Hundreds of households in Liaodong, covering the light with one hand

Chapter 143 Han Yuchen is in danger!

Wang Qi's government office in the capital is still the Sanjin House in Renshoufang given to him by Zhu Youxiao.

The difference from the past is that the plaque has been changed from Dingyuan Houfu to Langguogongfu.

Moreover, unlike the colder atmosphere in the past, since the news came that Duke Lang was about to return to the capital, the entire surrounding area of ​​Duke Lang's mansion has been visited every day by disciples and scholars who want to gain access to the Lang Kingdom. This high-legged scholar official is like a crucian carp crossing the river, and the office is almost filled with daily greetings.

There are rumors among the people in the capital that those who want to work as servants in the outer courtyard of Duke Lang's mansion don't have fifty taels of silver to even think about it. And this is just the starting price, and the places are limited. If there is competition, , more than a hundred taels is not impossible, but it is simply impossible to enter the inner courtyard to work.

Currently, there are two types of maids working in the inner courtyard in Duke Qi's Mansion of Lang State. One is a servant of the Jiaodong Prince's family who is sent from Zhucheng to work in the Duke of Lang State's Mansion. They belong to the family, are reliable and loyal, and there are others. One type is the maids from the inner courtyard of the palace, personally selected by Queen Zhang Yan. It is said that among them are the emperor's will. For the happiness of his sister, Princess Ningde, the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty has done his best.

At this moment, Wang Qi has entered the government office. In the back garden, the nearly century-old Shandong red beech tree is still tall and straight. Wang Qi has been away from Beijing for more than a month, and the maids and servants in the mansion are cleaning and cleaning every day, waiting for the master. After returning home, the garden is full of flowers, all kinds of flowers are dazzling and fragrant.

"Sir, Mr. Ye, the Chief Assistant, is here to pay homage." Wang Shouxin had already taken off his armor in the palace. He didn't see the hilt of the knife with him. He was dressed in red and black variegated brocade, and he looked extremely strong.

Wang Qi threw the cooked and crushed corn kernels into the pond from a distance. Seven or eight foot-long koi fish jumped out of the water from time to time, competing for the delicious food. The entire pond was rippled with dragonflies dancing, which was warm and beautiful.

"I'll wait for him here."

"Yes!" Wang Shouxin bowed and slowly retreated.

In less than half an hour, the dispute at Chaoyang Gate must have spread throughout Beijing and to the inner courtyard of the palace. Ye Xianggao had no reason not to know about it, and considering the necessity for the two to cooperate, the chief minister also It's time to see the Duke of Guo, who has just returned from his service.

"Ye pays homage to the Duke of Lang!" When Ye Xianggao was ten steps away from Wang Qi, he had already bowed down and bowed deeply: "The Duke of Lang established the country's prestige in the first battle in Liaodong and supported the country. He is the minister of the imperial court. "example"

"Master Ye," Wang Qi clapped his hands and turned sideways to greet him with his hands: "You don't have to be so polite. Sit down and I'll treat you to a taste of Liaodong's small leaf tea."

Standing up straight and looking at Wang Qi with a smile on his face, Ye Xianggao's original nervous mood relaxed.

If Wang Qi takes advantage of the power of victory to show off his power in the capital and wants to dictate the political affairs of the court, it will really make Ye Xianggao uneasy. No one will like an ally who is too arrogant and domineering.

Now it seems that Wang Qi still has some sense of proportion.

After all, he didn’t slap Liu Zongzhou at Chaoyang Gate.
  "I just entered the palace and met the emperor," Ye Xianggao sat opposite Wang Qi with a hint of comfort in his tone: "The emperor highly praised Duke Lang for his achievements in Liaodong, and the court is also preparing to ask for another reward for Duke Lang. , because of the great victory in Liaodong, the entire court and even the entire capital are excited for the achievements of Duke Lang. The restoration of the Ming Dynasty is achieved in one fell swoop. Duke Lang, the overall situation is the most important thing."

In the courtyard, the sound of carp leaping out of the water suddenly sounded like water, sparkling as if right next to his ears, cicadas chirped and frogs croaked one after another. Throughout the back garden, Ye Xianggao looked at Wang Qi, waiting for his reply.

The words of the chief minister of the cabinet are very clear: The imperial court has been harmonious for the time being, there is no need for further disputes, let's work together to revive the Ming Dynasty! The Donglin eunuchs and the distinction between civil and military forces are all for the sake of the country, aren't they?

I will be the chief minister, and you will be the Duke of the country. Isn’t it great to be the leader of the Ming Dynasty, Hai Qing He Yan?

"Master Chief Assistant, do you want me to be a wealthy and idle person?" Wang Qi picked up the tea and took a sip with a relaxed smile.

"With the respect of the Duke of the country, it's not bad!" Ye Xianggao obviously had a beautiful thought.

"Aren't you afraid that Dong Lin will rebel and Han Xu will seek the position of chief minister again?" Wang Qi's smile became even brighter as he spoke. "The Great Victory of Liaodong is the result of my full support to Duke Lang. In terms of central control and planning, Han Xu has been completely defeated. How can he fight with me?" Ye Xianggao chuckled, obviously expressing his disapproval of his first assistant. Very confident.

"But what if I say I'm not satisfied?" Wang Qi looked at Ye Xianggao and put down the tea cup in his hand.

"What's your dissatisfaction with Duke Lang?" Ye Xianggao put away his smile. He knew that he seemed to have underestimated Wang Qi's ambition or overestimated his bottom line.

"I just want to ask, who is the one who sent me a letter to transfer me back to Beijing while the war in Liaodong is still going on?" Wang Qi looked at the chief minister of the cabinet opposite him with deep eyes, without dodge or flinch at all.

"Lang Guogong, why are you doing this?" To be honest, Ye Xianggao doesn't want to cause trouble at this time. The government is stable, and he, the chief minister of the cabinet, is doing a stable job. If Wang Qi wants to take action on the cabinet, wouldn't it mean that Is it difficult to do it yourself?

"At that time, Liaodong had just stabilized. When I returned to Beijing from Horqin, I had no intention of sending troops to attack Jin." Wang Qi did not directly answer Ye Xianggao's words.

At this time, the Ming Dynasty Duke had already suppressed his smile and stood beside the railing in the pavilion, gazing at the summer color of the pond in the distance:
  "It was the ministers in the cabinet who used the case of my uncle's collusion with the enemy to threaten him, and the debate in front of the imperial court led to the theory of peace in the Liao Dynasty in March. At that time, before I left the country, I heard that Xiong Tingbi was greedy for power and advanced, and Liaodong was almost The whole territory has fallen, and the situation is critical and even the capital is in chaos."

"After I entered the Liao Dynasty, the military and political affairs of Liaodong were integrated and shouldered by one shoulder. Did the ministers in the cabinet at that time ever think about whether Dingyuan Marquis used military generals to monopolize power and rely on troops to take care of himself?"

"Then I entered the enemy's rear alone and fought with Jiannu in the deep mountains and rivers. Did Han Xu think that I was the second to Li Chengliang?"

"When the main force of Houjin was destroyed and Nurhachi died, I heard some people saying that I, Wang Qi, the master of Zhenzhen, should be rewarded in the name of Duke Lang, take away his power, and distance himself from his foundation."

Wang Qi turned around and looked at the stunned Ye Xianggao: "Yes or no?"

"My lord, you," Ye Xianggao had a layer of sweat on his forehead. He felt his mouth was dry and he subconsciously picked up the tea in front of him, hoping to take a sip to relieve his embarrassment.

But as soon as his fingers touched the cup body, he felt a hot touch, which made Ye Shoufu stop and turn back.

"In three days, I will enter the palace to meet the Holy Spirit. At that time, I will see someone impeaching Han Xu. If not, you, Ye Xianggao, will not sit in this position of chief minister!"

Wang Qi stood there, looking even more powerful and powerful under the sunlight.

"This will cause chaos in the court, and the emperor may not be happy," Ye Xianggao tried his best to ignore Wang Qi's threats and wanted to speak again to persuade him.

"What if Sun Chengzong succeeds Han Xu and serves as the second minister of the cabinet?" Wang Qi asked in return.

As soon as Wang Qi finished speaking, Ye Xianggao's eyes flashed as he was sitting there.

This Sun Chengzong is a proper imperialist!
  The emperor has no reason not to accept this exchange! !

Looking at Wang Qi's tall figure with his back to the sun, Ye Xianggao had only four words in his mind: Han Yuchen is in danger!
