He gritted his teeth, swallowed his saliva, and said, "Your Highness, there must never be another Zhao Xuanji in the military."
These words made Li Chen's expression suddenly darken.
Li Chen did not scold or blame Chen Tong.
He slowly pointed his fingers on the table, thought for a moment and then asked: "Is the evidence conclusive?"
Chen Tong's heartbeat accelerated, his palms became sweaty, and he hurriedly said: "It is true that when the factory boss was here, he never relaxed his investigation of people with problems in the military. Therefore, we have a rough record of the generals in Beijing's character and stance.
Comparing it with the background files, comparing this large-scale transfer and dismissal, and combining it with the files, we can easily see that there are problems here."
After Chen Tong's answer, Li Chen remained silent for a longer period of time.
Li Chen believed in Su Zhenting.
He really had no reason to change his position.
If Donggong is destroyed, he will be the first to die, and he will be the second to die.
The two of them have long been deeply tied by a rope. With Su Zhenting's outstanding political wisdom, it is impossible not to realize this.
And after long-term contact, Li Chen still has some confidence in Su Zhenting.
But Li Chen also knows that as a person in power, many times he cannot completely determine the will of an interest group.
For example, when you dealt with Zhao Xuanji, didn't you take advantage of this?
Not targeting Zhao Xuanji directly, but targeting the cabinet factions under Zhao Xuanji, so that collective interests force Zhao Xuanji to resist.
But now, this person has been replaced by Su Zhenting, and Li Chen feels deeply troubled.
If it were before, Li Chen might have used a more gentle approach to solve this matter, or even put it on the shelf for the time being and not deal with it.
But after Emperor Daxing's advice that night, Li Chen knew that in his position, he could not absolutely hate someone, nor could he absolutely rely on someone.
Everyone is a chess piece.
The only one who can play chess is himself.
"Just pretend this never happened."
After thinking for a long time, Li Chen made a decision and said to Chen Tong.
When Chen Tong heard this, he immediately bowed and said, "I understand my humble position."
"Go down."
After sending Chen Tong away, Li Chen sat alone for a while, took out his reform plan, and focused on revising the military aspect.
With this change, a whole day passed.
Dusk enveloped the earth, and lights were lit inside and outside the East Palace. Only then did Li Chen rub his sore neck and raise his head.
"Your Highness, let me rub it for you." Wan Jiaojiao came over and said distressedly.
"It's okay, I still have things to do."
Li Chen said: "Go and invite the Crown Princess to come over, and tell me that I will accompany her back to her parents' home."
Wan Jiaojiao was stunned.
It is a folk custom for the bride to return home.
Usually after getting married, a woman needs to return to her parents' home.
But the royal family is different. Once you marry into the royal family, your natal family will first have an additional identity, that is, they are courtiers.
Therefore, the Crown Princess does not need to return home. If she wants to see her, her parents must come to see her.
This is also one of the few opportunities for the maternal parents to enter the harem openly.
But rules are rules, and they are always no bigger than the prince's orders.
In her heart, she just felt that His Highness the Crown Prince was really kind to the Crown Princess. Wan Jiaojiao didn't think about anything else at all, so she turned around and went to give the order.
Half an hour later, Li Chen and Su Jinpa's Luan Jia left the East Palace and headed to the General's Mansion.
