Chapter 117 It's right! Li Jingxuan loses the support of the Regent
"Your Highness has thrown all the problems to me now."
Jiang Chen looked into King Huaian's eyes and said calmly.
As Jiang Chen said this, the study room suddenly became quiet.
Prince Huaian looked at Jiang Chen with some amusement, playing with a pure jade ruyi in his hand.
"Then I wonder what Lord Jiang thinks?"
"Don't worry about that, Your Majesty. I have my own way."
After saying that, Jiang Chen respectfully bowed to King Huai'an and then left the study.
After leaving King Huai'an's study, Jiang Chen returned to his own courtyard.
Just after sitting down for a while, Su Qingcheng walked in with her slender waist.
He was holding a basin of warm water in his hand and a stack of white towels on his arm.
"My lord, let me wipe your face."
Looking at Jiang Chen's face, which was pitch black from being busy these days and not even washed.
Su Qingcheng bowed and said to Jiang Chen.
"Well, thank you for your help."
Nodding at Su Qingcheng, Jiang Chen took off his Qilin costume.
He lay comfortably on the bed.
After seeing Jiang Chen lying down, Su Qingcheng picked up the white towel and waved it in the basin.
Then, he started to wipe Jiang Chen's face.
After wiping for a while , Jiang Chen started snoring.
The fatigue of the past few days was finally relieved at this moment.
While Jiang Chen was sleeping, inside the prefect's mansion.
Li Jingxuan, who had been detained by the Jinyiwei for several days, was finally released.
The first thing Li Jingxuan did when he came out with disheveled hair was to call Li Yulin over.
"Uncle, you called me here, what's the matter?"
Li Yulin bowed to Li Jingxuan and asked slowly.
"Huh, you still have the nerve to ask me?"
"Let me ask you, why did you take the initiative to lead troops to help Jiang Chen!"
"Do you still have me as your uncle in your eyes?!"
As he said this, Li Jingxuan looked at his nephew angrily.
"Uncle, my nephew has always been loyal to his duties."
"Besides, Lord Jiang is here to wipe out the Japanese pirates, and I have an obligation to help Lord Jiang!"
Facing Li Jingxuan's questioning, Li Yulin responded neither humbly nor arrogantly.
A look of determination flashed across his face.
After hearing his nephew's answer, Li Jingxuan became even more angry.
It can be said that Jiang Chen and I are now at the point where we are incompatible.
But his nephew now insisted on standing on Jiang Chen's side.
Thinking of this, Li Jingxuan couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.
"After your father died, I raised you by myself."
"Now, you want to help others deal with me?!"
"What on earth am I to you, your uncle?"
"Uncle, I thank you for your upbringing in my heart."
"But, my nephew knows how to serve the country and the people. As long as those Japanese pirates are not eliminated, the people of Jiangnan will never have peace!"
As he spoke, Li Yulin also raised his head.
A pair of big eyes stared at his uncle closely.
Facing Li Yulin's direct gaze, Li Jingxuan shook his head helplessly.
"Oh, never mind. You're older now."
"You are no longer the child who always listens to your uncle. Go down."
"You'd better not get involved in what happens between Jiang Chen and me."
"I don't want my Li family to end up without even a descendant."
After saying that, Li Jingxuan waved his hand and signaled Li Yulin to leave.
Looking at his uncle's trembling back, Li Yulin fell to his knees.
"Uncle, I will never forget your kindness in raising me!"
After hearing Li Yulin's words, Li Jingxuan paused slightly.
The whole person's eyes were filled with tears.
After standing there for a while, Li Jingxuan gritted his teeth.
He resisted the urge to turn around and help Li Yulin , and walked out with big strides.
And so, three days passed.
The news that Jiang Chen had wiped out a group of Japanese pirates spread back to the imperial capital.
In the palace, the emperor had just returned to the imperial study.
As soon as he sat down, he received the documents handed over by Su Dingxia.
"good!"
“Good job!”
"I really didn't misjudge Jiang Chen."
Looking at the battle report that Jiang Chen and his men successfully wiped out a group of Japanese pirates.
The emperor's pale face also turned a little rosy.
Looking at the battle report in his hand, the emperor said to Su Dingxia.
"Come here, draft an order immediately!"
"I will confer upon Jiang Chen the title of first-class viscount, and five hundred taels of gold!"
"I obey your order!"
After receiving the imperial edict, Su Dingxia hurriedly retreated and arranged for people to go to Jiangnan.
At the same time, in the Regent’s Palace.
The Regent, who had also received Jiang Chen's battle report, frowned slightly.
"This Jiang Chen is beyond my expectations."
"How dare you hold local officials hostage and mobilize troops privately."
"And the person he held hostage was my own man. Who gave him the courage?!"
As he spoke, the Regent threw the battle report in his hand onto the desk.
Seeing this, Jiang Haiping, who was standing by, hurried forward and saluted to the Regent.
"Your Majesty, please calm down. This is a good thing!"
"In this way, although Li Jingxuan's military power has been divided."
"But Lord Jiang is also one of ours , and Lord Jiang's prestige in Jiangnan has increased."
"That's a good thing for you, Your Majesty!"
Sure enough, after hearing Jiang Haiping's words, the Regent's expression improved slightly.
"According to what you said, I will have to reward him?"
"That's right, Your Majesty, you can't be stingy."
"After all, Lord Jiang is one of ours."
After saying that, Jiang Haiping smiled slightly and looked at the Regent meaningfully.
"You are right, but I haven't thought it through comprehensively enough."
Looking at Jiang Haiping's smile, the Regent immediately understood.
"In that case, Jiang Haiping."
"How do you think I should reward Jiang Chen?"
The Regent looked at Jiang Haiping with a smile and threw the question to him.
"My Lord, in my opinion."
"How about rewarding him with five hundred taels of gold?"
After hearing Jiang Haiping's answer, the Regent waved his hand.
"No, five hundred taels is too little!"
"I will give him one thousand taels, and at the same time, give the order."
"From now on, the post of Governor of Jiangnan will be taken over by Wang Qingxuan!"
"Your Majesty is wise!"
Li Jingxuan, who was far away in Jiangnan, did not know that he had completely lost the support of the Regent.
Completely reduced to a discarded pawn!
But this can't be blamed on anyone else, because Jiang Chen caught him with something wrong.
As a local official, when the people were being robbed by Japanese pirates.
However, they did not immediately send county soldiers to wipe out the Japanese pirates!
This might not be a big deal under normal circumstances, after all, the entire Jiangnan area is under his control.
But now, King Huai'an is trying to eliminate the Japanese pirates.
Everything became different after Jiang Chen, the regent, was invited from the imperial capital.
The regent has enormous power!
It was so powerful that it could pull Li Jingxuan down from the position of prefect in one fell swoop.
This is the regent!
It can be said that Jiang Chen represents the emperor in Jiangnan.
