"Master Li, this, this negotiation has not started yet, you are going to let me clear up and cede the land of Lushun in southern Liaoning, this, this is inevitably ......" Ning finished my face was embarrassed, and I couldn't speak.

"It's not negotiable." Li Xiao glanced at him and said coldly: "Ning finished me, you have to make it clear that now you are begging my Tang Army to negotiate, not my Tang Army asking for peace talks with you." If the Qing court refuses to agree to this condition, then we don't have to waste any more time. This king is in this sea city, waiting for Dolgon's men to come and attack with his troops and horses. ”

Li Xiao's categorical and ruthless words made Fan Wencheng Ning and the two of us very embarrassed. The two subconsciously glanced at each other, and both found deep helplessness and helplessness in each other's eyes.

People are swordsmen, I am fish and meat!

The country is weakened, and the envoy is doubly humiliated!

"Two, from Jiang's point of view, it doesn't hurt that your Qing court actually agreed." Seeing this embarrassing situation, Jiang Yueguang on the side took the opportunity to interject: "Two bachelors, forgive the students for being direct, this land of Lushun was captured by our Tang Army twice a few years ago. Two times of swords and soldiers, this land of Lushun is now a city in decline, the people are scarce, for the Qing court, it can be described as a tasteless chicken ribs. Such a dilapidated and useless city was ceded to our Tang army, and what real loss could there be for the Qing court? If we can win the trust of our army with Arthur City, the two countries can really finally reach a peace agreement, eliminate the flames of war, reconcile the two sides, and the people of the Qing Kingdom can recuperate in peace and stability from now on. ”

"It's just, Master Li, Jiang Zanhua, that being said, this matter is very important, and I can't wait to be the master, so I can only return to Shengjing first, go and report to the right regent Dolgon, and let the above make a decision." Ning Wan hung his head and spoke weakly.

"Then you can go back." Li Xiao was expressionless, and he didn't even look at him: "After I go back, tell Dolgon truthfully that this king has no patience to argue with him, and he doesn't have the energy to talk nonsense with him." He agreed to cut the machine and let Lushun give us the army, just talk, if he didn't agree, he would lead the troops to fight, and there was no need for any nonsense at all. Alright, you can go back, send off! “

Li Xiao mercilessly gave the guest order, and Fan Wencheng and Ning Wan stood up in despair, and reluctantly followed Jiang Yueguang away.

Fan Wencheng and his entourage, after leaving the boundary of Haicheng in a gloomy manner, Ning Wan couldn't help but scold: "Li Xiao who entered the dog! What the hell are you bulls, you are just a broken hunter in Liaodong, and now you are like five or six people like dogs, you humiliate me and other people like this, Lao Tzu can't swallow this breath, Lao Tzu is not finished with you! “

"Okay, Shifu, stop scolding. There is a saying that when the country is weakened and the envoy is humiliated, why should we complain too much. Just let me wait until I go back and report to the regent on the right truth. Fan Wencheng shook his head and sighed on the side.

Five days later, the group returned to Shengjing, and immediately went to the palace of Prince Rui to meet Dorgon.

After listening to Fan Wencheng Ning's report from the two of us, Dolgon almost tilted his nose.

"Bang!"

With a bang, a fine porcelain teacup fell the terrazzo blue brick floor and was smashed.

"His grandmother's, Li Xiao is too deceitful! This guy is really shameless, he has not even negotiated, and there is this bastard demand, asking me to cede Lushun to them in the Qing Dynasty, and I have to use this as a prerequisite before I can agree to peace negotiations, this, this is simply a great shame! Dorgon was so angry that his beard was shaking.

"Yes, Lord Regent, the minions think so. Li Xiao is confident that the Tang army is powerful and the soldiers can fight, and these nostrils are almost up to the sky. I think that when we were in Haicheng, we were extremely humiliated and abused in every way, and we didn't have the dignity of a messenger at all! Judging from the minion, he looks down on us on the surface, but in his heart, he completely looks down on you, the regent. "Ning finished looking at my face, and immediately added a sentence with oil and vinegar.

Dolgon's face suddenly became more and more contorted and angry, and he paced anxiously back and forth in the room like a trapped beast.

At this time, Fan Wencheng replied in a low voice on the side: "Right Regent, please forgive me for speaking bluntly, Li Xiao's request, I still have to consider it carefully, and it is best to agree to it." ”

"Oh, Xian Dou, what you said seems to be completely for Li Xiao's words, but why?" A cold light flashed in Dorgon's eyes.

"Regent, Wei Chen secretly thinks that the major affairs of the state should not be acted rashly. Li Xiao's request seemed to be excessive, but the regent must not be impatient and immediately vetoed it. You must know that whether we can reach a peace agreement with the Tang Army and whether we can give the Qing Dynasty a chance to develop and recuperate in stability is very important to the rejuvenation of our Qing Dynasty! Therefore, Weichen believes that if this is indeed a condition and a peace agreement can be reached with the Tang army in the end, then it is acceptable to cede this dilapidated Lushun City to the Tang army. Of course, if the regent thinks that Weichen's words are a great rebellion, Weichen is willing to accept punishment and has no second word. “

After Fan Wencheng finished speaking, he immediately knelt on the ground and bowed, looking obedient and punished.

Seeing his fake appearance, Dolgon was very disgusted in his heart, but on the surface he had to pretend to be generous and tolerant. He took a few steps closer, stretched out his hand and said, "Why should Xiandou be like this, this king is not a person who cannot be admonished. This king will surely think carefully about your words. The two of you have worked hard back and forth, so let's step back first. “

After Fan Wencheng and Ning Wan and I retreated, Dolgon sat on the tiger head chair with a gloomy face, almost dripping water.

Damn, Li Xiao is really vicious and greedy enough, he can even hold negotiations and use it to make an offer, which is really shameless. It's just that this lion opens his mouth so widely, sets preconditions so blindly, and seems to have no way to counter him, which is really a wordless sadness.

Dorgon had been thinking about it for a long time in his room, and his heart was not a good thing. Anxious in his heart, he decided to go and talk to Bumu Butai about it. Perhaps, this clever and resourceful woman will give herself a good advice.

Moreover, if she, the queen mother, finally agrees to this matter, then she can undoubtedly share a lot of pressure for herself, and she can also better block the mouths of the courtiers.

Dorgon got up and headed for the palace.

He hurriedly came to Yanqing Palace, but was told that the Empress Dowager Bumu Butai had gone to the Yangxin Palace to check Emperor Shunzhi's studies.

Dolgon immediately rushed to the Temple of Cultivating Hearts, and when he came to the door, he did not wait for the eunuch to enter to report, and immediately entered the door.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw that Bumu Butai was sitting with the little emperor on a bright yellow brocade satin mat, and the mother and son were studying Manchu calligraphy together.

The afternoon sun, bright and warm, reflected the sweet smile on Bumu Butai's face even more moving. Her eyes when she looked at Fu Lin were full of love and concern.

Fu Lin was young and held the pen unsteadily, Bu Mu Butai stepped forward, grabbed his right hand with one hand, and wrote the Manchu characters one by one very carefully.

"Eniang, I don't want to learn to write, I want to go horseback riding." The little emperor was tired of writing, and complained in a milky voice.

"Your Majesty, you are now the king of a country, and you want to lead thousands of subjects, how can you be afraid of hardship and tiredness, and only do things according to your own preferences?" Bu Mu Butai said softly: "If you don't write well and learn well, and only think about eating, drinking, and riding wild horses every day, but you don't have the slightest ability to be an emperor, then in the future, which of the subjects and people in the world will be willing to obey you, and which one is willing to sincerely assist you?" “

"Oh, E-Niang said yes, I know, I write well." The little emperor nodded vigorously as if he didn't understand.

"Well, the emperor is really sensible, E-Niang is so happy in her heart." Bumu Butai touched his shaved head very lovingly, and looked loving.

Dorgon watched all this from afar, but there was an indescribable sourness in his heart. His face was strained, his eyes glazed over, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Finally, he coughed lightly, prompting the mother and son of their own arrival. At this time, Bumu Butai and the little emperor raised their heads and noticed Dolgon at the door.

Seeing from afar, Dolgon's face was melancholy, and Bumu Butai almost intuitively guessed that Dolgon must have encountered something unpleasant again, and was about to come and tell him.

Could it be that the negotiations with the Tang Army did not go well......

She sighed softly, squeezed out a smile, and whispered to the little emperor: "Emperor, it's not too early today, just learn this first, and let the eunuch take you to the garden to ride a horse." “

Hearing Bu Mu Butai's sudden promise, the little emperor was overjoyed, and immediately threw down the pen and paper, and ran briskly outside the hall, and the two eunuchs hurriedly followed.

As he ran to Dorgon's side, the little emperor raised his head and looked at the stern-looking and tall uncle with a look of awe, who had been shouting loudly, like a duck whose neck had been choked, and he did not dare to say anything at once.

Dorgon tried to squeeze a gentle smile at the little emperor, but the little emperor who looked up at him was subconsciously trembling.

Dolgon's smile froze.

Fortunately, at this time, the two eunuchs behind rushed up, and only then did they break this embarrassing scene, they hurriedly saluted Dolgon, then took the little emperor's hand, and quickly left the Heart Cultivation Palace.

At this time, Bu Mu Butai waved his hand lightly, and the rest of the eunuchs and palace maids in the Heart Cultivation Hall immediately retreated.

A huge heart cultivation hall instantly became empty, and only the two of them remained.

"Dolgon, what's the matter, what's going on? What is it that makes you so anxious to come here to see me? Bumu Butai took a few steps forward and asked softly.

"Alas, the negotiation with Li Xiao's guy didn't go well." Dolgon's face was sad: "Da Yu'er, you don't know how greedy and hateful Li Xiao's thief is!" What did he say, if our army wants to negotiate with it, it must first cede Lushun to the Tang army before we can start peace negotiations, otherwise there will be no ...... talks."

Dolgon's face was pale, and his voice was low, and he whispered the whole thing to Bumubutai, and finally let out a long sigh.

After listening to this, Bumu Butai's face was very solemn.

Her autumn-like eyes looked silently at Dolgon, and gradually, there was an indescribable determination in them.

She knew that this matter was actually not negotiable. Li Xiao saw the mentality of the Qing court that was eager to negotiate, so the lion opened his mouth and threatened to cede Lushun City, which really saw the weakness of the Qing court, and it was normal for him to make such a request.

It's just that Dolgon is saying this to himself now, is it really that he can't make up his mind?

Not really.

In fact, it was he who wanted himself, the so-called Queen Mother, to be like a rubber stamp, and finally decided to make a decision, so as to share a little bad reputation for himself in the future.

The lover who loves him wholeheartedly, on the surface is like glue with himself, but secretly he is also so selfish, and he uses secret calculations like this, so that Bu Mu Butai has an indescribable sadness in his heart.

"Da Yu'er, look at ......"

"Needless to say. I agreed to the cession of Lushun. Bumu Butai turned his head and looked into the distance, but his face was indescribably firm: "The current Qing Dynasty can no longer withstand any wars. If you can use the land of Lushun City, it will eventually be exchanged for a peace agreement between the two countries. Well, it was worth ceding Lushun City to the Tang Army. ”

Bu Mu Butai's voice continued to come: "Right Regent, this matter, you told the courtiers that the Empress Dowager has decided and has nothing to do with you. In the future, if I leave an infamy in the history books, it will only be that I, the queen mother, have no vision or resourcefulness, and have nothing to do with you, the regent of the Qing Dynasty. ”

Bumu Butai's firm and clear words made Dolgon's heart feel ashamed, and even his face was a little feverish.

For a while, he was stuck in his throat, and he didn't know how to express his emotions, so he could only slowly stretch out his hand, take her into his arms, and slowly hug her tightly in his arms.

The woman's crystal and cold tears fell from the beautiful face.

Bu Mu Butai, who had only been resolute and resolute, turned into a soft and pitiful little woman again, and she whimpered, buried her head in his broad shoulders, and wept straight away.

"Da Yu'er, I, the regent of the Qing Dynasty, am incompetent, I have really wronged you......" Dolgon's eyes also flashed with tears, I don't know if it's true or not.

Bumu Butai cried more and more uncontrollably, and Chu Chuxiang shrugged his shoulders.

"Da Yu'er, don't worry, this regent will do his best to negotiate with the Tang Army, and he will definitely make the position of your mother and son as stable as Mount Tai." Dolgon's voice was a little choked, and he wondered if he was really moved.

With the queen mother's final word, Fan Wencheng and Ning Wan, who are negotiation envoys, suddenly have a lot of confidence.

After the two of them returned to Haicheng, they immediately reported to Li Xiaoyu that the Qing court was willing to hand over Arthur City as a condition in exchange for the smooth negotiation between the two armies.

Li Xiao was overjoyed when he heard this, so he immediately ordered to take the sentry horses of Battalion C of Xingzhong Town in Haicheng to Lushun by boat to receive them. 8)
