Now as soon as he made a move, he was reprimanded by Ye Xianggao, and he was actually very unhappy in his heart. Because Ye Xianggao was originally a Donglin boss, but now he is completely on the emperor's side and has become a traitor to Donglin. Moreover, a group of Donglin Party members like Yang Lian also split out, which greatly weakened the strength of the Donglin Party.

He didn't dare to directly challenge Ye Xianggao, so he changed his method and said: "The last earthquake in Beizhili, of course, was not Your Majesty's fault, but the cabinet mishandled things, and should be held responsible, please ask Your Majesty to surrender." ”

Fang Congzhe, Ye Xianggao, and Xu Guangqi knelt down together and said: "The ministers have mishandled it improperly, causing misery to the people, please ask Your Majesty to surrender." ”

Zhu Youxiao glanced at You Shiren and said, "It seems that You Yushi is still a little unwilling in his heart." Since this is the case, then You Yushi will go to the disaster area, urge the disaster relief in various places, and come back when the places are peaceful. ”

The ministers shouted in their hearts: "Here again, here again, drive people away without a word, this downstream sergeant Ren has been shot again." ”

You Shiren sighed and said: "The ministers obey the holy decree, the victims are uneasy, and the ministers will not return." ”

Zhu Youxiao nodded and said, "You Qing, let's go." The three Aiqing, please, it's just an earthquake, don't take it to heart, if someone wants to blame, let them blame me. ”

The ministers shouted together: "The ministers don't dare! ”

Zhu Youxiao smiled and said: "There will always be someone who dare." Not to mention this, I decided to listen to the opinions of the people in various places on the matter of changing the law, and issued an order to submit the draft law to the governors of the imperial history, and to consult with each locality, and then report it back to the capital, and after discussion, revise and promulgate. ”

Fang Congzhe and Du Yushi led the decree together. Huang Kezhang stood up and said: "Jiannu sent an envoy to sue for peace, willing to take the Liao River as the boundary, return the land west of the river to the Ming Dynasty, and ask me to put Huang Taiji back, and ask Your Majesty to make a holy ruling." ”

Zhu Youxiao laughed and said: "The slave chief is really courageous, and said to the messenger that he should return to the Ming Dynasty, return to Jianzhou, and wait for the angel to fall, so that maybe I will leave him with an old life, and I will not agree to any other conditions." ”

Huang Kezhang said: "The slave chief may have been blinded by lard, and he dared to be so arrogant, he thought that this was the time of Salhu." ”

Wang Qia stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, since Jiannu is already willing to sue for peace and make a living for the people of the world, can you allow him to ask for a stop from the sword soldiers?" ”

Then a few more imperial historians came forward and agreed with Wang Qia's opinion, thinking that the soldiers were ominous, since there was a chance to restore peace in the world, why not agree to sue for peace, and settle down Liaodong first.

Zhu Youxiao shook his head in his heart, extremely disappointed in these people. In fact, Nurhachi's intention to seek peace, these people all understand, but they just want to temporarily gain a certain amount of time and space to recover, and the future counterjudgment is predictable. But they knew it was so, either to show their mercy, or to speak such things just against the emperor.

Xu Guangqi stood up and said: "Jiannu is capricious, and they don't mention the return of Liaoshen and other places at all, and only return Hexi, which they didn't occupy at all, don't you understand?" ”

Huang Kezhang said: "I'm afraid it's not that I don't understand, but I don't want to understand." Jiannu occupies my city and kills my border people, even if he comes to bind himself, whether he forgives or not, it is still in the mind of His Majesty. Now it's just to give up my Ming inherent land, and you want to allow him to sue for peace, do you want to wait for two years to come back again? Oh, Salhu is now a land of slaves, so do you want to come to the Shanhaiguan like Salhu again? Or Tianjin? ”

This was said extremely viciously, and Wang Qia immediately knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, the ministers have no such intention. It's just the words of the sage, and the gentleman has nothing to fight. Will shoot too! Let it go up, and drink it down. The ministers thought that since they could not fight, I would be a gentleman of the Ming Dynasty and repay their grievances with virtue. It's better to let Jiannu bow down and be a vassal in order to calm the world. There is absolutely no meaning of what Huang Shangshu said. ”

He spoke in a hurry, but Zhu Youxiao, who was not very proficient in the way of Confucius and Mencius, also seized the loophole: "The sage also said that if you repay your grievances with virtue, how can you repay virtue?" How did you forget even that? ”

In this cold spring, Wang Qia was sweating like pulp, knowing that he had said the wrong thing for a while, but he had no way to explain it, so he could only keep kowtowing.

Fang Congzhe stepped forward and said: "Wang Yushi is out of the picture, please punish Your Majesty." ”

Zhu Youxiao said: "The right is the imperial history of Wang Qia, and he was transferred to the inspection envoy of Beizhili, that is, he went out of Beijing to inspect the rent reduction situation in various places, and he was not allowed to return to Beijing without an edict." ”

Wang Qia's face was like ashes, and after kowtowing to thank him, he walked out of the hall with a blank expression. Several other imperial historians saw that the emperor directly swept Wang Qia out of the capital, but they couldn't intercede or reason with the emperor, so they didn't dare to speak out again.

Zhu Youxiao said: "Send a decree to the General Staff of the Guards, continue to press Jiannu, and do not give them a chance to breathe, until Jiannu is willing to surrender, unconditional surrender, I will solve the matter of Liaodong within two years." ”

Huang Kezhang said: "The minister congratulates His Majesty and congratulates Daming." There is news from the front that Jiannu is short of food, and the Inner Khalkha Department of Mongolia, which was originally close to Jiannu, has been alienated from Jiannu, and the Horqin Ministry, which has decided to form an alliance with Jiannu this year, has also postponed the alliance. ”

Zhu Youxiao thought for a while and said, "Horqin Department, it seems that Huang Taiji's wife Mu Butai is from this Horqin. ”

Huang Kezhang said: "Your Majesty, the minister doesn't know about this matter, you have to ask Jinyiwei to know." ”

Luo Sigong stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, Huang Taiji's wife, Borzigit, is named Zhezhe, but this Mubu Taichen doesn't know. ”

Zhu Youxiao waved his hand and said, "Don't worry about this for now, did Lin Dan Khan make these Mongols change their attitude?" ”

Luo Sigong replied: "After Lin Dan Khan converted to the Red Sect, many Mongolian tribes began to distance themselves from him, and they no longer listened to his orders. The reason why these tribes changed their attitude was because under the personal command of His Majesty, I Ming defeated Jiannu in Liaodong, and the Mongols would also look at the situation, and of course they were unwilling to collude with the defeated Jiannu. ”

Zhu Youxiao was shocked by this, and said with a smile: "The collusion with the Mongols has been broken over there, and this side cannot invade North Korea, so the life of Jiannu is not easy." But the more time we go, the more we can't let our guard down. You Jinyiwei continue to dress up the news in Liaodong and plot against the Han people, and the Yehe people who have always been at odds with Jiannu can also be contacted, although they have been annexed by Jiannu, but Yehe and Jianzhou people are always different, maybe there will be an unexpected joy at that time. ”

Luo Sigong said: "The minister just has something to ask Your Majesty, for the generals of the Han army who surrendered to Jiannu before, if they have the intention of abandoning the dark and turning to the light and find us, then how should we deal with it?" ”
