As soon as he arrived in the capital of the Ming Dynasty, he found that the situation was not right, although it was impossible for him to grasp the internal situation of the Ming Dynasty, but with his superhuman perception ability, he was able to experience extraordinary emotions.

Jierharang came to the capital of Daming this time, and the situation was different from the last time, he was shouldering a heavy responsibility, and the related situation, Huang Taiji also gave him the bottom, seeing that the body was extremely weak Huang Taiji, holding on to the body to worry about the affairs of the Qing Dynasty, Jierharang's heart was also uncomfortable, especially he was responsible for garrisoning Liaodong, but suffered a fiasco, although he was stationed in Guangning, kept the main army, but the army stationed in Xiping Fort was wiped out, in the face of such a situation, Zilharang has a deep sense of self-blame.

When the Great Qing Kingdom encountered a predicament, it was necessary to come to the capital of the Ming Dynasty to negotiate, which required something to be paid, as the last time, it would definitely not work, but Zilharang also needed to strive for the greatest interests of the Great Qing State, so that the real strength of the Great Qing State would not be damaged.

Therefore, it is his main responsibility to grasp the movements of the Ming court, and the main task in this regard is to be completed by Jia Jihan, the servant of the ministry, Jia Jihan has had contact with Zhou Yanru of the Ming cabinet, and has a good relationship with Zhou Yanru's housekeeper Zhou Kang.

Finding that the atmosphere was a little wrong, Jilharang quickly sent Jia Jihan to visit Zhou Kang.

Jilharang thought that the difficulty of this task was very great, because Jia Jihan was also a member of the mission, his identity was revealed, and it was different from the previous situation, and he wanted to see Zhou Kang, but it was just a test. Unexpectedly, Jia Jihan actually completed this task, saw Zhou Kang, and sent five hundred taels of gold away.

The information brought back by Jia Jihan made Zilharang happy, it turned out that Zhou Yanru served as the first assistant of the cabinet of the Ming Dynasty, and this information was too important. You must know that Zhou Yanru supported the peace talks, and it was Jia Jihan who came to the capital of the Ming Dynasty in disguise and met Zhou Yanru, so this time the peace talks could be carried out, since Zhou Yanru served as the first assistant of the cabinet, doesn't it mean that the Ming court also values this peace talks, and it must be that Emperor Chongzhen thinks that Zhou Yanru has made meritorious contributions, so he will be promoted. As for the former cabinet assistant Yang Sichang, it is estimated that he did not agree to the peace talks, so he was replaced.

Ji'er Harang is very clear about Huang Taiji's entrustment, don't look at the Ming Dynasty gradually becoming stronger, in fact, there are many contradictions inside, not to mention other contradictions, could it be that Emperor Chongzhen would tolerate Su Tiancheng, who has so much power, if this contradiction breaks out. It is the best opportunity for the Great Qing Kingdom, and Huang Taiji also sees this. It will be when the Great Qing Kingdom suffered a heavy blow that he resolutely proposed to negotiate peace again, and it seems that Huang Taiji's prediction is very accurate.

Zilharang had a lot of confidence, and this time he came to the capital of Daming, he carried a large amount of gold and silver treasures, and followed him to the capital of Daming. There are also Concubine Zhuang and Prince Fulin, this Concubine Zhuang is a talent, she can speak well, and after learning about the decision made by Huang Taiji, she did not hesitate at all. decided to follow to the capital of the Ming Dynasty, in fact, as a hostage, to buy time for the Qing Kingdom to relax.

The Great Qing Kingdom is doing its best to complete this negotiation and gain time, and the struggle within the Ming Dynasty has also appeared, so in this case, it is easy to complete the task assigned by Huang Taiji.

Analyzing the pros and cons of Jierharang, of course, he will not miss the opportunity, he wrote to the Chongzhen Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, his words were extremely humble, and he regarded himself as a minister, and begged the Ming court to grant permission for the negotiations to be carried out as soon as possible.

Zhou Yanru's main energy is also in negotiations.

became the first assistant of the cabinet, Zhou Yanru knew that he had to do one or two decent things to bring down Su Tiancheng, it was too difficult, at present, it was basically impossible to complete, but the negotiation with the Houjin Tatars was not too difficult, he considered that on the basis of the willingness of the Houjin Tatars to surrender, let the Houjin Tatars make more concessions, so that the emperor could be satisfied, and many colleagues in the court would be satisfied.

Jia Jihan visited Zhou Kang, which was agreed by Zhou Yanru, otherwise it would be impossible for Zhou Kang, who was busy and dizzy, to meet Jia Jihan, in fact, Zhou Yanru also wanted to find out the true meaning of the Houjin Tartar Mission through Zhou Kang.

Zhou Yanru is actually contradictory, the strength of the Houjin Tartars has suffered a heavy blow, in this case, continuing to attack is the best choice, but the task of exterminating the Houjin Tartars, I am afraid that only Su Tiancheng and Jiangning Battalion can complete it, the emperor's taboo on Su Tiancheng, even more than the Houjin Tartars, in this case, relying on the Liaodong Border Army and the Datong Border Army, and even the southern army, it is almost impossible to exterminate the Houjin Tartars, but may fall into a bitter battle.

After analyzing the situation in several aspects, Zhou Yanru believes that the most important thing is to grasp the details of the Houjin Tartar and make every effort to deal with this negotiation.

After returning to the mansion, Zhou Yanru refused to visit many officials under the pretext of being unwell.

When Zhou Kang entered the study, Zhou Yanru was closing his eyes and pondering.

"Master, the little one met with Jia Jihan today."

Zhou Yanru didn't open his eyes and nodded slightly.

"Jia Jihan gave the villain five hundred taels of gold, and the little one did not refuse."

Zhou Yanru opened his eyes and a smile appeared on his face.

"It seems that Houjin Tartar can't wait, thinking about negotiating as soon as possible, that Ji'er Harang has already written to the emperor, and I implore you to start negotiations as soon as possible, and I also said that Concubine Zhuang and Fulin also came to the capital, it's a joke, Huang Taiji is ready to remove the emperor's name, and what concubines are there."

Having mastered the situation in this regard, Zhou Yanru also said that he was happy, the more anxious the Houjin Tartar was, the more he was not in a hurry, that is, he had to sharpen the spirit of the Houjin Tartar, so that he could win more benefits for the imperial court.

Strictly speaking, this time it is not a negotiation, but the surrender of the Houjin Tartars to the Ming Dynasty, and all matters must be arranged by the imperial court, and the Houjin Tartars are not qualified to put forward any conditions.

Zhou Yanru is facing many other things, not only negotiation matters, including the adjustment of the ministers of the DPRK and China, including the adjustment of some local governors, and so on, as well as how to properly coordinate the contradictions among the cabinet ministers, and so on.

The emperor arranged for Liu Zunxian to enter the cabinet, Zhou Yanru understood very well, Liu Zunxian used to be Wen Tiren's person, and the contradictions between himself and Wen Tiren were clear to the civil and military ministers in the court, such an arrangement can only show that the emperor wants to completely control the cabinet, thoroughly maintain the imperial power, and make it impossible for the cabinet to be monolithic.

How to deal with these things, the focus is still on the appointment of officials, Zhou Yanru will not find a way to unite Liu Zunxian, that will arouse the suspicion of the emperor, the gains outweigh the losses, and Liu Zunxian has become a cabinet minister, obviously in the cabinet to be the opposition. What Zhou Yanru needs to do is to unite a huge part of the cabinet and encourage Liu Zunxian, so that the goal can be achieved, and the emperor can't say anything.

Qian Qianyi has already begun to propose the appointment of officials, thinking about arranging some Donglin students to enter the imperial court, Zhou Yanru has already expressed his position, this aspect can be considered, so Qian Qianyi's attitude has changed significantly, and Zhou Yanru needs to discuss with Chen Xinjia more in the next step, and the two can unify their understanding, and the cabinet can play a major role.

It was precisely because of these considerations that Zhou Yanru did not want to start negotiations with Houjin Tatar as soon as possible.

Today in the Yangxin Palace, after the emperor read Zilharang's letter, he specially interrogated about the negotiation, Zhou Yanru's answer was very decent, thinking that in this matter, the court does not need to be in a hurry, it needs to be brought out, and the Houjin Tartar is here to submit to the court, which is not a negotiation, since you want to submit to the court, everything must be in accordance with the rules of the court.

The emperor nodded again and again, very happy.

"Zhou Kang, Jia Jihan said nothing."

"Jia Jihan expressed his respect and admiration for the master, saying that he wanted to be able to see the master again, and the small one replied to Jia Jihan, the master has a lot of things, and there is no time to see Jia Jihan, Jia Jihan also said, this time Huang Taiji is sincerely thinking about surrendering to the Ming court, Concubine Zhuang and Fulin are in the mission, if the court does not object, the two can directly become hostages and hand them over to the court."

"Hehe, Houjin Tartar really can't wait, I'm afraid it's thinking that the imperial court will temporarily stop attacking Houjin Tartar, now the army is stationed in Guangning and Xiping Fort, and it may threaten Shenyang at any time, Houjin Tartar can't sit still, they think, what Concubine Zhuang and Fulin came to the capital, can they settle everything, it's not that simple, by the way, if Jia Jihan asks to see him again, you can still see him, just say that the court is considering this matter, don't say anything else."

"Master, the little one understands, it's just how to dispose of this gold."

"Even if you accept it, what is this bit of gold, Jia Jihan thinks that you can do a good job in this negotiation with gold and silver, and you are too underestimate my court, the gold is sealed, and when I go to the court tomorrow, I will bring it into the Palace of Nourishing Hearts."

Zhou Kang left the study, Zhou Yanru still had a smile on his face, closed his eyes again, and began to think about the problem, he had just taken office, he had too many questions to think about, how to learn the lessons of the past and grasp the greatest power, this is the first thing his group should think about.
