Ming Dynasty fake eunuch

Chapter 246 Datong
Standing on the city wall, Wang Xiangqian looked at the vast wilderness in the distance, his brows furrowed together.

Although the old man's body is still tall and straight, he is already in his 70s after all, and he has applied for retirement several times to the court but has not been approved.

Like Fang Congzhe, Wanli seems to prefer older people.

There are many things that bother the old man. Within two months in the capital, from Wanli to the current Zhu Youxiao, the throne of Sanyi is already in place. This is by no means a good thing for a country.

He has also heard some rumors about the capital, but this kind of thing is not something that local officials like him can participate in, and before Wanli died, he had secretly asked him to pay attention to the movements of the king. A necessary measure when the emperor changes, so he can only wait honestly in Datong and wait for the news.

As time went by, news from the capital gradually arrived, but what Wang Xiangqian didn't expect was that the city of Datong had suddenly become less peaceful recently, because there were a lot of new faces. Yu Jingqi suddenly appeared outside the Great Wall.

Hearing this news, the situation in Datong City suddenly became tense. Because the winter was too difficult, the Mongolian tribes invaded the border every winter, looting some supplies before returning to the grassland.

Although he was used to this kind of situation, Wang Xiangqian still did not dare to take it lightly. While dispatching troops and generals to defend closely, he sent people to negotiate with the Huahua Department and severely warned them not to cross the border.

The Huahua Department didn't know whether they were frightened by Wang Xiangqian's warning, or they had other plans, but they didn't take a step forward, just cruising around the Great Wall, not knowing what they wanted to do.

As a result, Wang Xiangqian was even more uncertain. Years of experience told him that there must be deep meaning in the act of frying flowers.

At this time, the Ming frontier army had long lost the ability to maneuver in field battles, so the old man could only watch the Mongols show off their power outside the Great Wall without taking any action.

"Master, there are guests looking for you in the mansion"

The old family's voice interrupted Wang Xiangqian's contemplation, he frowned and turned his head, "Who is it?"

The old man shook his head and said, "It was a young man who came from Liaodong. He only said that he had something urgent to report, but he refused to say what it was."

From Liaodong?
Hearing this place name, Wang Xiangqian frowned even deeper, because there was someone in Liaodong that he admired and hated very much. He admired this person for defeating the Jurchen Tartars in a row, which made Jiannuzai dare not easily step into the land of Ming Dynasty.

What I hate is that this person has no eyes on the emperor, dismisses the officials appointed by the court at will, and installs his own direct line. Is this what a loyal courtier should do?

If this person was not an eunuch, Wang Xiangqian would also think that he had resentment, but later this person was ordered to go to Beijing, and it seemed that he was not the kind of person he imagined. In short, he is now more and more confused about this young man Thoroughly.

The old man was old, he was a little tired after patrolling the city for a long time, and he just returned to the mansion with his old family.

The guests had already been invited into the living room, Wang Xiangqian returned to the back house and changed into loose clothes, drank a cup of hot tea, and then walked slowly into the living room.

Seemingly hearing Wang Xianggan's footsteps, the young man was already waiting at the door of the living room, and when he saw Wang Xianggan, he bowed and saluted with a smile on his face.

Wang Xiangqian has been in the ups and downs of his career for decades, and he has never seen any kind of person. Although this young man is very respectful to him, he can be seen as a person who has been in a high position for a long time.

I couldn't help but feel even more strange, how could I not know that there was such a character in Liaodong?

Nodding his head, he walked slowly to the main seat and sat down. He said calmly, "Who's subordinate are you? Why are you here looking for this old man?"

The young man smiled slightly, and saw that only his family members were with him, so he bowed again and said, "My junior, Ye Xun, I pay my respects to the governor."

"puff!"

Wang Xiangqian just drank the tea before he could swallow it, and when he heard the name Ye Xun, he spit it out suddenly.

After coughing several times, he pointed at Ye Xun and said, "You, you are Ye Xun?"

"Is there anyone else who claims to be my subordinate in front of the governor?"

Ye Xun's expression was very beating, and he didn't feel guilty at all because he choked Wang Xianggan.

Wang Xianggan was an old man, seeing that Ye Xun had come to find him so sneakily, he must have something to do, so he waved to his old family, signaling him to back down too.

Staring at Ye Xun, he said, "If the old man's guess is correct, you are the one who ordered the fried flowers, right?"

"Nothing can be hidden from the eyes of the Governor, but please rest assured, the Governor, they will never dare to set foot on the Great Wall. I want them to come, just to take me back to Liaodong."

Ye Xun's explanation seemed reasonable, but Wang Xiangqian didn't buy it at all, and said coldly: "I don't care about frying flowers, but what's going on in the city?"

After being questioned repeatedly by Wang Xiangqian, Ye Xun's expression also faded. He took out a folded paper from his pocket and handed it to Wang Xiangqian, saying, "Look! This is the Datong garrison under your old man's rule."

Wang Xiangqian took it in doubt and opened it. After only a few glances, he suddenly stood up from his seat and said angrily, "Where did this thing come from? Is it reliable?"

This is a statement about the fornication of Jurchen by the Fan family, Wang family and other seven families, and there are some generals related to it. No wonder Wang Xianggan is so excited.

"Personal Evidence"

"Then what are you waiting for, the old man will send it now."

Before Wang Xianggan finished speaking, he was interrupted by Ye Xun waving his hand and said, "My lord, please take a good look at the list. As far as I know, there are too many people involved here. If it doesn't work out, it will cause big trouble."

At this time, Wang Xiangqian also calmed down. He knew that he was really too excited just now. The generals involved in the list include deputy generals, guerrillas, and even a deputy commander in chief. The inexhaustible connection, if there is a little carelessness, it will not only be as simple as a mess, but even the vassal king may be involved.

After pondering for a moment, he said: "Then what do you say?"

Ye Xun smiled slightly, and said: "If you want to pacify Jianzhou, you must cut off its supplies from the source. I came here for this purpose, and no one will know that I have been here afterwards. The governor can put everyone on the list. People gathered together, and then burned this confession in front of him, when the time comes, these generals will be grateful for the kindness of the governor, and will definitely obey the boss even more."

Wang Xiangqian finally understood what Ye Xun wanted to do. Thinking of the rumors about Ye Xun before, he thought that this little eunuch was really greedy.

"This old man can pretend he doesn't know anything about you, but you should show something to this old man, right?"

Wang Xiangqian also smiled, like a mature old fox.

Ye Xun likes to deal with people like this, at least better than those who are full of honey and swords.

Pushing the package he brought to Wang Xiang from under his feet, he smiled and said, "Here is 20 taels, and there will be another 20 taels to send after the matter is completed."

Wang Xianggan didn't look at the package, he looked straight at Ye Xun and said, "I don't want the rest, I want your new mine from Shenyang."

"make a deal!"

Ye Xun, who was in pain, was immediately happy when he heard Wang Xiangqian's request.
