Seventy-seven Struggle for power
Dolgon suddenly threw out these words, it was really like a thunderbolt in the clear sky, everyone present was shocked, Guo Shulin slapped the table and said angrily: "Your emperor is also shameless, how can you use the safety of the people of the two countries as a bargaining chip to rob the weak women of other countries?"
Liu Ru whispered in Xiao Bei's ear: "Look, this Guo League Master seems to be so concerned about that holy woman Hongyan, let me ask you, if Huang Taiji wants me this time, will you agree?"
Xiao Bei frowned and said, "You are mediocre, and Huang Taiji is not blind, how can he take a fancy to you?"
Liu Ru was so angry that she hammered him hard, and said, "I have a mediocre appearance, how can you take a fancy to me when there are so many women in the world?"
Xiao Bei said in surprise: "Is it because I fell in love with you? If it weren't for your stubborn fighting, how could I have no choice but to lose my life?"
Liu Ru heard him say dirty, and said that he didn't know how to speak for a while, and was stunned for a moment, so he immediately rushed forward and hit and bit him. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The two were flirting and scolding, Yang Sichang coughed twice, and said: "Your Highness, the status of the Hongyan Fairy is transcendent, and the emperor can't force her, and she has to agree to this matter herself, so I can give you an answer." But if you add this clause to the article, the rest of the favors that we have bestowed will be reduced. ”
Dolgon sighed abruptly: "Lord Guo, Lord Yang, I can't help it, since my eldest brother has made a request, I have to complete it for him, otherwise how can I show that I am loyal? As for the rest of the terms, they can be discussed." But ......"
Yang Sichang hesitated when he heard him, and immediately asked, "But what?"
Dolgon stared at Yang Sichang for a moment, then respectfully bowed to the ground, and said, "I hope Lord Yang will help me." ”
Yang Sichang was at a loss for a moment, hurriedly helped him up, and asked, "Why did Your Highness do this? ”
"There's no outsider at the moment," said Dolgon, "so I'll just say it." My eldest brother is very old, and the eldest son of the emperor, Haoge, has a strong temperament, and has always been on good terms with me. I have taken great pains to seek the opportunity to come here to negotiate peace, and if the results are satisfactory to my eldest brother, then I will be able to step further and be on an equal footing with Hauge. ”
Yang Sichang pondered for a moment and said, "Do you mean that you want me to make a big concession on the terms? With all due respect, I have only proposed peace, and now I have been scolded by the ministers of the DPRK and China, and if the treaty is too unfavorable to my Ming Dynasty...... I'm afraid that the court will be in chaos, and the emperor can't hold it back. ”
Dorgon shook his head and said, "I don't want you to back down, but I have three small requirements, and I know that the eldest brother is bound to win." The rest of the terms are negotiable. ”
Yang Sichang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard him say frankly, and said, "What is the request?"
"The first is the full opening of trade between the two countries. Although I have a lot of land and resources, after all, I am not as ingenious as the Han people, and I have always envied all kinds of exquisite creations in your country. If we can use your country's strengths to make up for our country's shortcomings, then we don't have to take pains, and we have to organize people to come to your country every year to plunder. ”
Yang Sichang remained silent, and continued: "What about the second point?"
Dolgon continued: "On the second point, the Emperor hopes that your kingdom will give us 300,000 taels of silver every year, plus 30,000 horses of fine silk, and in return, we will give you 5,000 cattle and 10,000 sheep every year. ”
Yang Sichang was overjoyed in his heart, and said secretly: "This requirement is much less than I imagined, and it seems that Huang Taiji is not insatiable." ”
In fact, what he said to Guo Shulin before was just the worst plan he envisioned, and when he negotiated with Dolgon, he would fight with reason to minimize the losses of the Ming Dynasty. However, due to the weakness of the Ming Dynasty, if Dolgon really pressed forward step by step, then he would have to practice the seven articles of the humiliation of the country.
Although Yang Sichang was happy in his heart, his face showed embarrassment, and said: "Such a large amount of silver taels, I'm afraid that there are some difficulties, can Your Highness reduce it some?"
Dolgon shook his head and said, "Lord Yang, what I am telling you now is the bottom line set for me by the emperor's eldest brother. I should have made higher demands and bargained with you, but I really want to ask you now, so I am open and honest, tell the truth, and hope that Lord Yang will not behave again. ”
Yang Sichang saw that his attitude was sincere, so he nodded and said, "Your Highness is quick to speak, and you should obey your orders." ”
Dolgon paused, and said again: "The third point, the eldest brother of the emperor is very fond of the majestic and delicate buildings of your country, so I would like to ask your country to send some skilled craftsmen to come over and teach them their skills and build palaces. ”
When he said this, he pointed to Lu Guanzhong and said, "I have heard that the ingenuity of your country's architectural craftsmanship is no better than that of a public family. Therefore, I wanted to recruit Lu Shao as a guest, but Lu Shao thought that I was an enemy and not a friend, so I categorically refused, which made me sad. Now that Lord Yang is here, please say it for me, let me make a wish. ”
When Lu Guanzhong heard that Dolgon brought up the old matter again, he couldn't help but be secretly frightened, and hurriedly used a trick to "move the trouble to Jiangdong", and said: "Lord Yang, to be honest, I am the apprentice of the Tibetan mastiff messenger, and all the skills are taught by him. As he spoke, he took an invisible black cauldron and buckled it to the top of Xiao Bei's head.
Xiao Bei scolded secretly, got up in a panic and said: "Your Royal Highness Dolgon, I have only taught Lu Shao some superficial kung fu, and I don't know anything else. ”
Lu Guan Zhong was anxious to shake off the pot, but he also stood up and arched his hand: "Your Highness Dolgon, this Tibetan mastiff envoy is erudite and talented, in addition to his strong martial arts, he is also good at making dolls, building bridges and roads, intrigues, usurping power, commanding the army, astrology, washing and cooking, cleaning the room, and even the living and dead, flesh and bones. I think as long as you take him back to China alone, what Haoge and Huang Taiji are not your opponents, and the throne of the Qing Dynasty is just around the corner. ”
Dolgon was overjoyed when he heard what he said, and hurriedly turned to Xiao Bei, and said excitedly: "Brother Xiao, I knew that you were a talent, but I didn't expect that Daxian would come to this point, and he didn't know Taishan before, and he almost let you go." Now fortunately, Lu Shao is reminded by the family, but fortunately it was not a big mistake. No, I want you to agree to be my guest now, go with me to Daqing, and help me succeed. ”
How could Xiao Cheap have imagined that things would develop to such a point? In a hurry, he said with a straight face: "What a big man, this Lu Shao is talking nonsense, but in fact, he is a great sage. As a public loser, he can not only make a three-eyed weapon, but also bring people back to life, and when it comes to schemes, he is even more treacherous, and even Li Daoyi is planted in his hands. And he is deeply hidden, and his martial arts are also extremely amazing. ”
Lu Guan Zhong was also anxious, and said: "Your Highness, in fact, this Xiao Tibetan mastiff has an amazing secret, and my art of resurrecting the dead is taught by him. He also has a trick that no one in the world can match, that is the method of stealing jade and stealing incense, and none of the beauties he fancies can escape the palm of his hand, and the willow messenger is ironclad evidence......"
In order to get rid of Dolgon's entanglement, the two tried their best to praise each other, and put high hats on each other's heads. For fear of blowing the other party weak, he will be favored by Dorgon. In the end, in the mouths of the two, Xiao Jie almost became a saint of Emperor Xi, omnipotent. Lu Guan Zhong turned into the Buddha, and Ze was born.
Seeing that the two of them were over-touted, Dolgon only said that the two of them were nonsense, and he was disappointed in his heart, and said: "Two, now I have important things to do, please don't have to entertain me." ”
After that, he continued to say to Yang Sichang: "These three requirements are the bottom line set by my emperor's eldest brother, if you refuse to agree, then I will have nothing to say." ”
Yang Sichang did not hesitate and said: "Okay, since His Royal Highness Dolgon is so refreshing, then I can't be a twister, these three conditions, I will agree to it for the emperor." But I wonder if His Highness has any other requests?"
Dolgon hesitated for a moment and said, "Lord Yang, I'm sorry, what I said before is untrue, in fact...... Slightly hidden. ”
Yang Sichang smiled knowingly, as if Dolgon's words were expected by him, and said: "It's okay, Your Highness has his own hardships, I understand." ”
Dolgon approached Yang Sichang, pulled him out of the hall, and said in a low voice: "Huang Taiji is infected with a chronic disease, and it is difficult to heal if it is delayed, but he is afraid that his life will not last long. Therefore, I ordered me to pass on the fairy of the wild goose to enter the palace, named as a concubine, which is actually a cure. ”
Yang Sichang's heart was shocked, and he said in a trembling voice: "Is this true......? In the event that Huang Taiji dies, isn't Your Highness in danger?"
Dolgon nodded and said, "That's right, so without further ado, I must quickly reach an agreement and bring the Hongyan Holy Maiden back to Shengjing as soon as possible." It is necessary to extend the life of the eldest brother of the emperor for a long time, and buy time for me to seize power. ”
The two were talking secretly, and suddenly something floated in Yang Sichang's arms, shining brightly, showing the appearance of a small woman.
The woman said, "Dolgon, I am Hongyan, I am now recuperating in Fanjing Mountain, I have heard your conversation just now, I am willing to go to Shengjing with you, but I have a request. ”
Dolgon was shocked in his heart, and couldn't help but look at Yang Sichang, a puzzled look appeared in his eyes. Yang Sichang nodded seriously and said, "This is indeed the immortal method of the Hongyan Holy Maiden, Your Highness does not need to doubt it." ”
Dolgon turned to great joy and said respectfully: "The Wild Goose Fairy is really superb, and now my eldest brother is saved. It's just that I don't know what the fairy wants, as long as he is within his ability, he will definitely agree. ”
Hong Yan frowned and said word by word: "I want you to make that willow messenger disappear forever, and don't let her appear in front of me again." (To be continued.) )
