On the streets of the capital, three Dongchang carriages stood quietly in the middle of the street.
Dozens of Dongchang captains stood casually, and their formation just happened to surround the carriage in the middle.
At the front, Xiao Chen had a bright smile on his face.
"If someone really makes trouble for Dongchang secretly, Dongchang Prison will be his final destination." Xiao Chen's voice was not high, but the meaning behind it was chilling.
As the leader of the Dongchang and the popular person next to the emperor, Xiao Chen had countless difficulties in his heart.
With the further implementation of Dongchang's affairs, the current Dongchang has gradually followed in the footsteps of the former Jinyiwei.
Too much power has become a thorn in the flesh of most officials in the DPRK.
Not only must we fight wits and courage against those forces that are harmful to the court, but we must also be on guard against the secret schemes of the high officials in the court.
Like before, Li An, as the representative, used the death of the former Minister of Rites, Cang Cheng, to make a big fuss and vigorously denounced Xiao Chen. It is easier to deal with these overt attacks, at least, everyone can reason about it.
And this kind of secret stumbling block will cause you to fall into a trap if you are not careful, and you will never recover from it.
"After that, are you going to go to the Ministry of War warehouse?" Duan Tianming said a little worried.
"Go, why don't you go? I want to see if the Minister of War is really trying to please Dongchang, or if he wants to frame Dongchang." Xiao Chen said with a smile.
Hearing this, Duan Tianming let out a long sigh.
"Commander Duan, why are you sighing again?" Liu Rufeng on the side asked a little confused.
"I'm sighing at the fate of our Dongchang. It's so sad that we have become the public enemy of the ministers even though we are dedicated to serving the imperial court." Duan Tianming shook his head again.
Liu Rufeng remained silent.
When he was in Jinyiwei, he had already experienced this kind of special "treatment". Now, in Dongchang, this kind of special "treatment" is even worse. This is probably the inevitable outcome for the emperor's direct lineage.
"We just need to do our own thing well and have a clear conscience. As for other things, there's no point in overthinking them. Come on, let's go back. The captains of the Shenji Corps are still waiting to see their new weapons." Xiao Chen
Smiling, he took the lead and walked in the direction of Battle 13.
In Le'an Prefecture, at the gate of Prince Han's Mansion, stood a bloated old man.
After experiencing the baptism of Xiao Chen, the counselors around the King of Han, together with the leader of the guards, had passed away and left the King of Han. And the King of Han Zhu Gaoxu had his right hand cut off, and he completely lost his former domineering power. He huddled in the palace of the King of Han, no longer
Take a step out of the house.
The reason why the King of Han was so disheartened was not because his advisers and guard leaders were killed, nor because his right hand was chopped off by Xiao Chen. It was because after what happened, his father seemed not to know about it and not only did he not punish Xiao.
Dust, and even more indifferent to themselves.
Without the protection of his father, Zhu Gaoxu knew that he had been completely abandoned. His previous ambitions seemed to have turned into a joke in an instant, leaving him completely devastated.
With the changes of the King of Han, the guards of the Han Palace also became much more low-key.
In the past, whenever anyone dared to approach the palace, they would be driven away with sticks and force. Now, the palace of the Han Dynasty is deserted, and there is almost no one passing by.
Sometimes, when they see a pedestrian passing by, the guard wants to take the initiative to say a few words.
After being left alone, the Hanwang Mansion seemed to have been abandoned by the people of Le'an Prefecture, and people would always pass by it when walking.
Although Li Jinhong, the magistrate of Le'an Prefecture, occasionally came to the palace to pay a visit, Zhu Gaoxu, who was in a state of despair, had no intention of meeting him and dismissed him with a few words.
Now, when I saw an old man standing at the gate of the palace, looking inside constantly, the two guards at the door couldn't help but feel excited.
"Old man, are you planning to enter the palace?" a guard asked with a smile.
This old man, dressed as a commoner, does not appear to be a wealthy person. He must be just curious when he is looking at the door.
The guard just wanted to tease him by asking this question, to find some fun in his boring duty outside the door.
"Is this the palace?" The old man heard the guard's question and replied a little doubtfully.
"Don't you recognize the word "Prince of Han's Palace" in such a big way?" the guard laughed.
This old man turns out to be illiterate.
The old man shook his head: "I do know the word, but the door is so deserted and it's quiet inside. It doesn't look like a royal palace, not even an abandoned temple."
"You?" The guard was furious, but the scolding that came to his lips was retracted by him.
Now, my master is already living a life of survival, so I should keep a low profile and not cause trouble for him. Once I anger my master and kill my own bodyguard, this kind of thing has happened before.
"Why, am I right? In the abandoned temple, at least there will still be pilgrims from the past who come to pay homage from time to time. This Han Dynasty palace was once famous in the court, but it became decadent because of encountering powerful enemies.
This situation is really pitiable." The old man shook his head and was about to leave.
Hearing the old man talking like this, the guard was shocked and couldn't help but look at the old man a few more times.
This man was dressed in cloth, but his eyes were like a bottomless pool of water. He was definitely not an ordinary person. But he dared to stand at the gate of the Han Palace, in front of the guards of the Han Palace, and point fingers at the Han Palace. He should have been prepared.
Come.
Thinking about the past domineering power of the Han Palace, and then looking at its current decline, how could such an expert miss it?
"Old man, please stay." The guard hurriedly caught up.
Slowly turning back, the old man stared at the guard: "Why, I just said a few words, are you going to hit me with sticks like before?"
The old man's words frightened the guard again.
To be able to say such things as before, the old man must know what the palace guards did in the past. But if he dares to point out the palace like this now, the old man must be confident.
"No, no," the guard said hurriedly, "I saw the old man looking into the palace, and I wondered if you had something to do. So, I came up to ask. If there is really something wrong with you, I will go in and inform you.
One sound."
"Report? When did the guards of the Han Dynasty become so well-behaved and actively ask the visitors if they want to report." Looking at the guards, the old man sneered.
"You?!" The guard's face turned red with anger, but he still held back his anger.
However, he did not continue to question the old man, but turned around and walked towards the gate of the palace.
"The king of Han in the past was so domineering. After experiencing a disaster, he became as timid as a tortoise and dared not go out. I was drinking in the street tavern in front. If he is interested, he can go out and talk about it."
After saying the next word, the old man walked forward without looking back.
