I inherited my grandfather's Tang Dynasty assets.

Chapter 50 Sending a Message to Li Chengqian

"Mr. Chen, Mr. Liu, Lord Fan, Renjie will go home first. You can continue your conversation."

"My lord, this Di Renjie possesses such extraordinary abilities at such a young age; he is truly a child prodigy!"

With Di Renjie gone, the three of them could speak without any restraint. After listening to his analysis, Fan Tao suddenly had a clear understanding of the case and knew what to do next.

"From now on, just call me 'Sir'. 'Sir' sounds really awkward. I'm not an official from the Tang Dynasty."

At this point, Chen Yue narrowed his eyes and suddenly moved closer to him and Liu Boyan.

"Do you have any way to make contact with the Crown Prince?"

"What? Your Highness? My lord, I'm afraid this matter..."

Chen Yue's sudden turn of events startled Fan Tao and Liu Boyan, who quickly shook their heads.

Even if they had elders in their families who held official positions in the court, they would still have no chance of getting close to the crown prince, and their elders would not allow it.

Nowadays, everyone knows that Li Chengqian's limelight has been overshadowed by Prince Wei, and coupled with the Crown Prince's poor reputation, many people see it as a sign that he is about to be deposed, and many people are trying to avoid him.

"This is a token given to me by the Crown Prince. He went to the Shennong Temple a few days ago and said that I could use this token to contact him if I needed anything, but it's not convenient for me to go by myself. Could you please help me think of a way?"

Chen Yue took out the Crown Prince's token and placed it on the table. Fan Tao and Liu Boyan stood up abruptly.

The Crown Prince also went to the Shennong Temple? Why wasn't any word of it leaked out?

"I was going to have Di Renjie assist you in investigating this case, but he is still young and his family may not agree, so I would like to have the Crown Prince do it."

Fan Tao and Liu Boyan both felt like they'd stumbled upon some juicy gossip.

"Sir, I have something I'd like to ask you, may I?"

"Ask away."

Chen Yue took a bite of food. He had met Fan Tao and Liu Boyan several times, and they were both decent people. They were the only ones he could barely call friends since he came to the Tang Dynasty.

"Sir, you should know that His Majesty is quite displeased with the current Crown Prince due to some matters. Now that the Prince of Wei is in power, you have secretly contacted His Highness the Crown Prince. Do you perhaps intend to interfere? If His Majesty finds out, he may blame you."

Fan Tao carefully considered his words, speaking very subtly. Since ancient times, the struggle for the throne in the imperial family has always been accompanied by countless corpses before one could sit on the throne of the supreme ruler.

Chen Yue burst into laughter after hearing this.

"So this is what you wanted to talk about. Not to mention that I am from Penglai and Li Shimin can't do anything to me, do you know that it was he who sent Li Chengqian here?"

He wanted to ask if I could see him, but I declined. Before leaving, Li Chengqian gave me his Crown Prince's token, saying I could go see him anytime. That's why I thought I'd ask you for a favor."

Liu Boyan, who was standing to the side, suddenly understood something.

"My lord, do you mean that His Highness the Crown Prince will smoothly inherit the throne in the future?"

Fan Tao also realized what was happening and immediately looked at Chen Yue. That's right, the person in front of him was the all-powerful Shennong Envoy, who knew everything. If Li Chengqian could really become emperor in the future, this would be the perfect opportunity to make contact with him.

Chen Yue gave a mysterious smile and pointed upwards with his finger.

"The secrets of heaven are unpredictable, but I can guarantee one thing: Prince Wei, Li Tai, will absolutely not ascend the throne."

This answer was also quite subtle. In order to complete the hidden mission, Chen Yue definitely wanted Li Chengqian to become that wise and benevolent ruler, so as to prevent the occurrence of further bloodshed.

But he couldn't guarantee that it would be accomplished. In any case, Li Tai would not become emperor; that was certain.

Compared to Li Chengqian's drastic personality change, becoming somewhat neurotic, Li Tai's ruthless and vicious nature was innate, making it impossible for Li Shimin to make him the crown prince.

Even if it wasn't Li Chengqian, it was still Li Zhi.

Fan Tao and Liu Boyan were unaware of these things; all they knew was that since Chen Yue said he wasn't the King of Wei, he must be the Crown Prince.

Moreover, he just said that His Majesty sent the Crown Prince there, which is enough to show that this eldest son still holds a very high position in his heart.

"My lord, in that case, we two can use this token to deliver a message for you."

The Crown Prince is the only one in the entire Tang Dynasty. Both of them are still young, especially Liu Boyan, whose career has just begun. If they can help Chen Yue build a good relationship with the future Emperor of Tang, it would be an extremely desirable thing.

"Then I'll have to trouble you two."

"Sir, what will become of this young friend of Di Renjie? Can you predict it?"

Liu Boyan always felt that Chen Yue's attitude towards Di Renjie was very unusual. Now, in order to get Di Renjie involved in the case, he was even willing to have the Crown Prince take action, which inevitably aroused suspicion.

Chen Yue suddenly recited a poem.

The clear voice of a fledgling phoenix echoes across the fields.

A bright mirror hangs beside the sun.

[This is not a pen for resolving human disputes]

[He was a minister who upheld the state and the nation's stability.]

Fan Tao and Liu Boyan were both talented men, and the poem wasn't that profound, so they understood it as soon as they heard it.

The young phoenix mentioned in the poem is undoubtedly Di Renjie, whom we just heard. The last three lines describe his future, especially the last line, "He will be a minister who will serve the country and its people."

What a great compliment! You could probably find very few people like this throughout history.

Will that child really achieve such success in the future? He will become a great minister who supports the country!

The two men had no doubt about Chen Yue's words. They exchanged another glance and made up their minds that they would definitely find an opportunity to get in touch with Di Renjie again in the future.

To receive such high praise from Chen Yue, he is definitely a super potential stock.

They were even considering finding a woman from their own tribe to marry into their clan.

"Alright, don't tell anyone about what happened today, lest you reveal a secret that would do us no good."

Both of them looked very serious and gave their assurances in person.

"Rest assured, sir, I will keep this a secret."

Chen Yue asked the shopkeeper for paper and pen, wrote a letter, put it away, and told them to immediately take the Crown Prince's decree and find a way to deliver the letter to Li Chengqian.

Although having the Crown Prince's decree in hand would make it easy for Liu Boyan and Fan Tao to see the Crown Prince, they still had a good discussion after returning.

There are many eyes watching the Crown Prince's palace these days, and they don't want to be discovered, so they need to find a foolproof way to avoid those people's gaze.

The two ultimately decided to start with the "Crown Prince's Palace Office".

This is one of the institutions of the Eastern Palace. Although the Crown Prince's daily necessities are allocated by the central institutions such as the Imperial Household Department, the Imperial Workshops, and the Ministry of Agriculture according to regulations, some things need to be purchased by sending people out.

The Crown Prince's Palace Office was responsible for this matter. Generally, they would make purchases from designated shops, carrying official documents, and this would happen every so often.

If there is something special, he will send someone close to him to secretly purchase it.

It wouldn't be difficult for them to inquire about the people in the Crown Prince's Palace, after all, the Fan and Liu families were prominent families in Chang'an.

It wasn't until after dark, after circling around for a long time, that the two finally managed to contact the Crown Prince's Palace Office. The person on the other end was very surprised when they saw the Crown Prince's token.

After finding out the whole story, he went to the Eastern Palace that very night and told Li Chengqian there the news, along with the letter written by Chen Yue.

"Your Highness, what did the master say?"

Besides Li Chengqian, Du He was also inside. This was the first time Chen Yue had taken the initiative to contact them, so it had to be taken seriously.
