Chapter 150: The White Lotus burns the city, and Maitreya descends

In the Wenhua Palace, several cabinet members have arrived.

Ye Xianggao, the first assistant of the cabinet, Sun Chengzong, the secretary of the Ministry of War, Zuo Guangdou, the secretary of the Ministry of Justice, Yang Lian, the imperial history of the left capital, and Liu Zongzhou of the Ministry of Rites.

Several Shangshu ministers who were in charge of most of the Ming Dynasty were frowning at the moment and did not say a word.

And Wei Zhongxian, the celebrant and the master of ceremonies, was smiling, and he almost couldn't help laughing: Han Yi is out of the horse, and in five days, the capital of Jizhou is about to be broken.

If this is spread out, public opinion in the world will be turbulent at that time, and Donglin will scold and talk about Sheji in his spare time, and he will fold his sleeves and frown when he encounters trouble.

It has always been possible to see the true chapter when encountering problems, but now it seems that even Han Yi, who has no local service experience, is a speech official, has lived in the capital for a long time, and suddenly went out to work, with more than 1,000 Beijing camps in his hands, in the face of tens of thousands of refugees, it is not bad to be able to hold on for five days.

The Emperor of the Apocalypse lowered his head and kept pacing in the hall, the music in his hand was beating on the palm of his hand without rhythm, making an irritating sound, making the already low air even more flustering.

"Your Majesty, the Duke of Lang has arrived!" The little eunuch ran in panting.

"Hurry up, let Langguo Gong come to see you!" Zhu Youxiao, who was pacing, heard this, and his original sad face immediately became happy, as if he had finally waited for a savior.

And everyone in the hall, including Zuo Guangdou and Yang Lian, in an instant, their faces changed from solemn to relaxed.

When Lang Guogong came, everyone had a bottom in their hearts.

When Lang Guogong came, this complicated mess was saved.

When Lang Guogong came, the society of the Ming Dynasty was stable.

"Xuan, the Duke of Langguo has entered the palace to meet you!"

With the roll call of the little eunuch, Wang Qi slowly entered the hall.

"Minister Wang Qi knocks to see Your Majesty," Wang Qi paid homage according to the courtesy.

"Please get up, please get up, Aiqing get up quickly," Zhu Youxiao stepped forward quickly, grabbed Wang Qi's arm, pulled him up from the ground, and looked eager: "Aiqing, is there a good plan??" ”

When Wang Qi heard this, his face did not change, and he bowed and said, "Your Majesty, Rong Chen will ask first, but what about Jizhou Mansion?" ”

Syllable!

Zhu Youxiao first brushed his face with his hand, and then stuffed the notebook in his hand into Wang Qi's hand: "Aiqing looks at himself." ”

Not long after, Wang Qi had already finished reading the book, and Han Yi wrote it himself, which was very different from the news Wang Qi got:

When he first arrived in Jizhou Mansion, Han Yi adopted the strategy of appeasing and relieving the disaster and breaking each one, but he did not expect that the White Lotus Sect deliberately provoked a conflict between the officials and refugees, and more than ten officers and soldiers were killed by the refugees in three days, and the villages around Jizhou Mansion were also wantonly looted, and the officials and soldiers did not have extra troops to encircle and pursue, and when Han Yi reacted and concentrated his forces to fight the White Lotus Sect, the White Lotus bandit leader gathered refugees to take advantage of the night to besiege Jizhou Mansion, and there were White Lotus Cultists who had been ambushed in advance in the city of Jizhou Mansion. The city was defenseless for a while, and the city was about to be broken in almost three hours, but fortunately, Pang Lianwei, the commander of the Beijing camp Zuoqian, resisted desperately, led his soldiers to block the corridor between the urn city and the outer city, and desperately killed the rebellious people who were besieging the city, so as to be able to hold the city.

When Wang Qi raised his head again, in the entire hall, seven people looked at Wang Qi with blank eyes.

"Is there a good solution?"

Handing back the notebook in his hand to Zhu Youxiao, Wang Qi thought for a moment and said: "Jizhou Mansion should be able to hold out for a few days, take advantage of this time, transfer troops from Liaodong or Jiaodong, and when the time comes, it will not be difficult to encircle and suppress it, and it will not be difficult to break the siege." ”

"Lang Guogong, it is not difficult to transfer troops, but Jizhou Mansion is related to the face of the imperial court, before the Jiaodong troops arrive, if Jizhou Mansion is broken by the chaotic people, it will be unfavorable to the overall situation, and when the time comes, there will be great chaos in Shanxi and Southwest," Sun Chengzong Lao Cheng was serious, and opened his mouth to explain the reason to Wang Qi.

Hearing this, Wang Qi almost wanted Little Bear to spread his hands.

If there are no soldiers, do you have to rely on your mouth to influence refugees?

Besides, the literati are the best at it, wouldn't it be redundant to call themselves?

"The person sent by Han Yi also brought a message," Ye Xianggao, who was standing on the side, said lightly.

Wang Qi frowned, and a bad feeling rose in his heart.

"The head of the White Lotus Sect named Lang Guogong to go to Jizhou Mansion by name, if not, the White Lotus will burn the city, and Maitreya will come to the world," Sun Chengzong added at the right time: "There is news that I don't know whether it is true or false, the man who Lang Guogong killed in Shanhaiguan is one of the three protectors of the White Lotus Sect." ”

The corners of Wang Qi's eyes twitched when he heard this: Can the world be so coincidental?

"In any case, the imperial court will not allow the rebellious people to burn the city," Zhu Youxiao looked at Wang Qi with a sincere face: "I will give you 5,000 men and horses, and I will rush to Jizhou Mansion early tomorrow morning." ”

Everyone in the hall looked at Wang Qi and waited for his answer.

"Your Majesty doesn't have to be like this," After a while, Wang Qi bowed down and received the emperor's order.

No one noticed that when Wang Qi bent over, there was a slight smile in his eyes.

In any case, things have already developed in the direction he expected, because when he arrived at Jizhou Mansion, it was the time when Han Yi was far away from the central court.

In any case, the removal of Han Yi from the cabinet this time is already a certainty.

Wang Qi seems to be getting closer and closer to his goal.

As for the unexpected factor of the White Lotus Sect, Wang Qi didn't pay attention to it at all, a group of chaotic people who were bewitched by the cult were just punished for their first evil, and without guidance, they would soon turn back into people who were tenacious and hardworking and endured pain.

Seeing that Wang Qi did not have any complaints and excuses about this appointment because of the Liaodong incident, Zhu Youxiao's hanging letter was put down slightly, and he muttered: "Love the pillars of the Qing country, I have the prince of Langguo, it is the blessing of the society!" ”

After setting the strategy, Zhu Youxiao was in a slightly better mood, reflexively returned to the throne, and issued an order to Sun Chengzong: "The military department can sign and issue the transfer document, and at the same time appoint Lang Guogong as the commander of the Beijing battalion of Beizhili, and lead the five military battalions, the Shenji battalion, and the three thousand battalions with the Zuodu governor, a total of 5,000 people, and set off tomorrow!" Rush to Jizhou to relieve its siege! ”

"Obey the order!" Sun Chengzong bowed down to receive the order.

After a short time, after the discussion was completed, everyone retreated, and the deployment of troops required more processes, and involved many yamen, which needed to be handled by the ministers.

Only Zhu Youxiao was left to sit in the hall in a daze, not moving his body for a long time, as if he was thinking about something.

"Your Majesty, it's time for lunch," Wei Zhongxian stepped forward at the right time to speak.

"You say, is it a wrong decision for me to transfer Wang Qi out of Liaodong?" The incident of Jizhou Mansion made Zhu Youxiao a little suspicious of his behavior.

Without Wang Qi, can the generals of Liaodong really wipe out the remnants of the Jurchen forces?

At this moment, a big question mark appeared in Zhu Youxiao's heart.

"Your Majesty," Wei Zhongxian said respectfully: "Your Shengrui is decisive and has a long-term plan, these things, as a slave and maid, it is difficult to guess. ”

"Just say it, why hide it here," Zhu Youxiao glanced at his eunuch with a pen: "I forgive you for your innocence!" ”

"The slave only knows that now there are rumors in the capital, saying that before the Duke of Langguo, Liaodong did not have a victory, after the Duke of Langguo, most of Liaodong recovered, and now Houjin can survive for a long time, all because the Duke of Langguo left Liao and returned to Beijing." Wei Zhongxian's voice carried a hint of deliberation and hesitation, repeating what he had heard to the Emperor of the Apocalypse.

"Hiss"

Zhu Youxiao pursed his lips tightly, his brows were deeply twisted together, and the self-doubt that had just risen was immediately extinguished, and it turned into a deep fear of Wang Qi again, and after a while, he said in a deep voice: "Give Xiong Tingbi an edict, tell Xiong Tingbi this to Xiong Tingbi, and let him immediately come up with the strategy of calming down Houjin!" ”
