When Lin Xuji heard this, his eyes immediately widened, and he waved his hand again and again, "How can this be done?" Raise the enemy's grain and grass, don't say let the court pass, just bringing up this matter is enough for me to lose my head! ”

"Even the prisoners have a bowl of prison food to eat." Huang Xiyin said, "If my army runs out of food, it will be difficult for the general to restrain it." At that time, tens of thousands of horses and horses will be grabbing food everywhere, how can this be negotiated and peaceful? ”

"If the general...... After Bolo got grain and grass, he rebelled, and he invaded Tianxing Mansion with his army, didn't I cocoon myself? ”

Huang Xiyin smiled: "Lord Lin doesn't need to worry too much. I will only be fed five days every five days. If he sees any difference in the army, he shall immediately cut off his food, and it shall be the same, and shall continue for another five days. In this way, our army has less than half a decade of food, even if there are other ideas, what can we do? ”

Lin Xiangji lowered his head and thought carefully, if the Fujian captives were in chaos due to lack of food, and were finally broken by each other, maybe their share of the table would be captured by the Ming army, and now it is the best policy to send these "plague gods" away safely.

If there were only a few days of food and grass, Bolo would not be able to come up with any tricks, so he weighed it for a long time, and finally nodded and said: "Every four days, send three days of food." ”

Huang Xiyin sighed and said, "According to what you said, it is enough to keep the army from mutiny." ”

In the end, he told Lin Yuji that Boluo's envoy would come to Tianxing Mansion at dawn tomorrow, and asked him to take this person to see the Empress Dowager Zeng.

……

"No one in the Manchu Dynasty agreed?" Empress Dowager Zeng sat on the chair, leaned forward and stared at Pang Tianshou and asked.

"Back to the Queen Mother, the courtiers are all righteous and righteous, and they swear not to agree with the peace talks." Pang Tianshou lowered his eyes and said, "That Yan Yang was almost beaten by a few Qingliu, but fortunately, His Royal Highness the Tang King stopped him, so there was no chaos." ”

Empress Dowager Zeng leaned back in her chair gloomily, her face full of sorrow.

Yesterday, Lin Xiangji, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, brought someone to see her and asked her to retreat, only to tell her that it was Boluo's secret envoy, named Jing Gule, who had come to ask for peace talks.

Just when she was about to be furious and angrily reprimanded Lin Xuji, Najing Gule told her that General Boluo sincerely negotiated peace, and if the Ming court agreed, he could be released to Emperor Hongguang and King Lu to show his sincerity.

She was immediately taken aback, how could she not know what Hongguang and King Lu meant to the little emperor. The day either of them returned to Fukyo was when her son abdicated! Fortunately, Lin Xuji brought Bolo's secret envoy to himself, and if this person appeared directly in the court, the ministers would probably accept the peace in exchange for Hongguang and King Lu.

Lin Xuji said that he knew that this was powerful, so he did not let Jing Gule directly propose the matter of peace talks to the imperial court, but first brought him to meet the Queen Mother secretly, and the Queen Mother decided.

She first instructed Pang Tianshou to send Jing Gule to "rest", not to let him see others, and praised Lin for being thoughtful and thoughtful, and this matter was done properly, and asked him how to deal with it at this time, whether he should get rid of this secret envoy.

Lin Xuji said that peace may be negotiable, Emperor Hongguang and King Lu are in the hands of captives, and they have always been a hidden danger in the imperial court, so it is better to use the opportunity of Boluo to seek peace this time to eliminate this hidden danger.

She saw that Lin Xuji called Hongguang and King Lu hidden dangers, so she knew that he was on her side, and hurriedly asked how to use it.

Lin Xiangji immediately offered a plan, saying that he only needed to find an excuse to let the Manchurians not want to publicize the return of Emperor Hongguang and King Lu, but to send the two to the place designated by the Queen Mother, and the rest of the matter could be done according to the Queen Mother's wishes.

Empress Dowager Zeng knew that if she didn't mention returning Hongguang and King Lu, it would be very difficult for the courtiers to agree to negotiate peace with the Manchurians, so she let Yan Yang leak a little bit in the court to test the meaning of the ministers.

Unexpectedly, Pang Tianshou came back from Fengtian Hall and said that Yan Yang, who had made peace with Jianyu, was almost beaten.

Pang Tianshou saw that the Queen Mother was quite dignified, hesitated for a moment, and then arched his hand: "His Royal Highness King Chen killed more than 7,000 people on the front line of Xianxia Pass and Pucheng before him, and not long ago, he annihilated more than 7,000 Shi Fu troops under Jian'an City.

After several confrontations, the officials of the DPRK and China all thought that the Bolo army was really vulnerable. At present, Jian'an is also besieged by King Chen, and the food and grass of the captive army will be extinct, and it can be broken overnight. Therefore, no one will agree to the negotiation of peace at this time. ”

Before Pang Tianshou finished speaking, a eunuch suddenly came and said that Lin Ling, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, wanted to see him.

When Empress Dowager Zeng was in a dilemma, she hurriedly ordered: "Let him come in quickly." ”

To say that Lin Xuji did not expect that the DPRK and China would react so violently to the peace talks, and if he couldn't send Bolo away, his net worth and life would be lost, and he would have a headache at the moment.

When he had reached the noon gate, he heard a minister talking loudly about the things that had just been on the way.

"Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, when have there been peace talks?"

"Hehe, if you want to say it, it's a bit of a mistake."

"Oh, I don't know, and I ask Master Li for advice."

"Lord Zhang forgot the peace negotiation that Shen Weijing engaged in during the Battle of Korea during the Wanli period?"

"It turned out that time, Master Li laughed, haha."

"It's a joke. The captives and thieves are about to be destroyed, and some people talk about peace, which is really the same as Shen Weijing. ”

The speaker had no intention of listening, and the two left, but Lin Yuji fell into deep thought.

Shen Weijing is very clear about the matter, during the Wanli period, the Ming Dynasty responded to North Korea's request for help and sent troops to help North Korea resist the Japanese invasion.

When the Wa Kingdom was exhausted from fighting, and the Ming Dynasty was unwilling to continue to waste military salaries in Korea, a businessman named Shen Weijing appeared. He used the method of two-headed deception, and actually promoted the "peace talks" between the Ming Dynasty and the Japanese State. He made Wanli think that the Japanese people had surrendered, and let the king of the Japanese kingdom, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, think that the Ming Dynasty had compromised. Had it not been for some accidents, this ridiculous peace talks would have almost ended successfully.

"Begging?" Lin Xuji's eyes suddenly lit up, and he immediately went to Ciqing Palace.

After seeing the ceremony, without waiting for the Empress Dowager Zeng to ask, he immediately said: "The Empress Dowager Qi, if the matter of peace is to be passed in the court, the name of the matter must be changed." When it is not appropriate to call it peace talks, but to call it a slave begging to surrender. In this way, there will be no more criticism. ”

"Begging?" Empress Dowager Zeng frowned and said, "How can this be believed?" ”

"It's not hard." Lin Xiangji had already thought about it on the way here, and immediately continued, "At present, there is a drought in southern Fujian, and many people are dying of hunger. It can make people randomly collect the corpses of some hungry people, pretending to be the head of a thief, and it is said that it is a great victory and killing tens of thousands of enemies, and the remaining captives are overwhelmed and begging for life.

"At that time, the Queen Mother only needs to send her ministers to 'surrender', and in fact, she will discuss with Dolgon about returning Emperor Hongguang and King Lu, which should be all right."

Empress Dowager Zeng nodded slightly, it seems that there is only this way at the moment. For the sake of her son's throne, and more importantly, for her son's life, she could only accept Lin Xuji's suggestion.

She asked again, "If there is a peace talk, Dorgon will definitely ask Bolo to leave, how will Lord Lin respond?" ”

"Just change King Chen's guard elsewhere, and transfer the Empress Dowager's people to control Xianxia Pass. Let the Qing army pretend to be refugees, go to Xianxia Pass in batches, and send our army out of the pass one by one. ”
