Ren Cheng listened to Gao Qiqian's words, looked very happy, and said, "Yes! My father-in-law is absolutely right! So why don't you do it quickly? If this thing is done well, maybe it will be your chance to please the emperor! ”

As Ren Cheng spoke, he took out a piece of paper and gave it to Gao Qiqian, saying, "That! Father-in-law, with these as proof, I think the emperor will be very happy, and you will also make great contributions! After all, Hong Chengchou really didn't surrender to our Manchurians, he really committed suicide! ”

"Good! Great! "Joy in the sky! He was about to enter the palace to face Chongzhen.

Chongzhen looked at Gao Qiqian, and then looked at the information collected by Gao Qiqian, although the news given by Wu Sangui said that it was not certain whether Hong Chengchou was dead, but he knew that he was on a hunger strike, some rumors said that he was about to die when he was dying, and some rumors were that he had been martyred! There were also rumors that he had surrendered to the Manchus, in short, rumors were flying all over the sky.

Now the information collected by Gao Qiqian, as well as the documents recorded in Manchu and other information, all prove that Hong Chengchou was really loyal to the country and died on hunger strike.

Chongzhen is also extremely confident, he is so good to Hong Chengchou, he is deeply gracious, Hong Chengchou has to repay him with death! It will never be like Zu Dashou, Xia Chengde, Jiang Fei and others who have become ministers and generals! And the rumor that Hong Chengchou surrendered is very rare, and it is far from being covered up by the rumor that Hong Chengchou was martyred.

"That's it! Hong Chengchou is a loyal minister, I know better than anyone else! I know that people are good at their jobs, and there will never be mistakes! Chongzhen was full of confidence.

Gao Qiqian hurriedly flattered: "Yes! The emperor is wise and wise, and no one can match it! The minister is the minister of the country! They are all faithful! ”

Chongzhen said: "Xie Lu Xie Gao's companion's information!" All right! High companion, you step aside! I still have to review the cantata! ”

"Long live the emperor! Hooray! After raising the mountain cry for a while, he retreated.

After Gao Qiqian walked away, Chongzhen sneered and said, "I really can't understand why Gao Qiqian is so small, why do you have to get along with Zhang Biwu?" ”

"Huh?" Wang Chengen didn't understand, he opened his mouth wide. Chongzhen said to him: "Wang Banban, Jinyiwei and Dongchang have reported to me that Zhang Biwu and Cao Bianjiao have a gambling contract, if it is confirmed three months later that Hong Chengchou is really dead and did not surrender to the Manchus, then Zhang Biwu is willing to cut off his head!" ”

"Ahh Wang Chengen was stupid again and said, "How can this Zhang Biwu be so stupid? So stupid? He didn't make such a bet that a wise man would have made! ”

"Ha Lu Ha!" Chongzhen laughed and said, "Ha Lu Ha! Wang Banban, if everyone is as high-spirited as Zhang Biwu, I can rest assured! It seems that Zhang Biwu is still a little cute, and I can still control him easily! ”

Wang Chengen couldn't understand and asked, "What does the emperor mean?" ”

Chongzhen happily explained: "Zhang Biwu is still a thoughtful person after all! It's still a martial artist! A martial artist doesn't understand politics, he only knows how to fight, and he can only be used by people and kings forever! If it were someone else, a civil servant or something like that, he would never make such a bet! It's all over the city! Isn't this embarrassing yourself? ”

"Ahh Wang Chengen understood, because of this, Chongzhen was a lot more relieved about Zhang Biwu!

Wang Chengen thought of a little, and he asked: "Your Majesty, Hong Chengchou must be a loyal minister, Zhang Biwu doesn't know why he has such a headless and brainless statement, it's really stupid!" It's just that the minister is worried, the minister loses, do you really want him to lose his head to Cao Bianjiao? ”

Chongzhen pointed at Wang Chengen, smiled hajlily, and said, "Chengen! You're relieved! When I arrive, I can make a holy decree, Zhang Biwu still has to serve the country, his life is not his own, it is the country, it is mine! If Zhang Biwu doesn't have to die, Cao Bianjiao won't have anything to say! Zhang Biwu's life was saved by me, and he can't be grateful to me? You say, don't you? ”

Wang Chengen hurriedly knelt down and said, "The emperor is sage! O Shengming! Chongzhen laughed loudly for this, and he laughed very happily!

Barto had already spread the news to Shenyang quickly. Huang Taiji has always been bedridden, but he has hidden everything and is not allowed to leak it out in the slightest.

And he also heard that Dolgon has repeatedly inquired about things in the palace, Dolgon's little Dongdong, Huang Taiji is knowledgeable, and Dolgon wants to know whether Concubine Zhuang is good.

Before Concubine Zhuang Da Yu'er persuaded Hong Chengchou to surrender, Dolgon was even more frantically inquiring about Da Yu'er's news, and he went crazy to save Da Yu'er.

Huang Taiji is knowledgeable, just at this time Fan Wencheng said that it is okay to persuade Hong Chengchou, Hong Chengchou does not look at the appearance of loyalty to the Ming Dynasty, but he is still very afraid of death. Fan Wencheng and Huang Taiji formulated a strategy to persuade Hong Chengchou, which is indispensable to Da Yuer, who is the key to persuading Hong Chengchou!

However, Huang Taiji has another plan, that is, to stabilize Dolgon, his body is getting worse day by day, if Dolgon is in trouble again, the entire Qing Dynasty is unpredictable, and it is not what he wants to see.

So Huang Taiji gave an opportunity to ask Dolgon to say that he wanted Da Yuer to make a great contribution to the Qing Dynasty, so Huang Taiji went along the line and said that he wanted to persuade Hong Chengchou. At the end of the day, it was to show the beauty trick, Dolgon was very uncomfortable in his heart, and his opinion on Huang Taiji was also very big, but the wood was already in the boat, and it was useless for him to oppose it, and this resentment was hidden deep in his heart.

Huang Taiji got Hong Chengchou to surrender, he was very happy, so he gave Dolgon face, saying that Dolgon was able to persuade Da Yu'er and let Da Yu'er persuade Hong Chengchou. In this way, Dolgon was very helpless in his heart, he was really dumb and couldn't say that he was suffering from eating Coptis chinensis.

When Huang Taiji was hunting, a soldier quickly handed over the letter to him, this was Bato's secret letter, he couldn't help but be surprised after reading it, and said, "What's the matter?" Why would Zhang Biwu bet with Cao Bianjiao? Bet on whether Hong Chengchou surrendered! Everyone in the Ming Kingdom thinks that Hong Chengchou is absolutely loyal, and he will never surrender! But Zhang Biwu can see through Hong Chengchou at a glance that he has surrendered! He's too powerful, isn't he? ”

Huang Taiji is very satisfied with the work of his national defense espionage: "It is said that we in Shengjing will not have the spies of the Ming Dynasty to penetrate into the depths, and the investigation of suspicious people in our country is very strict!" There were very few spies in the Ming Dynasty. There are almost no deep penetrations! ”

His satisfaction and self-confidence are grounded, because Chongzhen and the Ming Dynasty all thought that Hong Chengchou was loyal to the country, but they did not find out the slightest news that Hong Chengchou had fallen, and after reaching the worst, he made a big joke. It can be seen how perfect the counter-espionage work of the Manchu Qing Dynasty was.

Huang Taiji couldn't help but glance back at Hong Chengchou behind him, and he continued to think: "Amazing! When I saw Hong Chengchou on hunger strike, I thought I had caught another Zhang Chun! I'm so upset about it! If Fan Zhangjing hadn't seen through it, and the extremely intelligent Da Yu'er said that he had a great grasp of persuading Hong Chengchou to surrender, I wouldn't have been able to let Hong Chengchou surrender to me! But Zhang Biwu is in the distance, but he can see through Hong Chengchou at a glance! Terrible! That's amazing! ”

Huang Taiji couldn't help but look at the contents of the letter again, and Bato proposed to use this opportunity to kill Zhang Biwu and hide the news of Hong Chengchou's surrender! Do not leak. Even if Zhang Biwu is not killed, it can greatly reduce Zhang Biwu's prestige, and let people know that Zhang Biwu is a person who doesn't count his words and a reckless gambler.

Huang Taiji smiled and thought: "Many people can see this, but Zhang Biwu can't not see it!" He did this, maybe to dispel Chongzhen's vigilance, right? Zhang Biwu, it seems that you are a general under Chongzhen, it is really hard! ”

Huang Taiji thought about it, it would be a good thing to be able to eliminate Zhang Biwu's reputation and give him a bad reputation as a reckless gambler.

And Huang Taiji saw that Hong Chengchou was hiding in the distance, although he had already surrendered, but he still didn't want to expose it, where it was the most hidden, where there were the least people, he would go. It seems that hunting has nothing to do with him Hong Chengchou, although Huang Taiji arranged this hunt to distract Hong Chengchou.

Huang Taiji knows that Hong Chengchou's family is still in Beijing, Hong Chengchou has been influenced by the idea of loyalty since he was a child, if he betrays his family and country all of a sudden, this is really a very difficult thing, his psychology is difficult to bear, it must be a long time, Hong Chengchou can resolve this shame of betraying his homeland and betraying his ancestors.

Now, if all the news of Hong Chengchou's surrender can be hidden, it is to protect Hong Chengchou's family, and it is also to worry about Hong Chengchou's feelings, in this case, Hong Chengchou must be very grateful. It's a win-win!

Huang Taiji made a decision, he was relaxed, he asked Zu Dashou and Zu Dale who surrendered to go hunting, of course, he would ask Zu Dashou to write a letter to Wu Sangui, telling Wu Sangui that Hong Chengchou had died of hunger strike, and he wanted to spread rumors that Hong Chengchou was dead everywhere in Shengjing, so that the Ming Dynasty spies in Shengjing could bring the wrong information back to the Ming Dynasty.

The plan has been decided, and he will carry it out later. The prepared Huang Taiji was in the gap, he began to read the Han book, even when he was on the horse, Huang Taiji did not forget to study the Han culture diligently, and he also respected the Han culture.

It's just that Huang Taiji often laughs at Chongzhen, the Han culture is broad and profound, but Chongzhen, as the emperor of the Han people, can't use the culture, truth, and knowledge of the Han people to govern the country well, but makes the country more and more chaotic and worse. The whole country is facing the scourge of national destruction! This can only be blamed for Chongzhen's lack of the ability to be a master who is good at employing and accommodating people, even if he is diligent in government, it will not help.
