The emperor is very angry, and the consequences are very serious, but as an emperor, how can the joy and anger in his heart be easily revealed?

At this moment, Emperor Wanli was sitting behind the imperial book case in the Xinuan Pavilion of the Qianqing Palace, holding a book in his hand, as if he was reading, but whether he saw it or not, I am afraid that only he himself knew, anyway, he didn't watch him turn a page for half a day.

Sun Lun walked in lightly, the emperor was reading a book, under normal circumstances, he didn't dare to disturb, so he didn't even dare to put a fart after coming in, but Wanli, who didn't even raise his head, seemed to know that it was him who came in.

He asked, "Brought by someone?" ”

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

"Call him in, and you all go down!"

Sun Lun agreed, turned around and withdrew to call Ye Xun in, and beckoned several eunuchs and palace maids waiting in the hall to go out, and also brought the palace door with him.

Ye Xun had already received Sun Lun's guidance, and after entering the hall, he threw himself directly to the ground, and said respectfully: "Slave Ye Xun knocks on Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live!" ”

The head was also knocked over, and the sycophants were also patted, it stands to reason that Wanli should let Ye Xun stand up, but Ye Xun waited for a long time, and he didn't hear Wanli tell him to get up.

Ye Xun stared slightly, and immediately understood that the old emperor was provocative, and he didn't say a word or move at the moment, but just knelt there honestly, without even raising his head.

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

I don't know how long it took before I heard Wanli say leisurely: "Can you see Cui Wensheng?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, the minion didn't know at first that it was Gonggong Cui who wanted to call the minion over before His Majesty, so after knowing it, the minion didn't take a step forward"

At that moment, Ye Xun told Wanli what had just happened again, he believed that Wanli would definitely know what he had just done, and the reason why he was still kneeling now was just to show the might of the emperor.

It can be said that Ye Xun is a master who is very good at figuring out people's hearts, and the bombardment of films, television and all kinds of books in later generations made him feel the thoughts of Emperor Wanli.

Just now, there is indeed a little eunuch who has reported to Wanli that Ye Xun was left behind, aside from Ye Xun's performance in Tieling, since Ye Xun entered the city, his series of performances have made Ye Xun score extremely high in Wanli's heart.

"Get up! I must be tired of calling you back so far away! ”

Ye Xun was just about to stand up, and when he heard Wanli say this, he fell to the ground again, and said respectfully: "The slave is His Majesty's domestic slave, no matter what he does for His Majesty, it is what a slave should do, there is no such thing as tiredness, if you want to say tired, Your Majesty is really tired, the construction of slaves outside the gate is rampant, and traitors are rampant in the court, don't worry about it, Your Majesty must take care of the dragon body!" ”

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

His mother's land, not to mention, Lao Tzu really has a talent for acting, why didn't he find out before...

After listening to Ye Xun's words, Emperor Wanli was greatly moved, he knew very well that there were many people who sang praises to him every day, but how many of them were sincere?

What those courtiers are best at is fighting for power and profit, not to mention some incompetent people, but always blocking him, and deceiving him about everything, if he knew what Li Chengliang did earlier, why would Liaodong be so erosive?

In the first battle of Salhu, hundreds of thousands of soldiers were gone, if Ye Xun hadn't regained some face for him, he would probably have to suffocate to death.

How can you say that these unconcerned eunuchs are still intimate!

At the moment, Wen Yan said: "You are very good, work hard, I will not treat you lightly"

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

Ye Xun stood up, raised his head slightly, and glanced at the legendary Wanli Emperor who hid in the harem for decades and did not go to court, but could completely control the government.

Emperor Wanli sat on the brocade couch, he couldn't see his height, slightly fat, and a small black beard under his round face, which was very well maintained, white and clean, and his slender eyes were blazing, and he couldn't see that he was about to hang up.

Ye Xun is not a historian, and he does not dare to evaluate Wanli's personality, 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 his empire for a moment, and the reason why he does not go to court can be said to be completely angry with those civil officials.

Wanli asked this sentence, in fact, it is very difficult to answer, saying that Liaodong is fine, that is equivalent to staring at the eyes and talking nonsense, saying that the situation is very serious, how serious is that? Is there a way to fix it? How long does it take to resolve?

Ye Xun didn't want to learn from Yuan Chonghuan to make a five-year Pingliao cowhide, even if Wanli died, with the urine of the Ming civil official, he would definitely settle accounts with him.

Seeing that Ye Xun was a little hesitant, Wanli encouraged again: "Be bold and say that you are still young, even if you say something wrong, I will not blame you."

It is rare for an emperor to say such a thing to his own minions.

Ye Xun was also moved in his heart, although Wanli made him kneel for a while, it was nothing to him at all.

Organized the language for a while, and then said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty asked, the slave must know everything, and the words are endless."

"The situation in Liaodong is indeed very serious, the guards in various places are eroded, eating empty salaries and drinking the blood of soldiers, so that many military households have fled, and finally either become displaced people or fled to the Guannei, even if they are left, they have no combat power at all, many military households are forced to go to the battlefield without even holding knives and guns, just imagine how such an army can not be defeated?"

In fact, Ye Xun said these words Wanli knows, but knowing is one thing, whether it can be solved is another, in this era, the imperial power is indeed supreme, but what is this score.

In the Wanli Dynasty, the various systems of the Ming Dynasty are equivalent to putting a tight spell on the imperial power, but the mantra is in the hands of the ministers, if the emperor wants to do whatever he wants, then he can't help it, the ministers of the Ming Dynasty can immediately press the emperor to death, don't think about moving.

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

"The slave is trying to tell Your Majesty about this, now in Liaodong, the slave is strong, and our army is weak, so it is advisable to be quiet and not to move, the slave fully agrees with Lord Xiong's steady and steady strategy, but Lord Xiong is short-tempered and has offended many people before, so the slave is willing to ask Your Majesty to absolutely support and trust Lord Xiong"

Wanli still knows Xiong Tingbi's ability, and he also knows Xiong Tingbi's stinky temper.

Nodding his head, he said: "Your suggestion, I will convey it to the cabinet, I still want to know, how long do you think it will take to pacify Liaodong?" ”

Hearing Wanli's question, Ye Xun couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart, what are you really afraid of, what do you ask, I know how long it will take to calm Liaodong!
