On the sixth day of the ninth month of the sixth year of the Apocalypse (1626 AD), Wang Zhizheng officially resigned from Huang Taiji and ended his three-day mission. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The first time as a messenger, Wang Zhizheng did not disgrace his mission, with his own wisdom and experience, he finally successfully completed the task, not only maintained the majesty of the Ming Dynasty's Celestial Empire, did not lose face to the Ming Dynasty, which has suffered losses in recent years, but also thoroughly grasped the first-hand information of the ruling class of the Houjin State, and understood the psychological condition and talent level of the new Khan Emperor Taiji.

With these things, it is enough to give an account to Yuan Chonghuan, and Wang Zhizheng's envoy can be said to have opened a door for the two countries to negotiate peace.

Huang Taiji solemnly received Wang Zhizheng who came to bid farewell in the conference hall. Sitting on either side were still the three swaggering Baylors.

Huang Taiji sincerely said: "Lord Wang's first visit has brought the possibility of friendship and peace between the two countries, I think, our Jinming and Ming countries will be able to work in peace, friendship and cooperation, moreover, I appreciate your talent and brain, if you do not give up, I hope that your envoy can stay in my Shengjing for a longer period of time, let me use the most grand hospitality of our Dajin country to entertain you." ”

At this time, Wang Zhizheng looked at the three major Baylors, the two major Baylors who were unruly last time, Amin and Mang Gurtai, their expressions were not only arrogant and some were confused, they were experts in fighting wars and conquering cities, and they were all laymen in diplomacy, and they didn't know why Huang Taiji was talking so much nonsense to the envoys.

Wang Zhizheng smiled slightly, and immediately said: "Thank you for the reception and banquet of the Great Khan, I have witnessed the customs of the Dajin Kingdom in Shengjing in the past few days, and I feel that it is very new country." Wang Zhizheng wishes the Great Khan a long reign. When Wang returns to Beijing, he will certainly devote himself to peace and friendship between the two countries. ”

A few sentences of official articles, Wang Zhizheng himself wanted to vomit, but there was no way, there was a fixed format of dialogue between diplomatic relations, which had to be recorded by the historian in the emperor's living note, so he had to use a tone to greet Huang Taiji.

When Wang Zhizheng said the words "Wang Ye is long", he looked at Huang Taiji with a smile, which means that I did not wish you a strong and prosperous Dajin Kingdom, but just wished that you Huang Taiji could achieve a royal industry, make your own country solid, and sit firmly on the dragon seat under your buttocks.

Huang Taiji is such a smart person, of course, he understands when he hears it, Huang Taiji smiled slightly, and said to Wang Zhizheng with deep meaning: "Thank you Lord Wang for your advice." ”

Wang Zhizheng is like an arrow, and now he really hopes to be able to put on his wings and return to Beijing as soon as possible.

Because of this special period, Wei Zhongxian promised in front of all the ministers that if this envoy did not fail in his mission, he would hand over the position of the chief soldier of the Beijing Praetorian Guard to himself.

This position is too important for him, if he gets the control of this Praetorian Guard, he can not only smoothly protect King Xin to inherit the throne, but also add a strong force to the eunuch party to eradicate Wei Zhongxian.

Wang Zhizheng bid farewell to Huang Taiji, and then took Zhou Cheng, Zhou Gong and a hundred escorts to his capital iron cavalry, and returned to Ningyuan with a mighty desheng gate. Huang Taiji watched Wang Zhizheng return.

As soon as Wang Zhizheng embarked on the road back, Huang Taiji began to negotiate peace with Yuan Chonghuan, he needed a peace negotiation now, he needed to buy time for himself, first, to consolidate the authority in his hands, and second, to continue to fight against the Mongolian Chahar tribe. Of course, there are still many tasks waiting for Huang Taiji, he not only wants to have power in his hands, but also wants to be a monarch who has great power and is autocratic!

Wang Zhizheng and his entourage went straight to Ningyuan City and returned without stopping. From Shengjing to Ningyuan about 500 miles, it took a day and a half to rush non-stop along the way.

When he arrived in Ningyuan City, Yuan Chonghuan went out of the suburbs of the city gate to greet him, and he was eager to know the information obtained by Wang Zhizheng during this visit. Yuan Chonghuan saw that Wang Zhizheng took more than 100 iron horsemen to defend his Dongchang and returned to the gate of Ningyuan City.

Wang Zhizheng quickly jumped off the horse, hugged his fists at Yuan Chongyan and said, "Lord Yuan, I will make the Jin Kingdom return smoothly!" Yuan Chonghuan laughed and said: "Lord Wang can be successfully triumphed, which is a sigh of relief!" Since our country has been at war with the Jin country, you are the first person to be able to send an envoy to the Jin country and come and go freely! ”

Wang Zhizheng smiled confidently: "With Lord Yuan's entrustment, do you dare to do your best?" ”

Saying that, Yuan Chonghuan hurriedly invited Wang Zhizheng to enter the city.

Entering the governor's yamen, Wang Zhizheng sat in Yuan Chonghuan's main hall, sipping tea to drive away the fatigue on his body, while cheering up his spirits, preparing to tell Yuan Chonghuan the information he got in Houjin as soon as possible to complete this important military task.

Yuan Chonghuan was very anxious and wanted to know about Wang Zhizheng's success, but after all, he wanted to maintain the majesty of the generalissimo, so he said with a smile: "Lord Wang, don't worry, don't worry, you're tired from traveling overnight, so rest for the night first." It's never too late to talk tomorrow. ”

Wang Zhizheng waved his hand: "No, Lord Yuan, I have to report to you clearly today, I have to leave for Beijing early tomorrow morning, because there is an urgent matter in Beijing, so I don't dare to rest for a moment, I must return to Beijing immediately!" ”

Yuan Chonghuan called the little deputy general Wu Sangui, and Wu Sangui walked in energetically and hugged Yuan Chonghuan: "What do you command?" Yuan Chonghuan said to him gently: "Sangui, you also come and listen, this information will also be very beneficial to you in the future." Wu Sangui hugged his fists and saluted, Wang Zhizheng nodded to Wu Sangui and said: "This time I met with the new Great Khan Emperor Taiji, and it was strange to find that when the Later Jin Dynasty went to the Dynasty, there were four people sitting on the dragon seat, which were the four major Baylors of the Later Jin Kingdom: Daishan, Amin, Mang Gurtai and Huang Taiji. ”

When this sentence came out, Yuan Chonghuan and Wu Sangui were a little incredible. Wu Sangui asked in surprise: "Lord Wang, are these four Baylors all in power?" ”

Wang Zhizheng nodded: "Yes." Later Jin was in power by the Eight Great Baylors, that is, the four Great Baylors plus the four Little Baylors. The fourth Belle the Younger were Nurhachi's four nephews: Zilharang the nephew, Dorgon the fourteenth, Dordor the fifteenth, and Azig the twelfth. In particular, this little Belle Dorgon, who was only sixteen years old, but he was sober-minded and resourceful, and I think he would probably be a ruler in the future. ”

Yuan Chonghuan listened while pacing in the hall with a teacup, while Wu Sangui sat diagonally opposite Wang Zhizheng, looking at Wang Zhizheng with blazing eyes.

Wang Zhizheng slowly told Yuan Chonghuan and the young general Wu Sangui about the tongue battle with the four major Baylors from the first time, and the Huang Taiji was eager to monopolize the power and the four brothers looked like each other.

Wang Zhizheng's ability to express himself is very strong, and he told the two of them in detail and appropriately, telling the two of them step by step about the situation in the post-Jin political arena, Huang Taiji's strategic plans, Huang Taiji's worries and ambitions, and Huang Taiji's desire for peace.

From the afternoon to the setting sun, Wang Zhizheng finished the ins and outs in detail, Yuan Chonghuan listened and quickly turned his brain to consider the countermeasures and the situation, and Wu Sangui sometimes listened carefully, sometimes applauded, and sometimes angry.

When Wu Sangui heard Mang Gurtai insulting Yuan Chonghuan, Wu Sangui angrily threw out the tea cup in his hand and smashed it to the ground.

finally talked about the night falling, the wind outside the gate howling, Wang Zhizheng finished speaking. Wang Zhizheng analyzed while speaking, which aroused a strong resonance with Yuan Chonghuan.

That night, Yuan Chonghuan held a banquet to entertain Wang Zhizheng, and he specially sent someone from Jinzhou to invite Zhao Shujiao, then the commander-in-chief of Liaodong, to come over for a banquet together.
