After Duan Jinjiang's analysis, the housekeeper suddenly looked horrified.

"Master, you mean... the prince is going to attack us!?"

Duan Jinjiang looked sinister and said, "It's not sure yet, it's just my guess, but this guess is likely to come true..."

"You go prepare the car first, I'll go to Zhao Mansion immediately... Then, you can quickly check the news. The first is to find out what happened in the inn today, and the second is to find out whether the prince has left the East Palace today.

, If you have any news, wait for me to come back and report it immediately."

"I'll do it right away."

"Go quickly!"

...

Eastern Palace, Xizheng Hall.

"Your Highness, just news came from Duan Jinjiang went to Zhao's Mansion."

Chen Tong stood respectfully in the middle of the hall to report.

Li Chen was looking at today's memorial, and heard this, he picked up the tea at hand and took a sip, without raising his eyelids, saying, "I understand."

Looking at the memorial in hand, Li Chen said with a smile: "This memorial was presented by Guan Yantao, the governor of the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Province, saying that the coastal defense of Jiangsu and Zhejiang urgently needs to be strengthened, and some equipment and warships have been disrepaired for a long time.

, requested the court to allocate 100,000 taels of silver to repair it."

Chen Tong was stunned when he heard this and said, "This is unreasonable."

"My sea defense of Qin has always been the focus of defense against Japanese pirates. At this time, Japan was invading the Korean Kingdom and was unable to harass the imperial sea defense. What's more, if the warships were disrepaired, they needed funds to repair them. According to the principle, they were also the local commander-in-chief.

It will be reported to the Ministry of War in the form of official documents, and will only be reported in the form of a memorial after the Ministry of War approved it. When will it be his turn, the governor in charge of local administration, come to ask for military expenses?"

Li Chen sneered: "You, the deputy commander of the Jinyiwei, understand the truth, but some people don't understand it."

As he spoke, Li Chen threw the memorial at will.

Chen Tong looked at it, but saw that the memorial had been made in red, which belonged to Duan Jinjiang's name.

He took a breath. This Duan Jinjiang was really a good idea. The prince was worried that there was no reason or excuse to mess with him, so he hurriedly stretched his head over.

"Tell Si Lijian that this memorial will be deducted first and don't send it back to Jiangsu and Zhejiang." Li Chen said indifferently.

Chen Tong bowed and said, "I understand the humble position."

"Sanbao has been to Xishan Province for a long time, but is there any news coming?" Li Chen asked.

Chen Tong hurriedly replied: "There is no news yet, but the factory brought the news back a few days ago, saying that some clues have been found and the investigation is being carried out in a hurry. I believe that the results will be achieved in less than a long time."

Li Chen picked up the next memorial and read it casually, "I plan to separate the power of the Dongchang Factory and the Jinyiwei, what do you think?"

Just one short sentence is not long, but the amount of information contained in Chen Tong suddenly raised his heart to his throat.

Before he could express his opinion, Li Chen's words continued: "In fact, this idea has been around for a long time. Dongchang is now overpowering, and the procuratorial power and military power are concentrated on Sanbao alone, both for public and private purposes.

It can only be a temporary solution in an emergency. Now that I have encountered such an opportunity, when the Three Treasures come back, I will start working on it."

He glanced at Chen Tong with a flushed face and Li Chen said, "With your understanding of the Three Treasures, how will he think?"

Under Li Chen's indifferent gaze, Chen Tong's face tightened.

He told himself that he must not be too excited at this moment, otherwise it would be greedy for power in the prince's eyes.

But you must not be as if nothing is done, otherwise the performance will be worse than the worse.
