Li Chen did not insist on calling him great-uncle, nor did he address him by his official position, but called him Mr. Li in an intermediate way.
The problem with the title was perfectly resolved. Li Canglan took the tea cup with both hands, put it to his lips and took a sip.
Putting down the tea cup, Li Canglan said: "It is indeed good tea."
Li Chen smiled and said: "If Mr. Li likes it, just take some back later."
Li Canglan waved his hand and said: "A gentleman does not take away what others like. How can an old minister easily take the old tea collected by His Highness?"
"It's not a very good thing. It was a thank you gift from Li Yinhu when he made him king."
Li Chen's words made Li Canglan, who was about to pick it up and take a second sip, freeze in place.
There are no secrets in the capital.
What's more, today Li Yinhu walked to Jingshan to pray for blessings, which later led to the death of thousands of people.
Now the whole capital is going to be turned upside down just because of this incident.
Although Li Canglan came in a hurry, he also knew that the prince and King Zhao were completely at odds today, making the scene ugly.
So now when he heard Li Yinhu's name from Li Chen's mouth, Li Canglan felt as if dozens of steel knives were placed on his neck, making it difficult for him to breathe.
"Your Highness."
Putting down the teacup, Li Canglan stood up, cupped his hands to Li Chen and said, "If something happens, please let me know."
Li Chen nodded, quite satisfied with the old man's straightforward performance.
"I want to seize the throne of Chi Li Yinhu, demote him to a commoner, and remove his name from the royal family tree."
In just one sentence, Li Yinhu was deprived of all his power and aura.
While Li Canglan felt that this was indeed the case, he also felt helpless as he was trapped in the whirlpool of power struggle.
"Your Highness."
Li Canglan said to Li Chen: "It is difficult to seize the title of Prince Chi, but His Highness has the power to supervise the country. It is not impossible to push for it, but removing Li Yinhu from the family tree will probably attract opposition from many clan elders.
.”
"After all, His Highness also knows the truth behind the death of lips and teeth."
Li Canglan said it implicitly, but the meaning was very clear.
Everyone is worried that if Li Chen can attack Li Yinhu today, how can they, who are also relatives of the emperor and have a far distant relationship, not consider what their situation will be like in the future once this hole is opened?
This is the case with many things, there is no first time, it is safe.
But once the opening is opened and there is a first time, then the second time, the third time and even more times, it is a matter of course.
Li Chen knew very well in his heart, so he said to Li Canglan: "This matter is indeed difficult, so I will discuss it with Mr. Li first. Mr. Li is highly respected within the clan, and I also ask Mr. Li to inform other clan elders that Li Chen
I am by no means a heartless and ungrateful person. Whether it is a relative of the emperor or a minister of civil and military affairs, I will treat everyone equally."
"I will not target my relatives for no reason, but they cannot stop me from doing what I want to do. In this way, I am very happy to see that all my relatives can flourish and live happily."
Li Canglan smiled bitterly.
Li Chen's words sounded soft, but the meaning was too clear.
The prerequisite for all clan members to live a happy life is not to stop His Highness from doing what he wants to do.
Otherwise, forget about spreading your branches and living a happy life.
"Mr. Li."
Li Chen suddenly said: "If I remember correctly, your grandson has been busy at home recently, right? The Royal Academy is about to start classes, and I have reserved a few seats. How to arrange these seats? Mr. Li, please give me some advice.
