The waste prince is so fierce

Chapter 167 Planning Jiangning

Li Quan warned, "Master Zhang, I have sent someone to notify the Imperial Hospital and ask the Imperial Physician to come and treat you. You must not faint later."

"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness."

"Master Zhang, please take a rest first."

Li Quan left.

Zhang Bao lay on the bed with a wry smile on his face.

"Liu Xun, you are so cruel!"

Zhang Bao murmured.

He was seriously injured and was carried into Li's house.

Li Quan accompanied him personally and ordered the imperial physicians from the Imperial Medical Bureau to diagnose and treat Zhang Bao's injuries.

Zhang Bao's injuries were extremely serious, with a broken chest.

Fortunately, he was protected by armor, otherwise Zhang Bao would have died without a doubt.

Although he was not in danger of death, he fell into a coma due to excessive blood loss.

This lasted for three or four hours before Zhang Bao finally woke up.

"Where is your highness?"

"Your Highness is in the side hall." Li Quan was standing outside. "Master Zhang, are you awake? How do you feel?"

Zhang Bao sat on the bed, his face pale as paper. He coughed, pulling the wound, causing unbearable pain.

"Your Majesty, everything is fine."

Zhang Bao said slowly: "Thank you for saving me, Your Highness. I have no way to repay you."

Li Quan smiled faintly and said, "Master Zhang, you don't have to be polite. Liu Xun is a man who bullies the weak and fears the strong. As long as I am here, I believe he can't cause any trouble.

But Lord Zhang, if you dare to infringe upon Liu Xun's interests, Liu Xun will never let it go."

Zhang Bao smiled bitterly, "This matter cannot be blamed on others. I was confused for a moment and fell into Liu Xun's evil scheme."

"Master Zhang, you have been dealing with Liu Xun for a long time, don't you know him well?"

"Your humble servant..."

Zhang Bao sighed.

Li Quan continued, "Master Zhang, the most important thing now is to find Liu Xun's fault. Only in this way can Liu Xun be brought down. As long as Liu Xun falls into the abyss, the court will surely use virtuous people instead of focusing on military men as it does now."

Zhang Bao nodded and said, "I understand. Your Highness, don't worry. I won't do anything rash."

"Ok!"

Li Quan smiled with satisfaction and said, "Master Zhang, you need to have a good rest. I'm leaving first. Tell someone to notify me if anything happens."

"it is good!"

After seeing Li Quan off, Zhang Bao sighed.

"Young master, don't worry, you will be fine." Zhang Chun stood beside the bed and comforted Zhang Bao.

Zhang Bao said, "Chun'er, we are now tied together. No matter what happens, we cannot separate."

"I know that I will never be separated from you, sir."

Zhang Bao closed his eyes and rested.

Zhang Chun gently covered Zhang Bao with a thin blanket and then quietly retreated.

Li Quan walked into the side hall.

He frowned and muttered to himself: "It seems that the situation in Jiangning City is more serious than I thought!"

"Zhang Hu, how is the investigation on Liu Xun going?"

Zhang Hu stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, what Liu Xun did in Jiangning City is exactly what Lord Zhang said. Among the people, he is known as the living king of hell!"

"Living King of Hell? Humph! I want to see who is more powerful, him, the living King of Hell, or me, the real prince!"

Listening to Zhang Hu's report, Li Quan's face suddenly darkened.

"Liu Xun must be eliminated. Otherwise, he will be a disaster if he stays here!"

Zhang Hu hesitated and said, "Your Highness, Liu Xun is the county magistrate after all. If you want to kill him, you must have a reasonable excuse."

"Hmph, then slowly look for an opportunity. As long as Liu Xun dares to break the law, I will find a way to kill him!"

Li Quan promised solemnly.

Seeing this, Zhang Hu stopped trying to persuade him.

"By the way, you mentioned Zhang Bao just now. What do you think of Zhang Bao?"

"Uh—Master Zhang?"

Zhang Hu was stunned.

Li Quan laughed and scolded, "Don't try to figure out what I'm thinking. I won't fall for it."

Zhang Hu chuckled, "Your Highness, I think that Lord Zhang is a smart man. He knows who is a friend and who is an enemy, and he also knows who to show weakness to and ask for help."

"Oh? Zhang Bao is very smart?"

"Of course!"

Zhang Hu said solemnly: "Mr. Zhang has read the books of sages since he was young, and is also familiar with the art of war. Mr. Zhang is not only smart, but also very disciplined and polite.

Having been with Liu Xun for so many years, he had already learned to read people's expressions. However, due to Liu Xun's special background, Master Zhang was unable to change him. "

Li Quan nodded and said, "Liu Xun's influence among the people is getting stronger and stronger. It can be seen that Zhang Bao is a good official who is dedicated to serving the people..."

Zhang Hu said, "It is precisely because of this that I feel that Lord Zhang is not a simple person."

"Oh? You mean, Zhang Bao still has a trump card?"

Zhang Hu shook his head and said, "I don't know. Perhaps, Lord Zhang has his own considerations. However, I think Lord Zhang is definitely not as simple as he appears. At least, his loyalty to Your Majesty is beyond doubt."

Li Quan laughed.

"Zhang Hu, I didn't expect you to have such a sharp eye."

"Your Highness, you are too kind. Lord Zhang is indeed very capable and smart enough to be trained. However, I think that Lord Zhang is not suitable to be an official."

"Oh why?"

Zhang Hu smiled and said, "I am just making a wild guess. But if Lord Zhang doesn't like being an official, Your Highness can change his position."

"Zhang Chun, what does Master Zhang like to do on weekdays?"

"Mr. Zhang basically does nothing on weekdays. Unless he goes on a civil inspection, he stays at home most of the time."

"Oh!"

Li Quan narrowed his eyes slightly, with a gleam of light in his eyes.

He asked, "Zhang Hu, who do you think is better, me or Lord Zhang?"

Zhang Hu bowed quickly and said, "Your Highness is a descendant of a noble family, so you are naturally gifted. Lord Zhang is only a civil official, and in terms of talent, he is not qualified to compare with Your Highness."

Li Quan snorted coldly, "You are really good at flattering people!"

Zhang Hu chuckled twice.

He said, "Your Highness, Lord Zhang does not want to be associated with us. If Lord Zhang is willing to serve Your Highness, Your Highness will definitely be able to recruit Lord Zhang into your service."

Li Quan raised his eyebrows and said, "Haha, you are really good at flattering people. Okay, go call Liu Xun over. I have something to ask him."

"Yes!"

Zhang Hu responded, and then slowly retreated.

Li Quan sat in a chair and drank tea.

A moment later, Liu Xun arrived in a hurry.

"Your humble servant greets His Highness."

"No gift!"

Liu Xun stood up and stood respectfully in front of Li Quan.

Li Quan looked at Liu Xun and asked with a smile: "Liu Xun, do you know why I asked you to come here tonight?"

"I don't know!"

Liu Xun lowered his head.

Li Quan said with a smile: "I asked you to come here tonight because I hope you will resign from your official position."

"what?"

Liu Xun exclaimed.

"Your Highness, why is this happening?"

"I have already ordered people to investigate. In Jiangning City, you are a person who can cover up everything with one hand. In fact, many officials in Jiangning City have been secretly won over by you."
