If the three southwestern provinces could be completely pacified this time, Yuan Keli would have made a great contribution. After entering Beijing, he would at least be a minister of one of the six ministries, or even be able to enter the cabinet.
The most crucial point is that Sun Chengzong trusted Yuan Keli's ability. He felt that as long as Yuan Keli went this time, there would definitely be no major problems.
Under such circumstances, Sun Chengzong seemed to have no reason to refuse. At the same time, he also understood that Han Yu was not trying to poach his people, but was exchanging interests with him.
Han Yu supported Yuan Keli, and the position of Governor of Denglai was given to Han Yu.
The intrigues among the cabinet ministers had been going on for a long time. Zhu Youxiao was well aware of this and would not object as long as it was benign.
For example, this time, although it was Han Yu who recommended Yuan Keli, to be fair, Yuan Keli was indeed a suitable candidate.
He sent Yuan Keli to Denglai so that if anything went wrong in Liaodong, Denglai could react immediately.
But the current situation is that the situation in Liaodong has stabilized, and the position of Governor Denglai has suddenly become much less important.
Under such circumstances, it would be a waste of talent to still place Yuan Keli in Denglai.
Zhu Youxiao then said, "Then let's appoint Yuan Keli as the Governor-General of the Southwest. As for the candidate for the Governor of Denglai, we can just report it to the cabinet after they have decided on it."
With the strategic position weakened, the selection of Governor of Denglai was no longer within Zhu Youxiao's focus, but he still had another person to arrange.
After glancing at a few people, Zhu Youxiao continued, "Sun Chuanting, the military doctor, is a man of courage and knowledge of military affairs. The cabinet has drafted an edict to promote him to the positions of Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of War and Right Assistant Censor-in-Chief of the Censorate. He will accompany Yuan Keli to the southwest and serve under Yuan Keli."
Several people were stunned and couldn't help but look at Sun Chengzong.
Who is this Sun Chuanting?
They all have the surname Sun. Is it related to you?
However, they also knew that they definitely couldn't ask at this time, and no one stood up to object.
First, the two official positions Zhu Youxiao gave were both honorary positions. Although there is suspicion of excessive promotion, it is more excessive for people like Xu Guangqi. This matter is quite sensitive, so it is better not to speak carelessly.
Besides, I don't know what's going on with this Sun Chuanting, nor do I know what His Majesty is thinking. Talking nonsense can easily cause trouble. Anyway, it's no big deal to let him go to Yunnan with Yuan Keli.
Then several people bowed and said, "We obey your order."
Zhu Youxiao nodded and said, "After returning, immediately draft an imperial edict to allow Yuan Keli to enter the capital."
"We obey your order." Several people quickly agreed again.
