In fact... to a large extent, Li Yuanqing could also understand Emperor Chongzhen's 'difficulties'.
As the emperor, the most important weapon of the military and the country, and his own country, Emperor Chongzhen could never treat it as a child's play.
The emperor rules the world with rules.
The emperor naturally also likes ministers who are obedient and can do practical things.
But how can it be possible to have the best of both worlds, to be all things considered, and to satisfy everyone's expectations in all things in the world?
Governor Yuan Mu Ran did this, and he cut off first and then played. Obviously, he didn't take the rules of his emperor too seriously.
If Emperor Chongzhen was not angry about this matter, Li Yuanqing would never believe it.
Especially with Emperor Chongzhen’s temperament, every flaw must be repaid!
Governor Yuan slapped him so hard on his little face that he almost wanted to peel off Governor Yuan's skin.
But the reason why he 'stayed in the middle but not published' was to reveal news that would benefit Governor Yuan. I'm afraid, more than 80% of the reasons are... he didn't want to slap himself in the face.
After all~, if Governor Yuan slapped his emperor in the face, both Emperor Chongzhen and Governor Yuan could find excuses to go to the banquet, at least maintaining their dignity.
But~, if he directly dealt with Governor Yuan in this way, or even captured Governor Yuan, wouldn't that mean that he, the emperor, would slap himself in the face?
Doesn't that mean...he is an unsage emperor?
There is even a problem...
Especially at this time, although Emperor Chongzhen had been on the throne for more than two years, had defeated Old Wei, successfully completed the previous defensive battle of the capital, and had basically determined the general trend of the world, the factions in the court were still far behind compared to the time of the late emperor.
, instead of decreasing, it has intensified.
Even more detailed regional distinctions have begun to appear.
In this state, if he personally takes away the Governor Yuan who he has brought up with one hand, then~~~, there will be an explosion in the government and the public?
Originally, this matter was not too peaceful, so wouldn’t it just ‘add fuel to the fire’?
Just like the famous saying of the 'XX' family in later generations: 'The road you choose must be walked on your knees.'
At this time~, Emperor Chongzhen only focused on the present, which is human nature, but what he probably didn't know was...'A lie often requires thousands of lies to make up for it.'
He made this small opening today, and after that, he will be like a young girl turning into a young woman. How can he expect that he will become tighter against the laws of nature?
To a certain extent, Emperor Chongzhen and Governor Yuan were truly a perfect match among perfect matches.
A person whose heart is higher than the sky and whose aspirations are deeper than the sea has never known what fear or awe is. He is best at walking a tightrope high in the sky against the wind.
But the other one is completely "I am the best in the world". Whatever I say and do, it must be correct.
Don't hit the wall and don't look back.
Even if he hits the wall, he still won't look back...
But~~, then again.
If Emperor Chongzhen is unparalleled in his sage and brilliance, he is a rare wise and generous emperor, and Governor Yuan is talented, humble, refined and forbearing, comparable to Yu Qian and Zhang Juzheng, then~~, what else can he do to Li Yuanqing in this world?
Especially~, at this time, the attitude shown by Emperor Chongzhen would be of great benefit to Li Yuanqing but not harmful at all...
At this time, Xiaolian also swept away the white tiles on the carpet, dumped the white tiles into the trash can, and was about to leave.
Unexpectedly, Li Yuanqing's big hand grabbed her small hand very skillfully and accurately, and pulled her into his arms.
The little girl who has been with Li Yuanqing since she was eleven or twelve years old. Ten years have passed and she has given birth to a son for Li Yuanqing. How come Xiaolian doesn't understand what Li Yuanqing is thinking?
Her little face couldn't help but turned red, and she murmured in a low voice: "Master..."
It seems that he is resisting shyness, but he wants to refuse but welcomes him.
Seeing that the little girl he personally trained and developed is now like this, how can Li Yuanqing still hesitate?
His big hands had already skillfully untied the belt around Xiaolian's waist, and he said with a smile: "I'm a little tired, please step on my back."
…………
After resting comfortably for more than an hour, at Shen Shichu, Li Yuanqing ordered his soldiers to recruit Shang Laoliu to the outer study room.
According to this situation, there should be no major changes in the direction of the court. Li Yuanqing must seize this good opportunity.
Shang Laoliu came over quickly.
Xiaolian, who had just been moisturized by Li Yuanqing's rain and dew, was obviously more beautiful and brighter. She personally served tea to Shang Laoliu. Li Yuanqing smiled and handed Shang Laoliu a cigar, "Brother Shang, how are you these days?"
Shang Laoliu took a puff of his cigar with a smile, "Yuan Qing, we have basically recovered. Now, we are just waiting for news from the court."
After a moment, Shang Laoliu also reacted and hurriedly whispered: "Yuan Qing, what's the matter? Is there any news from the capital?"
Li Yuanqing smiled and handed the secret report from Warehouse No. 3 to Shang Laoliu.
Shang Laoliu hurriedly opened it and checked it carefully, but after a while, his face turned red and he was obviously furious. He couldn't help but slapped the table hard with a "pop" sound, "
Yuan Qing, this, this, what the hell is this? If you co-authored it with Mao Shuai, Mao Shuai died in vain?"
Although Shang Laoliu has no real friendship with Mao Wenlong, after all these years, he can be regarded as being under Mao Wenlong's wing and has managed to survive today.
But~~, when Mu Ran saw the court's reaction to this matter, he~~ couldn't help it anymore and slapped the table in front of Li Yuanqing.
Li Yuanqing couldn't help but let out a long breath, "Brother Shang, although the official letter has not been sent, there is a high probability that this matter will not go away. The imperial court will most likely want to reconcile."
"I really want to fuck..."
Shang Laoliu finally took his identity into consideration and stopped talking in time, but after a moment, he also reacted and whispered: "Yuan Qing, this matter is a bad thing for Mao Shuai and Mao Shuai's family.
But~, for us, this may not be the case."
Li Yuanqing nodded slowly, "Brother Shang, your Political Affairs Office will plan this matter as soon as possible and come up with a plan. Also, Brother Shang, you immediately send someone to the capital to contact the Zhang family. Hmm...
...The gift should be heavier. Chengdou is the direct blood of the Marshal, that is, I, Li Yuanqing's brother. Contact them first and strive to bring them to the island within one or two years. As for Phi Island,
I'll keep an eye on it myself."
Of course Shang Laoliu understood what Li Yuanqing meant and nodded hurriedly: "Yuanqing, in terms of general situation, there are not many obstacles. I will make arrangements for the capital Chengdou right away."
Shang Laoliu left soon and went to his official room in the front yard.
Looking at the familiar figure of Shang Laoliu, Li Yuanqing's eyes couldn't help but narrow slightly.
Regarding this matter~, even Shang Laoliu reacted like this, not to mention those generals who had feelings for Mao Wenlong and Mao Wenlong was kind to them.
indeed.
Most of the people like Li Yuanqing and others who came from Dongjiang are poor and pure idiots with silky legs. Among the noble civil servants and the emperor's general situation, they are simply not worthy of carrying shoes.
But~, as the old saying of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty goes: "Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it!"
Without Li Yuanqing and his gang of lowly mud-legged people, struggling in the meanest and most arduous cold and muddy soup, how could the emperor's high-sounding court be as stable as it is now?
After forcing himself to drink a few sips of Kung Fu tea slowly and patiently, Li Yuanqing slowly calmed down his somewhat manic emotions.
In the past few days, Li Yuanqing had basically put everything in order in terms of military affairs.
He has personally inspected all the military camps one by one, and has basically completed individual conversations with the generals.
At this time, the sky outside was a little gloomy, as if it was going to snow, and there was still more than half an hour until dark. Going out at this time would be a bit troublesome, so Li Yuanqing simply calmed down and thought about the next step.
general trend and planning.
But Li Yuanqing had just asked Xiaolian to refill the tea cup with some hot water, and a soldier came quickly to report: "General, there has just been news from Divine Doctor Meng."
As the soldier said this, he hurriedly and respectfully handed a secret report into Li Yuanqing's hand.
Li Yuanqing opened it and scanned it. He couldn't help but be overjoyed. He hurriedly called to Yang Lei who was on duty outside the door and said, "Let's go to the secret room of warehouse No. 3."
"yes."
Yang Lei did not dare to neglect, and hurriedly called for Li Yuanqing's accompanying soldiers, quickly assembled, and accompanied Li Yuanqing to leave.
The position of commander of personal soldiers seems to be high and mighty, but in fact, the rigid requirements of this position are quite high.
It is even more rigorous and complicated than the personal secretaries of later generations of great leaders.
The reason why Mao Wenlong had an accident on the twin islands was because of problems with his security system. This was also an unavoidable factor.
indeed.
As Mao Wenlong's nephew, Mao Chengzuo was deeply supported and favored by Mao Wenlong, so he seemed to be the best candidate to lead the army.
But in fact~, after all, this kind of thing is not a superficial etiquette, it just looks good and takes care of the interests of all parties.
You know, "to raise an army for a thousand days, to use it for a while", to put it bluntly, but to put it more nakedly, why do the soldiers have such high treatment, and once they are decentralized, they will become the young officers?
Because they are the coach's personal followers and confidants, the coach knows them very well, and they are needed to block the loopholes at critical moments.
Mao Wenlong took care of all aspects of face, and there was no way Mao Chengzuo would betray him, Mao Wenlong.
It's a pity... With Mao Chengzuo's own qualities here, how can he be worthy of such reuse?
Of course, to a certain extent, Mao Chengzuo was unfairly blamed.
After all, no one would have thought that the dignified official of the imperial court, Governor Ji Liao, would do such a thing in his big tent.
To be continued...
