"The old man knows that he is ashamed of the court, and he just wants to do a little more for Liaodong before the will of the court arrives" Xiong Tingbi sat not far from Wang Qi's desk, the original Zhu Zi's robe had not been changed for many days, and it had already shown a gray and simple color.

"The talent of the lord, the imperial court should know, staying in Liaodong, maybe it is beneficial to Liao, it is not impossible, now the battle situation is stalemate, Houjin has no momentum to continue the offensive, we will at least hold the current line of defense, so as not to retreat to Shanhaiguan, at this time, it is really necessary for Lord Xiong to sit in charge as a strategy." Wang Qi leaned back in his chair and smiled.

Taking the initiative in dialogue is a must for a mature politician.

What's more, in Wang Qi's hands, Xiong Tingbi's fate for the next few decades is in his hands.

"The old man is here today to thank the Marquis of Dingyuan for this kindness!" Xiong Tingbi hurriedly got up when he heard this, and bowed again: "Dingyuan Hou Xiong's kindness is unforgettable, from now on, Gan is driven, Xiong someone will never say anything!" ”

On the first day of Wang Qi's arrival in Ningyuan City, he had already begun to write a letter to the imperial court.

First of all, he reported on the actual situation and the predicament faced by Liaodong.

Secondly, he explained his follow-up plan and layout to the imperial court, hoping to get the support of the imperial court.

In the end, he asked the imperial court to leave Xiong Tingbi in Liaodong and continue to preside over the overall situation as a guilty person.

Why did Wang Qi do this?

Xiong Tingbi didn't know.

But this great grace is already a reinvention of grace.

If Xiong Tingbi is recalled by the court now, except to apologize for his crime with death, this prime minister who went to Liao for the second time can't think of any other ending.

"Lord Xiong doesn't have to be like this, after all, the Liaodong predicament is not a one-person one-time time, the court and the Liaodong local game for decades, at the beginning Li Chengliang was powerful, able to suppress the old slave, after Li Chengliang was old and faint, the court intended to reduce its power, so that the old slave took the opportunity to rise for decades, pile by pile, who can say, the rise of the old slave, behind the court without the impetus of the court? But who would dare to accuse the court? Wang Qi smiled.

After all, the monarch's father is not at fault, and the scholars and doctors above the court can't slap themselves in the face. Three glasses of wine were punished by each other, and in the end, it was necessary to find a scapegoat in the local area.

"Antecedents create consequences, but now is not the time to regret," Wang Qi pushed the letter on the table over: "The old slave is obviously unwilling to spit out the results of the battle in his mouth again this time, and the intention of consolidating the Liaohe Guangning line is very obvious, if we stick to the Ningyuan line, we are sitting in a predicament, if we want to give the court an explanation, we can't sit still!" ”

Xiong Tingbi looked at the letter on the table: the wax seal is complete, signed by Wang Qi, the general soldier of Liaodong, but there is still an empty seat next to it.

This is

Do you want to sign it yourself?

"What does Dingyuan Marquis mean?" Xiong Tingbi looked at the letter on the table, his face puzzled.

"Lord Xiong still has some classmates and friends in the court, right?" Wang Qi said with a smile: "The frontier incident, the most taboo is the finger painting of the imperial court, whether Lord Xiong's old friend in the imperial court borrowed it and fully supported my policy of leveling slaves." ”

Borrowing?

Xiong Tingbi was stunned,

Wrong

Wang Qi is asking himself to surrender his name!

Wang Qi's move was to let Xiong Tingbi openly stand on his side from now on, borrow his identity as a strategy, and compete with those ministers in the court.

After all, the identity of a military general is too sensitive, which will affect the nerves of the government and the opposition, and Xiong Tingbi is used as a buffer, which is more acceptable.

Moreover, Wang Qi is equivalent to using Xiong Tingbi as a shield, the tree is between himself and the court, even if Donglin wants to bite Wang Qi a few bites, he must first bring down Xiong Tingbi.

Thinking of this, Xiong Tingbi, as an old minister, looked at Wang Qi who was sitting behind the table, even if he was deeply uneasy, he had to praise at this moment: Dingyuan Hou has good means!

But do you have a choice?

Xiong Tingbi asked himself, when he retreated to Ningyuan City, and Wang Qi crossed the Shanhaiguan Pass and arrived at the city gate, he wanted to live, and there was no other way than to cooperate with Wang Qi.

"The old man is willing to sign it!" Xiong Tingbi exhaled deeply and took two steps forward.

Hold the pen, lean over, dip in ink, tick the name!

"Marquis Dingyuan, please take a look!"

Wang Qi smiled at the corner of his mouth.

This is the real vote!

"Lord Jinglu doesn't have to be anxious, if Liaodong is pacified, you will be the first credit! The court matter, it doesn't matter," Wang Qi took the letter paper and looked at Xiong Tingbi with a helpless expression.

"If Liaodong is peaceful." Xiong Tingbi smiled bitterly and muttered: "The old man unloaded his armor and returned to the field, built his own grass house, and didn't ask about the world." ”

"Lord Jinglu, why are you so disheartened?" Wang Qi smiled at the corner of his eyes: "If you level Liaodong with the position of economic strategy, after returning to Beijing, what will happen, you will also enter the cabinet, and be a bachelor of the two palaces, and be the position of the ruler?" ”

"This," Xiong Tingbi was a little excited, and shook his head with a wry smile: "What the Marquis of Dingyuan said, but the old man couldn't say it. ”

After a while, Xiong Tingbi, who was full of hesitation and a little concerned for a while, left.

Wang Qi didn't send it, but stood at the table and thought for a while before his eyes fell on a black envelope on the table.

Stretched out his hand to open it, and the signature was gilt ironed into four words: Jinyi Health Department!

Lu Enguang is gone, but the forces of Liaodong Jinyiwei are still there, and now it seems that they are all owned by Wang Qi.

Three days ago, Qin Erbao had already taken over the position of commander of Jinyiwei.

In addition to being greedy for life and afraid of death, greedy for money and lustful, Jin Yiwei commanded Lu Enguang to be in Liaodong for several years, which seems to be fruitful.

In the past few days, from the case of Jinyiwei, Wang Qi has found a lot of old files

How did Li Chengliang rise in Liaodong, how Gao Huai united with Li Chengliang as a mere eunuch to suppress the generals of Liaodong, and how did the old slave rise between the white mountains and black waters, how to attack Haixi, the savage Jurchen tribe, and how to rise the power in his hands from scratch and rise very quickly.

The most important thing is that Wang Qi found a series of actions in Shenyang City that seemed to have early signs three months ago, that is, when Wang Qi had just crossed over.

Huang Taiji personally brought people into Korea and cut off the trade route between Mao Wenlong and Korea.

Amin led troops into southern Liaoning and strengthened patrols against Gaizhou Wei and Fuzhou Wei, while threatening the sea passage between the Denglai area and the Ningyuan Corridor in eastern Liaoning.

Fan Wencheng led people to pretend to be North Korean wealthy businessmen and purchased sampans from Mao Wenlong, with nearly 100 boats.

The old slave sent a delegation to Horqin, and at that time he contacted Horqin Dabeile to facilitate a marriage.

At the same time, Li Yongfang was sent to contact Sun Degong

These news, in addition to making Wang Qi praise the old slave's planning and foresight, further, also confirmed one thing: Liaodong Jinyiwei is in Shenyang City, and the old slave has an extremely strict intelligence network.

This discovery is the key to Wang Qi's courage to use swords against the old slave.

"Lu Enguang?" Wang Qi stretched out his hand and closed the black booklet: "It's a good informant."
