Yang Sichang and Lu Xiangsheng did not have much contradiction, but they had very different views on Confucian ethics.

Lu Xiangsheng insisted on returning to his hometown to guard filial piety since his father's death, and even angered Zhu Youzhen once, and he Yang Sichang was also robbed of love by Emperor Chongzhen because of Dai Xiao, but Yang Sichang did not insist on going, in his opinion, keeping filial piety is naturally not important for the country, so he stayed in the cabinet to continue to do things, but also caused Lu Xiangsheng and other ministers who abide by Confucian etiquette to be dissatisfied with themselves.

But Yang Sichang was not dissatisfied with Lu Xiangsheng because of this, and he also knew that Lu Xiangsheng had talents.

However, now that Lu Xiangsheng once again made such a sarcastic remark about his lack of filial piety, it really made him angry, and it was difficult to say that the peace negotiation was the emperor's idea, so he had to endure it, and only said: "It's really a scholar's opinion!" ”

Then, Yang Sichang left the table in anger.

Seeing this, Liu Yuliang and Xue Guoguan hurriedly chased out.

Lu Xiangsheng saw that he had not discussed well with Yang Sichang and other scholars in the cabinet, and it was not good to say anything more, so he naturally returned to the barracks.

"Lord Shoufu said that Lu Xiangsheng did not agree to negotiate peace?"

Lu Yuan couldn't help but fall into deep thought after Tang Wenyun knew about it.

Although he already knew that Lu Xiangsheng was a staunch main battle faction in the original history, after knowing this at this moment, he was still worried about Lu Xiangsheng's future.

Let's be honest.

Although Lu Yuan has not had many opportunities to contact Lu Xiangsheng recently, after all, he is still only a small capital, and he is not qualified to meet with Lu Xiangsheng every day.

The Ming Dynasty is still an era of civilian commanders.

Even if a military general is at the level of a general soldier, he can't decide on a military strategy, let alone a commander.

But Lu Yuan's inability to participate in decision-making does not mean that he does not care, he has been gaining insight into the strategy of the imperial court's decision-making circle from Liu Yuliang, the first assistant, through Tang Wenyun.

"This matter is obviously not as simple as Lu Xiangsheng thinks, even if someone wants to make peace, the cabinet minister has to go through the approval of the celebrant to approve the red, and the power of the celebrant to approve the red is in the hands of the eunuch, and the eunuch is the person of the emperor Zhu Youzhen, this matter is obviously the emperor Zhu Youzhen wants to make peace."

Lu Yuan saw Tang Wenyun nodded, and couldn't help but think so in his heart.

This made Lu Yuan quite angry, and sometimes he had to admit that the decision-makers of the empire always deviated from the most pressing interests of the entire people when making some decisions.

Now, the 100,000-strong army of Jiannu is frantically burning and looting in the richest area of Beizhili, and the top priority is obviously to repel Jiannu as soon as possible, but at this time to talk about peace, it is obviously a bit of putting the cart before the horse.

At this time.

According to Ningyuan, not far from a mansion.

Huang Taiji took the excerpt of the joint letter signed by Dolgon and Yue Tuo, and said to Fan Wencheng, a Hanchen who he trusted: "Dolgon and Yue Tuo came to report that they had conquered Zhuozhou, and successfully made the Ming Emperor Zhu Youzhen mistakenly think that we were going to attack his Beijing division, so that the whole Baoding was very weak, and Liu Guangzuo, the chief military officer of Baoding, avoided our army like a tiger, and only Jiala's Ezhen Adai and Gushan Ezhen Mandahai lost some men and horses in the hands of a Ming military attache named Lu Yuan and Lu Xiangsheng, especially Chang Adai has been killed alive by the Ming court. It seems that this Ming court is not invincible. ”

After Huang Taiji said this, he sneered, picked up the hand warmer, got up and walked outside the door, looked at the white snow courtyard outside, and couldn't help frowning, Liaodong has been snowing heavily for several days, freezing to death of countless people and animals, especially the Han people who were caught before, because of the famine by the banner people, and now because of the cold to freeze to death.

Therefore, this time he sent Dolgon and other 100,000 troops into the pass in order to loot enough supplies and Han slaves, otherwise when there is a famine in the spring of next year, his Great Qing Kingdom will be starving again and no one will cultivate it.

But now Dolgon and the other Eight Banners soldiers who entered the customs did not seem to be completely smooth, which made him subconsciously a little worried, he didn't want his army to enter the customs and plunder this time for nothing.

"Lu Xiangsheng this person, the minister knows, this person in the year before last (Chongzhen nine years) in the Fengyang Conference Ming Court generals, in one fell swoop hit the thieves, it is reported that this person is brave and good at fighting, every time he fights dare to take the lead, his command of the Tianxiong Army to the clan as a link, the battle is the same enemy, even if the strong enemy is not discouraged; But this Lu Yuan, the minister didn't know who it was, or the first time he had heard of it. ”

Fan Wencheng knelt down and said.

"Chang Adai was captured by this man named Lu Yuan, since the war between my Qing Dynasty and the Ming Court, this is the first time that our army has been captured by the Ming Court military attaché!"

Huang Taiji said.

"That being the case, master, this Lu Yuan, we can't ignore him, we have to understand this person first, and it is best to get rid of it immediately, so as not to cause a big disaster in the future!"

Fan Wencheng suggested.

Huang Taiji nodded, and looked at Li Yongfang: "Li Yongfang!" ”

"The minions are here!"

Li Yongfang crawled over on his knees.

"Find out where this person came from first", Huang Taiji said.

"Slaves obey!"

Li Yongfang replied and then retreated.

Huang Taiji then asked Fan Wencheng: "Is there a reply from Chen Xinjia?" ”

"Back to the master, our people came back and said that Chen Xinjia's side has been sparse for this, and it is estimated that the book has been in the hands of Zhu Youzhen, the emperor of the Ming Court, I think Zhu Youzhen will not be moved by this after knowing that our army has no intention of conquering its capital, and then the Ming court will quarrel for a while, plus the people who have secretly invested in us will not be able to get the support of the Ming court to fight a decisive battle with our army even if they are good at fighting, and our army will be looking for an opportunity to gather and annihilate Lu Xiangsheng's army."

Fan Wencheng said.

"This is Mr.'s policy, there is a gentleman, why worry that I can't enter the Central Plains in the Qing Dynasty, and so Dolgon and Yue Tuo will loot the Ming Dynasty Beizhili and Shandong, the Ming Dynasty will inevitably be eroded, and when the number of displaced people increases again, the thieves will resurge, the Ming Court is still tired of exterminating the thieves, and when it spends countless money and food to exterminate the thieves, I will wave the army into the customs again, and if this continues, I will not worry about his Ming Kingdom!"

Huang Taiji said.

Fan Wencheng laughed: "The master is wise, now that the Ming Court agrees to negotiate peace, it is best for me to take advantage of this to get some more coins, if the Ming Court does not agree to negotiate peace, there will be a more sufficient reason to enter the customs next time, it can be seen that no matter what, the destiny of heaven is on my side of the Qing Dynasty!" ”

Hearing Fan Wencheng say this, Huang Taiji laughed out loud: "Tell me to go down, continue to fire cannons at Ningyuan City, and scare this ancestor Dashou again!" ”

……

Capital.

Lu Yuan saw Tang Wenyun coming in a hurry, and hurriedly asked, "Why did my brother-in-law come in the snow late at night, could it be that there is something big happening in the court?" ”

"Your Majesty agreed to Lu Gongding's worries, and dismissed him from the post of Governor of the Ministry of War, and let the Shoufu Lord Governor of the World Qinwang Soldiers and Horses, and now the Shoufu Lord has no master, let me come to you to get an idea!"

Tang Wenyun hurriedly spoke, and he didn't care about patting the snowflakes off his body.

Lu Yuan was also really taken aback after hearing this, once Lu Xiangsheng went to his post, the entire Qinwang soldiers and horses would no longer have a main battle faction official to lead, and the pursuit of Jiannu would be even more in vain, and the people of Baoding, Hejian, Zhending and other prefectures would only be ravaged by Jiannu.
