To Li Mao's surprise, in just two days, his men recommended nearly fifty warriors, and after the martial arts preliminary selection, twenty-nine people passed.

In the study, Liu Quan carefully checked a thick stack of information, which was the resume of each warrior.

Li Mao handed Liu Quan three of his resumes, "Look at these three people, I'm going to reuse them."

Liu Quan took the resume and asked, "Is this man named Li Hong actually a monk?"

"He was originally a monk from Shaolin Temple. He was kicked out of the temple in violation of the precepts and joined the Maitreya Cult in Qingzhou. Later, he fled to Jianghuai with Sun Bodhisattva and became the general security manager of the Maitreya Cult in various salt fields."

"Your Highness wants to use him as the leader?"

Li Mao nodded, "He is one of the eight elders of the Maitreya Sect. He has high abilities and strong martial arts skills. He is a rare talent. I hope he can be used by me. From the current point of view, he is most suitable to serve as the leader."

Liu Quan turned to the next person and asked curiously: "This person is Yang Rong, is he a woman?"

"She is the female leader of the Ghost Mother Warrior of the Maitreya Sect. She comes with Li Hong. She can also help me contact more than a dozen samurai warriors. I plan to let her be the samurai leader."

Liu Quan nodded and saw the third person again, "There are actually warriors from the Yuan Mansion!"

"This Luo Qiushan was recommended by Wang Le. He was originally a thief from the Jianghuai River. Many warriors have heard of him. The thief from the Qiushan Flying Thieves was included in the Yuan Mansion five years ago. He is one of the five first-level warriors in the Yuan Mansion. He has outstanding light skills. When the Yuan Mansion is destroyed, he also fled. He has just returned to Chang'an these two days."

Speaking of this, Li Mao said in confusion: "Sir, too, came from the Yuan Mansion, you should know this person!"

Liu Quan smiled bitterly and said, "I am not in Yuanbiao's mansion, but in Yuanbiao's mansion, my brother Yuanbiao. There are no warriors in Yuanbiao's mansion, so I know nothing about the warriors in Yuanbiao's mansion."

"This man has a very high light skills and has been in the Yuan Mansion for five years. He understands the rules of wealthy families very well. I plan to let him be the supervisor and become one of the three deputy commanders."

Liu Quan guessed that Li Xiu would take this opportunity to install an inner responder among the warriors, but he didn't know who this inner responder would be?

The way to avoid accidental injury is to pass all the information of the warrior.

In fact, he found that there were loopholes in the information of several people, such as the female warrior Yang Rong brought it to Li Hong, but the information shows that Li Hong lived in Qingzhou in the past three months and also came to Chang'an not long ago.

Yang Rong has lived in Jiangning County, Runzhou in the past few months. She just came to Chang'an from Runzhou not long ago.

Is it possible that a coincidence?

But Liu Quan didn’t want to say it out loud, what if Yang Rong was sent by Li Xiu?

"After reading these information, there is no problem with the information, but I don't know if these resumes were fabricated or not."

"It should be no big problem. Everyone has a guarantee and I will observe them slowly in the future."

Liu Quan asked again with a smile: "Your Highness met with Li Cui yesterday, how did you talk?"

"It's very good. Li Cui is simple-minded. He only wants to take out his heart when he tastes it. We plan to go hunting the day after tomorrow. Maybe we will stay for two days before we come back. Do you want to go with me?"

Liu Quan shook his head, "I won't go. There are still many chores I haven't handled these days, so I just hurry up and handle it."

"Then go again later!"

Liu Quan secretly hated her heart. Li Mao never asked his family from beginning to end. He probably left his son's visit to the Imperial Academy.

.........

The dispute over the new prime minister has been in a stalemate, and neither the emperor nor the regent are willing to sign and seal the appointment letter made by the other party.

This is related to the dominance of the Political Affairs Hall, and neither side will give in.

This is the first time since the Sect-Settlement Fifteen years ago. In the era when the Supreme Emperor was in power, the Supreme Emperor even controlled the appointments of four prime ministers. Li Longji only said that one prime minister was struggling to support it.

On the eve of the death of the Supreme Emperor, in order to appease Li Longji, the Supreme Emperor made concessions. Zhang Jiuling and Pei Yaoqing took office, causing the Political Affairs Hall to appear in three to two. Although it was still dominated by the Regent, Li Longji already had a little say.

You should know that the Political Affairs Hall is the birthplace of all imperial edicts. The imperial edicts are drafted by the Secretariat. The five ministers of the Political Affairs Hall voted on, and then handed over to the Regent and the Emperor to issue the imperial edict. Only when the Regent and the Emperor oppose at the same time will the imperial edict be re-printed. If the Regent passes, the Emperor's imperial edict is the same form, and it is useless even if it does not agree.

This is the fundamental reason why the Regent has always firmly controlled the power of the court.

Now there is one prime minister in the Political Affairs Hall, and the minority cannot obey the majority. If a compromise cannot be reached, the imperial edict can only be submitted to the Regent and the Emperor for consultation and resolution.

For Li Longji, he had a say in the imperial decree. He could disagree, reject the imperial edict, and return it to the government office to re-produce it. Even if the Regent approves it, it would be useless.

In fact, even maintaining the status quo is very beneficial to Li Longji. If Pei Kuan can become prime minister, then Li Longji will completely control the government.

This is also the reason why Li Longji refused to make concessions, and neither side could afford to lose.

In Xingqing Palace, Li Chengqi lay down again. This time he fell and broke his left arm.

This is a dangerous signal. Li Chengqi has never broken his arm since he was a child. More importantly, Li Chengqi knew how he broke it. When he went down the stairs, his eyes suddenly turned black and he stepped on the air.

"Father, why don't you compromise with the emperor!" Li Feng whispered to his father.

"nonsense!"

Li Chengqi glared fiercely, "The removal of Niu Xianke has made a big mistake. Do you want me to leave again? Tell you that as long as you compromise, our leadership in the Political Affairs Hall will be completely finished."

Li Xun next to him sighed and said angrily: "I didn't expect Li Longji to be so shameless, and he was untrustworthy and dismissed Niu Xianke, but he no longer followed the rules. It's really angering!"

Li Chengqi glanced at Li Xun, "You understand what power struggle is now! This is power struggle, you will never let it go. I was careless about dismissing Niu Xianke. Actually, I knew he would do this."

"But my father's health is anxious and uneasy these days, and my father will not be able to hold on!" Li Wen was so anxious that he cried.

Li Chengqi sighed long, "I don't have to worry, but I must not give in. Remember, any compromise is OK, but the compromise of the Zhengshitang will never accept it."

The two brothers nodded repeatedly.

Li Chengqi looked at Li Wen, "Yu'er retreats first, Xun'er and I will say a few more words."

Li Feng's heart skipped a beat. What did his father want to say to Lao Qi?

He didn't dare to refuse to obey, so he had to get up and retreat.

Li Chengqi winked at the eunuchs around him again, and the eunuchs also retreated.

Seeing that there were only father and Lao Qi in the room, Li Feng became more suspicious. A wave of evil fire ran around in his heart. Li Feng wanted to get in through the crack in the door. What was his father talking to Lao Qi?

In the room, Li Chengqi sighed and said, "I am really worried about your brother. His emotions are always full of all kinds of compromises."

"Father, the child feels that appropriate compromise is still needed."

Li Xun carefully considered his father's words, but he didn't know if his father was testing him.

"I didn't say that you should not compromise, but compromise must have principles. Some major issues must not be compromised. For example, the compromise between the prime minister and the country is surrender. It sounds like he is thinking about my body, but in fact he is afraid and wants to solve the problem through compromise."

Li Chengqi's tone was full of disappointment with his eldest son. The eldest son had already disappointed him too much, but today the eldest son proposed to make concessions on the issue of prime minister, which finally made Li Chengqi unable to bear it.

"Father......."

"No! Don't interrupt me, listen to me."

Li Xun knelt in front of his father's sickbed and listened to his father's instructions.

"I don't know how long I can live. I'm very worried that once I go, how will your brother face the storm of Li Longji? He always has to compromise. Once he can't resist it, it's when my descendants die. Li Longji will not let you go. He will send you to the South Courtyard. You will all live long."

"Father, don't be excited!"

"I'm not excited, I'm afraid..."

Li Chengqi held Li Xun's hand and gasped, saying, "Tell me, if I change you as the prince, will you protect your brothers and sisters?"

The opportunity Li Xun was waiting for finally came. He did not hesitate or hesitate, and nodded slowly and said, "I will use my body to block them!"
