Ban Dingyuan?

As soon as Wang Qi said these words, everyone in the hall was surprised, surprised and confused.

Needless to say, Zuo Guangdou and Xiong Tingbi were both Jinshi scholars. They not only memorized the books of the Later Han Dynasty but also read them backwards. Naturally, they understood what Wang Qi meant by "why not be one of those Dingyuan people".

Although the generals did not read much, their deeds of Ban Chao's mission to the Western Regions were widely circulated in the Ming Dynasty. Liu Qu, Luo Yiguan and others all used them as examples to encourage themselves.

Therefore, most people know what Wang Qi means...

Moreover, this method does seem to be more feasible than the two methods Zuo Guangdou just mentioned, and if it succeeds, it will be of great benefit to the Ming court!

But the question is, who will go?

The hall fell silent again for a while.

"Why is it quiet again?" As the Chief of Ceremonies, Da Jue, and as the representative of the palace, Wang Tiqian has been silent. After all, the Chief of Ceremonies represents the emperor's wishes and cannot speak easily. But at this time, Wang Qi has already explained the method. When everyone came out, everyone looked at me and I looked at you, but no one stood up and said: I will go to Dingyuan in the end!

Down the hall, Luo Yigui, the chief military officer of Guangning City, moved his buttocks and wanted to stand up, but he looked a little embarrassed.

Deputy Commander Qi Bingzhong tapped his fingers on the table and seemed a little hesitant.

Zu Dashou, on the other hand, lowered his eyebrows and did not look at anyone. He just lowered his head and stared at the ground, as if the blue floor tile in front of him was some rare treasure.

The three general officers were like this, and the other generals also kept silent.

At this time, Xiong Tingbi also glanced at Wang Qi.

Zuo Guangdou first looked at Luo Yiguan and others, then at Xiong Tingbi. Finally, he sighed, leaned back on his chair, and stopped talking.

At this time, everyone knew that in the entire Ming Dynasty and Liaodong, no one except Wang Qi was qualified and capable of leading the mission to Horqin, Mongolia.

Luo Yiguan, Qi Bingzhong, Zu Dashou and other military generals from aristocratic families were not suitable to lead an envoy to Horqin and were at odds with Li.

And what about the civil servants in Liaodong?

Governor Zuo Guangdou and Xiong Tingbi were all civilian officials, but their ranks were too high to lead troops on missions.

Fang Xun who has not yet taken up a post in Shandong, Gao Bangzuo who participated in politics in Guangning City, Liaodong, and deputy general Jiang Chaodong?

Incapable, let alone qualified!

To lead a delegation to Horqin, one must have the qualifications to represent the imperial court, the ability to intimidate the Horqin Mongols, extraordinary means and tenacity.

Another important point is that if something urgent happens, do it cheaply!

After much calculation, there is only one person left: the fourth-rank Liaodong Dusi, who commands the general affairs, leads the royal guards, is a close relative of the emperor, and supports the troops and relatives—Wang Qi!

"Captain Wang," Xiong Tingbi thought about it for a while before saying slowly: "Only you have the qualifications and ability to lead the delegation to Horqin."

"You can do anything you want!" Wang Qi's expression was indifferent. Liaodong affairs were his own business. Wang Qi's basic situation could only be secured if Liaodong was safe. With long-term thinking, he wanted to destroy Jianzhou and stabilize Mongolia. At least for now, his strategic direction is the same as that of the Ming Dynasty. unanimously, so Wang Qi did not hesitate to send Horqin as envoy...

"But, I have a request!" Wang Qi turned to look at Xiong Tingbi.

"But it doesn't matter!" Xiong Tingbi said, pointing to the two adults beside him.

The meaning is very clear. One of the two adults is Donglin Zhongjian, the governor of Liaodong, and the other is Dajuan, the Superintendent of Ceremonies, a close minister of the emperor. No matter what request Wang Qi makes, there is nothing that cannot be agreed to today.

"I need a right," Wang Qi turned around, not looking at Xiong Tingbi and Zuo Guangdou, but at Wang Tiqian, the Supervisor of Rites.

"Huh?" Wang Tiqian, the imperial concubine, was puzzled. He didn't know what kind of medicine Wang Qi was selling in his gourd.

Wang Qi smiled and said slowly: "The right to draft an imperial edict!"

"Arrogant!"

As soon as Wang Qi finished speaking, Zuo Guangdou was already furious and shouted: "Drafting an imperial edict? How dare you, a warrior, have such a delusional idea? Your uncle Wang Huazhen doesn't even dare to have such extravagant hopes!"

Zuo Guangdou now feels that the Donglin Party's idea of ​​wooing Wang Qi is a big mistake.

This person is not the kind of warrior who can be manipulated at will. His ambition is simply appalling.

On the other side, Xiong Tingbi also frowned, feeling that Wang Qi's words were too ridiculous.

How can any warrior in this world dare to reach out for such power?

Who dares to agree to this? The court officials will not take it lightly!

"Drafting an imperial edict..." Wang Tiqian was also stunned on the spot, muttering to himself, as if thinking about something.

"I don't have the power to draft an imperial edict. If I lead a mission to Horqin, I will be outside. If there is an emergency, how should I deal with it?" Wang Qi said.

Zuo Guangdou sneered and said: "It's urgent? Why is it so urgent that you need the power to draft an imperial edict?"

"Then why don't you, Mr. Zuo, lead the delegation to Horqin and talk to Nazhai Sang?" Wang Qi said in a casual tone.

He has no time to fight with Zuo Guang.

"No matter what, I will not agree to this!" Zuo Guangdou flicked his sleeves and answered decisively, obviously leaving no room for negotiation.

On the other side, Xiong Tingbi tapped his fingers lightly on the table, looking upset. It was obvious that Wang Qi's request had exceeded his psychological expectations and capabilities.

On the other hand, the Supervisor of Ceremonies, Wang Tigan, showed a meaningful smile.

"Captain Wang, don't say angry words, just do things for the court, and the court will not treat you badly," Wang Tiqian touched his smooth chin with a smile.

Wang Qi did not speak, but looked at Wang Tiqian with an expression that seemed to be a smile but not a smile.

Today, it is precisely because someone from the Supervisor of Ceremonies is here that he, Wang Qi, dares to make such a request...

The Donglin Party and the Chief of Ceremonies, who represent the emperor, are at odds with each other. Now that the Donglin Party controls the cabinet, Zhu Youxiao has obviously been dissatisfied for a long time.

Now... isn't this an important step in weakening the power of the Donglin Party?

"My lord, you don't want to break this precedent on behalf of the imperial court, do you?" Zuo Guangdou was like a rooster with aroused fighting spirit, wanting to peck anyone he saw.

"Master Zuo, Captain Wang is doing things for the imperial court. Why are you so stingy? You dare not take responsibility. Let's make this decision for the emperor!" Wang Tiqian twisted his orchid fingers and said to Wang Qi: "Captain Wang, I am here to envoy Horqinzhi. You can handle the matter with peace of mind, obey the authority in urgent matters, and act expeditiously. As the Emperor has said in his golden words, if anything happens, our family will take care of it for you!"

"I won't agree to this matter. If you want to take responsibility for Wang Qi, then you, the Supervisor of Ceremonies, will be impeached!" Zuo Guangdou no longer had the patience to fight Wang Ti, so Wang Qi pulled the strings and said so. He stood up and left the table directly.

"Xiong Jinglue, what do you think?" Wang Tiqian ignored Zuo Guangdou who left, but looked at Liaodong Jinglue.

"Since the Chief of Ceremonies has already spoken, I naturally don't need to say anything more," Xiong Tingbi forced a smile. He didn't want to get involved in this muddy water.

"The Holy One has already said that Captain Wang will act cheaply in Liaodong. We will report Horqin's trip to His Majesty after we return to Beijing. Don't worry, the Emperor will support you in everything!!" Wang Tiqian stretched out his hand and made a request. Posture.

"Then, thank you, father-in-law!" Wang Qi stood up and bowed.
