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

Chapter 91 Yuan Chonghuan’s determination to surrender
  At the gate of Donghua, Wang Qi walked out of the palace gate, and his personal entourage was waiting here.

"Sir," Qin Erbao handed the reins to Wang Qi.

Among the officials of the third rank and above in the capital, there are basically no ministers who ride horses. Everyone travels in sedan chairs. On the one hand, it is to maintain the dignity of the court officials, and on the other hand, it is also for the safety of the important officials of the court.

Wang Qi is an anomaly. He has three or two followers and travels on horseback. This is the characteristic of this Liaodong general.

The common people and scholars in the entire capital knew Wang Qi's habit.

"Marquis Dingyuan, please stay!" Wang Qi just got on his horse, and Yuan Chonghuan followed behind him.

Wang Qi sat on the horse without saying a word, looking down at the counselor who was considered his own.

"Sir, what happened in the palace just now, I hope you will forgive me!" The wound on Yuan Chonghuan's forehead had solidified, leaving a piece of brown blood, and he bowed to Wang Qi.

"Master Yuan, you are worrying too much." Wang Qi smiled, leaned over slightly and said, "Whether you are on Donglin's side or on my side, it is all for the sake of your own future. It doesn't matter whether you forgive me or not. Forgive me, in my opinion, there is no problem with this, and it is the same with following me to Liaodong. I hope you will do your best to serve the court for your own future!"

After saying this, Wang Qi ignored Yuan Chonghuan, but lightly shook the reins and rode away with a few guards.

Yuan Chonghuan looked at Wang Qi's back. He was at a loss at first, and then suddenly there was a burst of determination in his eyes. On Donghuamen Street, facing the people all over the street, he bowed deeply to Wang Qi's back: "Sir! Exit I will follow you to Liaodong, and I am willing to do my best! I also hope that you will support me!!"

This bow and this sound really stunned the people around, and also startled the little eunuchs who were watching in the imperial city.

Civil servants bowed to military attachés in the street, at the gate of Donghua, at the feet of the emperor.

This is the first time for this dynasty.

Yuan Chonghuan's body was bent almost at ninety degrees. The sunlight was slanting, and his shadow was extremely long, like a ripe shrimp, bowed there motionless.

Everyone on the street stopped and looked at this.

"Is that a civil servant?" The scholars and common people at the gate of Donghua still have some knowledge.

"Look at the style of the robe. It should be that of a fifth-grade civil servant." The young man, who looked like a scholar, followed his companion's finger and looked not far away. He was a young official in a dark red gilded python suit: " It’s like I’m meeting a military attaché.”

"Python robe? It's Wang Qi from Liaodong!"

"Civil servants of the imperial court pay homage to the military ministers of Liaodong in the street!"

On the street, there was a lot of discussion in an instant.

On the imperial city, the little eunuch also grinned and leaned forward to look down.

Not far away, Wang Qi reined in his horse after hearing this, turned his head and looked at Yuan Chonghuan for a while, then replied: "Get up, Mr. Yuan, if you are interested, follow me to Liaoning at noon tomorrow at Dongzhi Gate!"

After hearing this, Yuan Chonghuan stood up and bowed again. His voice was extremely humble and louder: "Thank you so much, Marquis Dingyuan!!"

Once a person has risked his life for the sake of his future and his ideals, he no longer has any scruples, and his behavior changes drastically.

But at this time, most of the people were stunned on the spot: Ning Yuanhou?

Wang Qi finally became a marquis?

----

The imperial meeting is over.

Wang Qi and others have been gone for a long time.

Zhu Youxiao sat in the main hall, looking at the black and white writing on the royal table, unable to speak for a long time. The bets between Yang Lian, Zuo Guangdou, Han Xu and Wang Qi were directly written in the imperial edict.

It lasts for three months, and everyone knows what kind of uproar it will cause if the contents of this imperial edict are spread.

"Your Majesty?" Wei Zhongxian bowed and said, "Do you want to send someone to seal it and prevent the news from spreading?"

Zhu Youxiao blinked and glanced at Wei Zhongxian: "There is no need to seal it, but to publicize it! This edict can be regarded as a declaration of war against Jianzhou! It represents the determination of the Ming Dynasty! It also allows the world to Let the common people see whether it is Donglin's party that wins the hearts of the people, or it is our generals who are heroic!"

"I understand!" Wei Zhongxian bowed, already having a plan in mind.

Putting away the imperial edict, Zhu Youxiao stood up, walked to the screen, and carefully observed the map on it: "Wang Qi said he would leave for Liao tomorrow?"

It was a map of the geographical distribution of Liaodong, which was clearer than the mountain and river map on Xiong Tingbi's desk in the Liaodong Manager.

Everything from a small fortress to a major river town is clearly marked.

Wei Zhongxian followed closely behind him: "Yes, Your Majesty."

Zhu Youxiao's fingers slowly moved from Guangning City to the Liaohe River, and then to the northeast, stopping at the location of Liaoyang City: "This was the heart of my Ming Dynasty, Liaodong!"

Zhu Youxiao's tone was full of obsession: "If Wang Qi can lead his troops to regain Liaoyang City, then I can reward him as a prince!"

Wei Zhongxian lowered his head and returned carefully: "Your Majesty, Marquis Ningyuan only has three months."

Zhu Youxiao lowered his eyes and glanced at Wei Zhongxian: "In three months, he does not need to touch the top of Liaoyang City. As long as he can extend the front line to the Liaohe River, I will recognize his contribution!"

After all, Zhu Youxiao himself knew that in the entire Ming Dynasty, except Wang Qi, he could not count on anyone.

Can Yang Lian do it?
  Or Zuo Guangdou, Han Xu, and Ye Xianggao?

Writing articles and educating the people may be useful, but to mount a horse to kill and fight against the old slaves, you still have to rely on Wang Qi.

This is also the reason why Zhu Youxiao has supported Wang Qi so firmly from the beginning.

The Tianqi Emperor's temperament is a bit similar to his grandfather: even nine cows can't pull back the things he is sure of!
  Based on this alone, the Ming Sizong of later generations was far behind.
  "Your Majesty!" Wang Tiqian's figure appeared at the door of the hall.

"Say," Zhu Youxiao's body was almost pressed against the screen.

"Outside Donghua Gate, not far from Dong'ankou, Yuan Chonghuan, the head of the Ministry of War, stood in front of Wang Qi to salute Wang Qi in the street. He had a clear sense of surrender and aroused a lot of discussion among the people." Wang Tiqian bowed into the hall and reported to Emperor Tianqi the situation on the street. .

"What did Wang Qi say?" Zhu Youxiao's face was expressionless, as if he had known this would happen.

It can be said that everyone in the Hall just now knows that a person like Yuan Chonghuan and a person with that kind of character will not let go of this opportunity.

"Ningyuan Marquis only replied: If you are interested, we will go to Liao together outside Dongzhi Gate at noon tomorrow." The people arranged by Wang Tiqian were clever, and they clearly understood the conversation between Wang Qi and Yuan Chonghuan.

"This is to focus on state affairs." Zhu Youxiao nodded, turned back to Wei Zhongxian and Wang Tiqian and said: "You, the Supervisor of Ceremonies, should also select some people who are brave enough to do things. Those who dare to do things don't be afraid of hands. Feet, I have no doubts about my employing people! Those who call you cats and dogs put their hearts in their stomachs, do you understand?"

"I understand!" Wei Zhongxian and Wang Tigan knelt down and kowtowed together.

"By the way, send someone to tell Wang Qi tonight that his uncle Wang Huazhen will return to Shandong as soon as possible so that he can work with peace of mind!"

Zhu Youxiao pointed at the location of Liaoyang City on the screen with his finger, sighed slightly, then turned and left.
