Chapter 58: Yuan Chonghuan's secret is appropriate
That night, Yuan Chonghuan entertained Wang Zhizheng, and did not invite other generals to come over, but drank alone with Wang Zhizheng. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Wang Zhizheng saw that Yuan Chonghuan was very interested today, and said with a smile: "Lord Yuan, I think you have more say in the current situation in Liaodong. So this time I'm going to Jin Guo, if you have any information that I need to spy on, or if you need to bring anything to Jin Guo, I can bring it by the way. ”
Yuan Chonghuan took a sip of wine and said: "After the death of Chief Nu, several princes of the Jin Kingdom fought for the throne of Khan, and finally the eighth prince Huang Taiji won and was elected as the new Great Khan by the Assembly of the Parliamentary Kings, and succeeded to the throne on the first day of the next month. This is what I know about the current situation in the Kingdom of Jin. ”
After hearing this, Wang Zhizheng nodded and said: "I am in the capital, and I heard that the eighth prince of Nu Chief, Huang Taiji, is the strongest, and Nu Chieftain has always wanted to set up his fourteenth son Dolgon before his death. The two factions fought, and in the end, Chief Nu simply said that in order to avoid the division of the Jin Kingdom, the new Khan King should be elected by the Assembly of the Parliamentary King. ”
Yuan Chonghuan was silent for a moment, holding the charcoal with the tongs, turning it over and over, thinking about things while turning the charcoal.
Wang Zhizheng looked at Yuan Chonghuan's expression of turning over the charcoal while thinking about things, and said with a smile: "When adults think about things, do they always use their hands to constantly flip things?" ”
When Yuan Chonghuan heard this, he smiled: "It's just a personal habit." What's wrong? ”
Wang Zhizheng smiled: "It's nothing, I just thought of a person." ”
Yuan Chonghuan smiled and asked, "Who is it?" ”
Wang Zhizheng said with a smile: "It's cheap, Liu." ”
Yuan Chonghuan laughed: "It seems that Lord Wang came to the border pass, and he still cares about the beauty in his heart!" ”
After making two jokes, the two of them lit the brazier and drank the wine again. Wang Zhizheng looked at Yuan Chonghuan's amazing amount of alcohol, and exclaimed: "Lord Yuan, your amount of alcohol is really amazing!" ”
Yuan Chonghuan smiled: "I do have this advantage in the next. A random smile froze on his face, and Yuan Chonghuan's mood changed for a while, making Wang Zhizheng unable to figure it out.
Wang Zhizheng had no choice but to look at him, Yuan Chonghuan's smile gradually turned into a calm appearance, and asked in a low voice: "Lord Wang, listen to what you mean, nine thousand years old is in favor of negotiating peace with Jin Guo?" ”
Wang Zhizheng listened, nodded and said: "In the early dynasty, Bai Hongmin, the left servant of the household department, Li Chen should take advantage of the change of dynasty and power of the Jin State to launch an offensive against the Jin State......
"Scholarly anger!" Yuan Chonghuan coldly gave a four-word comment.
Wang Zhizheng continued: "Nine thousand years old listen, let Cui Shangshu express his opinion, and then Cui Shangshu said, the main peace, in the next also the main peace, nine thousand years old very supportive of peace, so I sent me to the envoy, also has the meaning of testing the strategic trend of Huang Taiji, to see what Huang Taiji's attitude towards peace." ”
Yuan Chonghuan listened, nodded slightly, and said with a smile: "Nine thousand years old is still very far-sighted in diplomacy and strategy. If Bai Hongmin and his ilk are allowed to take power, let us forcibly launch an offensive against the Jin State, and if a big war breaks out at that time, then the Guanningjin defense line that I have painstakingly managed will fall short. ”
After hearing this, Wang Zhizheng raised his glass and toasted Yuan Chonghuan: "Lord Yuan, with your calm and calm plan, I want to fight against the gold thieves and protect the security of the Ming border." ”
Yuan Chonghuan laughed proudly: "Let me tell you, in fact, I have already indicated to the Holy Lord that if I give me ten years, I will definitely recover the lost territory of Liaodong and restore peace to the border of Liaodong." Give me fifteen years, and I will eradicate the gold thief. ”
Wang Zhizheng looked at Yuan Chonghuan's confident demeanor, proud demeanor, and self-prideful temperament, and couldn't help but feel a little worried in his heart:
This adult has vision, eloquence, and a very leader temperament, but he always feels that this temperament will harm him.
But after all, he was drinking at this time, Wang Zhizheng raised his wine glass and complimented: "Lord Yuan has this ambition, Wang Zhizheng admires it very much!" ”
At this time, Yuan Chonghuan said what he wanted to entrust: "Lord Wang, this time I went to Shengjing to envoy Huang Taiji, I have two questions I want you to help me figure out. ”
Wang Zhizheng looked at Yuan Chonghuan solemnly and said, "Lord Yuan, please speak!" ”
Yuan Chonghuan said solemnly: "First, I want you to figure out who is in charge of the Jin Kingdom now, whether it is the Huang Taiji in charge, or the Council of the Rulers, or the four Baylors." ”
Wang Zhizheng nodded.
"Second, I want you to find out the attitude of the Emperor Taiji and the Council of the Parliamentary Kings towards peace talks. If there is an intention to negotiate peace, then what are the weights of peace talks and the hole cards. ”
Wang Zhizheng kept them in mind one by one, and then quickly calculated in his mind what kind of strategies he needed to use to figure out these problems.
After Yuan Chonghuan finished speaking, he took out a wax-sealed handwritten letter from his cuff and handed it to Wang Zhizheng: "Lord Wang, this is a letter written by myself in the next handwriting, a handwritten letter to congratulate Huang Taiji on winning the throne in his private name, you can present it to Huang Taiji in public to read, if there is a reply, you can bring the reply back to Ningyuan and hand it over to me when the time comes." ”
Wang Zhizheng respectfully took the superstition and put it into his cuffs, and then said to Yuan Chonghuan: "Lord Yuan, please rest assured, I, Wang Zhizheng, will definitely handle this matter for you." ”
Yuan Chonghuan nodded, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Lord Wang, although you and I have not had a deep friendship before, I can feel from today's deep conversation with you that you are a person who can be entrusted with big things. If you are interested in joining the army in the future and coming to Liaodong, Yuan is willing to hand over the strategy of Liaodong to you. ”
Wang Zhizheng listened to it and was deeply moved, it seems that Yuan Chonghuan still trusts him very much, but he has not fought a war, and he has no intention of stationing at the border pass. He still has his own business to do.
After the private banquet, Yuan Chonghuan arranged for Wang Zhizheng to live in the governor's yamen. Prepare to leave for Shengjing tomorrow.
In the bedroom, Wang Zhizheng was sitting on the bed, leaning against the wall, watching Zhou Cheng packing his luggage.
Zhou Cheng smiled and said: "Young master, you have dinner with Yuan Chonghuan today, you are chatting very speculatively!" ”
Wang Zhizheng looked at him and asked, "Zhou Cheng, do you think this Yuan Chonghuan can resist the construction of Zhuzhou?" ”
Zhou Cheng said with a smile: "Oh, my lord, you are exalting me too much, how can I understand these military affairs!" ”
Wang Zhizheng nodded: "Yes, asking you about military affairs is similar to playing the piano to a cow, so what do you think of Yuan Chonghuan?" ”
Zhou Cheng nodded: "Lord Yuan looks very majestic and aura, but he feels like an arbitrary person who says the same." I don't understand it either. ”
Wang Zhizheng said with a smile: "After all, I have been a little immortal in the heavenly court for more than a thousand years, and it seems that I can see that people's eyesight is still a little, Lord Yuan is talented and virtuous, but it is a pity that he is sexy and arrogant, arbitrary, and self-serving, and he will definitely suffer in this regard in the future!" ”
