Daming: Apocalypse of Longevity

Chapter 44: Two Years of Ping Liao
As soon as Zhu Tianqi said this, Yuan Chonghuan was shocked. Looking at Zhu Tianqi on the dragon chair, he was stunned for a moment.

Zhu Tianqi looked at the stunned Yuan Chonghuan and couldn't help but smile, "What's wrong, Mr. Yuan, do you think I'm talking big words?"

Yuan Chonghuan came to his senses and hurriedly saluted and replied: "I don't dare. It's just that I have returned to Liao in the past two years... I really feel that it is a bit too incredible..."

After Yuan Chonghuan came back to his senses, all he could think about now was that he was too arrogant, and the emperor was even more arrogant. After all, he was young and energetic and did not understand war. The recovery of Liaodong was not a matter of words. In two years, even a decent The army can't be trained, let alone recapture Liaodong!
Zhu Tianqi smiled and said: "It doesn't matter if you think it's incredible. Time will prove everything. Yuan Chonghuan, do you dare to make a bet with me?"

Yuan Chonghuan did not expect that the emperor was quite confident, and he was really curious about the emperor's two-year Ping Liao strategy, so he had to follow Zhu Tianqi's words: "How dare I bet against the emperor? What is the emperor's order? Please give me your instructions!"

Zhu Tianqi naturally could see that Yuan Chonghuan was unconvinced, but he still smiled and said: "It's not time to tell you my Pingliao strategy yet, but I want to make this bet with you. It's best to think about it carefully.

This time in Pingliao, in addition to you, I have also called back your teacher Sun Chengzong. Maybe you have also heard that I have made Sun Chengzong the Minister of the Ministry of War and the Grand Bachelor of the Intermediate Palace. When I go to Liaodong, I will still ask you to teach me. Two people will be born as partners, Sun Chengzong will be the governor of Jiliao, and you will be the governor of Jiliao.

You, teacher and student, have the same strategy for the Ping Liao Dynasty, so no matter how hard you go to Liaodong to show off your talents, the imperial court will give you maximum support and convenience. Two years later, I will have my own plan to wipe out the slaves!
I know that you have great ambitions, so I can promise you that if I cannot annihilate Jiannu within two years, then I can hand over the position of Governor of Jiliao to you. What do you think? "

After hearing this, Yuan Chonghuan hurriedly stood up and saluted: "How dare I covet the position of governor? The emperor trusts me so much that he can entrust me with the important responsibility of governor Ji Liao. I am very grateful! Please rest assured, your Majesty, minister When I go to Liaodong, I will only have Governor Sun take the lead and act in a down-to-earth manner without any other evil thoughts!"

As soon as Zhu Tianqi heard Yuan Chonghuan's words, he knew that he must have heard the meaning of his words. He knew that he was worried that he would not be willing to just be a governor, subordinate and controlled by others, so he hurriedly said these words To make a statement.

But since he could understand what he meant and what he said was sincere, then his purpose of beating him would be achieved.

Moreover, although Yuan Chonghuan has great ambitions and has no idea about the position of governor, the governor of Jiliao he has chosen now is Sun Chengzong after all. He is Yuan Chonghuan’s teacher and someone he respects. Yuan Chonghuan’s character is still No problem, it’s impossible to do anything to steal Sun Chengzong’s position and undermine Sun Chengzong!

The purpose of what Zhu Tianqi just said to Yuan Chonghuan was naturally not to make a bet with him, but to appease Yuan Chonghuan, so that even if he had ideas about the position of Governor of Ji Liao, he would do it before For two years, he worked under Sun Chengzong honestly and obediently.

As long as there is no trouble in the first two years, Zhu Tianqi is confident that when the time comes, he will annihilate the Jiannu in one fell swoop!
Zhu Tianqi nodded, and then said: "Since you are so reasonable, Mr. Yuan, I will not say anything else. I will first appoint you as the left servant of the Ministry of War, and assist Sun Chengzong to investigate the presence of soldiers in the national guards and border troops. Make up the situation, check and issue the owed military pay, and after you finish this matter, I will make you the governor and governor of Jiliao again, and go to Liaodong to Pingliao!"

Yuan Chonghuan did not accept reinstatement when he was recalled to the capital. Now he is a commoner. According to the court's practice, promotions come step by step. It is the first time in his life that he was directly named deputy chief of the Ministry of War.

Yuan Chonghuan was filled with excitement and hurriedly knelt down to express his gratitude: "Your Majesty, Yuan Chonghuan, thank you for your kindness!"

"Get up!" Zhu Tianqi raised his hand and said, "You can go directly to the Ministry of War to report tomorrow. Sun Shangshu has been too busy these days, so you'd better go and help him quickly!" Yuan Chonghuan Standing up, he cupped his hands and said, "I obey the order. I will go to the Ministry of War to see Sun Shangshu later and assist Sun Shangshu in handling the affairs of the Ministry of War!"

After hearing this, Zhu Tianqi nodded with satisfaction, "Okay, then you can go there now!" After saying this, Zhu Tianqi picked up Yuan Chonghuan's memorial and said, "If there is anything new, You can submit your ideas to me at any time, and I will take a closer look at your Ping Liao strategy!"

After hearing this, Yuan Chonghuan couldn't help but feel warm in his heart. After all, it seemed that the emperor still valued him very much. This was considered a special honor. He hurriedly bowed respectfully: "I have written it down. If the emperor doesn't If there are no other instructions, I will leave first!"

Zhu Tianqi nodded slightly, waved to him, and then turned to Wang Yuanbao and told Wang Yuanbao: "I am also a little tired, go back to Qianqing Palace!"

"My slave obeys the order!" Wang Yuanbao bowed in response and quickly ordered the eunuchs to bring the dragon chariot over.

As soon as Long Nian arrived at the gate of Qianqing, he saw Zhu Youjian waiting outside the gate. After passing through the gate of Qianqing, it belonged to the scope of the harem, so no one was allowed to pass through the gate without the emperor's summons. Tianqi is accustomed to working in the Qianqing Palace. Only recently have so many ministers frequented the Qianqing Palace.

When Zhu Tianqi saw Zhu Youjian, he signaled the eunuchs to stop. Zhu Youjian hurriedly stepped forward to salute, holding a wooden cylinder in his hand, "Your Majesty, news about going south!"

Zhu Tianqi did not rush to ask Wang Yuanbao to bring the cylinder, but said to Zhu Youjian: "Come in and talk!"

He signaled the eunuchs to move on, entered the Qianqing Gate, came down at the entrance of the Qianqing Palace, and walked straight into the palace, while Zhu Youjian followed without saying a word.

Zhu Tianqi entered the Qianqing Palace, took off his outer cloak, and then ordered Wang Yuanbao to replace the water in the thermos cup with a new one. Then he sat down on the chair behind the Long Bookcase and asked: "What's the news about going south?"

Zhu Youjian held the cylinder in his hand and walked to the Long Bookcase: "My brother hasn't opened the secret letter yet. Please read it!"

Zhu Tianqi had no choice but to take the wooden cylinder in Zhu Youjian's hand, unsealed the seal, took out a roll of letter paper, unfolded it and took a look.

I thought that Zhang Guoji and Sun Yuanhua had set off for five or six days, and they would not encounter any trouble, but they did not expect that not only did they encounter trouble, but the troublemaker was not a wealthy businessman, not a water ghost, but someone from the imperial court , as soon as the two people's boat left the capital, it was detained by the water transporters in Hejian Mansion.

　In the new year, I wish you and your family good health, all the best, abundant financial resources, and good luck!
