In the middle of the night, the lights in the Xianwang ironware shop are still not extinguished. From a distance, two figures can still be seen faintly swaying on the thick papier-mâché window.

It was Hao Zeren, the leader of the Tang Army, and his subordinate Chen Juyi, who were talking in a whispering and earnestly.

It turned out that although Haoge tried to strengthen his vigilance, he kept the matter of Ning Wan and my party coming to Shengjing to talk about it quite secretly, and tried not to let him know. However, in Shengjing City, the Tang Army's eyes and ears were everywhere, and they quickly detected that the Qing army's movements were different, and soon passed the news that Ning Wan and my party came to Shengjing and were received by Haoge to the shopkeeper of the Xianwang Iron Shop, that is, the place where Hao Zeren, the head of the Tang Army's fine work in Shengjing.

Hao Zeren's face was gloomy, and Chen Juyi's face was also solemn, and it could be seen that the content of this conversation was very heavy and important.

"Shopkeeper Hao, in my opinion, Ning Wan's visit to Shenyang this time must be to negotiate peace with Haoge." Chen Juyi frowned.

Hao Zeren nodded with a serious face, agreeing with Chen Juyi's opinion, and he replied in a deep voice: "What you said is very right. Ning Wan and I came to Shengjing this time, not like Fan Wencheng last time, I was captured and killed by Haoge's troops, but I was able to be summoned by Haoge in person, which is indeed very suspicious, he must have ulterior motives. Therefore, I guess he must have brought the conditions that made Hauge excited. ”

Hao Zeren paused for a moment, and then said: "In my opinion, what can impress Haoge the most is undoubtedly the two armies to negotiate together, make peace with each other, and end the civil war state of the Qing Dynasty." Therefore, when they met each other this time, they must have thought of secretly negotiating peace, so as to renew the internal truce, tear up the alliance, and turn around to deal with our army again, which is basically certain. ”

"Shopkeeper Hao, then in your opinion, what are the conditions for peace talks with me?" Chen Juyi asked with a wink. "What kind of peace negotiation conditions can impress Hauge?"

Hao Zeren's face was solemn, he pondered for a long time, but he could only shake his head, and then said slowly: "This is difficult to say, we lack information, it is really difficult to guess out of thin air." The plan for today is to urgently report the emergency situation here to Lord Li, so that the adults can prepare as soon as possible. “

"Shopkeeper Hao, now Master Li, isn't he leading the troops in southern Liaoning? Our flying pigeon messenger can't send news to Master Li. Chen Juyi looked worried.

"No way, do your best, let it be fate." Hao Zeren let out a long sigh: "I hope that Shandong can get in touch with Master Li as soon as possible." Those of us who are subordinates should do our part. “

Chen Juyi nodded, and was about to go down to make arrangements, but suddenly remembered something, he hesitated for a moment, and still asked Hao Zeren: "Shopkeeper Hao, if Hao Ge really reaches an agreement with Dolgon, turns his head, and rejoins our Tang Army as an enemy, then wouldn't it be ...... for us to wait?"

He didn't finish the rest of the words, but of course Hao Zeren already knew what he wanted to say.

Hao Zeren smiled bitterly and said slowly: "Righteousness, since we are doing things for Lord Li, the whole family is full of Lord Li's kindness, how can there be a reason to be afraid of death when something happens." Now that we are the mouth of a tiger and under the close surveillance of the Qing army, it is almost impossible to leave immediately. If Hauge really wants to completely turn his face with us, we can't help but draw the knife into a quick one, and see death as if we were going home, what are the regrets. “

When Hao Zeren said this, a cold light flashed in his eyes, he snorted coldly, and continued: "However, in my opinion, even if Hauge is in alliance with Dolgon and stops the civil war and works together with the outside world, as long as his mind can still maintain normal thinking, he may not have the determination and courage to move us. “

"Oh? Why does Shopkeeper Hao think so? “

"Because we have the powerful Tang Army as the backing." Hao Zeren sneered: "Even if Haoge betrays the alliance and turns around to become an enemy of us for personal gain, he should at least know the truth that the two countries are at war and do not kill them." If he really dares to kill us in order to get rid of our relationship, then this shopkeeper can be sure that Tang Jun will not spare him in the future, and he will definitely make him pay a heavy price! “

"Shopkeeper Hao, listening to what you say, it does make sense. That Hauge just wants to attack us, but he is afraid of the might of our army, and he is afraid that he will have many scruples and dare not mess around. We really don't need to scare ourselves first. After listening to Hao Zeren's words, Chen Juyi's face was relaxed.

Hao Zeren nodded and replied: "If Hauge can take a long-term view and be smarter, then, for him, even if he wants to be in harmony with Dorgon, then the best way for him to deal with us is to adopt a detached and cold attitude towards us on the surface, but secretly continue to keep in touch with us, and one more channel of communication, which is the smartest thing to do." After all, in my opinion, Hauge is not Dorgon's opponent, even if he reaches an agreement with Dolgon and the two sides are back together, he may not be the ultimate winner, but is very likely to be squeezed out of the center of power by Dolgon after a period of temporary stability, these things can be predicted. “

"What do you mean, Shopkeeper Hao, but when the time comes, Hauge, who was secretly attacked by Dolgon and looks like a lost dog, will still come to us in disgrace?" Chen Juyi asked.

"This is an inevitable trend!" Hao Zeren sneered: "If Hao Ge is really squeezed out of the Qing court, the only one who can vote is not us. Therefore, if he knew each other, he would never do such a stupid thing as killing chickens and taking eggs. And in our opinion, even if Hauge turns his face with us temporarily, he is just a fish that has temporarily unhooked, and when he is at his strength, he will definitely bite the hook again. The shopkeeper will never be mistaken about this. “

Chen Juyi looked relieved, he stood up proudly, and said loudly: "Okay! After listening to the words of the shopkeeper Hao, I became more confident. Then I will send a letter to Lord Li first, and I believe that Lord Li also has enough means to deal with this group of shameless Xiaoxiao. “

Hao Zeren was preparing for sending a letter, and only a day later, Hauge made a decision to let Ning Wan and I continue to come to Prince Su's mansion to continue to discuss the details of the next peace talks with him and Sony.

After I was glad to come, and after the guests were seated, Hauge eagerly asked him one of the questions that he was most concerned about.

"Rather than finish me, Dolgon has told you who he intends to make emperor?"

"Prince Yusu, the regent's intention is to support Fu Lin, the son of Concubine Zhuang of Yongfu Palace, as the emperor." Ning Wan replied with a calm face.

"Oh, I chose Fulin ......" Hauge and Sony looked at each other with complicated eyes.

The two of them quickly opened the small abacus in their hearts, what does it mean that Dolgon chose Fulin.

"Master Ning, the first emperor has many heirs, even if he doesn't pick Prince Su to ascend the throne, according to the rules of appointing the virtuous and selecting the able, it will not be Fulin's turn to be the lord of the Qing Dynasty. Could it be that there is something hidden in this? Sonny twisted his beard and asked Ning Wan in a deep voice.

Sony's words were vague, but in fact, he had quietly pointed out that Dolgon and Concubine Zhuang of Yongfu Palace, the mother of Fulin, had many peach-colored secrets, and the two hooked up with a secret song that was also well known to everyone in the Qing Dynasty. Therefore, he suspected that Dolgon's choice of Fulin as a candidate was extremely selfish.

Ning Wanfa seemed to have expected Sonny to ask such a question, he chuckled lightly, and then replied: "Sonny University, the reason why the regent chose Fulin as a candidate for the throne is actually for the sake of you, Prince Su. ”

"Yo ho, Dolgon is so kind, but the sun is coming out in the west." Hauge sneered, and then shouted: "Rather finish me!" Are you trying to tell some lies to prevaricate the king?! Dolgon's arrangement must be selfish and selfish, and it must have ulterior motives. Rather finish me, you quickly tell the truth to this king! “

Ning Wan sighed lightly and hurriedly replied: "Prince Su, even if you have 10,000 guts, I don't dare to deceive you!" The reason why the regent chose Master Fulin as a candidate for the throne was indeed because of Prince Su's considerations. “

"Then you can tell this king a good story, Dorgon, how he thinks about this king." Hauge's face was ugly.

After Ning finished speaking, I gave up my hand, and after a little relief, I said in a deep voice to Haoge: "Prince Su, please forgive me for my selfish speculation and say the following words. That is, the regent thinks that now that he wants you and him to assist in the government, it is best for the emperor to be young, and I believe that Prince Su understands this deep meaning. “

After I said this, I deliberately paused to see Hauge's reaction. Sure enough, when Hauge heard this, his face changed slightly, and he kept brushing his beard.

Ning finished judging the situation and continued: "Prince Su, considering that I have a lineage of the Qing Dynasty and want to be the emperor, it is appropriate to take my son-in-law. Then, among the five concubines of the first emperor, there are 3 sons-in-law, in addition to you, there are also Fulin and Bogol. These two should be the most suitable candidates for the throne. “

"Why, then, not Libaugol, but Fulin? What is the purpose of Dolgon's approach? Hauge was scolded.

"Prince Su, don't worry. The reason why between Fulin and Bogol was that the regent finally chose the master of Fulin, which was also forced by the current situation, and because of the consideration of Prince Su, the regent thought that choosing Fulin was the best choice. ”

Ning Wan paused, and said hurriedly: "Although, in terms of age, Fu Lin is older, and compared to Bogol, the time to be in power in the future will be nearly four years earlier. In this way, it seems that Fulin is older and has a disadvantage in competition, but Fulin has one of the biggest advantages that Bogor will never have. ”

"What's the merit?" Hauge asked.

Ning Wan smiled slightly: "Prince Yusu, the reason why he finally chose the master of Fulin is his mother of Concubine Zhuang of Yongfu Palace. ”

"Oh, I see. It seems that Dolgon really takes care of his own friend, and what he says is for the sake of this king, it is really ridiculous! Hauge unceremoniously punctured the peachy relationship, with a teasing smile on his face.

Ning Wan's face changed, and he shook his head again and again: "No, no." Prince Su, you misunderstood the regent. You also know that according to the requirements of the Qing royal family, let children with Mongolian blood inherit the throne, in line with the requirements of the Manchu and Mongolian union, Fulin has Manchu and Mongolian blood, and Bogol is also half of Mongolian blood, which seems to be the two people side by side, but on closer examination, the two are very different.

"Oh? How different is it? ”

"This is because, Bogol's mother, Yijing's concubine Abahai Borzigit, she is a native of the Han Division, and it took Tiancong 9 years to become obedient, and after 8 years, it is really hard to say whether the Han Department has completely surrendered to the Qing Dynasty." Ning Wan's face showed a solemn expression, and he continued: "But Fulin's mother is a Horqin person, and she has always had contacts since the Nine Coalition Army attacked Jianzhou, and if you start from Guishun Dajin, it has been about 28 years, and she can be regarded as a loyal ally of the Qing Dynasty. Therefore, in terms of loyalty, Horqin is much more at ease than Chahar, and how many marriages between Horqin and the Qing Dynasty, and how many marriages between Chahar and the Qing Dynasty, are even more worlds apart. Prince Su, what a wise man you are, how could you not see this? “

After Ning finished my words, Haoge and Sonny were speechless, and the two looked at each other, both frowning and thinking deeply.

Ning Wan looked at his face, knowing that the two of them were already moved, and continued to add firewood: "There is another very important point, that is, Bogol's mother Borzigit, when she returned to the Qing Dynasty, she still had a son of Lin Dan Khan in her belly, and when she was in Chongde for 8 years, she was already 8 years old, if Bogol became the emperor, his brother's power would never be small, in this way, it is equivalent to having an elder brother who wants to share power with the regent and Prince Su in advance, which is absolutely impossible for the regent to accept, of course, for Prince Su, you I don't want to face such an outcome. “

After Ning finished my words, he completely hit Hauge's weakness.

He knew that as the descendants of Lin Dan Khan, their true attitude towards the Qing Dynasty was by no means gratitude and obedience, on the contrary, it should be full of humiliation and hatred.

These various questions, not only of Dorgon and Hauge, but of all ministers and princes, had to be considered in the selection of Fulin and Bogol as emperors, and they were completely careless.

After all, in terms of imperial succession, political stability is the key point, and it is also the most important point.

Speaking of which, in fact, the problem is already clear, that is, Hauge actually has no choice but to choose Fulin as the emperor, and has no other choice.

In this way, after I said that Dolgon's choice of Fulin as the Qing Emperor was for the sake of Haoge, it can be barely justified.

Hauge had mixed feelings, and he looked at Sonny with a pleading gaze, and Sonny nodded at him imperceptibly.

"Okay, choose Fulin as the emperor, and this king also agrees."

On this biggest and most important issue, Hauge finally came to an agreement with Dolgon.

Once this biggest problem is solved, the rest will be taken care of.

Three days later, Hauge reached a preliminary agreement with Ning Wan and others after several negotiations.

The content of the entire agreement can be summarized as follows:

1. Hauge agreed to resolve the conflict with Dolgon, stop the conflict, and officially cease hostilities after the two sides reached a final agreement.

2. Dolgon, Hauge and others, each of whom had all his wealth and his men, were retained, and all the things in the past, if they were wrong, were not prosecuted, and all were lenient.

3. Hauge agreed to support Fulin as emperor, and Dolgon and Hauge were both the regents and jointly assisted the government.

4. After the agreement is reached, the body of Huang Taiji, who will be temporarily buried in Liaoyang, Tokyo, will be re-decorated, and buried in the Imperial Mausoleum of Shenyang in Shengjing, and buried in one place with the Mausoleum of the Mandate of Heaven Khan.

5. After the Qing court resumes normal operation, it is necessary to work together to drive out all the Tang troops in the invading country, and can no longer contact the Tang army privately, and everything should be based on the supreme rights and interests of the Qing state.

Hauge was very satisfied with the conditions that were finally reached. Therefore, he ordered to give Ning Wan and my party a grand feast, and then send a special person to escort them out of Shengjing until they were sent back dozens of miles away.
