"Hahaha, our Ming Dynasty can still be saved... we can still be saved..."
For half an hour, Yuan Ke asked more than a dozen questions on his feet, including the situation in the government, party struggles, why he was elected, etc.
After asking, Yuan Keli stood in the middle hall and laughed first, then shed tears while laughing.
With his wisdom, outsider status, and some inside information provided by Fang Jun, it is not difficult to see Chongzhen's intentions.
Fang Wen watched quietly without urging, and his heart was filled with emotion.
As the emperor's absolute confidants, they do not know His Majesty's true intentions, but based on what His Majesty has done so far, they definitely want to revive the Ming Dynasty.
After a while, Yuan Keli calmed down: "Fang Wen, please return to Beijing immediately and tell His Majesty that I will leave for Xi'an Mansion immediately. I will live up to His Majesty's trust."
"Master Yuan, there's no rush. I'm just following His Majesty's order to come to see you on a starry night. The imperial decree is expected to arrive at noon tomorrow. It won't be too late for you to set off after receiving the imperial decree. Make some preparations now."
"Okay, I'm happy today, so I'll have a drink with you."
When the sun rose the next day, a burst of rapid horse hoofbeats rang out from a distance. The guards at the gate of Suizhou County looked at each other and saw the vigilance in their eyes.
The city gate guard waved his hand, and the city gate quickly closed. A dozen guardsmen stared at the rapidly approaching team with long bows and full moons.
"Someone, get off your horse and get checked!"
When the cavalry arrived in front of the city gate, the leader threw a token to the gate guard: "Hanlin has ordered Wu Wen to quickly open the city gate and lead us to the residence of Lord Yuan Keli."
The city gate guard glanced at the token, and then at a cavalry group of more than ten people. He saw a middle-aged man behind the leader wearing a black flying fish suit, and a dozen men behind him all wearing bright armor.
This kind of clothing is standard for Jin Yiwei. If you dare to impersonate Jin Yiwei and go to Mr. Yuan, you are really seeking death.
There was no doubt immediately, and with a wave of his right hand, the city gate slowly opened, and the gate guard mounted a horse at the city gate.
"My lords, you are not allowed to gallop on horseback in the city."
Wu Wen looked at the clean and tidy streets, the walking people, and the street vendors. Although most of them were wearing ordinary clothes or even patches, everyone had a smile on their face.
Occasionally, horses and carriages pass by on the street, and the speed is extremely slow. If there are pedestrians in front, they will wait for the pedestrians to leave before leaving.
They are considered to have seen the world. This kind of scene is simply unimaginable in other counties and cities, and even the Beijing city under the emperor's feet can't do it.
"The folk customs in your Suizhou County are quite simple."
"Mr. Wu, you were taught well by Mr. Yuan. Our county magistrate is Mr. Yuan's student. Many of the rules and ideas in this city were proposed by Mr. Yuan. Although our Suizhou County is a little poor, the people Live and work in peace and contentment.”
The group of people rode horses very conspicuously on the street. Listening to the conversation, the people passing by also became interested, and hundreds of people followed slowly.
A quarter of an hour later, the group arrived at Yuan Keli's residence. Yuan Keli, who had already received the news, was waiting in front of the courtyard with his family members.
"Yuan Keli accepts the order!"
The people who accepted Hanlin's decree entered Yuan Keli's house and immediately shouted loudly.
Yuan Keli and all his family members knelt down.
"The emperor was entrusted with the destiny of heaven, and he said: Since ancient times, emperors have relied on the strength of their teachers and military ministers to stabilize the world. Yuan Keli has been a clean and honest man, a loyal minister of all ages, a noble character, strong and strong, and his ambition cannot be shaken, and his heart cannot be moved by great temptations. He returns to the court in his original position. ,
In addition, a scholar of Zhongji Palace and Minister of the Ministry of War came to Shaanxi to take charge of disaster relief matters. After the disaster relief was completed, he joined the cabinet to participate in machine maintenance. I appreciate this! "
PS: There are three types of imperial edicts, one is the imperial edict, the second is the system, and the third is the imperial edict. The imperial edict is used to announce the important decisions of the court to the world; the imperial edict is used to declare the emperor's favor, and it is used by all officials, no less than the common people; The imperial edict means to warn and guard against arrogance and impetuosity.
"I accept the order to express my gratitude, and I will definitely live up to your majesty's trust."
Yuan Keli raised his hands above his head to receive the edict, then placed the edict on the altar table in the nave and thanked him again.
The person who conveyed the decree had a somewhat strange attitude towards Yuan Keli. After all, this big boss resigned three months ago and resolutely resigned and went into seclusion. Why is he so happy now?
"Come here, serve tea!"
"Mr. Yuan Ge, there is no need for tea. I have to go back to resume my duties. Please make preparations and set off as soon as possible. The others have already set off from Beijing. They will investigate first and then meet up at Xi'an Mansion.
Your Majesty explains that you have the right to act expeditiously on all matters in Shaanxi.
Also, this is a summary of the situation of disaster victims and civil unrest in Shaanxi. You can check it on the road. "
"In addition, this is Cui Ming, the general banner of Jinyiweiqian, who is responsible for escorting you to Xi'an Mansion."
Wu Wen pointed at Cui Ming, the commander-in-chief of the Imperial Guard, standing in the courtyard wearing a black flying fish suit.
Yuan Keli nodded.
The decree that should be conveyed was also conveyed, and what should be explained was also explained. Wu Wen immediately took the two of them and left.
Seeing Wu Wen leaving, Yuan Keli waved his hand and a servant left. After a while, a dilapidated carriage entered the yard: "Mr. Cui Qi, let's go."
Cui Ming was a little confused and said in surprise: "Mr. Ge, aren't you ready?"
"What should I prepare? I'm going to provide disaster relief, not for fun. It's enough to bring two sets of clothes, a few books to kill time on the road, and a servant to take care of my food and daily life."
"Mr. Yuan, congratulations on joining the cabinet!"
"Your Majesty has long said that with your talent, the imperial court will not let you become an official easily. You see, you have only been resting for three months and the imperial court has allowed you to join the cabinet."
When Cui Ming was about to speak, a young man wearing a black gauze hat and cyan uniform with an embroidered chest came into the courtyard.
"Zifang, now and then, there is a drought in Shaanxi, hundreds of thousands of people are displaced, and there are civil unrest in countless places. I can't even think about it."
Yuan Keli sighed, it was one thing not to let go of the victims.
Suppressing the party struggle and conquering Guangning are matters related to the national destiny of the Ming Dynasty. This is his lifelong wish. As the organizer of the tripartite strategy, he must personally participate.
"Zifang, I will go to Shaanxi immediately. You have to take care of Suizhou County."
"Don't worry, Mr. Ge, I will strictly implement the policy set by you. Next time you come back, Suizhou will be better."
"good!"
Yuan Keli nodded with satisfaction and said to Cui Ming: "Mr. Cui Qi, let's go!"
The carriage slowly drove out of the courtyard. Outside the courtyard, there were already people standing outside who had received the news. They were old or young, poor or rich.
But the expression on everyone's face was extremely solemn, and hundreds of people gathered together without making the slightest sound.
