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

Chapter 258 I can go to Jiangsu and Zhejiang

"Your Majesty," Wang Qi, who had not spoken for a long time, took a step forward and raised his hand to Zhu Youxiao: "I have something to say."

Zhu Youxiao sat lazily on the dragon chair, supporting his chin with his hand, looking at Wang Qi with interest, the newly enthroned Duke of Qi: "Duke Qi, what do you have to say?"

While talking, Zhu Youxiao seemed to be unwilling to admit defeat. He moved his shoulders, changed his hand to support his chin, and continued: "Did I do something wrong?"

Zhu Youxiao's words are very clear. Since Donglin said bad things about you, Wang Qi, I will send your uncle to Jiangsu and Zhejiang to vent your anger on your behalf - what, it's not enough?

These words are very harsh.

Moreover, when Wang Huazhen goes forward, this already tense situation will only add fuel to the fire!

The deaths of those four court officials are still unclear! Dong Lin and Wang Qi are already fighting to the death. In this case, what does the emperor want to do?
  All the officials in the court seemed to understand.

Since the great victory in Liaodong, Wang Qi's value to Zhu Youxiao has plummeted. As the saying goes, the cunning rabbit dies, the lackeys are cooked, the flying birds are gone, and the good bow is hidden. From this point of view, it seems that a young emperor like Zhu Youxiao never hides anything. You may feel it is unnecessary based on your true inner thoughts.

Just like when Liaodong was corrupt and slave-building was rampant, Zhu Youxiao would rather kill, demote or imprison all the important officials of Donglin in the court, rather than have them block Wang Qi's great cause of collecting gold.

Three thousand years ago, it was like the emperor's family had always done things like this.

Moreover, Wang Qi's reputation and influence in the military have made Zhu Youxiao unable to sleep.

On the day of the great victory in Liaodong, all the three armies kowtowed. When the words "Long Live the King of Liao" reached Zhu Youxiao, it was extremely harsh.

The most important thing is that Horqin, North Korea, and Jianzhou tribes all sent envoys to pay homage to Wang Qi.

What does this mean?
  Among the countries surrounding the Ming Dynasty, Wang Qi's name has far surpassed that of the emperor.

This forced Zhu Youxiao's thoughts to change. Zhu Youxiao asked himself that if it were any emperor, Wang Qi would not survive the second day after entering Beijing. He was already kind enough and cherished talents enough.

Of course, Zhu Youxiao did not deny that the tens of thousands of elites left behind by Wang Qi in Liaodong were probably a small reason why he did not take action rashly.

Looking at Wang Qi standing in the hall again, Zhu Youxiao's eyes were full of fear: "Duke Qi, I think there is no need to discuss this matter."

Using the popular reputation of Donglin's party to provoke conflicts between Wang Qi and civilian scholars, and then suppressing them himself, this is the way to balance the emperor.

Therefore, in Zhu Youxiao's plan, it was necessary for Wang Huazhen to go to Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

"Your Majesty," Wang Qi's eyes narrowed slightly and he said loudly: "If it is just to clarify the facts, I am willing to go to Jiangsu and Zhejiang to settle this matter."

The Duke of Qi went to Jiangsu and Zhejiang in person?
  As soon as these words came out, everyone in the hall was shocked.

Over the years, Wang Qi has been going back and forth between the capital and Liaodong. On the one hand, it is because the war in Liaodong is uncertain and Wang Qi needs to go to Liao to suppress it and stabilize the people of the world. On the other hand, it is also because Wang Qi's base is in the north, Liaodong. , Gyeonggi, Shandong, Shanxi, and even Horqin are all close to Wang Qi. But Jiangsu and Zhejiang are purely the territory of the Donglin Party. Even if you, Wang Qi, are famous all over the world, in the eyes of those literati and great scholars, you are nothing .

Wang Huazhen stood aside and signaled her nephew anxiously with her eyes: Don't show off at this time! If you, a military minister and a prince, arrive in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and are surrounded by that group of scholars at the yamen, on the main road, or at the city gate, it will not be Donglin of Jiangsu and Zhejiang who is embarrassed. The one who will be slapped in the face will definitely be you, Tangtang. Duke of Qi! You can’t send troops to capture people, right?

That's exactly what you want.

Those people will not listen to your explanations. Literati are accustomed to killing people with swords and pens. Wang Huazhen, as a native of Donglin, knows the methods of those people best.

Stand on the commanding heights first and make your reputation bad. No matter what, you are coming from the bottom.

At this moment, Sun Chengzong, who was standing not far behind Wang Qi, also had a sad look on his face: How could the Duke of Qi, who was so serious about the city, be led by the emperor?
  At this time, just keep silent. It is impossible for the emperor to ask you to go to Jiangsu and Zhejiang to face embarrassment.

Sure enough, Sun Chengzong didn't stop thinking when he heard the joyful voice of Zhu Youxiao from the throne:
  "It's a deal, I won't leave Beijing until the sun sets!"

When everyone was shocked, Zhu Youxiao, who was sitting on the dragon chair, had already stood up suddenly: "Order the Jinyi Guards to protect you all the way to ensure the safety of Duke Qi. No delay!"

The emperor is so impatient, everyone in the palace can see what the Apocalypse Emperor is thinking.

Is such a moody and angry person really suitable to be an emperor?

"I accept the decree!" Wang Qi didn't notice any emotion. He bowed and accepted the decree.

Not long after, Emperor Tianqi was satisfied and the court meeting dispersed.

Three days ago, when the palace decree was issued: Wang Qi took the title of Duke of Qi, was awarded the title of Zhuguo, and was also the Commander-in-Chief of the Fifth Army. He was the head of the Military Department, walked the cabinet, served as Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of War, and took charge of the commander-in-chief of the three armies of the Beijing Camp. The commander of Jinyiwei ordered him to be given another three thousand acres of land in Zhucheng County, Shandong Province, and to grant his parents the title of county magistrate.

Everyone thought that the good show between the emperor and his ministers would be officially staged in the next few decades, but now it seems that this is an old drama between Han Gaozu and Han Wangxin.

"Brother Qi, have you really thought about it?" Wang Huazhen sat opposite Wang Qi. It was just like the scene in Guangning City at that time when Wang Qi persuaded Wang Huazhen to fight to the death. However, the identity jump now made the two people interchange. .

"It doesn't matter. I just took this opportunity to see what the man in the palace is thinking. What does he want to achieve?" Wang Qi sneered without any hesitation: "Actually, even if I don't go this time, Uncle, you went to Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and things got out of hand in the end, so you still want me to go."

"I just can't figure it out. If you are so afraid, why would you be given the commissions of the General Soldier of the Beijing Camp, the Commander-in-Chief of the Left Command, and the Imperial Guards?" Wang Huazhen shook his head. This veteran minister was still a little disappointed with the emperor's methods.

Moreover, it was too quick to fall out!
  "Uncle, don't worry. As long as there are more than 70,000 soldiers and horses in Liaodong, no one dares to touch a hair on my head. Even Tianqi can't bear the consequences. At least," Wang Qi chuckled and said sternly: "In three years I won’t do anything openly.”

"Then have you figured out what to do after going to Jiangsu and Zhejiang?" Wang Huazhen asked herself, as a former backbone of Donglin, she still has some experience in the methods of Donglin's characters.

"I haven't seen Zuo Guangdou for a long time. I miss you so much." Wang Qi picked up the tea cup and took a sip: "I think Zuo Guangdou also wants to see me."

"Don't use force." Wang Huazhen said in a low voice: "Otherwise, you will be criticized."

"Uncle, you still don't understand me? I've always been kind to others." Wang Qi gently put down the tea cup with a warm smile on his face: "Unless you are shameless!"
