Chapter 1195: Wage Increase PlanChapter 1113: Long Huaiyu Confesses to His Crimes

"Eight hundred"

Xu Wei was taken aback.

These eight hundred people are a far cry from the former national Jinyiwei deputy commander.

"Eight hundred monks."

Li Chen saw right through Xu Wei's thoughts and said with a hint of displeasure, "Each one of them is a master who can take on a hundred. Their only shortcoming is the lack of formal military training. Even so, if you throw them into the world, they could establish their own sects in the blink of an eye. You wouldn't be happy managing them"

Xu Wei quickly said, "No, no, I was just curious."

"Let me tell you, these 800 men are the best in the land. I will ensure your logistical support is beyond reproach. Your sole mission and objective is to build for me a cavalry force that can perform at peak capacity under any circumstance."

Upon hearing Li Chen's words, Xu Wei immediately understood the meaning of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. He said without hesitation, "Your Highness can rest assured, this subordinate will definitely not disappoint Your Highness' expectations."

Don't get too excited.

Li Chen said, "Having chosen this mission, you will have no official position. There will be no record of you or these 800 men in either the Ministry of War or the Five Armies General's Mansion. You won't even receive recognition from the court. All logistics can only be handled secretly, and training must take place in an uninhabited valley outside the city. Everything is subject to strict confidentiality."

Li Chen's words made Xu Wei waver for a moment.

After all, when one enters the imperial service, no one doesn't want to bring glory to their ancestors.

But this wavering only lasted for a fleeting moment, and then Xu Wei's eyes became firm and clear again.

"Your Highness, I am willing."

Six simple words made Li Chen very satisfied.

"Very good."

Li Chen rose and walked around the imperial table to come before Xu Wei, giving his shoulder a heavy pat. "I've been waiting for you," he said. "When you return after making your mark on the world, I will definitely repay you tenfold for everything you deserve."

Xu Wei smiled nonchalantly and said, "It is my fortune to be able to relieve Your Highness's worries."

An hour later, Xu Wei left the East Palace.

There was no farewell banquet, nor any letter of appointment. There was only Li Chen's token.

This token comes from Master Jiewang and is only used to let the eight hundred monks know Xu Wei's identity and obey his orders.

And this journey would undoubtedly be a difficult and arduous path for Xu Wei.

As soon as Xu Wei left, Chen Tong followed closely behind.

"Your Highness."

Chen Tong came to the side hall and immediately presented Li Chen with a letter of confession.

This is all that Long Huaiyu confessed...shocking to behold.

Li Chen raised his eyelids and glanced at Chen Tong, then began to read the confession letter in his hand.

The confession was personally written by Long Huaiyu. Although it was a confession, it didn't mention any of Long Huaiyu's own crimes.

After all, it doesn't matter whether his crimes are written down or not, the outcome will be the same anyway.

Herein are listed all of Wen Wang's crimes.

"Privately established six departments to manage the fiefdom, with powers and titles all modeled after the Six Ministries. It even had a fake cabinet called the "Secretarial Bureau."

"The number of troops greatly exceeded the court's permitted limit for vassal kings. In plain sight and under the cover of darkness, they numbered over 200,000 soldiers disguised as household servants, slaves, and tenant farmers."npower and resources transporting it from Mount Tai. The cost involved is unimaginable.“Later, this palace felt that just a stone wasn’t enough, so I engraved four characters on it. These four charact...
