In the middle of May of the sixth year of the Apocalypse, the Inner Court Qianqing Palace.

"Good! Good! It is worthy of Pingliao Hou! The Emperor of the Apocalypse looked at the report document in his hand, his body trembled slightly, and his eyes could not hide his excitement.

Handing the document to Wei Zhongxian, the Emperor of the Apocalypse walked back and forth excitedly, and said, "Wei Daban!" The Marquis of Pingliao is really my good minister of the humerus of the Ming Dynasty! With his own strength, he gradually stabilized his foothold in Liaodong, and now he is leading the Liaodong army to kill the slave chief Nurhachi and recover the lost territory in Liaodong! ”

At this stage, Wei Zhongxian, because he won the trust of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, completely controlled the foreign dynasty, and in the name of the factory duke, shocked the foreign dynasty.

Since the first assistant of the cabinet, to the six ministries, the three law divisions and other key yamen, and then to the governors and governors of the Quartet, most of them are eunuch party officials, who are willing to be Wei Zhongxian's sworn friends, and now if you want to climb up as an official, you must be under Wei Zhongxian's command.

Wei Zhongxian had a little smile on his face, and followed the Emperor of the Apocalypse and said: "This is all the emperor's wise decision, although the Pingliao Marquis is unparalleled, but if there is no emperor's trust, and the resources of the imperial court are concentrated to help the Pingliao Marquis, I am afraid that the loss of Liaodong will not be recovered by the Pingliao Marquis so quickly." ”

What Wei Zhongxian said seemed to be the role played by the Emperor of the Apocalypse in the process of recovering the lost territory of Liaodong.

But in fact, the real connotation I want to express is actually to belittle Zhao Zongwu's contribution to recovering the lost land in Liaodong, but after these years of political struggle, he knows very well the temperament of his emperor.

The Emperor of the Apocalypse waved his hand, the excitement on his face was still unabated, and said: "I have done all the things that should be done, but the Marquis of Pingliao has withstood countless pressures in the past few years, and I must not let such a loyal minister chill!" ”

Hearing what his emperor said, Wei Zhongxian, who was behind the Emperor of the Apocalypse, flashed a trace of fierceness in his eyes, but then regained his composure and said: "What the emperor said is true, but how to reward it should be allowed to discuss a charter, so that the emperor can also be constant according to this." ”

With Wei Zhongxian's control in the outer courts, the continuous enhancement of his control power also made the Emperor of the Apocalypse greatly consolidate the imperial power in his hands, which also slowly made the Emperor of the Apocalypse develop a habit, no matter what the government affairs, the outer dynasty negotiated a charter, and then reported to the inner court for discretion.

In addition, over the years, unimportant matters have been handed over to Wei Zhongxian, and slowly many government affairs have been dictated by the Emperor of the Apocalypse, and then handled by Wei Zhongxian himself, which also gave Wei Zhongxian a lot of room for manipulation.

The Emperor of the Apocalypse thought for a moment and said, "Yes." ”

In fact, the news about the victory in Liaodong has already spread throughout the capital, and even the entire Beizhili has known about it, and it has also spread at a considerable speed.

The fall of Liaodong, this is definitely a shameful existence for the Ming Dynasty, no one thought that the small Jiannu border trouble would evolve so ferocious, and the dignified Ming army would be defeated by the border aliens!

The sad song of Salhu still hovers in the ears of the entire Ming Dynasty.

Although the current trend of the imperial court is dominated by the eunuch party, this does not mean that there are no other forces in Beijing.

Da Ming Xin Palace.

"You said that Liaodong lost land, and now all of it has been recovered by Zhao Zongwu's troops?"

In the garden of the palace, the young man held a porcelain fish bowl in his hand, kept throwing food into the fish pond, stared at the surging fish, and spoke in a flat tone.

When the middle-aged man next to him heard this, he bowed to the young man and said, "Yes, His Royal Highness King Xin!" ”

When Zhu Youzhen heard this, he smiled a little more, handed the fish bowl to the eunuch beside him, glanced at the fish and shook his head slightly.

I didn't say anything else, but I can guess how much it means......

"Factory father! This time, Zhao Zongwu must not be easily allowed to get a high position. Gu Bingqian's expression was firm, and his words were even more excited: "Although Zhao Zongwu has the merit of leveling Liao, but his age and his conduct, he must not be rewarded in a big way, if he is allowed to go one step further this time, I am afraid that there will be a faction in the future!" ”

As the current head of the Ming Cabinet, because Gu Bingqian licked well, he was quite trusted by Wei Zhongxian, but this does not mean that he is comfortable.

The eunuch party in this life is much stronger than in the previous life, this is because Zhao Zongwu helped Wei Zhongxian in advance and gathered the main combat strength of the eunuch party, which was done in order to contain the powerful Donglin party at that time, but although the eunuch party is strong, the internal struggle is also more intense than before.

Everyone wants to climb up, and everyone knows the benefits of power, so no one is convinced, and everyone wants to lick Wei Zhongxian well, so as to ensure that power is consolidated.

Huang Liji heard what Gu Bingqian said, with a little smile on his face, and said to Wei Zhongxian, who was thinking deeply: "Factory Father, this matter must not be looked at like this, Zhao Zongwu's recovery of the lost land in Liaodong can be big or small, but how to reward it, we still need to know what the emperor thinks in his heart." ”

Although it is said that the weather emperor likes to play with novel craftsmanship in ordinary times, the emperor is the emperor after all, and no one knows the meaning he represents better than Wei Zhongxian's heart, especially in the case of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, there is also a force of in-laws gathered around the Emperor of the Apocalypse, it seems that the foreign dynasty is the eunuch family, but in fact, there are still many ways in this.

It's just that for Wei Zhongxian, because he can get a large amount of gold and silver, he already has a noble status, so he doesn't care much about these details, but one thing he knows very well in his heart is that everything he has now is only obtained by relying on the emperor!

"Form 5, you go on." Listening to what Huang Liji said, Wei Zhongxian seemed to think of something, so he frowned slightly and preached.

Seeing that his factory father wanted to continue listening, he paused and continued: "The recovery of the lost land in Liaodong is definitely the first major event in this dynasty in the current dynasty!"

In any case, since the beginning of the 45th year of Wanli, the important towns of Liaodong have fallen one after another, and our dynasty has made great efforts to recover the lost land in Liaodong.

Imagine that in order to conquer Liaodong in these years, the dead and wounded officials of our dynasty have not been counted, and the loss of soldiers has not been counted.

And in such a situation, the Marquis of Pingliao began to go to Fusang to exchange gold and silver, established Donghai Town, and then blitzed the land of Jinzhou in Liaodong!

Without getting a trace of help, he led his soldiers to constantly fight against Jiannu, and in the process of constantly recovering lost territory, which itself the emperor particularly favored the Marquis of Pingliao, after all, the Marquis of Pingliao gained a lot of dignity for the Ming Dynasty.

And the relationship between the Marquis of Pingliao and the emperor, I am afraid that the prince of the factory knows better than anyone else, if my cabinet cannot truthfully give the Marquis of Pingliao due merits this time, it will definitely be disgusted by the emperor.

The humble position is not afraid that his own power will not be guaranteed, but the humble position is worried that if the emperor is angry and directly transfers the Marquis of Pingliao to the capital, what kind of impact will it bring? ”

Huang Liji said in the end, so that Wei Zhongxian was no longer calm.

Oh, yes!

If Zhao Zongwu returns to Beijing with a big victory, what changes will it bring to the Ming officialdom?

Can even one's own power be secured?

Whenever he thought of Zhao Zongwu, he felt very afraid in Wei Zhongxian's heart, because he understood Zhao Zongwu's true strength, so Wei Zhongxian would have such a reaction.

Because of Huang Liji's words, Wei Zhongxian strengthened his inner thoughts.
