After Yuan Keli was ordered to leave the palace, Zhu Youxiao summoned Hong Chengchou and Fu Zonglong again to give them a warning.
The first time Zhu Youxiao met Hong Chengchou, he felt that he had been cheated.
This was very different from the Hong Chengchou in his memory.
He had seen the portrait of Hong Chengchou many times, and his impression was not shallow.
Shouldn't he be a skinny old man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks?
Why does it look different now?
But if I take a closer look, I can see that the appearance is somewhat similar. The ancients will not deceive me. This person has to dress up. The age, clothing and hairstyle of this person are indeed very important.
If you are a good person, why do you have to wear braids? Do you think it will make you look better?
Instead of wearing fine silks and satins, you have to wear ragged clothes and coarse cloth. The most disgusting thing is that you have to wear a little hat to hold pig food.
In this situation, even if Pan An comes, you have to kneel down. Is this a human being?
"I asked you two to go to Liaodong to help Xiong Tingbi stabilize the situation outside the customs. You must remember your position clearly!"
"The generals and big families in Liaodong are now united to fight against the imperial court. I will take action soon. During this period, you cannot leave the city even a step. Keep an eye on Guangning and Liaoyang for me. Everything will be according to Xiong Tingbi's deployment."
"According to the order!"
A trace of disappointment flashed across Hong Chengchou's face, but because he lowered his head, others did not notice it. Zhu Youxiao was sitting on it and was condescending, and it was even less likely that he would notice it. He couldn't even see his face.
When the emperor just said that he would be appointed as governor, Hong Chengchou was extremely happy because he finally had the opportunity to show off his skills. As long as he made a difference in Liao affairs, he would be reused.
After all, a person like him will not be satisfied with a life of being a small official. His goal is to become a highly respected minister, and he wants to join the cabinet.
But he tried to think on the bright side. No matter he was the eldest or the second oldest, at least he was already the governor, right?
Now that you have reached this position, are you still afraid that you will not be able to achieve anything or make any achievements in the future?
"Hong Chengchou, I have another task for you!"
Hong Chengchou ignited another glimmer of hope, and immediately stepped forward, bowed and said:
"I am all ears!"
"At present, Monan Mongolia has become a mess. Jiannu also suffered heavy losses in the Shenyang battle, so there is nothing to fear. The pressure faced by Liaodong has been greatly reduced, and Xiong Tingbi can fully cope with it."
"Lin Danhan and Lao Nu are injured, but the three guards of Taining, Duoyan and Fuyu who are entrenched on the border of western Liaoning are intact. I don't want this balance to be broken."
"If these three guards take advantage of the situation and attack Monan in an attempt to integrate those tribes, the current chaos of the Mongolian tribes in Monan will definitely not be stopped. In the end, one will wax and wane, and the three guards will become the confidants of my Ming Dynasty.
Serious trouble."
"After you arrive in Liaoyang, immediately send envoys to negotiate with the leaders of the three guards. First of all, you must stabilize them. If they don't listen, then tell them directly. I will never let any guard dare to interfere in Monan's affairs.
he!"
"You don't need to worry about other things. Li Songping is enough for Liaoyang's military defense. You just need to take care of the government affairs."
After listening to what the emperor said, Hong Chengchou asked doubtfully:
"Excuse me, Your Majesty, are you ready to negotiate peace with the three guards?"
"Where does this talk of peace come from? The three guards, Fuyu, Taining, and Duoyan, belong to my Ming Dynasty. These three guards were established by Taizu. It seems that Aiqing needs to study hard."
Zhu Youxiao is going to be arrogant now. These Mongolians are tough but not soft. Whether you rely on words or money, you can only solve the problem in a short time.
Only by letting them know that the Ming army is ready to attack at any time will they sit down and discuss with you honestly.
If you don't have a strong army to back you up, no matter how much you say, others will just laugh at you with disdain.
When Li Chengliang was in power in Liaodong, wasn't he relying on his servants who were brave in battle and dared to fight and charge?
But what will happen after losing these servants? Who is Li Chengliang in Liaodong? He doesn't even dare to send troops to quell the chaos. He only dares to sit in his turtle shell and wait for death.
Hong Chengchou said quickly:
"What your Majesty said is true, but I was lying!"
"I have prepared three imperial edicts here. The content is to confer the title of marquis on the leaders of the three guards. When the time comes, you will ask the envoy to take them with them. I don't need to say more about the rest, right?"
"I understand!"
Hong Chengchou is also a person with outstanding abilities and a great personality. If he couldn't even understand this, then the others would have been dead long ago.
"Fu Zonglong, now you are the only right councilor in Guangning. I will leave all military and political matters to you. After you go, you only need to follow the steps and wait patiently for my orders."
"I understand!"
Fu Zonglong was also a capable minister, one of the few talents with both civil and military skills in the late Ming Dynasty. Unfortunately, like Yuan Keli, his reputation was not prominent in history.
One of the most interesting things about the late Ming Dynasty was that top-level ministers and generals like Sun Chuanting, Lu Xiangsheng, and Mao Wenlong, as well as traitors like Fan Wencheng, Ning Wanwo, and Wu Sangui, were all known to future generations.
Common men like Sun Chengzong and Shi Kefa, who are not worthy of their reputation, can also rely on their so-called fame to leave a name for future generations.
However, few people know about loyal ministers and good generals like Fu Zonglong, Zhu Xieyuan, Man Gui, and Shen Yourong who also have the ability to govern the country and quell chaos.
"I would like to remind you once that when you arrive in Liaodong, you must strictly follow Xiong Tingbi's arrangements. If there is any violation that leads to failure, I will not show mercy!"
These words were meant for Hong Chengchou. Fu Zonglong was relieved. He was worried about Hong Chengchou. He was afraid that this guy would ruin his own affairs in his eagerness to make meritorious deeds.
This was not a peaceful person to begin with, but now he is in his prime, and he must be thinking about doing something big.
Moreover, in history, he often disobeyed orders both openly and secretly. When he was working under Yang He, the governor of the three sides, he often disobeyed orders, and Yang He was punished by Emperor Chongzhen for this.
Fu Zonglong and Hong Chengchou vowed to abide by the imperial order, but who knows what will happen next. After all, meritorious service is something that everyone with ideas thinks about.
Even losers like Yuan Yingtai and Wang Huazhen dream of one day establishing great achievements, let alone these people with real talents.
"I will order a guard with a banner to accompany you out of the customs and act as a guard."
"After arriving in Guangning, Fu Zonglong, you immediately read out the imperial decree and ordered Wang Huazhen to return to the capital to report his duties. After handing over the affairs, immediately ask the Jin Yiwei to bring him back. Don't delay!"
Fu Zonglong bowed his hands and said:
"I obey the decree!"
After the two came out of the palace, Zhu Youxiao sat on the throne and began to think deeply.
The national destiny of the Ming Dynasty finally began to change, and the fate of the Han people also changed accordingly. The old slaves could no longer make trouble as they had in history.
