Mrs. Li was shocked when she heard the words in the hall. Ever since her father-in-law resigned as prime minister, the Li family has become far worse than before. Especially recently, too many people have looked at their faces and added insult to injury.

The Li family was originally at a high level, but now it has fallen a lot, not to mention falling into the dust.

Even she, a woman at home, could feel the gap, let alone one in the court.

But that thing was just too big.

How many people have done that since ancient times, and how many of them actually succeeded in the end?

Think about the fate of the Zhao family, and then look at the Pan family. If they fail, they will be killed, and even they will be implicated.Compared with the whole family, there is just a slight gap.

The Li family still has a title, and the husband also has an official position in the court. Maybe when the new emperor comes to power, he will continue to pay attention to the Li family.

However, she is just a woman, and no one will listen to her words. If the Li family really has this intention, they must make preparations in advance.

Mrs. Li originally wanted to come to her husband to complain, but she was so frightened that she left in a hurry and had to make arrangements for her children in advance.

The hall fell silent with those words, even though they knew in their hearts that the Li family was unwilling to fall into such despair. If they really got to that point, there would be no way out.

After a while, the third son of the Li family stood up and smashed the tea cup in his hand on the table.

"The second brother is right. Father, eldest brother, we have no way out. Since you resigned, the attitude of those people has changed. Recently, the second brother and I were demoted, and those people dared to laugh in our faces."

"The third brother is right. The emperor has never thought of giving our Li family a way to survive. Although the eldest brother has not been demoted, he is just an idle position now and has no real power in his hands."

"I don't know what will happen to the next generation."

"Brother, you still have a title, but don't you think about it for your son? The title is over once it's in your hands."

"If the seventh prince comes to power, our Li family will become the Duke's palace."

The second and third sons were the most active. Both of them were demoted and the emperor would not use them again.Only if the Seventh Prince comes to power will they have a chance.

Marquis De'an remained silent, seeming to be deep in thought.

After being persuaded by the two younger brothers for a while, the eldest son turned to look at Marquis De'an, "Father, judging from the current situation, the emperor wants to clear the court for the twelfth prince."

The late emperor appointed the Pan family, and the Zhou and Li families were also reused.

Anyone who is trusted by the late emperor can be promoted.

When the late emperor passed away, several major families took control of the court, and their influence affected the whole body.The emperor was still young when he came to the throne and had no way to deal with this situation in the court.

If he wants to secure the throne, he needs to rely on these families.

Those years for the little emperor were really difficult, and his words didn't work at all. The real decision-makers still had to look at the wishes of those families.

If it weren't for the integrity of the Zhou family, the opportunistic plans of the Li family, and the loyalty of the Fang family, the court would have completely fallen into the hands of the Pan family and other close families.

The emperor knew how difficult it was to live in a chaotic court, and he wanted to leave a clean court to his son.

The Li family will never be used again.

Marquis De'an still wanted to consider letting his three sons leave. Why didn't he know this?He knew that if the Li family accepted the emperor's arrangement, they would be able to get through this time safely, and they would still be the Marquis of De'an in the future.

As long as the Li family has no other thoughts, the emperor will not cause trouble to the Li family again.

But the second son is right, there is only one generation left with the title. When the time comes, the Li family will no longer have official positions, and no title. Will the century-old family become a white body?

When he took the position of prime minister, he reached a height that his father had not reached, and suppressed his old enemy Zhou family. He was the most outstanding heir of the Li family in several generations.Now, a hundred years later, he has no shame to go see his ancestors.

"Master Marquis, Mr. An would like to see you."

Hearing this, Marquis De'an raised his eyebrows, and after thinking for a moment, he still asked someone to bring Xiao Sheng in.

Xiao Sheng changed his identity and adopted the identity of Mr. An.

After a while, Xiao Sheng came to Marquis De'an's study and sat across from Marquis De'an with a smile. "Master Marquis, I came here today to ask how the Marquis is thinking."

Marquis De'an stared at Xiao Sheng, "Why the seventh prince?"

Xiao Sheng smiled, "Master Hou, do you know what identity Xiao Che once used?"

"Is he hiding something?"

"The Marquis clearly concluded that Xiao Che was taken away from the palace by Concubine Zhou. Concubine Zhou had no idea what the past was with Xie Qingping, the eldest son of Da Chu Xie, so he asked Da Chu Zhongyong Hou to rush to Rongyang County and bring Xiao Che back, using the second son's The identity is in the name, named Xie Qing'an."

Marquis De'an looked shocked, "Is what the prince said true?"

The Xie family in Da Chu was famous. The Xie family's status in Da Chu was once equivalent to that of the Pan family in the Southern Kingdom.

The Xie family's status in the military even far exceeds the Pan family's prestige in the military.

The Pan family controlled with power, but the soldiers of Da Chu respected the Xie family from the bottom of their hearts.

The Xie family is different from the Pan family. They are loyal to the country and have no second thoughts towards Chu and the royal family.They always rush to the front on the battlefield, and how many descendants are buried in the battlefield.The Pan family's military exploits were obtained by colluding with Cang Guo, but no one in the Pan family died on the battlefield.

Such a Xie family raised the prince of the Southern Kingdom?

"The Xie family probably didn't know Xiao Che's identity at the beginning."

"My lord, do you have any evidence?"

If there is evidence and this matter is revealed, will the emperor and the people of the South still trust Xiao Che so much?

Xiao Sheng shook his head, "No, and Xie Qing'an used this identity to save the current emperor of Chu, and sacrificed his life for his life. Xie Qing'an is already dead."

De'anhou's mind started to spin, and finally he sighed.

With Xiao Che's ability, if he dares to come back in an open and honest manner, he will not leave any traces.It's a pity that if Xiao Che had known about this incident at the beginning, Xiao Che would not have been able to come back, and the court would have been a different place.

"What does the wise king mean when he mentions this?"

"To be honest, Lord Marquis, when I went to Dachu, I had a conflict with Princess Rui. At that time..."

Xiao Sheng added to the story how Pan Hongcai was killed by Yun Shang, and they became enemies from then on.

"The current Princess Rui's name is Yunshang, the legitimate daughter of Yun Cang, the former Right Prime Minister of Chu. Her mother, Xie Miaohui, is the only daughter of Marquis Zhongyong of the Xie family. Marquis Zhongyong liked this granddaughter very much.

Xiao Che was still Xie Qingan at that time, and the two had known each other since they were children.

In the past two years, the Cang Kingdom and Pan's army gathered at the border at the same time. Da Chu was on guard. Cang Kingdom and Nan Kingdom jointly sent troops to Da Chu, and decided to send a princess to marry.

Chu Zhi had just ascended the throne and there was no princess or a royal sister of the right age. Yun Shang offered to marry and was named the Princess of Chang'an. She came to Shangjing to marry into Prince Rui's palace. "

Xiao Sheng recalled that when they got married, he had played a part in helping Xiao Che marry the princess.
