The result of the battle of Fengyang spread like a plague, and the Ming army, including the border army, a total of 60,000 troops, was ambushed by Lu Yan's army in this battle, and then disappeared. ∧⊙ ∧⊙ point∧⊙ Xiao ∧⊙ said,

This news completely shook the entire imperial court and the entire Ming Dynasty.

As Lu Yan guessed, in the special place of Fengyang, Daming lost a war related to the fortunes of the country, and it was difficult for people not to guess.

In addition, some people are still spreading wildly, and now the imperial court has not been able to mobilize any troops to quell the rebellion.

This makes people even more convinced that Daming has really reached a life-and-death juncture.

Maybe as long as Lu Yan gently pushes, the court will fall.

If those people are just guessing, the important ministers in the court know more about how miserable the current court is.

In the past, the imperial court still had a certain psychological advantage over the rebels, after all, those who failed were only the armies in the interior, and perhaps those rebels were not the opponents of the elite border army.

But now even the border army has failed, and the courtiers have nothing to do with the rebels.

In addition, the Jurchen army has been discovered at the border pass, and there are also rebellions in Shandong and the southwest, and the ministers in the court are panicked to the extreme.

They have no troops to put in the rebellion.

If Lu Yan moves his army north, then it will definitely be overwhelming, and he even has the ability to fight all the way to the city of Beijing, and then start a final decisive battle with the Ming Dynasty.

What is surprising is that he is now willing to join forces with Daming to fight against gold.

He must have been kicked in the head by a donkey!

I don't know how many courtiers thought maliciously.

This flower and country are in front of him, and he actually gave up like this.

Is...... Incorrigible.

Emperor Tianqi was even more frightened when he got the news of Fengyang's defeat, and fainted directly, could it be that the Ming Dynasty would be cut off in his hands.

Fortunately, at this critical moment, Lu Yan actually stopped.

Zhu Youxiao could only shout that this must be the blessing of the ancestors.

So he hurriedly summoned his ministers to discuss the matter.

Regarding this matter, the princes of the DPRK and China all overwhelmingly supported the peace.

Because the Ming Dynasty really can't send any troops.

If peace is not negotiated, then Lu Yan will continue to occupy those places where this power is empty.

The Jurchens may also enter the customs, which is simply the life of the Ming Dynasty.

is also a strong support for the eunuch party, Wei Zhongxian dared to guarantee that if the Ming army lost a few more battles, no matter how good Zhu Youxiao's temper was, he would also cut off his head to sacrifice the flag.

The most important thing is that Lu Yan sent someone to ask Wei Guangwei to send him a message, promising that he would not ask for such a condition as his head.

This was the reason for Gonggong Wei to finally agree to the peace talks.

Recently, because of Lu Yanqingjun's side, his father-in-law Wei has lost at least a dozen pounds.

He didn't know how long it had been since he had slept well, and he often dreamed of Zhu Youxiao cutting off his head and giving it to Lu Yan.

Poor Father-in-law Wei can't stand this kind of day anymore, and the sooner this kind of day ends, the better.

"It's just to discuss with Lu Yan, what identity should we give him. Vassal King or Lord? ”

People are not old, and they always want to go further, and Gu Bingqian, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, stood up and said.

Hearing this, many courtiers were silent again.

This is related to the decency of the imperial court, if Lu Yan is appointed as the chief soldier, then he will definitely not agree.

After all, he has a heavy army, and he has reached the point where he can completely overthrow the imperial court, and it is simply insulting to make him the chief soldier again.

But will he agree to make him a vassal king?

I'm afraid that Lu Yan's idea is more likely to be self-established as a king, or even as an emperor.

"My ancestral system of the Ming Dynasty is not to cede the land, if he sets himself up as the king, we will not be able to negotiate peace with him under any circumstances."

At this time, a famous minister stood up and said.

Many people nodded, the ancestral system of the Ming Dynasty has always been not harmonious, no compensation, no land, no tribute, the Son of Heaven guards the country, and the king guards the society.

If Lu Yan wants to establish himself as the king, and Zhu Youxiao agrees, then Zhu Youxiao is violating the ancestral system.

"Wechen thought that if we told him about our difficulties, he would surely understand."

At this time, the first assistant of the cabinet, Ye Xianggao, stood up and said.

Many people are skeptical of Ye Xianggao's words, will Lu Yan agree?

"In addition, we can marry a princess to Lu Yan to ensure that Lu Yan will not use troops against us again until our strength recovers."

Ye Xianggao continued.

"And pro? No! I will never say yes! I have been a country for more than 200 years, and I have never been in harmony! ”

Zhu Youxiao categorically denied it almost without thinking.

"Ahem...... Ahem......"

Ye Xianggao couldn't help coughing, and then said, "Actually, Lu Yan is not a foreigner, he is an orthodox Han Chinese. Only if you marry a foreigner, it is called a kiss. ”

Hearing this, Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but be dumbfounded for a while, and what he said was the same.

"Now Lu Yan's strength is too strong, if someone can be by his side to persuade him not to raise troops against the imperial court, then it will be of great benefit to the imperial court."

Ye Xianggao explained to everyone the benefits of marrying a princess.

In fact, he didn't want to talk about these things, and these words would definitely cause the emperor to be unhappy.

But as the head of the imperial court, he doesn't come out to take responsibility for these things, and who is willing to take this responsibility.

Therefore, Ye Xianggao felt that he had the responsibility to make this matter clear, even if Zhu Youxiao didn't like him.

Zhu Youxiao also knows what Ye Xianggao means, isn't it just a beauty plan?

If that princess can give birth to a few children and let him inherit the throne.

Then even if the Ming Dynasty is destroyed in the future, those descendants of the Zhu family may not be massacred.

Just like the Tang Dynasty did to the Sui Dynasty.

As soon as he thought of this, Zhu Youxiao was moved.

He felt that he had done a lot of wrong things, and it was time to make amends.

He could ignore his own life, but he had to think about so many descendants of the Zhu family.

"And Jiangnan is a real anointing place, even if you marry the princess, you don't have to worry about the princess suffering."

Ye Xianggao continued.

"I understand, I'm right on this matter."

Zhu Youxiao waved his hand and motioned for him not to continue.

He finally felt the pain of his younger brother Chongzhen in advance, and this feeling of fate being involuntary was too bad.

"I agreed to negotiate peace, I also agreed to marry the princess, and I also agreed to unite against Jin."

Speaking of this, Zhu Youxiao's face was painful, and tears couldn't stop flowing down his face.

It was a shame for the emperor to be in his share.

"The sins of the ministers deserve death, and they can't relieve the saint's worries!"

At this time, one of the ministers wept bitterly and kowtowed.

"Waiting for the ...... of Death"

"Waiting for the ...... of Death"

More and more ministers knelt down and wept bitterly.

So there was a very touching scene of the monarchs and ministers hugging their heads and crying in the court.

It was not easy for everyone to stop crying and discuss some details before dispersing.
