Ming Dynasty fake eunuch

Chapter 106 Meeting
Because Li Yongfang had two front teeth kicked out by Mang Gurtai, she later got a new name in Jurchen, Li Huoya.

I have to admit that Li Huoya's strategy is quite insidious, because Ye Xun's level needs to be improved in both military and local government affairs, so if Xiong Tingbi is run away at this time, it will undoubtedly make things worse for Ye Xun.

When Ye Xun arrived near Shenyang, Xiong Tingbi led a group of civil and military officials from the Liaodong Economic Strategy Department to welcome him out.

Today's Ye Xun is no longer the guard of a small town when he first left Tieling. According to Wanli's will, Ye Xun has the right to supervise the military and administration of the entire Liaodong. Clearly, if he can't understand this primary and secondary relationship, he will not be far away from returning home.

Fortunately, this Eunuch Ye is not only approachable and unassuming, but also a man of real ability, so for now, the civil and military officials in Liaodong are still very happy to work with him.

Knowing that Xiong Tingbi came to welcome him in person, Ye Xun got out of the carriage early. His external injuries have healed long ago, but his internal injuries cannot be recovered in a day or two, but they have not affected his actions. He looks like a normal person except for his pale face. No difference.

Among other things, Ye Xun's low profile immediately made him feel more favorable in Liaodong Wenwu's heart.

Having already learned about Ye Xun's assassination, and seeing Ye Xun getting under the car to greet him, Xiong Tingbi quickly rode his horse and walked a few steps, then jumped off the horse and rushed to Ye Xun, and said with concern: "Eunuch Ye is still injured, why did you get out of the car? Let's go to the car, let's talk while walking"

"Hehe! It's okay, a little injury is nothing to worry about"

While Ye Xun was speaking, he bowed his hands to the civil and military officials following Xiong Tingbi.

"Eunuch Ye, you are too polite, your health is still important, please get in the car!".
Amidst the compliments, Ye Xun invited Xiong Tingbi to board his luxurious carriage.

After getting into the carriage, Xiong Tingbi couldn't help laughing when he saw the luxurious layout inside, "I never thought that Eunuch Ye is such a person who can enjoy himself, haha."

"Hehe! Someone gave it to me. I'm a thin-skinned person, so I'm sorry not to accept it"

Ye Xun smiled and asked Xiong Tingbi to sit down, then poured him a cup of tea with his own hands, and the carriage started at the same time.

"My father-in-law is His Majesty's close attendant. What can Your Majesty say when you return to Beijing this time?"

It's time to get down to business, and the emperor's attitude is undoubtedly the most concerned matter of officials at all levels in Liaodong.

"Lord Xiong must have thought of it too. Your Majesty hastily recruited me to Beijing this time because he didn't want to listen to the things on the memorial, but wanted to know the current real state of Liaodong."

Under Xiong Tingbi's waiting gaze, Ye Xun continued: "I have already suggested to His Majesty that the climate for building slaves has become established at this time, and there is no way to win in a hurry, so what we have to do now is to defend the existing positions and cities. On the one hand, hurry up to train the soldiers and support the people, and at the same time cut off the Jurchen’s supplies in all aspects, and when the time comes, I will strike a thunderous blow against the establishment of slavery.”

These words of Ye Xun can be said to be exactly in line with Xiong Tingbi's thinking. He is very happy, really happy, glad that His Majesty the Emperor can send him such an assistant.

Excitedly said: "What did Your Majesty say?"

Ye Xun looked deeply at Xiong Tingbi, and said, "Your Majesty has already agreed to my suggestion, but there is one more thing that I want to pass on to Mr. Xiong."

Xiong Tingbi already felt the deep meaning in Ye Xun's eyes, but he didn't understand what it was.

At that moment, he cupped his hands in the direction of the capital, and said awe-inspiringly: "Elder-in-law, please tell me, the next official will listen carefully."

"Master Xiong has offended many people, right?"

Hearing Ye Xun's words, Xiong Tingbi was taken aback for a moment, and blurted out: "Is there anyone who can't offend others when he is an official? Besides, my official conduct is upright, and I am worthy of the court and the people. Why are you afraid of those villains talking behind your back?" Four?"

Ye Xun sighed, and said: "Master Xiong, I know you are a good official, and it is very appropriate that Liaodong should be governed by you, but your hot temper really needs to be changed."

Hearing what Ye Xun said, Xiong Tingbi frowned, and said displeasedly: "Does my father-in-law want me to imitate those flattering people? Forgive me, my father-in-law can't do it"

Ye Xun sighed in his heart, got it!I'm saying it for nothing, no wonder this guy is not popular, he can't hear good or bad, and it's really difficult to work with him.

Is it so easy to change a person's temper?Although Ye Xun was kind, he still didn't know enough about Xiong Tingbi. If this guy was a flexible person, he wouldn't resign because of other people's impeachment.

The atmosphere in the carriage became a little awkward. Xiong Tingbi had many advantages, he was straightforward, his temper came and went quickly.

The conversation changed, and he said with a smile: "To be honest, I really admire your father-in-law's guerrilla tactics! This old slave is too ambitious, but there are too few Jurchens, and now he is being harassed by our small group of people." Already exhausted, the father-in-law is really clever, haha."

Ye Xun also laughed, since Xiong Tingbi didn't listen to persuasion, there was nothing he could do about it, and there was no reason to blush with him now.

"Actually, this method of warfare was not created by me. As the lord said, the Jurchens have only so few people, but they want to invade so many places. As long as we strictly guard against them and keep bleeding them, they will be dragged to death sooner or later. "

"Oh, by the way, there is one more thing I want to report to Mr. Xiong, that is, I plan to go back to Tieling, so that you and I will become horns of each other, so that the old servant will not dare to act rashly."

Ye Xun didn't want to work with Xiong Tingbi, why would Xiong Tingbi want to stay in the same city with him?It's not about good or bad relationships, it's about worrying about each other's influence on authority.

Xiong Tingbi pretended to ponder for a while, and then said: "That's fine, if there is any need in Tieling, just ask me, I will definitely be the first to support father-in-law."

"Then thank you, Mr. Xiong, and on the way back, I was thinking that before the court said that someone who kills the enemy will win the first prize. Mr. Xiong, let's see if we can slightly modify this military law in Liaodong." ?”

In the past, in order to encourage the killing of the enemy, the imperial court counted meritorious deeds according to the head after beheading the enemy by the border guards. This move did achieve some results, but it also led to the phenomenon of many killing good men and pretending to be meritorious.

It's not that Xiong Tingbi doesn't know the pros and cons of this, but he hasn't thought about changing it.

Immediately wondered: "How does Eunuch Ye plan to modify it?"

"In the name of the Liaodong Economic and Strategy Department issued an order to kill Hu, but this order is only for Jurchens in Jianzhou. The head will be paid according to the level, starting from one tael of silver, and there is no upper limit. Those who can kill old slaves, Reward 10 taels of silver"

Hearing Ye Xun's words, Xiong Tingbi was taken aback immediately. He knew that there were actually a lot of first prizes awarded by the court, but there was not much left in the hands of the soldiers.

Throughout Ye Xun's debut, his opponents and soldiers have been extremely generous, so his promise will definitely be fulfilled, so where did he get so much money?
Xiong Tingbi quickly figured out this question by himself. This little eunuch must have gained a lot from the Li family! .
