Soon, Xu Wei, the head of one hundred households in the Imperial Household Guards, came in a hurry to see him.
As an imperial bodyguard and the head of a hundred households, Xu Wei can be said to be a powerful person in the palace. His rank is not high, only the ninth rank. However, officials should look at the amount of power in their hands, not just their rank.
A small editor in the Hanlin Academy is a position starting from the seventh rank, but in terms of real power, it is definitely not as good as the county magistrate of the ninth rank.
Xu Wei, who has mastered the real power of Shenwumen's security, has been very proud of himself recently, so when facing Li Chen who gave him all this, the respect and gratitude in his heart are beyond words.
"Xu Wei, who holds a humble position, sees His Royal Highness the Crown Prince as a thousand years old, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince as a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand years old!"
Seeing Xu Wei kneeling on the ground respectfully and saluting, Li Chen was quite satisfied.
A person mentioned casually at that time has been keeping Dongchang's attention during this period. Judging from the information fed back by Dongchang, this Xu Wei is an available person.
However, before using him, Li Chen still needs to do some hammering.
"You are on duty during this period, are you okay?"
Li Chen's casual question made Xu Wei think about it immediately.
He didn't know what Li Chen meant by asking.
Maybe it was really just a casual question.
Or maybe some other information is hidden.
This is the difference between the superior and the inferior. A single word from the superior can make the inferior be on tenterhooks.
Xu Wei licked his lips and replied: "Reporting to Your Highness, I dare not say that I am loyal to my duties after receiving your support from your humble position, but I have always worked hard and dare not neglect, for fear of living up to Your Highness's gift."
Li Chen said with a smile but not a smile: "It's true that you don't dare to neglect, but it's not necessary to be conscientious. You only took office for three days, and you found an excuse to expel the two commanders who had offended you before from the imperial guard establishment."
, there are two general bannermen, one is working as a guard at the city gate, and the other is directly driven to feed the horses."
"Not only that, you also mentioned the senior who had been kind to you to the position of the general banner. Even though you knew that he had insufficient military exploits, was too old, and according to military regulations, he had to take off his military uniform and return to his household registration in the spring, you still took advantage of him.
I have the power in my hands to control it.”
Li Chen's words made Xu Wei instantly wet with cold sweat.
He thought he had done these things flawlessly, but he didn't expect His Highness the Crown Prince to actually see things very clearly and understand them like the back of his hand.
These things are not uncommon, almost everyone with power will do them to suppress their opponents and support their own people.
But if you put it on the table, it is illegal and indisciplined.
It can range from being demoted to a new job, or to being put in prison.
In panic, Xu Wei no longer dared to have any luck, and immediately knocked his head heavily on the ground, saying in a trembling voice: "The crime of humble duty deserves death, please forgive me!"
"If I want to punish you, will you still have a chance to speak in front of me?"
Li Chen said calmly: "Since ancient times, those who achieve great things do not stick to small details. What I want is people who can achieve things, not slaves who just follow the steps."
When Xu Wei heard this, his face showed an expression of excitement and surprise, and he immediately said: "I am humbled by this position, and I am willing to kill you for your highness!"
Waving his hand to stop Xu Wei's loyal words, Li Chen said: "I've already heard similar words, and my ears have become calluses. For those things you did, there were people in the dark who helped you clean up your hands and feet, otherwise you thought it would be so easy.
?”
"As for the two general flags you organized, one of them is the nephew of the right counselor of the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion, and the other is the nephew of Wai Lang, the member of the Military Preparation Department of the Ministry of War. Which of these two people can you offend? If not me.
