Chapter 132 [Empress]

Who in the entire Qing Kingdom doesn't know Li Chengqian's murderous intention?
Officials in Jiangnan were almost massacred.

Heads rolling in.

Seeing him draw his sword, many people's hearts trembled.

Is this killer going to massacre Kyoto?

Thinking of this possibility, everyone shut up.

"Go back to the palace!"

Li Chengqian sheathed his sword, and no one dared to say another word.

Haitang Duoduo looked at Li Chengqian's back and was stunned for a moment.

She didn't expect that Li Chengqian was so strong.

Moreover, just one man and one sword frightened all the civil and military officials so much that they dared not say a word.

Domineering!

Along with that, I couldn’t help but feel relieved.

At least, she doesn't have to suffer those tortures.

Who wants to be uncomfortable when you can lie down comfortably?

It was rumored in the Northern Qi Dynasty that the Crown Prince of Qing was dissolute, lascivious, weak and incompetent, and greedy for pleasure.

Now that she has come into contact with him, she has discovered that this is not the case at all.

"Sure enough, rumors are misleading!"

As she was thinking this, she saw Li Chengqian turned around and looked at her.

Afterwards, Haitang Duoduo was taken to the East Palace.

Civil and military officials could only watch their "merits" fade away.

It seems impossible to snatch people from Li Chengqian.

They didn't have the confidence to try out whether the knife of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was sharp.

After all, there is a saying that goes, officials are all afraid of death.

Compared with ordinary people, officials are actually more afraid of death.

There are not many tough guys!

There is absolutely no falsehood in this statement.

After returning to the East Palace, Li Chengqian washed and bathed, dressed neatly, and then went to the imperial study.

"Father!"

Li Chengqian bowed slightly.

Emperor Qing was half lying on the couch. When he saw him come in, he put down the memorial in his hand and stood up.

He walked up to him, patted his shoulder, and praised:

"Well done!"

"Tell me, what reward do you want?"

Emperor Qing asked.

Li Chengqian had already thought about this problem before he returned to Beijing.

However, I found that there seemed to be nothing more to appreciate.

Because Li Chengqian was almost reaching the peak in terms of status and power.

There is nothing left to admire.

If we go on, there will only be the throne.

"To win glory for the country, not to seek rewards!" Li Chengqian replied.

Emperor Qing nodded, "In that case, I will reward you with a crown princess. How about choosing a date to get married?"

Hearing this, Li Chengqian was stunned for a moment.

Crown Princess?
Getting married?

with who?

"Don't you like Haitang Duoduo? Now that she's been captured, why don't you choose a date to get married?"

Emperor Qing saw through his doubts at a glance and answered them.

Let Haitang Duoduo be the Crown Princess?
Li Chengqian thought to himself that Emperor Qing would definitely like to see this.

In this way, the relationship between the North and the South may change.

Or, what does Emperor Qing want to do with this incident?
Countless thoughts flashed through Li Chengqian's mind.

On the surface, it only takes a breath.

"Speaking of the Crown Princess, I have a best candidate in mind," said Li Chengqian.

"Who? Tell me, as long as I can do it, I can grant you an imperial decree to fulfill your wish."

Emperor Qing smiled.

"The Little Emperor of Northern Qi."

Li Chengqian bowed slightly and gave an answer that shocked Emperor Qing.

This answer indeed made Emperor Qing silent for a long time.

Because, as powerful as he is, he was really shocked by the answer.

The Grand Master's defense even seemed to be unable to hold up for a moment.

Moreover, as the king of a country, Emperor Qing stared at Li Chengqian, and his expression was somewhat gloomy at this moment.

Finally, he seemed to digest the news, turned around, sat down, and drank a sip of candied fruit.

The sweet taste in his mouth stimulated his taste buds and made him more sober.

So, I asked, "Do you like men?"

WTF!

Li Chengqian's eyes widened.

Immediately, he reacted quickly.

Emperor Qing had the wrong idea. However, he had managed not to beat him up just now.

It’s really difficult for Emperor Qing!

"Father, the little emperor of Northern Qi is actually a woman," Li Chengqian explained.

This kind of thing should be done sooner rather than later.

After all, what people are best at is to imagine everything.

If it was a little later, Emperor Qing might have already imagined himself in outer space.

"Empress? How is that possible!"

Upon hearing this, Emperor Qing was greatly shocked.

He didn't even know this news.

How did Li Chengqian know?
Suddenly, he thought of someone.

Begonia blossoming!

Along the way, Li Chengqian might have interrogated him.

So, it’s not surprising to learn this answer.

Emperor Qing was thinking about how to figure out the key.

He was wondering if this news, if announced to the world, would cause unrest in Northern Qi...

After all, if a woman becomes an emperor, it will definitely cause dissatisfaction among many people.

This is also the reason why the little emperor dressed as a man.

"Do you like her?" Emperor Qing asked.

Without waiting for Li Chengqian to answer, he asked another question:
"You want her to be the Crown Princess?"

The meaning of this statement is self-evident.

She was an empress and the ruler of a country, and she wanted to marry him as his crown princess.

Unless... we destroy Northern Qi and unify the world.

In this way, in order to appease the people of Northern Qi, the young emperor was married as the Crown Princess.

That is the future country.

Only in this way can we act quickly and stabilize the hearts of the people.

This is a great idea!
There was a look of approval in Emperor Qing's eyes.

"Okay, I approve!" Emperor Qing laughed.

Unifying the world has always been his lifelong ambition.

Now that Li Chengqian also has such ambition, he is very happy.

I am also very relieved.

"In this case, there is no need to rush the selection of the Crown Princess. Let's wait until we conquer Northern Qi." Emperor Qing made the decision with a wave of his hand.

He looked up at Li Chengqian and said, "Tell me what you think about unifying the world."

"Father must have a plan in mind." Li Chengqian kicked the ball back.

Emperor Qing smiled.

He did have a plan.

However, there is only a 10% to 20% chance of success.

Now, he has 80%!

"I have decided to send you to lead the three armies to attack Northern Qi. What do you think?"

Emperor Qing stood up and handed him a cup of candied fruit.

The two looked at each other.

Throughout history, the prince and the emperor have been not only father and son, ruler and subject, but also rivals.

The relationship is complicated.

At this moment, Emperor Qing's words could be said to have revealed all the biggest contradictions between them.

Don't hit people in the face, and don't open old scars when hurting people.

However, Emperor Qing insisted on going in the forbidden direction.

It is a big taboo for the crown prince to be in charge of the army.

Now, he also wants Li Chengqian to be the commander-in-chief of the three armies.

This is the biggest taboo in the emperor's mind.

After all, in this way, if Li Chengqian wanted to rebel, it would be easy.

As their eyes met, the atmosphere in the imperial study suddenly froze.

Li Chengqian took the cup of candied fruit and drank it all in one gulp.

"My son, I obey!"

"Hahaha……"

Emperor Qing suddenly laughed.

He also drank the candied fruit in the cup.

"I will wait for your triumphant return. It would be best if you can capture the empress."

The two clinked their glasses again and drank it all in one gulp.

Emperor Qing gave the tiger talismans of the three armies and the commander's seal to Li Chengqian.

Plus the Emperor's Sword.

It can be said that Li Chengqian now controls more than 70% of the Qing Kingdom’s military.

After he walked away, Emperor Qing put his hands in his sleeves, looked at his back, and suddenly asked the old eunuch a question:
"Do you think he will rebel?"

Hearing this, the old eunuch knelt on the ground, trembling with fear.

Don't dare to answer.
