It's not just Zhu Gaochi who is in a good mood today.
Xiao Chen and all the captains of Dongchang were also in a very good mood.
Even Daning Commander Wang Zheng, who was kneeling on the ground, and two fellow commanders were in a very good mood.
The Daning Dusi, which had been dormant for many years, finally took action once and won a victory.
In the future, when the prince inherits the throne, the status of the Ningdu Si can be imagined.
At that time, when the purple-clothed captain came to ask for help from him, he was a little pushy. Now it seems that the purple-robed captain is his lucky star.
Thinking of this, Wang Zheng couldn't help but look at Xiao Chen beside the prince, his eyes full of gratitude.
If the prince is like a big tree, then the captain in purple is like a big branch. There will be absolutely no harm in getting closer to him in the future.
"His Royal Highness encountered an unexpected incident in the capital. It was not within the defense scope of Daning Dusi. Daning Dusi was powerless. Now, Lord Ziyi rescued His Highness the Crown Prince in Baoding City. Daning Dusi cannot sit idly by and ignore His Highness's safety. In the past few days, Da Ning Dusi has been unable to do anything about it.
Ning Dusi has prepared a guard post to defend the entire Baoding City, and another guard post to provide security near His Highness's residence. I wonder if His Highness is going to return to Beijing immediately, or will he rest in Baoding City for a few days?" Looking up slightly, Wang Zheng was still kneeling.
He looked at Zhu Gaochi very "loyally".
Zhu Gaochi couldn't help but look at Xiao Chen aside: "I won't be able to eat or sleep well these days. How about we rest in Baoding City for a few days before returning to Beijing?"
He was kidnapped by gangsters, and his father was furious. He detained the Minister of Punishment and the Duke of Dongchang for investigation. Now that he was found, Xiao Chen must be eager to take him back to Beijing to plead guilty to his father.
Although Xiao Chen will definitely follow his instructions and make arrangements for his own actions. However, after all, he is also his savior. Asking for advice shows that he is grateful in his heart and is a kind of respect for them.
"His Highness was imprisoned in the damp underground. His body is very weak and he should be recuperating. The commander of Daning Dusi has said that for His Highness's safety, they will send troops from two guard stations to protect him. If you want to recuperate for a few days, you can
Just rest for a few days." Xiao Chen said, glancing at Wang Zheng who was kneeling on the ground.
Wang Zheng was extremely grateful for Xiao Chen's mention again.
The prince is recuperating in Baoding City. This is obviously an opportunity for Daning Dusi to perform. This opportunity was also given to him by the purple-clothed captain.
Just now, if he had insisted on returning to the capital immediately, the prince would definitely have obeyed.
After all, restoring the emperor's life is more important than anything else.
"Then let's stay for three to five days first," Zhu Gaochi said after thinking for a while.
"Where do you plan to stay, Your Highness? Otherwise, Your Highness will live in Daning Dusi, and I will ask the famous doctors from Baoding City to take His Highness's pulse and adjust his breathing." Wang Zheng said without losing any opportunity.
"Where do you live? Let me think about it." Zhu Gaochi looked at Xiao Chen hurriedly: "Where do you live? Otherwise, I will live at your place. I am used to living in Dongchang Prison, and now I see people from Dongchang
, just like being in the East Palace, feeling more friendly."
"I live in the courtyard next door. If His Highness doesn't mind, it's okay to live there." Xiao Chen said with a smile.
"Let's go, let's go now." As he said that, Zhu Gaochi seemed to be impatient to leave.
"Your Highness, wait a moment." Xiao Chen said, and then looked at Wang Zheng, the commander of Daning Dusi: "Commander Wang, His Highness lives in the courtyard next door. Please also ask the Commander to strengthen the military force nearby to ensure the safety of His Highness."
"Don't worry, Lord Ziyi. Whether you are in Baoding City or on the way back to Beijing, our Daning Commandery will treat you with the most urgent military situation and absolutely ensure the safety of His Highness." Wang Zheng also said respectfully to Xiao Chen.
"Okay, with what the commander has said, Dongchang will not need to mobilize manpower from the capital. When the time comes to escort His Royal Highness back to the capital, the commander must come to the Dongchang to sit down and let me fulfill my duties as a landlord."
"I will definitely do it. If I get to the capital, I will definitely pay a visit to Master Ziyi." Wang Zheng was so excited that he didn't know what to do.
Seeing the close attitude between Zhu Gaochi and Xiao Chen, Wang Zheng understood that the future future of the purple-clad captain must be limitless.
If the prince can successfully ascend the throne, he will definitely be the first person under the emperor.
No, no, no, it is very possible to be on an equal footing with the emperor.
If a person with such potential does not fawn over him now, then when will he wait?
"Your Highness has asked the commander to get up, why are you still kneeling here? Get up and set up defenses near the yard next door." Xiao Chen said with a smile.
"Yes, yes." Wang Zheng responded, slowly stood up and was about to leave.
"Commander, please wait a moment." Thinking of the people who were watching the academy, Xiao Chen stopped Wang Zheng.
"What are your orders, Master Ziyi?"
"Is there any place for guards in Daning Dusi?" Xiao Chen asked.
"Well, it really doesn't exist." Wang Zheng frowned, then relaxed, "Although it doesn't exist, making some space to guard these hundreds of people is just a piece of cake for Daning Dusi. Master Ziyi is Do you want to temporarily detain these people in the yard?"
"Yes." Xiao Chen nodded, "His Highness is weak, and I will not have time to review the case in the next few days. But these people are the gangsters who kidnapped His Highness, and they are crucial to finding out the forces behind them. Think about it. If they go, I can rest assured only if they are imprisoned in Daning Dusi."
Hearing Xiao Chen say this, Wang Zheng felt grateful in his heart.
This is clearly another opportunity for Lord Ziyi to make meritorious service to Daning Dusi!
"Don't worry, Master Ziyi. I will arrange for the manpower to escort them to Daning Dusi. When the master returns to the capital, they will be escorted back to the capital." Wang Zheng said hurriedly with his hands arched.
"Then I'll thank you, Commander. Dongchang will definitely remember this assistance from Daning Dusi." Xiao Chen returned the gift, "I will point out the irrelevant personnel inside, and the others can be taken away immediately."
With that said, Xiao Chen walked out of the woodshed and walked towards the front yard.
Zhu Gaochi followed closely behind, with Duan Tianming and Liu Rufeng closely guarding him on both sides.
In the courtyard, the more than two hundred people who were observing the academy stood dumbfounded, not knowing what to do.
And beside each of those men in shackles, stood two Dongchang captains.
When he arrived in front of everyone, Xiao Chen's eyes swept over everyone's faces one by one, and finally stopped on the leading middle-aged scribe.
"Dean, can you ask all the lecturers to come out?" Xiao Chen asked with a smile.
Taking a step forward, the middle-aged scribe had no expression on his face: "Come out, everyone."
"Wow, wow, wow," followed by twenty or thirty people dressed as scribes walked out.
Xiao Chen turned around and looked at Wang Zheng, the commander of Daning Dusi next to him: "Your Majesty Commander, let the soldiers put shackles on them."
Wang Zheng nodded and waved his big hand fiercely.
Dozens of soldiers walked out of the dense crowd around them and quickly shackled them.
Looking at the movements of these soldiers, Xiao Chen gave Wang Zheng a thumbs up: "The soldiers of Daning Dusi moved cleanly and neatly."
"Where. Master Ziyi said that he wanted to search the whole city to capture the gangsters, so I ordered the soldiers to put on shackles. I finally did not disappoint you." Wang Zheng bowed slightly and said very humbly.
Xiao Chen walked up to Ouyang Xiaoke again and smiled slightly: "Young Master Ouyang has made great contributions to the prince's rescue this time. When you look back, Your Highness and the Emperor will definitely reward you. But before the reward comes, I will give you a reward."
In the name of Dongchang, I will confiscate the ownership of the Auditing Academy and transfer the ownership to the Young Master. The Young Master can choose the people you trust among these unshackled scribes and continue to continue the Auditing Academy together."
"You mean, give me this auditorium?" Ouyang Xiaoke was startled and asked slowly.
"The purpose of the academy is to teach and educate people for the imperial court. Apart from Mr. Ouyang, a literati with general knowledge, who else has this qualification?" Xiao Chen said with a smile.
Ouyang Xiaoke looked embarrassed: "I'm afraid, I can't do it."
"So, you choose some assistants among these people. As for the funds, they will be guaranteed by Baoding Mansion from now on. As for safety, naturally there will be the escort from Daning Dusi." Xiao Chen smiled and looked at Wang Zheng,
"Lord Commander, am I right?"
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the first defense and protection target of Daning Dusi, and this auditorium is the second protection target." Wang Zheng responded loudly.
"Now Mr. Ouyang can let go and do more, right?" Xiao Chen chuckled.
"Okay. When I have money, I will pay you back for your meal." Ouyang Xiaoke said in a low voice.
"Easy to say, easy to say." Xiao Chen smiled and patted the other party's shoulder.
Passing by Ouyang Xiaoke and looking at the shackled men resisting with force, Xiao Chen's eyes suddenly turned cold.
