle are different, the Wuzhu and Zhuwei Bamboo Records are really obvious.
Chen Pingping knew that it was Wuzhu's property, but he didn't know about Ye Qingmei. He thought it was Wuzhu's back-up for Fan Xian.
It’s just that Ye Qingmei is still alive now, and the bamboo note is the clue left by Ye Qingmei deliberately, that is, the trust in Chen Pingping. Thinking of this, he subconsciously touched the handle of the wheelchair, and his heart felt warm without realizing it.
laughed out loud.
It took Chen Pingping a while before she came back to her senses. He looked at Fan Xian, whose eyes clearly showed disapproval. Knowing that the child was still too kind, he smiled and said, "It's Sean and Jin Yiwei!"
Fan Xian was stunned for a moment, his eyes widened, and he asked in disbelief, "Shawn is in Zhongdu, can the Jin Yiwei listen to him? Can he do that?"
Chen Pingping sighed, this child needs to be taught slowly, and he said very calmly, "The Jin Yiwei was divided into two, one part moved to Zhongdu with his family, and the other part is still in Beiqi."
Fan Xian was frightened when he heard this. He asked worriedly, "My mother and the others are just using Sean like this. Aren't they afraid of his backlash?"
Chen Pingping shook her head and looked at Fan Xian with a smile, and said nonchalantly, "Your brother Wang is a strange man. Maybe he has some special means. According to the news that has been sent back, after Jin Yiwei arrived in Zhongdu, all of them were very well-behaved.
Shun, like a flock of little sheep."
Fan Xian thought of the life and death talisman in Tianlong and immediately felt relieved. He smiled and said, "Then there is no need to worry about my mother. With Sean here, the information will definitely be better informed and nothing will go wrong."
Chen Pingping looked at Fan Xian's relaxed look and asked with some uncertainty, "The internal treasury is of no use. Are you ready for the inspection institute?"
Seeing that Chen Pingping seemed to be retiring, Fan Xian asked doubtfully, "Uncle Chen, let's not talk about the internal treasury matter, but are you planning to retire? I can't live without you!"
Chen Pingping took advantage of Fan Xian's coquettishness, so she smiled and explained, "That kid Yan Bingyun has a good strategy. I feel relieved to have him as your deputy."
Fan Xian didn't understand why Chen Pingping suddenly wanted to do this, so he asked worriedly, "Uncle Chen, why?"
Chen Pingping did not explain to Fan Xian. He just asked suddenly before leaving, "Miss, is she okay?"
After hearing this, Fan Xian smiled shyly, and said easily, "My mother is as beautiful as a flower, and she is eighteen years old."
Chen Pingping was stunned for a moment and then started to laugh, thinking that the woman who always called herself my mother would probably never talk about me again after she became a mother. She would definitely get angry with anyone who told her that she was a mother.
.
...
After a few months of things being so depressing, news suddenly came out in Qingguo that Chen Pingping had resigned from the position of director of the inspection institute, and Fan Xian had taken over, with Yan Bingyun as the chief secretary.
At the same time, Emperor Qing also issued an imperial edict and was preparing to go to Dadong Mountain to offer sacrifices to heaven. He also wanted to bring the Black Cavalry and Tiger Guard of the Inspection and Examination Institute with him.
For a time, the continent was in turmoil, and all the countries in the world were paying attention to Emperor Qing's brainless action.
Ye Qingmei looked at the message sent by Sean and asked doubtfully, "What does Emperor Qing mean?"
Wang Yue knew that Emperor Qing was preparing to use his body as bait to fish, and he estimated that Ye Liuyun would also take action, but it was none of their business. He saw that Ye Qingmei was a little worried, so he smiled and comforted him, "Don't worry about this.
, we’d better develop the Han Dynasty. Now that the workshops in Zhongdu are ready to start production, you can prepare to become the richest in the world again."
Ye Qingmei waved her hand and said nonchalantly, "What else can I do with more money?"
Wang Yue found that Ye Qingmei didn't seem to be happy when she became the queen. Knowing that she was confused, he smiled and said, "When you established the inspection institute, didn't you want everyone to be equal? In this country, why?
Why don’t you show off your fists quickly?”
Ye Qingmei shook her head and said helplessly, "That is just an ideal state. When I did this in Qing Kingdom, it made the nobles angry and the people fearful. There is no basis for equality for everyone."
Wang Yue saw that Ye Qingmei was so cautious in being the queen, and said nonchalantly, "It's just a small country. You can just play around. If it doesn't work, we will go back to my Peach Blossom Island to live in seclusion, or go back to the temple to live forever."
Ye Qingmei felt that what Wang Yue said made sense. She only wanted revenge and didn't really care about the throne. Now that the trap had been laid, she nodded and started to make arrangements.
After several days of deliberation, Ye Qingmei promulgated a series of decrees. If they are all implemented, it is really possible to make everyone in the big Han country equal. She even promoted the free opening of libraries in the city and the state-owned enterprises.
The village also provided many jobs, allowing poor families in the city to make money, and reforms were also implemented in the land outside the city.
A series of actions in Zhongdu attracted many poor people from Northern Qi and Nanqing to settle there with their families. This newly established capital was also booming. The cities in Zhongzhou were constantly filling with population, and there was a vague prospect of prosperity.
omen.
The basis of all this is the items produced in the original industrial zone of Zhongdu, which were continuously transported to every corner of the mainland through Northern Qi, providing a huge amount of funds.
...
Before Emperor Qing went to Dadong Mountain, he asked the Queen Mother of Qing to supervise the country. He led the Black Cavalry of the Tiger Guard all the way east. Looking at the target, it seemed that it was indeed Dadong Mountain.
Emperor Qing walked in such a swagger, and it stands to reason that assassinations should continue. However, what is very strange is that it was not until Emperor Qing's guards arrived in Danzhou that assassins from Dongyi City finally began to attack the people accompanying Emperor Qing.
On this day, Ye Qingmei came to Wang Yue's palace and said solemnly, "Just now, there was news from Sean that Ku He and Si Gu Jian have left their original residences. It is said that they are preparing to go to Dadong Mountain and even wander around Dingzhou.
Ye Liuyun has also disappeared."
Wang Yue scratched his head. He felt that his life and death talisman did not seem to be able to hold Xiao En, so he rubbed his chin and asked doubtfully, "What Xiao Xiao means is that these three great masters are going to Dadong Mountain to intercept Emperor Qing?"
Ye Qingmei frowned and said suspiciously, "That's what he said, but I think this news is too easy. Then will there be no news from the Inspection Institute?"
Wang Yue thought for a moment and laughed involuntarily. After a while, he said boldly, "Who is the hunter? Let's see what my choice is."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! When Ye Qingmei heard what Wang Yue said, she immediately understood that this matter was not simple, so she asked straightforwardly, "What do you mean, this is Emperor Qing's
conspiracy?"
Wang Yue nodded and explained patiently, "Fan Jian hinted to me at the beginning that Ye Liuyun was a member of Emperor Qing. Who do you think is the unluckiest guy in Dadongshan this time?"
Ye Qingmei thought for a while, then chuckled and said, "This is really Emperor Qing's handiwork, but we still have to stand still and reap the benefits."
Wang Yue nodded and said with a smile, "I feel that Ku He and Si Gu Jian will be unlucky this time. After all, if Ye Liuyun makes a sneak attack, the original two against two will become two against one and a half."
Ye Qingmei didn't quite understand what was going on here, so she simply asked directly, "What should we do?"
Wang Yue felt that such an obvious thing was probably a smoke bomb. She smiled and said, "If the Grand Master fights, he still has time to escape. If a battle really breaks out in Dadong Mountain, this fight will be huge."
The probability is that Ku He Si Gu Jian is seriously injured, but Emperor Qing and Ye Liuyun don't want to take it easy. However, I always feel that it is possible that the other party is planning to plot against us."
Ye Qingmei stood up after hearing what Wang Yue said. She quickly said, "If this is true, there are four great masters. We are really no match. Otherwise, let's go to your Peach Blossom Island."
Wang Yue waved his hand and said nonchalantly, "No, I have a plan. Here is our trap, plus Wuzhu and Qiqi, plus your sniper rifle. If Emperor Qing and Ye Liuyun come, you can at least
Kill one!"
Ye Qingmei asked worriedly, "But can you beat Si Gu Jian and Ku He by yourself?"
Wang Yue reached out and brushed away Ye Qingmei's frown, and said calmly, "If you can't beat me, you can still run away!"
Ye Qingmei felt relieved after hearing what Wang Yue said. She asked doubtfully, "Are you going to intercept Ku He and Si Gu Jian? But their location is hard to find."
Wang Yue shook his head and said with a smile, "I'm going to Northern Qi to go to Beijing to stabilize Zhan Doudou. Even if you can't kill Ye Liuyun and Emperor Qing, you can still beat them so that they can hide and recuperate. When the time comes, whether we attack Kyoto or not,
It is a good choice to sit back and watch the civil strife in Nanqing. Zhan Doudou will definitely be happy to see this scene. Ku He and Si Gu Jian will definitely intercept me when they see me leaving Zhongdu, but will not come to Zhongdu.
, they are also afraid that if I go crazy, I will destroy the Northern Qi royal family or the Dongyi Jianlu."
Ye Qingmei nodded. She knew what Wang Yue said made sense, so she breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "Forget it about entering Kyoto. If Fan Jian and Chen Pingping are gone, I can put down my burden, but now
, there is still some affection.”
Wang Yue knew that Ye Qingmei was very emotional, so he didn't dwell too much on this issue, and said casually, "It's up to you to decide. If Emperor Qing and Ye Liuyun really come, wait until you kill them."
Meet me from the north."
Ye Qingmei frowned and asked in surprise, "Do you want to kill Ku He and Si Gu Jian?"
Wang Yue said very calmly, "I didn't want to, but if they really plot against us this time, I won't let it go. The Grand Master is really too much."
