Li Chengqian looked at Chengxin and asked curiously, "Oh? Is there anything else you haven't considered?"

Chengxin took a deep breath and said slowly: "Military power!"

"Military power?" A gleam of light flashed in Li Chengqian's eyes, but then he shook his head.

"As the Crown Prince, matters concerning military power are handled by my father and the generals in the court. What can I do?"

Chengxin smiled slightly, a sly look flashing in his eyes. "Your Highness is absolutely right. As the Crown Prince, it is indeed not appropriate for Your Highness to make friends with military commanders, but…"

Cheng Xin changed the subject and continued, "However, Your Highness is the Crown Prince, and the guards of the Crown Prince's Mansion are also a force that cannot be ignored.

Your Highness, have you ever thought about how to maximize this force to help you?"

Li Chengqian was immediately interested when he heard this: "Oh? What do you think?"

Cheng Xin smiled slightly and said slowly: "Your Highness, the Firearms Battalion of the Princess Guardian's Mansion is now gaining a great reputation in the capital.

Their firearms were extremely powerful, their combat effectiveness was amazing, and they were intimidating.

Your Highness, why don’t you follow the example of the Princess Huguo’s Mansion and set up a firearms battalion in the Prince’s Mansion?

In this way, His Highness's strength will surely increase greatly, which will be a great help both to the court and to the future."

After hearing this, Li Chengqian's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise and doubt.

He pondered for a moment and said slowly, "Establishing a firearms battalion? This is a serious matter and requires careful consideration.

The Firearms Battalion of the Princess Guardian's Residence was bestowed upon me by my father. If I act rashly, I'm afraid I'll be criticized."

Seeing this, Chengxin hurriedly advised, "Your Highness is absolutely right, but if this is accomplished, it will have immeasurable benefits for your future.

Your Highness, you can do this, this, and then this again, and finally report this matter to His Majesty, who will then surely grant your consent."

After hearing Chengxin's plan, Li Chengqian was shocked. "Is it really okay to stage an assassination like this?"

"Your Highness, if you want to accomplish great things, why bother with trivial details!" Chengxin's expression was extremely firm, and his words revealed decisiveness.

"If not, how can we prove to His Majesty that the guards around His Highness are insufficient and then request the establishment of a firearms battalion?"

Li Chengqian was silent for a moment, weighing the pros and cons in his mind.

Although Chengxin's plan is risky, if it succeeds, it will undoubtedly provide him with a powerful force.

He looked up at Chengxin, his eyes gleaming with determination, "Okay, I'll do as you say and prepare for this 'assassination'.

However, this matter must be carefully planned and no mistakes can be made.”

Chengxin was delighted when she heard this. "Don't worry, Your Highness. I will leave this matter to you. I will not let you down."

The plan was decided, and the two went their separate ways, each busy with their own things.

Chengxin secretly arranged many matters of the "assassination", and Li Chengqian went to Ganlu Palace again the next day.

After dealing with the day's court memorials, Li Chengqian took a deep breath and spoke aloud, each word ringing out like a resounding clatter:

"Gentlemen, I have a proposal. To more effectively promote education and cultivate the pillars of our nation, I intend to nationalize Mingda College."

When these words were spoken, everyone in the room was shocked.

Mingda College is, after all, the private property of the Princess Protector of the Country, and this move will undoubtedly cause quite a stir.

After Li Chengqian finished speaking, there was silence in Ganlu Palace, with only the palace lanterns hanging in the court swaying gently, making subtle sounds.

The officials looked at each other in bewilderment. They knew that this proposal was of great importance as it involved the private property of the Princess Protector of the Country. If they were not careful, it could cause disputes within the royal family.

A senior minister broke the silence. He slowly stood up, his voice cautious:

"Your Highness, Mingda College is the hard work of the Princess Protector of the Nation. Has the Princess consented to this move?"

Li Chengqian smiled slightly, his expression calm: "I naturally understand the importance of Mingda College.

It is for this reason that I feel it should be nationalized so that it can play a better role.

As for Sizi, I will personally communicate with her. I believe the princess will understand and support my decision."

"Then Your Highness, please obtain the consent of the Princess Protector of the Country before discussing this matter with us." The senior minister spoke in an earnest tone, and the officials nodded in agreement.

Li Chengqian sighed inwardly, he knew this step was necessary.

Although the Princess Protector of the Country has never participated in court meetings, her influence in the court cannot be underestimated, and Mingda College is indeed her hard work.

If we want to successfully nationalize the college, we must first get her support.

"You are all right. I will personally go to the Princess Guardian's residence and discuss this matter in detail with Sizi."

Li Chengqian made a solemn promise, while at the same time he was thinking about how to convince the little princess.

After leaving the court, Li Chengqian did not stay and went directly to the Princess Huguo's Mansion.

Along the way, he was thinking about how to explain his ideas to the little princess and how to explain the benefits of nationalizing Mingda College.

Halfway through the journey, Li Chengqian looked up and his eyes were suddenly attracted by a uniquely shaped plank road in the air.

This aerial plank road was specially built by the little princess to facilitate travel to and from the palace. Normally, apart from the little princess and her confidants, few others have the opportunity to set foot on it.

He thought that if he could go directly to the Princess Huguo's Mansion through this plank road, he could not only avoid the bustling city but also reduce unnecessary disturbances.

You can also overlook the scenery of the capital city on the way and appreciate this unique architectural wonder.

So, Li Chengqian ordered to change the route and planned to go to the Princess Huguo's Mansion via the aerial plank road.

However, when he arrived at the entrance of the plank road, he was stopped by a group of guards in armor and with solemn expressions.

"Your Highness, please stay." The leading guard bowed, but his tone was firm.

"This plank road is for the private use of the Princess Protector of the Nation. No one is allowed to enter without the Princess's permission."

Li Chengqian frowned slightly. As the crown prince, he usually moved freely in the palace. How could he have been stopped like this?

But he also knew that the rules of the Princess Guardian's Mansion were extraordinary, and these guards were the little princess's confidants and were extremely loyal.

"I am the Crown Prince, and I have urgent matters of state to discuss with the Protector Princess. Please inform the Princess immediately and allow me to pass."

Li Chengqian said in a deep voice, his tone revealing a hint of unquestionable majesty.

However, the guards only exchanged glances briefly but showed no signs of backing down.

The leading guard bowed respectfully again, but his tone was firm: "Your Highness, we are responsible for guarding the place and cannot leave without permission. Please forgive us, Your Highness.

If Your Highness truly has an urgent matter of state, you can send a guard to notify the Princess via another route, and the Princess will personally decide whether to allow you to pass."

Li Chengqian was furious when he heard this. As the crown prince, how could he have ever been treated so lightly?
