Chapter 279 Conditions for Peace

Huang Taiji's eyes glanced at the dozen or so Hanchen standing on the right, only to see that Kong Youde and the others were standing in place, and did not come out to intercede for Fan Wencheng and Ning to play me, so he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, if Kong Youde and they also jumped out to play against the Manchurians, he would be in a dilemma.

After thinking about it, Huang Taiji turned his gaze to Fan Wencheng and Ning playing with me, and said kindly: "Two Qing families, what do you think?" ”

Fan Wencheng and Ning Yu glanced at each other, and smiled bitterly, it seems that the arm can't twist the thigh after all. Huang Taiji's questioning was tantamount to agreeing with the meaning of the Manchu ministers, and what he had decided was something they could not change.

However, Fan Wencheng is worthy of being known as one of the loyal dogs of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, although he is only a showman, but his thinking is very quick, and seeing that the matter of peace is still irreversible, he came up with an idea as soon as his head turned.

"Your Majesty, since your holy will has been decided, the slave won't say much. But the minions thought that the peace with the Ming State could not extinguish the ambition of our Qing Dynasty, and we could not negotiate peace with the Ming State in vain, so we had to make demands on them.

"Make a request?" Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then said happily: "Yes, we have to ask them to provide us with as much food, salt and iron as possible." ”

"There is also silver, and Daming will give us three hundred every year, not five million taels of silver, otherwise we will never negotiate peace."

The crowd was excited, and many people danced excitedly, making one after another many "reasonable" demands in their opinion, but they laughed at some people who were still sober in their minds, such as Huang Taiji and Dolgon.

"Enough!" Huang Taiji let out a loud shout, and the bustling voice in the hall quieted down, and he immediately gestured to Fan Wencheng with a majestic gaze.

Fan Wencheng came forward and said with a wry smile after understanding: "Your Excellency, listen to what the lower officials said, the lower officials think that the requirements put forward by the adults are completely impossible, and Ming Guo will not agree to these requests." I don't know if the emperor of the country will agree, even if he agrees, the current tax of the Ming Dynasty is only four million a year, where did he get the five million silver for us? Besides, if they can agree, why do we have to work so hard all these years to go south every year to plunder people and livestock? So don't even think about it. ”

"Besides, I'm talking about peace after the defeat, how could the Ming Kingdom agree to such conditions?"

After listening to Fan Wencheng's words, those who were dazed by the white silver came back to their senses one by one. This time it was indeed a fiasco, and the excessively high conditions were too unrealistic.

Du Le asked with an unkind face: "Then what should I do, is it just to negotiate peace with Ming Guo in vain?" ”

"Of course not." Fan Wencheng stroked his beard, a light shot out of his eyes, and said with a cruel smile: "Let's only put forward one condition, as long as the emperor of the Ming Kingdom agrees to kill a person, we will negotiate peace with them .........!" ”

Everyone in the re-audience understood who he was referring to, Huang Taiji felt a little unlikely, and asked Fan Wencheng: "Fan Aiqing, are you sure?" ”

Fan Wencheng arched his hand to Huang Taiji and said loudly: "Your Majesty, how do you know if you are sure if you don't try!" If it succeeds, the crisis we are facing will be resolved. Even if it doesn't work out, there's nothing to lose for us! ”

Huang Taiji also felt that what Fan Wencheng said was very reasonable, which made him full of hope for this peace: "Okay, then this time the matter of peace with Ming Guo will be handed over to Fan Aiqing." But don't go to Mingguo, let's do it in the form of letters, I am waiting for your good news! ”

Fan Wencheng said gratefully: "The minister must do his best to live up to the holy hope!" ”

Huang Taiji also knew that if Fan Wencheng was sent to the Ming Dynasty, it was likely that there would be no return. Da Ming treats people like Fan Wencheng, it is difficult to have a saying that he will not be killed.

This morning, as usual, Chongzhen got up without knowing anything. Under the service of a group of palace maids, freshen up, put on the crown clothes of the Changchao Dynasty, and then go out of Yangdezhai to the courtyard in front of the Qianqing Palace to burn incense and worship the sky.

Recently, due to the great victory of the Tiance army in Korea, Chongzhen's mood has also improved a lot, and he specially exempted Queen Zhou, the crown prince, the concubine, the princess and others from asking for peace as usual.

After the early dynasty, he changed into a dark dragon yellow satin robe, and Chongzhen sat down in front of the imperial case and began to review the documents.

In this dragon case, he has been reviewing various documents on military affairs for ten years, as well as countless edicts.

But every time he faced this imperial case, he was always in a bad mood, and the various notes and newspapers piled up on the case every day were like a hill, and there was hardly a single document that would make him happy.

Some of these documents reported the severity of the famine, full of shocking words such as "thousands of miles of red land," "people cut off," and "changing children to eat," while others reported riots by "thieves" and "bandits," as well as the tragic scenes of military disasters.

He had to read documents like this every day, but he really didn't want to read them, he didn't dare to read them. Sometimes, Chongzhen can't wait to kick the royal case over.

Fortunately, since the Tiance Army, there are no reports of Qing soldiers going deep into the hinterland, what prefectures and counties they have broken, how heavy the burning and plundering were, how many Ding Zhuang and ploughing cattle have been captured, and some local officials have fled in the wind, and there are no reports of the destruction of official cities in some places.

Thinking of this, Chongzhen was in a good mood, he dropped the wolf hair in his hand and walked to the window, intending to enjoy the scenery outside the window.

At this time, a little eunuch came over with a tray with some beautiful imperial signs, and whispered to him for dinner, Chongzhen sighed softly, but did not move.

As usual, Chongzhen's every meal was just a few simple meals, unless he summoned the queen or a certain concubine to accompany him in the Qianqing Palace, he always ate alone and lonely, with many carefully serving eunuchs and palace maids standing next to him, and old-fashioned drum music was played outside.

He didn't feel a little fun in this rigid way of life, but he couldn't help living like this, because if he didn't do so, he would not be the emperor's style, and he would not conform to the palace etiquette that has been passed down from generation to generation.

At this moment, Cao Huachun's voice sounded outside: "Emperor Qi, the commander of Jinyiwei makes Luo Yangxing ask to see!" ”

"Why is he here?" Chongzhen muttered to himself. He is not the Kangxi Emperor, so he does not rely on secret music and espionage, so Luo Yang rarely enters the palace alone unless he is summoned.

Is there something important for Luo Yangxing to suddenly enter the palace today?

"Chen Luo cultivates sex, see the emperor, long live my emperor, long live long live!"

"Aiqing is flat!" Chongzhen sat behind the dragon case with a calm face and looked at Luo Yangxing, and asked lightly: "What is the important matter for Aiqing to come suddenly?" ”
