Qianqing Palace Winter Warm Pavilion.

After the court discussion was over, Zhu Youxiao walked into the warm pavilion with a cold face and without saying a word, while Wei Zhongxian followed closely behind.

Outside the window, the snow is drifting, and the house is warm and warm like spring.

In the warm pavilion, except for the celebrant and the king of the palace, the rest of the palace maids and eunuchs who were waiting for them all retreated to the side, far away, it is best to be a transparent person at this time, otherwise let the emperor spread his anger on himself, it would be a disaster.

"Your Majesty, I just came here with the Holy Lady," at this time, Wang Tiqian made a look, and the four palace maids on the side dared to step forward to change clothes for the emperor, take off their heavy crown clothes, and put on brocade casual clothes that fit more cotton wool, and two eunuchs on one side, one of them on the left hand holding a dragon jade carving in the palm of the furnace, the furnace wall is warm for the emperor to warm his hands, and the one on the right is holding a fruit plate and pastries, bowing high and holding it above his head, so that the emperor can enjoy it at any time.

"What's the matter with the nurse?" Although Zhu Youxiao was in a bad mood, his face softened slightly when he heard that Mrs. Fengsheng had come.

"Madame just chatted with the maids, heard about the great victory in Liaodong, so she cooked herself, made a few side dishes, when she came over, it was the royal meeting between His Majesty and several cabinet ministers, it was inconvenient to disturb, and left first," Wang Tiqian raised his head and saw Zhu Youxiao's eyes fall on the pastry, and then looked at himself.

"Your Majesty, look at the memory of the slave, I almost forgot, and the queen mother has also come and prepared a few of your favorite pastries for Your Majesty......" Wang Tiqian really wanted to slap himself a few times, did he need to be so smart?

"Put it down, I don't have an appetite now," Zhu Youxiao waved his hand: "Wei Zhongxian stays, and the rest of the people retreat!" ”

"The minions are gone!" Wang Tiqian bowed, and then hurriedly walked two steps, beckoning a few palace maids and eunuchs who were waiting in the Qianqing Palace to leave quickly: "Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up!" ”

Not long after, in the huge Winter Warm Pavilion of the Qianqing Palace, there were only Zhu Youxiao who was sitting by the window, and Wei Zhongxian, who was bowing down and obeying orders not far behind him.

Looking at the goose feathers and heavy snow outside the window, Zhu Youxiao, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke: "Big companion, you say...... Can the hundred households in Liaodong, Wang Qi, be used by me? ”

"As long as the emperor wants to, anyone in the world can be used by His Majesty," Wei Zhongxian looked up at Zhu Youxiao's back, and his tone was sincere.

"Heh......" Zhu Youxiao did not have any pleasure because of this flattering sentence: "The cabinet ministers, the six books, the Inspectorate, the Dali Temple, the General Administration Office, the government and the military equipment, which one is a fuel-efficient lamp?" ”

"Your Majesty has only been practicing for two years, and Liaodong will have a great victory that has not been seen for decades, this is God's blessing, and over time, the entire court will definitely be used by Your Majesty!" Wei Zhongxian's tone became more and more humble.

"The celebrant needs to act as soon as possible! Can't let the Donglin Party cover the sky with one hand, there are six scholars in the cabinet, Donglin accounts for three, six Shangshu, and the cabinet accounts for four, and if it goes on like this, the entire court will be their word! Zhu Youxiao turned around and stared at Wei Zhongxian: "Do you understand?" ”

"Slaves obey the Sacred Commandment!" Wei Zhongxian fell to his knees with a thud.

"Let's talk about Wang Qi, if this person can be used by me, then I can get a glimpse of Liaodong affairs, if he is really talented, then I will act in the future, and I will no longer have to be constrained by the court and the courts!" Zhu Youxiao patted the bronze pillar in the hall with his hand, and exhaled lightly: "You are in charge of the Jinyi Guard, is there any news from Liaodong?" ”

At present, although Zhu Youxiao is the emperor, any action he takes must be approved by the cabinet before he can be carried out.

It can be seen from the fact that Mrs. Fengsheng left the palace, His Majesty the Emperor, the king of a country, wanted to let his nurse stay in the palace, and he had to play some clever tricks and repeatedly pull with the hundred officials.

As for the Liaodong affair, over the past few years, the principals of Liaodong have changed from Yang Hao to Yuan Yingtai, to Xue Guoyong, to Wang Zaijin, and finally Wang Huazhen and Xiong Tingbi......

If we want to analyze it carefully, we can conclude that which party of Donglin, Chu Party, Zhejiang Party, and Qi Party is powerful in the imperial court, who can send its cadres to serve as the governor of Liaodong and pass through the localities.

Is there a hint of holy intent in it?

"Your Majesty," Wei Zhongxian took two steps forward and handed over a letter with both hands: "This is played by Lu Enguang, the commander of the Liaodong Jinyi Guard, who arrived at the celebrant early this morning, and the servant was in a hurry, and the servant failed to report to His Majesty. ”

"Oh!" Zhu Youxiao turned around when he heard this, and looked at the letter paper in Wei Zhongxian's hand: "Liaodong Jinyi Guard commanding the affairs?" ”

"Last year, in the name of supervising armaments, Lu Enguang went to Liao with Xiong Tingbi to take office," Wei Zhongxian knew everything about the celebrant and supervisor.

When Wei Zhongxian spoke, Zhu Youxiao had already opened the letter: "Minister Lu Enguang respectfully plays Your Majesty...... According to the minister's investigation, Wang Qi's parents died early, his uncle Wang Huazhen looked at his temperament, and did not teach him the road of the imperial examination, so he had little to do with the Donglin party, and he was accompanied by a personal guard on weekdays, and his people were brave and ruthless, often showing people in the Yanya, and he liked to ride and shoot safaris, and the battle of Zhenwubao was the first time to show the talent of command, and the ministers were quite talented, and they had the emperor's grace...... If you are a little enveloped and give favors, you will be more controllable than your ministers! ”

"Otomo, what do you think?" After a while, Zhu Youxiao put away the notebook and put his hands behind his back, as if thinking about something.

"The minister thinks that the time to win people's hearts is the grace of knowing at the end of the year," Wei Zhongxian followed Zhu Youxiao's footsteps, and said step by step: "The current Wang Qi has not grown up, if His Majesty directly influences him through Jinyiwei, it will be better controlled, and at the same time, he can give his parents a posthumous favor, and Wang Huazhen's punishment for the crime of misuse this time can also be pardoned in the name of Wang Qi." Let him know that the grace of heaven lies in His Majesty, not in the court. ”

"Hmm......" Zhu Youxiao nodded slightly, and then said: "I just heard from you that Wang Huazhen once wanted to marry Ye Xianggao?" ”

"According to the Jinyi Wei report, there is indeed such a thing."

"Why didn't you make the trip?" Zhu Youxiao asked.

"Hehe," Wei Zhongxian smiled and replied: "Ye Shoufu feels that he is a big family, and Wang Qi is just a gentleman, not worthy of his own precious granddaughter." ”

"And what if I give him a marriage?" Zhu Youxiao turned his head and wanted to envelop the eastern Liaodong generals in a more direct way.

For some reason, Zhu Youxiao admired Wang Qi very much, and intuitively told himself that whether the Ming Dynasty was stable or not in the future, this small Baihu official played a pivotal role.

"Huh?" Wei Zhongxian was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously asked, "Which young lady does Your Majesty want to give to Wang Baihu?" ”

"My imperial sister, Princess Ningde, Zhu Huiyan." Looking at the snow flying outside the window, Zhu Youxiao's expression was extremely determined.
