Definition
驾御 is a less common variant of 驾驭 (jià yù), meaning 'to drive (a horse or vehicle)' and metaphorically 'to control, to master, to command'. In modern written Chinese, 驾驭 is the standard form, but 驾御 appears in classical and literary contexts. You can use it for steering a horse-drawn cart or figuratively for managing a situation, a team, or one's emotions.
