Chapter 214: Returning to Power

"What are your plans after Aiqing goes to Liao?" After getting Wang Qi's affirmative reply, Zhu Youxiao's expression finally stopped being panic, and he sat back on the throne with the help of Wei Zhongxian and others.

Zhu Youxiao asked this sentence, which has two meanings. One is how Wang Qi dealt with Hou Jin's army, and on the other hand, what does Wang Qi mean about how Xiong Tingbi and others handled it?

"The most important thing is to stabilize the situation. When I go to Liaodong, the most important thing is to appease people's hearts." Wang Qi naturally understood what Zhu Youxiao meant, but he had his own plan in mind, but he could not express it clearly above the court.

Soothing people?

Wang Qi's words fell on everyone's ears. Ye Xianggao and Sun Chengzong looked at each other: Are they going to go on a killing spree?

Obviously, Zhu Youxiao didn't understand. He nodded confusedly at first, and then asked:

"What should we do if the Later Jin Dynasty continues to invade the south?"

"Your Majesty, Hou Jin will not invade the south. Your Majesty and all the ministers can rest assured about this matter!" When Wang Qi spoke, he stood straight, his tone was soothing, and he spoke every word, giving people great security and trust.

Thoughts: “The initiative in Liaodong is still in my hands.

, Hou Jin's victory in this battle was not enough to erase the previous losses and rifts. Daishan did not dare to rely on the power of the first battle to start a full-scale war with our country. The internal struggle of Hou Jin was fierce, and the death of two princes

You are still here, Your Majesty, there is no need to worry about it!"

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

It’s not that I’m worried or scared.

Instead, he was infected by Duke Lang's confidence.

Since Duke Lang said that Hou Jin would not invade the south, there is no need to ask any more questions.

As for how Wang Qi would regulate Liaodong and resist Hou Jin after going to Liao, Zhu Youxiao and others did not intend to interfere.

The emperor did not ask, and Ye Xianggao and others, as Wang Qi's staunch supporters, naturally would not restrain themselves. They would only try their best to make preparations in the court for Duke Lang to go to Liao in person.

"If you want to go to Liao this time, please put forward any conditions you need, and I will do my best to satisfy you," Zhu Youxiao promised Wang Qi while looking at the pillar of the country slightly nervously.

Because the court really has no money.

Xiong Tingbi's battle to conquer gold almost emptied the imperial court's money in the north in the next year.

Even Zhu Youxiao's harem, Queen Zhang Yan, has recently taken the lead in being frugal and frugal. Each meal does not exceed eight dishes. The consumption of silk and cloth is reduced by 30 feet per month. Half of the monthly money is donated to Liaodong affairs...

.Thinking of setting an example for the world.

Although this matter seemed like a joke to Wang Qi, in the eyes of the entire government and the public, and even the people of the world, the move of the inner palace did serve the purpose of inspiring the people of the world...

"Your Majesty, this matter is not urgent. After I go to Liao, we will see how the situation goes before we make plans." Wang Qi does not plan to ask for money from the court. If he really wants to wait for the money from the Ministry of Household Affairs, Ningyuan City may have turned into a king's flag.

, Daishan is already determined to occupy the entire territory of Liaodong.

"You also want to express your opinion?" Zhu Youxiao and Wang Qi talked for a long time, and finally remembered that there were several ministers in the palace, and turned to look at them: "Lang Guogong went to Liao, how are you waiting?"

"I and others fully support Duke Lang's plan for Liaodong. Whenever Duke Lang has something to say, I and others will do their best to handle it properly!"

The emperor spoke like this, so Ye Xianggao had no other choice but to show his loyalty.

"Okay!" Zhu Youxiao stood up from the throne and said in a deep voice: "The affairs of the world are decided by me and also by all of you dear friends. I hope that with today's decision, you can do your best for the world, the country, and the people!

I’m also waiting for myself for you!”

"I obey the decree! I will die to repay Your Majesty's favor!"

It was a matter of Liaodong affairs, and the emperor and his ministers continued to discuss it for about an hour. When the heavy rain outside the palace showed signs of stopping, Wang Qi and others walked out of the Wenhua Palace.

The general layoff and plan have been made: Wang Qi will go to Liao within three days as the governor of Jiliao, with full power to deal with the ministers in Liaodong. All military and political affairs are decided by one person. There is no need to report to the court in advance. Kill first and report later. Imperial authority granted.

This is Duke Lang.

All subsequent needs and personnel requirements of Wang Qi must be handled by the cabinet ministers within one day without any delay. In order for the court to be informed of Wang Qi's memorial as soon as possible, Zhu Youxiao specially ordered the Office of General Affairs to open a

Special channel, special military aircraft, dedicated to studying the memorial of Duke Lang of Liaodong for twelve hours.

At the same time, the imperial edict appointing Wang Qi as Governor of Jiliao did not wait for further discussion in the court the next day. Instead, Ye Xianggao served as an official and directly drafted the handwritten letter. That night, it was reported to all the yamen in the capital.

Camp affiliation and state military equipment.

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

Wang Qi was appointed governor of Ji Liao and went to Liao again?

In the eyes of ordinary people, they may be amazed at the name of Duke Lang at the first time. He is a mere crown prince. He is truly a genius in serving as the governor of Jiliao.

But in the eyes of those who are interested, behind this appointment, the imperial court is obviously in dire straits, and Liaodong must be in danger!

For a time, rumors were rampant and people were panicked.

It's night in the Imperial City.

In the Qianqing Palace, Zhu Youxiao, who used to go to bed early in the past, did not go to bed at this moment. Instead, he held a book and kept pacing in the palace with his hands behind his back, his expression serious, and he kept mumbling something.

The dragon candle's fire illuminated the palace as if it were daytime, and the eunuchs inside and outside were so nervous that they did not dare to breathe for fear of disturbing the emperor's thinking.

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

"Your Majesty, this servant is here!" Wei Zhongxian knelt down respectfully, waiting for orders.

Normally, the eunuch with the highest status in the inner palace would have gone back to the palace to enjoy the service of his female family members and servants, but today was special. Wei Zhongxian sent the eunuch on duty away and stayed in the Qianqing Palace himself, so that he could be at the emperor's disposal at any time. question.

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

"Ah?" The homework Wei Zhongxian did today was all related to Duke Lang and Liaodong. He didn't prepare any information about Yingtian Mansion. However, this famous eunuch was able to climb to a high position because of his flattery. As soon as he turned around, he understood where Zhu Youxiao's focus was, and he slowly said: "Your Majesty, the ministries of Yingtian Mansion submit memorials every ten days, and the censors of Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Anhui, and Liangjiang also submit memorials every month. In addition, Ying Tianfu Jinyiwei also supervises various roads in Nanjing for the imperial court. Please rest assured..."

After hearing Wei Zhongxian's answer, Zhu Youxiao was not very satisfied and directly ordered: "Send someone to check, what are Yang Lian, Zuo Guangdou and others doing recently? How are the salt merchants and commercial taxes in the court collected? ?When the news of the war in Liaodong spreads, I want to know the opinions of various people in the south of the Yangtze River as soon as possible!"

"The slave obeys the order!"
