The Qingfeng Restaurant in Pingkangfang is also the industry of the Changsun family. Since Changsun Wuji was overthrown by Wu Zetian, the Changsun family has become low-key. There is almost no Changsun family in the court. The Changsun family has moved into business and acquired countless shops in Chang'an. The Qingfeng cloth store was the product of that time.

In Chang'an, as long as you see shops, Qingfeng restaurants, inns and the like at Qingfeng, it is the industry of the Changsun family.

In fact, not only the Changsun family, but also the entire Guanlong nobles, after being cruelly suppressed by Wu Zetian, basically devoted themselves to business.

The turning point occurred when the Sect-Slaying Change fifteen years ago. The Guanlong nobles led by the Yuan family supported the restoration of the Supreme Emperor, while the famous families led by the Pei family, Wei family and Cui family supported the Emperor Li Longji.

It was the stalemate between the two factions that led to the compromise between the Supreme Emperor and the Emperor, who obtained the ruling power as a regent.

With the absolute authority of the Supreme Emperor, in the past ten years, it was difficult for Emperor Li Longji to leave the palace, so he basically spent it in wasted time in the palace.

It was not until the Supreme Emperor passed away and the second generation of Regent took power and the regent's authority was reduced that Li Longji's situation improved slightly.

The re-emergence of the Guanlong nobles was also after the Supreme Emperor took power. The Yuan family was the most powerful, followed by the Dugu family and the Changsun family, both of which won the title of general.

Among the Guanlong nobles, the Dou family was an exception. The Dou family supported the emperor and was suppressed. It was not until the Yuan family fell this year that Dou Wen was named the General of the Right Guard.

The Changsun family benefited from their marriage with the Regent Li Chengqi. Li Chengqi's original wife was the daughter of the Yuan family. She died early. Li Chengqi later married the daughter of the Changsun family and was named Princess.

The current head of the Changsun family is Changsun Nanhao, and he is named General of Jinwu Guard. Like other generals, the General of Jinwu Guard has a false title and is called a high-ranking retirement official.

The real power of the 10,000 Jinwu Guard troops is in the hands of the left and right generals, responsible for maintaining Chang'an and public order. Both Jinwu Guard generals were appointed by the Supreme Emperor and were loyal to the Regent.

Although Changsun Nanhao had no real power, his son Changsun Hongwu served as the General of the Nine Gate and had three thousand troops in his hands. His eldest son Changsun Hongren served as the Military Weapon Supervisor Shaoqing, with a high position.

At this time, on the second floor of Qingfeng Restaurant, the Regent Prince Li Feng secretly met with Changsun Hongren.

Changsun Hongren was about 30 years old. He was in his prime and was appointed as the military weapon supervisor by Li Chengqi last year. It caused controversy in the court at that time. Changsun Hongren was neither a professional background nor a deep qualification, and was so young. He got such a high position just because he was the nephew of the Regent Princess, which really made the prime ministers of the Zhengshitang dissatisfied.

However, although Changsun Hongren was not qualified, he was indeed smart and capable, and had a clear mind. He poured a glass of wine for Li Yan and said with a smile: "The matter is not that serious. There is basically no basis for all kinds of rumors in the court. Changing a prince is not as easy as a maid. You are not only the Changsun family, but also so many Guanlong nobles support you. The Regent will consider it. Unless he wants to give up these support, it doesn't matter. Everyone turns to support the emperor, and at least half of the army will mutiny."

Li Feng sighed, "My father's health has been getting worse in the past few months, and he even fell and broke his arm in the palace. This was an incredible thing in the past. What made us even more worried is that he would suddenly fall into a coma, one or two hours, and at the worst, he couldn't wake up for a day. We are all worried that he would leave suddenly, but at this time, his father wanted to change his crown prince. Isn't this causing civil strife?"

Changsun Hongren pondered for a moment and said, "Do you think the Regent will leave suddenly, it is so serious?"

Li Wen nodded, "This is not my personal feeling, it is said by the imperial physician, and we all saw it with our own eyes. My father cannot drink, cannot insomnia, cannot be excited. He cannot control his diet and his body cannot control his body."

Changsun Hongren pondered for a moment and said, "You are not too nervous either. My father will persuade the Regent not to create internal disputes at critical moments, and advise him to act cautiously, and believe it will be effective."

"I also hope my father calms down. I will ask my uncle and his elder brother to help you with this matter."

Changsun Hongren smiled and said, "There is another thing I want to tell you, depending on whether you are interested. A few days ago, Li Mao recruited a group of samurai. My father arranged for a female warrior to apply for the recruitment, but he was recruited and he would serve as Li Mao's female warrior leader."

Li Feng sighed, "I still have the heart to care about Li Mao now!"

Changsun Hongren looked at Li Wen for a moment, and then said lightly: "Okay! I'll go back and report to my father now."

............

Changsun Hongren hurried back to the mansion and met his father Changsun Nanhao.

Changsun Nanhao was about fifty years old. He was only 35 years old when the Sect Rebellion was in the past, and he was just a guard general. However, his father Changsun Pingxiao and Yuan Biao were directly involved in the mutiny, but he did not have the outstanding achievements of Yuan Biao. Afterwards, Changsun Pingxiao was also named General of the Zuo Xiaogu.

His father passed away four years ago, and Changsun Nanhao took over the position of head of the family and was successfully appointed as the General of Jinwu Guard.

However, this year the Changsun family is relatively low-key because something happened to the Yuan family. Although the Changsun family is not as arrogant as the Yuan family, and has not controlled Yangzhou's finance and taxation for ten years, Changsun Nanhao still smelled an unusual smell.

The Yuan family has been arrogant for more than ten years and has nothing to do before. Why did something happen this year?

There is also King Xue Li Ye who has been rampant in Luoyang for more than ten years and has never had a crisis. He also fell this year.

Is this just a coincidence?

Obviously not. Changsun Nanhao saw it thoroughly. This is the inevitable result of the rise and fall of the imperial power and the regent power.

The era of the Regent, which lasted for fifteen years, is probably about to end.

"Father!" The voice of the eldest son, Changsun Hongren, came from outside the door.

"Come in!"

Changsun Hongren quickly walked into the room, knelt down and saluted, "Please pay tribute to my father!"

"Get up!"

The eldest grandson Sun Hongren stood up and stood with his hands down.

Changsun Nanhao asked, "Did you meet Li Feng?"

Changsun Hongren nodded, "The child just broke up with him."

"What did he say?"

"He was worried that the Regent wanted to change the prince, which made him restless, and he hoped we could help him."

Changsun Nanhao frowned, "Is it a rumor or is it true that the Regent wants to change the prince?"

"It seems like a rumor, but the kid thinks it is true."

"Why?"

"The main reason is that Li Xun has officially represented the Regent at the Political Affairs Hall to attend the meetings of the Political Affairs Hall. This is one of the most important powers of the Regent's Crown Prince. Unless Li Chengqi wants to set up two Regent's Crown Princes, he will not do this!"

Changsun Nanhao nodded. If he really gave Li Xun the qualification to attend the Political Affairs Hall, then changing the prince should not be groundless, and most people would think so.

But Changsun Nanhao saw more deeply and thoroughly.

Changsun Nanhao pondered for a moment and asked, "What do you think of Li Feng?"

Changsun Hongren shook his head, "It's very mediocre, and brainless."

“Such a low rating?”

Changsun Nanhao asked with a smile: "Why?"

"He didn't know the importance of it, but he easily leaked the most secret information to me."

Changsun Nanhao sat upright and asked with interest: "What top secret information?"

"The regent's true condition is that the court only knows that the regent is not in good health, but no one knows how bad it is. Even the prime ministers are asking for information, but there is no news. In order to cover up the true condition, the regent doesn't even see outsiders, but Li Feng actually told me casually. The child was really shocked at that time."

"What's the situation with the Regent?"

"The condition is very serious and it is easy to fall into a coma. A little emotional, or even drinking or resting poorly, will worsen the condition. The Imperial Doctor and the Regent's family are worried that he will die suddenly."

"It's so serious!"

Changsun Nanhao's expression became serious. He did not expect that Li Chengqi's condition had become so serious that he had reached the point of sudden death.

"You keep talking!"
