Several Manchu Hanchens in the room, led by Chen Mingxia, were secretly relieved when they heard Hou Sui say this. Now that the Manchu Qing Dynasty is over, these guys have no intention of martyring the Manchu Dynasty, and now how to please the emperor of the new dynasty is the right way.

Chen Mingxia thought for a while and said, "Teacher, what are the conditions for coming to negotiate peace this time?" ”

Hou Sui looked at Chen Mingxia and laughed, and said: "Baishi, now is different from the past, it used to be called peace, but now that I have a million soldiers in the city, you have no possibility to negotiate conditions, and surrendering in Kaicheng is your only choice!" ”

Chen Mingxia's old face turned red when Hou Sui said, too, the Manchu Qing Dynasty now only has such an isolated city as Beijing, what qualifications do they have to talk about conditions!

Chen Mingxia stood up and bowed to retire, he wanted to pass the news to the little emperor to know.

Hou Sui stopped Chen Mingxia and said in a low voice: "Hundred history, Hu Lu has no national fortune for a hundred years, you should know this if you are proficient in history books!" Baishi, you are a Han Chinese, you have to think about the aftermath! ”

Chen Mingxia listened to Hou Sui's meaningful words, didn't say anything, and bowed out.

Emperor Shunzhi was still waiting for news in the palace, and if it didn't work, he would prepare to escape, so Chen Mingxia didn't dare to delay, and came out of the Sifang Pavilion and entered the palace to meet Shunzhi.

Shunzhi has always been very good to Chen Mingxia, because Chen Mingxia is also a part-time bachelor of Hanlin and usually gives lectures to Shunzhi, so Shunzhi has always called Chen Mingxia Mr.

When Shunzhi saw Chen Mingxia coming in, he hurriedly asked Yan, "Mr. Chen, what did that Emperor of Nanming say?" ”

Chen Mingxia summed it up in his heart, Hou Xun's words just now are still in his ears, at this time, his father and mother are married, and everyone takes care of everyone, although Shunzhi is good to him, but his own life is still important.

Thinking of this, Chen Mingxia raised his head and said: "Your Majesty, the minister has already met the envoy of the Southern Ming Dynasty, and he brought the news of the Emperor of the Southern Ming Dynasty, as long as I surrender the Qing Dynasty to Beijing and retreat outside the Guan, I can let the Qing Dynasty claim the king outside the Guan, and follow the example of North Korea!" "In order to survive, Chen Mingxia had to deceive the little emperor of Shunzhi!

Shunzhi was overjoyed when he heard this condition, this was already the best result, Shunzhi didn't expect that Zhu Hongsan could give such a generous condition. Although Shengjing outside the Guanxi was occupied by the Ming army, there were still more than 100,000 Manchurians in the north and more than 500,000 Han people in Liaodong.

But Shunzhi is not a child, he is now the emperor, he still has some political experience, the Ming army has already reached Tianjin, can he still give such generous conditions?

"Mr. Chen, what you said is true? Why did the emperor of the Ming Dynasty give such generous conditions! ”

Chen Mingxia is now determined to deceive to the end, so he began to imagine out of thin air to find a reason for the Ming Dynasty.

"Your Majesty, now the Ming Dynasty seems to be strong, but there is still King Gui's rebellion in the south that has not been eliminated, I heard that King Gui's general Li Dingguo led hundreds of thousands of troops and the Ming army to circulate the Yunnan-Guizhou border, as well as Sichuan and Shaanxi, these places need that Emperor Shenwu to pacify, so Emperor Shenwu is ready to let us out of the customs, and then I can take action to clean up the chaos in the country!"

Shunzhi thought about it for a while, if he was replaced, it would be the same way, first clean up his backyard, and then deal with the enemy outside.

Shunzhi nodded and asked, "Mr. Chen, what do you think we should do?" ”

Chen Mingxia was already ready to take refuge in the new dynasty, and besides, he was a southerner, so he could follow the Manchurians to live in a cold and snowy place in Liaodong. So Chen Mingxia said: "Your Majesty, you can sign a contract with Emperor Shenwu now, and then Your Majesty can slowly return north with the Queen Mother!" ”

Shunzhi looked at the sincerity of what Chen Mingxia said, and was also very moved: "Isn't Mr. Chen going with us?" I'm afraid it will be a bad thing for you to stay in the pass! Or... ”

Chen Mingxia hurriedly interrupted Shunzhi: "Hey! Your Majesty, the minister is fifty-one, and how many years do you have to live? In addition, Liaodong is not suitable for the climate, so it is better to stay in Beijing and do some finishing work for His Majesty! ”

Seeing that Chen Mingxia was not ready to leave, Shunzhi did not force him, after all, it was like this now, and the people in Beijing were different, and there were really few courtiers like Chen Mingxia who could still consider the Manchus in the final stage.

"Okay, Mr. Chen's plan!"

Chen Mingxia hurriedly lay on the ground and drafted a contract, and then asked Shunzhi to see if he was agreeable.

Shunzhi picked it up and saw that the contract was divided into three points, the first was to marry Shunzhi's sister, Huang Taiji's twelve daughters Yatu to Emperor Shenwu, the Manchu Qing and the Ming Dynasty will always be brothers' states and will never attack! The second is that the Manchu Qing Dynasty followed the example of Joseon, removed the imperial title, and forever became a Ming vassal domain! The third is that the Manchu Qing withdrew from the Guannai and handed over the south of Tielingwei to the Ming Dynasty!

Shunzhi sighed, the first two points are easy to say, nothing more than women and false names, but this third point is a little reluctant, so that the efforts of the three generations of Manchu emperors and nearly forty years will come to naught. But there is no way, this is already the best ending when the soldiers come to the city. Shunzhi thought about it and took out the jade seal, stamped the jade seal on the contract, and the next step was to use the seal for Emperor Nanming.

Chen Mingxia took the contract and did not go to the Sifang Pavilion to give it to Hou Sui, but returned to his home first. Chen Mingxia looked at the contract in his hand, this kind of thing was sent to Emperor Nanming purely to find death, if you want to negotiate peace, you still need to process it yourself.

Chen Mingxia asked his subordinates to go to the treasury of the Ministry of Rites to find out the contract negotiated between the imperial court and Nanming a few years ago, and then wrote the three words Zhu Hongsan on the contract according to the signature of Emperor Nanming, and then took out his forged Nanming jade seal and stamped it on the contract, so that the contract would take effect, but it was only in terms of the full list.

Then Chen Mingxia went to the Sifang Pavilion again and told Hou Sui Shunzhi that he agreed to Emperor Shenwu's conditions, and Hou Sui did not suspect anything, and got up and went out of the city to Tianjin to tell Zhu Hongsan.

Three days later, Chen Mingxia handed over the forged contract in his hand to Emperor Shunzhi, falsely claiming that it was sent by Nanming, and Shunzhi saw that Nanming agreed, and was completely relieved.

On the sixth day of the ninth month of September, the city of 80,000 Manchurian Eight Banners, and more than 20,000 Han Army Eight Banners, under the leadership of Emperor Shunzhi, went out of Beijing from Chaoyangmen, ready to go Mishunyi, Miyun, and then from Gubeikou out of the customs.

Chen Mingxia took the Han people who stayed behind to send off the Shunzhi Emperor and the Queen Mother outside the Chaoyang Gate, and together with Chen Mingxia, there was also the eldest princess Yatu who was going to give Zhu Hongsan to Zhu Hong, and this title is also now sealed.

Chen Mingxia knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, I don't know if we can meet in the future, please take care of your body!" ”

Shunzhi also felt uncomfortable when he saw Chen Mingxia, he could be regarded as Chen Mingxia's student, Shunzhi said in the car: "The weather is cold, teacher, please go back!" Then Shunzhi took a long convoy and rushed out of the gate in the heavy snow.

Chen Mingxia stood in the snow and looked at the distant convoy, his already dark heart was slightly touched, he and Shunzhi have been friends for seven or eight years, it can be said that Shunzhi's knowledge is taught by him, and there are still some feelings, but it is difficult to say when it comes to life-critical matters.

Zhu Hongsan was also very surprised when he received Hou Xun's news in Tianjin, he didn't expect the Manchu Qing to agree to the conditions so easily? Didn't even make a counteroffer? However, Zhu Hongsan didn't think about anything else, after all, now that Zhu Hongsan was in the city, he couldn't help the little emperor of Shunzhi to bargain.

After Zhu Hongsan received the news from Hou Sui, it was the fifth day of the ninth month, and on the second day, that is, the sixth day of the first month when Shunzhi fled from Chaoyangmen, Zhu Hongsan killed the cavalry from Tianjin along the canal to Beijing.

Now that an agreement has been reached with the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the little emperor of Shunzhi surrendered unconditionally, so Zhu Hongsan was not in a hurry, and only arrived at the periphery of Beijing on the ninth day of the first month.

Zhu Hongsan stood on a small hill ten miles outside Beijing, looked at Beijing in the heavy snow, and silently thought in his heart: Eight years, Lao Tzu watched Chongzhen hang himself here, and then fled from here to the south in embarrassment, but he didn't expect Lao Tzu to be able to bring hundreds of thousands of troops back again!

At this time, the Ming army had been found ten miles away in the city of Beijing, but there was no panic in the city, because the Manchurians had already fled, and the rest were Han Chinese.

Under the leadership of Chen Mingxia, Han Chen, who stayed in the city, hurriedly opened the gates of the Nine Cities, and then took all the officials to kneel outside the Yongding Gate to welcome the arrival of the new monarch.

Zhu Hongsan rode a horse to Yongding Gate, and saw a group of people kneeling here, all wearing Ming Dynasty official uniforms, and none of them were wearing Manchu official uniforms, so he couldn't help asking, "Mr. Hou, what's going on?" Why do they all wear my court uniforms? Who are they? ”

Hou Sui stepped forward to call Chen Mingxia, and Chen Mingxia knelt in front of Zhu Hongsan's horse and shouted: "Chen Mingxia, the criminal minister, is here to welcome my emperor!" ”

Zhu Hongsan pointed at Chen Mingxia with a horsewhip and asked, "Why are you wearing Ming Dynasty official uniforms?" What about the little emperor of Shunzhi? Didn't he promise me to surrender unconditionally? ”

Chen Mingxia heard Zhu Hongsan ask about this matter, and replied stubbornly: "The Manchu puppet emperor Shunzhi was afraid of heaven's grace, and fled with the whole clan on the sixth day of the first month. ”

Zhu Hongsan was stunned, the little emperor ran away? However, Zhu Hongsan didn't take it to heart, he just needed Beijing to accept it peacefully, and as for Shunzhi, he could be arrested again if he ran away.

Zhu Hongsan asked, "Where did Shunzhi run from?" ”

Chen Mingxia already wanted to be a loyal minister of the new dynasty at this time, so the emperor asked endlessly.

"Your Majesty, the little emperor of Shunzhi set off from Chaoyangmen on the sixth day of the first month, and went out of the customs through Shunyi and Miyun, and now he is probably in Miyun!"

Zhu Hongsan nodded, and said to Li Chengen behind him: "Lao Li, you send someone to deliver a letter to Li Yuanyin, and ask him to intercept them before the Manchu Qing Dynasty leaves the customs, whether they live or die, do you know?" ”

After Zhu Hongsan finished speaking, he looked at Chen Mingxia who was kneeling in front of him and asked, "Your name is Chen Mingxia?" Is it the Chen Mingxia who keeps his hair and clothes on the book, and the world is peaceful? ”

Chen Mingxia didn't expect the emperor to know about this, so he hurriedly said: "It's the guilty minister!" Back then, the criminal officials saw the Manchu Qing Dynasty slaughtering our Han people, so they risked their lives to go to the book! ”
