nd gently brushed the disheveled gray-white hair from his forehead back behind his ears. He said in a warm voice: “The Chief Minister is the pillar of the Great Qin, so you must take good care of your...Chapter 1077 The Three Treasures are Going to Die
The post of Commander of the Jinyiwei was not very high in rank, it was at the level of Zheng Si Pin (Junior Fourth Rank).
Left in a desolate place, it might be considered an individual of some worth. But placed amidst the bustling crowds of the capital city, where officials are plentiful, it wouldn't even be worthy of a glance.
But combined with the actual power of the Jinyiwei, this fourth-rank position can be said to be one of the most valuable fourth-rank official positions in the entire Qin Empire.
even possibly the only.
Which official among those present in the court holds a rank lower than the fourth rank
But they could afford to disregard a fourth-rank official, yet had to treat the commander of the Jinyiwei with utmost care.
This is an official position that can behead a high-ranking official.
Most importantly, it's the latter half of this command.
Who doesn't know that the Factory Head of the Dongchang was Sanbao From the Taishang Emperor to the Crown Prince, Sanbao has always been trusted by this father and son. He hasn't moved from his post since the establishment of the Dongchang.
Now, the Crown Prince has appointed Chen Tong to manage the Dongchang.
What does this mean
This means that the prince gave Chen Tong the power of the Three Treasures.
What about the three treasures
Everyone's emotions surged like boiling water after Li Chen's single sentence.
They scratched their heads, wishing they could grab Li Chen by the neck and force him to explain his reasoning.
Chen Tong himself was stunned.
He looked up at Li Chen, hesitated for a moment, but seeing that Li Chen had no intention of explaining, he bowed his head and said, "My humble self thanks His Royal Highness the Prince. My humble self will definitely live up to His Royal Highness's expectations, devoting my life and soul to this task, dying without regret."
Although he was trying to show his loyalty and determination, Chen Tong himself felt that his words lacked conviction.
This matter, I can't get over a hurdle, what about the three treasures
Li Chen didn't explain, but soon the result was laid bare before everyone.
The door to the sleeping quarters opened.
It was Sān Bǎo who came out.
To be precise, it was San Bao who had aged a dozen years.
Sambao, though quite old, still exudes youthful vigor thanks to his profound internal energy.
The three treasures before me, the person is still the same person, but their skin is loose and wrinkled with age spots. They look aged and frail, as if all their energy and spirit have been drained away.
Even the officials on site couldn't believe their eyes.
Even Zhao Xuanji furrowed his brows, pondered for a while, and then turned his head as if he knew what had happened.
Three Treasure carefully closed the door, and when he turned around, his foot stumbled, nearly sending him to the ground.
This time, it was Li Chen who personally helped him up.
Holding onto Sanbao's arm, Li Chen could feel the slight tremor in Sanbao's body, as if a candle flame in the wind.
The Three Treasures looked up and stared at Li Chen.
The two locked eyes.
"Thank you, Your Highness."
Sānbǎo's voice was hoarse, laced with visible weakness.
"This palace will call the imperial physician for you."
Li Chen, after speaking, wanted to summon the imperial physician, but he was stopped by San Bao.
"Your Highness, there is no need for the imperial physicians to worry. This servant's time has come."
Sanzhao laughed very freely. He grasped Li Chen's arm tightly and said, "The emperor has fallen into a deep sleep. Although it is difficult to wake him again, after all, the emperor is still here."
"I have lost all my inner strength, and time is running out."
Li Chen fell silent.
This was the first time he felt sadness because someone was about to die.
After assuming the regency, following the Great Emperor's arrangement, he accepted the Three Treasures.
There is suspicion, there is probing, there is trust, and even reliance.
Of course, there were also times when accidents happened, which made Li Chen very dissatisfied.
But Sanzang's loyalty and capability are undeniable.
Whether it was martial prowess or cunning strategy, during Li Chen's most difficult initial phase, the Three Treasures provided him with assistance that others could hardly fathom.
Now, the Three Treasures are about to die.es."Li Chen's words were earth-shattering.also completely shattered the simple thoughts that had just arisen in Jian Xin's heart.He gave Li Chen a long, hard look and then suddenly smiled, saying, "Yo...
