Chapter 191 The old man is about to go into the wild

The reason why Wanli repeatedly urged Wei Liangchen to lead his troops back to the country to participate in the quelling of the rebellion was because of Yang Hao's advice.

After being appointed as the Liaodong Straitor, Yang Hao immediately went to Beijing to take office. On the day after arriving in Beijing, he brought the memorial prepared more than a year ago to the palace to meet the emperor.

When Yang Hao arrived, the new Minister of War Huang Jiashan was also there, and there was also Ma Tang, the eunuch of the Silijian.

Bingbi Ma Tang was planning to submit the imperial edict. Just now, Wanli ordered the mediocre Liaodong Governor Li Weihan to be demoted to the people and sent Zhou Yongchun, the young minister of Taichang Temple, to be the governor of Liaodong.

Zhou Yongchun has a good story. He has been smart since childhood and loves reading. He often reads at night with lights and stays all night. His mother felt sorry for him and did not allow him to do so. Zhou Yongchun used cloth to form a tent to block the light.

How could he not make great progress in his studies? Therefore, Zhou Yongchun ranked first in the children's examination and passed the exam for scholars. Li Hualong, the assistant chief of the Censor of the Censorate who was responsible for the affairs of Shandong Province at that time, praised him and said, "This person is a phoenix."

After Zhou Yongchun passed the imperial examination, he first served as the magistrate of Hongdong County, Shanxi, and later promoted to the position of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the Taichang Temple, and worked hard as an official.

Former Liaodong Governor Li Weihan was incompetent and insisted on appeaseing Jiannu without considering actual threats, which led to today's disaster. Wanli issued an order to withdraw. When the court discussed the successor, Fang Congzhe recommended Zhou Yongchun to Wanli and immediately took office.

In addition to the personnel change of the governor of Liaodong, Wanli also made arrangements for the military generals in the border town. The former Ningxia general, Li Rubai, who was now deposed at home, served as the general of Liaodong, responsible for the main suppression. The abolished general Du Song served as the general of Shanhaiguan, Ma Lin served as the general of Kaiyuan, Wang Ding served as the general of Baoding, and another eight hundred miles ordered the veteran Liu Qi to rush to Liaodong to serve in Sichuan.

The transfer of troops and horses was generally based on the request of the Ministry of War. After carefully reading the plan for the dispatch, Wanli supported his body to lean against the bed and asked to record the Ma Tang. The Ministry of Rites consulted North Korea and ordered it to send troops to fight against Jiannu.

"Your Majesty, is it an order?" Ma Tang was surprised by the words of the emperor.

"make."

Wanli looked at Ma Tang unhappily, "I have the kindness of recreation for North Korea, and the country has been my vassal for more than two hundred years of my Ming Dynasty. If there were no me, there would be no North Korea. Could it be that I would not be able to do so?"

“Yes, yes.”

Ma Tang dared not say anything more.

Huang Jiashan, who was on the other hand, heard the emperor's attitude towards North Korea, didn't realize that something was wrong. The current treasury is empty and even the recent rebellion in Jianzhou, Liaodong, are actually affected by the North Korean battle.

If the battle to aid Korea had consumed a million taels and killed more than half of the elite Liaodong soldiers, how could this happen today?

Although Huang Jiashan disagreed with his opinion on raising troops in the court, as the Minister of War, he still had to do his best, so he proposed whether the Ministry of Revenue could impose an additional tax on the money and add three cents and five milli per mu of land tax, which would earn more than two million taels. It is a definite name for "Liaobao".

When Wanli was about to talk about Liao Sheng, his stomach became riot and had to wave his hand to ask Huang Jiashan and Ma Tang to retreat temporarily.

Soon the palace servant brought the Gongguan to serve.

In the past few days, in addition to his dizziness, nausea, and exhaustion, difficulty in getting out of bed, Wanli also had diarrhea, which made the emperor lose weight.

The Imperial Concubine was extremely anxious. Cui Wensheng, the eunuch at the Imperial Pharmacy Bureau, and the people from the Imperial Hospital used medicines for the emperor several times, but they could not stop diarrhea.

Cui Wensheng privately told the imperial concubine that the emperor's diarrhea has nothing to do with what he eats, nor with the place where he lives. It is emotions that cannot be cured by medicine.

After hearing this, the imperial concubine was both panicked and afraid. The emperor had diarrhea and could not cure her. If she went on every day, who would know if she would die just now?

And that kid hasn't come back yet.

In desperation, the imperial concubine asked Cui Wensheng and the imperial physicians to try their best to treat the emperor, while on the other hand, they started what they had wanted to do but dared not do.

The original eunuch palace people in the Ganqing Palace were successively replaced by the imperial concubine because they failed to serve the emperor well.

When Yang Hao came over, Wanli had already finished his face, and he looked very painful. He should have stopped, but Yang Hao had just taken over as the Liaodong General to meet the Lord, so he would meet him no matter what.

"The Liao salary matters were handled by Huang Qing, as reported by the Ministry of Revenue."

Wanli first replied to Huang Jiashan about the Liao salary and asked him to do his own business. After Huang Jiashan left, Wanli thought for a while and ordered Ma Tang: "Transfer to me oral instructions that the Ministry of Revenue should do its best to handle Liao salary and not be careless at all."

"Yes, the emperor."

Ma Tang took the order and left, leaving only Yang Hao in the house.

Wanli had nothing to say about Yang Hao. He was sick again, so he symbolically said a few words, asking Yang Hao to let go after going to Liaodong and pacify Jiannu for the court as soon as possible.

"Your General is away, and you will not accept any orders. You, Yang Hao, are the manager, not the general but the general. I have entrusted all the affairs of Liaodong to you. You must not let me down as before."

After saying this, Wanli seemed to have run out of strength, his eyelids naturally sagged, and he was a little tired.

Seeing this, Yang Hao knew that the circulating outside of the emperor's serious illness was not a rumor. He did not dare to delay the emperor's rest, but there was no report, so he still said: "Report to Your Majesty, I am serving as the governor of Liaodong, but the troops to Liao are composed of various towns. Whether it is soldiers or officials, I am not very familiar with me. Therefore, I want to ask Your Majesty to send an order to recall the governor, maritime eunuch, Wei Liangchen, and instruct the emperor who led him to return to the country and be controlled by the ministers."

Wanli waved his hand and said, "I heard that you are Wei Liangchen's teacher."

Yang Hao hurriedly said, "Before Wei Liangchen approached the king to raise his parents, I liked his talent and accepted him as his disciple."

He paused, "I asked to transfer the imperial army of Wei Liangchen to return to China. Is it not that I have any selfish intentions? This imperial army is actually an elite, and has experience in confronting Jiannu, and is more familiar with Liaodong affairs, not like other towns. Therefore, if the imperial army can participate in the war, I will have a greater chance of winning."

Wanli, on the hospital bed, closed his eyes and pondered for a while, and approved what Yang Hao said. After that, he urged Wei Liangchen to return to the country with the Imperial Horse Supervisor.

After all, gold and silver are more heavier than state affairs.

Gold and silver can be obtained at any time, but if state affairs are broken, they cannot be cleaned up. Once they are corrupt, the gold and silver you invest in will be even more bottomless.

It is also the best way to prevent problems before they happen and let the imperial army under Wei Liangchen, who had defeated Jiannu twice, come back.

But after several secret decrees were sent to Japan, there was no reply from Japan. This made Wanli so angry that he scolded your bastard for being ungrateful and ungrateful in front of the concubine.

"He is not all about me today!"

The more Wanli thought about it, the more angry he became. His body was not very good, so he was bedridden again.

The imperial concubine saw it and paniced in her heart. After her husband fell asleep, she called Zi Yatou and handed her handwritten letter to Zi Yatou.
