When the Japanese asked Li Wanjiang to do something, Li Wanjiang had to ask Xiao Chen.
In short, this is what happened, and this is what the situation is. Please Xiao Chen, dear, please put the overall situation first and put aside your prejudices against Japanese people for the time being, so that you can relieve my worries.
I don’t care what method you use, but you must make Wanyan Pingqiu withdraw from Gao Juli within one month!
My dear, are you following the decree, following the decree, or following the decree?
Xiao Chenxin said, do I have any other choice besides obeying the order? Looking at your affectionate attitude towards me, Your Majesty, I'm afraid that if I dare to resist the decree and disrespect you, I will be killed immediately!
Why are you attacking Tianxuanhui, but using my head as a sacrifice to the flag? Is it ridiculous?
"I obey the order!" Xiao Chen first obeyed the order, "But I reserve my opinion on this matter."
"I knew you would live up to my expectations, dear!" Li Wanjiang was overjoyed and came to take another bite of fish.
"It's just that Li Renzong may not be able to explain it well. He came to see the emperor with great joy, but..." Xiao Chen took a bite of fish and sighed.
"Let him come to see me tomorrow. I will talk to him personally. Now we and the Japanese jointly manage Gao Juli. I will naturally order people to take good care of him. Let him be the king of Gao Juli. In addition, every year I There are also rewards." In the eyes of Li Wanjiang and the Japanese people, Li Renzong was just a puppet who could be manipulated at will.
After talking about big things, it’s time to talk about small things. Aiqing was assassinated frequently in Yanyun County, so I was extremely worried. Fortunately, Aiqing is blessed with good fortune and is safe and sound, which makes me feel very relieved. If it can’t be done, I will let you go. Zhu Xiaochuan sent Jin Yiwei to protect Aiqing, otherwise I would really be worried.
Xiao Chen said that the emperor should not worry about this. I can still handle the small assassin, but the assassin who went to assassinate me last time came from Hongmei Temple. Although his identity is unknown, it can be seen that the defense in the palace is If you are relaxed, please be careful and pay attention to it.
The next step was naturally to ask about the development of Yanyun County. Xiao Chen reported them one by one. Li Wanjiang was very pleased and said that I love you, you are really capable. In just three years, Yanyun County has been reorganized so well. Not only has it reached In order to be self-sufficient, I heard there is still a surplus? It’s really hard work and great results.
Xiao Chenxin said that your emperor and the Ministry of Household Affairs have nothing to lose. What will we do if we are not self-sufficient? As for the surplus, there is indeed a surplus. Why do you want it, Your Majesty? If you want it, just say it. How will I know you want it if you don't say it? It’s impossible for you to want me but not give it to you. If you don’t want it but I insist on giving it to you, you don’t really want it, right?
"My dear, I want to make you the Marquis of Yanyun. What do you think?" However, the emperor's status is much higher than that of Xiao Chen. Not only did he not ask for money or things, but he was also prepared to set a precedent for him by granting him the title. The eunuch is a Hou!
It's just that Xiao Chen can't swallow this big piece of cake, and he doesn't have such a good appetite!
I almost vomited when I heard it...
Your Majesty, aren't you so disgusting?
Isn't it interesting for you to play with people like this? Firstly, you know that I don’t dare to accept it, and secondly, even if I accept the decree without mercy, Chen Wenqi and the others will still crush me to death with their impeachment memorial?
In fact, there was no need for them to impeach at all, the Ministry of Rites simply dismissed it.
It's rare for our monarchs and ministers to meet each other, can't we all have a frank and honest chat? And can you please let me finish this meal calmly? I have knelt down on you three times in a short while. If you don’t mind, I am so annoyed!
Seeing that Xiao Chen was sincere and even angrily refused his good intentions, Li Wanjiang no longer forced him, but just sighed quietly and said, "Actually, with your merits, I can make you the king." It’s not too much. Since you insist and I can’t force you, I’ll give you the title of First Class Loyal and Brave General.”
The title of a first-class loyal and brave general is not low. Generally, only generals who have followed Li Wanjiang through life and death and made countless military exploits have this honor.
For example, Wu Zhongze and Wu Zicheng are both first-class loyal and brave generals, but this is just a false title. Others think that the ancestors are proud of their ancestors and the ancestral graves are smoking, but Xiao Chen thinks it is nothing!
Still refused to give up.
Li Wanjiang had no choice but to settle for the next best thing and made him a second-class loyal and brave general. Xiao Chen accepted it without hesitation.
But it felt as if I had eaten a fly.
Because Li Wanjiang's reward is not so easy to receive.
"I am attacking Yizhou this time to eliminate all evil!" As expected, Li Wanjiang began to ask for more after giving him. "But Yizhou is not small, and the Tianxuanhui rebels are extremely stubborn, so I thought that this war might still be necessary. If this continues for a period of time, the money in our national treasury may not be able to sustain it."
After saying that, he sighed and stared lovingly at his beloved Xiao Chen.
Dear Sir, please express your opinion. Although I, Yanyun County, are currently living in a very difficult situation, I am also having a very difficult time. But no matter how difficult it is for me, how can it be as difficult as you, the Emperor?
Therefore, I decided to ask Yanyun's officials, as well as local people, to tighten their belts, fight against the wind and snow, and fully support the emperor's crusade against Yizhou!
After all, I still know which one is big and which is small, which one is light and which is important.
After I returned, I immediately allocated a batch of sugar, canned food, dried fish, and dried meat.
In addition, there are some mules and horses, some armor, weapons and ammunition from the Russians that were captured last time, as well as 200 tiger-headed crossbows invented by the minister himself, and one million taels of silver!
Li Wanjiang was overjoyed when he heard this. My dear, you can understand my bird's feelings! He took the initiative to offer me so many urgently needed supplies without me having to ask. He is such a considerate and wonderful person... My dear, please take another bite of fish and talk while you eat, I like to listen to you.
Xiao Chenxin said, "Why are you still not satisfied?"
Yes, his factories were making huge profits, and even Gong Shouli knew about it. Someone as perceptive as the Emperor must have been thinking about it for a long time. The reason why he never mentioned it was because he was waiting for this time to take advantage of him!
"I did have a little surplus this year, but it was all used to build roads. Your Majesty, you don't know how much money it costs to build roads. Millions of taels of money were invested to only build a small amount... I will go back and build a small amount..." Think of a way to see if you can raise another five hundred thousand taels to give to the emperor." Xiao Chen was extremely embarrassed and frowned.
"My dear, you know my hardships, and I also know your hardships. I don't want this money from you. It's a temporary loan. When our treasury is full, I will pay it back to you with interest! But now I really I am in urgent need of money. My dear, you must help me no matter what this time. One and a half million is too little..." Li Wanjiang said.
Li Wanjiang has reached this point, what else can Xiao Chen do? I can only grit my teeth and stomp my feet and risk it all. Three million taels is enough, right? I'll do it as soon as I get back.
I don’t cry about my poverty and I don’t emphasize my difficulties, because Your Majesty also said that you know that I am in difficulty, so what nonsense do I say!
What's the use of saying it? Anyway, you don’t care about the life and death of my Yanyun County!
Dear, please eat fish again...
