Chapter 214: Reasserting Authority

"What are Aiqing's plans after she goes to Liao?" After Zhu Youxiao received Wang Qi's affirmative reply, his face finally stopped panicking, but sat back on the throne with the support of Wei Zhongxian and others.

Zhu Youxiao asked this sentence, there are two meanings, one is how Wang Qi dealt with the army of Houjin, and on the other hand, what does Wang Qi mean about the disposal of Xiong Tingbi and others?

"The most important thing is to stabilize the situation, the minister goes to Liaodong, and the most important thing is to appease the people," Wang Qi naturally understood what Zhu Youxiao meant, but he had his own plan in his heart, but he couldn't say it clearly in the court.

Soothing?

Wang Qi's words fell in everyone's ears, and Ye Xianggao and Sun Chengzong glanced at each other: I'm afraid it's a big killing, right?

Obviously, Zhu Youxiao didn't understand, first nodded ignorantly, and then asked:

"What should Hou Jin do if he continues to invade the south?"

"Your Majesty, Houjin will not invade the south, Your Majesty and all the ministers can rest assured about this matter!" When Wang Qi spoke, his body was straight, his tone was soothing, and he gave people a great sense of security and trust: "The initiative of Liaodong is still in my hands, and the victory of Houjin in this battle is not enough to erase its previous losses and rifts, and Dai Shan does not dare to rely on the power of a war to start a full-scale war with our dynasty, and the internal struggle of Houjin is so fierce, the death of the two princes is still in front of me, Your Majesty, there is no need to worry about it!" ”

After listening to Wang Qi's words, everyone in the hall was silent for a while.

It's not worry or trepidation.

Instead, he was infected by Lang Guogong's self-confidence.

Since Lang Guogong said that Houjin would not invade south, there is no need to ask more.

As for how Wang Qi will rectify Liaodong and how to resist Houjin after going to Liao, then Zhu Youxiao and others do not plan to interfere.

The emperor didn't ask, Ye Xianggao, as a staunch supporter of Wang Qi, naturally would not be hindered, and would only try his best to make some preparations for the Duke of Lang Guogong's personal trip to Liao above the court.

"What conditions Aiqing needs to go to Liao this time, I can put it forward, and I will do my best to meet it," Zhu Youxiao promised Wang Qi while looking at the pillar of the country with a little nervousness.

Because the court really has no money.

Xiong Tingbi's battle against gold almost emptied the silver of the imperial court in the north for the next year.

Even in Zhu Youxiao's harem, Queen Zhang Yan has recently taken the lead in saving thrift, no more than eight dishes per meal, and the amount of silk cloth is reduced by three zhang per month, and half of the monthly money and silver are donated to Liaodong affairs. I think the world is an example.

Although this matter seems like a joke to Wang Qi, but in the eyes of the entire government and the opposition, and even in the eyes of the people of the world, this move of the Inner Palace does serve the purpose of inspiring the people of the world.

"Your Majesty, this matter is not in a hurry, wait for the ministers to go to Liao, see what the situation is, and then make plans," Wang Qi does not plan to ask for money from the imperial court, if he really wants to wait for the imperial court to take out the money, then I am afraid that Ningyuan City has already changed the banner of the king, and Dai Shan already has the heart to occupy the entire territory of Liaodong.

"Do you want to make a statement?" Zhu Youxiao and Wang Qi talked for a long time, and finally remembered that there were still a few ministers in the hall, and turned his head to look at a few people: "Lang Guogong went to Liao, how about waiting?" ”

"The ministers fully support the plan of the Duke of Langguo in Liaodong, but if the Duke of Langguo has a word, the ministers will do their best to handle it properly!"

The emperor opened his mouth like this, and Ye Xiang had no other choice than to show his loyalty.

"Good!" Zhu Youxiao got up from the throne and said in a deep voice: "The affairs of the world are determined by me, and also by your Aiqing, I hope that today's decision, you can do your best, for the world, for the community, for the people!" Wait for yourself too! ”

"Your Ministers obey! Ten thousand deaths to repay His Majesty's Longen! ”

It was related to Liaodong affairs, and the monarch and ministers played for about an hour, and when the heavy rain outside the hall showed some signs of stopping, Wang Qi and the others walked out of the Wenhua Palace.

The general plan and plan have been set: Wang Qi will go to Liao within three days as the governor of Jiliao, and have full authority to dispose of the ministers of Liaodong, and all military and political affairs will be decided by one person, and there is no need to report to the court in advance.

In order for the imperial court to learn about Wang Qi's recital as soon as possible, Zhu Youxiao specially ordered to open a special channel for the General Administration Department, and the military aircraft were specially dispatched to take care of the recital of Langguo in Liaodong for twelve hours.

At the same time, the holy decree appointing Wang Qi as the governor of Jiliao did not wait for the next day to be discussed in the court, but directly served as Hanlin by Ye Xianggao, and directly drafted the handwriting.

For a time, there was an uproar in the capital.

Wang Qi became the governor of Jiliao and went to Liao again?

In the eyes of ordinary people, the first time they may be amazed by the name of the Duke of Langguo, just the crown and the crown, as the governor of Jiliao, it is really heavenly.

But in the eyes of those who have a heart, behind this appointment, the imperial court is obviously already 100,000 urgent, and Liaodong must be in danger!

For a time, rumors were raging and people were panicked,

It's night, Imperial City.

In the Qianqing Palace, Zhu Youxiao, who was accustomed to going to bed early in the past, did not go to bed at the moment, but held a book and kept pacing in the hall with his back hand, his expression was serious, and his mouth was constantly chanting.

The fire of the dragon candle illuminated the hall like daylight, and the eunuchs inside and outside did not dare to breathe, lest they disturb the emperor's thinking.

"Wei Zhongxian!" With a click, Zhu Youxiao finally paused and called the name of his confidant eunuch.

"Your Majesty, the minions are here!" Wei Zhongxian knelt respectfully to the side, waiting for the dispatch.

In normal times, the eunuch with the highest status in the inner palace would have returned to the house to enjoy the service of the ladies and servants, but today is special, Wei Zhongxian sent the eunuch on duty away and personally stayed in the Qianqing Palace, so that he could listen to the emperor's questions at any time.

"Ying Tianfu, has there been any news recently?" Zhu Youxiao frowned and asked an unexpected question.

"Huh?" Wei Zhongxian's homework today is all about Langguo Gong and Liaodong, and he didn't prepare any information about Ying Tianfu, but this famous eunuch in later generations can climb to a high position, but it is not just flattery, his eyes roll slightly, he has already understood that Zhu Youxiao's focus is there, and he slowly spoke: "Your Majesty, all departments of Ying Tianfu have a concert every ten days, Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Anhui, and Liangjiang all the imperial histories are also speaking for the court every month, in addition, Ying Tianfu Jinyiwei also supervises all roads for the imperial court in Nanjing, please rest assured."

After listening to Wei Zhongxian's answer, Zhu Youxiao was not very satisfied, and directly ordered: "Go and send someone to investigate, what have Yang Lian, Zuo Guangdou and others been doing recently?" How was the salt merchant and merchant tax levied in the court? The news of the war in Liaodong spreads, and I want to know the remarks of the various provinces in the south of the Yangtze River as soon as possible! ”

"Slaves obey!"

Obviously, Liaodong was defeated, and Zhu Youxiao was a little worried that the group of Donglin Party in Yingtianfu who had been degraded would be like a catfish, making waves among the people. In case it affects Wang Qi's trip to Liaoping to quell the chaos, it is absolutely unforgivable!
