"Your identity needs to be kept secret for a while, so for now, you'll take the surname Jing and be called Jing Wuming."
Teng Zijing is obviously dead, so a false name must be used.
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
Wang Qinian patted Teng Zijing on the shoulder, looking like a senior.
“Your Highness, Commander Jing comes from the Surveillance Bureau, so it won’t be easy for him to regain his identity.”
Li Chang'an casually said, "What's so difficult about it? Just wipe out the Surveillance Bureau."
Wang Qinian immediately shrank back. The world's strongest intelligence agency and the Qing Kingdom's number one power organ seemed to be nothing in His Highness's eyes!
After everyone dispersed, Haitang Duoduo raised an eyebrow and said, "Li Chang'an, you really want to rebel?"
Li Chang'an shrugged and said, "I said, we'll start by rebelling against Qi. Just wait and see."
a few days later.
Southern Qing capital city.
Chen Pingping entered the imperial study carrying the memorial, exclaiming, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, it's done!"
Emperor Qing immediately dismissed his attendants and hurriedly picked up Chen Pingping's memorial to read it.
In the original drama, Fan Xian met with Xiao En alone, so only Fan Xian himself knew whether the plan succeeded or not.
But now, because of the appearance of the shadow, Chen Pingping knows that the plan has been completely successful and Sean has confessed everything.
In his memorial to Emperor Qing, he recounted everything Fan Xian had experienced, including how he fell off the cliff and gained Xiao En's trust.
As for the matter of the shadow protecting him, it was all Chen Pingping's own decision, so of course he wouldn't mention it.
Shadow also told Fan Xian at the border that he should keep the matter of protecting him a secret.
After reading the memorial, Emperor Qing let out a long sigh of relief, "It's been almost twenty years, and we've finally pried Sean's mouth open!"
Chen Pingping continued, "Fan Xian is a brave, resourceful, and quick-witted boy; he is capable of great things."
"However, Sean's secret is too important. This old minister thinks it would be more appropriate to wait for Fan Xian to return and report to him in person rather than sending a message by carrier pigeon!"
Emperor Qing paced back and forth in the room anxiously, "I originally thought that Fan Xian would only be able to handle this matter after arriving in Northern Qi, but I didn't expect him to accomplish it halfway through."
"Fan Xian absolutely cannot get into trouble. Make him turn back immediately, and there's no need to replace Yan Bingyun!"
Chen Pingping felt a chill run down his spine. His twenty-year plan had come to fruition, and Yan Bingyun was no longer of any importance.
"Your Majesty, intelligence is always delayed. Fan Xian may have already entered Wushui Pass."
Emperor Qing thought for a moment and then said, "All border troops should advance thirty li to put pressure on Northern Qi. If anything happens to Fan Xian, we will immediately launch a full-scale attack on Qi!"
Since Li Chang'an completed the divine invocation, Nanqing believed that it had accepted the mandate of heaven to unify the world, and it no longer needed to find any excuse to attack Qi.
Emperor Qing continued, "Send Shadow to infiltrate Northern Qi and have him protect Fan Xian closely. There can be no mistakes!"
Chen Pingping had originally planned to do the same, after all, he also wanted to know the origin of Ye Qingmei and the secrets of the temple.
Kuhe is not in the capital, and even if Yingzi went to the capital, she would not be easily discovered.
The Northern Qi Dynasty went to the capital.
The Empress Dowager and the young Emperor also received news of Sean's death.
"Mother, it's better that Sean is dead. If he had come back alive, Shangshan Hu would have been even more powerful."
"It's a pity that the secret Mother spoke of may have to remain buried underground forever."
The Empress Dowager said helplessly, "Wolf Peach and Begonia, you still have to listen to your uncle in this matter."
"The Imperial Uncle is a Grandmaster and a true pillar of the Zhan family. Without him, my daughter and I would not be able to stabilize the court."
Zhan Doudou understood this principle, of course. "Without Master Kuhe, Nanqing's Northern Expedition could not always have ended so halfway."
"Since the emergence of grandmasters in this world, they have been the foundation upon which each nation stands."
"Recently, the Western Qin Kingdom has been experiencing frequent missile ricochets, and there have been several skirmishes on the border."
"Your Majesty, I truly cannot understand why they are so arrogant when they lack even a Grandmaster!"
The Empress Dowager looked at the map on the table and sighed slightly. "In two months, once the Imperial Uncle has fully recovered, I will go and ask him to kill all the members of the Western Qin royal family."
"Both Western Qin and Great Qi originated from Great Wei. They lacked Grandmasters and could only serve as our vassal states. Now, it won't be so easy for them to turn things around!"
The military pressure from the Northern Qi and Southern Qing directions was already considerable, and now there are also rebellions from vassal states in the west, which is indeed quite overwhelming.
With Ku He severely injured, this is the perfect opportunity for Western Qin to expand its power. Li Chang'an has already ordered Zhao Gao to carry out a major operation against Zhan Doudou and her mother in the near future.
The Northern Qi was already weak, but because Zhan Doudou and her mother wanted to consolidate power, capable ministers Shen Zhong and Shang Shanhu became thorns in their side.
Even if Emperor Qing were incompetent, if he were in Northern Qi, he would still have no problem winning over these two capable ministers.
Therefore, Li Chang'an always felt that the Northern Qi dynasty had seized power illegitimately and could not tolerate loyal ministers.
Because of the illegitimacy of Zhan Doudou and her mother's occupation of the throne, they fear any power that they cannot subdue, which is why they are wary of Shangshan Hu and Shen Zhong.
There have indeed been outstanding empresses, but these two are definitely not.
Therefore, in Li Chang'an's plan, Zhan Doudou should take off her dragon robe and obediently enter the harem to enjoy her happiness.
The Great Qi Kingdom would probably collapse in an instant without Ku He!
I can manage three chapters a day for now, but I can never seem to write three chapters by midnight. I will try my best to get back to writing three chapters at a time!
Chapter 111 Do you know, do you know, it should be green leaves and red flowers? (23)
Wushui Pass was an important border town of the Northern Qi Dynasty.
Li Chang'an's trip was a private one and did not represent the Qing Kingdom.
However, Li Chang'an still met Shen Zhong, and not only was Shen Zhong there, but he was also greeted with a grand welcome.
Name: Shen Zhong
Age: 40 years old
Realm: Upper Eighth Rank
Talents: Intelligence (Rank 8), Martial Arts (Rank 6)
Abilities: Espionage (Rank 9), Political Maneuvering (Rank 6), Politics (Rank 6)
Emotion: 0
Shen Zhong was an important minister of the Northern Qi Dynasty. He was loyal to the Qi state but not to the Empress Dowager and the young emperor. In the end, he was still dissatisfied.
Back when he served under the founding emperor Zhan Qingfeng, he would never have dared to be as arrogant as he is now.
"Shen Zhong, Commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, pays his respects to His Highness Prince Yong."
Li Chang'an was dressed in fine clothes, but not in a python robe. "What is Lord Shen doing here? I am only here to attend the poetry gathering, and it has nothing to do with state affairs."
Shen Zhong smiled honestly, "Your Highness is joking. Your Highness's poems and writings are renowned throughout the world."
Wherever you go, you represent the Qing Kingdom.
Behind him, a procession of hundreds of people played music and danced, creating a lively scene.
Li Chang'an knew, of course, that Shen Zhong had ill intentions. "The delegation will arrive in two days. They are the ones representing the Qing Kingdom. Lord Shen, please don't get it wrong."
Shen Zhong said dismissively, "Fan Xian is just a nobody."
I don't know what methods he used to seize such a high position.
"How could he possibly represent the Qing Kingdom?"
This means that Li Chang'an's prestige is even higher than that of the delegation, and wherever Li Chang'an goes, he can represent the Qing Kingdom.
This tactic of sowing discord might have worked in Northern Qi, but it was of little use to Emperor Qing and was rather pointless.
Shen Zhong continued, "Your Highness, the pass ahead has been flooded today, and the road is impassable."
"I have already gathered craftsmen to repair it, and it is estimated that it will take one or two days. I would appreciate it if Your Highness could rest at Wushui Pass for two days."
Shen Zhong went to great lengths to bring Li Chang'an and the Qing Kingdom delegation together.
As the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, how could he not know that Fan Xian was a rising star under Emperor Qing?
Fan Xian even attended the family banquet before his departure.
Shen Zhong, or rather the Empress Dowager of Northern Qi, likely used the tactic of instigating conflict between Fan Xian and Li Chang'an.
Since reaching the level of a half-step Grandmaster, Li Chang'an has been able to fight against even a Grandmaster, and he is not afraid of these methods at all.
Now that he possesses formidable strength, Li Chang'an is not only secretly developing his power, but also enjoying watching these people perform like monkeys.
Li Chang'an could remain unmoved by the schemes and plots of the Northern Qi, remaining calm and unperturbed.
"Very well, I will wait here for two days."
Two days later, the Nanqing delegation's convoy finally arrived near Wushui Pass.
Upon seeing the flags and ceremonial guards of Wushui Pass, Gao Da excitedly shouted, "My lord!"
"The Northern Qi's etiquette is truly impeccable. Look at the welcoming procession; there are at least several hundred people!"
Fan Xian leaned out of the carriage window and saw the welcoming procession with its banners waving.
