As soon as they heard this, everyone was stunned.

The Qing Emperor actually summoned this minion? And there seems to be a hint of respect in the wording, what does that mean?

Even Wu Zhong himself was stunned, he had been in this Liaodong for more than half a year, and he had never even seen the shadow of Huang Taiji in this imperial village, why did all of a sudden, this Tartar Emperor actually want to summon himself to meet him?

What's the situation?

Here, even some people don't know Wu Zhong's original identity, but the steward knows, he saw that Wu Zhong was still stunned, so he immediately pointed at Wu Zhong and shouted: "What are you still doing in a daze?" The emperor summoned you, did you hear that? ”

At this time, everyone's eyes couldn't help but turn to him, and only then did they know that the emperor was going to summon this person, and it turned out that he was still from the general banner of the Ming Kingdom Jinyiwei?

The yellow coat saw that Wu Zhong was dressed in tatters and there were whip marks on his body, so he couldn't help frowning, and immediately pointed to the steward and said, "Quick, change clothes with him, Your Majesty summons, don't delay!" ”

Huang Taiji is in Liaodong, it is a heaven-like existence, and no one dares to disobey it.

When the steward heard this, he immediately looked embarrassed, looking at the clothes on Wu Zhong's body, they were tattered and tattered, and they were definitely very smelly, how could he wear such tattered clothes by being a dignified housekeeper?

However, the yellow coat stared at him, representing the emperor. Besides, if you want to see the emperor, you can't let this dog slave be dressed in such tatters, right?

He was thinking about it, but Wu Zhong looked sincerely frightened, and when he arrived in front of him, he quickly took off his clothes, and said: "Hurry up, the emperor has summoned you, but you can't delay!" ”

As he finished speaking, the tattered clothes were handed to him, and all of a sudden, a foul smell hit his nose and almost smoked him to death.

The bullshit princess didn't interfere with them changing clothes, but just asked the yellow coat a little curiously, "Why did my father summon this dog minion?" ”

"Back to Her Royal Highness the Princess, it seems to be for the sake of military affairs." The yellow coat was respectful to the princess, and immediately replied, "Many princes and Baylors are here. ”

As soon as he heard such a big formation, the steward had to endure it, and he couldn't afford to delay, so he immediately took off his clothes and handed them over, but he didn't answer Wu Zhong, and confessed to the princess, so he only wore thin underwear and hurriedly ran to Zhuangzi.

Wu Zhong put on this clothes, and couldn't help but praise loudly before the steward left: "It's so warm!" ”

"Dog minion, summoned by my father, don't get out of here." When this bullshit princess heard this, she was a little annoyed and said, "When you come back, you will take the whip yourself, fifty strokes, lack of discipline!" ”

When Wu Zhong heard this, he stared at her, and just when she was about to get angry again, he immediately gave a smile, and then hurriedly followed the yellow coat away.

At this time, no one thinks that with this dog minion, can he still turn over? Even Wu Zhong didn't think that he could change his fate, at most he secretly reminded himself in his heart that he must seize this opportunity to see if he could change the situation in front of him!

…………

On the Chongzheng Palace, Huang Taiji sat on the throne, and as the yellow coat said, the most senior leaders of the Jianyu such as Daishan, Dolgon, Azig, Qierharang, Duoduo, and Haoge, and even traitors like Fan Wencheng were there.

They all had serious expressions, and it was clear that they were definitely in big trouble.

This kind of formation, even when Dolgon came back from the pass and reported the defeat to Huang Taiji, was much greater.

When Wu Zhong entered the hall, he immediately attracted everyone's attention.

After he had received the salute, Dolgon said to the Emperor, "Your Majesty, he is the one mentioned by his brother. ”

As soon as he heard this, Wu Zhong realized that it was Dolgon who mentioned it to Huang Taiji, but he didn't know what to do, and after more than half a year, he thought of himself?

He was wondering, but he heard Huang Taiji say in a very kind tone; "Flat!"

After seeing Wu Zhong stand up, he asked again: "What did you do when you were making the Jinyi Wei General Banner in the Ming Kingdom?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, the slave will be responsible for detecting and spying on the news of hundreds of officials and interrogating prisoners." Wu Zhong replied respectfully with doubts.

"How do you do these things? Or do you collect money to do things and let your subordinates do it? ”

After Huang Taiji finished asking this, Dolgon was on the side, looked at Wu Zhong, and reminded in a stern tone: "Answer truthfully, dare to have a trace of lies, the consequences are not something you can bear!" ”

Is this an inquiry into the internal affairs of Jinyiwei? Wu Zhong was a little puzzled, he felt that it was impossible for this Tartar Emperor to have the spare time to investigate whether he was corrupt during his tenure as the chief banner of the Jinyi Guard, right?

There is nothing to hide from these things. Therefore, he replied truthfully: "Back to Your Majesty, the slave is the subordinate of Li Ruolian, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and he is usually not treated by the Lord of the Jinyi Guard. Therefore, the things that collect money are all over there, and the one who really does things is Lord Li's side, and the slave is a hard worker, and he has to do it himself, but there is no credit! ”

Hearing this, Huang Taiji did not immediately ask again, but after thinking for a while, he asked Wu Zhong about the specific details of the spy news and the interrogation of the prisoner.

This is what Wu Zhong is good at, and there is nothing that cannot be said, therefore, Wu Zhong is honest, there is one to say and two to say.

Speaking of which, in this world, the most professional in this area is naturally Jinyiwei. His professionalism in this regard, just after talking for a while, made these Liaodong Tartars refreshed, it turned out that it could be like this!

After Huang Taiji listened, he asked Wu Zhong to go outside the palace to wait for the order.

Then, he looked at the leaders of the temple and asked, "How is this person?" ”

"Your Majesty, my brother thinks that he can be allowed to train and work carefully, get the news of the customs as soon as possible, and re-contact the merchants in the customs, otherwise, Liaodong is bitterly cold, and we can't take the mountain customs, and the situation will be very grim in the future!" Dorgon looked left and right, and when he saw that no one else was talking, he had no choice but to stand up and suggest.

It turned out that Duoduo and Haoge hurriedly returned and reported to Huang Taiji the news about the Jin Shang and the Ming Emperor in the Guannai, which surprised Huang Taiji.

How important the Jin merchants were to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, Huang Taiji knew best in his heart.

In the past, the Jin merchants did not send materials to trade for a long time, which was already abnormal. And the emperor of the Ming Kingdom drove such a major event as the imperial expedition, and he did not see the Jin merchants send a letter to Liaodong, which is abnormal. There are all kinds of signs that there is a problem on the Jin Shang's side.

Now that he heard the advice of Duoduo and others, Huang Taiji knew that it was not that the Jin merchants did not make money, but that they had already died for money!

What's the detail? Huang Taiji didn't know anything. Hearing that the situation in the customs area has improved, this is even more bad news for him. The most critical thing is the destruction of the Jin merchants, which dealt a great blow to the Qing Dynasty.

It's just this year, without the transportation of Jin merchants' materials, Liaodong has more than 200,000 more animals, and this food problem has begun to appear. The gold, silver and jewelry that was stolen were all in vain if they were not Jin merchants, and they became scrap copper and rotten iron.

And on the Liaodong side, if people other than the Han are sent to Guannai, they will definitely not work. But if it is a Han Chinese who are loyal to the Qing Dynasty, they are all Liaodong Han people, with a Liaodong accent, and the goal will be obvious. It is very unfavorable for those who want to do big things when entering the customs.

As a result, Dolgon recommended Wu Zhong, the chief banner of Jinyiwei, hoping that he could solve this very troublesome matter for the Qing Dynasty.

"This person does seem to have the ability to spy on news." It was rare for Dai Shan to speak, but at this time, when it was about the future of the Qing Dynasty, he also expressed his opinion.

Obviously, Wu Zhong's profession should have convinced these Liaodong barbarians.

Several other people also spoke one after another, indicating that this person could be used. Let him train carefully for Daqing, and then send him back to the customs as soon as possible.

Huang Taiji listened and nodded slightly, and just when he was about to make a decision, Duoduo seemed to remember something, and then said: "Your Majesty, the Ming troops who were interrogated and captured, it seems that the current commander of the Jinyi Guard is already the Li Ruolian he said!" ”

Originally, this matter had little to do with them. But now, Wu Zhong mentioned it, and Duoduo remembered it and said it by the way.

"Oh?" When Huang Taiji heard this, he couldn't help but be a little surprised. He could hear clearly just now that this Jinyi Wei Zongqi was Li Ruolian's person.

After this "oh", Huang Taiji fell into deep thought, and it was obvious that he was very concerned about what Duoduo had said.

When the other people in the hall saw him like this, they knew what he was thinking, so they waited silently, not daring to disturb him.

After a long while, he suddenly raised his head, looked at the people below him and asked, "You say, if I send him back to do things for our Qing Dynasty, can this be done?" ”

Obviously, Li Ruolian is already the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and if Wu Zhong can go back, he will inevitably be reused. For spying on the news of the Ming Kingdom, doing some other things is far more valuable than ordinary detailed work.

However, when he said this, he immediately attracted the opposition of others.

"Your Majesty, no, if he goes back, he will definitely not work for my Qing Dynasty!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, he went back to the prosperous Central Plains, and he was covered by the commander of the Jinyi Guard, how could he still work for my Qing Dynasty!"

“……”

Among these objections, Dolgon thought a little more and said: "Even if he is allowed to kill the king and let him go back, it is estimated that the courtiers will not be of much use?" It can be said that he was forced by my Daqing, and he was commanded by Jinyiwei to speak for him, and he would be fine if he didn't do it. All in all, it's not appropriate! ”

Huang Taiji listened to these opinions of theirs, and obviously agreed in his heart. In this way, Wu Zhong can only train for him, which can still be done.

However, such a good opportunity may break into the fine work of the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom, but he can't use it, which makes him a little unwilling!

While he was struggling, someone suddenly said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the slave has a plan, but I guarantee that he will not dare to rebel against my Qing Dynasty!" ”

Hearing this, Huang Taiji was overjoyed, and couldn't help but turn his head to look, and was even happier to see that it was Fan Wencheng who spoke. Because he knew that Fan Wencheng would not boast casually. When he said that, he must have been sure.

So, he couldn't help but ask happily: "What is Qing's plan, come quickly!" ”

The other people in the hall were very surprised when they heard this, and they also turned their heads to look at this minion, I don't know what kind of tricks he has to make that Jinyi Wei Zongqi not forced to clear up?

Fan Wencheng seemed to be confident, and immediately replied to Huang Taiji: "Your Majesty, the slave knows a lot about the monarchs and ministers of the Ming Kingdom, so it can be arranged like this......"

……

Wu Zhong, who was standing outside the hall gate, didn't feel the cold breeze blowing on his face, he was just thinking about the experience in the hall just now.

One thing, he was sure. I shouldn't have to suffer anymore, and I will soon be reused by Jianyu. If you don't do it, you just keep doing your old job. For this, he is not repulsed, and even faintly excited.

Therefore, in this way, he has been exposed to more information, and this lurking at a huge cost will also make sense. Next, in accordance with the emperor's will, read the news in a low voice, but I don't know what means the emperor can use to get these news?

While he was thinking about these things, he suddenly saw the door of the temple open, and then these leaders of Jianyu came out, obviously scattered.

It's just that one thing that surprised him a little was that when these Jianyu leaders passed by, everyone was looking at him, as if there was something special about him.

When these people left, another person came out of the hall, looking like a Han person, walked towards him, smiled and said: "Wu Zongqi, Your Majesty handed you over to this official, go back with this official!" ”

Wu Zhong can hear this opening, this is definitely Han, and he can hear it from the accent. However, the person who can discuss matters in the palace is definitely the confidant of the Tartar Emperor, such a Han person, I don't know who it is? He was a little curious.

At this time, there was no choice for Wu Zhong, so he could only follow obediently.

"This official is a member of the Secretarial Academy, surnamed Fan, and is the seventeenth grandson of the former Song Dynasty Fan Wenzhenggong."

Wu Zhong, who was walking behind, couldn't help but be taken aback when he heard the news, and said in a lost voice: "Is that Fan Wenzhenggong who worries about the world first, and enjoys the joy of the world after the world?" ”

He is really a little difficult to accept, Fan Wenzhenggong's descendants actually took refuge in the Tartars and worked hard for the Tartars, I don't know if Fan Wenzhenggong knew underground, would he die without a blind eye?

Fan Wencheng obviously guessed what Wu Zhong would think in his heart, he didn't make a fuss, but just said lightly: "The emperor of the Ming Kingdom is mediocre, the traitorous ministers are in charge, the thieves are everywhere, and the people are not happy. This official is adhering to the will of the ancestors, choosing the good master, worrying about the worries of the world first, and enjoying the joy of the world after the world. ”

"......" Wu Zhong was stunned when he heard this, and he wanted to spray it immediately in his heart, it was all an excuse. However, after the mouth opened, it became: "The adult is wise and far-sighted, and the villain admires!" ”

I don't know if Wu Zhong would have been killed if he knew that the emperor could know what he said.

Fan Wencheng's attitude is very good, he seems to be very affectionate to Wu Zhong, the two of them, each with their own purpose, just for a while, as if they have known each other for a long time.
