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

Chapter 334 Powerful and terrifying

Donghua Gate, Wenyuan Pavilion.

"Sir, General Qin and others have arrived, led by Commander Li, and will arrive outside Donghua Gate in about a quarter of an hour!"

When the waiter's voice sounded outside the door, Ye Xianggao and others stopped talking and looked at Wang Qi together.

"Did you see the reaction of the people in the capital along the way?" Wang Qi put down the teacup in his hand and looked at the waiter and asked.

"Enter from Fuchengmen, pass through Xuanwumen Lane Street, cross Chang'an Street, then pass through Qingchengfang, and arrive at Donghua Gate. All the people are watching and talking endlessly!" the waiter answered truthfully.

"How do you say it?" Wang Qi asked with interest.

"The common people say that the generals in Liaodong are expected to have the momentum of ten thousand enemies! The soldiers in Liaodong did not harm the people along the way, and also wiped out the bandits in Jizhou Prefecture, which won the reputation of the people. However, In the Jizhou government office, the reputation of the Liaodong Army is indeed somewhat difficult to comment on!" The more people serve in front of high-level powerful people, they are all thoughtful and well-organized, and their questions and answers are quite standard.

What is difficult to comment on?
  Ye Xianggao and Sun Chengzong looked at each other and saw that Qin Erbao's extortion of grain from Jizhou Prefecture had spread throughout the capital.

More than 200 years after the founding of the Ming Dynasty, this was the first time that the army extorted local governments to borrow food to use for palace coups.

What’s even more ridiculous is that the local and state capitals still have to borrow it! In other words, I dare not not borrow it.

"Take them to the side hall and wait, I'll go see them later," Wang Qi said with a relaxed expression as he gently turned the green thumb on his right thumb.

"As ordered." The waiter slowly withdrew.

"Mr. Qi, the Liaodong soldiers have always been strong. It's enough to station them in different places to intimidate the poor. I don't think it's necessary to use them to suppress the rebels in the south, right? After all, this will also damage your reputation, Duke of Qi." Sun Chengzong and Sun Chuanting said the same. Not willing to go head-to-head with colleagues.

When people get old, they always cherish their feathers.

"Mr. Kaiyang, at this point, a coup is not about treating guests to dinner, writing an article, or painting and embroidering. It cannot be so elegant, so leisurely, gentle, so gentle, courteous and thrifty. A river of blood is a necessary means to shock people! Sometimes, without killing The heads are rolling, and some people don't know how to be afraid." Wang Qi borrowed a sentence from a great man in the past, which was equivalent to answering Sun Chengzong's words.

Although Wang Qi's words were a bit difficult to pronounce, Sun Chengzong also understood them.

After a long silence, Sun Chengzong finally said, "Why not borrow the emperor's name?"

"Hahaha" Wang Qi seemed to have heard the funniest joke in the world, and even laughed out of tears: "Mr. Kaiyang, even if the emperor is willing to transfer power now, do you think those so-called great scholars in the Southern Scholars will recognize it? I'm afraid The moment the imperial edict is delivered to them, they will be torn into pieces, and then they will think that it is a false edict or obtained by coercing the emperor."

well! ! !
  Sun Chengzong also gave a wry smile: "As people get older, they always look at things in a more compromise way, not as long-term as the Duke of the State."

"Since the strategy has been decided at the beginning, the Duke of Qi will be fully responsible for the war in the south. Mr. Kaiyang, don't bother yourself so much." Master Ye Xiang is an experienced man. When he saw that the atmosphere was a little delicate, he said at the right time: "I believe that the Duke of Qi can also do it." Take full control of your generals.”

"It's normal for arrogant generals to be a little arrogant. It doesn't matter." Wang Qi nodded: "I will make it clear to them in a while."

----

Wang Qi placed the meeting place with the Liaodong generals in the side hall next to Wenyuan Pavilion.

Li Qingsong took Qin Erbao and others to the side hall and left.

The waiter in green shirt silently served tea to the generals and then withdrew.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the entire hall was a little silent and subtle.

One by one of the first-level general soldiers who can enter this hall, they are all generals who have fought in hundreds of battles on the bloody battlefield in Liaodong.

The number of people who have passed through the hands is not only 10,000, but also 8,000. But at this moment, while waiting for the Duke of Qi, the aura of Zhongyuan Linyueli that had been formed in their minds for a long time, and the mountain-like figure, had already made everyone feel that their palms were sweaty, their backs were soaked, and even their buttocks were sitting on the chairs. They are all sitting still, ready to get up at any time.

I haven't seen the Duke of Qi for a long time, but the way he can change the day with a raise of his hand makes him even more powerful in the hearts of everyone.

Sometimes, distance creates a sense of strangeness and even pressure.

Among all the people, Qin Erbao was the closest to Duke Qi, but at this moment his heartbeat was racing and his mouth was dry.

How long has it been since you felt this way?

Before entering the city, the picture of chatting and laughing with Qi Guogong in his imagination could not be constructed no matter what.

Just kidding, how can I laugh when my calves are shaking?
  Qin Erbao took a deep breath, picked up the tea cup and put it down again. This kind of waiting was really torturous.

"The Duke of Qi has arrived!"

Finally, half an hour later, amid the roll call outside the palace, all the generals rose to their feet.

As the footsteps got closer and closer, all the generals took a small step forward.

When that figure had just stepped across the threshold, the generals suddenly promised: "General, I will pay my respects to the Duke of Qi!"

Amidst the people's obeisances, there was almost no pause. Wang Qi walked directly to the top position after entering the palace.

Then he turned around and sat down.

"Everyone, please sit down," Wang Qi's voice was as gentle as jade, making people feel warm.

"Thank you so much, Mr. Guo!!"

After sitting down, all the generals straightened their upper bodies and looked solemn, as if listening to instructions.

"Thank you for the hard work along the way." Wang Qi looked at everyone, the expression on his face seemed to be appreciation, but also seemed to be observing something. Without waiting for the generals to answer, Wang Qi continued directly: "This time I am sending an order to Liaodong, asking you to go south to Shanhaiguan. , stationed in Gyeonggi, you all know what happened, right?"

Wang Qi glanced at everyone, no one dared to look at him, they all lowered their heads.

"If you return to the country, I know that all the generals are waiting for your orders, whether it's going south to clean up the rebels or going into the mountains and slaying the bandits!" Qin Erbao, who has the highest military status in the palace, answered on behalf of everyone.

"Well," Wang Qi nodded, looking at Qin Erbao, and said, "But I have also heard some rumors recently. Can I share it with you today?"

"The general will be waiting to listen to the Duke's teachings!"

Wang Qi didn't speak, just stared at Qin Erbao quietly and counted his breaths.

Staring so hard that Qin Erbao trembled all over and almost wanted to kneel down.

At the end, the corners of Qi Guogong's mouth twitched slightly, and there was a coldness in his eyes, and then he slowly said: "Some people say that if Wang Qi does not ascend the throne, wouldn't it be in vain that more than ten thousand brothers who died in Liaodong will be wasted? Some people say that if Wang Qi does not ascend the throne, it will be in vain." When he ascends the throne, who should follow the dragon's merits? Some people even say, if Wang Qi does not ascend the throne, why bother to destroy the slaves? Wouldn't it be better to be Li Chengliang's second?"

Wang Qi glanced across the hall and could hear a needle drop.
