Sun Yunhe quickly said, "Yes, Governor!" At the same time, he turned around and ordered his men, "Wake him up and torture him!"
The East Factory was investigating the case at full speed, but the Donglin Party was extremely anxious.
Originally, the Donglin Party thought it was a good opportunity to overthrow Wei Zhongxian, and even take the opportunity to overthrow Xiong Tingbi and take back Liaodong.
Now it seems that this is not the case at all. These people have fallen into Wei Zhongxian's trap.
Under such circumstances, self-protection becomes the most difficult thing at the moment.
Everyone in the court knew that the current emperor was not willing to listen to people like them, especially after Wei Zhongxian presented the evil Taoist from Qingyun Sect.
Look, Wei Zhongxian is cruelly persecuting everyone here, and that evil Taoist is dragging Your Majesty into seclusion over there.
Moreover, Your Majesty actually refused to see anyone. It was obvious that Wei Zhongxian and that evil Taoist priest had worked together to do this.
Zou Yuanbiao and Yang Lian were imprisoned at home, but people outside were trying to find a way to rescue them. Although they couldn't go to their home, they had to rescue them.
Because everyone knows that now is the time to stick together!
Once Zou Yuanbiao and Yang Lian fall, everyone will be doomed.
This time it’s a matter of life and death, no one dares to underestimate it.
Despite all the commotion outside, the palace was not affected much. Zhu Youxiao refused to see anyone, which made it difficult for those in the palace to cause trouble.
The emperor was in seclusion, and the only person serving him was Chen Hong, no one else. Even the eunuch Wang An, who was in charge of the Imperial Household Department, had to stand aside.
The selection of the queen in the palace is still going on, and Zhu Youxiao doesn't have to worry about it.
Of course, there was still something that Zhu Youxiao needed to worry about, and that was deciding on the candidate for the Liaodong Governor.
Liaodong Governor Xue Guoyong died, and the court needed to appoint someone to take his place, but Zhu Youxiao could not choose another member of the Donglin Party.
Yuan Yingtai, Wang Huazhen, and Yuan Chonghuan, the three of them made Liaodong out of control, or in other words, a mess.
Although Yuan Chonghuan may not be as useless as Yuan Yingtai and Wang Huazhen, the fact is that the situation in Liaodong has indeed taken a sharp turn for the worse since he killed Mao Wenlong.
Liaodong might still be defended, but the cost was too great. Liaodong had become a huge hole in the Ming Dynasty's finances that could not be filled at all.
Zhu Youxiao would never believe the Donglin Party's advocacy of recovering Liaodong. They just wanted to fight in Liaodong, recover Liaodong, and then embezzle Liaodong's military pay.
This matter was not a secret in the first place, but the original Tianqi Emperor did not know about it. If Wang Huazhen had not sided with Wei Zhongxian, perhaps the royal family would still have no evidence.
They themselves do not pay taxes, embezzle military pay in Liaodong affairs, and collude with Liaodong's border generals. From top to bottom, they are corrupt and oppress the soldiers. Under such circumstances, it is impossible for Liaodong to defeat the Jiannu!
In Zhu Youxiao's view, it was too difficult to rectify Liaodong, and it was basically impossible to expect the Ming army in Liaodong to defeat Nurhaci.
As for cleaning up Liaodong, the input and output are not proportional.
First of all, the soldiers in Liaodong had no will to fight, the civil officials only cared about corruption, and the people were suffering.
Solving these problems is definitely not something that can be done overnight.
Instead of spending a lot of time on this, it is better to start anew and wait until you have trained your troops well before doing anything else.
Therefore, Zhu Youxiao's policy towards Liaodong was very simple, that is, to maintain stability. As long as the status quo is maintained, being able to hold on is the greatest victory.
Therefore, when appointing the Governor of Liaodong, the first choice was the minister who advocated defense, rather than the one who shouted for the recovery of Liaodong.
Judging from the current situation of the Ming Dynasty, it is basically impossible to recover Liaodong. Therefore, those who call for the recovery of Liaodong, whether they are truly indiscernible or intentional, cannot be used.
It was already a mercy of Zhu Youxiao not to drag this kind of person out and behead him!
Those who can’t see it are stupid; those who can see it but don’t say it, and shout about recovering Liaodong, such people deserve to die!
Zhu Youxiao looked through the information in his hand. All the people here were qualified people selected by him.
As for the list submitted by the cabinet, Zhu Youxiao had thrown it aside long ago.
The purpose of that list was simple, which was to promote Wang Huazhen.
It is impossible to use this person himself, and this time he will be implicated.
Now Wang Huazhen is the governor of Guangning. He is the vanguard of the Donglin Party in embezzling military pay in Liaodong. He has no moral integrity and is able to bite back at the Donglin Party.
After searching for a long time, Zhu Youxiao finally chose a suitable person, who was Wang Xianggan.
Unlike Wang Huazhen, Wang Xianggan was not from the Donglin Party, he was from the Qi Party. The most important thing was that he had the same idea as Xiong Tingbi, both of them believed that the Liao people were unreliable and that it was not a rush to destroy the Jiannu. The Jiannu had already grown powerful, so they had to take it slow.
Unfortunately, his argument only served to embolden others and undermine his own prestige. Compared to the Donglin Party's arguments, Wang Xianggan's was far inferior and could not deceive the emperor at all.
Therefore, this strategy has never become the mainstream of Ming Dynasty's strategy in Liaodong.
In history, Wang Huazhen abandoned Guangning and fled, all the cities collapsed, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers, civilians, men and women wanted to enter the pass, but Xianggan refused to let them in, and their cries shook the mountains and valleys.
Three days later, Xiong Tingbi arrived. Xianggan opened the gates to welcome the soldiers and civilians, and discussed military affairs with Tingbi.
From this, we can see that Wang Xianggan and Xiong Tingbi had a good relationship, and Xiong Tingbi's arrogance and dominance were not reflected at all. It seemed that Xiong Tingbi was arrogant and domineering only when facing the so-called gentlemen of the Donglin Party.
Wang Xianggan was appointed as the governor of Liaodong, and the governor of Guangning also needed to be replaced. So who should be replaced?
Zhu Youxiao quickly thought of a person, and that person was Wang Zaijing.
