The strongest devouring system in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 623 Some loopholes

Chen Er nodded upon hearing the Emperor's words. Chen Er knew very well that the Emperor had probably been thinking about this matter for a long time and was just waiting for an opportunity.

Now is the best time to take action against Li Yingcai. If we don't kill him this time, it will be really hard to find another opportunity like this in the future.

Chen Er was very interested in this matter: "Don't worry, I'll make preparations when I get back. You'd better tell me what Li Yingcai did."

"Give me a simple analysis of everything, and I can find some loopholes," Chen Er said indifferently.

Every time Chen Er wanted to take action, he had never failed. The Emperor was very satisfied with Chen Er's actions, and that's when he spoke.

"Li Yingcai, as the current prince, has done a lot of things. Several years ago, Li Yingcai went to rescue my poor people and did a lot of good things."

But you know how lucrative this is; there's no one who doesn't embezzle. Also, he's been quite popular lately; he's used that money to build many temples. You could start your investigation from that.

The Emperor's words left Chen Er feeling utterly helpless. Which prince wasn't corrupt? But Li Yingcai dared to invest so lavishly in building a temple, so it seemed he was also a Buddhist.

To be more precise, it should be said that Li Yingcai also sensed danger, which is why he spent money to buy himself some peace of mind.

Otherwise, so many temples wouldn't be being built at this critical juncture: "Your Majesty, I feel that you should associate with Zhao Beixing less in the future, if you need a helper."

"I recommend Qin Zhongting to you. He's my father-in-law, and since our relationship improved, I feel I can trust him." Chen Er immediately recommended Qin Zhongting.

The Emperor nodded in satisfaction and patted Chen Er's shoulder hard: "Don't worry, I will ignore Zhao Beixing in the future. As for your father-in-law, as long as there is an opportunity..."

"I will definitely promote Qin Zhongting." After saying this, the Emperor looked at Chen Er with a smile again.

"How about I help you get a step up when you attend the morning court tomorrow? That way, it will be much more convenient for you to get things done." Chen Er immediately rejected the emperor's suggestion.

"Your Majesty, I feel that this is the most critical moment. We must not promote anyone. Doing so will only give Wei Zhongxian's faction a good opportunity to take advantage of the situation."

"In the end, if Wei Zhongxian just pulls a little strings, I'll be in deep trouble." Chen Er's words immediately silenced the emperor.

The Emperor knew that now was not the time to promote Chen Er, but he was afraid that Chen Er would be unhappy, so he made this suggestion.

"Your Majesty, it's getting late. You should take care of your health. I'll take my leave now." After bidding farewell to the Emperor, Chen Er did not rush back to rest. Instead, he took Ma Dazhi and Liu Chengdong and headed to Qin Zhongting's residence.

Chen Er wanted to learn some things about Li Yingcai from Qin Zhongting.

After all, the Emperor knows too little, so it would be better to start with Qin Zhongting first. Originally, Chen Er thought that Qin Zhongting had already rested.

However, to their surprise, the lights were on in Qin Zhongting's study, and several guards came over.

"Lord Chen Er, our master is waiting for you in the study. Please go in quickly." Chen Er nodded. This was Chen Er's first time entering Qin Zhongting's study.

He was immediately captivated by the furnishings inside. There were all kinds of books, including many military treatises, which greatly surprised Chen Er.

However, after thinking about it carefully, Chen Er understood. After all, Qin Zhongting and Zhao Beixing had led troops in battle before and were invincible, making many people tremble with fear.

Therefore, Qin Zhongting kept these books very well and placed them in his study. Qin Zhongting personally poured Chen Er a cup of hot tea before sitting down.

"Chen Er, Qin Luoshen hasn't been coming to see me lately. Is she still angry with me?" Qin Zhongting sighed and said. The reason Qin Zhongting had reconciled with Chen Er was because...

The main reason was his daughter, and last time Qin Luoshen got so angry from the heat that she wanted to sever her father-daughter relationship with Qin Zhongting, which terrified Qin Zhongting.

Because Qin Zhongting only had one daughter, and now that she's married, she's like water spilled from a cup—Qin Zhongting couldn't stop Qin Luoshen and Chen Er from being together.

So Qin Zhongting had no choice but to accept his fate. Chen Er smiled slightly and patted Qin Zhongting on the shoulder.

"Father-in-law, you can rest assured. Qin Luoshen is my wife, and she is living very well in my residence. Now, I mainly come here to learn about someone else's situation."

After Chen Er finished speaking, his expression became serious. Qin Zhongting was no fool either, and he noticed how serious Chen Er was.

Qin Zhongting knew that Chen Er's visit today was not to see him, but to find out some information. Qin Zhongting immediately dismissed the irrelevant personnel.

Chen Er instructed Ma Dazhi and Liu Chengdong to guard the entrance and prevent anyone from eavesdropping. After all, Li Yingcai was a prince, and it would be bad if word got out.

Qin Zhongting then looked at Chen Er with curiosity: "I wonder who you came here to find out about today? I will tell you anything I know."

Qin Zhongting's words made Chen Er fall into deep thought. Chen Er swallowed hard before speaking.

"Your Majesty wants to take action against Li Yingcai. You should have heard of him, right? He has a very good relationship with Wei Zhongxian, and Li Yingcai and Wei Zhongxian have fought side by side on several occasions."

"My main goal now is to deal with Li Yingcai." Chen Er's words startled Qin Zhongting. Who was Li Yingcai? He was the father of one of the emperor's concubines.

However, Li Yingcai managed Wei Zhongxian's power very well.

From this, it can be seen that Li Yingcai is a rare talent. It's a pity that he has chosen the wrong side, which has brought him to his death. Chen Er drank a cup of tea.

"Of course it's the Emperor's will. Without the Emperor's decree, I wouldn't dare to touch a prince unless I'm tired of living."

Qin Zhongting breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing Chen Er's words. When Qin Zhongting mentioned Li Yingcai, even Qin Zhongting couldn't help but give him a thumbs up.

"This person is indeed a talented individual. He was a learned scholar who was awarded by the late emperor, and he has received further recognition since the current emperor ascended the throne."

Furthermore, by taking Li Yingcai's youngest daughter as his concubine, he elevated Li Yingcai to a higher position, making him the prince he is today. Qin Zhongting then changed the subject.
