Chapter 27 The best way to win people’s hearts

 Dongnuang Pavilion of Qianqing Palace.

After the court meeting ended, Zhu Youxiao walked into the Nuan Pavilion without saying a word with a cold face, and Wei Zhongxian followed closely behind.

Outside the window, heavy snowflakes are falling, and inside the house it is as warm and warm as spring.

In the Nuan Pavilion, except for the ceremonial supervisor, King Daxun, Ti Gan, the rest of the serving maids and eunuchs all stepped aside and stayed far away. It was best to be transparent at this time, otherwise the emperor would vent his anger on himself. Then But it is an unforeseen disaster.

"Your Majesty, I have just been here by the Holy Empress." At this time, Wang Tigan winked, and the four maids on the side dared to step forward and change the emperor's clothes. They took off the heavy crown clothes and put on brocade silk clothes that fit more closely with cotton velvet. There are two other eunuchs in casual clothes, one on each side. The one on the left is holding a palm stove with a dragon-patterned jade carving in his hand. The wall of the stove is warm for the emperor to warm his hands. The one on the right is holding a fruit plate and cakes, which he raises above his head. The emperor can enjoy it at any time.

"Why is the nanny here?" Although Zhu Youxiao was in a bad mood, his expression softened slightly when he heard that Mrs. Fengsheng had come.

"Madam was chatting with the maids just now. She heard about the great victory in Liaodong, so she went to cook in person and made a few side dishes. When she came over, it was during a meeting between His Majesty and several cabinet ministers. I didn't want to disturb you, so I left first." Wang Tiqian raised his head. , saw Zhu Youxiao set his eyes on the cakes, and then looked at himself.

"Your Majesty, judging by my memory, I almost forgot that the Queen has also been here and prepared some of your favorite cakes for Your Majesty..." Wang Tiqian really wanted to slap himself a few times, but he used it. Are you so smart?

"Put it down, I have no appetite now," Zhu Youxiao waved his hand: "Wei Zhongxian stays, and the others leave!"

"Slave, please leave!" Wang Tigan bowed, then quickly took two steps, calling to several maids and eunuchs serving in Qianqing Palace to leave quickly: "Go, go, go!!"

Not long after, in the huge Dongnuang Pavilion of Qianqing Palace, there were only Zhu Youxiao sitting by the window, and Wei Zhongxian not far behind him, who was bending and obeying orders.

Looking at the heavy snow outside the window, Zhu Youxiao, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke: "Daban, tell me... Can Wang Qi, one of the hundreds of households in Liaodong, be used by me?"

"As long as the Emperor wants, anyone in the world can be used by His Majesty," Wei Zhongxian looked up at Zhu Youxiao's back with a sincere tone.

"Ha..." Zhu Youxiao did not feel any pleasure from this flattery: "The cabinet ministers, the six ministers, the Supervisory Office, Dali Temple, the General Affairs Office, the government and military equipment, and all civil and military officials Which one is the most fuel-efficient lamp?"

"It has only been two years since Your Majesty came to practice, but Liaodong has achieved a great victory that has not been seen in decades. This is God's blessing. In time, the entire court will be used by Your Majesty!" Wei Zhongxian's tone became more and more humble.

"The Chief of Ceremonies needs to take action as soon as possible! We cannot let the Donglin Party dominate the sky with one hand. There are six bachelors in the cabinet, three are from Donglin, six are ministers, and four are from the cabinet. If this continues, the entire court will... That's all they have to say!" Zhu Youxiao turned around and stared at Wei Zhongxian: "Do you understand?"

"I will obey the Holy Order!" Wei Zhongxian fell to his knees with a plop.

"Let's talk about Wang Qi. If this person can be used by me, I can get a glimpse of things in Liaodong. If he is really talented, I will no longer have to be constrained by the princes in the court!" Zhu Youxiao said.

He patted the bronze pillars in the palace and breathed out softly: "Do you have any news from Liaodong that you are in charge of the Jin Yiwei of the Ritual Supervisor?"

Although Zhu Youxiao is currently the emperor, any of his actions must be approved by the cabinet.

From the fact that Lady Fengsheng left the palace, we can see that His Majesty the Emperor, the king of a country, wanted his nanny to stay in the palace, but he also played some clever tricks and repeatedly tried to pull it off with the officials, although Lady Fengsheng did not leave the palace in the end.

, but Zhu Youxiao was privately ridiculed by officials, saying, "If you don't keep your word, you will break your own words"!

As for the Liaodong affairs, over the past few years, the people in charge of Liaodong have changed from Yang Hao to Yuan Yingtai, to Xue Guoyong, to Wang Zaijin, and finally to Wang Huazhen and Xiong Tingbi...

If we analyze it carefully, we can conclude that among the Donglin, Chu Party, Zhejiang Party, and Qi Party, whichever party is more powerful in the court can send its generals to serve as governors of Liaodong and manage the region.

Is there any trace of holy meaning in it?

"Your Majesty," Wei Zhongxian took two steps forward and handed a letter with both hands: "This was played by Lu Enguang, the commander of the Liaodong Jinyi Guards. He arrived at the Chief of Ceremonies early this morning. It was urgent and the servant was unable to report to Your Majesty."

"Oh!" Zhu Youxiao turned around after hearing this and looked at the letter in Wei Zhongxian's hand: "Liaodong Jinyiwei is commanding Qianshi?"

"Last year, in the name of supervising armaments, Lu Enguang went to Liao Dynasty with Xiong Tingbi to take office." Wei Zhongxian knew everything about the Supervisor of Ceremonies.

When Wei Zhongxian was speaking, Zhu Youxiao had already opened the letter: "Your Majesty, Lu Enguang, would like to report...According to my investigation, Wang Qi's parents died young, and his uncle Wang Huazhen was aware of his temperament and did not teach him the way to the imperial examination. Therefore,

He has little connection with the Donglin Party and is usually accompanied by personal guards. He likes to fight bravely and often acts as a playboy. He also likes to ride and shoot on hunting. The battle of Zhenwu Fort was the first time he showed his dominance.

The talent of commanding, I think he is quite talented as a general, and he also has the favor of the emperor... If he can win over a little and show favors, he will be more in control than the civil servants!"

"My dear friend, what do you think?" After a while, Zhu Youxiao put away the memorial and put his hands behind his back, as if thinking about something.

"I believe that the opportunity to win over people's hearts is the kindness of knowledge and encounter at the end of life." Wei Zhongxian followed Zhu Youxiao's footsteps and followed suit: "The current Wang Qi has not grown up. If His Majesty directly imposes on him through Jin Yiwei,

The influence can be better controlled. At the same time, favors can be given to his parents at home, and Wang Huazhen's crime of hiring a wrong person this time can also be pardoned in the name of Wang Qi. Let him know that God's grace belongs to His Majesty, and not

In the court."

"Well..." Zhu Youxiao nodded slightly, and then said: "I just heard you say that Wang Huazhen once wanted to marry Ye Xianggao?"

"According to the report from Jin Yiwei, this is indeed the case."

"Why did the trip fail in the end?" Zhu Youxiao asked.

"Haha," Wei Zhongxian smiled and replied: "Ye Shoufu feels that he belongs to a powerful family, while Wang Qi is just a playboy in the government office and is not worthy of his precious granddaughter."

"What if I grant him a marriage?" Zhu Youxiao turned his head and wanted to win over the Liaodong generals in a more direct way.

For some reason, Zhu Youxiao admired Wang Qi very much, and intuitively told himself that this little official of one hundred households would play a decisive role in whether the Ming Dynasty would be stable in the future.

"Ah?" Wei Zhongxian was stunned and asked subconsciously: "Which girl does your Majesty want to give to Wang Baihu?"
