Li Chen said with a half-smile: "I will not kill him, but will really give him a job."
"Some people have their own meaning in life."
Just as Sanbao was about to speak, another report came from outside.
"His Royal Highness, a man named Zhou Ping'an is holding His Highness's waistband and is here to ask for an audience."
Li Chen was shocked and said: "Invite him to come in immediately."
Sanbao stepped aside knowingly, thinking about what the prince had just said, with a calm expression on his face.
When Zhou Pingan entered the Xi Zheng Hall, Sanbao was stunned as soon as he saw Zhou Pingan.
As the official of Dongchang Factory, Sanbao's information naturally knew Zhou Pingan's identity. He could not figure out how Zhou Pingan, who was a servant of the Joseon Dynasty, could appear in Xi Zheng Palace?
"Caomin Zhou Ping'an, see His Highness the Crown Prince."
During this meeting, Zhou Ping'an changed both his name and that of Li Chen.
Li Chen said calmly: "Forgive me."
Looking at Zhou Pingan, Li Chen said: "But are you ready?"
Zhou Ping'an said calmly: "Your Highness has done all the preliminary work, and the civilians can set off at any time."
Nodding, Li Chen said, "What else do you need?"
Zhou Ping'an smiled brightly and said, "I want to ask for a decree from His Highness."
Without waiting for Li Chen to ask, Zhou Ping'an continued: "It is my intention to let the new chief minister of Xishan Province know my identity."
Li Chen was surprised and said: "That's it?"
Zhou Ping'an said calmly: "I want nothing more."
"good."
Li Chen nodded and said: "You can go find Zhao Heshan later. He will only take up his new post in the next few days and will not leave immediately. He will know what to do when he sees the badge I gave you before.
.”
Cupping his hands, Zhou Ping'an said: "Thank you, Your Highness."
"In addition, Cao Min has resigned from his official position in the Joseon Dynasty and bid farewell to Princess Jin. However, His Highness may need to explain this matter later."
"knew."
Li Chen said calmly: "If you can really solve the rebellion in Xishan Province without any blood, after you come back, I will let you stay with me and give you a chance to display your ambition."
Zhou Ping'an bowed deeply to the end and said, "Thank you for your generosity, Your Highness."
"Go and do some work. I'm waiting for good news from you."
After Zhou Ping'an left, Li Chen said to Sanbao: "Go and prepare some regular clothes for me."
Sanbao didn't even fart and was immediately ready for Li Chen.
After changing into regular clothes, Li Chen took the Three Treasures with him, followed by a group of concealed royal guards, and left the East Palace directly.
After leaving the East Palace, Li Chen went straight to the General's Mansion.
On the way, Li Chen called Sanbao to his side.
"Please resign from your post as Commander of the Imperial Guards."
A gentle word, calm and gentle, made Sanbao look miserable.
But he didn't dare to suffer, let alone beg for mercy. He just lowered his eyebrows and said submissively: "I obey my orders."
"From now on, you will be solely responsible for the intelligence and investigation of the East Factory."
"Chen Tong took over as the commander and was responsible for arresting people and imprisoning them."
"But Dongchang still regards you as the owner."
Sanbao lowered his eyebrows and said, "I obey my command."
After glancing at Sanbao, Li Chen's footsteps stepped on the snow, leaving a series of footprints. He said: "Don't feel uncomfortable. You have been with my father for decades and you are used to the intrigues in the palace.
You should know that letting go of some of your power will save your life."
Sanbao felt a chill all over his body. He lowered his head deeply and said, "When I return later, I will immediately transfer the position of commander of the Jinyi Guards to Chen Tong."
"Very good."
Nodding, Li Chen ignored Sanbao and looked up, the General's Mansion was already in front of him.
However, at the door of the General's Mansion, a scholar was standing there as if waiting for someone.
