In the negotiations the next day, Wu Zheng did not show his face.

It's all up to Zhang Huangyan and Zhang Guowei to talk about.

The result can be imagined, I can't talk about it, because Wu Zheng refuses to let a single step, how can this be discussed?

In the afternoon, the negotiations ended early.

But an unexpected and strange thing happened.

Chen Mingxia, the deputy envoy of the Qing court, suddenly came to post and asked to see Wu Zheng.

Wu Zhengzheng was discussing the issuance of silver coins with Mo Zhinian, and when he heard that Chen Mingxia, a traitor, asked to see him, he didn't even raise his head, and directly asked people to throw the name sticker out.

But after a while, the palace guard came to spread the word again, and brought something with him...... A very delicate piece of jade.

When Wu Zheng saw this jade jue, his face changed suddenly, "Let him in." ”

Mo Zhinian looked at Wu Zheng in surprise and asked, "Does the prince know this Yujue?" ”

Wu Zheng said with some excitement: "This is Shen Zhiyuan's belongings. ”

Mo Obsession couldn't help but be shocked, "How can this be on Chen Mingxia's body?" There are many similar things in the world, and the prince will not ...... Wrong, right? ”

Wu Zheng shook his head and said, "No." This must be Shen Zhiyuan's, Shen Zhiyuan lost his mother when he was young, this is the only thought his mother left him, saying that it was his mother's marriage...... When I was a child, when I was playing with him, I accidentally broke the right corner, and he almost fought with me for it, but then my father found a craftsman to repair it with gold leaf...... You see, the gold leaf on this corner. ”

Mo Zhizhi came up to take a look, and it was really as Wu Zheng said, "In this case, why is it in Chen Mingxia's hands?" ”

Wu Zheng took a long breath and said, "Then you will only know when you see it." ”

"Then the old decay avoids it first?"

"Good. Go, the matter of silver coins is handled by Mo Lao's full authority, there is only one point, the fineness of silver coins must be ninety and three points fixed. ”

"The old man wrote it down."

……。

Not long after, Chen Mingxia entered the roll call under the guidance of the guards.

Wu Zheng looked at Chen Mingxia coldly in silence.

This is a thin middle-aged man, probably not confused, and has a clear eye, a square face, and a short beard.

No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like a slanderous person.

But Qian Sule reminded him that Wu Zheng did not have any good feelings for this person.

"What have you come to see this king for?" Wu Zheng asked as he played with the jade jue in his hand.

"Chen Mingxia visits the King of Huiji County!" What is surprising is that Chen Mingxia did not give his hands as a salute, but paid a big salute.

This is the gift of the master and the servant, the king and the minister.

Wu Zheng frowned and said: "You and I belong to two dynasties, in front of this king, you don't need to make this big gift." ”

Chen Mingxia raised his head and said, "The prince is the lord of Mingxia." ”

"!"

"Can the prince allow the ministers to explain the reason in detail?"

"Speak."

"The minister is a former dynasty jinshi, and then subordinated to Dashun, and then descended to the Qing Dynasty, and everyone in the world calls Ming Xia a slave with three surnames." Chen Mingxia said frankly, as if he was telling other people's affairs, "But the world doesn't understand Mingxia, and Mingxia must be the peace of the country and the people." ”

"Oh, you mean, everyone is drunk, but you're the only one awake?" Wu Zheng said with a hint of sarcasm.

"Don't dare." Chen Mingxia arched his hand and said, "The ministers are clear, it is a last resort, and they have advocated keeping their hair and recovering their clothes, and the world is peaceful, and he was convicted." As a last resort, he had no choice but to defile himself and flatter Prince Rui in order to protect himself, so his reputation was indecent. But Mingxia's heart is in Cao Ying's heart in Han, and he still hopes that the prince will see it. ”

Wu Zheng was not interested in listening to the theory of "saving the country by curves", so he raised the jade jue in his hand and asked, "Where did this jade jue come from?" ”

"It was Shen Zhiyuan, the deputy capital of the musket army, who gave it to the minister as a token."

Wu Zheng was surprised: "Shen Zhiyuan personally handed it over to you?" ”

"Yes. General Shen was afraid that his ministers would not be able to win the trust of the prince, so he deliberately used this thing as a basis. ”

"You knew Shen Zhiyuan before?"

"Back to the prince, I only met a few years ago."

"It's strange, I only met a few years ago, and it has been less than a year since Shen Zhiyuan was able to entrust such an important thing to a second minister who had surrendered to the Qing Dynasty...... Are you stupid to be the king? ”

Wu Zheng said sharply: "Recruited from the truth, if there is half a lie, King Mo Daoben's subordinates will be merciful." Don't kill the envoys, except for the spies! ”

Chen Mingxia said unhurriedly: "The minister is telling the truth, if there is half a lie, Mingxia people are here, and the prince can be killed." ”

Wu Zheng stared at Chen Mingxia, looked at it carefully for a while, and said, "Let's start from the beginning, start with getting acquainted with Shen Zhiyuan." ”

“…… In order to protect himself, the minister was the prince of Dorgon, but Dolgon did not give the minister much color, although he accepted the minister's input, but he always kept the minister on the periphery and could not enter the core. At this time, the two generals Shen and Qian surrendered to the Qing Dynasty and went north under the edict, in fact, the ministers knew at a glance that the two generals were fraudulent surrenders, not only the ministers, but also the Qing court, who did not know it. ”

"Then why did the Qing court also add officials and reward knights, and give marriage to Shen Zhiyuan and Qian Qiaogong?"

"First, in order to train the new musket army, the Qing court lacked generals who were proficient in the new musket. Second, in order to set an example for the Han people in the world, they believe that as long as they are given enough high-ranking officials, they can fake the show. The third is the battle between the royalists and Dolgon, in the already balanced power structure, this new army is a tool to break the balance and change the status quo. ”

"Go on."

"After the two generals, Shen and Qian, trained their recruits in Gongji City, Dolgon asked his ministers to serve as a liaison with General Shen. So, Chen became acquainted with General Shen. General Shen is an interesting person, and when he first got acquainted, he said to me that he wanted to take me to make a contribution, but I naturally didn't believe it. But later, Dolgon Chao promoted Xia to be the servant of the ministry, and I inquired around, only to know that General Shen recommended Ming Xia in front of Dolgon several times, and from this, Ming Xia believed. ”

Wu Zheng was a little stunned, what a risky means this is, if he is not careful, he will be in a situation from which he will never recover, it is conceivable that Shen Zhiyuan is in such a situation of being unaccompanied, and he is eager to find a helper, how much energy and courage it takes.

This must not be the only Chen Mingxia, with Shen Zhiyuan's heart, he is a master who casts a wide net, Wu Zheng began to worry about Shen Zhiyuan's safety, and subconsciously, Wu Zheng began to believe Chen Mingxia's words, which seemed to be Shen Zhiyuan's unscrupulous actions for the sake of the goal.

"When Ming Xia went to Gongji City again to spread the word, he expressed his gratitude to General Shen, no, General Shen asked me bluntly, if I was willing to follow him to do something big and wash away the stigma on my body. Only then did I realize that General Shen had secretly investigated me. ”

Wu Zheng scolded in his heart, this guy is too crazy, if this is a defendant, can he live?

"I asked General Shen, if I go to Dolgon to denounce you, you will die, or at least you will go to prison, do you believe me like that? General Shen replied, I have always been very accurate in seeing people, and your eyes tell me that you are not a traitor, at least you don't want to be a traitor. At that time, I was stunned for a long time, I knew that this was a dangerous move, and General Shen might have a problem protecting himself, but I still agreed. ”
