After Cheng Fu Zhao left, Li Chen felt somewhat tired.
While things seemed to go smoothly tonight, every step was fraught with danger.
A small slip can lead to a major disaster.
If there had really been a change of troops at the city gate just now, not to mention that the rear base of Gansu and Shaanxi would be in danger, even his own personal safety would be at stake.
Even under the protection of Gong Huiyu and the monks, he would escape with his life, but Gan Shan would inevitably fall completely to King Ning.
At that time, King Ning allied with the Gansu and Shaanxi regions to cut off the imperial court's connection at Yueya Pass. Yueya Pass became an enclave, and that really caused a big problem.
This will directly lead to Li Chen's entire plan being declared a complete failure before it was fully deployed.
However, at that time, Li Chen couldn't use a conciliatory approach and could only deal with people like He Long using such iron-fisted methods.
Otherwise, how can Gansu and Shaanxi provinces be obedient
A disobedient Gan-Shan and a Gan-Shan who sought refuge with the King of Ning are essentially the same.
But fortunately, it all passed without incident.
"Your Highness, your room is ready. Please get some rest early, Your Highness, we have an early start tomorrow." Wan Jiajiao said at the right time.
Nodding, Li Chen was about to leave when he suddenly thought of something and asked, "Has Xiao Wa returned"
"Not yet." Wan Jiajiao shook her head and replied.
"Let him come see this palace if he returns."
After Li Chen finished speaking, he went to the room that had been prepared for him.
After a while, Li Chen finished bathing and changed his clothes. Xiaozi was already kneeling at the door.
Xiao Chuanzi entered the room. Dressed in clean clothes, he no longer bore the bloody appearance from before. Li Chen smiled and said, "You have guts."
Opportunities are always given to those who know how to seize them, and Xiaozi is a representative figure among them.
Prior to that, outside the city gate, anyone who was even slightly timid would have been destined to remain a common eunuch by Li Chen's side for the rest of their lives.
But Xiaozi seized the opportunity. His ruthlessness, decisiveness, and courage made Li Chen feel that letting Xiaozi just be a tea server was a waste of his talent.
Little Stream knelt and said, "I don't understand anything else, I only know that it is something His Highness wants me to do. Even if I die, I cannot frown."
"Not bad."
Li Chen nodded in satisfaction and said, "I love to hear this."
"Can you read" Li Chen asked again.
"The little eunuch answered bashfully, 'I was born into poverty and sent to the palace at a young age where I underwent castration. Besides my own name, I don't recognize many characters.'"
"Jiaojiao."
Li Chen turned to Wan Jiaojiao and said, "Remember this, after returning to the capital, arrange for someone to teach him how to read."
"Yes, my lady," Wan Jiaojiao replied softly.
Li Chen turned to Xiao Wa Zi and said, "Do you know why I want you to learn to read"
Little stream still answered in the same way, "I don't know, but Your Highness has taught me to read, and I will do my best to learn."
With a light chuckle, Li Chen added, "When you can proficiently memorize the entire Thousand Character Classic, this palace will appoint you to work in the East Factory."
Li Chen glanced meaningfully at Xiaogzi and said, “The Dongchang, is there still an empty post for a factory supervisor”
After a moment, Xiaozi carefully exited Li Chen's room.
Turning around, Xiaogongzi's trembling lips finally dared to quiver with excitement.
That was the place of all eunuchs' dreams.
Only eunuchs who have entered the Dongchang are worthy of having power.
But today, he finally saw a glimmer of hope!
