Ming politicians

Jia Jihan worked hard, and finally entered the capital of Daming.

This time he was shouldering a heavy task, which was beyond his expectation. Huang Taiji summoned him suddenly and asked him to represent the Qing Dynasty and get in touch with the Ming court. Moreover, the entire itinerary had to be kept secret, and the Ming officials could not be informed in advance.Huang Taiji also has a special request, that is, after Jia Jihan reveals his identity, the Qing Dynasty will not recognize his identity.

The reason for this arrangement, Jia Jihan is clear about the connotation, and Huang Taiji bluntly stated the reason. The Qing Dynasty is in a difficult period. At this time, it is very difficult to contact the Ming court. The battles between Liaodong and Gaizhou failed. Well, the Ming court clearly had the upper hand in the entire battle. The south of the Liaohe River was completely controlled by Ming, and Haizhou and Yaozhou were in danger. Under such circumstances, it was very difficult to negotiate with the Ming court. Talking about talking is just thinking about meeting important ministers in the Ming court, the difficulty is self-evident.

Jia Jihan's task is to try his best to enter the capital of Ming Dynasty and try his best to contact the important ministers of Ming Dynasty. It is best to be able to find the ministers of the cabinet of Ming Dynasty and directly speak out the requirements of the Qing Dynasty.

Jia Jihan's time is only ten days. If there is no news within ten days, the Qing Dynasty will send another representative to try to get in touch with the Ming court again.

The more dangerous the task, the more valuable it will be. Jia Jihan understands the truth of this very well. The reason why he was sent to the Daming capital is also because he has come into contact with a lot of information and has a certain analysis and understanding of the Ming court. It is very possible to get in touch with the Ming court by adapting to the situation.

Ordinarily, such a task would not be accepted by ordinary people, and it was full of dangers.It seems that there is no benefit, and the possibility of success is not great, but Jia Jihan still firmly accepted the task, and made preparations quickly, and set off from Shenyang on the same day, in order to be able to complete the task well.Jia Jihan shaved off all his hair and pretended to be a monk.

Jia Jihan is a Han Chinese, and he is familiar with the living habits of the Han people. His ability to analyze problems is no worse than that of Fan Wencheng. Moreover, after he began to assist Tan Tai in charge of intelligence work in the Qing Dynasty, he also specially analyzed Fan Wencheng's experience and learned many lessons from it. , Make plans for your future.

The consequences of the high power earthquake.Jia Jihan knew very well that Huang Taiji's short analysis made Jia Jihan feel the same way. If the Qing Dynasty could make peace with the Ming court at this time, and take more practical actions to bow down to the Ming court and impress Ming court.You will definitely be able to get a chance to recuperate and recuperate, and there is a high possibility of it.The key target of the Ming court is likely to turn to Su Tiancheng.

The change of officials in the Ming Dynasty was controlled by the Qing Dynasty. Due to health reasons, Zhu Shenxuan did not continue to work. Lu Shanji, Xu Eryi and others all resigned from their posts.And the relationship between these people and Su Tiancheng is extraordinary. From the analysis of these information, it can also be concluded that the Ming court or the emperor may have begun to guard against Su Tiancheng.

With such information support.Negotiations between the Qing Dynasty and the Ming court are very important.

When he came to the capital, Jia Jihan had already made up his mind that the person he wanted to find directly was Zhou Yanru.

Zhou Yanru used to be the chief assistant of the cabinet of the Ming Dynasty, and was later dismissed, but not long ago he became the second assistant of the cabinet of the Ming Dynasty, replacing Zhu Shenxuan's position. This shows that the emperor of the Ming Dynasty trusted Zhou Yanru very much. Zhou Yanru moved Zhou Yanru, and Jia Jihan believed that he would be able to complete the mission.

What Jia Jihan didn't know was that when he just arrived in the capital, the Ming court made major adjustments. The former cabinet ministers Fu Guan and Xue Guoguan were conferred the titles of princes and grand masters, and they were removed from the post of cabinet bachelor, which is equivalent to becoming an official. Now, Chen Xinjia, the former governor of Liaodong, and Qian Qianyi, the imperial envoy of Youdu, entered the cabinet and became cabinet ministers, which can be said to have reached the sky in one step.

If Jia Jihan knew the news, he might have more confidence.

It was not too difficult for Jia Jihan to meet Zhou Yanru when he came to the capital. The jewels he carried were enough to help achieve his goal.

Using a night pearl worth more than one hundred thousand taels of silver, Jia Jihan got his wish and met a very important person, this person is Zhou Yanru's housekeeper Zhou Kang.

Zhou Kang has always been by Zhou Yanru's side, no matter when Zhou Yanru is prosperous or down, and Zhou Kang has helped Zhou Yanru do a lot of things, so he is the most trusted by Zhou Yanru.

Zhou Yanru became the second assistant of the cabinet, and there were still quite a few people who visited, but most of them had the intention of probing. After all, there were not many changes in the ministers of the court. Some people played a bad role when Zhou Yanru was in decline. Zhou Yanru was clear about the matter, and Zhou Kang was even more clear, so when receiving visitors, Zhou Kang's attitude was relatively clear, and he was able to express Zhou Yanru's intentions.

Jia Jihan sent the Ye Mingzhu, which surprised Zhou Kang. The person who can send such a gift is definitely not an ordinary person, so Zhou Kang immediately made a decision to meet this person in person.

Seeing Jia Jihan for the first time, Zhou Kang had an unusual feeling. The "monk" in front of him must not be a real monk, and his identity may be a bit mysterious.

Seeing Zhou Kang, Jia Jihan felt differently. Zhou Kang's weather-beaten calmness is not something ordinary people can show. Therefore, Jia Jihan didn't hide the slightest thing, and quickly revealed his identity, and he used three inches to reveal his identity. The rotten tongue made Zhou Kang believe that this was an excellent gift for Mr. Zhou Yanru.

Zhou Yanru became the second assistant of the cabinet. As the steward and main staff, Zhou Kang must of course grasp the situation in the court, and there are still conflicts between Zhou Yanru and Su Tiancheng, because of Zhou Shunqing's affairs, but also because of Zhou Shunqing's affairs. Zhou Yanru suffered a loss, and lost to Wen Tiren in the competition and protection of the position of chief assistant in the cabinet.

Of course Zhou Kang knew what the court and the emperor's biggest worries were, so after verifying Jia Jihan's identity, he quickly made a decision to keep Jia Jihan in the mansion, and sent special personnel to guard him, and then quickly reported it to Zhou Yanru.

Zhou Yanru is still young. He used to be the chief assistant of the cabinet, and now he is the second assistant of the cabinet. He is very lucky. It is said that he has experienced political storms and suffered a lot of losses. Zhou Yanru should calm down and take a steady step. One step at a time, doing the job well. Unfortunately, the country is easy to change, and the nature is hard to change. Zhou Yanru has a different idea. He still hopes to become the chief assistant of the cabinet, hold the power in his hand, call the wind and call the rain, and reflect his own value.

During these years of being unemployed, Zhou Yanru thought a lot. He summed up all the mistakes he made when he was the chief assistant of the cabinet, and also thought about what to do in the future. However, his rich experience in politics allowed him to analyze more about the struggle between the court and China, and how to pass Struggle to seize power, why Wen Tiren succeeded, why he failed, etc., are precisely because of these ideas. After becoming the cabinet assistant, Zhou Yanru paid great attention to grasping the emperor's mind, knowing the emperor's words and deeds, and acting accordingly. Come out to analyze, hoping to make correct decisions through these analyzes and gain the emperor's greatest trust.

With such a premise, after hearing Zhou Kang's report, Zhou Yanru, who thought for a while, decided to meet Jia Jihan immediately to grasp the true meaning of Huang Taiji. I'm glad that the biggest crisis in the imperial court is no longer the Empress Jin Tartar, but Su Tiancheng.

When seeing Jia Jihan, Zhou Yanru put on airs, and even when Jia Jihan took out Huang Taiji's handwritten letter, he didn't have much expression on his face.

At this time, Jia Jihan was very humble, and kept his head down all the time. Jia Jihan, who was good at observing words and expressions, knew long ago that his opportunity had come. If Zhou Yanru had no other ideas, he would not have seen it. If you are summoned by Zhou Yanru, then you must seize the opportunity.

"I admire your lord very much. I have heard of your prestige a long time ago. This is a little bit of my heart. Please accept it."

Jia Jihan took out a sandalwood box from his arms, and there were five luminous pearls in the box, which was a very heavy gift.

But Zhou Yanru didn't look straight at these luminous pearls.

What Jia Jihan noticed was that Zhou Yanru did not refuse, so he became more confident.

"My lord, I believe that the Qing Dynasty sincerely bowed its head and professed its vassal. Please take a closer look at the letter from Huang Taiji. The Qing Dynasty decided to cancel the plan of founding the country. Now it has stopped using the era of Chongde and restored Liaodong as the Jianzhou Wei. The establishment of the system is willing to let the prince enter the Daming capital and become a hostage..."

Zhou Yanru blinked his eyes, these conditions were enough to impress him.

Of course, there are still some key issues, but that is a matter for further negotiations, and this time it cannot be regarded as a real negotiation, but a request made by the imperial court, which will be dealt with later.

Zhou Yanru thought that he was really lucky. The emperor must be very happy to report this matter to the emperor, and he must also support such a negotiation, so that the court would be free to deal with Su Tiancheng. After the imperial decree and the residence report were issued, a lot of discussions had been aroused inside and outside the court. In the early days of the court, many civil and military ministers expressed their views, and some ministers even directly expressed their allegiance to the emperor and the court. This is a very good situation.

The adjustment of the cabinet is also an action by the emperor to shift his focus. I am afraid that for a period of time in the future, the emperor's main thought is to deal with Su Tiancheng. At this time, wouldn't it be a great thing for Hou Jin to really bow his head and become a minister.

An hour later, Jia Jihan left the study with a gratified smile on his face, he finally succeeded. (To be continued..)
