In terms of agreement, Dolgon's brute actually offered me harsher conditions than Li Zicheng. The money I want is double that of Li Zicheng.

Seeing that I didn't speak for a long time after reading the agreement, Dolgon asked, "King of the Southern Dynasty, you may accept this agreement?" ”

I accept it, I accept it!

He did this completely to drag Da Ming to death.

I even think that it is very likely that he will promise Li Zicheng again immediately after he promised me, and when Li Zicheng and I are exhausted, he will go south in one fell swoop and reap the benefits of the fisherman.

Thinking of this, I said, "This agreement is good, but I have to think about it!" ”

Although I said that I wanted to think about it, in fact, in my opinion, there was no need to think about it at all, but I wanted to see if he would lower his requirements if I did it.

After I said this, Dorgon said with an unhappy face: "In that case, I will give you two days to think about it, and I hope you will be cautious!" ”

"Emperor Xie!"

The agreement collapsed, and I didn't want to waste any more words with Dolgon, so I took Zhang Zhao and them back to the inn.

……

After returning to the inn, Lao Tzu gritted his teeth angrily and scolded Hong Chengchou for being incompetent.

As a result, as soon as he finished scolding, he heard a knock on the door.

When I opened the door, the person who came was actually Hong Chengchou's personal guard.

The guard was a Han man, and he said, "Your Majesty, the Lord of the Capital wants to invite you to sit down!" ”

Before I finished speaking, Zhang Zhao said, "No need! ”

In this way, the guard was embarrassed, and he said in a slumped voice: "The Lord of the Capital is also very guilty about the agreement, and I hope the emperor can forgive him!" And the reason why he wanted to see the emperor was because he wanted to discuss other things with the emperor. ”

Hearing him say this, I wanted to meet Hong Chengchou and see what he wanted to discuss with me.

So I said, "I have no problem with him, and since he wants to see me, it doesn't matter!" ”

After that, I followed Hong Chengchou's guards and came to a tearoom in the west of Shengjing City.

Seeing me coming, Hong Chengchou knelt on the ground again, and said guiltily: "Your Majesty, the criminal minister has not done a good deed, and I hope the emperor can forgive!" ”

"Get up!" I said angrily.

Hong Chengchou stood up, asked people to arrange tea, and then kept explaining to me, saying that Dolgon didn't listen to him at all, and he couldn't help it.

After listening to his words, I asked helplessly, "Then you called me over today, are you making amends?" ”

Hong Chengchou looked outside, asked people to close the doors and windows, and then said hesitantly: "Actually, the criminal minister has a plan to dedicate to the emperor, I don't know if the emperor is willing to listen!" ”

"As long as I can get Dolgon for less money, I will adopt any plan. You say. ”

Hong Chengchou whispered: "Your Majesty, according to Dolgon's character, it is impossible for him to compromise, and how much he says is how much he wants." But the emperor might as well think about it from another angle, if the emperor can grasp Dorgon's handle and contain him in turn, then the form may be reversed! ”

"You're right, but what can I do to restrain him now? I'm completely pinned down by him now! ”

Hong Chengchou said with a smile: "The emperor doesn't know that the child born to Empress Xiaozhuang is actually Dolgon's evil seed. Although Dorgon was very beautiful, none of them gave birth to him, so he attached great importance to that evil seed. It is precisely because of this evil seed that Dolgon will deliberately abolish Shunzhi and then ascend to the throne himself. Therefore, the sinner thinks that the emperor can start from this evil seed! ”

I grass, I thought Hong Chengchou was an elegant reader, but I didn't expect this kind of indiscriminate means, he actually thought of it.

But his plan is indeed feasible.

It's just that if you want to attack Xuan Ye's little beast, it's not that simple, after all, Xiaozhuang's mother and son are in the deep palace compound, and they are protected by people all the time, once we can't get it, we will definitely die.

Thinking of this, I said to Hong Chengchou: "Lao Hong, you can do this strategy, but what do you want me to do?" There's no way I'm going to steal that little beast out of the palace, it's too hard to achieve! ”

Hong Chengchou said: "The emperor doesn't have to steal that little beast out of the palace, he just needs to give that little beast some medicine, so that the little beast is worse than death, and then Dolgon can obey the emperor's orders!" ”

As he spoke, Hong Chengchou took out a map of the Manchu Palace from his clothes, and then said: "Your Majesty, the minister knows that he is guilty, so he asked someone to prepare the map in advance, hoping to atone for his sins!" ”

I took the map, took a sip of tea, and said, "Lao Hong, you are guilty, but what you are showing now has moved me very much. If I can succeed, I will definitely credit you! ”

"Emperor Xie!" After saying this, he began to cry again.

"Lao Hong, if you want to cry again, I won't dare to see you again in the future!" As I spoke, I handed him the handkerchief.

He wiped away his tears, took out a bag from his clothes, and said to me, "Your Majesty, this bag contains the poison of the Daur people, and if that little beast eats one of them, it will make him worse than dead." ”

I opened the bag and looked at it, and there were three black pills inside, which smelled quite pungent.

"That's good stuff!" I couldn't help but laugh, and then asked, "Is there an antidote?" ”

"Absolutely!" After that, he took out another bag, and then said: "This antidote is a tube for half a year, and one day after the drug is stopped, he will vomit blood and die!" ”

Hearing this, I said excitedly: "Lao Hong, if I don't accept anyone, I will obey you." You're going to let me lead Dolgon by the nose all the time. Hahaha! ”

Hong Chengchou said with a shy face: "It would be a good thing if you could use that little beast to control Dolgon!" ”

After saying this, everyone looked at each other and smiled, and drank tea.

……

On the night of Hong Chengchou's proposal, I took Zhang Zhao and Xia Wanchun to infiltrate the Manchu Palace.

After entering the palace, I followed the map given by Hong Chengchou, dressed up as a Manchu eunuch, and step by step, I groped my way to the outside of Xiaozhuang's dormitory.

Just as I was about to push the door in, I suddenly heard someone in the room say, "Qing'er, have you noticed that the little prince doesn't look like the emperor at all!" ”

"Be quiet, this is going to be heard, but you're going to be killed!"

Seeing someone talking, I poked through the window paper and looked up, and found that Xiaozhuang was not in it at all, but two maids were taking care of Xuanye's little beast.

Seeing this, Zhang Zhao took out the stone in his hand and shot at the two maids.

There were only two snaps, and the two maids fell to the ground.

After the maid fell to the ground, I gently pushed the door open and entered the house. Xuan Ye's little beast was lying on the bed sleeping soundly, and he was extremely cute.

I walked over, found the poison I had prepared, and prepared to give it to him.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, the little beast suddenly opened his eyes, looked at me and laughed.

Seeing him smile, I was a little unbearable, after all, he was not to blame for this, but only the old beast of Dorgon.

But I couldn't care so much, and said to myself: "Boy, don't blame me, I'm also forced to be helpless!" ”

As I spoke, I lifted his head, and he seemed to understand what I was saying, and he burst into tears.

Seeing him crying, I panicked and stuffed the pill into his mouth and forced him to take it.

After he had taken the poison, I walked out of the room, but as soon as I walked out, I saw the patrolling Janissatory, but fortunately the Janissaries did not recognize me, so I was able to get out easily.

……

Originally, I was going to leave Shengjing immediately after giving the baby the medicine, but Dolgon wanted to wait for me to reply to him, so he sent someone to follow me to death, so that I could not get out.

After two days of staring at me, Dorgon summoned me again and asked me what I was thinking about the agreement.

I pretended to be sad and said: "Your Majesty, it's not that the minister doesn't agree, but once the minister agrees, the 40,000 people of my Southern Dynasty will fall into more harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, so ......"

Before I could finish speaking, Dorgon snapped, "You don't have to say more! In this case, then I can only promise Li Zicheng first! Stand down! ”

As soon as he said this, I took Zhang Zhao and the others and left the palace, and then rushed to Ning Haiwei without stopping.

When I left Ninghaiwei, I gave a letter to Ninghaiwei's officials, asking him to help me forward it to Dolgon.

After doing this, the group waited for the boat to board and sailed in the direction of Fuzhou.
