"Liaonan, Mao Wenlong..." Of course Zhu Youxiao knew about Mao Wenlong's surrender to Jianzhou.
Speaking of which, the time when Wang Qi was on his mission to Jianzhou was exactly the time when Mao Wenlong was attacked by Mang Gurtai's troops.
But are there any necessary connections between the two people?
I'm afraid Nurhaci didn't even know that Wang Qi was going to Horqin to stop Huang Taiji's marriage, right?
According to the information sent back by the Jin Yiwei, Nurhachi should have wanted to create some noise in Liaodong to attract the attention of the Ming court, so that Huang Taiji led the envoy into Horqin without anyone noticing, completing the marriage between Jianzhou and Mongolia on the grassland. .
In fact, Nurhachi's plan is indeed loud. If the forces of Mongolia in the west can really be drawn into Jianzhou's camp, then Nurhaci can concentrate on dealing with the Ming court in the south...
Moreover, leaving Horqin aside for the moment, neither Nurhachi nor the Ming court expected that a sudden attack by Mang Gurtai with less than ten thousand people could cause Mao Wenlong to be defeated so quickly, and even lead the people to surrender directly.
"What on earth did Mao Wenlong do in Dongjiang Town?" Zhu Youxiao suddenly became angry for no reason. He sat on the throne and suddenly shouted:
"Didn't Wang Huazhen say that he, Mao Wenlong, could contain tens of thousands of Jianzhou soldiers in Dongjiang Town? Millions of dollars in salary every year in the past two years! And how did Yuan Keli guarantee it to me! What did it say in the memorial? Say As long as we allocate enough money to repair the warships, prepare equipment, and prepare for Commander Mao's support in advance! We can make the enemy weak on both sides and not dare to advance south easily!"
Zhu Youxiao seemed to be venting his anger into the air, recounting the questions he had buried deep in his heart, as well as his many dissatisfaction with the ministers of the imperial court...
"Eat the king and pay, and know the official position! Is that it?" Zhu Youxiao suddenly stood up, raised his arms suddenly, and pushed down the memorials in front of him.
With a crash, the memorial fell onto the bluestone board and scattered on the ground.
That's it?
In the Qianqing Palace, Zhu Youxiao's voice slowly echoed...
Wei Zhongxian and Wang Tiqian are already kneeling on the ground. At this time, it is better to let the emperor vent his anger and reduce his sense of existence as much as possible. But do not go up and say anything to dissuade. When a person is angry, anyone can express his anger. Object......
After a while, Zhu Youxiao finally finished venting his anger. He turned around and saw the two slaves still kneeling on the ground. His voice was hoarse and tired: "Get up, I'm not stupid enough to anger you."
Wei Zhongxian and Wang Tiqian stood up quickly after hearing the words, and then walked in front of the imperial table with their bodies hunched over, picking up the memorials scattered on the floor one by one. Their obedient appearance did not reveal that one was the Governor of Dongchang and the other was the Secretary of Ceremony. Supervisor Tai Sui.
Zhu Youxiao sat casually on the jade steps, leaning against the copper pillars with phoenix and dragon carvings, looking at the clear sky high above the Qianqing Palace: "The key is that Wang Qi didn't get any news back from Horqin! It makes me feel a little bit. perturbed."
Wang Tiqian bowed and picked up the memorial, and at the same time carefully replied: "Before he went to Horqin, Captain Wang once said to his servant, why not join the Dingyuan team!"
"Huh?" Zhu Youxiao narrowed his eyes and looked at Wang Tiqian: "What do you mean?"
Of course Zhu Youxiao had heard the story of Ban Chao's mission to the Western Regions, but what does this have to do with Wang Qi's trip to Horqin?
"My understanding is that in Wang Duwei's mind, whether he can make an alliance with Horqin during this trip to the grassland is not a big deal. If he can be killed..." Wang Tiqian bowed deeply and secretly raised his eyes, Looking at Zhu Youxiao's expression, his words stopped there.
"Beheaded, who?" Zhu Youxiao raised his eyebrows.
"...Huang, Tai, Ji," Wang Tiqian said one word at a time.
Um?
Uh, hahahaha! ! ! !
Zhu Youxiao was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then he laughed up to the sky, slapping his thighs while laughing, as if he had heard a big joke.
"Darling, you can always come up with some ideas to make me happy." Tears flowed from the corners of Zhu Youxiao's eyes, his cheeks turned red from holding back, and he gasped while laughing: "It's hard for you too."
Wang Tiqian and Wei Zhongxian looked at each other in silence.
yes,
Everyone knows that if Huang Taiji can be killed, all the abuses, criticisms and rumors against Wang Qi will be solved.
But how can things in the world be so simple?
Killed Huang Taiji?
If the Donglin people in the cabinet knew about this matter, they would probably reply directly: "Why don't you say that you killed Nurhachi, directly pacified Liaodong, plowed the courtyards and cleared holes, and restored the Ming Dynasty to a prosperous and prosperous era?"
Sitting on the bronze pillar of the main hall, Zhu Youxiao looked at the sky outside and said silently: "If Wang Qi can kill Huang Taiji... I can even reward him as a prince!"
By then, no one would dare to say no...
If there is, then not enough ministers died under Tingwei!
Wang Tiqian and Wei Zhongxian both sighed when they saw this: Let's first hope that Wang Qi can return safely...
At this time, there was some hesitation at the small yellow gate outside the palace, as if there was something to report.
Zhu Youxiao squinted his eyes, sat on the ground without any dignity, and asked the little eunuch by the door, "What's the matter?"
"To report back to Your Majesty, yes, it is Princess Ningde who is asking to see you." Xiao Huangmen lowered his head, not daring to look at Zhu Youxiao sitting on the ground.
Princess Ningde is coming?
Zhu Youxiao pursed his lips lightly: Yes, Wang Qi led the delegation into the grassland, and the matter of being impeached by the ministers was spread inside and outside the palace. It was difficult for Princess Ningde to know about it.
Just after marrying the imperial sister to Wang Qi, something like this happened.
Zhu Youxiao felt a little apologetic and waved his hand: "Let Princess Ningde go to the side hall and wait for a while. I will be there in a minute."
————
Although Princess Ningde is young and has grown up in the palace, she has been very smart since she was a child. She has seen and thought about many things, and she naturally understands them a lot.
When you are born into an emperor's family, you have no control over many things.
Although I have never met Wang Qi, many people in the palace have heard of Wang Qi's story. Even the Queen Mother once praised her future husband, saying that he was a talented person in the country and could help the emperor's brother govern the country.
That man must be a great hero who helped the country and resisted the enemy, right?
Princess Ningde often thinks this way.
At this time, Princess Ningde, who was sitting in the side hall, asked someone to put the pastry box in her hand on the table, while she stood by the door, obediently waiting for the arrival of the royal brother.
It was a pastry she made by herself. She originally wanted to give it to the Empress, but there were too few people in the palace who could talk to her. Only the Empress was a good person and often talked to Princess Ningde. But this time, when I heard that Wang Qi had caused trouble outside, which made many ministers unhappy, and criticized him in the official articles, Princess Ningde brought cakes to see the emperor's brother, hoping to intercede for Wang Qi.
You haven't married me yet, but you are so careless. I don't know what kind of chaos the house will be like in the future.
Princess Ningde wrung her slender hands together and murmured in a low voice.
