Chapter 40 Ideal in Life
Overthrow the Prince? This mission is certainly difficult, and it certainly lives up to its name, which is not surprising.
But the question is, how to implement it smartly?
Li Chengze pondered, a plan gradually taking shape in his mind, becoming more and more concrete.
"Your Highness, do you agree or reject my request?" Fan Xian asked again when he saw that Li Chengze was silent for a long time and did not respond immediately.
"Wait a minute, I'm thinking about a specific strategy." Li Chengze responded, gesturing to Fan Xian to give him some space to think. When Fan Xian heard Li Chengze's words, he couldn't help but be stunned, and then his face showed joy.
Li Chengze said that he would consider how to act. This seems to mean that he has agreed to the plan to join forces to fight against the prince?
"Second Highness, please rest assured that once the crown prince is overthrown, I will fully support your ascension to the throne." Fan Xian followed closely, showing his loyalty.
What Fan Xian is most dissatisfied with in this era is the contempt for the people at the bottom of the feudal society. This is what he can't stand the most.
As for Li Chengze, as a person who also traveled through time, his vision is not limited by this era. His attitude towards the people at the bottom coincides with Fan Xian.
Based on this alone, Fan Xian decided to support Li Chengze as the new monarch.
Only when Li Chengze becomes Emperor Qing will the lives of the people at the bottom be improved and their status will be improved.
"Fan Xian, what is your life goal?"
Hearing Fan Xian's sudden declaration of loyalty, Li Chengze temporarily put aside his plans and turned to ask Fan Xian.
Fan Xian was a little surprised by this sudden question, but he did not avoid it, but answered frankly: "Me? My biggest wish is to become a rich idler and enjoy a carefree life."
"I understand, your ultimate goal is to live a prosperous life without the need for hard work. What you pursue is relaxation and ease, rich material and light responsibilities, right?" Li Chengze nodded lightly and gave a concise summary of Fan Xian's life pursuits. "The person who knows me well is none other than His Highness!" Fan Xian smiled and nodded in agreement.
"Indeed, we all traveled from modern times, so communication is smoother," he continued.
"Easy job, generous remuneration, close to home, high status but light responsibilities." Fan Xian said with emotion, "Only someone like you who has traveled through modern times can say this."
"Then why don't you ask me what my life goal is?" Li Chengze suddenly said to Fan Xian.
"Oh, Your Highness, what are your goals in life?" Fan Xian was stunned for a moment, then asked curiously.
"My goal in life is to travel around and enjoy the scenery everywhere." Li Chengze answered, with a kind of yearning in his tone.
"Yeah, now that I've traveled to this world of comprehensive martial arts, wouldn't it be a waste of time if I didn't appreciate the scenery in various places?" He continued, "There is a saying that goes well, before I traveled through time, I lived a 996 life. , I still live the life of 996 after time travel, so what is the meaning of time travel?”
"Fighting for the throne?" Li Chengze shook his head, "In my opinion, that is not a supreme position, but a huge cage."
"Besides, with the mission treasure box system, my future is full of infinite possibilities." He said confidently, "You want to restrict me with just one throne? That is impossible."
"Your Highness, are you really not interested in the throne?" Fan Xian opened his eyes in surprise when he heard Li Chengze's words.
"Should I be interested in the throne?" Li Chengze asked in a joking tone.
"No, how can any prince in this world not be interested in the throne?" Fan Xian said in confusion.
"Am I really a prince?" Li Chengze asked again, with a hint of meaning in his eyes. On the surface, Li Chengze is indeed the second prince, but in essence, his soul is not like that.
Faced with Li Chengze's rhetorical question, Fan Xian fell into silence. If other princes said they were not interested in the throne, Fan Xian might not believe it. But these words came from the second prince Li Chengze who was also a time traveler. Fan Xian had to believe it because Li Chengze didn't look like he was lying.
"Then, Your Highness, what is the real purpose of your agreement to join forces with me to fight against the Crown Prince?" Fan Xian then asked.
"You are opposed to the prince becoming the crown prince and think he is not suitable. My thoughts are the same as yours, so I agreed." Li Chengze replied.
Hearing this answer, Fan Xian's expression became serious, and then he saluted Li Chengze seriously: "In this case, on behalf of the people of the world, I would like to thank His Highness the Second Highness."
"Don't say that," Li Chengze waved his hand, looking a little impatient, "The people of the world don't need anyone to represent them."
"The reason why you and I are willing to take action is because we have noble moral character," Li Chengze continued. "As for speaking on behalf of the people of the world, there is no need to say it."
Hearing Li Chengze's boast, Fan Xian smiled and gave a thumbs up: "Your Highness, you are so unique in praising yourself like this. This is the first time I have heard it."
"There's one more thing, I think it's a little strange." Li Chengze suddenly changed the topic.
"Your Highness, is there anything that makes you feel strange?" Fan Xian asked.
"I remember the emperor said that after you and Wan'er get married, the inner treasury will be managed by you." Li Chengze said, "Now that you have been married for a while, why hasn't there been any movement on this matter? Is it the emperor's intention, or is it the emperor's intention? Li Yunrui is unwilling to let go? "
Indeed, judging from the original work, Li Yunrui had already arrived in Kyoto before Fan Xian and Lin Waner got married. But this time, Fan Xian and Lin Waner have been married for many days, but Li Yunrui has not yet handed over the internal treasury. This is indeed a bit abnormal.
"Well, I think it's a little strange too." Fan Xian nodded in agreement.
"By the way, His Highness just said that he was considering countermeasures to deal with the Crown Prince. I wonder what his Highness's plans are?" Fan Xian asked again while the two were chatting.
Although Fan Xian didn't think he was stupid, after this action against the prince, he realized that his strategy still needed to be improved. Fan Xian admired Li Chengze's strategy, so he wanted to know if Li Chengze had a plan to deal with the prince.
"I do have some ideas, but it's just a rough framework." Li Chengze said directly without hiding anything.
"Oh? What's the plan?" Fan Xian didn't expect that Li Chengze had really considered it, and his eyes lit up.
"Actually, the situation is very simple." Li Chengze picked up a bunch of grapes, picked one and put it in his mouth, preparing to explain his plan in detail.
"Through this incident, we can see that the emperor does not want me to completely suppress the prince. Naturally, he does not want the prince to lose power because of me." Li Chengze analyzed.
Fan Xian nodded in agreement and encouraged Li Chengze to continue.
"In that case, the problem is simple."
