This time, Xiao Chen specifically added the name of Han Wang Zhu Gaoxu to the list of people involved in Ma Yunshan.
However, after the report was reported to the emperor, the emperor lightly spent it with a cinnabar pen.
Xiao Chen did not dare to ask the emperor why he crossed it out, and the emperor also did not ask the specific process of how Zhu Gaoxu was implicated.
But Xiao Chen understood that the emperor still felt a little indebted to the King of Han in his heart.
A good-looking prince had one of his hands cut off by himself. The reason for cutting off the hand was not only based on national law, but also stood on the high ground of morality, preventing the emperor from having any fits.
Being indebted to the King of Han means that I am absolutely dissatisfied with myself for cutting off one of the King of Han's hands.
From when the prince was kidnapped and he was immediately put on file for review by the Inspectorate, to when Ma Yunshan was promoted by the emperor to the rank of commander of the Jinyiwei for just proposing to narrow the scope of Dongchang's firearms, to this time he was crossed out without any explanation.
Xiao Chen understood Zhu Gaoxu's name. Ming Chengzu was still wary of Dongchang from the bottom of his heart.
And he was even more subtly suppressing himself.
But Zhu Gaoxu will not die until he is eliminated, and his desire to covet the unification of the Ming Dynasty will not die.
Now that the emperor has publicly protected him, Dongchang may not be able to do anything for the time being.
Forget it, let's leave this matter to the prince.
Since re-entering the East Palace, the prince has not done anything beautiful to prove his ability. If he can completely defeat the King of Han, he will gain more fame in the court.
Just after walking out of the gate of the East Factory, Xiao Chen stopped and looked at Du Shaoqin next to him: "You must be careful about the Liujie monk in the prison and the shopkeeper of the grocery store. They must keep it secret and never let anyone outside.
People know that there are two of these people in prison."
Du Shaoqin couldn't help but be stunned: "After failing to implicate the prince this time, these two people should have no role? I was thinking of asking you just now if you want to get rid of them."
"Keep it, you must keep it, and keep it secretly. One day, it may come in handy."
"Okay, since you said that, you must have a point, and I will be optimistic about them."
Xiao Chen nodded and looked at Liu Rufeng on the right: "Chief Liu, how have you considered what I told you?"
"To be honest, I still don't want to go back to Jinyiwei. You are used to this. Staying alone in Jinyiwei makes me uncomfortable just thinking about it." Lowering his head, Liu Rufeng did not have the courage to face Xiao Chen directly.
"Sigh." Xiao Chen sighed, "The situation of our Dongchang is becoming increasingly severe. It seems to be prospering, but in fact, in the emperor's mind, it has reached its highest point. And next, the first thing the emperor has to do is
, is to re-adjust the Jin Yiwei so that they and Dongchang can check and balance each other again. Xu Kaiying's ability is just like that. If we only rely on him, it is very possible for a second or third Ma Yunshan to appear in the Jin Yiwei. And from the emperor
From the point of view of asking for greater influence this time, Jin Yiwei’s imperial edict is likely to be restarted.”
"Tell me, if Jinyiwei's imperial prison is restarted, will they have the power to directly arrest our Dongchang people?" Duan Tianming asked in a low voice.
Xiao Chen smiled faintly: "The imperial prison, as the name suggests, is a prisoner captured by imperial edict. With the emperor's imperial edict, who in the world can't capture it?"
"Doesn't that mean that once the imperial edict is launched, Dongchang will act based on Jin Yiwei's color?"
"That's not true. However, it is true that he was crushed by the Jin Yiwei."
Duan Tianming turned around and looked at Liu Rufeng next to him: "Did you hear that? Did you hear that? The Jinyiwei is about to ride on the head of our Dongchang, and you still choose to back down for the sake of your own comfort? If I have the ability to do it in the Jinyiwei
With Qianhu’s qualifications, he went back without saying a word, controlled Jinyiwei, and advanced and retreated with Dongchang instead of becoming Dongchang’s opponent.”
"Actually, it's not that I don't want to go back, I'm afraid that I won't do well if I go back." Liu Rufeng said softly.
"What can't you do? Be tougher and you can do anything. If it doesn't work, Dongchang will cooperate with you and dig a few holes to bury those thorns." Xiao Chen turned around and said, "Just say
,Are you going back or not?"
"Now that we have reached this point, if I still insist on staying in Dongchang and not going back, I will be too ignorant." Liu Rufeng said.
"Okay, let's go back to the Thirteenth Battle and immediately write a letter to the factory owner and ask him to arrange everything."
Since Xiao Chen was leaving for Gongchang Mansion soon, Du Shaoqin did not go back directly to Dongchang Prison and followed a few others towards the Thirteenth Battle.
In the Thirteenth Battle, in the hall named Dongchang Operations Office by Xiao Chen, as several oil lamps were lit one by one, the entire hall suddenly became bright.
Xiao Chen sat at the table, spread out the paper in front of him, picked up the wolf pen on the inkstone and prepared to write.
After thinking for a moment, he slowly put down the wolf-hair pen in his hand.
"Compared with the emperor's current attitude towards Dongchang, I'm afraid the way we thought of in the past to advance this matter won't work."
"Why doesn't it work?" Duan Tianming asked.
"Captain Liu is now from Dongchang. If the factory boss directly proposed that he serve as the deputy commander of Jinyiwei, the emperor would definitely not agree. The emperor would not let Dongchang's hands reach into Jinyiwei."
"Yes." Duan Tianming and others nodded.
Xiao Chen raised his left hand and gently pinched his forehead, his mind spinning rapidly.
Several other people also lowered their heads, thinking about how to deal with it more appropriately.
Suddenly turning his head, Xiao Chen looked at Liu Rufeng with a smile, and couldn't help but feel his scalp tingling at the sight of him.
"I'm afraid I have to offend Captain Liu and come up with a cruel trick."
"Bitter meat plan?"
"The emperor's first requirement for the core candidates for Jinyiwei must be to disagree with Dongchang. The first thing we have to do is to let Mr. Factory find an opportunity to complain in front of the emperor and return you to Jinyiwei."
Xiao Chen chuckled, and started writing quickly while a few people looked at him in surprise.
It took almost an hour for Xiao Chen to finish writing his plan.
After waiting for the ink on the paper to dry, he carefully folded it in half and handed it to Liu Rufeng: "During the period when Xiao Lizi is away, Mr. Factory Master will take two hours every day to go back to the East Factory to handle matters.
Tomorrow, when the factory owner comes back, go and hand this letter to the factory owner."
"Okay." After taking the letter, Liu Rufeng pulled up her clothes and put it in her arms.
Xiao Chen looked at Duan Tianming next to him: "Count the fifty brothers who are in the Thirteenth Army, just pack them up and let's set off."
Half an hour later, the team gathered in the courtyard.
Duan Tianming and Du Shaoqin personally opened the door for the team and watched them disappear into the night.
The next day.
At noon.
After lunch, Ming Chengzu stretched himself and walked into the palace.
Lin Shangli followed closely behind him. The moment the other person sat on the dragon bed, he hurriedly squatted down, held an ankle, and began to take off his shoes.
"I'm really old. I feel sleepy just after lunch." He closed his eyes lightly and slowly fell down, Ming Chengzu said.
"It is said that spring is sleepy, autumn is tired, and summer takes a nap. Now that the weather is getting hotter day by day, it is normal to feel sleepy in the afternoon. Your Majesty is overthinking it."
After saying that, Lin Shangli stood up a little, bowed his body slightly, hugged Ming Chengzu's feet that had taken off his shoes and stockings, and gently placed them on the dragon bed.
Then he picked up a light yellow blanket at the foot of the bed, spread it with both hands, and covered the other person's body.
After standing by the bed for a while, looking at the other person's eyes closed and breathing evenly, he slowly turned around and prepared to leave.
"Tell me, where are Xiao Chen and the others now?"
Ming Chengzu's voice came from behind.
Lin Shangli hurriedly turned back: "Your Majesty, you still can't delay taking a nap in the afternoon. When you get up, I will talk to you."
"Although I feel sleepy, I can't sleep when I think of the suffering of the people of Ming Dynasty." Ming Chengzu slowly opened his eyes.
"Alas." Lin Shangli sighed, "The emperor is devoted to caring for the world, but he doesn't worry about his own body, which makes the slaves feel distressed."
After saying that, he picked up the palace fan next to him, sat on the edge of the bed, and gently shook it towards Ming Chengzu.
"Xiao Chen took fifty captains from Dongchang and set out overnight last night. According to their foot power, they should have passed Baoding and will be almost in Shanxi."
"Shanxi is still more than two thousand miles away from Gongchang. The farther back we go, the more people and horses will be exhausted, and the slower our feet will be. I am worried in my heart."
Raising a hand and placing it on his forehead, Ming Chengzu said slowly.
