Chapter 249 Two Letters of Pardon
  The war in Liaodong has just concluded. Although the remaining ferocity in the white mountains and black waters is no longer a concern, people's hearts are uneasy. The decades of chaos in Liaodong, whether it is Jianzhou Jurchen, Gaohuai, Li Chengliang and other notorious figures, or the court's The tax supervisors, mine supervisors, and the imperial court are all reminding those in power that when everything is in ruins, the most appropriate policy is to improve people's livelihood.

Wang Qi also didn't want his men to cause any trouble in the name of political achievements at this time.

Stability is the top priority right now.

By the time everyone in the hall finished reporting their recent important matters to Wang Qi, two hours had passed. At this time, the sky outside the hall gradually became gloomy again, and it looked like another blizzard was coming.

"Liaodong has experienced enough ravages of war and separation of flesh and blood in recent years. Regarding your ideas and wild suggestions, I will not deny them here, but I will draw a bottom line," Wang Qi spoke first after listening to everyone's reports. Sure, he smiled and chatted for a while, led everyone to drink a cup of tea, then glanced at He Kegang, and then spoke again: "He Kegang, take note."

Hearing Wang Qi call him, He Kegang nodded.

"Those who cause misery to the people, seize land, acres and homes, plunder people's property, rob women, children, and slaves, all kinds of evildoers, once discovered, will be reported to the Liaodong Military Discipline Inspection Office, and once verified, they will all be executed!" Wang Qi's expression had returned to seriousness, and he looked at everyone indifferently: "Over the years, the imperial court has spent countless amounts of money in Liaodong, countless colleagues have died here, and the people who have been displaced and died are in hell, so if you, If you want to seize chestnuts from the fire, try it with yourself. My sword is very powerful! You can give it a try."

With Wang Qi's prestige in Liaodong now, as soon as these words come out, whoever dares to commit a crime will be stripped of their animal robes the next day and sent to Caishikou to wait for Wang Qi's beheading order.

Therefore, after Wang Qi finished speaking, all the generals present bowed their heads to accept the order, and no one dared to say anything.

Seeing that everyone was speechless, Wang Qi nodded. Wang Shouxin, who had been standing aside, walked out and took out a bright yellow letter of pardon.

It was one of the three empty seals that Emperor Tianqi personally handed to Wang Qi when he left Beijing for Liao Dynasty.

At that time, Zhu Youxiao took Wang Qi and sat on the steps of the Palace of Qianqing. He almost confided in his heart: "My beloved, if the war is to be calmed down, it is necessary to appease people's hearts. When Xiaoxiao is frightened, he can take out the seal documents and write down the merits of the generals. You can increase your rank or rank according to your wishes, and I and the imperial court will endorse you, so as to honor the merits of the generals and show the imperial court's magnanimity."

In fact, when he received the three blank amnesty letters, Wang Qi already knew what was written on them.

Liaodong is settled, and the rear is safe. In this way, Wang Qi can go back to Beijing with peace of mind, start to clean up the court, and then plan for big things.

So, who is left to guard Liaodong?

Wang Qi's eyes turned to Qin Erbao and He Kegang, then he leaned back on the chair and closed his eyes to rest.

In the palace, all the generals had already stood up and bowed to listen to Wang Shouxin reading the letter of pardon.

"In the battle of Liaodong, you all sacrificed your lives. I am very pleased. Now there are great victories on all roads, and the city is broken and the thieves are captured. Now that Liaodong is peaceful, the whole world is congratulated."

The first few sentences are considered to be the champagne opened by Emperor Tianqi in advance. He wants to wait for Wang Qi to win the gold attack and read them out to show his foresight.

However, now in the palace, everyone has no intention to listen to the high-sounding words in front of them and the rewards behind them, which is the big deal.

Liaodong Inspector Yuan Chonghuan was standing at the head of the team. He secretly looked up and saw Qin Erbao standing at the head of the team opposite.

Mr. Qin, who is already the commander-in-chief of Liaodong Army, has a figure like a leopard and a tiger's eyes - he seems to be confident.

"Yes," Yuan Chonghuan murmured in his heart: "With the big tree of Duke Lang on his back, even if he is a middle-aged man, with his military exploits in Liaodong, it is enough to become a prince and prime minister, not to mention."

Yuan Chonghuan smacked his lips: "Among the young generals of the Ming Dynasty, this Qin Erbao is definitely one of the most capable generals."

Sure enough, Yuan Chonghuan had just been thinking about Qin Erbao when he heard Wang Shouxin say: "Qin Erbao, the commander-in-chief of Liaodong, is granted the title of second-rank commander of the capital. He is also granted the title of general of Zhenliao and general of Fengguo. He is specially granted the title of opening the government of Shenyang City and concurrently serving as commander of the capital." Qian Shi, the Commander-in-Chief of the Fifth Army, is in charge of all military affairs in Liaodong!"

Open Shenyang City?

In charge of Liaodong military affairs? Yuan Chonghuan's heart skipped a beat when he heard this.

Is Wang Qi preparing to let Qin Erbao guard Liaodong?

With the military exploits and power of the Liaodong Commander-in-Chief, who can control him without Wang Qi?

At this moment, not only Yuan Chonghuan, but everyone in the entire palace was extremely envious.

Qin Erbao, who was still a slave under Wang Qi half a year ago, is now able to guard Liaodong!
  To put it more simply, he was a close confidant arranged by Wang Qi to guard the rear for him in Liaodong.

To put it more seriously, he was General Fengguo who guarded the north for the imperial court.

tsk tsk.
  Following Wang Qi, he will be granted the title of Marquis and Prime Minister in the future, which is something he can hold on to.

"The last general has accepted the order and will die with his own life to guard Liaodong for the imperial court and for your lord!" Qin Erbao stepped forward without any refusal or humility, and bowed to accept the pardon.

The bright yellow pardon letter is almost weightless in the hand, feels soft and has a very good texture.

"Do things with heart," Wang Qi nodded.

"You will finally understand."

Regarding the use of Qin Erbao, Wang Qi thought for a long time whether to let him guard Liaodong or to follow him back to Beijing to plan the layout.

On the one hand, Liaodong is Wang Qi's basic base. Leaving Qin Erbao to guard Liaodong will be beneficial to his political reputation, influence on the court, and his own power development. At the same time, he can advance or retreat in the next few decades.

On the other hand, if you bring Qin Erbao back to the capital, it will be more beneficial to him in terms of official rank and title, and it will be easier for him to become a marquis and become a prime minister in the future.

These days, Wang Qi once summoned Qin Erbao for questioning. Regarding this matter, this confidant general had only one answer: stay in Liaodong and frighten Xiao Xiao for the adults!

Wang Qi picked up the teacup and took a sip.

With this in mind, remember to give Er Bao the title of Marquis of Zhen Liao as compensation in the future.

Not long after, Wang Shouxin had already taken out the second letter of pardon.

"He Kegang devoted himself to his work and tried his best to plan for the affairs of Liaodong. He has achieved this result in the attack on gold. He has made great contributions. He was granted the title of Liaodong Army Preparatory Road. He was appointed deputy inspector and censor of Qiandu. He was also the commander-in-chief of the civil servants of Liaodong and responded to government affairs. Why is Ke Gang the chief commander?"

"How can I express my gratitude to you?"

He Kegang exhaled lightly.

After decades of hard work and planning and doing things in Liaodong, the hard work has finally come to an end!

This position is equivalent to a senior official at the governor level of a major province within the Pass.

Furthermore, Liaodong has a special geographical location and an even more sensitive political status. By being appointed as Liaodong's military commander and deputy inspector, he has already stepped into the highest group of civil servants in the Ming Dynasty.
