Xu Wei's face was pale and there was cold sweat on his forehead.
He always felt that what he did was too smooth, and the revenge he was worried about never came. He thought he was lucky, but he didn't expect that everything about him had been controlled by His Highness the Crown Prince.
However, Xu Wei was also a little strange. He was just a small bodyguard before, but because of His Highness's appreciation, he was promoted to a hundred households, became a ninth-level officer, and had some real power. But how could someone as big as himself be worthy of His Highness?
Treat it differently?
Xu Wei didn't know how lacking Li Chen was now, but he knew that when the opportunity came, he must seize it.
After tasting the power, Xu Wei never wanted to go back to being an ordinary guard who could step on anyone. That would be even more uncomfortable than killing him.
"Your Highness, the blessing of humble position is just a matter of raising your hand and doing it casually. Although it is random, it is enough to change the life of humble position. I have wasted thirty years in humble position. When I meet Your Highness, I know what it feels like to be proud. I understand better than humble position.
Everything I have is given by His Highness. Whatever His Highness asks me to do, I will do it, without any hesitation."
Xu Wei's statement was very pleasing to the ears, but in the officialdom, he behaved like a chicken.
Also showing their loyalty, Xu Changqing and others are much more experienced than Xu Wei.
I didn't say it that clearly, but I made my attitude very clear through my actions.
It's just that Xu Wei's immaturity is exactly what Li Chen wants.
He has enough old foxes under his command. Sometimes a rough guy comes, but it may not be a bad thing.
More importantly, in Li Chen's eyes, Xu Wei's ruthlessness, determination and potential are higher than those of Xu Changqing and others.
"An hour ago, right here, I, the queen, the cabinet and other important ministers approved the appointment of the eighth prince Li Yinhu as King Zhao. Now the clan government and the cabinet have gone to prepare the announcement. Tomorrow at the latest, the news will be announced
Be known to everyone in the world."
Xu Wei didn't know why Li Chen told him this, but he just listened patiently without interrupting.
Sure enough, Li Chen changed the subject and said: "According to law, after a prince is crowned king, he must go to the fiefdom to take up his post. However, the current situation in the court is in turmoil and the father is unconscious, so I have suppressed the fiefdom issue. But
Even so, King Zhao still needs 300 personal soldiers to stay in the capital, and I plan to select these 300 personal soldiers by the palace guards."
When Xu Wei heard this, his eyelids jumped wildly.
He vaguely realized that he, a small character who was not even a sesame mung bean in the capital, was about to be involved in the imperial power struggle between the prince and the prince.
In a fight of this level, even a small wave would be enough to smash him to pieces.
But he had no chance to back down.
What's more, he didn't want to back down.
Having tasted power, he only wanted more.
In the midst of danger, he saw a great opportunity.
The excitement could be seen in Xu Wei's eyes, and Li Chen did not try to hide himself anymore, saying: "I will arrange for you to join this pro-army, but King Zhao will definitely not like the people I arrange to join, so I will arrange for you to join this army."
It won’t give you much help, it will actually harm you, so how far you can go depends entirely on you.”
Li Chen didn't make his words too clear, but the meaning that Xu Wei needed to know was all contained in these few sentences.
Xu Wei said respectfully: "I understand that I will live up to your highness's trust."
"Very good."
Nodding, Li Chen waved his hand and said: "Go out."
After Xu Wei respectfully left, Li Chen waved to Zhao Rui next to him.
