Li Chen wanted to strip Li Yinhu of all his power and titles, he had to go through the Zongrenfu.

Unless he was the emperor, wielding imperial authority, even the Prince Regent had to take the Censorate's stance into consideration.

And the affairs of the Zongrenfu, to say it is easy to handle is easy to handle, to say it is difficult to handle is difficult to handle.

It's easy; just find the right key people and offer them what they want, and things will get done immediately.

If the Zongrenfu insists on refusing, Li Chen really has no good way to deal with these old men who are high-ranking and ridiculously stubborn, yet hopelessly antiquated.

Luckily, the key figure Li Chen found this time was Li Canglan, and the benefits offered were something he couldn't refuse.

So this matter is very efficient.

In the evening, news came from the Ministry of Rites that the East Palace had decided on all the punishments for Li Yinhǔ.

"Your Highness, I heard that this time the clan decree also cost a considerable amount. There are still quite a few elders in the Clan Affairs Office who believe your actions resemble fratricide and may displease the Emperor."

Listening to Sibaobao's report, Lichen let out a cold snort and said, "A bunch of old-fashioned geezers, pointing fingers at this palace and the government every day. They wish they could take this position themselves. Write down the names of those who oppose me, I'll have plenty of opportunities to deal with them later."

The Three Treasures respectfully responded and said nothing more.

"Have you found Li Yinhu" Li Chen asked again.

After Jing Shan's disappearance, despite the fact that the Dongchang was doing its utmost to hunt down Li Yinhu, they still couldn't find any trace of him. This was within Li Chen's expectations, but he was still a little uncomfortable about it.

Li Yinhu is nothing special, but the trouble lies in his status. Li Chen can strip him of his royal title and reduce him to a commoner, but the imperial blood flowing through his veins cannot be changed.

Just that one level of identity was enough to make him a threat.

If Li Yinhu could be killed completely, it would be like cutting off Zhao Xuanji's leg.

Unfortunately, the enemy was clearly aware of this as well, so Li Yinhǔ vanished without a trace, disappearing like he had evaporated.

Sān Bǎo's face flushed with embarrassment as he replied, "Your Highness, we haven't found it yet."

Li Chen remained expressionless and said in a flat tone, "I heard you were injured today"

"Sān Bǎo hastily replied, 'I was ambushed by Zhou Xingjia, it's just a minor injury, nothing serious.'"

"Treat the wound first. Capturing people isn't urgent. It seems like, whether it's Li Yinhǔ himself or Zhao Xuánjī, they both have ways to avoid Dongchang's pursuit. Keep an eye on Zhao Xuánjī; with such a big incident today, he can't possibly stay idle."

"I obey, my master."

As soon as the Three Treasures left, Chen Tong arrived right behind them.

"Your Highness!"

Covered in soot and looking disheveled, Chen Tong rushed to Li Chen's side in a fluster.

"The inn, the inn has flooded!"

Li Chen raised an eyebrow and narrowed her eyes abruptly.

Li Yinhu was going to burn down the inn, and Li Chen had already known about it from Xu Wei.

But even after such a big incident happened during the day, Li Yinhu still asked Xu Wei to light the fire at night. That's interesting.

At the very least, it proves that Li Yinhu is definitely still in Beijing.

"Are there any casualties" asked Li Chen.

"Two were injured, but there were no fatalities."

Chen Tong gritted his teeth and said, "But the prince of the Jin Kingdom is in the inn. Right now, he's very angry..."

"Where is everyone" asked Li Chen.

"Just outside the East Palace."

Li Chen suddenly had a good idea, he smiled and said, "Let him in."wing, and the content is detailed, with clear rules and logic. It can be said to be a rare good piece of writing.What pleased Li Chen most was that many of the ideas coincided with his own. Although t...
