Li Yinhu's straightforward invitation suddenly quickened the pace of the conversation.

Long Huaiyu pursed her lips, gazing intently at Li Yinhu, whose face was filled with sincerity. "Your Highness is so righteous," she said, "Huaiyu admires you."

“It’s not just about the Long family's interests; it's for the well-being of the entire Xishan Province. This is why we need strong support from the imperial court…”

Li Yinhu narrowed his eyes and smiled faintly: "What Dragon Son means is that this king has no foundation in the court, even if he supports you, he can only shout slogans but cannot provide any practical help"

Long Huaiyu hurriedly said, "Your Highness misunderstands..."

He waved his hand to stop Long Huaiyu's words, and Li Yinhou said lightly: "Let's speak plainly. You all know who stands behind me. Although I don't have a direct base in the court, the chief assistant of the cabinet is my foundation."

Li Yinhu tapped the table with his fingers and said, "It's very simple. I'll take care of your matters. Zhao Heishan is nothing. No matter how arrogant he is, now that his master is gone, he's a stray dog. There will be countless people who will kill him immediately. You don't even need me or you to make a move."

This remark shocked both Long Huaiyu and Long Tiand.

The master behind it has fallen. What does that mean

Could it be that King Zhao already has a complete plan to bring down the Crown Prince, and is about to put it into action

Countless thoughts came flooding in, and Long Huaiyu felt his mouth go dry. He was both surprised and unsure.

If that were truly the case, then all of his calculations would have to be overturned and redone.

Long Huaiyu's loss of composure caught the eye of his brother, Long Tianding.

He knew his son's lack of experience had been exposed once again, so he stepped in to take over the conversation with Li Yinhǔ.

Very cleverly, he avoided mentioning the topic of “the master behind it all has fallen,” and Long Tiande said, "We hope that the Xishan Province can be as peaceful and prosperous for its people as it was in the past.”

Li Yinhu said calmly, “This king also feels that the past Xishan Province, under the management assistance of the Long family, was very stable and prosperous. This situation should not be changed.”

With a nod, Long Tiandé continued, "We also hope that the Long Family can regain its marquis title."

Li Yinhu wore a blank expression.

Now he understands why the prince wouldn't associate with the Long family.

That's outrageous and utterly outlandish!

Originally, the Xishan province was under the actual control of the Dragon family. They held sway over all aspects of life, economy, and society. Except for military matters, which involved military power and constituted the imperial court's bottom line, no matter how powerful a local group was, they couldn't interfere with military affairs. Otherwise, there wouldn't be much difference between them and feudal princes.

And now the Long family proposes to restore the Marquess title, they just want to be a petty prince in Xishan Province!

Xishan Province is right next to Zhili, and once you pass it, you reach the capital. Such a strategically important location, how could a prince be granted this place

Delusions of grandeur!

After inwardly cursing vehemently, Li Yinhǔ finally spoke in a milder tone: "A title is hereditary but can be revoked by the court and reissued. There has been no precedent for this in our dynasty, so the matter is significant and requires careful consideration."

Long Tiande slowly nodded and said, "That's acceptable. Then there is one more requirement: from now on, the magistrate of Xishan Province can only be chosen from within Xishan Province itself."

As soon as these words left his mouth, Li Yinhu burst into laughter and said, "Long Tiandé, do you intend to split the land and divide the territories"

Long Tianding immediately stood up and cupped his hands to Li Yinhou, saying: "Your Majesty Zhao Wang, this humble citizen would never have such a rebellious thought."Chapter 659: Turning Point
