"Your Majesty, the Duke of Qi is already preparing to go to the provinces of Jiangsu and Zhejiang." Wang Tiqian stood outside the lake pavilion, three steps away, on the frozen lake, the Emperor of the Apocalypse was wearing a velvet coat, sitting on the lake fishing.

The cold winter wax moon, close to the first month, Beijing City, is getting colder and colder.

"Well, the manpower has already been arranged?" The Emperor of the Apocalypse looked at the mouth of the fishing hole made on the surface of the lake, and muttered in a low tone.

"Back to Your Majesty's words, it has been arranged," Wang Tiqian's expression became more and more respectful.

Since the beginning of this year, the emperor's imperial methods have become more and more sophisticated, for the victory of Liaodong, he can suppress the Donglin Party with iron and blood, even if the public opinion in the world is turbulent, this emperor can also protect Wang Qi with an iron heart, so that he can fight with Jiannu in Liaodong without worries, and this victory in Jin, the attitude of Qi Guogong, also confirms the unique way of the young emperor.

Indeed, even from Wang Tiqian's point of view, the prestigious Duke of Qi has indeed threatened the emperor.

Tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in Liaodong alone were enough to keep the Emperor of the Apocalypse awake.

Now, Wang Tiqian still clearly remembers that when the secret music of Liaodong arrived at the palace that day, the Emperor of the Apocalypse was first ecstatic, holding the great victory book and running for several laps in the Qianqing Palace before he could stop, and then turned over and over dozens of times, as if to confirm whether this great achievement was real. But after the ecstasy, that night, the emperor's bedroom was brightly lit all night, Wang Tiqian did not have an errand that day, but listening to Wei Zhongxian, when the emperor was the emperor, after reopening the book, the ecstasy on his face had been replaced by deep jealousy.

I wrote the words Langguo Gong and Liaodong on rice paper dozens of times in a row

Until the force penetrates the back of the paper, the ink runs out.

Then he ordered them all to be burned.

After that, Zhu Youxiao summoned Wei Zhongxian and Wang Tiqian overnight.

And three days later, outside the Chaoyang Gate, the bodies of the four dead Donglin court officials were found by the gatekeepers.

When the government and the opposition were in an uproar, Wang Tiqian caught a glimpse of the expression of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, and he was so complacent.

Although Yin Wenling of Shuntian Mansion later found out that the so-called 'truth' was killed by bandits and thieves, people's attention has obviously gathered on Qi Guogong - no, Wang Qi, who was still Langguo Gong at that time.

"Don't leave any traces in this matter, just like Chaoyangmen, do it cleanly," Zhu Youxiao's eyes were staring at the entrance of the cave for a moment, as if a fish would be hooked in the next second.

The slave and maid understood, "Wang Tiqian, as the head of the East Factory, how to do it in the natural way."

"After Qi Guogong leaves Beijing, I will act," Zhu Youxiao added.

"Yes."

"By the way, I heard that Cao Wenzhao in Liaodong encountered some obstacles when he pacified Hetuala?" Zhu Youxiao's eyes glanced at Wei Zhongxian, who had not spoken for a long time.

"Back to Your Majesty's words, Cao Wenzhao took more than 10,000 Ming troops and marched to Hetuala, but encountered the attack of the remnants of Jianzhou soldiers and horses and an unknown number of Japanese ronins, and after a stalemate for a few days, he could only retreat to Fushun City, and also escaped from Dolgon, the prince of Jianzhou Li" Wei Zhongxian's information is very well-informed, and the layout of Dongchang in Liaodong looks very effective.

Wei Zhongxian added at the end: "At present, the news has not been transmitted back to Shanhaiguan, and Qin Erbao, the chief soldier of Liaodong, suppressed the news."

"Qi Guogong, what is the reaction?" Zhu Youxiao raised his eyebrows and turned his head to look at Wei Zhongxian: "Duke Qi should know about this, right?" ”

"Last night, the news should have reached the Duke of Qi's mansion," Wei Zhongxian nodded: "For the time being, I haven't found out how the Duke of Qi replied to General Qin." ”

"It's nothing more than delaying time, asking Qin Erbao to give Cao Wenzhao more troops, and strive to take Hetuala as soon as possible and wipe out the remaining Jiannu," Zhu Youxiao smiled, full of confidence: "Liaodong affairs, I don't care, presumably he Qin Erbao will try his best to do things for the sake of the face of the Duke of Qi. However, this matter needs to be detonated from another aspect to cooperate with the fermentation of the Donglin Dynasty official's death case. ”

"What does Your Majesty mean?" Wei Zhongxian hesitated a little and said, "Push the reason for Cao Wenzhao's defeat on the Duke of Qi?" ”

"Do whatever you want, do it beautifully, I don't want to have a reputation for crossing the river and demolishing the bridge," Zhu Youxiao's gaze fell back on the fishing rod: "I just want the monarch and the minister to get along and be safe." ”

Wei Zhongxian and Wang Tiqian glanced at each other, both speechless: So the monarch and the minister get along?

But also, throughout the ages, no emperor can tolerate such a deep heart of the Duke of Qi and a foreign relative and military minister with heavy troops.

It's just that Zhu Youxiao's methods are a little radical and some are too explicit.

After a short time, Wang Tiqian retreated, leaving only Wei Zhongxian, a few little eunuchs, and dozens of royal guards on the periphery.

The cold wind was howling, but Zhu Youxiao seemed to be enjoying it.

"As long as you follow my arrangement, I won't push you too much." Zhu Youxiao stared at the lake, as if speaking to the fish under the ice: "After all, I have decided to marry the imperial sister Princess Ningde to Ling, as long as in the end, you hand over the military power safely, everything will be safe." ”

"Just a few days after I came back, I was going to go far away, what is good about being this Duke of Qi?" Hai Lanzhu's body has become rounded, and the bulging lower abdomen indicates that the fetus is about to give birth, this beauty of Horqin put her husband's hand on her chest with a distressed face: "The slave family would rather the husband be a farmer and a farmer, and not far from being the prince of the prince." ”

"Before the end of the month, I will be back," Wang Qi's palm gently covered his wife's lower abdomen, and said softly: "Don't worry, I will be by your side." ”

"I heard that in the slave family, there are many people in the generation of Jiangsu and Zhejiang who don't like their husbands?" Hai Lanzhu opened her eyes wide, although she was married to Wang Qi as a concubine, she was still simple, and her beautiful eyes were full of worry: "Can you not go?" ”

"This matter is done, maybe in the next few years, your husband will be able to be by your side," Wang Qi comforted his wife softly: "You can rest assured, tens of thousands of Jiannu have never hurt your husband's cold hair, afraid of just a scholar?" ”

"Hmm"

After a long time, Hai Lanzhu was finally put to sleep, and a few maids and wives were taking care of her, and Wang Qi returned to the study in the front yard.

"My lord, the carriages and horses are ready, and we will leave tomorrow," Wang Shouxin came to the study and reported to Wang Qi.

"Liaodong's reply was sent out?" Wang Qi stood at the window of the study, quietly looking at Hanmei Gufang outside.

"An hour ago, out of Chaoyangmen," Wang Shouxin nodded, and hesitated for a long time before he spoke: "My lord, the appearance of the Waguo Ronin is indeed unexpected, General Cao."

"You don't need to intercede for him, he will find the field himself," Wang Qi is not worried about the war in Liaodong at all, Hetuala, the Japanese ronin is also a trivial matter, as long as the things in Jiangsu and Zhejiang in front of him are done, in the future, Wang Qi will settle them all one by one!
