Huang Taiji looked at Fan Wencheng for a while.

"Wen Cheng, I want to hear your opinion. I have an idea. Can this matter be suppressed for the time being? Don't mention it. This letter from the Ming Dynasty came from Fort Anning. I can Do not admit it."

"Your Majesty, this servant thinks that this is absolutely impossible. Since the Ming Dynasty has made preparations, it will definitely think of other ways. Through Liaodong, the news can also be spread. At that time, the Emperor will not be able to explain it."

Huang Taiji's face is very ugly. Concealing the news is actually a way to avoid it. There is no way to do it. It is definitely not a long-term solution, but the purpose of this letter from the Ming Dynasty is to destroy the foundation of the Qing Dynasty. .

"Wen Cheng, I also know that this can't be done, but I can't choose. Dai Shan is my second brother. Why don't I want to redeem my second brother, but the exchange with Monk Geng Zhongming is gratifying. Isn't this going to destroy my Qing Dynasty? Once the Han people in our Qing Dynasty have different ideas, I still know how to maintain the country and what the Manchus can do."

When Huang Taiji said these words, Fan Wencheng believed them. After so many years, Fan Wencheng knew very well that Huang Taiji's views and viewpoints had long been different from those of the Manchu nobles. When he did anything, he always thought of the Qing Dynasty. In the future, all he thinks about is the prosperity of the Qing Dynasty, even if it is to suppress the power of the Manchu nobles.It is not easy to achieve this, if Huang Taiji had not adopted a soft policy, treated the Han people kindly, and united all ethnic groups.It is impossible for the Qing Dynasty to have the current situation.Of course, the change of Huang Taiji will also take time, and it is impossible to achieve the goal in a short time. In any case, the Qing Dynasty is located in a remote place, and the vast majority of Han people will not take the initiative to seek refuge in the Qing Dynasty.

Fan Wencheng didn't speak immediately, he knew that Huang Taiji hadn't finished speaking yet.

Sure enough, Huang Taiji spoke quickly. [

"Wen Cheng. I can't make a choice. If it's an exchange, what will I think of so many Han people in the Qing Dynasty, especially the nearly [-] Han army? Will they flee or even rebel, because a Manchu, I I can't make such a decision, and I can't make such a decision."

Fan Wencheng sighed secretly, the meaning of Huang Taiji's words was actually to consider agreeing to an exchange, that is, to find the best way out for the exchange, and what kind of exchange would not cause turmoil in the Qing Dynasty.At least to reduce this kind of turmoil to the minimum, in Huang Taiji's heart, the status of Daishan is more important after all.

It was normal for Huang Taiji to have such thoughts, Fan Wencheng would not find it strange that family members and outsiders were different no matter what, even in the eyes of the emperor.

"Wen Cheng, I want to hear what your opinion is. I want to hear your real thoughts. Say whatever comes to your mind. Don't worry about it."

At this time, Fan Wencheng was about to speak, and he wanted to speak in as much detail as possible, so as to help Huang Taiji make a decision.

"Your Majesty, this servant has already thought about this matter, and my suggestion is to agree to an exchange."

Huang Taiji nodded, Fan Wencheng said such an opinion, there is nothing special about it, no matter who it is, it is likely that it will be said, after all, it is in the Qing Dynasty, if anyone dares to say no exchange of opinions, I am afraid that those The Manchu nobles were torn to pieces.

"The servant is clear that this is a strategy of the Ming Dynasty. To put it more directly, it is a strategy of Su Tiancheng. Those pedantic civil and military ministers in the Ming Dynasty would not propose such a strategy. The servant also feels that Su Tiancheng is terrible. In order to achieve his goal, he will do whatever it takes, and this time Su Tiancheng has hit a sore spot in my Great Qing Kingdom."

"Agree to exchange and disagree to exchange, between the two opinions, the conflict caused by agreeing to exchange is smaller, and we can think of a way to deal with it for the time being. If you do not agree to exchange, I am afraid that trouble will soon arise."

"The emperor thought of the dissatisfaction of many Han people and the Han army. The slaves are Han people. It would be uncomfortable to hear the emperor make such a decision suddenly, let alone the many Han people and the Han army. But the Han people and the Han army can be stable. Wait, the emperor will take many measures in the future to stabilize them, especially the Han army. Even if these Han troops want to go back to the Ming Dynasty, the possibility is not great. The Jiangning Battalion of the Ming Dynasty is so brave. We will pay special attention to these Han troops."

"If the emperor doesn't agree to the exchange, I'm afraid many princes and ministers will start a quarrel immediately. This is the most dangerous thing. Manning the Eight Banners is the reliance of our Qing Dynasty, and there can be no slightest turmoil. The servant feels that if Prince Li can Back in the Qing Dynasty, Zhenghongqi can be formed again."

Huang Taiji stood up slowly and looked at Fan Wencheng.

"Wen Cheng, your analysis is very reasonable, but I haven't figured out what to do to stabilize the minds of many Han soldiers and the hearts of Han people."

Fan Wencheng did not hesitate, and immediately spoke.

"The servant thought that the emperor should not have such deliberate thoughts. The emperor has done a lot, win over the Han people, improve the status of the Han people, and suppress the power of the Manchus. All the things the emperor did were for the future of the Qing Dynasty. The effect is very obvious, and the slaves believe that the Han people and the Han army in the Qing Dynasty are clear about the emperor's mind." [

"The slave is bold. If the emperor wants to stabilize the Han people and the Han army, the best way is to take control of the Central Plains and overthrow the Ming Dynasty. Only when that goal is achieved can the Han people be completely subdued."

Huang Taiji quickly understood what Fan Wencheng meant, and the maid doted on the prince every night.

"Wen Cheng, what do you mean, I still want to use high-handed means to command the Han people and the Han army?"

"Slave doesn't mean exactly that. The emperor can adopt a two-pronged strategy. On the one hand, he can stabilize the hearts of the Han people and the Han army, and on the other hand, he can influence Monk Geng Zhongming, so that they can voluntarily come forward to exchange. The emperor doesn't have to make a decision right away. , the servant is willing to do the work later, let Geng Zhongming and Shang Kexi take the initiative to exchange it voluntarily."

Huang Taiji was stunned for a moment, he really hadn't thought of such a way.

"The servant also thought that the emperor can disagree with Geng Zhongming and Shang Kexi's request, that is, starting from the stability of the Qing Dynasty, the servant believes that as long as the emperor can grasp it well, this is an opportunity to unite people's hearts and show that the emperor is eager to seek talents. mind."

A smile appeared on Huang Taiji's face, he understood what Fan Wencheng meant.

"Wencheng, I'll leave this matter to you to handle. If you have the result, report it to me as soon as possible. I can wait for your news for a few days."

"The slave will definitely work hard to live up to the emperor's expectations."

Watching Fan Wencheng walk out of the Chongzheng Hall, the expression on Huang Taiji's face was somewhat meaningful. Fan Wencheng is indeed a talent. Seeing how to solve the problem, under Fan Wencheng's planning, he thought of a good way, and adopted this method The method can be done at a small price. As for what Fan Wencheng will do in the future, Huang Taiji also understands, but at this time, Huang Taiji also acquiesced to Fan Wencheng's operation.

When Geng Zhongming and Shang Kexi entered Fan Wencheng's mansion, they were trembling. Of course they knew about the rumors that appeared in Shenyang. They never thought that the Ming Dynasty was going to use them in exchange for gifts and princes. If such a thing is true, their The fate is tragic.

Since ancient times, traitors cannot end well. When the Jin surrendered, Monk Geng Zhongming Kexi knew this very well. In the eyes of the Ming Dynasty, the Houjin Tartars were alien races. Han people who went to seek refuge with foreign races were tantamount to betraying their ancestors. , It is tantamount to severing oneself from the family, not to mention that the soul returns to the hometown, even after death, it cannot be entered into the ancestral hall.

Geng Zhongming monk Kexi also made such preparations. In case of such a situation, they would rather commit suicide than be captured by the Ming Dynasty. Kong Youde was captured by the Ming Dynasty. As a result, he was executed by Ling Chi, even if he died, he would suffer all kinds of crimes .

Fan Wencheng invited them to the mansion, and the two of them naturally came here very quickly. In the current Qing Dynasty, Fan Wencheng seemed to be the leader among the Han people, and they were able to speak in front of Huang Taiji. The two knew very well that Fan Wencheng found They must have a big deal, and it is very likely that the exchange is involved.

Fan Wencheng directly brought the two of them into the study, and said frankly that the letter from the Ming Dynasty was already in Huang Taiji's hands, and the request he made was to exchange the gift with the prince on behalf of the good.Monk Geng Zhongming and Shang Kexi, their faces were ashen, trembling all over, unable to speak for a long time, finally Shang Kexi spoke first, saying that this is fate and it is impossible to violate it.

Geng Zhongming has never stated his position. Speaking of the situation of the two people is different, it is gratifying because the family members were captured by the Houjin Tartars and forced to surrender to the Houjin Tartars. Geng Zhongming and Kong Youde took the initiative to seek refuge.

Seeing that Geng Zhongming did not make a statement, Fan Wencheng was not in a hurry, and said something slowly, the general meaning, it is better to agree to such a thing, so that the family can still enjoy themselves in Shenyang, Huang Taiji will not forget, of course What Huang Taiji meant was that he did not agree to the exchange, but he thought about it for them. If he did not exchange, Geng Zhongming and Shang Kexi had no legal foothold in the Qing Dynasty. Bullying, family members will not live in peace, and in the end, the ending may be even more tragic.

What Fan Wencheng said was the truth, both Geng Zhongming and Shang Kexi understood that at this moment, they had no choice but to follow what Fan Wencheng said.

Fan Wencheng finally agreed to the two. If Huang Taiji had no choice but to agree to the exchange, the two could choose to commit suicide to avoid being humiliated by the Ming Dynasty.Of course, Fan Wencheng may have made some promises, including that the Qing Dynasty treated the two of them kindly, etc., but the two must follow what Fan Wencheng said.
