Chapter 13 Ruthless person? No, you are simply a lunatic!

Today's discussion in the Imperial Study will not be known to others without the Emperor's permission.

In fact, the moment Li Chengde left, two pieces of news had already been delivered outside the palace walls.

The establishment of the Dongjisi Factory and Li Chengde began to discuss politics.

There is no doubt that these are breaking news that can cause huge waves in the court of Qing Kingdom.

The Supervisory Office is being monitored by the Eastern Investigation Bureau, which means that President Chen is likely to be under suspicion!
Then, as the governor of the East Factory, Eunuch Hou will inevitably become a new noble, and countless people will rush to show their goodwill to him.

"Congratulations, Eunuch Hou. From now on, I will have to rely on you for everything in and outside the palace."

Li Chengde's words shocked Eunuch Hou.

Eunuch Hou quickly said, "Fourth Prince, please don't joke with me. Even if you give me three times the courage, I would not dare to find someone to monitor Dean Chen."

Li Chengde raised his lips slightly, "What are you afraid of? You have the imperial edict in your hand, so it's legitimate."

Eunuch Hou begged for mercy, "Please don't mention this imperial edict. I would rather not be the governor of the East Factory. This will only offend the Supervisory Council!"

Since the establishment of the Supervisory Council, Chen Pingping and this courtyard have been deeply engraved in the hearts of the people of Qing.

No one can remain calm when facing Chen Pingping, especially when standing against him.

"Eunuch Hou, you need to be confident." Li Chengde continued to help Eunuch Hou with psychological counseling, "Monitor the Supervisory Office...

This is something that many people want to do but don't dare to do. Finally, you have done it. How fulfilled is that? "

Eunuch Hou smiled bitterly, "My Fourth Prince, don't you know how this mission came about?"

"I was almost scared to death just now. How dare you say such treasonous words in front of His Majesty!"

Li Chengde's eyes were calm, "I am still alive and kicking. You just think too highly of His Majesty."

As soon as these words were spoken, Eunuch Hou immediately shrank his neck and shuddered.

He lowered his voice and said, "Your Highness, please try not to do this kind of thing in the future. I am really afraid that one day you will really anger His Majesty."

Li Chengde smiled faintly, "Don't worry, I know what I am doing. I know what your majesty wants to do."

Eunuch Hou hesitated and said, "Your Highness, I hope that I will be less frightened in the future."

Li Chengde gave an answer, "Maybe."

Eunuch Hou lowered his voice even lower, "Your Highness, do I need to do anything for Dean Chen?"

Li Chengde did not deny it, "Wait for my order."

Not long after the two walked out of the palace, they saw a palace maid standing opposite them not far away.

"Your Highness, the Princess invites you."

At this time, Eunuch Hou reminded quietly, "Your Highness, be careful of the Princess."

Li Chengde motioned him to be at ease and looked at the palace maid, "Lead the way."

Soon, they arrived at a palace with a small courtyard, which was slightly chilly.

Plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum are planted in the courtyard, and many white gauze curtains are flying in the palace.

And at the end of the layers of gauze curtains was a low bed.

A woman in a white coat was leaning on the couch, her face full of laziness, looking charming and attractive.

Under the thin silk, the curves of the body are revealed, revealing a hint of immaturity amidst the maturity.

When the princess noticed Li Chengde appearing before her, she smiled brightly, and the whole room was filled with spring. "I thought you wouldn't come over. It seems that all of you men are the same."

Li Chengde did not hide the fact at all, "I haven't got the inner treasury yet, so of course I have to come over."

The princess smiled softly and said, "You keep staring at the inner treasury, but you know that only His Majesty can decide where it belongs."

"If I report this matter to His Majesty, how do you think His Majesty will react when a prince attempts to seize the treasury's financial power?"

Li Chengde responded calmly, "Don't worry, aunt. I just told His Majesty some more surprising news." As soon as these words came out, the eldest princess immediately realized that something was wrong. She frowned slightly and asked, "What did you say?"

Li Chengde did not hide anything. "I told His Majesty what you told me in my house that day."

The princess sat up suddenly, staring at Li Chengde, and after a moment she laughed, "Are you trying to trick me? You won't sell me out before you get the inner treasury."

"After all, even if the ownership of the inner treasury is up to His Majesty, I have been running it for so many years, and it is not without gain. You should be very clear about this."

Li Chengde nodded in disbelief, "You are right, but His Majesty does know that you tried to get the Crown Prince and my second brother to revolt."

"Oh, by the way, I also told Your Majesty that I hope the three of them will die together."

"!!!"

The eldest princess widened her eyes in disbelief.

For the emperor, the most difficult thing to accept is that others are coveting the throne!

Not to mention the court officials, even if a blood relative tried to rebel, the emperor would not show the slightest mercy!

Even if it is the crown prince whom he has cultivated with great efforts, if he is involved in rebellion, he will surely die!
And now, even though no one does this, as long as such a thorn is planted in the emperor's heart, it is very likely to make the emperor feel uneasy!

Therefore, in the following period, he began to suppress several existing candidates for the throne intentionally or unintentionally.

Moreover, it is possible to reproduce several more.

After all, once grudges are formed in your heart, it will be difficult to eliminate them!
If the news that the Crown Prince and the Second Prince might be instigated to rebel in the future was only leaked, the eldest princess would think it was normal.

Li Chengde is also a prince, and now he has joined the race for the throne. It is normal for him to suppress his competitors by all means.

But Li Chengde unexpectedly exposed himself, which made the eldest princess completely confused!
She thought Li Chengde was simply a lunatic!

"You are not interested in the throne? Are you planning to let the third son inherit the throne?"

Apart from this possibility, the princess really couldn't find any other reason to explain all this!
Li Chengde gave her a mysterious smile, "Guess?"

The eldest princess forced herself to calm down and think.

Since Li Chengde is so obsessed with the financial power of the inner treasury, it means that he absolutely cannot be indifferent to the throne!
Otherwise, what would he want the financial power of the inner treasury for?
But why did he expose himself again? This was something the eldest princess couldn't understand from beginning to end.

Of course, there is something even more incredible.

Li Chengde revealed such news to the emperor, but he was still able to appear in Guangxin Palace intact...

Although the emperor would not be angry about something that had not happened yet, Li Chengde would definitely not be able to get away with it.

But now it seems that the emperor doesn't care about this matter at all and has no reaction at all.

This is very abnormal!
Of course, it is also possible that Li Chengde has already been punished, but the news has not yet been released...

But no matter what, as long as Li Chengde still has ideas about the throne, she still has the possibility of muddying the waters.

The princess's eyebrows showed a charming look, and she opened her red lips slightly, "If you want me to guess, I don't want to guess. I want you to tell me in person."

Li Chengde said righteously, "You think too much."

The eldest princess slowly stood up and stepped barefoot on the wooden board, her face full of laziness, "Oh? Really? Are all you men so hard-mouthed?"

"But, as long as you enter my Guangxin Palace, believe it or not, I will have a way to make you say it out loud."

"I don't believe it." Li Chengde's attitude was very firm, but he paused, "There is another thing that may interest you."

"Your Majesty is ready to sell official positions and titles."

The eldest princess was stunned.

She felt she heard wrongly.

"Your Majesty is going to sell official positions? How is this possible?!"
