"Yuan Gong doesn't have to be polite."

On the Dengzhou wharf, Zhu Youzhen grabbed a few steps and helped Yuan Keli up.

The person in front of him is the famous Yuan Keli?

Zhu Youzhen looked up and down carefully at the old man in front of him.

With a thin figure, a gray beard, slightly swollen cyan eye bags, dense eye lines, and dotted old age spots, Yuan Keli's aging image is beyond Zhu Youzhen's imagination.

Is this Yuan Keli much older than Xu Guangqi?

After a little trance, Zhu Youzhen noticed Yuan Keli's dress.

Dressed outside the Tsing Yi staff, except for a few inconspicuous entourages who came to greet him, Yuan Keli didn't even bring a single subordinate. opened his mouth and called himself "old man", Yuan Keli clearly greeted him in a private capacity.

Yuan Keli is afraid of my identity as a vassal king, right?

Zhu Youzhen sighed with a wry smile in his heart. With his status as a vassal king, serious civil officials everywhere are afraid that they will not greet him as an official.

Behind him, Gao Qiqian and Chu Tianxing, who followed Zhu Youzhen to get off the boat, looked at Yuan Keli's dress and self-proclaimed face became difficult to look at.

It doesn't matter what capacity he came, it would be nice if he could come to greet him. This Wenchen always thinks much more than those military ministers.

After thinking about it, Zhu Youzhen was quickly relieved.

Zhu Youzhen was not disgusted at all by Yuan Keli coming in a private capacity and calling himself an "old man". Rather than those formal etiquette, Zhu Youzhen prefers this kind of informal interaction. Just like the self-proclaimed "old man", Zhu Youzhen feels that it is more pleasant to listen to than those lowly positions, subordinates, and young generals.

Seeing the living Yuan Keli standing in front of him, thinking that history could be changed, Zhu Youzhen became in a good mood.

If you're in a good mood, you'll be fine. Even on this drizzly day, Zhu Youzhen felt extremely cute.

"Yuan Gong is old this year? Your body doesn't look good, does it?

Before leaving Beijing, the imperial brother repeatedly advised: Yuan Gong is a humerus veteran, you must pay more attention to your body.

Yuan Gong, no matter how busy you are with this government affairs, you must also take care of your health. ”

Without waiting for Yuan Keli to speak, Zhu Youzhen said a lot about what he cared about.

Zhu Youzhen really didn't want anything wrong with Yuan Keli's body. There are too few ministers like him who do not fight factions and only do practical things.

Hearing Zhu Youjian greet his body when he came up, Yuan Keli couldn't help but be stunned.

Yuan Keli's current physical condition is indeed not very good, he is indeed too tired.

There is no way, as the governor of Denglai who is in charge, Yuan Keli has too many things to deal with.

The Denglai area and Houjin face each other across the sea, and according to the regulations of the imperial court, Mao Wenlong of Dongjiang, Shen Yourong of Guangludao and Zhang Pan of Lushun are all under the control of Yuan Keli. This made Yuan Keli have to deal with military issues against Houjin in addition to the civil affairs in the Denglai area.

It is not an easy task to cross the sea to support the food and salary of the three places on the Dongjiang River, and also to sort out the relationship between the three parties, so that the three armies can effectively form a joint force and jointly drag down the hind legs of Houjin.

What's more, there is also a thorny head Mao Wenlong in the three roads, which will always cause some extra trouble, and it will consume a considerable amount of Yuan Keli's energy.

During this time, Shen Yourong and Mao Wenlong successively reported the news that the Dongjiang Army and the Houjin Army had officially started a war, and Yuan Keli was so busy that he couldn't even sleep well. When Lushun also came to the news of the confrontation with Houjin, Yuan Keli had almost no time to rest.

Yuan Keli prepared food and ordnance, dispatched the Denglai Navy to prepare for cross-sea assistance to Dongjiang and Lushun to resist Jin, and at the same time sent people to urgently report to the capital and Ningyuan to ask for reinforcements.

Yuan Keli hoped that Ning Yuanming's army could march east to attack Houjin and relieve the pressure on Dongjiang and Lushun. But until today, the reinforcements of the Denglai Navy are ready to set off, and Yuan Keli has not received the news of Ning Yuanming's attack. This made Yuan Keli feel very disappointed.

If Ning Yuan's Ming army did not attack, then the pressure on Houjin would be all on Dongjiang and Lushun. Once the two places are lost, Houjin will no longer have to worry about the future.

Relieved of his worries, Houjin could concentrate all his strength to attack Ningyuan again. At that time, even if the Ming army can still keep Ningyuan, the Ming will completely lose the threat to the hinterland of Houjin.

The worry about the war situation in Liaodong made Yuan Keli unable to eat well and sleep for several days. With such a routine, how can Yuan Keli's 60-year-old body not look abnormally old.

Zhu Youzhen's unusually warm greeting made Yuan Keli frown.

When I saw him, I kept greeting me about my physical condition. Although he repeatedly emphasized that it was His Majesty's order, did he really care about my body, or was he dissatisfied with me?

Yuan Keli looked at Zhu Youzhen, who was smiling and looking extremely enthusiastic, and muttered in his heart.

It's no wonder that Yuan Keli thinks about it a lot, he greets his physical condition when he meets him, but only old friends who have achieved good family relations will do this.

Are King Xin and Yuan Keli old friends?

Of course not.

King Xin and Yuan Keli met for the first time.

King Xin's urgent questioning must have a deep meaning.

Could it be that His Majesty has the intention to replace him?

Yuan Keli couldn't help but think wildly in his heart.

Yuan Keli knew that several imperial histories in Beijing looked at him unpleasantly, and they had been looking for various excuses to impeach him. His position as governor of Denglai was not very stable. If it weren't for the fact that the treasure ship he supervised was approved by the emperor, he might have been transferred out of Denglai long ago.

Now that the new ship "Victory" cannot be built, is it that the emperor is also dissatisfied with him?

Thinking of the new ship "Victory", Yuan Keli sighed secretly in his heart.

The new ship was called "Victory". Just by rushing to this name, you can know how much hope the emperor has placed on this ship. As soon as he reported that the Victory could not be built, the Emperor immediately sent King Shin down to inspect it. The emperor was clearly dissatisfied with him.

Thinking of this, Yuan Keli felt that his future was a little bleak.

"Don't hide it from Your Highness, the old man is really not in good spirits these days. But on the side of Dongjiang and Lushun, our army and the Houjin Tartars were fighting fiercely. How can the old man have time to rest now! ”

Looking at Zhu Youzhen's face full of concern, Yuan Keli replied with a wry smile.

"Oh, Lone almost forgot about it. Yuan Gong, please wait a moment. ”

Hearing Yuan Keli mention the battle in Dongjiang Lushun, Zhu Youzhen's face showed a little embarrassment.

Zhu Youzhen turned his head and whispered a few words to Chu Tianxing, and Chu Tianxing turned around and ran back to the boat quickly.

"Since Yuan Gong is working hard for the Dongjiang War, then you can rest assured that you will be able to recuperate immediately." Looking at Yuan Keli's somewhat haggard face, Zhu Youzhen said with a smile on his face and concern.

Do you want me to cultivate my body?

Staring at Zhu Youzhen's overly young face, Yuan Keli couldn't help but feel a little angry in his heart.

He was a decent governor of Denglai. Even if the imperial court wanted to remove him from the post of governor of Denglai, he would have to issue an edict so that he could be prepared for a proper handover.

As a vassal king, this king of faith went out of Beijing with a central decree, and wanted to take away his position as governor of Denglai. Such a chaotic life, he Yuan Keli would never accept it.

The figure took a few steps back, and Yuan Keli was ready not to obey the order and angrily reprimand the vassal king.
