Autumn of the 17th year of Chongzhen

Chapter 661
The meeting of the Ministry of Rites broke up unhappy, and Feng Quan watched a big show. The target Dorgon gave him was to delay the Ming Dynasty's attack and divide the Ming Dynasty. He stirred up the situation in the Ming Dynasty, which made him very proud.

At present, apart from the task of letting the Ming army's navy withdraw from the Yangtze River and restoring the water transportation has not been completed, he can basically be considered as close to the consummation of his merits and deeds.

Facts have proved that although the Wei Party was corrupt and corrupt back then, the people who recruited them were indeed very capable, and it was much more troublesome to start things than Donglin, who was only talking about it.

The treacherous and evil people in history have almost all outstanding abilities. They have no ability and cannot be a treacherous minister, but it is precisely because of their great ability that once they do something that endangers the country, the consequences will be particularly serious. In fact, a traitor is a traitor, and one cannot give a good evaluation just because of his ability.

Wang Yan left the Ministry of Rites with a frosty face. He naturally knew why Pang Tianshou was eager to negotiate a peace.

The eunuch party is too weak at this time, and urgently needs a great achievement in order to gain the right to speak in the court, so the emperor has the idea of ​​sending him to participate in the peace negotiation, so that once the peace agreement is reached, the emperor can use this to reward the eunuch party and will The eunuch forces were cultivated.

This is the way of the emperor's check and balance. From the emperor's point of view, there is nothing wrong with it. No matter who is the emperor, as long as he is not an idiot, he will choose this way.

In the current court, the Chu party is the object of the emperor's fear. The civil official group has been trying to limit the emperor's power since ancient times, and he is not completely united with the emperor. If the emperor does not have his own team, he will naturally be terrified, and cultivating the eunuch party is his only choice.

On the other hand, Nanjing can be brought back through peace talks, and it also avoids giving the feudal towns, especially Wang Yan, the opportunity to continue to make contributions. Moreover, after the imperial court took over Jiangnan and Lianghuai, it has the territory directly controlled by the central government.

The south of the Yangtze River and the Huaihe River are both rich places. The imperial court got rid of Wang Yan's financial control. After having money, recruiting soldiers and buying horses is not a problem. The emperor only needs to bear the burden of humiliation for a few years, and he can compete with many feudal towns.

In this way, the emperor can not only return to Nanjing during his lifetime, but can even complete the act of reducing the vassal. Even if such achievements are not as good as Taizu and Chengzu, there is absolutely no problem in being the third son, and there will be a strong trace in the history books. Pen.

Thinking about this, it is not difficult to understand that the emperor and Pang Tianshou are eager to negotiate a peace, but their thinking is too wishful thinking. With Jianyi's habit, even if they really want to negotiate a peace, it will not be on such a condition.

At this time, Wang Yan felt that he had miscalculated. He still thought of all kinds of struggles within the court and the conflicts between him and the emperor in a too simple and optimistic way, and underestimated the cruelty of political struggles.

After all, he has been an official for a short time, and he has not experienced the baptism of party struggles such as the Eun Party, Donglin, Qi Party, Zhejiang Party, Ma Ruan, etc., and his experience is slightly insufficient.

At this time, he even felt that his current situation was very similar to Yue Fei's. He was also very helpless when the emperor wanted to make peace with Qin Hui, but obviously he would not be as passive as Yue Fei.

Just now, although he let Feng Quan see the internal problems of the Ming Dynasty, he temporarily messed up the matter and bought time to re-adjust strategies and respond.

Wang Yan went back to the Hengyang Prince's Mansion, he plunged into the study without having dinner, a moment later Yu Taichu came outside the Taoist room: "Your Highness!"

"Come in!" Wang Yan greeted, and when he entered the room and stood in front of him, he asked, "In the early days, I ask you alone, what happened to Feng Quan and his party recently?"

Yu Taichu thought for a while and replied: "Apart from going to the Ministry of Rites to talk about peace every day, that guy spends most of his time hanging out in Guangjing all day, so there is no other special thing."

Wang Yan frowned slightly after hearing this: "You arrange manpower to closely monitor Gu Gu, and report his movements to Gu Gu every day, you understand?"

Seeing Wang Yan's serious expression, Yu Taichu did not dare to neglect, clasped his fists in a salute, and said solemnly: "Your highness understands, don't worry, even if that guy sees a fly, I will count him down."

Wang Yan nodded, waved his hands and said, "Go and do it!"

Yu Taichu bowed and left the study, not long after, Wang Fuzhi, Chen Bangyan and Gu Yanwu were invited again.

Several people sat down in the study, Wang Fuzhi saw Wang Yan's sad face, and knew that he had been to the Ministry of Rites, so he tentatively asked: "Your Highness, is the peace negotiation to be finalized?"

After hearing this, Chen Bangyan looked at Wang Fuzhi in astonishment, then turned to Wang Yan, and asked, "Your Highness, is there anything wrong?"

The three expressed disagreement. Judging from the expressions of Gu Yanwu and Wang Fuzhi, they had been negotiating for more than half a month, and perhaps they had expected this a long time ago.

Wang Yan sighed, and said: "Although it has not been settled, it is almost the same. His Majesty and many ministers saw the terms, and most of them agreed to negotiate a peace."

After hearing this, Chen Bangyan said angrily: "How can we negotiate a peace? Don't you want the northern half of the wall? Don't you want the capital? Do you want to recognize the legal system of the Qing Dynasty?"

Wang Fuzhi didn't get angry when he arrived, "Your Highness, I don't know what the conditions are."

Immediately Wang Yan said all three, and several people were silent for a while.

Such a condition is indeed embarrassing even for the main fighters to oppose it. With a peace negotiation, Jiangnan and Huaihe Rivers can be taken back. Your main fighters have not yet set a fixed date for returning to Nanjing, so why not talk about peace.

But it is precisely such conditions that people need to be vigilant about. How can Jianyi's conduct be so noble, so detrimental to himself and others, is Dorgon going to become a Buddha immediately?
Chen Bangyan immediately understood the key point, "His Royal Highness, Jianyi offered so many conditions, the final key is to let the navy withdraw from the Yangtze River. This is just a way to slow down the troops."

Wang Yan said: "Jianyi's purpose, I can only guess one or two. One is to open up water transportation, and the other is to provoke conflicts within the court. Although I know it well, some people in the court believe in Jianyi."

I believe this may not be completely believed, but as long as there is a possibility of reaching a peace agreement, even if it is only [-]%, we have to take risks. After all, once it is really realized, it will be equal to the blessing of the achievements of the recovery of the Southern Capital and thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, and even enough. It overwhelmed Wang Yan.

After listening to Wang Yan's words, the few people should be able to guess which part of the person this person is as long as they think a little bit in their hearts, and there was a slight silence in the study.

At this time, Wang Yan suddenly asked: "Brother, Mr. Gu, when we talked about the civil strife in Jianyi, I saw that the expressions of the two of you were different from everyone else's. Instead, you were a little worried. I don't know why?"

Wang Fuzhi and Gu Yanwu looked at each other after hearing the words, and finally Gu Yanwu said: "Your Highness, I must have noticed that as the situation in Ming Dynasty improved, the imperial court's involvement with His Highness became more and more obvious."

Wang Yan nodded. From the time he became king to now, he really felt many constraints. Many policies were not implemented as smoothly as before, and many reform strategies were not approved by the court.

"Sir, continue to talk." Wang Yan stretched out his hand and listened carefully.

Gu Yanwu sighed before saying anything, "Your Highness, forgive me for speaking bluntly, the breakup between Hauge and Dorgon is a great joy for Daming, but for Your Highness, I am afraid that in the future, the court will face even more oppression. gone."

Wang Yan had expected this. He originally thought that conflicts would erupt violently after Nanjing was liberated, but judging from the current situation, he was too optimistic.

Wang Yan was slightly silent, and after a while, he pondered: "Since Mr. has predicted something, I wonder if there is a plan to teach Gu?"

"If a tree is beautiful in the forest, the wind will destroy it; if it is piled up on the shore, the current will be turbulent; if it is higher than others, everyone will criticize it!" Gu Yanwu stood up, bowed, and said solemnly: "I think that your highness has been in the past few years. The limelight is too strong, but the foundation is not stable, the most urgent thing is to strengthen the foundation and cultivate the talents, and consolidate the foundation!"
