Chapter 224: Plan to capture Fan Jian.

"Do many people know about this?"

Xiao En asked in a deep voice. He had already learned from the Imperial Master Li An that his Xiao family had already been extinct and had no descendants. And everything before was just a plot by Chen Pingping.

He always thought that Chen Pingping deliberately concealed the truth and that the information he had heard was the most credible.

This point was also taken advantage of by Chen Pingping, who knew him well. The few words that he inadvertently revealed to him over the years were just to make him firmly believe one thing - Fan Xian was his grandson!
In order to find out the secrets of the temple, this scheme was set up for nearly twenty years.

"Not many people know about it, but not too few either." Li An shook his head. "At least Fan Xian's adoptive father Fan Jian and Emperor Qing in the Southern Dynasty Palace know about it. As for whether the old queen mother knows about it, I'm not sure."

At the end, Ang Lee rarely used an uncertain tone.

"The key point of the matter is not who knows, but Fan Xian's mother - Ye Qingmei!"

Sean was shocked again when he heard this. Even though he had heard this name before, he still couldn't believe that such a godly person would actually marry Emperor Qing and have a son. The most important thing is, the son of such a person is not the crown prince?
Emperor Qing laughed at me for losing my mind, and I laughed at Emperor Qing for not being able to see clearly!
"Master, are you talking about Ye Qingmei's mysterious death?" Zhan Doudou asked slowly.

As the emperor of Northern Qi, she naturally took over all the information and intelligence networks of Northern Qi. Although the previous emperor was unable to get any secrets about the temple from Sean, he also paid attention to this woman who was rich enough to rival a country in the business world.

This man is extraordinary and full of creative ideas.

If you think about it a little, you will know that so many things that are not from this place have been invented. Can one person really be so smart?

In addition to Ye Qingmei's business methods, her unknown origins made the late emperor, the emperor of the world, full of curiosity, but no matter how he investigated, he could not see the truth.

These mysteries also gave Zhan Doudou a simple understanding of Ye Qingmei.

Unexpectedly, she is Fan Xian’s biological mother?
Then she disappeared mysteriously, and considering the context of the national teacher's words, it seems that she was killed.

Although Zhan Doudou admired Fan Xian, he did not think there was anything wrong with using his mother's death to make a fuss. After all, the two were now enemies, so naturally they would do whatever it took.

"That's right. Ye Qingmei's death was not simple. She was strangled by many forces!"

Li An said in a deep voice: "The greatest force among them is Fan Xian's biological father - Emperor Qing!"

"what?"

Haitang Duoduo exclaimed, hiding behind the beaded curtain. The Queen Mother Wei, who was invited by Zhan Doudou, did not blame the people in front of her, because even she was shocked. After tidying up her manners, the Queen Mother asked: "Such a huge help is enough for Emperor Qing to fulfill his ambition, why did he kill Ye Qingmei, his first wife?"

The Queen Mother did not know that the two had not married.

Ang Lee did not explain much.

He just sighed and said, "Because of fear. For the sake of imperial power, Emperor Qing can do many things, just like what is happening now. For the sake of his Li family, or more precisely, for his own power, he can get rid of the Ye family, the pillar of the country, not to mention the lives of those high-end ninth-grade warriors! In his opinion, it is these warriors who are threatening the imperial power and threatening the imperial family."

"Ye Qingmei has a mysterious background, extraordinary means, and she is also rich enough to rival a country. Of course, he wants to kill her! Even if she is his beloved woman!"

After saying these words, the men were silent and the women were in tears, except for Sean who sneered.
"Emperor Qing is a qualified emperor, but he is not a good father, let alone a good husband!"

Zhan Doudou's words were brief and firm. There was a hint of explanation and trust in her eyes as she looked at Li Ang.

Li An smiled back and nodded tacitly, showing his trust.

After a moment of silence, Li An continued, "Most of the forces that killed Ye Qingmei were massacred afterwards. Emperor Qing turned a blind eye and let Chen Pingping do whatever he wanted to prevent the news from leaking out. In addition, Emperor Qing felt guilty and had mixed feelings. But one force was saved, and that was the Qin family and Qin Ye!" "Is the news true?"

Suspicious Sean asked the question subconsciously, and realized the inappropriateness of his words in an instant. This was questioning the other party's ability to eat in person. He immediately said hurriedly: "That's not what he meant."

"Of course I know. The news is absolutely true. This is why I summoned you to His Majesty."

Xiao En understood clearly, and bowed to Zhan Doudou and said, "I know what to do."

"No hurry, no hurry."

Li An pointed at Taoist He behind him and said, "Master Xiao has been isolated from the world for many years, so he may not know this person very well. Taoist He, a ninth-rank warrior, may be able to go to Qing Kingdom on behalf of Master Xiao."

"Master He, I meet Master Xiao."

"You're welcome. I've learned some information about Mr. He during this period of time." The implication is that he has already investigated.

"It goes without saying that I am a master in front of the national master. I am really showing off my skills in front of an expert. I feel ashamed of myself!"

Seeing that the two of them had connected, Li An spoke again:
"This first piece of news can cause unrest in Qing. Although Fan Xian has considerable power, it mostly relies on the trust of Emperor Qing. After this news is released, the favor he received from the Emperor in Xuankong Mountain in Qing will no longer exist. As for the power over the inner treasury that he is about to obtain, it is even more like a mirage."

Given the princess's jealousy and hatred towards Ye Qingmei, she is likely to try her best to kill Fan Xian who is in Jiangnan.

Although Fan Xian would not be killed because he was accompanied by Wu Zhu.

But Emperor Qing’s reaction will be the last straw that breaks the camel’s back between the two!
The Supervisory Office under Chen Pingping and the Inner Treasury and Tiger Guards under Fan Jian will also help Fan Xian withstand the pressure from Emperor Qing.

"Of course, before we can accomplish this, we must first weaken Fan Xian's adoptive father, Fan Jian, the current Minister of Finance of Qing!" Li An reviewed the situation many times in his mind and firmly believed in his plan. If Fan Jian was not weakened, with his Ministry of Finance and the Tiger Guards that he completely controlled privately, Northern Qi would have a hard time accomplishing anything!

"Why is it so?" The Prime Minister asked his question without hesitation.

As the first civil servant, he served the previous emperor and the previous Wei emperor, and could be regarded as a minister of three dynasties. He understood how the court operated and knew what effect would be produced after the first news was released.

No matter how Fan Xian, who has a great reputation in Qing, and Emperor Qing will fight, the two princes who are fighting to the death will get involved and want to get rid of Fan Xian as soon as possible. Not to mention the previous intelligence showing the conflict between Fan Xian and the eldest princess of Qing!

"As for the reason, it's a secret. You just need to trust me!"

Li An did not mention the matter of the Tiger Guards. If this force was revealed rashly, it would affect the subsequent layout of the battle against Emperor Qing at Mount Dadong.

"I wonder how the Imperial Master plans to weaken Fan Jian?"

Sean asked the question in his mind.

If ordinary means were used in Kyoto, it would be cracked by Chen Pingping who lives in Kyoto within half a day, and it would be a pity to use one's own manpower in these places.

"This is a simple matter. Since Fan Jian is in charge of the Ministry of Revenue, he will naturally start with the money. There is no official in the Ministry of Revenue who is not greedy. If this person is really not greedy, then it will be a real danger to Emperor Qing!"

After hearing this, the Grand Tutor and the Prime Minister became thoughtful.
