The extent of the deterioration of the situation in the Great Qing Kingdom far exceeded Fan Wencheng's estimate, although he once reminded Huang Taiji from the side that he must pay attention to the affairs of Liaodong trade, but from the bottom of his heart, Fan Wencheng also thought that Huang Taiji could think of a solution to difficulties, but as time went by, Fan Wencheng found that he was thinking too simply, Huang Taiji is not omnipotent, and he is helpless in the face of some things and difficulties.

The gradual strengthening of the Ming Dynasty made Fan Wencheng feel desperate, Huang Taiji once asked him to obtain sharp artillery from the Ming Dynasty, as well as collect more intelligence, this kind of task that could be easily completed in the past few years has now become impossible, and the grassland tribes that the Qing Dynasty relies on have also been suppressed. The Ordos tribe, which has been subordinated to the Ming Dynasty, has become the real boss of the grassland, and the Horqin tribe is no longer its opponent.

What made Fan Wencheng even more unacceptable was that the Manchu nobles of the Great Qing State unscrupulously bullied the Han people, killed the Han people at will, and the Han people who were poorly clothed and hungry could not survive in the first place, and they had to suffer humiliation and beatings.

In the face of all this, Fan Wencheng was helpless, because he himself was in a spiral nest.

In Fan Wencheng's memory, he has not reported to Huang Taiji alone for about a year, which was unimaginable before, but now it is a fact.

This indicates that Huang Taiji's trust in his Fan Wencheng is gradually weakening, and the deeper meaning of the more terrifying is that Huang Taiji is helpless and even desperate for the future of the Great Qing Kingdom due to the current declining situation of the Great Qing Kingdom.

Huang Taiji's courage and tenacity are second to none in the Great Qing Dynasty, and Huang Taiji's wisdom is also beyond the reach of other Manchu nobles. It's a pity that there was a more powerful emperor in the Ming Dynasty.

The Qing Dynasty's entry into the Central Plains has become a beautiful myth, there is no possibility of realization, Huang Taiji, who has devoted his life to this matter, how can he not despair, seeing the Ming Dynasty becoming more and more powerful and invincible. Seeing that the Great Qing Kingdom is gradually falling into a crisis, and seeing that the Great Qing Kingdom may be exterminated by the Ming Dynasty in the near future, as the emperor of the Great Qing Kingdom, Huang Taiji's inner pain can be imagined.

Huang Taiji's health is not very good, and he is now fifty-five years old, and he has no ambition when he was young, whether it is energy or physical strength, he does not have the majesty he once had.

Because of the gradual weakening of Huang Taiji's trust, Fan Wencheng's life became more and more difficult. You must know that Prince Yu Duoduo has a great opinion of him, it can almost be said that he is incompatible, Duoduo once coveted his wife Fan Wencheng, this is something that everyone knows, and now there are words released, that is, he Fan Wencheng is afraid that he will take the initiative to sacrifice his wife to Duoduo, in order to get the protection of the Manchurian nobles, otherwise he Fan Wencheng will end up very miserable in the future.

Today's Great Qing Kingdom. Han Chinese can never have any real status, even if they sell themselves for glory. Even if you try your best to do things, the final outcome may not be very good, there are not many people who understand among the Manchu nobles, and the hatred of the Manchu people towards the Han people comes out of their bones, including Huang Taiji.

The reason why Huang Taiji treats the Han people well is from the future of the Qing Dynasty. And Huang Taiji does not trust the Han people, Hong Chengchou is the best example, in fact, in terms of ability, Hong Chengchou is more than his Fan Wencheng, which Fan Wencheng himself is also very clear. It's a pity that Huang Taiji is full of vigilance against Hong Chengchou, and the source is the distrust of the Han people in his bones.

Fan Wencheng didn't dare to guarantee that he would also have that day.

When he came to the Dazheng Palace, Fan Wencheng's expression was a little trance, this was not the time for the court meeting.

After receiving Huang Taiji's will, he didn't dare to have any delay, you must know that such a situation has not appeared for more than a year, and it is certain that Huang Taiji's summons this time is private, and there will not be many Manchu nobles in the Great Palace.

Entering the Great Palace, Fan Wencheng saw Huang Taiji sitting on it at a glance.

There is no one else in the Great Palace, Fan Wencheng's prediction is very accurate, it seems that this is Huang Taiji's separate summons, as for what will be discussed, Fan Wencheng also vaguely guessed something, it is nothing more than a matter involving the future of the Great Qing Kingdom.

"Wen Cheng, I haven't met you like this for a long time, today I asked you to come to the Great Palace, there is nothing else, I just want to have a good chat with you."

Fan Wencheng's body trembled slightly, if he had encountered such a thing before, he would be grateful, but this time it felt very strange, as the emperor of the Great Qing Dynasty, Huang Taiji actually wanted to chat, how could such a situation have happened before, and Huang Taiji wanted to chat, he could find Prince Zheng Jierharang.

Perhaps seeing Fan Wencheng's reaction, Huang Taiji's face squeezed out a smile.

"For more than a year, I have ignored your feelings, and I have not been able to prevent the Han people from suffering a lot of injuries, those Manchurian nobles have done too much, presumably the Han people who do things in the court are disappointed in me......

The first time Fan Wencheng heard Huang Taiji say such words, even when Huang Taiji was in a coma before, or when the Eight Banners Army was forced to withdraw from Shanhaiguan, Huang Taiji did not say such words.

Huang Taiji, who has always been brave and unwilling to admit defeat, would actually say such words.

Fan Wencheng could hardly suppress the panic in his heart, he would never think that this was a good thing, you think that a Manchurian emperor and the Han people are in love, that's a joke.

Seeing that Fan Wencheng hadn't spoken, a trace of unhappiness flashed on Huang Taiji's face, but it quickly disappeared, and he changed the topic, since it was a small talk, then he could say anything.

"I have dreamed of the emperor several times, it seems that the emperor is summoning me, and I know that my days are ......numbered."

Before Huang Taiji's words were finished, Fan Wencheng knelt down tremblingly.

"Your Majesty, the slave has selfishness during this time, and when he saw the Han people in the court being humiliated, he thought of himself, thinking that he could get out of the whole body, and the slave was guilty and willing to accept the emperor's punishment."

Huang Taiji did not stand up and help Fan Wencheng as before.

"Wen Cheng, I said it, today is to chat with you, you don't have to be so formal, the past has passed, I have long forgotten it, let's be even, I want to talk to you well."

Fan Wencheng, who stood up, didn't even dare to look up at Huang Taiji.

Huang Taiji seemed to be very satisfied with this situation and continued to speak.

"I must consider who will inherit the throne."

This is no longer idle chat, no emperor will talk about the heir with his subordinates, this can be described as a big thing, poor Fan Wencheng, at this time, he didn't dare to speak at all, he could only listen to what Huang Taiji said.

"My sons, except for Hauge, the rest are very weak, even if they ascend the throne and become emperor, it is impossible to suppress my brothers, I once thought of letting my fourteenth brother Dolgon inherit the throne, but this is not appropriate, Dolgon and Hauge are incompatible, I know very well, if Dolgon inherits the throne, then Hauge will not die well, and I will not be at ease under the nine springs......"

Huang Taiji said the real heartfelt words at this time, since he ascended the throne and became the emperor of the Great Qing Dynasty, then he must consider the heir, when Huang Taiji was in power, he was able to calm all the disputes in the Great Qing Kingdom, including the contradictions between the Manchu nobles, but once he drove the crane immortal, he did not dare to guarantee that there would be infighting between the Manchu nobles.

Huang Taiji had gone through all this, and he was really worried.

These words could not be said in front of Zilharang, let alone in front of other Manchu nobles, and after thinking about it, they could only be said in front of Fan Wencheng.

Huang Taiji still trusts Fan Wencheng, he believes that the words he said, Fan Wencheng will definitely be buried in his stomach and will be taken to the grave.

Fan Wencheng lowered his head, there was no longer the slightest color on his face, these words spoken by Huang Taiji can be said to be the biggest secret of the Great Qing Kingdom, and they were said in front of him, a Han man, no matter from which point of view, it was problematic, involving the succession to the throne, Fan Wencheng would never dare to say nonsense, he was not qualified to comment.

Huang Taiji didn't care if Fan Wencheng opened his mouth at this time, he said the words that had been pent up in his heart for a long time, and his spirit was obviously much better, as for whether Fan Wencheng could bear it, he didn't need to think about it.

"Wen Cheng, I have said so much, you have always kept silent, I don't blame you, I know that you have resentment in your heart, I also have resentment in my heart many times, and there is no place to say, I came to you today and said what has been pent up in my heart for a long time, I feel a lot better."

"After the peace between the Qing Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty, the situation in Liaodong and southern Liaoning is stable, I am very sorry, I did not take advantage of this opportunity to send troops to the grassland, the grassland is not very peaceful now, the Ordos tribe has been subordinated to the Ming court, there is nothing to fear, one day, I will personally lead the army, completely exterminate them......"

"I am going to send my second brother to Liaodong again to discuss the matter of mutual market with the Ming court, and I sent someone to say it clearly, if the emperor of the Ming Dynasty still wants to blockade Liaodong and is unwilling to exchange markets with my Great Qing Kingdom, then don't blame me for not abiding by the matter of peace......"

"Wen Cheng, I hope you can cheer up and help me think about things, my Great Qing Kingdom must move, I really feel uncomfortable after such a long peaceful life, if it continues like this, I am afraid that my Eight Banners Army will not be able to step on horseback......"

Fan Wencheng's heart turned over the river and the sea, the Eight Banners Army is indeed brave, but the Ming Army is even more brave, in this case, if Huang Taiji is ready to send troops, whether it is from Liaodong or Liaonan, there is almost no possibility of victory, and the blind dispatch of troops just let the Ming court know the opportunity.

These predictions, Fan Wencheng no longer dared to speak. (To be continued.) )
