Chapter 898: The Last Conversation in This Life
I'm afraid no one would have thought that the deliberate planning of the Great Qing Kingdom would end in such a way.
Especially in the end, Dolgon apologized to Xu Changqing in public, which made many people think more.
The day after the farce ended, Dolgon took the initiative to contact Xu Changqing to have in-depth consultations, and everyone sat down to determine some issues together.
It's a pity that the rift has already arisen, and the relationship that is already full of gaps is difficult to maintain, and it is destined to be just a formality.
However, it is impossible to tear the face at this time, and the two sides still reached some agreements and resolved some trivial border disputes, which can be regarded as an explanation to all parties.
As soon as the talks ended that afternoon, Ma Shiying took the initiative to find the door.
Xu Changqing had expected this, and he didn't embarrass the Ma Pavilion Department, and personally welcomed him into the hall with a smile.
As soon as he entered the hall, the shelf that Ma Shiying had been holding on to for the past two days collapsed in an instant, and he hurriedly admitted his mistake again and again, and he couldn't wait to kneel down for Xu Changqing.
But there is not a word about what mistakes he made.
Xu Changqing said with a smile: "Master Ma, between you and me, it would be empty to say this. To tell you the truth, I was very angry when I heard that the Tartar moth was there. But after these two days, I also thought about it carefully, and my anger has eased a lot. In the final analysis, it was I, Xu Changqing, who didn't do some things well, which made many colleagues in Jiangnan have resentment against me. ”
As soon as Ma Shiying heard Xu Changqing's words, her heart hanging in her throat and eyes also relaxed a lot.
He was afraid that Xu Changqing would be the same as the stunned Qing, regardless of it, and provoke trouble from the military side, but at this time, Xu Changqing obviously understood that it was powerful, and he was not too worried.
said with a smile: "Master Hou, if you really talk about this matter, it is also that the lower officials and others have not done a good job, and many courtiers are swayed by the direction of the people. Hou Ye, don't worry, when you return to Nanjing, the lower officials will definitely increase their efforts to handle this aspect of the work well. ”
Xu Changqing smiled and looked into Ma Shiying's eyes.
Ma Shiying hung his head humbly.
After a while, Xu Changqing smiled and said, "Old Ma, I feel at ease with your words." You also put your heart in your belly, you and I are just politically different, and we have not yet risen to the level of your mortal enemy. I don't care about the rest, at least, in the big picture, I hope we can be consistent! ”
Ma Shiying understood Xu Changqing's deep meaning, and hurriedly saluted again: "Master Hou, the lower officials know ......"
……
Sending Ma Shiying away, Xu Changqing let out a long breath of turbidity.
If you want to say that Ma Shiying didn't participate in this matter, Xu Changqing's toes didn't believe it, but Ma Shiying was an old fritter, and the old spicy was abnormal, and Xu Changqing didn't catch his handle until this time.
Speaking of which, we have to talk about the current atmosphere in Jiangnan.
In the Ming Dynasty, Zhengde began to be a watershed.
Zhengde is moving forward, basically old-fashioned and jerky, and all kinds of things are still the set of Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang and Chengzu Zhu Di, with 'Cheng Zhu Lixue' as the core blueprint.
But Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di used Cheng Zhu Lixue, but they didn't trust this thing too much, and they used a lot of tricks and feet in the middle to eliminate everything that threatened the imperial power.
However, even if they were stronger, they were also deceived by the literati, and they did not understand the true core of Cheng Zhu's science - 'to encircle the imperial power as a mascot, it is still necessary to use them to govern the country. ’
As a result, there are a lot of logical inconsistencies in it.
At the beginning of Zhengde, many social contradictions became acute, and many people of insight in the Ming Dynasty were no longer trapped in the confinement of Cheng Zhu Lixue, but began to find their own way.
The most direct manifestation is embodied in the imperial examination.
Textbooks are gradually no longer the version of the Ming Dynasty, but more inclined to the old version of the Song Dynasty, and a retro style has emerged.
This led to the emancipation of the tide of thought, and the rise of a master of mind like Wang Yangming.
Since Wanli Ye, this trend of freedom has been even worse, almost a bit of a rhythm of a hundred flowers blooming.
It's a pity that it was supposed to collide with a more advanced era, but because of the rise of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, everything was destroyed.
After the establishment of the Nanjing Imperial Court, Xu Changqing was in charge of Jiangbei, and the military, political, and economic conditions were gradually stabilized and constantly recovered.
Xu Changqing is encouraged by this.
But while a hundred flowers are blooming, there will definitely be demons.
The reason why Ma Shiying dared to come over in person at this time was that he had a lot of support behind him.
Of course, the more important thing is that he is confident that Xu Changqing will not be able to grasp his handle.
As for why he took such a big risk to do such a thing, and even exchanged money with the Great Qing Kingdom, the essential reason was that he wanted to go further, including letting the cabinet gain more power.
If you want to achieve this goal, if you don't get Xu Changqing down, it seems that you can't succeed.
Xu Changqing would not directly do anything to Ma Shiying at this time.
How long did Zhu Yuanzhang plan Hu Weiyong back then? That's still the extent to which he is in power, and everything is under control.
Where is this now?
As long as they can't control the military power, Xu Changqing will let them toss.
Xu Changqing also wanted to see what kind of things would be born from this free tide if it was left to grow wildly!
……
The time soon came to September 29, which was the day of the wedding.
After a few days, the antagonism between the Ming and Qing dynasties temporarily dissipated, and they began to prepare for the marriage.
Of course, at this time, all the vulgar marriage customs have already been swept away by the Qing Dynasty itself.
They no longer dared to provoke Xu Changqing, they only hoped that things would pass smoothly.
Even, even the set of greeting relatives was omitted, and it was only carried out in this palace.
The reason given by Dolgon looked a little strange, but it was very much in line with Xu Changqing's wishes, "There are no ordinary people here in Dagukou, who can show it." It's better to have fewer incidents. ’
But even so, I survived all the time, and it was dark time.
Before entering the cave room, Dolgon and Kong Youde stopped in front of Xu Changqing.
Dolgon held his wine glass and said with a smile: "Master Hou, say a thousand things and ten thousand, there are many misunderstandings between you and me, including between my Qing Dynasty and your Ming Kingdom. However, I am very satisfied that I can find a husband like you in Donggu. Therefore, before entering the cave room, you should accompany me to have a drink with King Gongshun. ”
Kong Youde didn't speak, but it was obviously the same thing.
Xu Changqing glanced at the two of them and couldn't help but be happy.
These two guys, at this point, can be said to have lost completely.
Kong Youde is better, but Dolgon has lost completely, not only has he not made any gains in military affairs, but also in the relationship with Donggor, he has almost collapsed.
In fact, Xu Changqing can also understand Dolgon.
To some extent, marrying Dongor to himself was already Dorgon's greatest effort for his daughter.
He was only a regent, not a real king.
In addition, the father's love for his daughter is something that is difficult to show, that is, Dorgon's heart can last until this time.
"The regent is right, this wine should indeed be drunk."
Xu Changqing took the wine glass handed over by the maid, touched it with Dolgon, and then touched it with Kong Youde, and the three of them looked at each other, and they all drank it all.
After drinking a few glasses of wine in a row, Xu Changqing smiled and said, "Speaking of which, I have a few words, I want to tell you and King Gongshun, what does the regent think?" ”
Dolgon's eyes narrowed.
Kong Youde was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "Regent, the slave avoided it first." ”
Dolgon ignored Kong Youde, and Xu Changqing didn't keep Kong Youde and let him retreat by himself.
Dolgon's eyelids twitched
smoked, and said with a smile: "Master Hou, please speak." ”
Xu Changqing waved his hand and motioned for the maid to bring the wine jug, picked up the jug himself, poured a glass for Dolgon, and filled a glass himself.
At this time, the surrounding maids and eunuchs had already hid far away.
Xu Changqing touched his wine glass with Dolgon and said with a smile: "Regent, actually, I admire you very much. Without you, the Manchu Qing would be nothing more than a plague for my Ming Dynasty. I salute you for this wine. ”
Dolgon's brows furrowed suddenly, and after a moment, he drank the wine in the cup, but he didn't speak, only looked at Xu Changqing.
Xu Changqing continued: "Regent, in this world, I'm afraid, there is no one who is so similar to you and me. It's just that I, Xu Changqing, have the confidence to take care of Donggu for the rest of my life, I don't know if you, the regent, do you have it? ”
Dolgon's face had changed greatly, he looked at Xu Changqing coldly, and after a moment, he gritted his teeth and said, "Xu Changqing, I know what you want to do, but I won't let you get your wish." You go, you and I have nothing to say. At that time, even if I die on the battlefield, I will have no regrets. ”
"Huh. The regent is arrogant. ”
Xu Changqing didn't leave, stared directly at Dolgon's eyes and said, "As the regent, you are qualified, and you have contributed a lot to the Manchu Qing Dynasty at this time." But, as the father of Tungor, you are not qualified at all! You behave like a clown, no, to say that clowns are all glorifying you, you are like a scumbag. I can understand you, but I won't forgive you. ”
Dolgon's face was flushed, and his whole body was about to explode.
Xu Changqing didn't care, and continued: "This may be the last face-to-face conversation in our lives. I actually have a lot to say to you, but at this point, looking at your cautious appearance, I don't want to tell you anymore.
In this way, for the sake of Dongo's face, I will give you a promise.
When he arrives, I will level the Eight Banners, and I will leave you a whole corpse. In addition, what is the origin of your godson, I will keep it for you, and I will leave you a pulse of incense.
However, for the sake of our friendship for so many years, I still advise you to give birth to a son by yourself if you can give birth to one. In the end, you won't even have a single bird feather left. So be it. ”
With that, Xu Changqing was leaving.
"Wait!"
Dolgon's face flushed, and he snorted coldly.
"Oh?"
Xu Changqing turned around with a smile, "What else does the regent have to explain?" ”
Dolgon looked at Xu Changqing's eyes, his angry emotions gradually calmed down, and his face began to return to normal.
Xu Changqing also admired this guy's endurance a little, this is simply a 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles'.
But Xu Changqing's words did not only stimulate him, but also contained a lot of core news.
"Hey."
Dolgon suddenly let out a long sigh, and his whole body seemed to be several years old, and the sharp energy around his body was shattered.
said with a wry smile: "Xu Changqing, I can't imagine that the person who knows me best is actually you...... You also have a daughter, and you want to know how I feel. It's useless to say that's useless. You say this when I can't sleep every night...... I thought about it many times, but I never dared to face it...... But if you say it today, it may not sound good, but I know it's right. What you say, I will think about it carefully. ”
As he spoke, he poured Xu Changqing a glass of wine with his own hands, and poured a full glass himself: "You are right, perhaps, this is the last face-to-face conversation in our lives." I also want to tell you something. Xu Changqing, you are a hero in the world, and you are a hero in the world. I want you to ...... Don't abuse Tungor because of what I am. If I lose, do as you say. I'll add one more. Everything I have with the white flag will be left to Tungor, or to you and the children of Tungor. If you lose......"
He thought for a moment: "I will keep your bloodline, but I will not leave them in this land of God." Just let them go...... Let's go live in Nanyang. ”
