Chen Tong gritted his teeth and said, "I am humbled by your position, please forgive me."
"deliver an imperial order."
Li Chen faintly said two words, and Chen Tong immediately knelt on the ground with his forehead touching the ground, making a prostrate posture.
Although this posture would make his wound more painful, Chen Tong remained motionless, just gritting his teeth and enduring the excruciating pain, waiting for relief.
"Chen Tong, the commander of the Jinyiwei of Zidong Factory, was not strict in his command and made many mistakes. Although it was not Chen Tong's fault, he should still be responsible for the mistakes. He was dismissed from his position as the commander of the Jinyiwei and demoted to the deputy commander of the Jinyiwei.
See the aftereffects.”
Upon hearing this decree, Chen Tong immediately thanked him.
Originally, Chen Tong was the deputy commander of the Jinyi Guards. His official position was promoted to him by Li Chen at the beginning of this year. In just a few months, he was kicked back from his official position. Once word gets out, there will definitely be consequences for him.
It is not an exaggeration to say that it caused a huge blow to his prestige and even made him a laughing stock.
You know, none of the Qianhu and Deputy Qianhu in the East Factory are easy to get along with. Who knows what they will think after learning that Chen Tong has been demoted.
"You were demoted just a few months after your promotion. It will attract some criticism after the news spreads, but these problems are yours to solve. Do you understand how to deal with these problems and the people who caused them?"
Li Chen said expressionlessly: "If you can't even solve this problem, how can you be worthy of such a big responsibility?"
Chen Tong gritted his teeth and said firmly: "I understand that I will never cause any more trouble to His Highness."
"It's okay if you understand. Let's go down."
After sending Chen Tong away, Li Chen returned his attention to the memorial in front of him.
Because the power conflict with the cabinet is getting more and more serious, more and more things cannot be handled below, and eventually they are handed over to him step by step, and he has to seek solutions for himself and the entire East Palace faction in this messy situation.
Maximization of interests.
Any one thing may affect the whole body, so this requires Li Chen to concentrate his greatest energy and concentrate on overall planning and grasping the overall situation.
...
What happened in Dongchang was not hidden from the outside world for long.
After all, there are two deputy Qianhu, and they have their own Baihu and other subordinates below them. If their immediate boss is embarrassed, he has embarrassed three people at once. It is impossible to hide this kind of thing.
The news soon reached Zhao Xuanji's ears.
At this time, he was deploying more manpower to search for his son Zhao Tailai, who had been missing for several days.
"All the chess pieces buried in the East Factory have been pulled out!?"
When Zhao Xuanji heard the news, his first reaction was that it was impossible.
These three chess pieces of Dongchang were buried by him after spending countless energy and efforts over the years.
Even one of them, Miao Fengye, had already been bought in advance before Dongchang was established. Later, when he learned about the establishment of Dongchang, he tried his best to get Miao Fengye into it.
After so many years, Miao Fengye has grown to the point where it now has thousands of households.
Zhao Xuanji had even been planning to help Miao Fengye remove the subtitles on his head.
Over the years, in order to ensure the absolute safety of the chess pieces, he had almost never used them, but now they were all pulled out, which made Zhao Xuanji immediately smell an unusual danger.
The person who brought the news was a middle-aged man with an unattractive appearance. He whispered: "Earlier, Sanbao suddenly returned from the East Palace and immediately went to the court to hold a meeting to gather all the working Hundred and Thousand Households in the capital.
Get up and kill Miao Fengye and three others on the spot."
