Liu Rushi on the side looked at the angry Qian Yiqian and quickly came over to comfort him.
"Sir, His Royal Highness is having a hard time now! He has occupied the Shandong Mansion and has too many things to do. He also has to cultivate the land and train troops. The intruders are currently strong, so we have temporarily suspended the war..."
"nonsense!"
Qian Yiqian said angrily to Liu Rushi in front of him.
"A truce? Digging someone's ancestral grave is like killing your parents! What do you call negotiating with someone who killed your parents? It's called treason!"
"master……"
Hearing Qian Yiqian's words, Liu Rushi in front of him suddenly turned pale with shock and quickly said to Qian Yiqian in front of him: "Master, be careful what you say!"
"Huh! Why don't people talk about the things he did on his own??"
Qian Yiqian said with a sneer in his eyes towards Liu Rushi in front of him.
"This kind of thing! It's such a shame! I didn't expect that someone actually dared to negotiate with the intruder!"
As he spoke, Qian Yiqian's eyes flashed with light.
"Have someone prepare the sedan chair, I want to go out!"
"Yes, sir!"
Liu Rushi on the side looked at Qian Yiqian in front of him with a hint of worry in his eyes.
She could probably guess what her master was going to do, and her heart was filled with worry.
Qian Yiqian hurried out.
At this time, in the Forbidden City in Nanjing.
Emperor Chongzhen's expression changed for a while. Looking at the news in front of him, there was a trace of hesitation in his eyes, and he wanted to say something.
But Emperor Chongzhen finally let out a long sigh, with a wry smile on his face.
He didn't know what to say about his prince.
Because the prince made it very clear that the current situation is really just mutual use. In order to prevent foreign races from entering the customs, this kind of cooperation is unavoidable.
Otherwise, Wu Sangui would not be able to gain a foothold in Shanhaiguan. Faced with the attack from the Qing Dynasty and Li Zicheng, he would either choose to join one side or sail down the river with hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians.
When you come to Shandong or Jiangnan, in that case, Shanhaiguan falls into the hands of the Qing Dynasty or Li Zicheng, but no matter who falls into the hands, it will be very fatal to the Ming Dynasty!
Looking at the letter Zhu Cixi wrote to him, Chongzhen showed a look of helplessness on his face.
When he first heard the news, he really wanted to refute Zhu Cihong. After all, Li Zicheng, the rebel leader, not only occupied the capital, but also excavated the ancestral graves of the Ming Dynasty when he was in Fengyang Mansion!
This kind of thing is absolutely intolerable.
But what the prince said is also very reasonable.
Thinking of this, Chongzhen smiled bitterly for a while.
"Let His Highness the Crown Prince make his own decision!"
Chongzhen said helplessly to the eunuch who came to the side to report.
"Yes! Your Majesty!"
After saying that, the eunuch bowed and was about to leave, when Chongzhen suddenly stopped him.
"Wait a moment!"
"Your Majesty, do you have any other instructions?"
The eunuch asked respectfully towards Chongzhen in front of him.
"Tell the prince that this kind of negotiation is possible, but Li Zicheng must not be recruited! This person must die no matter what! There is no reason to argue!"
"Yes! Your Majesty!"
The eunuch quickly said to Chongzhen in front of him.
"Go for it!"
After saying that, the eunuch respectfully and slowly retreated from the hall.
Looking at the back of the eunuch in front of him, a trace of emotion flashed in Chongzhen's eyes.
In fact, he wanted to say something else, but there seemed to be nothing to say. His son's maturity far exceeded his expectations.
The comprehensiveness of his view of the problem is not inferior to his own
Although he didn't want to admit it, Emperor Chongzhen still had to admit that the prince's ability might have surpassed his own. He should know it well!
Chongzhen said silently in his heart.
Sighing, Emperor Chongzhen looked at the votes that the cabinet had just brought over and began to answer them one by one.
And on the other side.
After Qian Yiqian left the mansion, he quickly found a group of people.
A gathering began at a salt merchant.
"Qian Yiqian, why did you come to us for something?"
Xiong Mingyu frowned slightly, looked at Qian Yiqian in front of him and said.
The other Donglin Party members around also looked at Qian Yiqian in front of them with traces of doubt in their eyes.
Qian Yiqian had a look of anger on his face. He looked at the Donglin Party members around him and said, "Everyone! I got news that His Royal Highness is in Shandong, negotiating with the intruders!"
Upon hearing Qian Yiqian's words, the expressions of the surrounding Donglin Party members suddenly changed.
"Qian Yiqian, is your news true??"
Li Banghua's face sank slightly and he looked at Qian Yiqian in front of him and asked.
"Of course it's true! I have a disciple who is an official in Qingzhou Mansion! He was the one who sent me the news about this!"
Upon hearing Qian Yiqian's words, the entire audience was in an uproar.
"What is the negotiation about?"
Shi Kefa on the side remained calm, he looked at Qian Yiqian in front of him and asked.
"Yes! Mr. Qian, what is the content of the negotiation??"
Qian Yiqian pondered for a moment.
"It's probably about the Shanhaiguan matter and Wu Sangui's ownership issue!"
Hearing Qian Yiqian's words, everyone around him was in an uproar.
"Wu Sangui is our last force in Liaodong, how could he betray it??"
"What does His Highness the Crown Prince want to do?? Does he want to betray the country??"
When everyone around him was in an uproar, Li Banghua still remained calm. He looked at Qian Yiqian in front of him in a cold voice and said: "Mr. Qian, it's better to speak clearly. Attacking His Royal Highness is a capital offense!"
Hearing Li Banghua's words, Qian Yiqian's heart skipped a beat.
He regretted inviting Li Banghua here. This big boss was one of Donglin's generals, and he was now in a high position, ranking among the elders!
But his mind just changed for a while, and he pondered for a moment, looking at Li Banghua in front of him and the people in front of him.
"It's not about betraying the country, it's just about negotiating terms. Should Wu Sangui continue to guard Shanhaiguan, or should Wu Sangui abandon Shanhaiguan and abandon the defense..."
Qian Yiqian said these words reluctantly.
Originally, he wanted everyone to attack the crown prince at first, because he didn't have a good impression of the crown prince at all, which was the case last time.
"But these are not the key! The intruders dug up the ancestral graves in Fengyang Mansion! The prince actually dared to negotiate with the intruders! This is extremely unfilial!"
When Qian Yiqian said this, many Donglin Party members had basically calmed down at this time.
Only a few people who were still a little confused began to follow Qian Yiqian and started talking.
"His Royal Highness, this action is really against filial piety!"
"Indeed! A thief can be killed! How can we negotiate??"
