Chapter 313: Abolishing the City Lord's Position
Yuan Yi immediately appeared and rushed to the opposite side, took the man in black from Ling Feng, and started fighting with him.
Ling Feng immediately stood not far from Ning Yeming and looked at him indifferently.
Oh, who do you think you are? How dare you ask His Highness to come here? How can you be so shameless?
Hui Chengyuan took a glance and then retracted his gaze, poured himself a cup of tea and said, "Young Master An, if you have anything else to say, just say it all."
An Ye Ning looked at the opposite side, and after a while, he knew that An Ye Ming's guard was no match for the prince's secret guards.
Looking at the prince who was drinking tea calmly opposite him, "So, Prince, you think that you can fight against our entire Qin Palace with just that secret guard?"
The corner of Ling Yang's mouth twitched. What kind of brain could say such a thing?
"So, Young Master An can represent the head of the An family. Do you mean that the An family is going to rebel?"
"You're talking nonsense..." An Ye Ning was so anxious that he spoke without thinking. Can one just say words of rebellion casually?
Even if you mean that, you can't say it out loud.
Suddenly, a figure came in through the window and sat where An Ye Ning had sat before.
"Your Highness, why get angry?" An Yeming said as he poured himself a cup of tea.
"Angry? You are not worth my anger." Hui Chengyuan's expression was very indifferent, as if he didn't take them seriously.
Otherwise, he would be killed as he rushed over from the opposite side without making a sound.
His appearance directly irritated An Yening, but after looking at An Yeming, he suppressed the anger that was rising up.
An Yeming took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "The prince is really confident, but it is also true that you are the prince, and you are born with unparalleled confidence."
As soon as he finished speaking, Yuan Yi walked in from the door carrying his guard, dropped him off and left.
Ling Feng was there to compensate for the broken things.
Hui Chengyuan glanced at him and played with the teacup in his hand, "Lord An, are you lamenting your birth?"
"That's right. This prince is born into a noble family. No one can compare to him. It's normal to feel jealous. I understand."
"But where did City Lord An get his position as City Lord? Can you show me the City Lord's appointment letter, or... the secret decree?"
An Yeming raised his head and looked at him. "Your Highness, you are joking. The position of city lord was given to me by my father. How can there be a letter of appointment?"
"And I am fortunate to have the support of the people, so I can sit firmly on the position of city lord."
The meaning is very clear. He is very popular among the people here and he cannot be deposed just because he wants to.
Hui Chengyuan raised his lips slightly, "Is it really supported by the people?"
Glancing sideways at the people walking on the street outside, "I'm afraid it's only supported by unmarried girls."
An Yeming also looked outside, "If your Highness doesn't believe me, you can give it a try to see if I have the ability to be the city lord."
"Oh..." Hui Chengyuan retracted his gaze and looked at him, "What do you think, if I stand in the center of the city as the crown prince, who do you think the people will support more?"
An Yeming narrowed his eyes slightly. It was hard to say. Even if the people of the city really supported him, compared with the prince, he, the city lord, was nothing.
After all, one is the future emperor and the other is just the city lord.
Just like the natural disasters in the past two years, the imperial court did a very good job and left a good impression on the people.
Unless he can make the prince lose his moral integrity and has solid evidence, the people will only choose the prince.
Hui Chengyuan stood up and looked down at him, "This prince will give you three days. After three days, this prince hopes to hear the news that Xiandong no longer has a city lord."
"Whether you do it or not, in three days, this prince will post an official notice to abolish the position of city lord and inform all the people in the city that the position of city lord has never existed in Anguo."
Without waiting for An Yeming to respond, Hui Chengyuan leaned forward slightly and said again: "From tomorrow on, Xiandong City will be temporarily taken over by this prince."
"The An family had better behave themselves. Otherwise, don't blame me for being cruel and ruthless."
After Hui Chengyuan finished speaking, he flicked his sleeves and left.
An Ye Ning looked at An Ye Ming and asked, "What should we do?"
"Father has not returned yet. Should we follow the prince's instructions?"
An Yeming glanced at him and looked at the prince's carriage driving away downstairs. "The prince's arrival is too strange. Send someone to check if something happened in Kyoto."
An Ye Ning frowned and said, "Could it be that something went wrong with An Xianhe? Otherwise, he shouldn't have come to us to investigate."
"Could it be that An Xianhe has turned against us and told the prince everything about us?"
An Yeming retracted his gaze and looked at the teacup that the prince had been playing with. "It shouldn't be the case. An Xianhe is ambitious and will not take the initiative to sell himself out. At most, the prince may have found out his identity."
"Of course, this matter cannot be as he said. We have been lurking in the Qin Palace for so many years. We finally have an opportunity. We must not give up."
"Brother, send a message to Kyoto to have someone investigate. I will arrange for someone to look for father."
An Yeming stood up and walked out, "This prince came out from private servers, and no one would know if he died here. You should tell the people in Jingge to keep their mouths shut."
If the prince wants to seize the title of King of Qin and his position as city lord, it depends on whether he is willing to do so.
They have been planning in Xiandong for so many years, how can he just abolish them if he wants to? Taking over is just a dream.
Hui Chengyuan returned to Lexiangshan, washed up, and then came to Yuanman, picked up Tangtang and started teasing her.
Yuan Man opened his eyes and looked at him, "What's wrong? Is it not going well?"
Hui Chengyuan recounted the story of Jingge, "These two brothers seem to be at odds with each other, but they are actually working together."
"An Ye Ning was able to recognize me at a glance. I guess he is also paying close attention to the affairs of Kyoto. However, I cannot confirm whether An Xianhe's death is related to them at the moment."
"Besides pretending to be the prince and the city lord, they didn't reveal anything else."
Yuan Man stood up and put his chin on his shoulder. "You asked one of them to hand over the Qin King's order and the other to revoke the position of city lord. Aren't you afraid that they will get angry out of shame?"
"What I want is for them to make mistakes in a hurry." Hui Chengyuan turned his head and put his face close to hers.
"If nothing unexpected happens, they will want to kill me to silence me."
"So, the mansion will be very lively these days. Do you want to take the children out for some fun?"
Yuan Man smiled and rubbed against him, "Let Yuan Jiu and Yuan Qi take the children out to play, I will stay in the mansion with you."
"They know that you have countless secret guards around you. If they want to kill you, they will naturally not send a mob, so it is best for me to stay in the mansion."
"It's still early now, let Yuan Qi and Yuan Jiu make some arrangements, and we'll set off today."
Hui Chengyuan put Tangtang down, turned around and hugged her in his arms, "Actually, I can handle them. Yuanyi fought with them today. Even the most powerful person following An Yeming was no match for Yuanyi."
"So as long as Yuanyi stays with me, everything will be fine."
"During this period, Yuan Yi and I have improved our martial arts, and with the secret guards here, we'll be fine."
