Gao Lishi found Li Xiu, which was expected by Li Xiu.

"Your Highness must have heard of what happened in Baoningfang!"

Li Xiu nodded, "Almost everyone in the city knows it!"

"What do you think about this?"

“Which side?”

"What does Your Highness think is the reason for this incident?" Gao Lishi asked carefully.

"Mr. Gao, please be honest. If you use Li Mao to deal with this matter, you should know what the consequences will be."

Gao Lishi sighed, "I also knew he would make mistakes, but I didn't expect him to make such a big mess."

"Gao Weng, the root cause is his employment. He pieced together a team of more than 100 people in a very short time, either a thief or a murderer. Will these people obey Li Mao's orders? No, they will only kill people as they please. In addition, Li Mao has no brains. Since Li Wu appears, they should retreat all of them to avoid accidental injuries. But he did not realize the consequences at all, so one after another, and the vicious incident that happened last night was inevitable."

"What Your Highness means is that Li Mao's improper employment, misjudgment, and poor command, which led to the serious incident last night?"

“That’s right!”

Gao Lishi pondered for a moment and said, "The emperor suspected that other forces were involved..."

Li Xiu's heart was thrilled and said without saying a word: "Can Mr. Gao be more specific?"

"The emperor suspected that Li Xun intervened!"

"Of course Li Xun intervenes. Isn't Li Cui's appearance at the scene the best evidence?"

"The emperor suspected that Li Xun had set up a trap and let Li Mao get in."

Li Xiu smiled bitterly and shook his head, "The emperor is expelling Li Mao!"

After pausing, Li Xiu raised his eyes and looked at Gao Lishi and said coldly: "The emperor is doubting me!"

Gao Lishi was silent for a while and said, "In the Luoyang incident, His Highness set up a trap for Li Mao to get in. The emperor remembers You Xin. It is normal for him to have such an idea. The key is that as long as His Highness does not participate in this matter, all speculations will be broken without attack. The emperor has issued an order to let the three departments jointly try this case. I fully believe that Your Highness is innocent."

Li Xiu said lightly: "The most serious problem now is not the reason for investigation, but how to face the strong counterattack of the Regent. Never turn the main and secondary downside down."

"So the emperor asked me to discuss with His Highness how to deal with the Regent?"

"The emperor suspected that it was the trap I set, but he wanted me to do things for him, so why didn't he consider my feelings?"

"Your Highness, if the Regent fights back strongly, it will cause civil strife if it is serious. It will not be overwhelmed by the collapse of the nest. It is related to Your Highness's personal interests. I hope Your Highness can contribute to the Emperor, and the Emperor will definitely remember His Highness's achievements in the future."

Of course, Li Xiu had considered various consequences. He pondered for a moment and said, "Has the emperor considered how to deal with Xiaowuwei and Jinwuwei?"

"The Jinwu Guard has no big problem. Although Sun Nanhao, the general of the Jinwu Guard, has no real power, he has a great influence in the Jinwu Guard. Besides, the left and right generals of the Jinwu Guard Yang Qingong and Zhao Jiandu are controlled by the emperor and the regent at the same time. The only thing the emperor cannot control is the five thousand troops defending Xingqing Palace, but after all, there are only five thousand people. Don't worry. The emperor is mainly worried about the 100,000 Guards, which are loyal to the regent. If they revolt, the trouble will be great."

Li Xiu smiled and said, "There are three generals in the Xiao Guard Army. All three of them are one mind? Over the years, the emperor has not contacted them?"

Gao Lishi had to smile bitterly and said, "Your Highness also saw that the emperor had indeed contacted them. Dugu Zhao and Jin Wenxuan did not directly refuse the emperor's favor and left room for room, but the general Chen Feng was tough and said that if we try to win him over, he would kill people. So we infer that if something happened, Dugu Zhao and Jin Wenxuan would keep neutral. It would be hard to say that Chen Feng was very risky!"

"Since that's the case, what can I do?"

"I hope you can send your subordinate Pei Min to assassinate Chen Feng."

Li Xiu said coldly: "The emperor has no one to send?"

"Your Highness, we recommend Pei Min. At the critical moment, your Highness must be responsible!"

Li Xiu was silent for a moment, nodded and agreed, "Okay! I can agree."

Gao Lishi was excited and said, "What advice does Your Highness have for the Regent?"

"As for the Regent, my principle is to either not cause trouble or make things worse. For this reason, I have two suggestions. First, the emperor can re-appoint the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue and the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, let the Political Affairs Hall vote and get the financial power..."

"Please wait a moment!"

Gao Lishi interrupted Li Xiu, "Will the first point you say about Your Highness, will the Political Affairs Hall pass?"

"At this critical moment, Gao Weng thinks Chen Xilie and Li Linfu will vote against it?"

Gao Lishi nodded. He understood what Li Xiu meant, but it actually depends on whether Li Linfu and Chen Xilie knew the current affairs at critical moments.

"Please continue!"

"The regent prince died. I believe that Xingqing Palace will try its best to hide the regent, for fear that his condition will worsen. At this time, Li Xun will definitely try his best to seize power. I suggest that the emperor might as well do two-pronged approach."

"How to do two-pronged approach, first, we must stabilize Li Xun and negotiate with him to support him in order to encourage him to make concessions. For example, forcing him to give up the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Personnel, we can give up the Ministry of Works or the Ministry of Rites to him. This is a kind of negotiation. Secondly, the emperor should secretly contact King Ning Li Lin to express his support for him to take office. I believe that the Princess of the Regent will definitely support him. If Li Lin gets the military talisman, the conflict in Xingqing Palace will intensify."

Gao Lishi's heart was as clear as the sun was clear, and he suddenly realized.

The regent's original wife Yuan did not leave any descendants. Changsun, who became the princess, gave birth to two sons for the regent, Li Feng and the third son Li Lin. The regent's other favorite concubine Liu also gave birth to two sons, Li Xun and Li Cui, the princess Changsun and Liu, have always been incompatible, which led to Liu's stroke moving out of Xingqing Palace and living with his son Li Xun.

If Li Xun takes power, it would be a catastrophe for the Changsun clan, so the Changsun clan will definitely support Li Lin with all his might, and the power struggle in Xingqing Palace will become fierce.

Once flesh and blood are destroyed, the Regent Li Chengqi will not be able to save his life even if he has ten lives.

Gao Lishi sighed in his heart that only Li Xiu could do it if he could make the defeated chess again.

Gao Lishi immediately said goodbye and returned to the palace...

The Baoningfang incident also spread to Xingqing Palace, but under the strict seal of Liu Fengting, the general manager of Xingqing Palace, the news did not reach the inner palace.

When the princess Changsun heard the news that her son Li Feng was dead, it was like a bolt from the blue, but she did not dare to tell her husband, so she could only hide in her room and cry.

At noon, Changsun sat in the room and cried silently. At this time, a personal palace maid reported at the door, "Princess, General Manager Liu asked for a meeting!"

Changsun wiped away the tears and nodded, "Let him come in!"

The disagreement between Changsun and Liu Fengting is an open secret of Xingqing Palace. The reason is that Liu Fengting was named Liu Yu before entering the palace, and was of the same clan as her favorite concubine Liu, and was considered her distant brother. Therefore, during the long-term struggle between Changsun and Liu, Liu Fengting has always stood on the side of Liu.

But the Regent favored Liu Fengting very much and appointed him as the chief executive, which really left Changsun helpless.

After a moment, Liu Fengting walked in quickly and knelt down to salute, "I wish the princess a blessing!"

Changsun said coldly: "Mr. Liu, do you think I still have any questions?"

Liu Fengting said calmly: "The princess's peace or uneasiness is not about the overall situation, but whether the prince's peace or not is related to the country's danger. No one wants to happen yesterday's tragedy, but since it has happened, we have to face the reality. We must protect the prince's health. I wonder if the princess agrees?"

"I understand what you mean, I won't tell the prince about this!"

"Thanks to the princess for understanding the righteousness. We also know that after the prince's arm fracture, his physical condition is very bad. If the prince hears the bad news, the consequences will be unimaginable. However, if Xingqing Palace has no backbone, it is likely to be completely suppressed by the emperor. The old slave begs the princess to support King Shu!"

Changsun glanced at Liu Fengting in disgust and said lightly: "I never ask about things outside. Manager Liu doesn't have to ask me about such things."

"Since that's the case, please give the Regent's Seal and Military Talisman to His Highness Shu!"

Li Chengqi was seriously ill and always asked the princess to take charge of the seal talismans for him, mainly the seal of the Regent and the military talismans that mobilized the Guards. If Li Xun wanted to take control of the power of the Regent, he had to get the seal of the King and the military talismans.

Changsun said coldly: "The seal talisman was handed over to me for custody. Without his orders, I will not give it to anyone. Even if the prince wants it, I will not give it to him. Manager Liu, this has nothing to do with you. Do your own business!"

Changsun directly rejected Liu Fengting, and at the same time reminded Liu Fengting that you are just the chief supervisor of the palace and do not do anything that exceeds power.

Liu Fengting heard the decisiveness in the princess' tone and had no choice but to retreat.

The Regent is not dead yet! He dares not do anything randomly yet.
