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

Chapter 83
  Not long after, Emperor Tianqi left the hall accompanied by Wei Zhongxian.

After all the ministers got up, most of them left.

Han Xu and Sun Chengzong walked away together. Hui Shiyang and other Donglins looked at Yang Lian's direction and left slowly. The chief minister of the cabinet, Ye Xianggao, lowered his head and seemed to mutter a few words before leaving the palace alone.

Not long after, only the two people who had just been facing each other were left in the hall.

At this time, Yang Lian and Wang Qi were very close.

The cleaning eunuchs of Jianji Palace also stayed far away from here to avoid hearing the conversation between the two adults.
  In the hall, Yang Lian stared at Wang Qi for a few times before saying slowly: "When I first heard your name Wang Qi, some people said that you were known as a playboy in the yamen. I agreed at the time, and I thought that although the yamen were domineering, they were still in the palace. In the court, when I see the nobles of the court, I will still be respectful and restrained, but now I see that the evaluation of my friends is not the same."

"Yang Yushi has any new insights?" Wang Qi did not leave, but quietly waited for what Yang Lian would say.

Yang Lian's thick eyebrows twitched and he sneered: "He is still a traitor even though he is wearing the skin of a government official."

"In the minds of you and other civil servants, after we and our generals gain power, we will support our troops, control the place, intimidate the court, and then bring chaos to the world." Wang Qi shrugged and said casually: "Then please wait and see, Mr. Yang."

"Whether you are a traitor or not is not up to you." After the debate just now, Yang Lian seemed to be inexplicably patient with Wang Qi and continued to explain: "To say something inappropriate, Zhao Da, the founder of Song Dynasty, was also in a dream. He was frightened and wore a yellow robe."

"It's nonsense." Yang Lian's prejudice against military officials was deeply rooted in his heart and could not be changed. Wang Qi didn't want to waste time here and turned around and left.

"Wang Qi, if one day you are able to command a powerful army and dominate the frontier," Yang Lian looked at Wang Qi's back and still thought to himself, "I hope you can remember everything I said in the court today!"

After a while, Wang Qi's figure disappeared. Yang Lian didn't know if Wang Qi heard her words, but a sense of desolation appeared on the face of this veteran minister.

call! ! !
  Yang Lian hammered his back, and he had to admit defeat. The sight of Wang Qi in the court just now made Yang Lian feel a deep sense of powerlessness: I will wait and see!

On the other side, Wang Qi, with his hands behind his back, had slowly walked across the right arch of Jinshui Bridge and headed towards the Donghua Gate wall passage.

With his head lowered, Wang Qi was thinking about his next plan as he walked.

Today's Pingliao plan was originally supposed to wait until at least three years later, when Liaodong had settled down, before it could be implemented. However, due to the incident involving his uncle Wang Huazhen, Wang Qi had to hand it over in advance to disrupt Donglin's plan.

But this also forced Wang Qi to make some in-depth planning quickly.
  Ping Liao is indeed not just one or two wars, nor is it just two people dying, but a competition of comprehensive strength.

"Commander-in-Chief, please stay," a soft call came from not far behind Wang Qi, still referring to Wang Qi's new title as Commander-in-Chief.

Looking back, Wang Qi saw Wei Zhongxian with a wrinkled face.

"Eunuch Wei, what's the matter?" Wang Qi looked at the rapidly rising inner palace official.

Relying on Zhu Youxiao's plan to balance the court and suppress the civil servants, and with the emperor's tacit approval, Wei Zhongxian's power has continuously penetrated into all aspects of the entire Ming Dynasty.

"Your Majesty, please come over," Wei Zhongxian chuckled and added kindly: "The three-year Ping Liao proposal you proposed in court made His Majesty a little restless and wanted to call you over to ask questions."

"Please, father-in-law, please lead the way," Wang Qi nodded.

Following Wei Zhongxian, Wang Qi walked slowly towards the East Pavilion in the direction of the inner palace.

"Master Wang has made many meritorious deeds in Liaodong, and has also caused a lot of discussion in the capital." Wei Zhongxian walked in front and took the opportunity to talk to Wang Qi: "The emperor is very happy, and I haven't seen this old slave for a long time. Your Majesty values ​​a person so much."

"It's all thanks to the emperor," Wang Qi said calmly, two steps away from Wei Zhongxian. Perhaps feeling that Wang Qi had no desire to have an in-depth conversation with him, Wei Zhongxian closed his mouth at the right time, just lowered his head and led the way.

Not long after, in the East Pavilion, Wang Qi saw Zhu Youxiao, who looked uneasy and was walking back and forth.

"Your Majesty, General Wang has arrived," Wei Zhongxian respectfully stepped forward to report.

"You guys go down, I'll have a chat with Wang Aiqing alone," Zhu Youxiao waved his hand and dismissed the palace maids and the serving eunuchs.

"You go down too," Zhu Youxiao pointed outside the pavilion when Wei Zhongxian didn't move.

"Slave, I obey!" Wei Zhongxian licked his face and smiled, bowed his body, and walked away slowly. When he passed by Wang Qi, his little eyes glanced quickly, and the meaning was unclear.

Soon, only Wang Qi and Zhu Youxiao were left in the East Pavilion.

"Sit down," Zhu Youxiao pointed to the round stool beside him, and ordered the pastries and snacks on the table: "You can eat whatever you want."

"Thank you, Your Majesty," Wang Qi said without any politeness. He lifted up the hem of his robe, sat down gently, and at the same time picked up a piece of tea cake on the table, stuffed it in his mouth and started eating.

"Follow what you said in the palace, three years of Ping Liao," Zhu Youxiao didn't make any foreshadowing, and got straight to the point: "Is it a temporary idea, or has it been planned for a long time?"

"Let me say something to comfort Your Majesty," Wang Qi wiped off the pastry residue in his hands and said calmly: "It is not impossible to level the Liao Dynasty in three years!"

"What if you're not relieved?" Zhu Youxiao had no joy on his face.

"Judging from the current situation in the Ming Dynasty, where the Ming Dynasty is at odds with each other and leaks from all sides, it will be impossible to pacify the Liao Dynasty in thirty years!" Wang Qi said a simple nonsense.

Zhu Youxiao also narrowed his eyes, as if to say: Are you fucking kidding me?

"I'm not joking when I recruit you!" Zhu Youzhen said with a straight face.

"What I need is the unreserved support of the imperial court. At the same time, the imperial court must also ensure Shandong's logistical support for Liaodong!" Wang Qi looked at Zhu Youxiao, his expression had become firm and confident: "If possible, within three years, Inside, Houjin will be destroyed!"

"What does unreserved support mean?" Zhu Youxiao asked.

He is no longer the emperor who first ascended the throne two years ago. When it comes to his ministers' words, he usually believes one point, doubts four points, and listens to the other five points.

"Don't rush, don't ask, don't believe, don't doubt."

Of course, there is another sentence that Wang Qi did not say: Whoever slanders a civil servant in the dynasty will go to Liao!

This sentence offended the scholars of the world too much. Wang Qi felt that the time had not come yet, so he should save it for later.

"Money, food, population, soldiers, weapons," Zhu Youxiao clapped his fingers: "Don't you ask for anything?"

"I won't want what the imperial court doesn't have. As for what your Majesty said, just give me time, don't rush, don't ask, don't believe, don't doubt, and if you do the above four things, I can raise it myself!"

Looking at Wang Qi's young face, Zhu Youxiao felt a natural sense of trust.
