"Mr. Li, the negotiation has not yet begun. You have to let me, the Qing Dynasty, cede the land of Lushun, southern Liaoning. This is a bit... " Ning Wan, I looked embarrassed and couldn't continue to speak.

"There is no discussion on this matter." Li Xiao glanced at him and said coldly: "I'm pretty good, you have to figure it out. Now you are begging my Tang army to negotiate, not my Tang army to ask for peace with you. If the Qing court refuses to agree to this condition, then we don't have to waste time. I am in this sea city, waiting for Dorgon to lead his troops to attack."

Li Xiao's ruthless words made Fan Wen, Cheng Ningwan and me very embarrassed. The two of them subconsciously looked at each other, and both found deep helplessness and helplessness in each other's eyes.

People are the slaughter and I am the slaughter!

The country is weak and powerless, and the messenger is also greatly humiliated!

"Two, for Jiang, it's okay to agree to this matter." Jiang Yueguang, who was standing aside, saw this embarrassing situation and took the opportunity to interrupt: "Two bachelors, forgive the students for saying it directly. This land of Lushun was captured by our Tang army twice a few years ago. Two swords and weapons were bloody, and this land of Lushun is now a city with few people. For the Qing court, it can be said to be a tasteless and useless chicken rib. Such a city that is dilapidated and useless was ceded to our Tang army. What real losses can the Qing court have? If we can win the trust of our army with Lushun City, the two countries can finally reach a peace agreement, eliminate the war, and reconcile the two ministers, and the people of the Qing Dynasty can rest in peace and stability from now on. Wouldn't it be a big profit?"

"But, Lord Li and Jiang Zanhua, even though he said that, this matter was serious and I couldn't make the decision. I could only return to Shengjing first and report to the right regent Dorgon, so that the superiors would make a decision. "Ning Wan lowered his head and spoke weakly.

"Then you go back." Li Xiao had no expression on his face and didn't even look at him: "After going back, he told Dorgon truthfully that I had no patience to argue with him and had no energy to talk nonsense with him. He agreed to let Lushun give us the army, so he would talk. If he didn't agree, he would lead his troops to fight, and there was no need for nonsense at all. Okay, you can go back and see off the guests!"

Li Xiao mercilessly sent the Suike order, Fan Wencheng and Ning Wan and I stood up in dismay, and left helplessly with Jiang Yueguang.

After Fan Wencheng and his group left the Haicheng territory in shame, Ning Wan, I couldn't help but curse: "Li Xiao who is so damn it! What a damn thing? You are just a ruined hunter from Liaodong. Now you are like this, five and six are looking like a dog. You humiliate me and others, and I can't swallow this tone. I will never end up with you!"

"Okay, Shifu, don't scold you anymore. It's true that the country's power is weak and the messenger is humiliated. Why should we complain too much? Let me wait and report to the right Regent, truthfully." Fan Wencheng shook his head and sighed.

Five days later, the group returned to Shengjing and immediately went to Prince Rui's mansion to meet Dorgon.

After listening to Fan Wen and Cheng Ning's report, Dorgon almost turned his nose awkwardly.

"Bang!"

With a loud bang, a fine porcelain tea cup was smashed to pieces on the water-milled blue brick floor.

"His grandma, Li Xiao is too bullying! This guy is really shameless. He has never negotiated, and there is a bastard request. He asked me to ced Lushun to them. He also had to use this as a prerequisite to agree to a peaceful negotiation. This is simply a shame and humiliation! "Dorgon was so angry that his beard was trembling.

"Yes, the Regent, and I also think so. Li Xiao is a man who believes that the Tang army is powerful and can fight. His nostrils are almost tilted to the sky. When we were in Haicheng, we were extremely humiliated and abused, and we did not have the dignity of an envoy at all! According to Nu Cai, he looked down on us on the surface, but in his heart, he completely looked down on you, the Regent. "I would rather observe my face and immediately add fuel to the fire.

Dorgon's face suddenly became more and more distorted and angry. He was like a trapped beast, paced back and forth anxiously in the room.

At this time, Fan Wencheng whispered from the side: "Right Regent, please forgive me and say bluntly. I, the Qing Dynasty, should carefully consider Li Xiao's request, and it is best to agree with it."

"Oh, Xiandou, what you said seems to be completely said by Li Xiao, but why?" A cold light flashed in Dorgon's eyes.

"The Regent, I personally think that national affairs should not be done with voluntarily. Li Xiao made this request, which seemed to be excessive on the surface, but the Regent must not be voluntarily for a moment, so he immediately rejected it. You must know that whether a peace agreement can be reached with the Tang army and whether it can give our Qing Dynasty a chance to develop and recuperate is crucial to the revitalization of our Qing Dynasty! Therefore, I believe that if this is indeed a condition and finally reach a peace agreement with the Tang army, it is acceptable to cut the city of Lushun, which is already ruined and useless to the Tang army. Of course, if the Regent thinks that this is a great rebellion, the Wei Me is willing to accept punishment, and there is no other word."

After Fan Wencheng finished speaking, he immediately leaned down on the ground and knelt down, looking as if he was obedient and punished.

Seeing his false appearance, Dorgon was very disgusted, but he had to pretend to be generous and tolerant on the surface. He took a few steps and reached out to help him, "Why do you have to do this in Xian Dou? I am not a person who cannot accept advice. I will definitely think carefully about your words. You two have worked hard to go back and forth, so let's retreat first."

After Fan Wencheng and Ning Wan and I retreated, Dorgon sat in a tiger-headed chair with a gloomy face that could almost drip water.

Damn, Li Xiao is so cruel and greedy. He can even negotiate with him, which is really shameless. However, this guy spoke so hard and set up prerequisites in such a way, but he seemed to have no way to counter him. It was really a speechless sadness.

Dorgon thought about it for a long time in the room and felt uncomfortable. He was anxious inside and decided to talk about it with Bumubutai. Perhaps, this smart and resourceful woman would give him a good advice.

Moreover, if the empress dowager, she, eventually agreed to this matter, would undoubtedly share a lot of pressure for herself and would better block the mouths of the court officials.

Dorgon stood up and headed for the palace.

He hurried to Yanqing Palace, but was told that Empress Dowager Bumubutai had gone to Yangxin Palace to check on Emperor Shunzhi's studies.

Dorgon immediately rushed to Yangxin Hall. After he arrived at the door, he did not wait for the eunuch to come in to report and immediately entered.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw Bumubutai and the little emperor sitting on a bright yellow brocade satin mat, and the mother and son were studying Manchu calligraphy together.

The afternoon sun was bright and warm, which made Bumubutai's sweet smile even more moving. Her eyes looked at Fulin with love and concern.

Fulin was young and couldn't hold his pen steadily. Bumubutai stepped forward, grabbed his right hand with one hand, and wrote down the large characters in Mandarin with great care.

"My mom, I don't want to learn to write anymore, I want to go riding a horse." The little emperor was annoyed to write and complained in a slight voice.

"Your Majesty, you are the king of a country now. If you want to command thousands of subjects, how can you be afraid of hardship and fatigue, and just do things according to your own preferences?" Bumubutai angrily said: "If you don't write well and learn well, and only think about eating, drinking, having fun, and riding horses and traveling wildly every day, but don't have the ability of the emperor, then in the future, who will be willing to submit to you, and who will be willing to sincerely assist you?"

"Oh, my mother said yes, I know, I will write it carefully." The little emperor nodded vigorously, not understanding.

"Well, the emperor is so sensible, and my mother is so happy." Bumubutai touched his shaved forehead with great love, with a loving look on his face.

Dorgon looked at all this from afar, but his heart felt indescribable sourness. He had a tense face and his eyes were dull, and nothing he was thinking about.

Finally, he coughed gently and reminded the mother and son to arrive. At this time, Bumubutai and the little emperor raised their heads and noticed Dorgon at the door.

Seeing Dorgon was so melancholy that Bumubutai almost guessed by intuition that Dorgon must have encountered something unpleasant and was about to tell him.

Could it be that the negotiations with the Tang army were not going well...

She sighed softly, squeezed out a smile, and said to the little emperor: "Emperor, it's not too early today, so let the eunuch take you to the garden to ride a horse."

Hearing Bumubutai's sudden promise, the little emperor was extremely happy, and immediately threw down the paper and pen, shouted, and ran quickly outside the hall. Two eunuchs hurriedly followed behind.

When running past Dorgon, the little emperor raised his head and looked at the serious and tall uncle with awe. He was originally shouting loudly, like a duck that was strangled by someone, and he suddenly didn't dare to say anything.

Dorgon tried hard to squeeze a gentle smile to the little emperor, but the little emperor who was looking up at him subconsciously shivered.

Dorgon's smile froze immediately.

Fortunately, at this time, the two eunuchs behind rushed up to break the embarrassing scene. They hurriedly saluted Dorgon, then took the little emperor's hand and quickly left the Palace of Yangxin.

At this time, Bumubutai waved his hand gently, and the other eunuchs and palace maids in the Yangxin Palace immediately retreated with tact.

The huge palace of care for the heart became empty in an instant, leaving only the two of them.

"Dorgon, what's wrong? What happened? Why is it so anxious that you can come here to see me?" Bumubutai stepped forward for a few steps and asked softly.

"Oh, the negotiations with Li Xiao were not going well." Dorgon looked worried: "Da Yu'er, you don't know how greedy and hateful Li Xiao is! What did he say? If our army wants to negotiate with him, it must first ceded Lushun to the Tang army before starting peace negotiations, otherwise there will be no negotiations..."

Dorgon's face turned ashen and his voice was very low. He whispered the whole thing to Bumubutai, and finally sighed a long time.

After hearing this, Bumubutai's face turned very serious.

Her eyes as autumn as she looked silently at Dorgon, and gradually, there was an indescribable determination inside.

She knew that this matter was actually unconventional. Li Xiao saw the Qing court's eagerness to negotiate, so he spoke out loudly and threatened to ced Lushun City. He really saw the Qing court's light miracle. It was normal for him to make such a request.

But, is Dorgon really unable to make up his mind when he says this to himself now?

Not so.

In fact, it was him who wanted his so-called queen mother to finally make a decision like a rubber stamp, so that he could share some bad reputation for himself in the future.

The lover I love is as close as I am, but secretly he is so selfish. He uses the plot like this, which makes Bumubutai feel indescribable sadness.

"Da Yu'er, look..."

"No need to say more. I agree to the cedeshun." Bumubutai turned his head and looked at the distant place, but his face was indescribable: "The Qing Dynasty now can no longer withstand any war. If the land of Lushun can be exchanged for the two countries to reach a peace agreement. Then it is still worth it to cedeshun City to the Tang army."

Bumubutai's voice continued: "Right Regent, you will tell the court officials about this matter that this Empress Dowager has decided and has no direct relationship with you. If you leave a bad reputation in history books in the future, it is just that I, the Empress Dowager, have no vision or wisdom, and have no connection with you, the Regent of the Qing Dynasty."

Bumubutai's firm and clear words made Dorgon feel ashamed and even had a fever on his face.

For a moment, he felt like a thorn in his throat, not knowing how to express his emotions, so he could only slowly reach out, take her into his arms, and slowly hold her tightly in his arms.

The woman's crystal clear and cold tears fell from her beautiful face.

Bumubutai, who had just been determined and decisive, became a soft and pitiful little woman again. She sobbed, buried her head in his broad shoulders, and sobbed.

"Da Yu'er, I, the regent of the Qing Dynasty, are incompetent, I really feel wronged..." Dorgon's eyes also flashed with tears, I don't know whether it is true or false.

Bumubutai cried even more and more and more, and Chuchu's shoulders shook.

"Da Yu'er, don't worry, if you negotiate with the Tang army, the Regent will do his best to do your best. It will definitely make your mother and son's position stable as Mount Tai." Dorgon's voice was quite choked, I wonder if it was touching the true feelings.

With the Queen Mother's words, Fan Wencheng and Ning Wan, who were the negotiating envoys, suddenly became very confident.

After returning to Haicheng, the two of them immediately reported to Li Xiao that the Qing court was willing to hand over the delivery of Lushun City, in exchange for the two armies to hold smooth negotiations.
