The existence of the Regent is the key to the demotion of Li Xiu and his son.

Li Xiu knew about it the day after waking up.

History has a small deviation at some point in time.

Fifteen years ago, the Supreme Emperor Li Dan launched the Sect's Strike.

The details are hard to trace, but the results are obvious.

From then on, the Tang Dynasty had two rulers and were called the Two Saints.

Li Longji was still the emperor, and the Supreme Emperor Li Dan became the regent.

Although the Supreme Emperor Li Dan passed away five years ago, his power layout has been completed.

Li Longji's elder brother Li Chengqi succeeded as the Regent and controlled the three ministries of wealth, military and officialdom.

Three of the five prime ministers were appointed by him.

The Supreme Emperor Li Dan also left a political legacy in the palace at the same time.

In the eighth bureau of the inner palace, Niu Xiantong, who was loyal to the regent, controlled the five bureaus, and Gao Lishi, who was loyal to the emperor, controlled the three bureaus.

However, after the Imperial Medical Bureau was taken away by Gao Lishi, the unfavorable situation of Gao Lishi slightly improved.

Emperor Li Longji barely maintained the current balance of weakness with the support of a group of loyal ministers and the Shen Ce Army.

In the room, Gao Lishi sighed and added a few white hair.

Spring is here, and the season for the royal concubines to visit relatives is coming again.

Last year, Concubine Zhang spent 80,000 yuan on her visit to her relatives. This year, Concubine Liu applied for another 200,000 yuan on her relatives. There were still dozens of Concubines who had submitted their visit to her relatives in line in the back, which became increasingly serious.

Gao Lishi knew very well the intention of the concubines visiting relatives for years. Didn’t the Regent just want to use up the little savings in the inner treasury?

Without the financial support of the internal treasury, the emperor who has lost his financial power will not be able to do anything.

Gao Lishi felt very stressed. He not only had to stop the expenditure of 200,000 guan, but also had to be wary of Niu Xiantong's plot.

The cow fairy child is staring at himself like a snake, looking for his own handle.

Look, his wife, Lu, had just sent someone to deliver a letter to him, and the house was in trouble.

Tomorrow, the true man Longyang of Xuandu Palace will come to the mansion to catch the monsters.

Of course, Gao Lishi could not let Zhenren Longyang do whatever he wanted in his mansion.

He wanted to take someone back. When he thought of catching monsters, Gao Lishi thought of ghosts and gods.

Thinking of ghosts and gods, Gao Lishi thought of that bastard Thirty-Battle.

………….

"Aweng, put away the teacup quickly, Thirty-eighth Lang is here!"

The little eunuch reminded him anxiously at the door.

"Quick! Quick! Put away the teapot."

Gao Lishi and several young eunuchs quickly put away all his beloved things.

Li Xiu walked into the room and couldn't help but be stunned.

He looked at the cabinet again, why was there nothing left?

"Mr. Gao has something to ask me for?"

"Haha!" Gao Lishi smiled hypocritically.

He was behind his back, holding a teapot that he couldn't put away.

"Is there time tomorrow?"

"What's the matter?"

"My house is in trouble, and my wife asked me to find someone who is capable to help."

"Your wife?"

Li Xiu couldn't grasp the point and secretly glanced down Gao Lishi.

Gao Lishi was a little nervous when he saw him, and unconsciously covered the front with a teapot.

He laughed dryly, "I'm here this time, there are your benefits!"

Although Gao Lishi watched Li Xiu grow up, he felt that he had just begun to understand this bastard.

Gao Lishi's words immediately improved Li Xiu's outlook on life.

He thought it was not ridiculous for eunuchs to get married, and eunuchs were also human beings, and it was human nature!

"Gao Weng must not mention money, it makes people embarrassed. I will go tomorrow!"

The two of them were tacitly aware of it and laughed.

Li Xiu suddenly saw the teapot in front of Gao Lishi.

He had a little dry mouth and hot eyes, and he smacked his lips and said, "I'm so thirsty! I've been thinking about Ahon before going out and forgot to drink tea."

………………

Gao Lishi's home is in Yishanfang opposite the palace.

A little eunuch took Li Xiu and his entourage over there.

When Li Xiu walked out of the palace for the first time, he finally saw the magnificent Tang Dynasty.

He likes so many plump and fair women all over the street.

Li Xiu rode on a thin and old horse, and was full of poetry.

Holding a horse whip in hand, he pointed at the beauty of Jiangshan all over the streets, "The country is so beautiful that it has attracted countless heroes to repair their waists!"

"Good poem! Good poem!"

Zhang Ping and Zhao Hu transformed into flattery spirits and followed on both sides of the thin horse.

"Two flatterers!"

Gongsun Xiaomei was very dissatisfied with these two followers and led his master to pieces.

She asked Li Xiu again, "Brother Xiu, what are your great ambitions?"

Li Xiu smiled, "Of course there are great ambitions. I always dream about whether I can wake up and control the world's money in the future and lie drunk on the beautiful knees!"

Zhang Ping next to him resonated with him and whispered to Zhao Hu: "My ambition is the same as Brother Xiu!"

"Wake up the world's money?"

"No, go to the warehouse as a warehouse manager."

"What about you?" Zhang Ping poked Zhao Hu with his elbow.

"I? I'm almost the same as Brother Xiu. Every time I get drunk in a brothel, I look for beautiful knees everywhere."

Gongsun Xiaomei muttered in a low voice: "Brother Xiu is thinking about women all day long, I will turn around and tell my mistress to go!"

Haha! The little lady was too thin and Li Xiu immediately changed the subject.

"I have something important to me, which is hard to ask in the palace."

Gongsun Xiaomei's dissatisfaction was successfully shifted, and she blinked her big eyes, which were clearly black and white.

"What do Brother Xiu'er want to ask?"

"I want to know how many levels of the title are, what are the treatments of the lowest baron? What are the conditions?"

The news revealed by the three royal children aroused Li Xiu's yearning for a better life in the future.

He didn't dare to think too far, so he locked his hopes on the lowest baron!

"Brother Xiu doesn't even know this?"

"Nonsense, I know I'm still asking you? Am I sick? Forgot!"

The reason was very powerful, Gongsun Xiaomei had to lower her eyebrows and explain with pleasure.

"The title is very simple! It is the crown prince, prince, prince, prince, prince, county duke, county duke, and then Hou Bozinan, with a total of ten titles."

"Where is the baron's treatment?"

Gongsun Xiaomei was a little unreasonable, "I only remember that the Baron seemed to be a high money, and he had about fifty stags of money a month."

"Let me say it!"

Zhang Ping smiled and said, "In fact, money and other titles are similar, mainly property. Starting from the baron, the royal family will get their own farms and small houses, take a bird and take a bath, and live a happy life."

"There is also a great improvement in status!"

Zhao Hu added in time: "With the title, the royal family can go out to solve the problems of the emperor in exchange for rewards. Local officials will rush to honor you, and there are also a large group of wealthy businessmen crying and shouting that they want to marry their daughter to you!"

The treatment is immediate!

Li Xiu especially liked the last treatment. He seemed to see a large group of magnificent people breaking their heads and wanting to marry him, and he couldn't even close his mouth.
