Chapter 108 Thunder, Rain and Dew Are All Your Grace
Chapter 108 Thunder, rain and dew are all your kindness
After the two left, Li Chen summoned Sambo.
"Go and check Guan Zhiwei to see if this person is available. Also check the Ministry of Industry to see how many bugs there are in the Ministry."
Upon hearing this, Sanbao immediately accepted the order.
"Your Highness, if we talk about the Ministry of Industry being a worm, a few days ago, Your Highness asked Dongchang to keep an eye on the officials who had contacts with the North Korean mission. Among them was the record of Lin Dongliang, Minister of the Ministry of Industry. He had three contacts with the North Korean mission.
Every time I receive a gift, it’s a huge gift.”
Li Chen sneered, murderous intent still gathering.
"Your Highness, do you want Dongchang to take action?" Sanbao asked quietly.
Li Chen said calmly: "Dongchang has been staring at those officials who accepted bribes for quite some time. Do you know why I don't close the net?"
Sanbao shook his head and said: "I dare not guess His Highness's thoughts."
If not for the fact that Sanbao could securely hold the position of the head of the Dongchang factory and even control the power of the commander of the Jinyiwei, Chen Tong could not compare with his brains alone.
Li Chen said calmly: "In the folk, when the situation is good, when people kill pigs during the New Year, they have to fatten them one or two months in advance before killing them, so that they can get more meat."
Sanbao looked astonished and said: "I understand, Your Highness has great talents and great strategies, but I will never be as good as His Highness."
"Stop flattering me. I don't know how much you have in mind?"
Li Chen waved his hand and said: "Keep an eye on them first and let them get fatter before I can take action."
"My servant understands. In addition, Your Highness asked your servant to check the Crown Prince's concubine carefully. This is some information about the Crown Prince's parents and family. Please take a look at it."
After receiving a report from Sanbao, Li Chen flipped through it for a while.
After finishing reading the things, Li Chen sent Sanbao away, then got up and went to Baihua Palace.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived."
After hearing the news, Zhao Rui quickly stood up to greet him.
"I have seen that His Royal Highness is a thousand years old."
"Stop being so polite and order people to pass on the meal. I will have dinner with you here today."
Li Chen gave the order, and soon a table of dishes was served from the dining room.
Li Chen was a little surprised when he saw that most of the food on the table was stocked with raw materials, and occasionally there were some exquisite meat dishes, which were obviously brought out at short notice.
"Today, I came out of the palace with His Highness and saw the suffering of the people. So many victims and people couldn't even get a bite of food. I felt that the fine clothes and fine food in the East Palace every day were really extravagant and wasteful. I changed my mind because I was good at it.
Recipes make frugality a priority in the dining room.”
Zhao Rui said softly: "But it's not to your Highness's taste? I asked the kitchen to prepare some more dishes that His Highness likes."
"No need."
Li Chen smiled and said, "That's very good."
After thinking for a while, Li Chen added: "The crown prince's concubine is the most popular in my heart."
Zhao Rui smiled slightly and said, "Your Highness's kindness has infected me."
Turning around to look at the yard outside, heavy snow was still falling, but a small half of the yard was quickly planted with peach blossoms.
The pale pink peach blossoms sway in the ice and snow, blooming in the cold, which is a unique feeling.
"Prince Concubine."
Zhao Rui heard this and said hurriedly: "My concubine is here."
"My favor is not easy to win, and the process may be very difficult." Li Chen said meaningfully.
Zhao Rui's face tightened, and he lowered his head and said: "Your Highness is busy with government affairs, and all I can do is to give His Highness a place to rest occasionally."
This answer made Li Chen laugh.
After picking up a piece of winter bamboo shoots for Zhao Rui, Li Chen said casually: "I heard that your father was once the chief envoy of Gansu and Shaanxi. Later, he angered his father and was demoted to the county magistrate. His life was not easy?"
Zhao Rui trembled and hurriedly replied: "The thunder and rain are all your kindness. My father did something wrong and he should be punished."
"You have done a lot of things, and you also want your father's family to have a better life. I will issue a decree asking your father to come to see you. If it is available, I will make arrangements."
When Zhao Rui heard this, her delicate body trembled with excitement, she knelt on the ground and said tremblingly: "I am my father, thank you, Your Highness!"
Asking Zhao Rui to get up, Li Chen said calmly: "Let's eat."
