Chapter 722: Self-invitation to Liaodong

PS: Thanks to book friend Hua Xiaoyun for his reward.

Ye Xianggao hesitated for a moment before saying, "I have been the chief examiner of Wang Huazhen, and I am his teacher."

"I remember that he was promoted to the governor of Liaodong, and it was also your proposal for you, my dear." Tianqi said expressionlessly.

Wei Zhongxian next to him lowered his head and showed a sneer on his face.

He knew that Guangning's defeat made the emperor very dissatisfied, not only because of his dissatisfaction with Wang Huazhen, but also because of Ye Xianggao and the Donglin Party.

Ye Xianggao, who was kneeling on the ground, said respectfully: "Wang Huazhen's promotion to Liaodong Governor is a joint resolution of the Ministry of Personnel and the Cabinet."

In a word, he pushed Wang Huazhen's promotion to Liaodong governor to the Ministry of Personnel and other people in the cabinet.

Tianqi snorted coldly, turned around and walked towards the imperial case behind him.

Wei Zhongxian next to him raised his hand to support Tianqi.

After Apocalypse sat down, he stepped back two steps to one side and stood aside with his hands hanging down.

Ye Xianggao, who was kneeling on the ground, said, "Sir, Guangning was defeated, and the people of Liaodong were in panic. At this time, the ministers in the court should be sent to Liaodong to preside over the situation. We must not give the Later Jin a chance to capture Shanhaiguan."

"Who do you think is suitable to go to Liaodong?" Tianqi asked Xiang Ye Xianggao.

Ye Xianggao hesitated for a moment and said, "I think that Zhang Heming, the Minister of War, is the most suitable one."

"He?" Tianqi frowned slightly.

When Guangning was defeated, the Minister of War could not escape his responsibility.

Ye Xianggao continued: "Zhang Heming has the merit of pacifying Miao, and is a military minister. No one is more suitable than him."

The Apocalypse fingers slid back and forth on the imperial desk, showing contemplation.

Ye Xianggao, who was kneeling on the ground, said again: "Your Majesty, now that Guangning is defeated, only by sending important officials in the court to preside over the overall situation can people calm down. When the situation in Liaodong is stable, the court can choose another suitable candidate to go to Liaodong."

"Is it appropriate for Zhang Aiqing to go to Liaodong shortly after he took over as Minister of War? " Tianqi asked, then raised his right hand and said, "Get up!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Ye Xiang pressed his knees and stood up from the ground.

Wei Zhongxian, who was beside the imperial case, gave a wink at a young eunuch below.

The little eunuch walked over from the side, squatted on the ground, and began to pick up the memorials scattered on the ground.

Ye Xianggao bowed and said, "The Secretary of War should be responsible for the defeat of Guangning. Zhang Heming's trip to Liaodong can be regarded as a meritorious service."

Wei Zhongxian on the other side heard his explanation and secretly curled his lips, understanding that it was the civil servant's way of shirking responsibility.

At this moment, a little eunuch trotted in from outside, knelt down in front of the imperial case, and said respectfully: "Report to the Emperor, Lord Zhang, Minister of War, to see you."

Ye Xianggao was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect Zhang Heming to come to the palace so soon.

Apocalypse thought for a while and said, "Take him in!"

The little eunuch retreated.

Not long after, the little eunuch walked in from outside the hall with a civil servant in a red robe.

"My minister Zhang Heming kowtowed to Your Majesty." Zhang Heming knelt on the ground and knocked to the ground.

The Apocalypse said in a slight manner: "Get up!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Zhang Heming stood up.

Tianqi looked at Zhang Heming and said, "Zhang Aiqing is so anxious to see me, compared to the fact that it is for Liaodong, right?"

"Report to Your Majesty, when I heard the news of Guangning's defeat, I was immediately burned to death. I asked Your Majesty to allow me to serve as the governor of Liaodong and to be loyal to the whole country."

Ye Xianggao glanced at Zhang Heming with an unexpected look on his face.

He never expected that Zhang Heming would invite him to Liaodong at this time to accept the hot potato of Liaodong. He had thought that even if the imperial court issued an order, Zhang Heming would shirk it for various reasons and was unwilling to go to Liaodong.

If you go to Liaodong at this time, if you cannot suppress the situation, once you are captured by the Later Jin Dynasty, your crime will only be more serious than Xiong Tingbi and Wang Huazhen.

There is also Shanhaiguan behind Guangning, and there is no dangerous land behind Shanhaiguan, and it leads straight to the capital.

"You are going to Liaodong?" Tianqi looked up and down at Zhang Heming.

Before, he was considering whether Zhang Heming would go to Liaodong, but he didn't expect that Zhang Heming would take the initiative to go to Liaodong so soon.

Zhang Heming bowed and said, "Report to Your Majesty, I would like to go to Liaodong."

Tianqi looked at Ye Xianggao and said, "Just Ye was discussing with me who was the right person to send to Liaodong to preside over the overall situation. It happened to be mentioned to Zhang Aiqing. Ye Aiqing thought you are the most suitable person to go to Liaodong. Unexpectedly, Zhang Aiqing came by himself.

.”

Hearing this, Zhang Heming glanced at Ye Xianggao and his eyes shrank slightly.

Ye Xianggao looked at Zhang Heming and said, "Mr. Zhang is the Minister of War and an important official in the court. There is no more suitable candidate than Mr. Zhang."

Only then did Zhang Heming understand why Hui Shiyang and Zhou Chaorui insisted on recommending him, the Minister of War, to Liaodong to replace Xiong Tingbi, the position of governor of Liaodong, was Ye Xianggao.

Wei Zhongxian, who was standing next to the imperial case, secretly glanced at Ye Xianggao and Zhang Heming, almost laughed out loud, and decided in his heart that he would definitely contact Zhang Heming if he had the chance.

Tianqi nodded and said, "Since Zhang Aiqing himself asked to go to Liaodong, it is difficult for me to stop him. Zhang Aiqing will replace Liaodong's governor, and will be granted the title of Prince Taibao, and will be given a python garment and jade belt."

"I obey the order." Zhang Heming lifted his clothes and knelt on the ground.

Tianqi looked at Ye Xianggao and said, "The Cabinet is working on the order."

"I obey the order." Ye Xianggao bowed to Tianqi.

Tianqi looked at Zhang Heming again and said, "Although I did not visit Liaodong in person, I also knew that the situation in Liaodong was not good. Zhang Aiqing's trip to Liaodong represents the court and I, and I must not let the Later Jin conquer Shanhaiguan."

"I accept the order." Zhang Heming knelt on the ground and inserted his hands.

Wei Zhongxian next to him suddenly said, "Old Master, Lord Zhang is going to Liaodong this time. I am worried that someone among the generals below will be ordered by Lord Zhang to disobey the orders of Lord Zhang, so that Lord Zhang cannot stabilize Liaodong as soon as possible.

situation."

"Well, what you said makes sense." Tianqi nodded slightly.

Zhang Heming, who was kneeling on the ground, looked at Wei Zhongxian with a look of surprise.

I didn't expect Wei Zhongxian to speak for him.

Ye Xianggao on the other side was also shocked.

Logically speaking, Wei Zhongxian should have wished that Zhang Heming would be in trouble, so how could he speak for the other party in front of the saint? It was completely unreasonable.

Tianqi thought for a while and said, "Then I will give Zhang Aiqing the Sword. When all the civil and military officials in Liaodong saw this sword, if I came in person, Zhang Aiqing has the right to kill first and then report."

"I, thank you for your kindness." Zhang Heming kowtowed quickly.

Guangning was defeated, and he, the Minister of War, could not escape his responsibility, but now he has been granted the title of Prince Taibao, given a python garment and jade belt, and given a Shangfang sword. It can be said that he, the Liaodong governor, has great power, is far from Xiong Tingbi before.

Comparable.

Ye Xianggao glanced at Zhang Heming.

The emperor also gave Prince Zhang Heming the title of Prince Taibao, and gave the monk Fang Fang's sword with python cloak, jade belt, everything shows that the emperor attaches great importance to the situation in Liaodong.

"Okay, you all retreat!" Tianqi waved his hand and signaled that the two of them could leave.

Ye Xianggao bowed and asked, "Your Majesty, how should Xiong Tingbi and Wang Huazhen deal with it?"

Hearing the two names of Tianqi, his face darkened and said, "If these two people did not die in Liaodong, after Zhang Aiqing arrived in Liaodong, he would send someone to escort them back to Beijing."

"I received the order." Zhang Heming said respectfully.

Apocalypse waved his hand at them.

"I'm going to leave."
