The night was hazy and the moon was as bright as the moonlight. Xu Xianchun, the commander of the Jinyiwei who got the latest news from Qian Qianyi, immediately entered the palace without bothering His Majesty Qingmeng.

"Your Majesty, I'm sorry for taking the blame, Fu Guan has called me."

Zhu Youxiao, who was slightly sleepy, got up and went outside the hall gate to rub his face: "I know the specific time of Liu Fangming's uprising, and I know the accomplices who participated in the robbery of grain this time. Do they have any other conspiracies to find out?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, it is basically consistent with what we discovered in the Jinyiwei. My subordinates have ordered people to immediately pass letters to Sun Jiantai and Sun Zhongcheng. They have also sent people to secretly monitor the officials involved in the robbery of grain in Liaodong and Xuanhua. As long as the Tartars enter the pass or Zu Dashou and other places have any abnormal movements, they will immediately take decisive measures or notify Your Majesty in a timely manner."

Xu Xianchun said that, and handed Fu Guan’s confession on him. Zhu Youxiaoliao glanced at him and asked, “What’s wrong with Fu Guan now?”

"Life is worse than death, both hands and feet are broken, body is disabled, and the body is disabled. Mr. Qian's methods are far higher than those of the weak ministers." Xu Xianchun couldn't help but change his face when he mentioned Qian Qianyi.

Even though he became the commander of the Jinyiwei with his fierceness and cruelty, he had to admit that Qian Qianyi's torture methods were even more ruthless than him, at least not so perverted.

Zhu Youxiao just smiled faintly. He knew very well that Qian Qianyi would not hesitate to self-harm in order not to be beaten by Fu Guan. In addition, he had received accusations and humiliation from the literati of Jiangnan since he was summoned to Beijing to become an official. If he did not retaliate against Fu Guan all this hatred, he would be abnormal.

"Transfer my oral instructions to Liu Ruoyu of the Admiral East Factory, and immediately search the house for Fu Guan and the participants!"

Zhu Youxiao would definitely not let these people go easily, and now he is taking this opportunity to once again weaken the power of some of the major landlords.

However, there are naturally people from the East Factory responsible for these matters. Since Zhu Youxiao learned from Xu Xianchun that the Tartars would enter the pass in advance and burn, kill and robbery, he had to shift his focus to how to deal with the Later Jin Tartars who were about to be deducted and were arrogant with the momentum of defeating North Korea.

The next morning, Yuan Chonghuan, who had been staying in the capital for several days, was finally entered into the palace by His Majesty Zhu Youxiaoxuan.

Yuan Chonghuan was very excited. Standing in front of the vast Forbidden City, he couldn't help but think of Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei's Longzhong match. Although he did not completely think that His Majesty is a wise ruler today, he believed that he must be the only pillar of the court that could revitalize the Ming Dynasty.

All the land seized by the Tartars and pacifying more than 70 cities north of the Liao River was his first step to realize his ambitions.

Yuan Chonghuan was confident that he would once again have a great victory in Ningyuan and leave a reputation in history.

However, what he didn't know was that the Khan of the Later Jin Dynasty was no longer Nurhaci, but Huang Taiji, who was more cunning and strategic.

Since Huang Taiji inherited the throne of the Later Jin Khan, he changed his father Nurhaci's barbaric policy to treat the Han people. Instead, he began to use a group of Han people, especially the literati among the unconventional Han people, to serve him, and pay attention to the use of the Han Dynasty to control the Han Dynasty. This also led to the Later Jin gradually transforming from a barbaric regime that only knew how to plunder and massacre to a military power with the ambition to seize the world.

But now Yuan Chonghuan has not abandoned his strategic idea of ​​pacifying Liao in the past five years.

"Mr. Yuan Chonghuan, I have met Your Majesty." Although Yuan Chonghuan has been dismissed, he is still an official rank, so he still calls himself a humble minister in front of Zhu Youxiao.

Zhu Youxiao was also looking at this time, looking majestic and handsome, with a bit of a general style, but he did not have the elegant demeanor of a civil servant. However, from his arrogant eyes, he could see his ruthlessness. It was no wonder that he could directly kill the left governor Mao Wenlong in later generations.

"Get up, Yuan Chonghuan, have you known all the major events that have happened in the court recently?"

Zhu Youxiao asked casually, and Yuan Chonghuan nodded: "Your Majesty is very decisive in killing and attacking, and I am deeply impressed by it."

Yuan Chonghuan was very controversial in later generations, and the most criticized one was naturally the killing of Mao Wenlong. Zhu Youxiao did not have a good impression of Yuan Chonghuan because of this, but at this time, Yuan Chonghuan's flattery made Zhu Youxiao very useful. Looking at the civil officials, Yuan Chonghuan was the first to be so frank and directly affirm his actions.

Even Lu Xiangsheng and others were just silent, not saying anything, but Zhu Youxiao knew that his approach would make these civil officials who had always hoped that His Majesty would be lenient to the scholars.

Now, seeing Yuan Chonghuan say this, he couldn't help but feel happy, but he still sighed: "They deceived me too much, and I have no choice."

As he said that, Zhu Youxiao said again: "I know you want to continue to supervise Liaodong, but I don't want to arrange for you to go to Liaodong. There is a king in Jin to defend you. You can do more."

Before this, Yuan Chonghuan knew that His Majesty was unwilling to let him supervise Liaodong, but he still wanted to fight for it and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, as long as you are the one who is in charge of the Liaodong and give me the right to be cheap, I promise to pacify Liaodong in five years! No, it's three years, just three years, it's enough!"

"How come you are trying to get the best? Is it a way to train me to create another Liaodong Iron Cavalry that I can't beat!"

Zhu Youxiao shouted and threw the note in front of him: "Look at what Zu Dashou, whom you promoted, did!"

Yuan Chonghuan picked it up and looked at it quickly, and said, "Your Majesty, this is because I am not in Liaodong, so they will definitely not dare to do this."

"Yes, they don't obey my edicts, but they can obey your Lord Yuan's orders." After Zhu Youxiao said this, Yuan Chonghuan was so scared that he knelt down: "I don't dare. I don't mean to have a self-respect. I just want to say that if I have a minister here, I will definitely strictly enforce military discipline and not make these generals in the border town illegal acts."

"Okay, now according to reliable information, the Later Jin Emperor Taiji has recalled Amin who conquered North Korea and is preparing to bring troops into the pass. Once the Later Jin enters the pass, it will be empty in his rear. The North Korean king has been sending people to our Ming Dynasty for help. I cannot refuse to agree. After all, he is also an important force to suppress the rise of the Later Jin. Therefore, I intend to ask you to support North Korea and find an opportunity to establish a base in North Korea. I am always ready to attack the Later Jin from behind. I want you to be the second Mao Wenlong, but I not only let you deal with the Later Jin, but also have to monitor North Korea. This is an important strategic point. Can you do it?"

Zhu Youxiao said that, then sat back on the dragon throne, but Yuan Chonghuan remained silent. After a long time, he asked, "I wonder how many soldiers Your Majesty gave me?"

"Five hundred soldiers from the Beijing Camp Project Battalion and you will add 10,000 taels of silver bills and the title of the right assistant censor and the special imperial envoy to North Korea." After Zhu Youxiao said this, Yuan Chonghuan was stunned: "Your Majesty, can you let me control all the troops in Liaodong, especially Mao Wenlong's troops in Dongjiang?"

"No!"

Zhu Youxiao shouted without thinking: "If you dare to kill Mao Wenlong, I will destroy your nine clans. In addition, you have no right to control all the troops in Liaodong. You can control North Korea. In North Korea, you can represent me and recruit troops to attack the Later Jin Dynasty. Do you understand?"
