Daming: The most ruthless tyrant in history

Chapter 133 Governor of Shandong
"Not enough! These are far from enough. Don't worry about how much money you spend. What I have made clear must be implemented..."

Before Yuan Keli approached Dongnuan Pavilion, he heard the emperor's voice. This made Yuan Keli frown slightly and stopped subconsciously, but doubts arose in his heart. What kind of thing did the emperor pay so much attention to?
Outside Dongnuan Pavilion, a eunuch saw Yuan Keli, turned around and walked towards the palace, while other eunuchs and eunuchs stood quietly. As for the Han generals who were on duty, they all stood like sculptures with swords on their backs, without being affected at all.

"Yuan Shaoqing, the emperor has summoned you."

Not long after, Wang Tiqian, who was serving in front of the emperor, hurriedly walked out of Dongnuan Pavilion, holding a fly whisk in his hand, and walked quickly towards Yuan Keli.

Yuan Keli did not dare to hesitate, nodded slightly to Wang Tiqian, and then walked towards Dongnuang Pavilion with Wang Tiqian.

As they approached Dongnuan Pavilion, Fang Zhenghua, the eunuch in charge of the Royal Horse Guards, bowed his head and exited. Perhaps because he had something on his mind, Fang Zhenghua didn't notice Yuan Keli looking at him, so he turned around and hurried away towards Qianqing Gate.

What will happen?
With doubts, Yuan Keli walked into Dongnuan Pavilion.

"Give Yuan Qing a seat to serve tea."

When Zhu Youxiao saw Yuan Keli coming over, a smile appeared on his face. When he saw Yuan Keli was about to salute, he stretched out his hand and said, "I will waive the big rules."

"Thank you sir."

When Yuan Keli was saluting and thanking him, several eunuchs walked in outside the palace, either moving brocade stools or holding tea cups, and their movements were not sloppy at all.

"Show these memorials to Yuan Qing."

Zhu Youxiao suppressed his smile, pointed at a pile of memorials and said, "Yuan Qing, I summoned you to the palace this time for important matters."

When Yuan Keli heard this, he stood up as soon as his buttocks fell down.

At this moment, Wang Tiqian came over holding the memorial.

"Sit down and watch."

Zhu Youxiao said: "There is no one else here, so there is no need to be so formal."

"The minister obeys the order."

Yuan Keli first bowed, then took the memorial in front of him and sat on the brocade stool, but doubts arose in Yuan Keli's heart.

Since the conclusion of the Battle of Saarhu, Yuan Keli has become much more relaxed. As Zuo Shaoqing of Dali Temple, although he is responsible for many things, for Yuan Keli, these are all done with ease.

Great talents like Yuan Keli cannot stay in the center and waste time. They should go to a local place to preside over military affairs and avoid the intrigues of the court.

Zhu Youxiao, who was sitting cross-legged on the Luohan bed, saw Yuan Keli flipping through the memorials, his originally Shuzhan frowned slightly, and secretly sighed in his heart.

The evil tendencies have not been corrected.

No matter how capable and independent you are, you will probably not be able to function in this central court. It is extremely normal to suffer from constraints and calculations behind your back.

What's more, the Ming Dynasty not only had a central court, but also local bureaus.

"Your Majesty, are all these true?"

Yuan Keli's face changed slightly, he raised his head and looked at the emperor and said: "These memorials submitted by Governor Ji Liao and Liaodong Economic Strategy were previously in court..."

"These are secret notes."

Zhu Youxiao raised his eyebrows and said with a serious expression: "I also hope that these are not true, but in fact it is like this, it is shocking!

Whether it is Liaodong or Beizhili, many situations are more serious than I expected. On the side of Governor Ji Liao, I can still punish the Jin Yiwei and arrest them, but Liaodong is beyond our reach. "

No wonder there are fewer Jin Yiwei in Beijing recently.

Yuan Keli secretly thought, but if these situations are true, wouldn't the criticality of the Liao incident be much more dangerous than expected?

When he thought of Liao affairs, Yuan Keli's thoughts became confused.

"My dear, take another look at this memorial."

Zhu Youxiao took out a memorial and said, "This is a secret memorial submitted by Tianjin Bingbei Road. Chen Qiyu made it at Tianjin Sanwei. I am very pleased."

Ok?
With all kinds of doubts, Yuan Keli put down the memorial in his hand, and Wang Tiqian came over holding the memorial. Yuan Keli knew about Chen Qiyu.

When he was appointed to Tianjin Bingbei Road under the Central Government's orders, he caused a lot of criticism in the court. Later, other things happened in the court, and this trend stopped.

Rectify the health centers, inspect the farmland, gather people to open up wasteland, and create the Tianjin Navy...

After Yuan Keli read the contents of the memorial one by one, he realized at a certain moment that the emperor was planning the Liao affair very early on.

"Ai Qing must have guessed it too."

Zhu Youxiao said: "I have been planning a war against the Liao since very early. The Liao land alone is not enough for the Jianlu rebellion. If we want to suppress the Jianlu rebellion, the country must give absolute support.

But the disastrous defeat in the Battle of Sarhu sounded the alarm for me.If the state and the dynasty cannot coordinate internal and external affairs well, it may be difficult to achieve the desired results and then launch a thunderous attack on the Jianlu. "

Yuan Keli nodded in approval.

Responsible for the personal trial of the Battle of Saarhu case, he learned a lot of truth from Yang Hao. Combining the memorials and documents he sorted out, Yuan Keli knew that the defeat of that battle was doomed.

Ever since the preparations for the counter-insurgency war, the Liao Territory seemed to be stable, but in fact it was very chaotic. Not only that, it was also like this in the central court and in the customs.

The imperial court recruited many elites to go to Liao, but after all, it was an external battle. On the other hand, the Jianlu were waiting for work. Coupled with the harsh environment in the left area of ​​Liao, this led to the final defeat of that battle.

"My dear, I plan to set up towns in Denglai under our jurisdiction in Shandong and try to prepare for the establishment of Denglai Navy."

While Yuan Keli was thinking about it, Zhu Youxiao said with a serious expression: "Ai Qing, would you like to share my worries and go to Shandong in accordance with the Central Order, succeed Zhao Yan as governor of Shandong, inspect Shandong and other places, supervise camps and fields, and manage rivers and supervise military affairs? "

"!!!"

Yuan Keli was shocked. If this news spread out of the palace, it would definitely cause an uproar among the government and the public.

"Your Majesty~"

Yuan Keli didn't know what to say for a moment.

"I know...if I follow the imperial decree, I will definitely be criticized."

Zhu Youxiao waved his hand and said: "It's just that the urgency of the Liao affairs at the moment makes it impossible for me to argue with Yousi. Taking advantage of the lack of clarity from the Minister of Civil Affairs, I have to arrange the Liao affairs as soon as possible.

Let the governor-general of Jiliao, which is adjacent to Liao, and Tianjin Sanwei and Shandong, which are across the sea from Liaodong, be under the control of the Ming Dynasty. In this way, if any changes in Liao affairs occur, I can calmly face it in Beijing. "

It turns out that the Minister of Civil Affairs has been vacant all this time. Your Majesty is doing it for Liao affairs.

Yuan Keli knew what kind of uproar this incident caused in the government.

Yuan Keli thought about many possibilities, but he did not think of these.

"The minister is willing to share the worries for His Majesty."

After hearing this, Yuan Keli made up his mind, knelt down and worshiped the emperor, and said with a serious expression: "The two prefectures of Denglai under the jurisdiction of Shandong are across the sea from Liaonan. If we can really set up a town and train Denglai Navy, if something unexpected happens in Liao, we can rush to help Liao as quickly as possible."

"This is exactly what I thought."

Zhu Youxiao got off the Luohan bed and walked towards Yuan Keli, with a look of relief on his face and said: "I have seen the unhealthy trends in the Ming Dynasty's officialdom. If Aiqing is allowed to serve as the governor of Denglai, there will be no constraints.

In this case, I simply asked Aiqing to serve as governor of Shandong. As for Zhao Yan, I summoned him to Beijing and took up the post of Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of War. I know that this man has unique insights into military matters.

Now when I go to Shandong, Aiqing will take the title of censor of the right capital. He will patrol Shandong and other places, supervise the camps and fields, and supervise the rivers and supervise the military affairs. I will give you the king's flag and a python robe. I will send people to Shandong with Aiqing to wait for Aiqing. He is familiar with Shandong's military and political affairs. If there is any need, he can directly submit a secret report to Beijing. "

"The minister leads the decree to thank you!"

Yuan Keli sighed with emotion, his eyes were slightly red, and he was about to kneel on the ground, but was supported by Zhu Youxiao. This trust made Yuan Keli not know what to say.

The king's flag is not something that can be given by anyone. It represents the privilege of doing something expeditiously. In an emergency, you can kill it first and report it later without having to report it to the court.

In fact, since Zhu Youxiao became emperor, only three people have had such honors: Xiong Tingbi, the governor of Liaodong, Wang Zaijin, the governor of Jiliao, and Qin Liangyu, the heroine general.

And Yuan Keli, who took over as governor of Shandong, is the fourth person!
There are too many things that cannot be accomplished in the capital alone. As the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Youxiao cannot leave the capital, so he needs a group of pillars to help him solve problems locally.

"Aiqing went to Shandong, so you need to take care of yourself."

Looking at Yuan Keli who was slightly excited, Zhu Youxiao said with great sincerity: "I give Aiqing a word, even if it is difficult to do, it will be done, and although the journey is long, it will be done soon. In Shandong, I will leave it to Aiqing. There are some things." , I must do a good job, no matter how difficult it is!"

"I will bear this in mind!"

Yuan Keli bowed and saluted and said: "Your Majesty, please rest assured. When I arrive in Shandong, I will definitely familiarize myself with the military and government as soon as possible, let the two prefectures of Denglai set up towns, and prepare for the establishment of the Denglai Navy."

"I believe in love."

Zhu Youxiao took the file submitted by Wang Tiqian and handed it to Yuan Keli, "These are some of my assumptions. After Aiqing is familiar with Shandong's military affairs, he will judge the situation and clarify them one by one. If there are any inconsistencies, Aiqing does not need to force them to clarify. .”

"I understand."

Yuan Keli took the file respectfully.

The governor of Shandong made the matter clear, and Zhu Youxiao breathed a sigh of relief.

Perhaps after Yuan Keli took office in Shandong, he might not be able to catch up with the Liaozuo battle, and the effect he could play might not be great. However, with Yuan Keli in charge of the important land of Shandong, Zhu Youxiao could sleep peacefully in the capital.

After all, in addition to the Liao Dynasty, there are other things happening in Shandong. Zhu Youxiao must make arrangements in advance. These require a capable and independent leader, and Yuan Keli can make Zhu Youxiao Don’t worry, my dear pillar!
