Zhu Yinglong convened the ministers of the cabinet to discuss the candidates for negotiation in Wenyuan Pavilion and draft terms of negotiations by his own side.

The negotiations are important. We must choose an experienced official who is good at eloquence and can control the standards of negotiations. After all, the six ministers and emperor Zhu Yinglong themselves selected Liu Hongxun. Liu Hongxun had been on a mission to North Korea. He was just and very eloquent, and was not too old-fashioned. He was the most suitable candidate. The negotiations were agreed, and Zhu Yinglong immediately issued an order to recover Liu Hongxun, who had just left Beijing to serve as governor of Anhui, and sent Shandong Censor Ding Qirui to be promoted to governor of Anhui.

The deputy envoy of the negotiation was planned to be Huang Jin, a lecturer at the Hanlin Academy. This person was upright and did not follow the crowd. In the sixth year of Tianqi, Wei Zhongxian planned to build a temple on the west side of the National Studies Museum. The person in charge of the National Studies Museum planned to transfer him to take charge of his affairs. Huang Jin laughed and said, "That eunuch is a erect person, my historian, how can I make a smile on the eunuch with a good official and make a smile on the eunuch!" Resolutely rejected, and the sacred land of scholars will be defiled from then on, which is a great shame for intellectuals. He asked to transfer from the Hanlin Academy. This is a talent and the court cannot be buried. Another deputy envoy is Zhou Wenyuan in the Shadow, who works for the Censorate and Zhu Yinglong's old team.

Ningyuan was short of clothes and food, so Zhu Yinglong issued an order to urgently transfer a batch from the Beijing warehouse, and to purchase some from the private sector, it is necessary to ensure the supply of Ningyuan's officers and soldiers, and allocate 500,000 taels of silver from the national treasury for the purpose of building Ningyuan City.

Liu Hongxun arrived in Beijing five days later. Before he could report to the Ministry of Personnel, he had a drink of water. He was sent by Zhu Yinglong to wait for the Ministry of Personnel to carry it into the palace directly.

Liu Hongxun had heard on the road that the court had won a great victory, but it was unprecedented. He had already had a seven-point intention in his heart about the court's sudden quick horse to recover him. He was probably calling him into the palace to be related to the peace talks between the Later Jin Dynasty.

"My memory, Liu Hongxun, respectfully invites the Holy One!" Under the leadership of the eunuch in the palace, Liu Hongxun came to Zhu Yinglong's newly opened office, Yangxin Hall, and saw Zhu Yinglong, and raised his head and bowed.

"Pretty, come and show Lord Liu a seat." Zhu Yinglong also had a copy of the Shaanxi Censor Zhang Shenyan impeached several officials who had dereliction of duty and embezzled. Zhu Yinglong approved him to verify it first. If there is any evidence, when he reported to the Ministry of Justice to file a case, it is not the time to clarify the administration of the officials. He can only shock the officials below and let them restrain themselves a little.

Liu Hongxun hurriedly thanked him and walked to the side to sit down. He had the first meeting with the new emperor. After receiving the imperial enrollment order from the court, he was still a little worried and did not immediately agree to be an official. However, seeing that the Beijing court is a famous scholar and many old friends, along with the imperial enrollment order, there were several letters from them asking him to come out. He spoke earnestly and said that the new emperor was a rare wise monarch. If one person said this to him, perhaps he still didn't believe it, but several people said this, he believed it a little. Only after the second enrollment was summoned, he agreed to take office as the governor of Anhui.

When Zhu Yinglong buried his head in writing a reply to Zhang Shenyan's memorial, Liu Hongxun, who was sitting below, secretly observed the new emperor who was only eighteen years old, with a slightly tender face and focused expression. After writing several paragraphs, he seemed to be still a little unsatisfied. He bowed down and wrote several paragraphs, and then put down the brush in his hand, blew the elixirs, and said to Xu Yingyuan who was serving him: "Give this memorial a few masters a look. If you have no objection, send it back as soon as possible!"

"Yes, I'll go now." Xu Yingyuan took the memorial and hurried out.

"The emperor is busy with all kinds of things every day, which is a blessing for my Ming Dynasty. I was afraid and asked the emperor to issue two conscript orders to share the worries of the emperor!" Liu Hongxun saw the scene just now and excitedly knelt down to Zhu Yinglong again.

"Mr. Liu, hurry up, get up quickly. I am a junior to an old minister like you. Not to mention twice, I just have a few more times. As long as you can come, I will be very happy!" Zhu Yinglong hurriedly walked down from his seat and helped him up.

"I thank the emperor for his kindness." Liu Hongxun choked.

"Okay, okay, I suddenly summoned you to me, and I have a heavy responsibility to hand over to you," Zhu Yinglong paused and asked, "Did you mean that I went to Liaodong to negotiate with the Later Jin?"

"I am willing to go through fire and water, and I will never refuse to die!"

"Okay, I ordered you to be the official negotiator and go to Liaodong to negotiate with the Later Jin Dynasty tomorrow." Zhu Yinglong said happily.

"Dare you dare to ask the emperor, does the court have a bottom line?" Liu Hongxun asked.

"This question is good!" Zhu Yinglong praised, and then said, "I only have one bottom line, that is, I must not suffer any losses. You can consider other conditions. In addition, if you go to the cabinet again, several cabinet masters may have to explain some things to you. Your task is not light. Huang Taiji will definitely take the opportunity to raise the price because my domestic rebellion has not been put down, so your attitude cannot be too hard or too soft. I guess Huang Taiji will never dare to fight me again at this time!"

"I remember."

"Also, discuss with Yuan Chonghuan when encountering things. He is very familiar with the affairs of the Later Jin Dynasty and should be of great help to you." Zhu Yinglong remembered and added.

"I will definitely ask General Yuan for advice when encountering problems." Liu Hongxun responded.

"Okay, you go."

"I obey the order!" Liu Hongxun bowed and left the Palace of Yangxin.

After Liu Hongxun left, Xu Yingyuan walked into the Yangxin Hall from outside and said, "I will report to the emperor, the commander of the Great Inner Guards, Zhou Huaian Hall, and ask for a visit!"

"Let him come in!" Zhu Yinglong turned around and walked to the dragon chaise and sat down.

"minister……"

"Speak if you have anything!" Zhu Yinglong was bored and didn't come in. He wanted to say "flat body" and sometimes he had to say it several times. He was so annoying. These bad rules.

"Your Majesty, I have received a secret report. There is an important situation to report to the emperor." Zhou Huaian stood up and bowed.

"explain!"

"It's about Wu Sangui." Zhou Huaian said with a little unnatural expression.

"Wu Sangui, what's wrong with him?" Zhu Yinglong put down the memorial in his hand, looked at Zhou Huaian with a look of disgrace. He immediately understood what was going on, and waved his hand to the eunuchs and palace maids standing in the hall to serve him.

"Your Majesty, the shadow report that Wu Sangui and Huang Taiji had a secret collusion. Please read it!" Zhou Huaian took out a note from his sleeve and walked up to hand it over.

When Zhu Yinglong saw it, his face suddenly became gloomy. It was nothing else. It was the conditions proposed by Wu Sangui to deceive Huang Taiji into trust and surrender. One of them was that after he surrendered, he would confer the amount of land for the Later Jin Dynasty in the future. This article was not mentioned at all in Wu Sangui's memorial for the victory. In addition, in order to induce the Later Jin Dynasty to attack the military camp at night, Wu Sangui once wrote a pledge of loyalty to Huang Taiji, with his own signature on it. This letter of loyalty was later written by Wu.

When Sangui negotiated to change people, he wanted to ask Huang Taiji to come back. How could Huang Taiji return this kind of thing? Later, Xiong Dashui arrived in time. How could Wu Sangui get back the letter of loyalty under Xiong Tingbi's eyes and nose? He could only hide this from Xiong Tingbi, and Xiong Tingbi did not mention this matter in his memorial to Zhu Yinglong. Obviously he didn't know about this matter at all. Could it be that Wu Sangui was afraid that I would find out, and would pursue him or no longer trust him, or he didn't want Xiong Tingbi and himself to know.

"Does Yan Peiwei report?" Zhu Yinglong immediately felt suspicious.

"Brother Yan just mentioned the precedent of surrender, and it seems that he did not mention the so-called letter of loyalty and conditions." Zhou Huaian replied, "It is similar to what Mr. Xiong said."

"Wu Sangui!" Zhu Yinglong punched the imperial case hard. Yan Peiwei didn't know about this, which shows that Wu Sangui really concealed some things from everyone.

"The emperor calmed down. Maybe Wu Sangui was just afraid that the emperor would punish him after he knew about it, so he deliberately concealed something?" Zhou Huaian analyzed, "Maybe this is simply Huang Taiji's plan to alienate him?"

Zhu Yinglong calmed down and said, "You are right. I am too suspicious. As the saying goes, you don't need to doubt people, but you don't doubt people. When he returns to Beijing and asks, if he still intends to hide it or pushes the matter to Huang Taiji's intentional disagreement, don't blame me!"

"Emperor, if nothing is wrong, I will sue you!" Zhou Huaian said with a sad expression. He also admired Wu Sangui's talent very much, but it was really inappropriate that he had concealed such an important matter from the emperor. This is the crime of deceiving the emperor!

"I know about this, you know, and you must not let the third person know!" Zhu Yinglong ordered.

"I understand." Zhou Huaian's heroes were ready to withdraw from the Yangxin Palace.

"Slow down!" Zhu Yinglong snatched Zhou Huaian's footsteps.

"Your Majesty, what else should I do if I have to do?" Zhou Huaian immediately stopped.

"Call Zhou Wenyuan to see me immediately!"

"I obey the order!"

Wu Sangui, Wu Sangui, what do you want me to deal with you? Xiong Tingbi's private letter to Zhu Yinglong mentioned that he accepted Wu Sangui as a disciple. Suddenly, this happened again. Zhu Yinglong would rather not have happened. He would rather Zhou Huaian did not receive this secret report. For Wu Sangui, Zhu Yinglong had only the capricious person who was angry and led Qing soldiers into the pass, became a traitor, and later launched a war against the Qing Dynasty for wealth and power. His deep-rooted understanding has already taken root in him.

In his mind, he tried his best to look at him fairly, and even thought that history had changed, Wu Sangui's fate should be changed, ambition, if Wu Sangui really had ambition, what should he do? Should he kill him when his ambition was still in its infancy, or use him to serve himself first, and then wait for his ambition and hope to get rid of him when it is difficult for him to control. If this is true, which one should he choose? Zhu Yinglong asked himself.
