After Hong Chengchou left, Zhao Wu carried a kettle and filled the teapot with hot water for Liu Heng to drink from.
At the same time, he said: "My lord, if you suddenly promoted Hong Chengchou to such a high position, wouldn't you attach too much importance to him? This person was demoted after all."
"This further shows that the Tiger Character Banner attaches great importance to the demoted officers and generals who came to surrender in the Ming Dynasty." Liu Heng said, "Although our army can capture every place it goes, it is naturally better if the enemy can take the initiative to offer the city. but."
Zhao Wu, who was holding a teapot in his hand, said: "My lord, you want to buy horse bones for a thousand dollars. Hong Chengchou is the bone left by the thousand-mile horse."
"That's right." Liu Heng nodded with a smile, and then said, "Is there another reason for letting him go to Henan as chief envoy?"
Zhao Wu looked puzzled.
Just listen to Liu Heng continue to say: "This man has unique insights in military affairs. He went to Henan to be the chief envoy. He can not only assist Deputy Director Li in people's livelihood, but also in military affairs. Such a talent is not the same as the Ming Dynasty." It’s rare to see him, and it would be a waste if I keep him by my side as a consultant.”
"What if, my subordinate said it was just in case, let him out, what if he secretly communicates with the Ming Dynasty court? After all, this person used to be a high official of the Ming Dynasty." Zhao Wu expressed his worries.
However, after hearing this, Liu Heng smiled and said: "Hong Chengchou's family is all in Datong. Secondly, there is a set of internal monitoring methods. If he colludes with the court, he cannot hide it. And I believe he is smart. People don’t do stupid things.”
"Even if he does not collude with the court, the local officials of the Tiger Flag in Henan may not be convinced by him. In any case, this person surrendered from the Ming Dynasty court." Zhao Wu said.
Liu Heng, who heard this, said: "It depends on his ability. If he cannot secure his position as chief envoy, then he will have no choice but to come back and continue to serve as my consultant."
He said this, but he believed that with Hong Chengchou's skills, it was impossible to deal with even the officials of the Tiger Flag who had only been trained for a few years.
Li Shuheng came back faster than expected.
That afternoon, he rushed to Datong Town and met Liu Heng.
Liu Heng directly set up a banquet at the main town office to welcome Li Shuheng, and at the same time introduced Hong Chengchou to him.
The next day, Li Shuheng rejected Liu Heng's idea of taking a day's rest in Datong, and immediately rushed to Henan with Hong Chengchou.
At this time, the Tiger-Character Banner army in Henan has entered Huaiqing Mansion and begun to attack Huaiqing Mansion. At the same time, another army has opened the way to Kaifeng and cooperates with the Tiger-Character Banner army in Nanyang Mansion to attack you. The state takes action.
Most of Henan was caught in the flames of war.
As the governor of Henan, Yang He led the 5,000 troops gathered from various guards in Henan and the new army of 3,000 people to rush to Qing Mansion, hoping to hold back the invading Tiger Banner army in Huaiqing Mansion.
As the governor of Henan, Yan Weiqi led another army of three thousand soldiers and horses and stationed in Xiangcheng, turning a blind eye to the Tiger-Character Banner army in Nanyang.
Let the Tiger Banner army attack Ruzhou, and even if they received a request for help from Ruzhou, they would still be unable to retreat in Xiangcheng.
News of the fall of the two vassal palaces in Henan was quickly spread back to the capital.
After receiving the news, Zhu Youjian was so angry that he didn't even eat lunch, and immediately asked people to find all the cabinet ministers.
Shi Minlai has left the cabinet. Now the first assistant of the cabinet has become Li Guopu, and the second assistant is Lai Zongdao.
Zhu Youjian, who was worried about the war in Henan, had not had a good rest for several days and had lost several pounds.
With two dark circles under his eyes, he met with several cabinet ministers in the Qianqing Palace.
"The war in Henan makes me worried and even more disappointing. The whereabouts of the two vassal kings are so unknown. Should I have an explanation from my dear friends?" With that, Zhu Youjian put a memorial on the table. Thrown to the ground.
The first assistant, Li Guopu, bent down and picked up the memorial. After opening it, he read the contents and handed it to the second assistant, Lai Zongdao.
The memorial passed through the hands of several cabinet ministers and finally returned to Wang Chengen's hands.
Wang Chengen put the memorial back on the dragon case.
Zhu Youjian, who was sitting behind the dragon case, picked up the tureen on the table, brought it to his mouth and took a sip of the tea inside.
He was so anxious these days that he got angry and had several sores in his mouth.
Chief Assistant Li Guopu said: "Not long after Yang He arrived in Henan, I thought that it wouldn't be long before the situation in Henan would turn around."
"Well, I'll give Yang He another chance." Zhu Youjian said with a serious expression.
At the same time, he also felt that Yang He had appointed him as the governor of Henan. If he dismissed the other party as the governor of Henan now, he would lose face, so he was prepared to give Yang He some more time.
And write it down in your mind.
If Yang He is still unable to reverse the situation in Henan after some time, he will let the other party know what the emperor's thunderous wrath is.
"Your Majesty, your Majesty," Li Guopu bowed.
At this time, Cifu came to Zongdao and said: "Your Majesty, what happened in Henan can be explained by Yang He's first arrival in Henan, but if something happens to Fu Fan and Tang Fan, someone needs to bear the responsibility, otherwise other people in Henan will be killed next time." No one in the vassal vassal takes it seriously, I think someone must be responsible for the affairs of the two vassal kings."
After hearing this, Li Guopu glanced at Zongdao with an ugly expression.
Naturally, he knew in his heart that the other party still remembered the dispute over the governor of Henan.
Zhu Youjian, who was behind the Long Case, thought for a while and said, "Who do you think should be responsible for this matter?"
"Your Majesty." Li Guopu stood up and interrupted Zhu Youjian's words, only to hear him continue, "I believe that the top priority in Henan right now is not to hold anyone accountable, but to make concerted efforts to deal with the rebels in Henan. After the military, it will not be too late to hold anyone accountable."
"The first assistant's words are wrong." Lai Zongdao retorted, "The more the situation in Henan, the more clearly the rewards and punishments must be clearly defined in the affairs of Fu Fan and Tang Fan. Otherwise, everyone will not take it seriously, and who will do their best to deal with it?" Rebels in Henan.”
Zhu Youjian, who was sitting behind Long An, nodded.
After all, Fu Fan and Tang Fan were both clans, especially Fu Fan, who was his uncle. As an emperor, he would never let such a big event as the loss of the vassal in Henan go unchecked.
This is related to the majesty of the Zhu family royal family and must not be lost.
"Your Majesty, I still think..."
However, before Li Guopu finished speaking, he heard Zhu Youjian say: "Needless to say, my beloved, the loss of the feudal lordship must not be left unchecked. Since Yang He can't move, let's escort the governor of Henan back to Beijing. I remember that he had As an official in Henan, he cannot escape responsibility for the loss of the feudal vassal."
"Governor of Henan Yan Weiqi was the chief envoy of Henan before. He was promoted to governor of Henan only after the former governor Guo Zengguang was arrested in the capital." Lai Zongdao did not forget to give Li Guopu eye drops.
The person was recommended by Li Guopu, and now something happens, it means there is something wrong with the person recommended by Li Guopu.
