Chapter Eighty-Three: The Monarch Asks the Right Question

Not long after, the Emperor of the Apocalypse, accompanied by Wei Zhongxian, left the main hall.

And when the courtiers had gotten up, most of them departed.

Han Yi and Sun Chengzong walked together, and Hui Shiyang and the others looked in Yang Lian's direction and left slowly. The head of the cabinet, Ye Xiang, seemed to have muttered a few words, and left the hall alone.

After a while, only two people were left in the hall.

At this time, Yang Lian and Wang Qi were extremely close.

The sweeping eunuchs of the Jianji Hall were also far away from here, so as to avoid hearing the conversation between the two adults

In the hall, Yang Lian stared at Wang Qi for a few moments, and then said slowly: "At that time, when I heard your name Wang Qi for the first time, some people said that you were known to show people in the Yanei, and the old man also agreed with it at the beginning, and the old man thought that although the Yanai was domineering, but in the court, when he saw Zhu Zi of the Manchu Dynasty, he would still have respect and converge one or two. ”

"Yang Yushi has a new insight?" Wang Qi didn't leave, just quietly waited for Yang Lian to do anything.

Yang Lian's two thick eyebrows twitched, and he sneered: "Wearing the skin of the Yanei, the background is still a traitorous male. ”

"In the hearts of you and other ministers, after we wait for the generals to gain power, they will support the army and respect themselves, save the place, coerce the court, and then cause trouble in the world," Wang Qi shrugged his shoulders and said casually: "Then please wait and see." ”

"Whether you are a traitor or not, it's not up to you to have the final say," after the debate, Yang Lian seemed to have an inexplicable patience with Wang Qi, and continued to explain: "To say something inappropriate, Song Zu Zhao Da was also startled in a dream, so he was added to the yellow robe. ”

"Nonsense," Yang Lian's prejudice against Wuchen in his heart was already deep-rooted, and it couldn't be easier, Wang Qi didn't want to waste time here, so he turned around and left directly.

"Wang Qi, if one day, you have a strong army and shock the frontier," Yang Lian looked at Wang Qi's back, still looking at himself: "I hope you can remember everything you said in the court today!" ”

After a while, Wang Qi's figure was far away, and Yang Lian didn't know if Wang Qi had heard his words, but a sense of gloom had already appeared on the face of the old minister.

Call!!!

Yang Lian hammered his back, and the old man had to admit defeat, and Wang Qi's figure in the court made Yang Lian feel a deep sense of powerlessness: The old man will wait and see!

On the other side, Wang Qi had already walked slowly across the right arch bridge of Jinshui Bridge with his hands behind his back, heading towards the Donghua Gate Wall Road.

With his head down, Wang Qi thought about his next plan as he walked.

Today's Pingliao plan was originally to wait at least three years later, when Liaodong has settled down, before it can be implemented, but due to the matter of his uncle Wang Huazhen, Wang Qi had to be entrusted in advance to disrupt Donglin's plan.

But this also made Wang Qi have to hurry up and plan deeply.

Pingliao is indeed not simply one or two wars, nor is it a competition of comprehensive strength.

"Lord Commander, please stay," not far behind Wang Qi, a light call suddenly came, still referring to Wang Qi's new chief soldier officer.

Looking back, Wang Qi saw Wei Zhongxian with a wrinkled face.

"Father-in-law Wei, is there something?" Wang Qi looked at the rapidly rising Inner Palace Dajue.

Relying on Zhu Youxiao's plan to balance the court and suppress civil officials, with the acquiescence of the emperor, Wei Zhongxian's power has continuously penetrated into all aspects of the entire Ming Dynasty.

"Your Majesty, please come over," Wei Zhongxian smiled and added kindly: "It's still the three-year Pingliao that you proposed in the court. His Majesty is a little restless, and wants to summon you over for questioning. ”

"Tired father-in-law to lead the way," Wang Qi nodded.

Following behind Wei Zhongxian, Wang Qi slowly walked towards the East Pavilion in the direction of the Inner Palace.

"Lord Wang has made a lot of meritorious contributions in Liaodong, and he has also set off a lot of discussions in the capital," Wei Zhongxian took the opportunity to talk with Wang Qi while walking in front: "The emperor is very happy, and the old slave has not seen His Majesty value a person so much for a long time." ”

"It's all a blessing from the emperor," Wang Qi was two steps away from Wei Zhongxian, and his tone was light.

Perhaps because he felt that Wang Qi did not have the desire to have a deep conversation with him, Wei Zhongxian closed his mouth at the right time, just lowered his head and led the way.

Not long after, in the East Pavilion, Wang Qi saw Zhu Youxiao, who looked uneasy and was walking back and forth.

"Your Majesty, General Wang has arrived," Wei Zhongxian respectfully stepped forward to report.

"You guys go down, I and Wang Aiqing will talk alone," Zhu Youxiao waved his hand and sent the palace maid and the eunuch who were waiting.

"You can go down too," Seeing that Wei Zhongxian didn't move, Zhu Youxiao pointed outside the pavilion again.

"Slaves obey!" Wei Zhongxian licked his face and smiled, bowed his body, slowly retreated, and when he passed by Wang Qi, his small eyes glanced at it quickly, and the meaning was difficult to understand.

After a short time, only Wang Qi and Zhu Youxiao were left in the East Pavilion.

"Sit down," Zhu Youxiao pointed to the round stool on the side, and ordered the pastries and snacks on the table: "If you want to eat, you can do it yourself." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty," Wang Qi was not polite, lifted the hem of his robe, sat down gently, and at the same time picked up a piece of tea crisp on the table, filled it in his mouth and ate it.

"What you said in the palace, three years of Pingliao," Zhu Youxiao didn't do any foreshadowing, and came up and got straight to the point: "Is it a temporary idea, or has it been planned for a long time?" ”

"Say a word of comfort to Your Majesty," Wang Qi wiped the puff pastry residue in his hand, and his tone was flat: "Three years of Pingliao, it's not impossible!" ”

"And what if you don't be relieved?" Zhu Youxiao didn't have any joy on his face.

"Judging from the situation in which the Ming Dynasty is now struggling with each other and leaking from all sides, it will not be able to calm Liao in thirty years!" Wang Qi said a simple nonsense.

Zhu Youxiao also narrowed his eyes, as if to say: Are you kidding me?

"I'm not joking!" Zhu corrected the color channel.

"What I need is the unreserved support of the imperial court, and at the same time, the imperial court must also ensure Shandong's logistical support for Liaodong!" Wang Qi looked at Zhu Youxiao, his expression had become firm and confident: "If you can, within three years, Houjin will be extinguished!" ”

"What do you mean by unreserved support?" Zhu Youxiao asked.

He is no longer the emperor who first ascended to the throne two years ago, and he usually believes one point in the words of his courtiers, four points in doubt, and listens to the remaining five points in reverse.

"Don't urge, don't ask, don't be biased, don't doubt."

Of course, there is another sentence, Wang Qi did not say: When the court is a minister, whoever slanders, who goes to Liao!

This sentence offended the world's scholars too much, Wang Qi felt that the time had not yet come, so it was better to keep it for later.

"Money, food, population, soldiers, weapons," Zhu Youxiao snapped his fingers: "You don't ask for it?" ”

"What the court doesn't have, I won't ask for it, as for what His Majesty said, as long as I am given time, don't urge, don't ask, don't believe partially, don't doubt, do the above four points, the minister himself can raise it!"

Looking at Wang Qi's young face, Zhu Youxiao felt a natural sense of trust.
