Chapter 164: Means

Wanli had two compendiums in front of him, one from Ye Xun's eight-hundred-mile expedited and the other from Liaodong Jinglu Yuan Yingtai.

It was very quiet in the imperial study, and Wanli looked ahead with unfocused eyes, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Fang Congzhe stood under Wanli with his hands down, and he also didn't say a word, he had read both of them, but he couldn't figure out Wanli's mind now, so he didn't dare to say nonsense.

After a while, Wanli suddenly said: "There is a secret report from the imperial history, Xiao Yezi is arrogant and domineering in Liaodong, and anyone who disobeys him, no matter what official position, will be punished, and he will be demoted at least and lose his life at worst, what does the elder think of this matter?" ”

Fang Congzhe said in his heart, how can that kid be arrogant and domineering in Liaodong? It would be too much to say that he was bold and reckless.

It has to be said that Fang Congzhe is still a relatively upright person, at least he will not stare and talk nonsense, and he can also think about the overall situation.

Pondered for a while, and said: "Your Majesty, the old minister has also heard a lot of rumors about him, but no matter what, since he sat in Liaodong, Jiannu has been defeated repeatedly, especially the battle of Kuandian Six Forts, it is really like a stroke of genius, Lao Chen believes that as long as he can hold this place, it will completely reverse the unfavorable situation of our army in Liaodong, and it is not impossible to completely exterminate Jiannu in the future."

"Ye Xun is bold, domineering, and no one in his eyes, these problems are all there, but no matter when, he is His Majesty's domestic slave, His Majesty only needs a holy decree, and he has to return to the court obediently"

"Of course, these are the foolish opinions of the old ministers, but Your Majesty, presumably Your Majesty has already made a decision in his heart"

Fang Congzhe's words pointed out Ye Xun's faults, and at the same time affirmed Ye Xun's achievements, the most important thing is to tell Wanli that no matter how hard Ye Xun is, he is also your royal minion, and he can't turn the sky upside down.

These words can be said to be about Wanli's heart, starting from Li Chengliang, Liaodong has changed many warp guards, but the situation is getting worse day by day, now this little leaf is bold and nonsense, but after all, he is a eunuch, it is impossible to stand on his own, in this case, what else do you have to worry about? After Liaodong was pacified, an edict recruited him into Beijing, what other storms could he raise?

Thinking of this, Wanli approved the word "quasi" on Ye Xun's secret music.

Wanli immediately picked up Yuan Yingtai's share of the recital, frowned and looked at it, then snorted coldly, and said: "Old treacherous and cunning, you go and tell him, don't be in a hurry to get rid of it, just take care of what he should do, I am not in the mood to deal with him."

But it turned out that Yuan Yingtai impeached Ye Xun for privately transferring troops and twisted his slightly empty performance.

In addition to the two items of suing Ye Xun, there is nothing else substantial.

The dignified strategy, the court handed over the entire Liaodong to you, but you can't fight a eunuch, and you are embarrassed to sue and not punish him, which is already very face-saving for him.

Wanli knows very well that the reason why Yuan Yingtai went on this trick was actually to understand that he was supporting Ye Xun behind his back, so he first said the ugly words in front, in case Ye Xun had a problem that day, don't say that you didn't tell you.

To be honest, Wanli was really disappointed in these civil officials, and he knew the calculation all day long, if he could put all his mind into how to serve the court, it is estimated that Jiannu would have been destroyed long ago.

Sending Fang Congzhe away, Wanli just wanted to get up, but suddenly felt dizzy, and sat down again.

The little eunuch who was waiting on the side hurriedly came over to support Wanli.

Recently, Wanli often has this situation, and asked the imperial doctor, but the imperial doctor said that Wanli was too tired and should rest more.

In fact, Wanli is overworked, it should be said that it is overworked, the government does not care, what are you doing idle all day?

After sitting quietly for a while, feeling better, he turned his head to look at the little eunuch waiting beside him, and suddenly said, "Mu Zheng, what is your greatest wish?" ”

Mu Zheng was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "What wish does a slave have, waiting for His Majesty every day is the greatest wish of a slave."

"Cunning, I ask you what your greatest wish is usually?"

Seeing that the emperor was really coming, Mu Zheng tilted his head and thought about it, and said with a smile: "There are silver flowers, and there are delicious foods every day, hehe!" The minion didn't show up, so His Majesty smiled."

Wanli likes this little eunuch very much, he doesn't have so much scheming, and silently mutters the sentence Mu Zheng just said in his heart, "There are silver flowers, there are delicious things every day, Xiaoyezi, what is your greatest wish?" ”

After thinking for a while, Wanli was a little interested, and as his physical condition became more and more obvious recently, the question of his successor had to be put on the table again.

To tell the truth, how does Wanli see how his eldest son is not pleasing to the eye, but now that the title of the prince has been decided, it is no longer good to change it without authorization, and those old and immortal people in the court must also follow the order of what is old and young, otherwise he would have let King Fu take the throne.

Thinking of this, a terrible thought suddenly popped up in Wanli's mind, if King Fu had a strong arm by his side, would it push King Fu to the throne?

As soon as this thought came out, Wanli himself was a little scared, this is his own country, although he doesn't like his eldest son, he can't let his brothers kill each other!

Once something sprouts in the heart, it will grow irrepressibly wildly.

Wanli's eccentric eyes are extremely rare among the emperors of previous dynasties, and so far, the crown prince Zhu Changluo can only shrink in the palace and count ants to play, to put it mildly, he doesn't even have a decent clothes, let alone any other treatment.

Look at the blessed king Zhu Changxun again, what do you really want, not only has an incomparable honor, but also all the love of his parents.

So no matter how you look at Wanli, he looks like a stepfather, and it is also possible that Zhu Changluo was given away by Wanli to charge the phone bill.

After pondering for a long time, Wanli ordered Mu Zheng to grind, and then wrote an inexplicable letter to his son Zhu Changxun, to the effect that he should contact Yunyun more with meritorious people like Ye Xun.

After writing and sealing, he immediately ordered Mu Zheng to send it to Xu Xianchun, of course, such a private message cannot go through formal channels.

Looking at Mu Zheng's distant back, Wanli muttered: "Wu'er, my father can only help you get here, how far you can do it, it can only depend on your creation..."

Ye Xun didn't know that he had been unknowingly involved in the dispute for the crown prince, but this time Wanli was destined to be a mistake, not to mention that Ye Xun didn't know, even if he knew, he would never support King Fu.

The Ming Dynasty ministers value the order of the elders and the young the most, if Ye Xun rashly participates, it is equivalent to being the enemy of all the Ming officials, so Ye Xun will not do such a stupid thing.

Ye Xun is very busy, although he has always been busy, but this time is different from the past, he is busy fooling the people of Yehe City to the place of the Han people.

Liaodong is too big, not to mention the endless fields, there are countless treasures waiting to be discovered between the white mountains and black waters.

After several wars, the people in many places in eastern Liaodong were taken captive to places controlled by the Jurchens, and Ye Xun had to use some means to fill the gaps in these places...
