Wang Qi's slashing of the deputy envoy at Shanhaiguan and the preparation of troops for He Tianyou had spread throughout the capital before his arrival.

The Duke of Langguo of the Ming Dynasty seemed to naturally carry the bloody wind of Liaodong, crossed the Shanhaiguan Pass, and came to the already treacherous court, almost everyone could foresee that Wang Qi's arrival would inevitably cause huge waves in the court.

Everyone is waiting to see what happens.

Wang Qi's escort battalion arrived at Yongpingwei.

The chief military officer of the Ming Dynasty crossed the Jizhou Mansion.

Daming Wuqu is about to arrive in Tongzhou Daying.

Langguo Gong to Chaoyang Gate in the capital!

Almost three times a day, the capital, the palace, and the various departments and yamen were all paying attention to Wang Qi's arrival.

Originally, Zhu Youxiao personally proposed to open the Desheng Gate in the early dynasty, and he personally led the honor guard of 100 officials out of the city to welcome Wang Qi back to Beijing, but was persuaded by Han Yi and others, and said that although Wang Qi was the first to win the victory in Liaodong, the entire Liaodong officials also took credit, and now Wang Qi returned to Beijing to open the Desheng Gate and 100 officials greeted him, so where did the others be? Xiong Tingbi and others will return to Beijing when the time comes, do they want to open Desheng Gate again? How can there be a reason for one merit to receive two seals?

On the other hand, the news that Wang Qi directly killed the deputy envoy of the inspection at Shanhaiguan also made the Emperor of the Apocalypse silent for almost a stick of incense.

After that, Zhu Youxiao also got off the donkey down the slope and did not mention the matter again, and finally the imperial court decided to let the celebrant and the Yamen of the Ministry of Rites send people to Chaoyangmen to welcome Wang Qi to Beijing.

In any case, everyone understands that even if Wang Qi's merit is higher than the sky, even though he is already the first person in the Ming Dynasty to help the sky in more than a hundred years, sometimes the credit is too great, and it is not a good thing, which directly makes the emperor jealous, so that he begins to change his mind and begin to support the Donglin Party members from the new.

In the second year of the Great Tomorrow Apocalypse, on the first day of July, Wang Qi, the Duke of Langguo, finally arrived in Beijing.

The emperor himself did not appear after all.

However, the imperial court still gave this Langguo Duke a very high courtesy: Sun Chengzong, the secretary of the Ministry of War, Liu Zongzhou, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and Wei Zhongxian, the chief of ceremonies, went out of the city for ten miles to welcome the Duke of Langguo back to Beijing.

"Xiaguan and others welcome Lang Guogong back to Beijing! The saint gave a python robe and jade belt, jade horse green beads, brocade silk and yellow weaving, and royal wine! Catch the wind and wash the dust for the grandfather of the country! ”

Sun Chengzong, Liu Zongzhou, and Wei Zhongxian stood side by side and bowed to Wang Qi, who was riding a horse for more than ten paces.

Behind the three of them are the python robe and jade belt given by the emperor, the honor guard and sedan chair and other things.

Farther away, there were the people and scholars who had come to watch.

Wang Qi is now famous, no matter who he is, he wants to see this young and weak crown grandfather.

"Don't look at the emperor now, if there is something in the court in the future, the only one who can rely on this master is the emperor." The onlookers were all talking.

"Is the frame behind the guard of honor the heads of the Houjin chieftain Nurhachi and Mang Gurtai on the carriage?" The onlookers had already seen the items on the frame behind the guards, and were discussing with great interest: "Count it up, the Great Khan of Houjin and Baylor are all lost in the hands of the Duke of Langguo, such a credit, if it is divided among three people, it is enough to be a marquis, and now it is gathered in one person, tsk, if it is a troubled world."

"Silence!" The accomplice was shocked when he heard this, and directly covered the young man's mouth behind him: "You can talk nonsense about this?" Gone. Troubled times are also the world of the Zhu family! ”

"That's not right!" The companion on the side frowned: "It seems that the master of ceremonies, the Great Jue Wang Tiqian, handed over the heads of Nurhachi and others, who else is there on the guard frame?" ”

"Well, I heard that a few days ago, in Yushanhaiguan, didn't Lang Guogong behead two people?"

"I heard that it was a soldier from the fourth grade, and he was directly angry on the spot by Wang Qi sacrificing to the sky and civilians."

"Hey, this grandfather is really fierce!"

One is a fourth-grade official in the court, and he will kill him when he says he will kill it.

You must know that there are less than 100 four-grade officials in the entire Ming Dynasty, counting the concurrent and dispatch, there are more than 70 people, and Wang Qi beheaded one at once, can the court stop there?

"I heard that Zuo Guangdou had already written yesterday, and he wanted the three divisions to interrogate Wang Qi! An official of the imperial court, no matter how guilty he is, is not something that Wang Qi can behead if he says that he can be killed, if this opening is opened, won't everyone be in danger in the future? In the end, he was stopped by others, Wang Qi's credit is too great, and he moves his whole body, the court here dares to take Wang Qi, so how will tens of thousands of soldiers and millions of people in Liaodong react? I can't think of that! ”

While the scholars and people were talking, Wang Qi had already turned over and dismounted, and Wei Zhongxian and the three of them also stepped forward.

"On behalf of the emperor, our family will toast a glass of wine to Grandpa Guo! In order to show the merit of Liaodong! Wei Zhongxian stepped forward, holding an almost overflowing wine, and held Wang Qi with both hands: "Respect to Grandpa Guo!" ”

With Wei Zhongxian's movements, Sun Chengzong on the side also bowed down again and saluted Wang Qi: "Respect to the Duke of Langguo." ”

Behind him, the guard of honor also bowed down: "Respect the grandfather of the country!" ”

"Thank you, two adults, thank you colleagues," Wang Qi took the wine glass, raised his head and drank it directly.

"Welcome to Langguo." Wei Zhongxian turned around and just opened his mouth to take Wang Qi into the city.

"Slow" Liu Zongzhou, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, who had never spoken, moved his footsteps and blocked in front of Wang Qi.

This sudden action surprised both Wei Zhongxian and Sun Chengzong.

Obviously, Liu Zongzhou did it on an improvised basis.

When Fang just toasted, only Liu Zongzhou did not make any moves, and now he entered the city and came out to stop him.

Almost instantly, the hands of more than 100 guards behind Wang Qi were all pressed on the hilt of the knife, and Wang Shouxin bowed slightly, ready to step forward at any time.

As long as you dare to be disrespectful to Wang Qi, it is not a big deal to shed blood in front of Chaoyangmen.

Wang Qi leaned slightly, looked at Liu Zongzhou, and said with a smile: "Lord Liu, something?" ”

"Before entering the city, the soldiers prepared the corpse of He Tianyou, and the official had to send someone to collect the burial." Liu Zongzhou almost suppressed his anger and did not attack, and said in a deep voice: "I killed the four members of the imperial court and did not send you to prison for a debate, it is already for the sake of your Liaodong military exploits, next time, I will not have such good luck!" ”

"You want to collect the corpse for He Tianyou?" Wang Qi asked rhetorically.

"The court officials, you can't be so undignified!" Liu Zongzhou's face darkened, and he didn't want to say anything more to Wang Qi.

"Decent," Wang Qi smiled: "The decency in Lord Liu's mouth, I don't know if the package does not include the countless displaced people who died." ”

"Lang Guogong, you can't say this to me," Liu Zongzhou looked at Wang Qi and said in a low voice: "Born as a military general, do you know what is called the world and the people?" ”

In the eyes of Liu Zongzhou and other literati, the world has always been ruled by scholars and the Son of Heaven, and Wang Qi, who was born as a martial artist? Even if you are a prince, there is nothing to respect.

"Lord Liu, you really deserve to die," Wang Qi looked at Liu Zongzhou, and a burst of laughter came out of his throat, as if he was angry and mocking.

"What?" Liu Zong didn't hear it clearly for a moment on Monday.

"Along the way, from Tongzhou, to Jizhou Mansion, to Yongpingwei, and finally to Shanhaiguan, countless refugees are waiting to be fed, countless hungry people are scattered, the civil and military officials of the Ming Dynasty sit in the capital and scold Fang Xuan to point out the country, dung and ten thousand households, really happy and chic, now, Lord Liu even has to collect the body of the person who dereliction of duty and perverted the law, are you his accomplice, or do you say that you have been high for a long time, and you can't see the Li people suffering outside Beijing? Can't see the hunger and cold of the millions of victims? Or are they not human beings in your eyes? ”

"You, you, you, you bloody mouth!" Liu Zongzhou didn't dare to take such a dirty hat that Wang Qi had buttoned up, and he didn't want to entangle with Wang Qi, so he waved his hand directly, commanded the guards behind him, and said, "Go and carry the corpse over!" ”

Scold!!!

Wang Shouxin was the leader, and more than 100 guards drew their swords at the same time in an instant.

In that formation, who dares to take a step forward, die!

"You Lang Guogong, do you dare to do it?" Liu Zongzhou didn't expect Wang Qi's reaction to be so violent, do you really not know that the emperor has begun to be jealous of you? Hundreds of people in Beijing City, who are watching, dare to use knives?

"This person is no different from the crimes committed by Houjin, he will be slaughtered if he is slaughtered, and the body will be collected and Gao Panlong will come by himself!" Wang Qi sneered and walked directly. Gao Panlong is a veteran of Donglin and He Tianyou's teacher, if he is involved at this time, then Wang Qi's plan is half successful.

At the same time, Wang Shouxin and others also collected their swords at the same time, and the guard of honor followed Wang Qi into the city.

Only the people and scholars outside the city who were shocked on the spot were left: Daming Wuqu is really ruthless.

Not long before inside the palace.

"Wang Qi wants to put He Tianyou's body with Jianzhou?" Zhu Youxiao put down the notebook and looked up at the little eunuch who came back to report.

"Lang Guogong said that if you want to retrieve the body, let Gao Panlong come by himself," the little eunuch was panting, and rode back to the palace from outside the city gate to deliver the news, which was really too far.

"Got it, let's go down," Zhu Youxiao waved his hand and lay back on the throne by himself, his breathing short and uneven.

After a short time, only Zhu Youxiao was left sitting alone in the hall.

With his eyes open, looking at the five-clawed carved dragon on the dome, Zhu Youxiao was physically and mentally exhausted.

As the emperor, he likes and wants to reuse Wang Qi, and he is also optimistic about this courtier.

But also as an emperor, in the face of such a high-ranking courtier, Alexander is required for anyone to come. Holding heavy troops, he has won the hearts of the people, and most importantly, he is younger than Zhu Youxiao himself, and his body is strong, normally, he must have obtained it longer than himself, throughout the ages, isn't this the standard configuration of the ministers?

Zhu Youxiao exhaled heavily: "It would be good if Wang Qi could rein in his edge, but with such a sharp edge, I can only use Donglin to balance it." ”

But the recent events made Zhu Youxiao feel a deep headache.

Wang Qi took advantage of the matter of the refugees in Shanhaiguan, and obviously wanted to attack Donglin.

As the emperor, who does Zhu Youxiao want to support?

"Come on, go and summon Ye Xianggao into the palace!"

In order to secure the position of the first assistant to the cabinet, Ye Xianggao has tried his best to dissociate himself from Donglin, and he has started to cooperate with Wang Qi openly and secretly.

Half an hour later, Ye Xianggao was neatly dressed and came to the side hall where Zhu Youxiao was: "Minister Ye Xianggao knocks to see Your Majesty!" ”

"Ye Aiqing get up," Zhu Youxiao gave the little eunuch a look and asked the little eunuch to give the cabinet a seat: "Lang Guogong returned to Beijing today, do you know?" ”

Zhu Youxiao went straight to the point when he met, without any bent ink.

"The minister heard about it," Ye Xianggao's face was extremely respectful.

"He beheaded He Tianyou, you know about it, right?" Zhu Youxiao pursed his lips, leaned on the throne and looked at Ye Xianggao: "Talk about your thoughts, don't say some useless words, there is something to say." ”

"Wang Qi is of great use in the imperial court and in Liaodong, and he can't be moved! Even if He Tianyou is beheaded, he can't be moved lightly, and Lang Guogong still has the name of righteousness! As soon as Ye Xianggao spoke, he set the tone.

In a word, Lang Guogong is of great use to the stability of the society, and it should not be moved.

"What about Donglin?" Zhu Youxiao asked.

"In terms of the court situation, you can't be biased," although Ye Xianggao is a party in Donglin, he has parted ways with Han Yi and others, and now when he speaks, he is completely from the perspective of the court situation, more objective: "Donglin checks and balances the ceremonial supervisor, the Zhejiang Party, the Chu Party, and in the eyes of the world's scholars and scholars, they also have an extremely important leading role, Your Majesty should be cautious." ”

Zhu Youxiao looked at Ye Xianggao speechlessly, and talked for a long time, talking about chickens and ducks.

"If Your Majesty wants to settle the dispute, you still need to start from the roots," Ye Xianggao hurriedly added, "We must also start with the current problem of refugees from Liaodong in Gyeonggi."

"Heh, how can this matter be so easy to solve? Xu Guangqi has been to Jizhou Mansion for a month, but there is no shortage of refugees, and there is a faint tendency to gather and flow to the south, can it be solved immediately when Wang Qi returns? Zhu Youxiao laughed angrily.

"You don't have to really solve it, let Lang Guogong assist Lord Xu in handling this matter, if he doesn't handle it properly, there is no way to continue to pursue the Donglin issue." Ye Xianggao turned over the two sides with his hands and added: "If it is done, it will be in the community." ”

Done?

Zhu Youxiao almost laughed out loud, if Wang Qi is allowed to finish this matter, you Ye Xianggao will abdicate and let Wang Qi enter the cabinet as the first assistant, right?

Ahem.

Zhu Youxiao sat up from the chair, rubbed his cheeks with his hands, and said vaguely: "You stand down first, Rong Zhen will think about it again." ”

"Wechen retires!" Ye Xianggao slowly got up, and then retreated from the hall.

The moment he took a step, the veteran Shoufu immediately straightened up, turned his steps, and walked quickly towards the outside of the palace.

Want to solve the Liaodong refugees in Gyeonggi?

It's not just about relying on Donglin or the imperial court! The point is that there is no food, no money!

Refugees are not animals that make you settle down in another place, and not having a way to live is still a big problem.

As for going back to Liaodong?

It's been a long journey, what's the way back?

"Although Lang Guogong is good at military affairs, he is still a little immature in political affairs, and he has made a great enemy for himself just after returning to Beijing, why bother? Is it bad to be a rich prince? Is it because he was transferred out of the Liaodong war situation and has fire in his heart? ”

Ye Xianggao walked towards the outside of the palace, thinking about whether to go to the Langguo Mansion at night to sit down.

Brothers, these two days have been a bit busy, Saturday and Sunday will be more!!
