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

Chapter 29 The east wind is rising
  In less than a day, the news of the great victory in Liaodong had spread throughout Beijing, followed the east wind, spread throughout North Zhili, and continued to spread southward.
  Wang Qi, a name that was originally unfamiliar, is now praised by everyone, as if this person is the savior that the Ming Dynasty has been waiting for, and is the biggest nemesis of Jianzhou Nurhaci.

After all, before Wang Qi came out, no one in the entire Ming Dynasty was the enemy of Jianzhou Laonu. Yang Hao originally led an army of 400,000 into Liao. What was the result? The entire army was wiped out, but it made Nurhaci famous for being invincible. The entire army's weapons, grain, horses, and population were all sent to the Jurchens, allowing the scale of its military system to achieve rapid development.

What happens next? Yuan Yingtai, Wang Huazhen, and Xiong Tingbi, whether they were governors or in charge of Liaodong, all lost territory one after another. The war situation did not improve in any way. Instead, the Ming Dynasty retreated step by step, daring not to counterattack.

What about the ending? Kaiyuan and Tieling are gone, Shenyang and Liaoyang are lost, Jianzhou is approaching Guangning to the west of the Liaohe River. Without Guangning, there will be a crisis in Songjin, a crisis in Shanhaiguan, a recurrence of the tragedy of Tumu Fortress, and a crisis in the capital!
  "Thank you for having Wang Qi!" In a restaurant in the capital, everyone was having a drink and chatting. They all praised the current Liaodong generals and Ming Dynasty martial artists.

"There is news that the emperor will personally write a royal letter and award him a golden plaque of "Da Ming Martial Arts"," a seemingly well-informed man with a shiny face said while eating wine: "My nephew is on duty in the palace. A few days ago, I saw with my own eyes several pavilion elders who braved the heavy snow to go to the Wenhua Palace to congratulate the emperor on the great victory in Liaodong!"

"If there was no Wang Qi in the world, I really don't know where our Ming Dynasty and Liaodong would be placed!" The man at the table thought he was wearing a gray cloth gown and sighed in admiration.

"There's one more thing. Now the whole capital is buzzing with news!" The third man was short and fat, and obviously richer. When he spoke, his two little eyes moved around, as if he was about to say something big.

"You mean, that thing?" The man in the long gown seemed to have thought about it.

"Yes, yes!" The short, fat man stretched out two fingers and tapped the table: "That's it!"

"Ah?" The man with a shiny face looked at his two companions with confusion on his face: "What kind of riddle are you playing?"

"You don't know? You don't know about such a big thing? Why are you in Beijing!"

The short and fat man looked regretful, as if he had lost some value for being with him. He looked around and then whispered: "More than a month ago, Wang Huazhen proposed marriage to the granddaughter of the chief minister of the dynasty on behalf of his nephew, but Ye Xianggao rejected it directly. , and also said that the dandy yamen, how can he match my scholarly and famous family? Now Wang Qi has become a blockbuster and has risen in Liaodong at an alarming speed. Ye Mansion has been mourning these days. Ye Xianggao has fallen ill. I heard that several people in Beijing have Countless famous doctors have been invited to Ye Mansion to treat patients, and even the imperial doctor from the palace has made an appearance."

"Ah? There is such a thing!" The oil-faced man looked surprised.

"And, and more!" The man in the long gown added anxiously: "Do you know what news has come out of the palace recently?"

"What?" the oily man asked.

"The emperor wants to win over Wang Qi, so he wants to marry this new Liaodong commander directly!" The man in the long gown chuckled, paused, and did not continue.

"Who will the emperor give to Wang Qi? The granddaughter of the chief minister?" The oil-faced man's eyes widened. This is breaking news.

On the surface, they wanted to tie Wang Qi and Ye Xianggao in a boat, but in fact, they wanted to kill people!
  High, it is high!

"What, what nonsense, the granddaughter of the first assistant! Is she worthy of commanding people in Liaodong?" The short, fat man tapped the table with his hands and interrupted:

"She is the emperor's half-sister, a true royal noble—Princess Ningde!"

Forbidden City, Jianji Hall.

"Xuan! Wang Huazhen, who is the governor of Liaodong, is in charge of military affairs in the east, is in charge of food and wages, is the right minister of the Ministry of War, and is the censor of the capital procuratorate. Wang Huazhen enters the palace!" As the roll came, Wang Huazhen, dressed in a crimson robe and wearing a court crown, walked slowly. Enter the main hall.

All the civil and military officials in the palace watched with their eyes.

Some looked on with cold eyes, some were gloating, and some were helpless and indignant.

Wang Huazhen arrived at Dianmao in Beijing yesterday, and today she went to the palace to be a saint.

In fact, after arriving in Beijing yesterday, Wang Huazhen planned to visit Ye Xianggao at his residence to discuss strategies for the interview.

But this time is too subtle, and if you don't pay attention, you will attract criticism.

After all, the Inspectorate and the various departments are not just freeloaders. When the feudal officials return to Beijing, they first go to visit the chief minister of the dynasty. In the eyes of caring people, this is a matter of picketing that deserves a special mention!
  "Your Majesty, Wang Huazhen, pays homage to our emperor. Long live your Majesty, long live your Majesty!" Wang Huazhen kowtowed three times and bowed nine times to Emperor Tianqi on the throne, performing the courtesy of a human minister.

"My beloved, please get up." Emperor Tianqi has been waiting for news of Wang Huazhen's return to Beijing these days. This person can be regarded as an important chess piece in Zhu Youxiao's layout in Liaodong.

"Liaodong was turbulent for decades, but it gradually became stable soon after Aiqing took office. This is a great achievement." Emperor Tianqi did not mention the great victory in Liaodong when he opened his mouth, but affirmed Wang Huazhen's work in Liaodong.

"This is all the result of His Majesty's command and planning. I have done extra hard work and done some trivial things. I don't dare to take credit." Wang Huazhen lowered his head and stood in the center of the hall, his tone was extremely humble and respectful.

"Aiqing said you dare not take credit, but what about this great victory in Liaodong?" Emperor Tianqi asked with a smile: "Isn't this also your credit?"

"The guilty minister dare not." After hearing Emperor Tianqi's words, Wang Huazhen knelt down again with a plop.

On both sides of the main hall, Hou Zhenyang, the official who had been waiting for a long time, immediately stood up and said: "Your Majesty, Hou Zhenyang, is impeaching Wang Huazhen, the governor of Liaodong, for his inappropriate appointment of personnel, which led to the discord between the governor and the governor, and the sudden military disaster. I think that he should be imprisoned first and questioned! Then he will do it. Discussion!”

At that time, Wang Huazhen was the governor of Liaodong for the first time. Hou Zhenyang wrote a letter saying that he would definitely fall out with Xiong Tingbi, which would lead to a war in Liaodong. However, Zhang Heming, the Minister of War at that time, supported Wang Huazhen, and because Donglin was so powerful, Ye Xianggao and others also supported Wang Huazhen, and the matter was After suppressing the situation, Hou Zhenyang was ordered to sit back and reflect on his mistakes at that time, and was fined three months' salary.

Hou Zhenyang will not let it go easily if he seizes the opportunity this time.

As soon as Hou Zhenyang came forward, officials from the Chu Party, Zhejiang Party and other factions also petitioned Wang Huazhen to step down first and pay for the improper employment and political discord!

Don't look at the Donglin Party's power in the court now. Once there is a slight flaw, a pack of wolves will be around, all trying to get a piece of flesh from it!
  After all, the governor of Liaodong was such a big piece of fat, and everyone wanted to get some of it.

"Han Aiqing, what do you think about this matter?" Zhu Youxiao ignored the censors and impeachment in the matter, but turned to look at Han Xu, the elder of Donglin and an important minister in the cabinet.

Liu Yijing closed the door and thought about his mistakes, Ye Xianggao fainted in bed, and now the Donglin Party only followed Han Xu's lead.
