After the fate of the fast horse sent out "Five Difficulties and Four Can'ts", Xiong Wencan thought that he had a plan, and was fantasizing that Chongzhen would take back his fate, Chongzhen's second holy decree and Yao Minggong's letter arrived, and he couldn't help but be disappointed, but he didn't dare to slack off, so he had to go to work.

At this time, Huang Taiji saw Fan Wencheng coming in from outside, sighed, and said: "The little emperor of the Ming Dynasty put a Lu Xiangsheng in the Xuanfu area, and it will be difficult for us to enter the fortress in the future." ”

Fan Wencheng smiled: "The emperor has said this more than once, isn't he in a hurry?" ”

Huang Taiji said seriously: "Lu Xiangsheng has blocked our way forward, can I not be in a hurry?" I wonder if Fan Zhangjing has ever thought of a good strategy? ”

Fan Wencheng said solemnly: "Lu Xiang's life will not be long before he is promoted. ”

Huang Taiji said: "Fan Zhangjing said this last time, I also sold him a face for this, it's been so long, Fan Zhangjing still said this, I think there must be Fan Zhangjing's reason, I wonder if Fan Zhangjing can give me a comment?" ”

Fan Wencheng thought for a moment and said, "Just now, the envoy of the peace talks of the Ming Dynasty arrived, and the emperor guessed who this envoy was?" ”

Huang Taiji was stunned for a moment, shook his head, and said: "I can't guess, hmph, in the past, we had to negotiate peace with them many times, but Chongzhen ignored them, and at this time, he actually thought of it?" ”

Fan Wencheng didn't answer his words, and continued: "A blind man named Zhou Yuanzhong. ”

Huang Taiji became more and more curious, and said, "What do they mean by this?" ”

Fan Wencheng said: "This shows that their peace talks are carried out in secret, and finding a blind person is nothing more than to keep it secret." This should not be the idea of Chongzhen and Yang Sichang, but the masterpiece of Gao Qiqian and Fang Yizao, the governor of Liaodong. ”

Huang Taiji let out an "oh", and Fan Wencheng said again: "Wen Cheng is sure that Yang Sichang has gained Chongzhen's trust, and peace talks should be Yang Sichang's idea, but it is just to buy time for him to exterminate the Liukou." ”

Huang Taiji said: "In this case, what else to talk about, just drive him back, or simply kill him." ”

Fan Wencheng pondered: "Not only can you not rush back or kill him, on the contrary, the emperor should treat him warmly, and all the conditions he proposed must be agreed, but the time must be limited." ”

Huang Taiji said: "Why is this? ”

Fan Wencheng said: "For foreign enemies, the Central Plains people are the most able to share the same hatred. We are foreign enemies to them. The matter of them secretly discussing peace with us, once exposed, will cause an uproar in the Ming Dynasty court and in China.

Based on Wen Cheng's understanding of Lu Xiangsheng, Lu Xiangsheng will strongly oppose it. The emperor thought, what kind of lively scene will it be when two people who are trusted by the emperor fight.

And let's just sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, when they are tired of fighting, let's just take the opportunity to cut off one of them, won't the emperor's worries be solved? ”

Huang Taiji suddenly realized and said: "What a Fan Zhangjing, just follow Fan Zhangjing's words." ”

Fan Wencheng's expectation was good, Fang Yizao found a blind person to be a messenger, but it was for the sake of secrecy. Even so, after Zhou Yuanzhong left, Fang Yizao was still uneasy.

Gao Qiqian persuaded: "Don't worry, no one will know." ”

Fang Yizao said: "This is a major event related to the national integrity, if it is leaked, the two of us will really be stinking for 10,000 years." ”

Gao Qiqian said disapprehantly: "At most, we are acting on orders, and you don't have to worry too much, and you can't blame us at any time." ”

Fang Yizao said: "Acting on orders? Where's the order? ”

Gao Qiqian shook his head, and wanted to say more, but saw the Chinese army hurriedly come in, and said, "Qiyu Father-in-law, Qiqi Governor, Zhou Yuanzhong is back." ”

The two were stunned, and Fang Yizao had already preemptively said, "Let him come in." ”

Zhou Yuanzhong was just a hexagram seller on the street, because Gao Qiqian often went to him for divination, so he became familiar with Gao Qiqian. happened to Fang Yizao in urgent need of a peace envoy, so Gao Qiqian recommended him.

Although Zhou Yuanzhong was blind, he did not lose his integrity, and resolutely refused to go, unable to stand Gao Qiqian and Fang Yizao's coercion and temptation in turn, so he reluctantly agreed: "Let's just pass a word to them, besides, didn't they say it, this is a means, and the border must be stabilized first."

Also, the two families were originally neighbors, but if they got together, let's spread the word and resolve the grievances, what's the big deal? ”

I was thinking like this all the way, and when I arrived in Shengjing, the emperor of the Qing Dynasty not only personally received him, but also gave him a very high courtesy: "That emperor is not bad, why did he make an enmity with us?" ”

Just thinking about it, I smelled the inside and let in, and I was busy entering the inner hall under the guidance of the family.

Fang Yizao waved his hand left and right, signaling them to withdraw before asking, "Have you ever failed in your mission?" ”

Zhou Yuanzhong heard him ask, and hurriedly told him about the courtesy he had received.

Gao Qiqian asked unwillingly: "There is nothing else?" ”

Zhou Yuanzhong said: "The emperor said that if there is a confirmation, the troops will be withdrawn and returned." As he spoke, he took out a letter from his bosom and handed it over: "By the way, the emperor also asked us to bring a letter back." ”

Gao Qiqian hurriedly took it and looked at it, and after seeing it, he ordered someone to take Zhou Yuanzhong away, and then handed the letter to Fang Yizao, and said: "Huang Taiji is also happy, and he actually agreed to all the conditions, but added a sentence at the back, 'If you don't allow it, Xia and Autumn will definitely make a move'." ”

Fang Yizao said: "This should be a good result, if it can be done, the situation of paying tribute should be able to be achieved." ”

Gao Qiqian said: "Since the governor also means this, let's play it truthfully?" ”

Fang Yizao said: "The emperor has never given us a holy decree, even if Duke Yang also ordered his cronies to send a message to us, is it appropriate for us to play it rashly?" ”

Gao Qiqian slapped his forehead violently and said, "Why did our family forget this stubble, well, let's report these things to Yang Gong, and it is appropriate for him to mediate." ”

Yang Sichang heard that Xiong Wencan was finally willing to go to work, and he couldn't tell what it was like for a while. Just as he was pacing alone, thinking about things, the personal slave hurriedly handed over the report of Gao Qiqian and Fang Yizao.

Yang Sichang looked at it and went straight to see Chongzhen.

dismissed Wen Tiren, Chongzhen added Cheng Guoxiang, Yang Sichang and other five people to the cabinet, and never thought that the impeachment of Song Shu flew in like snowflakes. was annoyed, and when he saw him coming, he knew that he must have come to talk about peace again, so he couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart, and pretended to be lazy and said, "Let's talk about it." ”

Yang Sichang didn't dare to slack off, and said so and so.

Chongzhen said: "Life is high, dive, Fang Yizao drink carefully." ”

Yang Sichang was unwilling and said: "Since the national policy has been determined, it should be implemented as it is, and we should not listen to the irresponsible remarks of those officials."

Those officials who speak are not concerned about the situation of the military department at all, they will only talk about misleading the country, and hope that the saints will allow it. ”

Chongzhen said: "It's not just the officials, most of the courtiers oppose it. ”

Yang Sichang knew that the courtiers were all opposing his strategy, especially that Huang Daozhou, who bluntly slandered him, although Yang Sichang had expected it, he still hated it in his heart. For this reason, he has asked Chongzhen to be dismissed, but Chongzhen does not allow it.

Chongzhen said again: "The matter is not clear, the reason is not clear, and I will debate it tomorrow." ”
