Ming Dynasty fake eunuch

Chapter 164 Means
There are two memorials in front of Wanli, one is from Ye Xun's expedited eight hundred miles, and the other is from Yuan Yingtai, the Liaodong economic strategist.

It was very quiet in the imperial study room, Wanli's eyes were looking forward without focus, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Fang Congzhe stood under Wanli's head with his hands down, also silent. He had read both memorials, but he couldn't figure out Wanli's mind now, so he didn't dare to speak nonsense.

After a while, Wanli suddenly said: "There is a secret report from the censor that Xiao Yezi is arrogant and domineering in Liaodong. Anyone who disobeys him will be punished regardless of his official position, ranging from being demoted to losing his life. What do you think about this?"

Fang Congzhe said, that kid is not just arrogant and domineering in Liaodong?To say he was bold would be an understatement.

It must be said that Fang Congzhe is a relatively upright person, at least he will not stare and talk nonsense, and he can also think about the overall situation.

After pondering for a while, he said: "Your Majesty, the old minister has also heard many rumors about him, but no matter what, since he was in Liaodong, Jiannu has been defeated repeatedly, especially the battle of Kuandian Six Forts, which is really like a stroke of magic. , the veteran believes that as long as we can stick to this place, we will completely reverse the unfavorable situation of our army in Liaodong, and it is not impossible to completely wipe out Jiannu in the future."

"Ye Xun is bold, domineering, and defiant. These problems are all there, but no matter when it comes, he is His Majesty's domestic servant. His Majesty only needs an imperial decree, and he has to obediently return to court."

"Of course, these are the humble opinions of the old ministers. His Majesty is no more wise than His Majesty. Presumably His Majesty has made a decision in his heart."

Fang Congzhe's words pointed out Ye Xun's faults, and at the same time affirmed Ye Xun's achievements. The most important thing is to tell Wanli that no matter how arrogant Ye Xun is, he is still a slave of your royal family and cannot be overthrown.

These words can be said to speak to Wanli's heart. Starting from Li Chengliang, Liaodong has changed countless strategic guards, but the situation is getting worse day by day. Now, although this little leaf is bold and mischievous, he is still an eunuch and wants to stand on his own. The top of the mountain is simply impossible. In this case, what else do I have to worry about?After Liaodong was pacified, an imperial edict recruited him to Beijing, what else could he cause?
Thinking of this, Wanli approved the word "perfect" on Ye Xun's secret memorial.

Wanli then picked up Yuan Yingtai's memorial again, looked at it with a frown, and then snorted coldly, saying: "You old cunning, you go and tell him, don't rush to get rid of the relationship, just take care of what he should take care of, and I will take care of it." I'm not in the mood to deal with him"

But it turned out that it was Yuan Yingtai who impeached Ye Xun and transferred troops privately, and made him a mere memorial.

Apart from the two items of suing Ye Xun, there is nothing substantive in the memorial.

So dignified, the imperial court has handed over the entire Liaodong to you, yet you are no match for a single eunuch, yet you still have the nerve to file a complaint and not punish him, which is already giving him a lot of face.

Wanli knew very well that the reason why Yuan Yingtai submitted this memorial was because he understood that he was supporting Ye Xun behind his back, so let's put the ugly words first, in case something happened to Ye Xun that day, your emperor, don't say I didn't tell you you.

To be honest, Wanli was really disappointed with these civil servants. He knew how to calculate all day long. If he could devote all his thoughts to how to serve the court, Jiannu would have been wiped out long ago.

After sending Fang Congzhe away, Wanli just wanted to get up, but suddenly felt dizzy, and sat down again hastily.

The little eunuch who was waiting on the side rushed over to support Wanli.

Recently, Wanli often has this kind of situation. I asked the imperial physician, but the imperial physician said that Wanli was too tired and should rest more.

In fact, Wanli was overworked. It should be said that he had too much sex. The government didn't care about it, so what was he doing idle all day?

After sitting quietly for a while, feeling better, she turned her head to look at the little eunuch waiting beside her, and suddenly said, "Mu Zheng, what is your greatest wish?"

Mu Zheng was stunned for a moment, then smiled naively, and said: "What wish can a slave have, serving His Majesty every day is the greatest wish of a slave."

"Cunning, let me ask you what is your biggest wish?"

Seeing that the emperor was really coming, Mu Zheng tilted his head and thought for a while, then said with a smile: "There are silver flowers, and there are delicious food every day, hehe! Your majesty will laugh at me for being a worthless slave."

Wanli liked this little eunuch very much, he didn't have so much scheming, he silently murmured the words Mu Zheng just said in his heart, "There are silver flowers, and there are delicious food every day, little leaf, what is your greatest wish?"

After thinking for a while, Wanli lost interest. As his physical condition became more and more obvious recently, the question of successor had to be brought to the table again.

To be honest, how does Wanli think that his eldest son is not pleasing to the eye, but now that the name of the crown prince has been determined, it is no longer easy to change it without authorization. Besides, those immortals in the court must follow the order of seniority, otherwise he would have given up. King Fu took over.

Thinking of this, a terrible idea suddenly popped up in Wanli's mind, if King Fu had a strong supporter, would it push King Fu to the throne?

As soon as this idea came up, Wanli himself was a little scared. This is his own country. Although he doesn't like the eldest son, he can't let their brothers kill each other!
Once some things sprout in the heart, they will grow uncontrollably.

Wanli's eccentricity is extremely rare among the emperors of all dynasties. So far, the crown prince Zhu Changluo can only hide in the uterus and count ants. To put it bluntly, he doesn't even have a decent dress, let alone any other treatment. up.

Looking at Fu Wang Zhu Changxun again, he really has what he wants, not only has incomparable honor and favor, but also all the love of his parents.

So no matter how you look at Wanli, he looks like a stepfather, and it is also possible that Zhu Changluo was given by Wanli as a gift.

After pondering for a long time, Wanli ordered Mu Zheng to grind it, and then took a pen and wrote an inexplicable letter to his son Zhu Changxun.

After writing and sealing it, he immediately ordered Mu Zheng to send it to Xu Xianchun. Of course, such a private letter cannot go through formal channels.

Looking at the back of Mu Zheng going away, Wanli murmured: "My son, father can only help you so far, and how far you can do it depends on your luck."

Ye Xun didn't know that he had been unknowingly involved in the battle for the crown prince, but Wanli was destined to be wrong this time, let alone Ye Xun didn't know, even if he knew, he would never support King Fu.

The courtiers of the Ming Dynasty valued the order of the elders and the younger ones the most. If Ye Xun got involved rashly, it would be tantamount to making enemies of all the officials of the Ming Dynasty. Ye Xun would not do such a stupid thing.

Ye Xun is very busy, although he has always been busy, but this time is different from the past, he is busy fooling the people of Yehecheng into the Han people's place.

Liaodong is too big. Leaving aside the boundless fields, there are countless treasures waiting to be discovered in the white mountains and black waters.

After several battles, the people in many places in Liaodong were taken captive to places controlled by the Jurchens. Ye Xun had to use some means to fill the gaps in these places.
