Yan Mingtai, Gao Di, Yuan Chonghuan and others naturally attracted the attention of the courtiers. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoBecause these people are all fighting on the front line in Liaodong, they are familiar with side affairs, so they naturally have more right to speak.

However, the attitudes of these people towards Huang Taiji's request for peace are very different. Yan Mingtai thinks that Huang Taiji's words can be believed, and if he wants to build a captive of the whole clan, there are only hundreds of thousands of people, how dare he compete with the Ming Dynasty, and accept it when he tastes a little sweetness, which is also human nature. And instead of spending tens of millions of silver every year, the imperial court should spend money to stop the war.

Gao Di believed that Jianyu's words were not credible at all, and he must not communicate with him, otherwise he would be tantamount to an enemy. However, he didn't have much to do about the military threat of Houjin, but he held on to the city, and if he couldn't hold it, he retreated to Shanhaiguan.

Yuan Chonghuan's point of view is between the two, thinking that he can make peace with Huang Taiji, so as to gain time and completely complete the Guanning Jin defense line. In addition, he also proposed that the Daling River and Xiaoling River in the north of Jinzhou should continue to be built to form a corner with Jinzhou, so that the Guanning Jinzhou defense line would be more impregnable.

The three Wenchen are three different opinions, and the two important generals in Liaodong also have their own hearts. Because one of Huang Taiji's conditions for peace was to hand over Mao Wenlong to Houjin for disposal, Mao Wenlong of course strongly opposed the peace proposal. At the same time, Mao Wenlong also fiercely criticized Yuan Chonghuan's practice of forcing all grain ships in the Denglai area to be sent to Ningyuan first, believing that Yuan Chonghuan wanted to use military rations to card himself.

Zu Dashou also opposed the negotiation of peace, and at the same time more resolutely opposed Gaodi's strategy of running away if he could not win, saying that Ningyuan and Jinzhou must not be abandoned, and Shanhaiguan will not be protected if they are abandoned. Mao Wenlong joined Yuan Chonghuan, and Zu Dashou participated in Mao Wenlong, thinking that he had falsely reported his troops on Phi Island and ate empty salaries, squeezing out the grain and grass of the Ningjin border soldiers, and only doing nothing on Yinle on the island every day, which could not play a role in containing the prisoners, and suggested that the imperial court remove him for punishment.

Zhu Youzhen saw that the courtiers were discussing and indifferent about the recitals of several people, and he sneered in his heart. After the Qianqing Palace calmed down a little, he spoke slowly: "These days, the cabinet, the six ministries, and the governors and Taoists from all over the country have all made a note on the matter of Jianyu's request for peace, and all the secretaries have also seen it, and the Lord and the Fu are more. I am also willing to follow the advice of the ministers to dismiss the army, but the specific conditions are still to be discussed. In this way, send a message to Huang Taiji, and you can negotiate with reference to the conditions they proposed. However, the face of the imperial court must be preserved, and they must send an envoy to Beijing to perform the courtesy of the monarch and ministers. ”

Zhu Youzhen's words were beyond the expectations of Sun Chengzong and others, and Sun Chengzong immediately protested and shouted: "Your Majesty, peace negotiations are absolutely impossible, and the minister would rather be alone against Jianyu Iron Cavalry, and will never give up half an inch of land in Liaodong!" ”

The Lord and the faction were triumphant, and Shi Fenglai also pretended to persuade Sun Chengzong: "Lord Sun, didn't Your Majesty say it in Japan, Liaodong is a place of bondage, no matter whether the peace negotiation is successful or not, it is nominally my Ming territory, so why give up." As soon as the peace is agreed, the military disaster is eliminated, isn't it a fortunate thing for the community? ”

Sun Chengzong still wanted to show the emperor bitterly, but Zhu Youzhen flicked the sleeves of his robe and said: "I'm tired, let's retire from the court, and we will discuss it tomorrow!" ”

After Sun Chengzong retired from the dynasty, he couldn't help but complain about Yuan Keli and Wang Zaijin again and again, thinking that they did not admonish him together. The two were also deeply surprised, and both felt that with Zhu Youzhen's character and experience, it stands to reason that they would not agree to negotiate peace with Jianyu. However, the holy decree has been issued, the wood has been completed, and the two have no choice but to persuade Sun Chengzong, saying that the peace negotiation may not be able to be negotiated, and now the only way to gather the power of the ministers of the DPRK and the central government is to fight on the basis of reason when Jianyu sends an envoy to Beijing.

Sun Chengzong still refused to give up, and decided to persuade the emperor to retract his order when he went to court tomorrow. Dozens of Donglin Party officials who opposed the peace also joined Sun Chengzong's camp and returned to their homes to write a chapter to be handed over the next morning.

Unexpectedly, in the early morning of the next day, as soon as the ministers came to the Donghua Gate, they were politely told by the members of the guard guarding the palace gate: Long live last night was occasionally infected with a cold, and today can not be an early court.

Mei Jian was temporarily appointed as a female official in the newly established secretariat, and at this time she collected the ministers' recitals at the gate of Donghua. Some ministers obediently handed in their papers, but others were unimpressed by the newly established body. Especially the emperor actually appointed female officials, in their eyes, female officials are not as good as eunuchs, in history, whenever the harem interferes in politics, it will disrupt the court, and the emperor's move is purely a way to take chaos.

When Mei Jian received the zodiac Zhou, the stubborn Donglin party man sank his face and said: "The music is very important, how can it be presented by a woman!" Hurry up and go to your majesty, and the minister will present the chapter to your majesty. If Your Majesty's dragon body is not safe and it is inconvenient for the Imperial Palace, the minister can also read it for His Majesty in front of the bed! ”

Mei Jian was only Rui'er's maid in the Qin Palace, and she didn't have much experience in dealing with outsiders. Now that she is a first-time female official, she can't help but be a little shy and timid, seeing that Huang Daozhou is right, and she looks down on herself, she can't help but panic in her heart, and she doesn't know what to do.

At this moment, a gentle and peaceful voice came: "Mei Jian, have you collected all the concerts of the adults?" Don't leave a single one behind, long live still waiting to see! ”

The ministers followed the sound and looked, but it was Queen Rui'er who came in person, and they were so frightened that they quickly knelt down. Rui'er smiled at everyone and said, "Everyone, please get up quickly." Today is the first time the secretariat is on duty, female officials have no experience, and they have little guts, and they have never seen a big scene. ”

Although the words were polite, the hearts of the ministers were like mirrors: this must be because the emperor was afraid that the female officials would not be able to control the scene, so he specially sent the queen to go out in person. Of course, the queen couldn't afford to offend, so she had to obediently hand over the chapter to Mei Jian.

Huang Daozhou still refused to give up, knelt straight, and said to Rui'er with his neck in his hand: "Queen Mother, peace talks are harmful to the national body, and it is absolutely not feasible, please persuade Your Majesty to think twice!" ”

Rui'er smiled slightly: "This adult has misunderstood, long live set up the secretariat, just to assist him in sorting out the chapters, but not to ask female officials to interfere in politics." Even if it is the main palace, it will never dare to disobey the ancestral system and discuss the government in vain, just to help Banzai take care of the harem. Long live reading the adult's recital, there will be a holy judgment, and please don't be impatient. "Let's go away.

Although Huang Daozhou touched a soft nail, his mood was relaxed. When the queen walked away, he said to Yuan Keli: "Teacher, although the saint abolished the twenty-four prisons and changed them to seven, and appointed female officials, the students did not approve of it; But now it seems that the harem does not have the intention of interfering in politics. The student was a little reckless just now, the queen won't blame, right? ”

Yuan Keli smiled incomprehensibly and said, "There are often unexpected moves in the saints, you and I will wait and see!" ”
