Now that the prototype of the steam engine was there, and the problem of the musket was solved, Chongzhen didn't stay long, so he returned to the Forbidden City.

Just thinking about Zhu Huiyan's request, Chongzhen's heart was still extremely unhappy.

What will happen if Chongzhen, who is the son of heaven, is unhappy? Of course, it is to make all the noble ministers unhappy.

As a result, a willful decree similar to that of Emperor Zhengde was issued.

The requirements in the will are very simple, the noble King Pan of the world, whether it is the Mu Wangfu in Yunnan, or the British princes and others in Beijing, including those who are ready to replace or not replace the fiefs, all of them must send one of their sons in law to the capital to set up another battalion in the capital, and the emperor will personally discipline them.

Just when the vassal lords and nobles had a headache, time had slowly and leisurely passed for nearly a month.

Chongzhen looked at the person in front of him, and he was a little unhappy in his heart. Even if he is not a member of the Appearance Association, the person in front of him really does not match his aesthetics.

Chongzhen, who saw Yuan Chonghuan for the first time, felt that he had been deceived by someone Jin, especially the TV series of Blue Blood Sword, which portrayed Yuan Chonghuan as dignified and majestic.

But what's going on with this black, thin, black, thin dwarf man in front of him? According to the perspective of later generations, the height is less than 1.65 meters, even in Daming, he is considered a third-class cripple.

The forehead and skull are high, the skin is dark, and although the appearance is not too scary like Zhong Kui, but in the entire Ming Dynasty, it is estimated that it is not easy to find someone uglier than the person in front of him - the shape is like a small monkey, and the sex is extremely irritable, which is to describe Yuan Chonghuan as looking like a monkey and short-tempered.

But no matter what, Chongzhen still has a little expectation in his heart. After all, people can't be disguised, and those true and false historical materials in later generations are unreliable, what if Yuan Chonghuan has real skills and is a loyal minister?

Thinking that he would not force Yuan Chonghuan to play for five years, Chongzhen had another expectation in his heart.

However, being summoned by Chongzhen to accompany Di Wen Tiren and other bigwigs was not very happy in their hearts. A black monkey is just worth so many people to watch?

Chongzhen didn't know what Wen Tiren and other courtiers were thinking, and after Yuan Chonghuan saw the ceremony, he asked meaningfully: "I always hear people talk about Yuan Aiqing on weekdays, and in the reports sent back by Liaodong Xizuo, there are also many words that Jiannu is afraid of Yuan Aiqing. If Yuan Aiqing supervises Liaodong, what is the best plan? ”

Yuan Chonghuan said unhurriedly: "Your Majesty, what Your Majesty said just now is really ashamed of Weichen."

Weichen is valued by His Majesty, if he can supervise Liaodong, be a Ming military discipline, train strong soldiers, and build a city, Liaodong will definitely be fully restored. All the strategies, the minister has been written in the chapter of the *** Your Majesty's Imperial Review. ”

Chongzhen asked meaningfully: "Dongjiang Mao Wenlong, what are Yuan Aiqing's plans?" ”

Yuan Chonghuan still looked light-hearted, and replied: "Your Majesty, since the minister and General Mao are ministers in the same palace, they should work together for Your Majesty and serve the Ming Dynasty." General Mao restrained Jiannu in the Dongjiang River, and he was practically the optimus jade pillar of the Liaodong war situation, and the golden beam of the sea. ”

When Chongzhen heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and then asked: "If Aiqing supervises Liaodong, what do you need?" How many years can it be determined? ”

It was only at this time that the Confucian general-like complexion on Yuan Chonghuan's face changed slightly, and after thinking about it, he bowed down and replied: "Your Majesty, if Your Majesty allows the ministers to act cheaply, then Liaodong can be restored in five years." ”

Chongzhen sighed in his heart that history is strong, even if there are 10,000 sentences of hemp wheat husk, he doesn't know whether to talk about it or not.

Although he was unhappy in his heart, Chongzhen didn't show it on his face, but said lightly: "I'm tired, let's take a break for a while." Yuan Aiqing thought about it and replied to me in the afternoon. ”

After Chongzhen left, the ministers looked at each other, and had to temporarily withdraw from the palace to see His Majesty again in the afternoon.

Xu Yuqing, who only vigorously promoted and recommended Yuan Chonghuan, asked Yuan Chonghuan: "Is the element really sure that it will be five years of Pingliao?" ”

When Yuan Chonghuan heard this, he smiled bitterly: "Where are you sure?" It's just a matter of consolation. ”

Xu Yuqing sighed, but complained: "The elements are confused! Now wise, the result of killing is only afraid that it is not under the ancestor of Taizu, if Liaodong cannot be pacified after five years, it depends on how you explain to the Son of Heaven! It's just that I'm suffering, I'm afraid I'm going to be killed by you. ”

Yuan Chonghuan stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Brother Gongshi, don't worry, the Son of Heaven doesn't want to be peaceful for five years, Brother Gongshi doesn't care?" ”

Xu Yuqing secretly scolded Lao Tzu in his heart, he really believed in your evil! On his face, he said curiously: "Please also ask Brother Elemental to teach me." ”

Yuan Chonghuan was confident, and said with a faint smile: "Just now Yuan said that when the whole army was training, His Majesty's face was pale, and when Yuan said that it could be peaceful in five years, His Majesty was uncertain. At the same time, when Jiannu knocked on the customs before, His Majesty had said that he would first drive the imperial car to conquer Liaodong, how could he let Yuan level Liao in five years? Brother Gongshi is really worried. ”

When Xu Yuqing heard this, he didn't think about it anymore, and the two chatted for a while, and then patiently waited for His Majesty to see him in the afternoon.

In the afternoon, everyone rushed to the platform to see the driver.

After the ministers finished saluting, Chongzhen asked, "How did Yuan Aiqing think about it?" Is it still five years to restore Liaodong? ”

Yuan Chonghuan was also clever, and immediately bowed: "Your Majesty is wise, and the minister is guilty." Five years of Pingliao is really a lie. The minister deceived the king first, please punish your majesty. ”

Chongzhen thought, who said that this Yuan Chonghuan is a barbarian? Those bullshit history books of later generations are not all nonsense? Doesn't this also know how to change?

Thinking in his heart, Chongzhen said, "That's it." Yuan Aiqing wants to comfort my mind, I know, how can I blame for my words? That's it, Yuan Chonghuan listened to the order. ”

Yuan Chonghuan saw that his thoughts were about to be achieved at this moment, so he hurriedly knelt down and said, "Minister Yuan Chonghuan listens to the order. ”

Chongzhen said: "Add Yuan Chonghuan as the governor of Liaodong, control Liaodong, Ningyuan and Jinzhou should be military and political, and it will be decided by Aiqing." I hope that Aiqing can be loyal to the king in Liaodong, and when Liaodong is pacified, why should I be stingy with the reward of the marquis? is the descendant of Aiqing, and he is also shaded by Aiqing. ”

When Yuan Chonghuan heard this, he thanked him and said: "Minister Yuan Chonghuan, thank you." Long live my emperor, long live, long live. Overjoyed, his voice trembled a little.

Chongzhen didn't care either, and after ordering Yuan Chonghuan to get up, Chongzhen continued: "This time Yuan Aiqing arrived in Liaodong, there is no need to be anxious with Jiannu for a while, and there is no need to say anything about five years of Liaoning.

I know the situation of this Great Ming Guard. It's too embarrassing to say that five years of Pingliao are too embarrassing. As long as Aiqing guards Liaodong without losing it, it will be a great achievement.

If Aiqing can work with Mao Aiqing to make Jiannu have a headache and not sleep well, I will be very happy. One day, I still want to conquer Liaodong in person! ”
