Duan Tianming knew many characters, but when asked to write them, he couldn't write any of them.
This secret letter should be written by Du Shaoqin, reporting on the prince's injury.
The long vertical line on the cover was done by Duan Tianming.
The vertical line represents standing. This long vertical line is Duan Tianming's eagerness to tell himself that the prince can stand.
As long as the prince can stand up, it means that the leg bones have completely grown together. He only needs to continue to rest for a while to consolidate his injuries, walk out of the East Factory Prison, and move back into the East Palace. It will be just around the corner.
Opening the secret letter, Xiao Chen read it carefully, but his brows gradually wrinkled.
The secret letter stated that the prince's injuries were indeed recovering satisfactorily. However, in the recent days, there were always people of different identities and costumes looking in from outside the gate of the East Factory.
Even though they were dispersed several times, there were still different people coming to look around.
The secret letter said that it was very possible that the news that the prince was recuperating there had leaked out.
After putting away the secret letter, Xiao Chen had no intention of eating anymore.
Now that there is a crisis on the emperor's side, he must not leave. And there is a new situation on the prison side. If the prince makes a mistake, the future of Ming Dynasty will not be very bright.
With his head lowered, Xiao Chen put his hands behind his back and walked around in place.
Duan Tianming and Du Shaoqin are considered masters in Dongchang. However, the Ming Dynasty is a land of hidden dragons and crouching tigers. If the other party finds a top master in the world and secretly assassinates the prince...
Xiao Chen closed his eyes tightly, not daring to continue thinking.
Holding the secret letter in his hand, Xiao Chen deeply felt the trouble caused by his lack of manpower.
"No, we must immediately request an imperial edict from the emperor to transfer Liu Rufeng, a thousand-household guard in Jinyi, to Dongchang, and immediately rush to the prison of Dongchang to protect the prince."
Thinking of this, Xiao Chen took the secret letter and hurried towards the emperor's camp hall.
After just eating and drinking, Ming Chengzu was not in a hurry to rest. Instead, he went to the side hall, sat on the large dragon chair, picked up tomorrow's "hunting" schedule, and watched it carefully.
Lin Shangli poured a bowl of hot tea, placed it on the table in front of the dragon chair, and stood aside respectfully.
"Your Majesty, Lord Ziyi wants to see you." The old eunuch on duty in the main hall stood at the door of the side hall and shouted softly towards the inside.
"Xiao Chen? Let him in." Putting the "hunting" schedule in his hand together, Ming Chengzu looked at the door of the side hall.
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Chen, who was standing behind the old eunuch, stepped into the side hall in one step.
Without saying a word, kneeling down on one knee is a great gift.
"Get up, get up. You must have something important to come here now. What's the matter?" Ming Chengzu waved his hand.
"Your Majesty, please take a look." Xiao Chen said, handing over the Dongchang secret letter with both hands. Then he hugged Lin Shangli with both fists as a greeting.
Looking at Xiao Chen, Lin Shangli asked softly: "Is there something going on in the prison?"
"Well, I'm afraid something big will happen." Xiao Chen replied in a low voice.
There were only a few lines in the secret letter. Ming Chengzu read it and handed it to Lin Shangli next to him.
"Why did the news about the prince's body recuperation in there suddenly leak out? We must investigate this matter later." Ming Chengzu said with a straight face, obviously very unhappy.
Dongchang is a new organization that I just established. The specific situation in Dongchang's prison can actually be leaked. This is something that is absolutely not allowed to exist.
Just now, I thought that Dongchang was the only one among all the institutions in Ming Dynasty that could be described as an iron bucket. As soon as I said that, something like this happened. Isn't it a slap in the face?
"Your Majesty," Xiao Chen folded his arms again, "The other party must have taken advantage of us being in the Tumu Fort to inquire about the situation inside the prison over and over again. My subordinates thought that the other party was very likely to take risks, which would be detrimental to the Crown Prince."
"Check, we must get to the bottom of it." Ming Chengzu slapped his palm hard on the table.
"Your Majesty, this matter must be investigated. However, the top priority is not to find out who the other party is, but to protect the prince's safety, which is the first priority." Xiao Chen said softly.
"Isn't the Dongchang Prison now guarded by nearly five hundred captains? With the Jinyi guards on the outside, I don't believe it. They dare to attack the prison blatantly?" Ming Chengzu said angrily.
"With the capital's defense strength, no one dares to act rashly on a large scale. My subordinates are worried that if the other party invites a few top masters to enter the Dongchang Prison, the five hundred captains may not be able to keep the prince safe.
"Xiao Chen said worriedly.
"Sigh." Ming Chengzu let out a long sigh, "With the situation here, you can't leave for the time being, and Xiao Linzi can't go back either. How about arranging for the deacons of the Criminal Department to bring the elites to the Dongchang Prison?"
"No." Xiao Chen shook his head gently, "Let's not talk about the unreliability of the people in the Criminal Department. Their strength alone may not be able to solve any big problems."
Hearing what Xiao Chen said, Ming Chengzu showed a smile on his face: "You came here in such a hurry, you must not only report trouble to me. Have you already paid attention to it?"
With a "pop", Xiao Chen knelt on the ground: "To report to the emperor, I would like to ask the emperor to draft an imperial edict!"
"Imperial decree? What's the content?" Ming Chengzu said.
"Liu Rufeng, a member of the Qianhu of Jin Yiwei, has been assigned to the Qianhu of Dongchang. He immediately rushed to the prison of Dongchang to report on his duties." Xiao Chen said loudly.
Ming Chengzu had doubts in his eyes: "Jin Yiwei Qianhu Liu Rufeng? Who is he?"
Before Xiao Chen could reply, Lin Shangli stared at Xiao Chen: "Is it the Qianhu from the Thirteenth Battle last time?"
Xiao Chen smiled slightly: "My lord, it's him who is returning to the factory."
Hearing Xiao Chen's affirmative answer, Lin Shangli hurriedly bowed to Ming Chengzu and said: "Your Majesty, this Liu Rufeng is a newly promoted member of Qianhu in the Jinyi Guard. He is very capable of reaching out."
"Is this person really reliable?" Ming Chengzu couldn't help but ask.
"Back to the emperor, Liu Rufeng was quite ostracized in Jinyiwei because he was unwilling to collect the protection fees from the merchants along the street. But because of his good skills, he was assigned to perform security duties outside the Tumu Fort. When his subordinates were patrolling the outside, they once
Passing by his tent, there was nothing else in it except a small bed and a fire. After arriving at Tumubao, his subordinates were worried about the prince living in Dongchang prison, and they were deeply worried that no one could use him, so they asked him
I have contacted Liu Rufeng several times. I believe that if this person can be transferred to Dongchang, Dongchang's strength will definitely increase greatly."
Holding his fists, Xiao Chen said seriously.
"Okay, now that I have passed your test, I have nothing to worry about. Xiao Linzi, I will serve you with pen and ink and draft the decree."
