The contents of the imperial decree, almost as soon as it left the East Palace, appeared on Zhao Xuanji's desk.

Likewise, Li Yinhu also saw the full text of the imperial edict.

Li Yinhu, who hadn't slept all night, now had bloodshot eyes. Looking at the content Zhao Xuanji handed him, he read it word by word, carefully and meticulously. After finishing, he grinned fiercely: "Grand Elder, the East Palace is indeed as you said, they trampled me into the mud."

“Since he already knows you're bound to team up with me and vie for the throne against him, he'll inevitably try to strip you of your status first, making your claim less legitimate. The incident at Jing Shan and the Ninth Prince are nothing but convenient tools for him.”

Zhao Xuanji said calmly, "Even if he didn't have such a smooth knife, he wouldn't miss what he had to do."

Li Yinhu's mouth twitched. He looked at Zhao Xuanji and said, "The matter of the Ninth Prince..."

"Does that matter"

Zhao Xuanji was still very calm.

The death of the Ninth Prince was orchestrated by Li Yinhou himself, something Zhao Xuanji had known all along.

However, Li Yuntao himself would absolutely never admit to this kind of thing.

For Zhao Xuanji, the Ninth Prince was though his most satisfactory puppet, but since he had already been lost, to be angry about it was completely pointless.

How about thinking about the best way to limit losses

Even if it meant going along with Li Yinhǔ's wishes and allowing him, the instigator of all this, to take over the Ninth Prince's position, Zhao Xuánjī did not find it entirely unacceptable.

The only condition is that Li Yinhu has to be obedient enough.

But in fact, Li Yinhu has had many instances of disobedience throughout their collaboration.

Zhao Xuanji didn't react too much. Compared to directly warning or reprimanding Li Yinhu, he had more ways to make Li Yinhu uneasy and obediently follow his every arrangement.

For example, right now.

After losing Long Huaiyu and the backing of Wen Wang, Li Yinhu had no more capital to stir up trouble. He could only let himself be tossed about as he pleased.

Zhao Xuance enjoyed this feeling, being able to achieve his goals without too much effort or cost.

In fact, Zhao Xuanji has always been adept at using such tactics, never failing. The only time he encountered a problem was with the East Palace, which is why Li Chen has become his biggest concern today.

But Zhao Xuanji was also very clear that Li Yinhu was not Li Chen. There were few people in the world who had Li Chen's abilities, and his methods could still work on the vast majority of people besides Li Chen.

"I refuse to accept this!"

Li Yinhu gritted his teeth and said.

"Why Why did he strip me of my title, take away all my identities! He even deprived me of my surname! What right does he have!"

At this moment, Li Yinhu's face was contorted by hatred, with almost no trace of humanity left.

Looking at Li Yinhu who seemed almost insane, Zhao Xuanji said indifferently, "Do you know what you're called now"

"Rage against the powerless!"

"You're going to die here of your own frustration, and the Eastern Palace won't even bat an eye, they'll just clap with glee."

"When you encounter setbacks, you blame heaven and earth. Such a person as you is better off going to the Hall of Political Affairs to commit suicide sooner."

"That day, I agreed to your self-recommendation and supported you. I cooperated with you because I valued your ability to think of solutions when faced with problems, not because you were ruthless or cunning. But now, what is this"started to cough.He coughed more and more violently, bent over and opened his mouth, a mouthful of blood spurted out, shocking to behold.But after coughing up this mouthful of blood, the three treasur...
