I am one year older than Chongzhen

At this time, the emperor was already considering how to reward Huang Yi and how to appoint Wang Kun, but he did not appoint him on the spot.

Because the current admiral of Dongchang is Cao Huachun, an old man from Qiandi, the emperor wanted to inform Cao Huachun first before announcing the matter.

Chongzhen was not planning to divide Cao Huachun's power.

He did not trust foreign ministers, but favored his inner ministers, especially Cao Huachun, who had been with him since he was a child.

The emperor planned to give Cao Huachun greater power, letting him be the general commander of the military affairs of the Beijing camp and in charge of the defense of Beijing.

Chongzhen was full of curiosity about Huang Yi, who was similar in age, and really wanted to create a chance to meet him.

He asked Wang Kun: "Is Vice-General Huang still being a maverick during this period and refusing to kneel down to any official?"

"It's always been like this. I'm often with him, and I'm used to his unreasonableness."

"He is still very defensive and refuses to leave his soldiers?"

"Yes!"

"Alas! I originally thought that Vice General Huang would pass by Gyeonggi when he returned to Xuanda, and I would summon him in person to commend him for his contribution and give him a generous reward."

Huang Yi's outspoken behavior was too weird. Safety came first. Of course Wang Kun didn't want Huang Yi to be able to face the saint. He said:

"Vice General Huang grew up in a barbarian land and doesn't know etiquette. It doesn't matter if His Majesty doesn't see you!"

"Not only does he not know etiquette, but he is also a bit unhuman. It's a blessing that you can get along with him!"

"Your Majesty, I actually don't want to have anything to do with this kind of person. It's just because he can fight and train troops and is useful to the country!"

Chongzhen seemed to be moved by Wang Kun again. He said: "It is useful to the country! Well said! You can bear the humiliation and bear the burden for this, of course I must be tolerant and generous!"

Hearing the emperor's statement, Wang Kun blinked his eyes and said:

"Vice General Huang has great ambitions, which can also be said to be arrogant and ambitious! I boldly implore Your Majesty to allow me to report truthfully."

Huang Yi would never be able to leave the army he had worked so hard to build, let alone go to the capital to see Emperor Chongzhen.

This made it impossible to bargain with the court in person, so it was necessary for Wang Kun to serve as a microphone.

Therefore, Huang Yi appropriately disclosed some demands when discussing things with Wang Kun.

Wang Kun also often tested Huang Yi, trying to find out Huang Yi's true thoughts.

One time, Wang Kun drank a little wine and sang Lu You's poem: "Back then, I was looking for a feudal lord for thousands of miles, and I was garrisoning Liangzhou on horseback. Where does the dream of Guanhe River end, the old mink fur is dark in the dust..."

Huang Yi laughed boldly and said: "The situation of becoming a marquis will be reduced soon. Breaking the earth and becoming a king is what a man pursues!"

Obviously this means something! Wang Kun was surprised and said: "After more than two hundred years of our dynasty, have we ever seen a king with a different surname?"

Huang Yi immediately retorted: "Then "King Shunyi" is fake?"

The so-called "King of Shunyi" was actually fake according to the Ming Dynasty's system. He only had a title and basically had no substantive power.

But this can only be known in the mind and cannot be said publicly.

So Wang Kun shut up decisively to avoid arguing with Huang Yi.

However, Huang Yi patted Wang Kun on the shoulder and encouraged: "As long as you work hard and work hard enough, you can be crowned king!"

Wang Kun was stunned by these words. The eunuch made him the king? This deputy general Huang really dares to think.

Huang Yi knew that this could not happen in the Chongzhen Dynasty, so he was just teasing Wang Kun.

He continued to lie: "Although I grew up in Franji and don't know much about history, I do know that there was an eunuch named Tong Guan who was awarded the title of King!"

Wang Kun couldn't help it anymore and whispered: "That's Song Huizong. Everyone knows that he is a foolish king! He is a king who has subjugated his country!"

"Oh? Really?" Huang Yi smiled and thought: Your master is not as good as Song Huizong. After the Northern Song Dynasty was destroyed, the Southern Song Dynasty continued to be popular for more than a hundred years! Chongzhen's country was overthrown, and his only surviving son was more than seventy years old and had been living in anonymity as an obedient citizen. Kang Mazi Lingchi also wiped out the whole family and cut off his descendants.

He continued to joke: "I also know that there is Wei Zhongxian, who actually lived to be nine thousand years old! I just don't know which dynasty he was an eunuch in."

He knew that calling Wei Zhongxian "Nine Thousand Years Old" was actually a way of flattering him, which was exactly the same as calling Liu Jin, the eunuch of Quan, "Emperor" in the Zhengde Dynasty. At this time, he was deliberately making nonsense to amuse the bored man.

"Oh my god! This man is so good at talking nonsense." Wang Kun was so frightened that he was sweating profusely.

Wei Zhongxian is the most unlucky person today. He cannot mention a single word, and he has reached the age of "nine thousand years". He does not have such an official position or title in the world!

Fortunately, this guy didn't see any civil servants or military officers, otherwise it would have been a disaster just from talking.

Wang Kun didn't have many extravagant hopes, and he didn't have the ability or courage to be like Wei Zhongxian - only a thousand years younger than the emperor.

But he knew that Huang Yi's ambition was to break the earth and become king outside the Great Wall.

How could Huang Yi not remember important historical events, especially those of the Ming Dynasty?

Where is the historical experience? Being a capable and loyal minister in the Ming Dynasty basically did not end well. Look at Yu Qian, Zhang Juzheng, Hu Zongxian, Qi Jiguang...

Being a minister of six departments or a cabinet minister in the Chongzhen Dynasty was also a high-risk occupation!

It is impossible for Huang Yi to be loyal to the Zhu family emperor who is unworthy of his throne.

It's just that if your strength has developed to such an extent, if you don't desecrate yourself, you will be even more jealous of the superiors.

Especially the suspicious Emperor Chongzhen.

Although the emperor has a request and it is difficult to deal with it, the best protective color is to be able to do it if he works hard.

The Ming Empire has been relatively stingy since Zhu Yuanzhang. Only sons born in his family can be crowned kings, but others have great difficulties.

More than a hundred years after Chongzhen, there was no one with a different surname who could be crowned king.

Therefore, the idea given by Huang Yi was to seize the "King Shunyi" who was canonized by the Mongols.

If Chongzhen is willing to canonize, he will have a way to break through the resistance.

So Wang Kun planned to reveal Huang Yi's thoughts while the emperor was talking about sex.

At this time, Emperor Chongzhen was in a good mood, which was a good time for Ke Ni to give his advice.

He said with great interest: "Oh? Tell me!"

"Vice General Huang once boasted in front of his slaves that his ambition was to become king beyond the Great Wall!"

"Proclaimed king outside the Great Wall?"

"Yes! He said he could kill the insignificant King Shunyi and replace him!"

"No sense of existence? Although this word is very strange, it is easy to understand. King Shunyi has indeed failed to live up to the imperial court's reward and is useless!"

"Vice General Huang has not read books by saints and sages. He must have read many miscellaneous books, so the words he speaks are all kinds of strange!"

Chongzhen pondered for a moment and said:

"So we can't look at him with the usual standards for treating the world. He can really stand outside the Great Wall to resist the Mongolian tribes, fight against the slaves, and be granted the title of King of Shunyi."

"Your Majesty has a commanding position, and I admire you greatly!"

"Being able to establish a foothold outside the Great Wall, and also be able to confront the Mongols and Jiannu for a long time, the imperial court needs more such talents, the better!"

"Your Majesty is wise! I will bear this in mind!" (End of this chapter)
