"What...... Er Manchuria wants to go to the honorific title, for my Ming vassal? This matter does not dare to be specialized, when the court to deal with, the ministry will send a boat division, send you and others into Beijing, as for how to decide, should be decided by the king of Yan. ”

In the lobby of the governor of southern Liaoning of Jinzhou Fort, Lu Liangzhi and Bai Wenxuan looked at Hu Gongming, who was respectful, and the seven or eight guards who were half-kneeling on the ground, looking at each other, they really didn't understand that the Dongyu, who had attacked Jinzhou Fort with great fanfare last year, would actually send someone to ask for surrender.

Lu Liangzhi is not for the sake of power, in front of Chongzhen, boasting that he can pacify Liao for five years Yuan Chonghuan, Donglu and Da Ming are in the same boat, how can the matter of appeasement be handled by a governor of his district, and if he is good at dictatorship and agrees to negotiate with Dongyu, is it still worthy of the tens of millions of Li people in Liaodong, Beizhili and Shandong who were killed by Dongyu?

"The foreign minister respectfully obeys the orders of Lord Futai!"

How dare Hu Gongming not agree, this time Dolgon issued a strict order, it is necessary to delay the official army's eastward crusade plan through peace talks until the Qing Dynasty collects money and grain, otherwise the main force of the Qing Dynasty will be held back by the Ming army, and how can there be spare strength to collect enough food from Korea.

On June 13, the envoys landed in Tianjin, and were then urgently escorted to the Beijing Division, and at the same time, the report of the Puppet Qing Dynasty asking for peace with the imperial court was also sent to the Beijing Division with an expedited 600 li.

The original Xiangcheng Bo Li Guozhen's mansion, now the Yanwang Mansion, His Royal Highness Li Xing, the king of Yan of the Ming Dynasty, is sitting in the pavilion next to the lotus pond in the backyard fishing with a rod, Mrs. Zhu Shuni stroked the slightly bulging belly, while gently shaking the fan for Li Xingzhi, who was leaning on the pillar.

On a June day, the weather in North China was already hot, feeling the slight coolness on his neck, Li Xingzhi said in a harmonious voice: "Mrs. is pregnant, since she should give birth and recuperate, just let the people serve her husband, the weather is so hot, don't be tired." ”

Zhu Shuni glanced at Li Xing and said: "The imperial doctor said, the child is only four months old, where is the body of the slave family so delicate, you are busy with state affairs all day long, it is rare to be at home, and the slave also wants to talk to you." ”

"Something?"

To be honest, although Li Xingzhi has seen a lot of ***** in his previous life, he is only limited to watching the action, and several women in Shandong have also used their own strength to get their hands on it, and they really don't know much about this boudoir.

“…… The slave family heard that the concubine in Penglai Pavilion was about to give birth, did the husband take people over, the people in our palace are thin, and a child is also lively. ”

"Uh...... You are in charge of this, by the way, you ask someone to see the imperial sister-in-law, ask her if she is still used to living, a few days ago Guangxi and Shaanxi paid tribute to some lychees and watermelons, and you also asked someone to bring them over to the imperial sister-in-law to taste. ”

Li Xingzhi's old face turned red, the evil feudalism still has superiority, even if you accept a few women, your wife will not object, but on the contrary, she will support it, of course, it is a little selfish to bring fruit to the emperor.

"Your Royal Highness, Liaodong Express, according to the governor of southern Liaoning, Lu Liangzhi, sent an envoy to ask for surrender, and now the envoy and the letter have arrived in Tianjin, and will enter Beijing in the near future, Liu Ge Lao and Zhang Ge Lao have come to discuss with His Royal Highness for this matter."

Liu Ru, the secretary of the Yanwang Mansion, walked over from behind the corridor with a plate of chilled wine and watermelon, and walked over from behind the corridor with Liu Lishun, the first assistant of the cabinet, and Zhang Sizhi, the second assistant of the cabinet, and gently placed the fruit plate on the stone table in the pavilion, and then slowly stepped aside.

"Hehe, I thought I could steal a floating life for a long time, but I didn't expect that there would be something again, what do you think of Liu Ge Lao and Zhang Ge Lao?"

Li Xingzhi did not take Liu Ruye's recital, and still stared at the buoy in the lotus pond with his own care, as if it was not as important as the fish rod in the pond.

"Your Royal Highness Huwei, a soldier who surrenders without a fight, according to the report of Liaonan, the eastern captives want to honor themselves, imitate the old example of Altan Khan, and be my Ming vassal for generations, and the country will be determined in the northern frontier!"

Zhang Sizhi is full of joy, since the first year of Yongli, it is really a good thing, first Li Zicheng was defeated, and then Shaanxi was re-incorporated into the scope of imperial court rule, and the southern expeditionary army also came to the news, Huguang Governor Song Yiniao, Sichuan Fu Shao Jiechun and Guangxi Governor Qu Shiyun all said that they were ordered by the imperial court, and the Jingbei Army unified the world to become a success, and now the East is coming to the door to ask for surrender, and the day of the Ming Dynasty is just around the corner.

"Mr. Liu, what do you think?"

Li Xingzhi was noncommittal, slowly lifted the fishing rod in his hand, reloaded the bait on the hook, and threw it into the pond again.

"Please surrender to the east, it all depends on the power of His Royal Highness, if you can reach a settlement, from now on the frontier will be peaceful, and the people will live and work in peace and contentment, all thanks to the blessing of Your Highness, and once the northern Xinjiang is stable, the imperial court will be able to single-mindedly destroy the puppet dynasty in the southern capital and recast the world."

Liu Lishun's view is the same as Zhang Sizhi's, it doesn't cost the court a single soldier to calm the trouble in Liaodong, as for the Liaodong, it is a bitter cold place, and it can't grow food, so what's the harm if it is thrown to the Dongyu? As long as the border can be peaceful, canonizing a khanate to the eastern captives is not a big deal.

"Hehe, ma'am, what do you think?"

Li Xingzhi stood still, looking at his wife and Liu Rushi on the side with a smile.

"Dongyu, please surrender? Why do they ask us to surrender? Donglu killed so many of us, robbed so many of our prefectures and counties, and now that our Ming is strong, they will come to ask for surrender, what are we Ming? ”

Zhu Shuni was angry, although she was a daughter, but in the end, she was the lord of Fuwang, and she had read the slander from the imperial court, and she knew very well about the cruelty of Dongyu, so she naturally would not suggest that Li Xingzhi agree to Dongyu's request to surrender.

Liu Ru also spoke: "The slave family thinks that what the county lord said is reasonable, Dongyu robbed me of so much wealth and goods, and slaughtered tens of millions of Li people in Liaodong and the Central Plains. If this is the case, in the future, the Mongols, the Japanese people, and the Burmese and Annam people in the south, and other sects will also follow the example of the Eastern Captives and enter our Ming Dynasty, kill the people of our Han family, and then ask for annexation, and we will also agree to them? ”

"As an elder of the imperial court, an important minister of the country, you are not as knowledgeable as a woman, women know that the Tartars are not credible, and they know that we accepted their invitation to surrender, and other vassals will follow suit, robbed the Ming Dynasty, and killed countless people Jiannu can be canonized by the imperial court, then we can also follow Jiannu, anyway, we can surrender if we can't fight, is there such a cheap thing in the world?"

Li Xingzhi's face changed slightly, and the views of Liu Lishun and Zhang Sizhi basically represent the psychology of the vast majority of officials in the Ming Dynasty, as long as the border is peaceful, their vested interests are guaranteed, and the black yarn hat is not lost, which cares about the life and death of the people, and which cares about the monstrous floods outside.

"Madame and Miss Liu are reasonable, but they are humble and abrupt, so they will send people to Tianjin Wei, lock the Dongyu envoy into Beijing, and execute them at the entrance of the vegetable market, so as to show that my Ming and Dongyu swear not to be separated."

Although Li Xingzhi's tone was calm, the meaning of his words made Liu Lishun a little flustered, he knew that he had the power he had now, all because of Li Xingzhi's thigh, where did he dare to mention anything to agree with the appeasement.

"No need, let the envoys enter Beijing, Lone will meet them in the Fengtian Temple, and then spread the news of the surrender of the Donglu to Yangzhou, the puppet dynasty supported by Shi Kefa and Ma Shiying also plans to unite the Dongyu to attack us, and I want to see what strategies they will have to deal with the news of the surrender of the Dongyu."

As Li Xingzhi spoke, the buoy in the pond sank suddenly.

"Husband, Your Highness, take the bait, take the bait!"

Zhu Shuni and Liu Ru pointed to the lotus pond and kept shouting, as if they were the fishermen.

Li Xingzhi lifted it slightly, and a crucian carp with a length of a foot was dragged out of the water, Liu Ru hurriedly stepped forward and threw the fish into the fish basket, and said happily: "Just give Mrs. a bowl of fish soup to replenish her body." ”
