Chapter 615 Flesh and Blood Are Weak, and Machinery Ascends
Hearing Fan Xian's words, Chen Pingping couldn't help but raise her eyebrows.
Fan Xian felt the strange look in Chen Pingping's eyes and said with a wry smile: "I know what you want to say. I have seen my future, so I naturally know what the eldest princess, the prince, and the second prince have done to me."
"To tell you the truth, I actually don't care about the lives of these Li family members."
"But there are people around them, and those who are loyal to the Qing Kingdom, but have become foolishly loyal because they accepted the concept of monarchs and ministers. I don't think it's worth letting their lives be buried with these people."
Chen Pingping shook her head and said with a bit of hatred: "There is no such thing as whether it is worth it or not. It's just where you stand, and everyone has his own way!"
"Besides, when dynasties change, no one will die!"
"If you want to achieve something big, you have to be ruthless!"
"You only account for half of the four words "cruel and ruthless". How can this be possible?"
Fan Xian smiled and said: "Uncle Chen is right. Compared to other Li family members, I am indeed soft-hearted, but I don't think this is a shortcoming. Besides, if I were really cruel and ruthless, how would you still help me like this, Uncle Chen?" me?"
Chen Pingping was silent for a moment and said softly: "You are the young lady's son."
Fan Xian sighed and said, "You are not afraid that I will be sad."
A smile appeared on Chen Pingping's face: "I know you are soft-hearted, so I'm naturally not afraid."
Fan Xian spread his hands and said with a smile, "Look, let me tell you, being soft-hearted is not a shortcoming."
Chen Pingping crossed her hands and placed them on her knees. She looked at Fan Xian with interest and said, "If you don't want to use my method, what do you want to do?"
Fan Xian smiled bitterly and said, "I said I haven't thought about it yet. Do you believe me?"
Chen Pingping thought for a while, nodded and said: "I believe that it is difficult for a soft-hearted person to make any long-term plans in a short time because of his indecisiveness. You just joined Tianting not long ago, and you came to me for a showdown. It should be just a temporary rush of passion, right? "
Hearing Chen Pingping's understatement, Fan Xian couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Putting aside those extraordinary methods, in terms of insight into people's hearts, even ten of them would not be Chen Pingping's opponent.
Chen Pingping said calmly: "But I guess you should have already made some rough decisions in your mind, such as... using the power of heaven."
Fan Xian nodded and said, "That's true."
Chen Pingping shook her head: "Driving the tiger to swallow the wolf is really the best strategy."
Fan Xian smiled and said, "Uncle Chen, don't worry, I have my own sense of proportion."
Chen Pingping smiled and shook her head, then waved to Fan Xian.
Fan Xian walked over, squatted next to the wheelchair, and looked at Chen Pingping.
Chen Pingping looked at his features carefully, and in a trance she seemed to see the energetic girl from back then.
He subconsciously reached out his hand, wanting to touch Fan Xian's face.
But just as he raised his arm, he quickly came to his senses and dropped his hand with a smile.
Fan Xian sensed his intention and gently raised his hand to hold his old wrinkled palm.
Chen Pingping's eyes became gentler and she said warmly: "You are still too young. Some things are not as simple as you think."
"I don't understand things about heaven, so I won't say much, but I have seen too much about this world and its people."
"Not to mention whether the people you find will sincerely help you, even if they are sincere and have no desire to gain power, do you think the final result will be better than my plan?"
"You know, Qingguo is already the most powerful country in the world. Both the common people and the powerful, inside and outside Kyoto, have a sense of arrogance in their hearts."
"If you allow outsiders to interfere in Qing's internal affairs, what will the courtiers all over the city think, and what will the people all over the world think?"
At this point, Chen Pingping paused and then said with a smile: "Okay, let's take a step back. Even if these are not problems, do you think there will be fewer people dying than other methods?"
"Let's not talk about the imperial army in the imperial capital, let's talk about the officialdom. Except for a very small number of officials who can stay out of the matter, the others are either loyal to His Majesty, or they have already chosen sides between the Crown Prince and the Second Prince."
"If you want to change the dynasty, you still have to clear out some die-hard loyalists of the old dynasty."
"Not all of them are evil people, some are even notoriously honest and upright officials, but even such people will inevitably do some stupid things for the sake of their loyalty."
"For example, you may be killed in a crash in front of the palace, you may be yelled at by the public, or even organized to assassinate you."
As she spoke, Chen Pingping glanced at Fan Xian and said with a smile, "What would you do if something like this really happened?"
Fan Xian's expression changed and he remained silent. Apparently, he had not considered the possibilities mentioned by Chen Pingping.
Chen Pingping sighed softly: "Now you realize, no matter how you plan to take revenge on our Majesty, death is inevitable."
Fan Xian was silent for a long time and said softly: "The questions you asked are too heavy and I can't answer them yet."
Chen Pingping was not surprised. He sighed softly, patted the back of Fan Xian's hand, and said warmly: "If you can't do it, then I will do it, and I will bear the blame. When the dynasty changes, you can kill me. Use my old life to appease the world..."
Fan Xian stood up in shock and asserted: "No, absolutely not!"
Chen Pingping smiled and said: "It doesn't matter. If it weren't for seeking justice for your mother, I should have gone down long ago..."
Fan Xian shook his head decisively and said: "No, I have Heaven as my backer, how can I let you bear everything for me again!"
Chen Pingping frowned and said seriously: "The throne is more important, and reputation is just a small matter, not worth mentioning. Besides, as long as you really control the world and correct the chaos for me, it's just a matter of your words!"
Fan Xian still shook his head and said: "If I say no, it's no."
Chen Pingping looked at him helplessly and said: "Then you can give me a better plan!"
"Ah this..." Fan Xian scratched his head awkwardly and said cautiously, "Uncle, how about this, give me some more time, I will go to find someone to learn from."
Chen Pingping raised his eyebrows: "Heaven?"
Fan Xian nodded honestly: "Brother Mu introduced me to many senior brothers, they are all extremely intelligent people like you."
"I am too young and have too little experience. I can't answer your question for a while, but my senior brothers in the Heavenly Court may be able to think of a more appropriate method."
Hearing Fan Xian's sincere words, Chen Pingping's heart moved, and he keenly caught the word "people"
But he did not make it public, just calmly said: "If you want to ask, then go ahead and ask. However, I still warn you that you must be careful in dealing with matters in the Heavenly Palace. You must know that there is no love without reason in this world..."
Of course it is not without reason!
But it is not easy to tell Chen Pingping about the matter of the time traveler.
Fan Xian could only smile and say: "Don't worry, I do know my limits in this matter."
Chen Pingping nodded slightly, let go of Fan Xian's hand, and smiled: "Push me out."
Fan Xian nodded, stood up and walked behind Chen Pingping, and put his hands on the wheelchair.
Just when he was pushing the wheelchair, Fan Xian suddenly slapped his head, quickly stopped his hand, came to Chen Pingping, looked at his puzzled face and smiled.
"By the way, Uncle Chen, I asked for you in the Heavenly Palace and found a way to treat your limb disability..."
"..."
As soon as these words came out, Chen Pingping's smiling face finally had a trace of obvious uncontrollable changes.
He opened his mouth first, then looked at Fan Xian blankly and said, "Heaven... can heal my legs?"
Fan Xian chuckled, his eyes moved down, and fell between Chen Pingping's legs without hesitation.
"Uncle, you didn't listen carefully, I said limb disability, not just legs!"
"..."
Hearing Fan Xian's clear words, Chen Pingping couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and seemed to finally react.
Or perhaps, he had already heard what Fan Xian meant, but because of years of inferiority and disability, he subconsciously avoided this topic in his heart and didn't dare to hope for that glimmer of hope.
But he is Chen Pingping after all, the Chen Pingping who dared to challenge the emperor as a eunuch.
Even if it was something bigger than the sky in the eunuch's heart, such as cutting off the roots and rebirth, he quickly calmed down.
"You child, you have no respect for your elders."
Chen Pingping laughed and scolded, but there was not only no blame in his eyes, but also a hint of expectation.
Fan Xian's face straightened, and he said seriously: "Uncle, this is a matter of great importance to us men, I definitely can't avoid it!"
We men...
Chen Pingping laughed dumbly, and a trace of warmth rose in his heart.
Among the people he met in his life, except Ye Qingmei back then, only Fan Xian would treat him as a man and an uncle.
If Chen Pingping only loved Fan Xian because of Ye Qingmei before, then now, after this heart-to-heart talk, he has truly accepted Fan Xian.
This is a good child who is soft-hearted and kind-hearted like his mother, and doesn't care about his physical disability at all.
Fan Xian continued to smile and said: "Uncle, I didn't lie to you, the Heavenly Court really has a way to cure you, but..."
"...but what?"
Chen Pingping stared at Fan Xian, and his face, which had been expressionless for many years because of his deep scheming, finally showed a trace of defenseless tension.
Fan Xian smiled and said, "Nothing, there are just too many methods. I don't know which one to choose, so I want to ask you first."
"...Too many?"
Chen Pingping was slightly stunned, as if he didn't expect Fan Xian to answer like this.
Fan Xian secretly glanced at Chen Pingping's expression, and couldn't help laughing in his heart.
The famous and powerful Chen Pingping would actually be as worried as he is now.
It's really rare!
Fan Xian teased in his heart, but said seriously on his face: "Although there are many methods, in general, there are actually only two ways. One is to rely on various means to let the body's flesh and blood heal and regenerate, which is what people often say 'living dead, flesh and bones'..."
Chen Pingping resisted the urge to agree, and asked calmly: "What about the second way?"
Fan Xian blinked his eyes and said solemnly: "Flesh and blood are weak, and machinery ascends!"
