Brothers, our morale has been a bit low recently. This is not okay.

Even if it is a small paper boat floating on the sea, the wind and waves are surging, but it still has to ride the wind and waves! It is better to be broken than to be destroyed!

No matter how hard it is, can it be harder than yesterday? Subscribe and get started! The boat floating on the sea will always accompany you all the way!

~~~~~~

At this time, the shrill voice of the young eunuch came from the main hall: "The emperor has a decree to announce that Yuan Chonghuan is here to attend!"

"The Emperor has a decree to announce that Yuan Chonghuan will be present in court!"

The little eunuch beside him hurriedly led the way, and Supervisor Yuan did not dare to neglect. He quickly collected his mind and walked into the hall calmly and steadily.

In the main hall, light incense was burning, gently swirling around, and it smelled very good. However, it inadvertently made the atmosphere in the entire hall more majestic and solemn.

Emperor Chongzhen was sitting on his throne, flipping through a book absentmindedly.

Not far from the side, there are several ministers accompanying him to the left and right.

On both sides, there were several young eunuchs standing there, ready to take orders.

Xiaodouzi was among them, bowing his head respectfully, looking at his nose with his eyes, and his heart with his nose, without breathing heavily, just like an old monk in meditation.

It is different from Emperor Chongzhen’s interview with Li Yuanqing.

At this time, Governor Yuan had no personal relationship with Emperor Chongzhen. Although he was summoned by the emperor at night, it was still very formal and he was to be written into the "Daily Notes".

Governor Yuan strode into the palace. Under the guidance of the little eunuch, he knelt down on the ground respectfully, kneeling three times and kowtowing: "Your Majesty, Yuan Chonghuan, Governor of Jiliao, is here to greet your Majesty. Long live my emperor! Long live my emperor!"

"

Emperor Chongzhen had met Yuan Chonghuan before, and that was when Yuan Chonghuan came to Beijing to receive a reward after the Ningyuan victory.

However, at that time, Emperor Chongzhen was really an insignificant vassal king. He was young and inconspicuous at all.

Of course Governor Yuan also met Emperor Chongzhen, but by the same token, Emperor Chongzhen at that time was naturally not able to fall into his eyes.

This means that although the two of them met each other and looked familiar, they did not have any personal relationship.

After a moment, Emperor Chongzhen smiled faintly: "Yuan Aiqing is here, please get up, Xiaodouzi."

Emperor Chongzhen hesitated for a moment, then smiled and said: "Give me a seat."

"yes."

Xiaodouzi hurriedly brought a small round pier to Governor Yuan himself.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness."

Governor Yuan carefully sat on the small round pier, not daring to look directly at Emperor Chongzhen, but looking at the surrounding environment slightly from the corner of his eyes.

Overall, he was quite satisfied with the emperor's attitude towards him and the standard of reception he received.

Emperor Chongzhen was also looking at Governor Yuan quietly.

Frankly speaking, although the two of them have no personal relationship, Governor Yuan can be considered a capable minister. After all, he has the foundation of the 'Ningyuan Great Victory' and 'Ningjin Great Victory' here. This is Governor Yuan's most glorious 'business card'.

This is an achievement recognized by the imperial court, and it is still a great achievement!

But in the bottom of his heart, Emperor Chongzhen still had some...some views on Governor Yuan himself...

The main reason is that Governor Yuan voluntarily resigned from his position as governor of Liaodong last year after a quarrel with Wang Zhichen and gave up his job.

Although it was not a critical moment at that time, as an emperor, who would like such a capable minister with thorns?

What's more, Emperor Chongzhen had just ascended the throne and his foundation was not stable.

such a pity.

The situation in Liao at this time was somewhat beyond the control of Emperor Chongzhen, especially Li Yuanqing's rather... 'tough' attitude, which gave Emperor Chongzhen a... kind of hard punch, which hit the iron head directly.

The feeling on the board.

Not only did his fist feel sore, but he also lost all face.

Fortunately, this matter is only for the inner court, and the replacement of the supervisory army is also an inner court matter. The imperial court is not aware of it at this time.

Otherwise, Emperor Chongzhen really doesn’t know... where to put his little face...

Faced with the current situation in Liao, Emperor Chongzhen was very eager to change. Then, Wang Zhichen, who only knew "He Xini", was obviously not a...

Resurrecting Governor Yuan, the "thorny head", was actually a choice that Emperor Chongzhen had no choice in.

Especially at this time, Commander Yuan's appearance... made Emperor Chongzhen not so reassured...

Although there is no concept of "appearance" at this time, people throughout the ages have had such a "consensus" in their hearts, or it is called "subconscious".

A capable minister in governing the world and a good general on the battlefield, no matter what, he must have the appearance of Sun Chengzong and Li Yuanqing...

But at this time, Governor Yuan...his small figure can't even hold up his official uniform...

Emperor Chongzhen was sizing up Governor Yuan, and Governor Yuan was also secretly sizing up the most supreme king of the Ming Empire.

This is also the first time that he has truly seen the true face of Emperor Chongzhen in the nearly one year since the new emperor ascended the throne.

Frankly speaking, at this time, even though Emperor Chongzhen had tried his best to show his maturity, in the eyes of Governor Yuan, he still subconsciously felt that the new emperor was too immature, he was still a child.

Well……

Of course, even if a pre-month-old Yuewa sits on this throne, he is still the emperor. Even if Governor Yuan is disdainful in his heart, he still does not dare to show it in front of his face.

At this time, the emperor did not speak, and he, Governor Yuan, naturally would not overwhelm the guest. He quietly collected his mind and concentrated his energy, waiting for the emperor's upcoming inquiry.

After pondering for a moment, Emperor Chongzhen already had a preliminary impression of Governor Yuan.

Although this person is not tall in appearance, his eyes are very firm, especially his calm and calm self-confidence, which is very abundant.

This is an expression rarely seen by Emperor Chongzhen.

Even Li Yuanqing was extremely respectful when meeting him. Even though he was usually confident, he never dared to show off too much in front of him.

But Governor Yuan's momentum could be clearly felt by Emperor Chongzhen from a long distance away.

The so-called "relying on talent and letting go".

A person with such momentum must be a capable person.

In particular, Governor Yuan had been rooted in Liao for more than ten years, and he knew the details of Liao. He also had the achievements of Ningyuan and Ningjin. Slowly, Emperor Chongzhen began to accept Governor Yuan.

After a moment, Emperor Chongzhen smiled softly and said: "My dear, you have come all the way from the south. You have worked hard all the way. Thank you for your hard work."

Although Emperor Chongzhen was young at this time, he was born in an imperial family after all, so ordinary etiquette naturally came easily.

In particular, at this time he also wanted to win over the "capable" Governor Yuan, so he spoke in an extremely soft tone and acted like a courteous corporal.

This also played into Governor Yuan's plan.

Although Governor Yuan is not very tall in appearance, he attaches great importance to this kind of detailed etiquette, including his family background. He has always strictly followed the standards of a scholar-bureaucrat.

This is also the most critical reason why idiots like Li Yuanqing and Mao Wenlong have never been able to catch his eye.

But~, Inspector Yuan forgot...

At that time, he was only at the bottom of the third class... If his luck were even slightly worse, he would not be on this big list.

Even if he is on the list, how can there be a place for him, a powerless grassroots, among the elites gathered with talented people?

However, Governor Yuan is indeed a ruthless person!

He also has very far-sighted foresight.

He recommended himself, and without spending much money, he found a job to go to Liao.

Li Taibai said: "As long as you work hard, an iron rod can be ground into a needle."

Governor Yuan found the right direction and had a firm heart. After more than ten years, he succeeded. He indeed succeeded.

At this time, looking at the entire Ming Dynasty, if there is one person, one civil servant, who can truly understand the war in Liao, stay up to date with the overall situation of Liao, and solve the problems of Liao, then~~~ in the whole world, except for him Governor Yuan

, who else? Who else?

Even Sun Chengzong would still be unable to survive in Western Liaoning without the support of his Governor Yuan!

Of course, only Governor Yuan himself knows how much ups and downs, hardships, and sufferings it took to reach this "broad road".

But~, keep it until the clouds clear and the moon shines!

At this time, in the Forbidden City, in the Hall of Cultivation of the Heart, in front of the Emperor of Heaven, it was indeed time for him to enjoy the glory after these years of hard work, hardship, and suffering.

After a moment, Governor Yuan finally came to his senses and hurriedly raised his hands respectfully and said: "Thank you very much for your concern, the Emperor. It is my honor to serve the Emperor and the imperial court."

Seeing Governor Yuan's performance, his tone was slightly integrated. Emperor Chongzhen understood. Governor Yuan also adapted to the rhythm of the conversation. He couldn't help but smile lightly and said: "Yuan Aiqing, I have heard about it a long time ago, and I have admired your name for a long time. It's a pity.

Ah, it is only today that our monarch and his ministers can meet each other."

Emperor Chongzhen’s words were very clever.

On the one hand, it complimented Governor Yuan and took care of Governor Yuan's face. On the other hand, it added a slight thorn in the side, testing Governor Yuan's further attitude.

How smart is Governor Yuan?

Naturally, he immediately understood the meaning of Emperor Chongzhen's words, and hurriedly raised his hands respectfully and said: "Your Majesty, Holy Ming! Being able to serve the Emperor is a blessing that I have earned for hundreds of years. However, Your Majesty, you also know that I have been in Liao for more than ten years.

In the new year, the elders in my family were missing me, and I was feeling a little unwell. So I took half a day off to go back to my hometown in Guangdong to visit."
