Chapter 190 The teacher takes command and the students contribute
Wanli was deeply impressed by Yang Hao, because he almost issued an order to kill Yang Hao, and it was the chief assistant Zhao Zhigao who had pleaded with Yang Hao, so Wanli dismissed Yang Hao and asked him to wait for verification.
Later, it was the imperial concubine who spoke to Yang Hao and a memorial to the minister and said good things to Yang Hao. Only then did Wanli allow Yang Hao to regain the reign of the governor of Liaodong.
But after Yang Hao took office, he sent troops to destroy the Mongolian flower-fried tribe. He had a stale relationship with the Liaodong general Ma Gui. The censors kept impeaching him. Wanli was not going to punish Yang Hao for causing trouble. Unexpectedly, Yang Hao returned to his hometown by himself, which made Wanli very angry.
Yesterday, when Zhang Cheng, the eunuch on duty at the Sili Supervisor, was reading the court memorial to Wanli, Wanli once again heard Yang Hao's name.
The person who wrote the letter was a small official, Yang Sichang, the head of the Fujian Department of the Ministry of Revenue.
In his memorial, Yang Sichang mentioned that now that the Liao incident has resurfaced, the court needs an important official who is familiar with the Liao incident to take charge of the presidency. Looking at the current court, there is no one else except for the former Liaodong Governor Yang Hao.
Therefore, Yang Sichang requested the emperor to issue an edict to activate Yang Hao.
At that time, Wanli was not convinced, and even got bored. What he disliked the most in his life was the letter from his ministers. He thought that Yang Sichang was just a small minister in charge of the Ministry of Revenue. What qualifications are there to give guidance to state affairs and what qualifications are there to recommend ministers?
I originally wanted to issue an order to reprimand, but Zhang Cheng said that Yang Sichang was the son of Yang He and the father and son were both Jinshi, which was a rare story in this dynasty.
Moreover, although Yang Sichang's memorial was arbitrarily discussing state affairs, there was nothing wrong with what he said. If he issued an order to scold him, he would probably make the outside court noise instead.
Wanli thought about it, so he didn't care about this anymore. After that, he drafted an order to ask Huang Jiashan to replace Xue Sancai, who resigned, to succeed to the Minister of War.
Zhang Cheng asked who was in charge of Liaodong, but Wanli did not answer.
Later, the Imperial Concubine came to serve her husband with medicine. Cui Wensheng, the eunuch who was in charge of the Imperial Pharmacy, has been serving the emperor with the Imperial Concubine in the past few months, which is a hard work.
After taking the medicine, Wanli hammered his legs and feet with some reluctance, and said to the imperial concubine and Cui Wensheng: "I am so sick that I am so fast and powerful. I have never been bedridden for several months in decades."
"Your Majesty, don't worry, and don't be anxious. If you concentrate on taking medicine, the pain will disappear." The imperial concubine comforted her husband and signaled Cui Wensheng to pack up and leave.
"Shouning asked someone to send a message saying that she wanted to go to the palace to visit His Majesty." The imperial concubine whispered.
"Does she want to see when I will die?"
Wanli snorted, and when he thought of this daughter who had lost all his face, Wanli felt really uncomfortable.
This matter is said to be light because the princess is ungrateful, which is confusing to the traitor. It is said to be heavy but it is because of the golden branches and jade leaves. Don’t be ashamed to commit adultery with others!
Although Wanli endured the anger against his conscience because of money, he did not want to see Shouning again. Since the incident, Shouning has been in half under house arrest. The gate of the princess's mansion can be left, but she cannot get out of the city gate of the capital.
Wanli was also afraid that the girl Shouning would be cruel and elope with her children to meet Wei Liangchen. Wei Liangchen's baby got the mother and son of Shouning, and then he became unwilling to return the money he had gone to sea. Wanli was in vain.
"Look at what your father said. How could children in the world look forward to their father's death..." The imperial concubine complained a few times, knowing that this was not what she said to Shouning, so she didn't mention this.
"I have been very tired these days." Wanli sighed.
"For the Jiannu's affairs?" the imperial concubine asked casually.
Wanli nodded: "The Ministry of War has proposed a plan to transfer troops, but the Ministry of Revenue said there was no money. Mr. Fang refused to stand up because of his son's affairs a while ago. I am still..."
"When soldiers come and generals come and stop the water and soil flood, and when Jiannu is in chaos, he will send someone to deal with them. He will ask him to do the military affairs and money affairs." said the imperial concubine.
Wanli smiled bitterly and said, "It's simple, who can I send to clean up?"
"Let Xiao Wei go."
The imperial concubine almost blurted out, "He has money and personal troops. He went to sea to fight the Taiwanese barbarians, and even more powerful in fighting Japanese pirates. I also heard that he had fought with Jiannu twice in Liaodong and won both of them. Isn't it a trivial matter to call him back and pacify Jiannu?"
"What you said is really easy. This is not my private matter, but a state matter." Wanli shook his head. Even if the imperial concubine said it was right, he could not call Wei Liangchen back.
First of all, Wei Liangchen did a good job in Japan, and the money he had made was filial to Daou, so that Wanli no longer had to worry about not having private money.
Secondly, Wei Liangchen was in the name of eunuchs. He was able to supervise the army, but he could not be the commander of the army. He could not pass this level of the court alone.
Seeing that the imperial concubine couldn't do it, she turned her eyebrows and said, "Then your Majesty is looking for someone."
"Who are you looking for?"
Wanli frowned and thought in his heart that there was still someone in the court who could go to Ping Jiannu. Just as he was thinking, he heard the imperial concubine say in his ears: "Isn't there anyone named Yang Hao?"
After hearing this, Wanli stared at the imperial concubine and looked at him carefully, and asked for a while: "How much money did you take Yang Hao?"
"Your Majesty is really wronged. I can't get the money from Yang Hao," the imperial concubine quickly defended her. "But Yang Hao is useful. Wasn't it just that she was the governor of Liaodong just to destroy a Mongolian tribe for the court?"
"It's something."
Wanli couldn't help but think about what Yang Sichang said in the previous letter that now the imperial concubine also said that Yang Hao is available, should he be re-activated?
When the imperial concubine saw her husband being moved, she thought of the boy's explanation and said with a chance: "Your Majesty, I heard that Yang Hao is Xiao Wei's teacher, and Xiao Wei's name is given by Yang Hao."
"Oh, is there something wrong? What word did you take?" Wanli was surprised. He didn't know about it.
"It seems that it is called the Qing Dynasty." The imperial concubine said.
Wanli said "hmm", and the people who were secretly inserted by the Jinyiwei were once reported that Yang Hao and Wei Liangchen had a close past when they were in Liaodong, and that there were Yang Hao's old subordinates in Wei Liangchen's imperial army. Last year, when Wei Liangchen fought with the two white flags in Liaodong and Jianzhou, Yang Hao's old subordinate Shang Bozhi led the army.
Wanli didn't care about these things.
But now that these are combined, it seems that Yang Hao is destined to quell the Liao incident for him, the emperor.
The words of the Imperial Concubine finally made Wanli determined to use Yang Hao. The Imperial Concubine said that since Yang Hao was Wei Liangchen's teacher, then the teacher led the army to fight for Pingnu, would the students have to pay some military pay?
According to Wanli's understanding of the eunuchs below, he usually gets seven, and eunuchs get three.
Therefore, Wei Liangchen had money.
If we can solve the problem without allocating money from the internal treasury, why not do it?
The next day, Wanli, who made up his mind, heard Yang Hao's name from the chief minister Fang Congzhe. So, after the Nine Ministers and the Ministry of War, Yang Hao became the governor of Liaodong, and the other officials also issued an edict. Including the order of the Governor-General Wang Keshou to leave the pass first, acting as the governor of Liaodong Li Weihan, the governor of Baoding, the governor of Yizhou, the censor Chen Wangting inspected Liaodong on behalf of Yang Yigui, and the abolished general Li Rubai to general Liaozhen, and the abolished general Dusongtun Shanhaiguan, Liu Jing, Chai Guozhu and others went to Beijing to listen to it.
In addition to these imperial edicts sealed by the Sili, there is also a secret edict.
This secret order was sent to Japan, and the emperor ordered the eunuch Wei Liangchen, the eunuch who supervised the army, to quickly lead the army back to China to participate in the quelling of the rebellion.
