The reborn princess has a talisman in her left hand and an invincible medical skill in her right han

Gong Chenyuan came to the desk, picked up a pen and wrote the names of Cang Jue and Chen Tao on a blank piece of paper.

He pointed at Chen Tao and said to Li Changshan, "This man is a counselor that Cang Jue has kept in the mansion. Cang Jue is not so smooth and shrewd by nature. Chen Tao is the one who makes plans and gives advice on many things behind the scenes."

He explained to Li Changshan the connection between Chen Tao and Cang Jue one by one.

Chen Tao's parents died early, leaving him and his sister to depend on each other. Later, his sister was kidnapped by robbers. It was Cang Jue who rescued her and took her as a concubine, raising her in the mansion, and providing her with good food and drink and loving her very much.

In order to repay his gratitude, Chen Tao volunteered to be Cang Jue's strategist.

The bond between the two people is Chen Tao's sister Chen Rong.

However, if Chen Tao knew that the mastermind behind the murder of his parents and the kidnapping of his sister was actually Cang Jue, how would he treat Cang Jue?

This was the divisive plot that Bai Qinghuan had written on paper.

There is a plan, but there is still a lack of evidence that can convince Chen Tao.

Moreover, the difficulty lies in the evidence. It must be true enough for Chen Tao to believe it, but it must not appear deliberate.

Li Changshan had been on the battlefield for a long time, facing the straightforward swords and spears. He also learned Sun Tzu's Art of War since childhood, but he could not figure out the twists and turns, insidiousness and cunning among the civil servants.

He can't do it, but his son can.

His eldest son rose to the position of Shaoqing of Dali Temple through his own ability.

So, after he sent Prince Li out, he sat in the front hall and waited eagerly.

As soon as he saw Li Bojun returning home from court, Li Changshan pulled him to the study and told him everything that Prince Li had told him, without missing a word.

The two of them didn't notice the two ghosts following them.

One person is short-term, two people are long-term.

Li Bojun then called his eldest son Li Qingchuan over.

Three generations of a family sat in the room discussing for a long time, with two ghosts listening in the corner.

It talked about the civil and military officials, the people who had come into contact with Cang Jue, what Cang Jue had done, and the upcoming major event, the Spring Examination held every three years.

It was not until sunset that the old lady, worried that something might have gone wrong, sent people to ask several times, and only then did they come out to eat.

The old lady asked what they were discussing in the study.

The three generations of grandparents and grandchildren looked at each other and said in unison, "It's about the Spring Examination."

After the first month of the year, the biggest event in the entire Jinling City is the Spring Examination.

Because of the emperor's order, three people from the Li family must take part in the Spring Examination.

There is Li Qingchuan, the eldest son and grandson of the Li family; there is Li Xiangyu, whose father is a business genius and will inherit countless wealth in the future; and there is Li Linquan, who is the most talented student in the Li family but had his luck stolen and was rescued.

If the emperor wants to control the Li family, he will never let them out of his sight. If they don't serve as military generals, they can be civil officials, and they must die under the emperor's nose.

Ever since Li Changshan handed over his military power and retired to the mansion, everyone in the Li family has figured out this truth.

They understood it, but the imperial power was supreme and they had no way to do anything.

Li Changshan has led troops in battles all his life and knows the importance of a leader in a team.

If this leader is not capable, then they will support the new leader.

He surrendered his military power just to save his entire family's lives. Now that the emperor is unwilling to let them leave and wants to keep them under his nose, why does he need the Spring Examination and civil officials to restrain them?

So they took advantage of the situation and, right under the nose of this foolish leader, grew and became stronger in a different way, and then used this power to support the new leader in fighting against the old leader.
