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

Chapter 28 I’m too hasty

In Beijing City, Ye Xianggaofu Yamen.

Ye Xianggao just came back from the palace and met his son Ye Chengxue.

"Wang Qi is going to be named a fourth-grade guard and command the affairs?" Ye Chengxue, the eldest son of Ye Xianggao and the director of the Imperial College, heard the news from his father and suddenly stood up from his chair with a look of surprise on his face.

bang.

Ye Xianggao knocked the tea cup in his hand heavily on the table and said sternly: "Sit down! What do you look like in such a panic? So what if Wang Qi finally becomes the commander-in-chief of Liaodong? You want to give your daughter to a A military man? An uneducated yamen?"

"This" Ye Chengxue said with an annoyed look on his face: By then, Wang Qi will really become the commander-in-chief of Liaodong, and it won't be certain who will get the upper hand.

Ye Xianggao naturally knew what his son was thinking, but now the chief minister of the cabinet also regretted being too hasty at that time.

A future son-in-law who may become the commander-in-chief of Liaodong!

"Father, is it possible to get married again?" Ye Chengxue was a little reluctant.

"After all, I am the chief minister of the Ming Dynasty's cabinet, but I still lick my face and beg for marriage with Wang Huazhen's nephew?!" Ye Xianggao frowned, and just as he was about to continue scolding his son, he heard the butler's voice coming from outside the door:

"Sir, Master Han and Master Liu are here to pay their respects."

"Take them to the front hall and wait, I will be there soon." Hearing this, Ye Xianggao put down the tea cup in his hand, stood up and was about to leave, but suddenly stopped and said to his son: "Let's refuse the marriage. All those who know the truth in the house should keep their mouths shut, anyone who dares to gossip will be beaten to death with sticks!"

"My child knows that the whole family has issued a death order, and no one dares to speak nonsense," Ye Xuecheng nodded, but there was bitterness on his face.

The family didn't tell anyone about it, but the Chief of Ceremonies was not a light-hearted person. Once the news got out, how would his daughter see anyone in the future?

Ye Xuecheng had already planned in his heart to find a good family in the next few years and marry his daughter off to avoid any trouble in the future.

When Ye Chengxue was bothering his daughter about the famous festival, Ye Xianggao had already met Han Xu and Liu Yijing in the front hall.

The pretty maid of Ye Mansion served exquisite pastries and tea to the three of them. A small charcoal stove was placed on each person's table to warm their hands.

"Mr. Ji Hui (Liu Yijing, also known as Ji Hui), could you please make a trip?" Ye Xianggao had great respect for Liu Yijing, the second assistant of the dynasty, not only because he was the second assistant, but also because he was in the East. Lin's status as a veteran within the Party means that he sits at the center, so Dong Lin has a backbone.

"I have been fighting with Shen for the past few days. Today I closed the door to thank guests at home. Suddenly I heard the news of the great victory in Liaodong, so I rushed to see you. I happened to meet Han Yuchen (Han Xu, also known as Yuchen) at the door of the house!"

Liu Yijing's face is old, but her eyes are deep and sharp, which can give a glimpse of the tenacity of the ministers who assisted the government in the three dynasties.

"I have just relayed the contents of Wang Huazhen and Xiong Tingbi's memorial to Mr. Ji Hui," Han Xu sat opposite Liu Yijing. His beard that reached his chest was black and shiny, like a handsome bearded man on the stage.

"What do you think, Mr. Ji Hui?" Ye Xianggao leaned slightly and looked at Liu Yijing.

"Wang Huazhen can return to Beijing! But Donglin's power in Liaodong must not be lost!" Liu Yijing looked at his two colleagues and said firmly: "Who has achieved the gradually stable situation in Liaodong? This must be done by the court and the emperor. , let everyone in the world know that it is our Donglin Party!"

"We both have the same idea. We must keep Donglin's power in Liaodong before we can continue to expand in the court and take power!" Han Xu nodded, agreeing with this idea.

"Well, is there any news from Liaodong Inspector Fang Xun?" Liu Yijing looked at Ye Xianggao.

"The letter I just received almost arrived in the capital together with Xiong Tingbi's memorial," Ye Xianggao said, picked up the letter on the table, stood up and handed it to Liu Yijing.

"I plan to recommend Fang Xun as governor of Liaodong." Ye Xianggao did not sit back in his chair, but walked back and forth in the hall: "What do you think?"

While Liu Yijing was still reading the letter, Han Xu asked, "Is it too weak to rely on just Fang Xun?" Liaodong has Xiong Tingbi, a leader of the Chu Party, as its manager. He has been on several missions to Liaodong. He has been operating in Liaodong for many years and has a deep foundation.

In addition, the ceremonial supervisor cultivated many Jinyi guards and Dongchang fans in Liaodong, and they acted secretly, making it difficult to guard against them.

Secondly, the local powerful families in Liaodong are entrenched. Families such as the Li family and the Zu family have raised private soldiers and have in-laws everywhere.

The Donglin Party relies heavily on one inspector. Even if he is promoted to governor, it is not enough!

"That's why I want to win over Wang Qi!" Ye Xianggao slapped his fist: "Let him be used by me!"

"Today at the court, the cabinet has been confirmed. Wang Qi has been promoted to the commanding officer of the Liaodong capital. All the casual officials and ranks are equipped with the highest standards. He controls the guards in Guangning and the area around Jinzhou. He can directly report to the cabinet and His Majesty the emperor. The authority It’s huge!”

Liu Yijing had already read Fang Xun's letter. She raised her head and asked, "Will Wang Qi accept our love?"

The meaning of the Ming Dynasty's second assistant is very clear: Does Wang Qi recognize the reward from the imperial court or the reward from your Donglin Party?

"The role of Wang Yuanqi (Wang Huazhen, courtesy name Yuanqi) has emerged," Han Xu replied: "Yuanqi is his uncle and the only parent of Wang Qi, so it should not be difficult to make him available to me."

"Now the three parties must be wooing Wang Qi. It's so delicious!" Liu Yijing stroked his beard with a solemn expression.

Since the Donglin Party has taken action, the Chu Party and the Chief of Ceremonies must have the same idea.

"By the way," Han Xu thought about it, looked at Ye Xianggao and said, "Mr. Taishan, is it still possible for your granddaughter to marry Wang Qi?"

Han Xu felt a little abrupt, but the matter was so important that he still felt like asking.

After all, no one else knew about it until Wei Zhongxian broke it out today.

"Is there such a thing?" Liu Yijing was also stunned and looked at Ye Xianggao.

"Alas! I was really careless back then," Ye Xianggao sighed, feeling quite helpless: "But who knew that in just one month, the then dandy yamen could achieve such a miraculous feat?"

"Why not give it a try?" Han Xu said again: "Wang Qi has a shallow foundation, and he needs a strong backing in the court! Otherwise, he is like a rootless duck, how can he last long?"

"Hiss" Ye Xianggao's face aside, it's really a joke that he is a precious granddaughter and has to rush to give it to Wang Qi like a normal person!

"Yuan Qi, those who achieve great things don't hesitate to sacrifice themselves, let alone women?" Liu Yijing also tried to persuade him.

"Alas!!" Ye Xianggao sighed helplessly: "When Wang Huazhen arrives in Beijing, I will try my best to facilitate the marriage with my old face!"

"If we can get married, great things can happen! Wang Qi will definitely be used by me, Donglin!" Seeing Ye Xianggao finally agree, both Han Xu and Liu Yijing were overjoyed.

At this moment, the eldest son Ye Xuecheng suddenly hurried from outside to the door of the hall: "Father, there is news from the palace just now."

"Why are you so panicked?" Ye Xianggao frowned, a little disappointed with the eldest son's performance today.

"Father, there is news in the palace that the emperor has issued a decree to marry Princess Ningde to Wang Qi of Liaodong!"

"What?" Han Xu and Liu Yijing stood up suddenly, with expressions of disbelief on their faces.

On the other hand, Ye Xianggao's eyes darkened and he fell straight backwards.
