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

Chapter 75 The emperor’s plans are unpredictable and difficult to understand

Imperial city, harem, imperial garden.

Zhu Youxiao was in a good mood today and was relaxing with Queen Zhang Yan in the Imperial Garden.

"Why is Your Majesty so happy? Is it because Wang Qi has returned to Beijing?" Empress Zhang could feel her husband's joyful mood today and also knew the news of Wang Qi's return to Beijing.

"Haha," Zhu Youxiao strode forward with his hands behind his back: "Wang Tigan is really reliable in his work. He has brought Wang Qi, whom I miss so much, back to the capital in more than ten days after leaving the country. Tomorrow morning, it will be The first meeting between the king and his ministers."

Thinking like this, Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but feel a little excited and anxious.

Although Renjun has a high position, this power comes from the heavenly instruction of his ancestors, not from his own ability and tactics.

But Wang Qi is different. He relied solely on his own outstanding abilities and planning to get to where he is today step by step.

He killed Sun Degong outside Zhenwu Fort, counterattacked and suppressed Huang Taiji, drove Mang Gurtai out of Siping Fort, making Jiannu dare not go west, fought Jiannu at night in Horqin Grassland, killed Li Yongfang again, and finally carefully planned the counterattack against Huang Taiji.

This is a step-by-step plan and a plan for thousands of miles.

Everyone else was frightened when they saw it. As long as one step was wrong, the whole game would be lost. The best ending would be to be shrouded in horse leather.

But Wang Qi perfectly achieved the results he wanted.

"Then Wang Qi is really a god who came to the world?" Zhu Youxiao smacked his lips, and he was also in a trance. The sentence of martial arts descended from heaven that day was just a joke, but now that he thinks about it, there is something wrong.

"Even if he is a god, he came to share the emperor's worries. It was your majesty who cut him out of the grass, and that is why he achieved his later achievements and honors." Empress Zhang spoke warmly and walked beside Zhu Youxiao: "Your Majesty Having such a minister is a blessing to the Ming Dynasty, and I congratulate Your Majesty!"

"Queen, what you said is really in my heart! Hahaha," Zhu Youxiao was in a good mood after hearing this, and the slight anxiety he felt just now disappeared.

"Your Majesty!" While Zhu Youxiao continued to speak, Wei Zhongxian trotted over from a distance.

"What's the matter?" Zhu Youxiao suppressed a smile and looked like a gentleman, doing a good job.

At this time, Queen Zhang Yan also walked away with the maids in her palace, not wanting to hear about the current political affairs.

"The news we just received," Wei Zhongxian whispered: "Liaodong Commander Wang Qi, after tapping the numbers at Donghua Gate, took three personal followers and went to the streets."

"Well, something happened?" Zhu Youxiao frowned. Wang Qi went to the street to enjoy the entertainment. Is it worthy for the Chief of Ceremonies to come and report? Can you do something serious?
  "Just now, Ye Longpu, the direct grandson of Ye Xianggao," Wei Zhongxian raised his eyes and looked at Zhu Youxiao's expression, and found that the emperor stopped by a rose cluster, admiring the flowers, and then continued: "In the east section of Chang'an Street, and Wang There was a conflict between Qi and he was beaten by Wang Qi’s men, and when an officer from Shuntian Mansion went over, he was also beaten by Wang Qi!”

"Good stun, Ye Jiaye, your emperor's prison often says that Ye Fuyu is flying and lofty?" Zhu Youxue heard that he couldn't do anything, and continued to play with his fingers lightly.

Just beat him up. What's so great about Ye Xianggao's grandson?

But is this matter worthy of the Director of Ceremonies reporting to him?

"The key is," Wei Zhongxian chuckled and said with some hesitation: "Now, Ye Xianggao is visiting Wang Qi's house."

For some unknown reason, Wei Zhongxian did not tell Wang Qi about naming Ye Xianggao on the street and withheld key information. "Huh?" On the other side, Zhu Youxiao finally turned his head and looked at Wei Zhongxian: "Private visit?"

"Replying to Your Majesty," Wei Zhongxian lowered his head: "We are riding in a large Ye Mansion sedan, with Ye Mansion lanterns and Taoist plaques clearly displayed on it! It is considered fair and aboveboard."

"Hiss" Zhu Youxiao frowned and walked slowly: "Wei Zhongxian, what do you think about this matter?"

"Your Majesty," Wei Zhongxian took two steps forward and followed Zhu Youxiao: "Actually, before today's incident, Ye Chengxue, the son of Ye Xianggao, once wrote a letter to the slave in the name of congratulating the slave on his birthday. At that time, the slave I didn’t care, after all, it wasn’t written by Ye Xianggao himself.”

Wei Zhongxian followed suit and continued: "But now it seems that Ye Xianggao has some signs of compromise."

"You mean," Zhu Youxiao paused, stopped at the edge of a wide lake, and said silently, "Ye Xianggao is also looking for a way out for himself?"

"Your Majesty, in fact, the Donglin Party is not monolithic," Wei Zhongxian said carefully: "First of all, in the early days of the party, the ideas of Gao Panlong and Gu Xiancheng were not complete, there were no goals and regulations, and the people they accepted were all Most of them are speculative and profit-making. Even Zuo Guangdou, Han Xu, Yang Lian and others who are now the backbone of the force do not have the same political philosophy. They even have different opinions on the use of troops in Liaodong and the use of personnel in the imperial court."

"Ye Xianggao is regarded as the leader and elder of Donglin by virtue of his position as the chief minister of the cabinet. However, in fact, Han Xu, Zuo Guangdou and others have wanted to replace him for a long time."

"So," Zhu Youxiao looked askance at Wei Zhongxian: "It is possible for Ye Xianggao to visit Wang Qi and want to leave a way out for himself?"

"This is human nature and should be taken for granted!" Wei Zhongxian bowed deeply.

"Ignore him," Zhu Youxiao waved his sleeves: "If Ye Xianggao wants to change his family and escape future liquidation, he must first hand over the certificate of surrender!"

"Where is Wang Qi?" Wei Zhongxian hesitated slightly, and then asked, "Do you want to send someone to keep an eye on it?"

As soon as Wei Zhongxian finished speaking, Zhu Youxiao's face darkened, and there was a hint of warning in his eyes: "Wang Qi is not allowed to send anyone to follow or spy! Let your Dongchang gangsters and Jinyiwei, Get out of here, do you understand?"

"Slave, I understand, I understand!" Wei Zhongxian realized that he had made a mistake and fell to his knees with a plop.

"By the way," Zhu Youxiao's face turned slightly as he asked, "How did you investigate the Wang Huazhen incident?"

"Judging from the correspondence obtained by the slave, there is indeed a private relationship between Wang Huazhen and Mao Wenlong, but to say that Wang Huazhen had an affair with a slave is just to kill someone with a borrowed knife."

"Does Wang Qi know about this?"

"Lu Enguang has already connected with Xiong Tingbi. It stands to reason that Wang Qi will receive the news soon."

"Whether Wang Huazhen really had an affair and became a slave, I don't care. I only want Wang Qi to bring me continuous victory in Liaodong! Therefore, anyone who dares to use this excuse to touch Wang Qi will have trouble with me and the Ming Dynasty. Jiangshan Sheji can't get through!" Zhu Youxiao stretched out his hand and tapped Wei Zhongxian: "Remember, send out all the spies. What are those people in Donglin planning? Report them all to me!"

"This slave accepts the order!" Wei Zhongxian bowed respectfully and then slowly withdrew.

After Wei Zhongxian left, Zhu Youxiao turned around and looked at the queen not far away, with a cheerful smile on his face again.
