Ming Dynasty fake eunuch

Chapter 63
The emperor was very angry, and the consequences were serious, but as an emperor, how could he easily express his anger?

At this moment, Emperor Wanli was sitting behind the imperial book table in the West Nuan Pavilion of Qianqing Palace, holding a book in his hand, as if he was reading it, but only he himself knew if he read it or not, anyway, he didn't watch him turn a page for a long time.

Sun Lun walked in lightly. The emperor was reading a book. Under normal circumstances, he didn't dare to disturb him, so he didn't even dare to fart when he came in. However, Wanli, who didn't even lift his head, seemed to know that the person who came in was he.

He asked, "Did someone bring it?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, Ye Xun is already waiting outside the palace"

"Tell him to come in, you all go down!"

Sun Lun agreed, turned around and went out to call Ye Xun in, then waved to call out the eunuchs and maids serving in the palace, and closed the palace door behind him.

Ye Xun had already received Sun Lun's advice, and after entering the hall, he threw himself on the ground and said respectfully: "Your servant Ye Xun kowtows to His Majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

The head kowtow was finished, and the flattery was also slapped. It is reasonable that Wanli should make Ye Xun stand up, but Ye Xun waited for a long time, but he didn't hear Wanli tell him to get up.

Ye Xun focused slightly, and immediately understood that the old emperor was being picky, so he didn't make a sound or move, but just knelt down there obediently, without even raising his head.

Time seemed to stand still, and Ye Xun could even hear his own heartbeat and the breathing of Emperor Wanli.

I don't know how long it took before Wanli said leisurely, "Did you see Cui Wensheng?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, the slave didn't know that it was Eunuch Cui who wanted to call the slave over before His Majesty, so after knowing it, the slave didn't take a step forward."

At that moment, Ye Xun told Wanli what happened just now. He believed that Wanli would know what he had done just now. The reason why he was asked to kneel now was nothing more than to show off the power of the emperor.

It can be said that Ye Xun is a master who is very good at figuring out people's hearts. With the bombardment of later movies, TV and various books, he has a close grasp of Emperor Wanli's mind.

It is true that a young eunuch has reported to Wanli that Ye Xun was left behind just now. Aside from Ye Xun's performance in Tieling, since Ye Xun entered the city, his series of performances have already made Ye Xun extremely popular in Wanli's heart. score.

"Get up! I must be exhausted to call you back from such a long distance!"

Just as Ye Xun was about to stand up, when he heard what Wanli said, he quickly fell down on the ground again, and respectfully said: "Your Majesty's servant is your slave, and no matter what you do for your Majesty, it is what a slave should do. Tired, Your Majesty is really tired, slavery is rampant outside the pass, and traitors are rampant inside, don't worry about that, Your Majesty must take care of the dragon body!"

At the end, Ye Xun's tone was a little choked up.

His mother, not to mention, I really have a talent for acting, why didn't I realize it before.
After hearing Ye Xun's words, Emperor Wanli was greatly moved. He knew very well that there were many people singing praises to him every day, but how many of them were sincere?

Those courtiers are best at fighting for power and profit. Not to mention the incompetent people, they always add to him and deceive him about everything. If he had known Li Chengliang's deeds earlier, why would Liaodong be corrupted to such an extent? ?
Hundreds of thousands of soldiers died in the battle of Saerhu. If Ye Xun hadn't given him some face back, he would have died of aggrieved death.

How can I say these carefree eunuchs are caring!
At the moment, he said softly: "You are very good, do things with your heart, I will definitely not treat you poorly"

Speaking of this, he paused, and asked a little cautiously: "Now I don't believe what those ministers say. I am in a hurry to call you back this time, just to hear with my own ears how the situation in Liaodong is going?"

Ye Xun stood up, raised his head slightly, and glanced out of the corner of his eye at the legendary Wanli Emperor who hid in the harem for decades without going to court, but who was able to completely control the government.

Emperor Wanli was sitting on the brocade couch. His height could not be discerned. He was slightly fat. There was a small black beard under his round face. The look of hanging up.

Ye Xun is not a historian, and he doesn't dare to judge Wanli's character, but from the anxiety and concern in Wanli's eyes at this moment, Ye Xun knows that this emperor who lives in the harem has never given up on his empire for a moment. , the reason why he did not go to court can be said to be completely angry with those civil servants.

Wanli's question is actually very difficult to answer. Saying that Liaodong is fine is tantamount to talking nonsense and saying that the situation is serious. How serious is it?Is there a way around this?How long can it be resolved?
Ye Xun didn't want to follow Yuan Chonghuan's example and create a five-year Pingliao cowhide. Even if Wanli died by then, with the pissing nature of a civil servant in Ming Dynasty, he would definitely settle the score with him.

Seeing that Ye Xun hesitated, Wanli encouraged him again: "Speak boldly, you are still young, even if you are wrong, I will not blame you."

It is really rare for an emperor to say such words to his servants.

Ye Xun was also moved. Although Wanli asked him to kneel for a while, it was nothing to him at all.

Organized the language, and then said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty asks, I will know everything, and I will say everything."

"The situation in Liaodong is indeed very serious. The guards all over the country are corrupt. They eat nothing and drink the blood of soldiers. Many military households fled. In the end, they either became refugees or fled to the pass. Even those who remained were also powerless. In other words, many military households were forced to go to the battlefield without even knowing how to hold a knife or gun, how can such an army be undefeated?"

In fact, Wanli knows what Ye Xun said, but knowing it is one thing, and whether it can be resolved is another. In this era, imperial power is indeed supreme, but what is this score for?

In the Wanli Dynasty, the various systems of the Ming Dynasty were equivalent to putting a curse on the imperial power, but the formulas were in the hands of civil servants. If the emperor wanted to do whatever he wanted, I'm sorry. The civil servants of the Ming Dynasty could immediately press the emperor to death. Damn, don't even try to move.

So although Ye Xun told the truth, Wanli was not angry, nodded and said, "How is Xiong Tingbi doing over there?"

"The slave is just about to tell His Majesty about this matter. Now in Liaodong, Jiannu is strong, but our army is weak, so it is better not to move. The slave fully agrees with Mr. Xiong's steady and steady strategy. It's just that Mr. Xiong has a bad temper and has offended others before. There are few people, so I am willing to invite Your Majesty to absolutely support and trust Lord Xiong."

Wanli still knows about Xiong Tingbi's ability, and also knows about Xiong Tingbi's bad temper.

He nodded and said, "I will pass on your suggestion to the cabinet. I also want to know, how long do you think it will take to calm Liaodong?"

Hearing what Wanli asked, Ye Xun couldn't help but smile wryly in his heart, he was really afraid of what you asked, I know how long it will take to level Liaodong!
