On the fifth day of the 10th day of the second year of Shenwu in the Ming Dynasty, Tong Tuchang, who had left Nanjing for more than half a year, finally completed the peace talks and returned to Nanjing.

Tong Tuchang left Beijing in September and followed the Qing Dynasty generals who received prisoners of war to the south and rushed to Yangzhou first.

The general who accepted prisoners of war was Dorgon's mortal enemy Jirgalang, who had been deposed as the prince of Doro. But I don't know what methods did the slut girl Xiaozhuang use to persuade Dorgon to release Jirgalang and restore him to his post.

"It must be that slutty woman who has Dorgon sleeps with him again. Dorgon has tuberculosis and still plays with this? I wish you will go crazy and return to heaven as soon as possible!" Tong Tuchang thought viciously.

In fact, Tong Tuchang is a bit judged by a villain's heart. Xiaozhuang and Dorgon have a leg up, but it is true that they can sleep in such a big thing and change their minds.

After seeing Dorgon, Xiaozhuang openly explained the current situation of the Ming and Qing dynasties. Now it is clear that the Ming and Qing dynasties are strong and weak. If the Qing Dynasty does not unite within the Qing Dynasty, it will really be like Mongolia to return to Liaodong to drink.

Dorgon's two white flags were severely damaged, and the other five flags also needed to be topped up. Therefore, after compromise, Dorgon agreed to release Jiergalang, serve as the Great General of Dingyuan, command all the Qing troops along the Yangtze River, be responsible for fighting against the Shenwu court in the Southern Ming Dynasty, and must regain the grain-producing areas in Jiangxi and Huguang.

Tong Tuchang took Jiergalang back to Yangzhou, leaving Fang Fengnian to hand over to Jiergalang, and he rushed back to Nanjing overnight to announce the good news to the emperor.

Tong Tuchang stood at the bow of the boat and was overjoyed when he saw the city walls in Nanjing. He finally came back. He had completed the task that could not have been completed. The governor's official position was waiting for him.

From the water of Jinshan Gate closed, Tong Tuchang found that the city gate was strictly guarded. The inspection department that was originally guarding the gate turned into a Ming army with live ammunition. Could it be that what happened to the capital in the past six months after he left?

Tong Tuchang was an envoy, holding the Emperor's Staff, so the soldiers guarding the gate naturally did not dare to stop him and let Tong Tuchang enter the city.

Tong Tuchang first went to the Ministry of Rites to hand over the procedures, and then went to the palace to pay homage to Emperor Zhu Hongsan.

Zhu Hongsan was overjoyed when he heard Tong Tuchang come back. He had received a secret report from Tong Tuchang. Now he and the Qing Dynasty have basically reached a consensus and work together to deal with Zhu Youlang. After destroying Zhu Youlang, the Qing Dynasty will be beautiful!

Tong Tuchang entered the hall and saw Zhu Hongsan. He quickly knelt down and choked and said, "My memory... Tong Tuchang, pay homage to His Majesty the Emperor!"

Seeing Tong Tuchang like this, Zhu Hongsan smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work, get up! Come on! Give a seat for Tong Aiqing!" This is glory. In front of the emperor, no one can have a seat except for a few prime ministers in the cabinet.

Tong Tuchang was flattered and quickly stood up to thank him.

Seeing Tong Tuchang sitting carefully on the embroidery pier, Zhu Hongsan asked with a smile: "Tong Aiqing, can the Beijing party go smoothly?"

When Tong Tuchang heard the emperor ask, he quickly explained his experience in the past six months in detail, such as meeting horse bandits in Shandong and being imprisoned in Beijing. Anyway, the main contributions were his own, and the other two deputy envoys Fang Fengnian and Zhao Mengguan were completely decorated. Zhao Mengguan was fine, but Tong Tuchang felt that it would be better not to offend him, but to give Zhao Mengguan some contributions. As for Fang Fengnian, he didn't say anything good, and he completely said Fang Fengnian was a sinner who had cut off his majesty.

"Your Majesty, Fang Fengnian has many complaints about His Majesty along the way, and has had a long secret conversation with Hong Chengchou, the pseudo-governor of the Qing Dynasty in Huai'an. I think Fang Fengnian will definitely surrender to the Qing Dynasty in secret. Such traitors must be guarded!"

Tong Tuchang turned black and white and put all the shit on Fang Fengnian. It would be better to hope that the emperor could cut Fang Fengnian's head in anger.

However, Zhu Hongsan didn't say anything, just asked: "Tong Aiqing, I heard that you recognized a relative in Beijing?"

Tong Tuchang was so scared that he was sweating coldly on his back. He knew that it must be the Jinyiwei who sued him behind his back. Fortunately, he didn't say anything bad about Zhao Mengguan just now, and even gave him some credit. Otherwise, if these gangs would kill him, I wouldn't know what else to say.

Tong Tuchang quickly left his seat and knelt down and shouted, "Your Majesty, it's unfair! At that time, the delegation was detained in the post station by Manchu customs and could not contact outsiders. I had no choice but to make up and went out to see my relatives! But I can guarantee that Tong Tulai also won over the ministers, but they were sternly rejected by me, and did not embarrass Your Majesty!"

Seeing Tong Tuchang as if he was scared like this, Zhu Hongsan smiled and said, "Get up! I don't believe you. If you really believe it, you can't send you to the negotiation!"

Tong Tuchang heard the emperor say this and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, got up and sat down again.

"Did Tong Tulai lead you into the palace? I have seen anyone, tell me the story in detail!"

"Your Majesty, I went to the palace to meet the Empress Dowager of the Qing Dynasty. I argued with reason and was neither humble nor arrogant. The Empress Dowager was finally intimidated by my loyalty to the Ming Dynasty, so I agreed to make a contract with my Ming Dynasty!"

Zhu Hongsan nodded without comment and asked, "What other terms do the contract have besides the paper?"

In order not to leave any handle, Tong Tuchang did not write the terms of dealing with Zhu Youlang with the Qing Dynasty on the formal contract. After all, it is really not nice to deal with his own people. However, Tong Tuchang has already explained that there are secret terms in his memorial to Zhu Hongsan, but he has to wait until he meets the saint alone.

Tong Tuchang heard the emperor's question now and quickly replied: "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager of the Qing Dynasty hopes that we can give up Wuchang Mansion so that they can cross the river to attack King Gui's army!"

Wuchang is an important town on the Yangtze River. Without Wuchang, there is only one Jiujiang left in the upper reaches of Nanjing. If Jiujiang is lost, there will be no danger to defend. In addition to these Wuchangs, it is also the emperor's dragon-rise land. The tomb of the late emperor is still in Wuchang County. I wonder if the emperor can agree. Tong Tuchang said while watching Zhu Hongsan, afraid that the emperor would pull him out and chop him up in anger.

What surprised Tong Tuchang was that Zhu Hongsan was not angry. Zhu Hongsan was just giving up Wuchang to be inappropriate.

Zhu Hongsan now occupied Wuchang Prefecture and the surrounding Xianning, Jiayu and Daye areas, a wedge formed between the Qing Dynasty and Zhu Youlang. To be honest, it was not of great use. If Wuchang Prefecture was given to the Qing Dynasty, his defense line would be shrinking to Jiujiang. Although the safety zone would be more than 200 miles behind, it would also completely connect the Qing Dynasty and Zhu Youlang. There are still many benefits to this.

However, Zhu Hongsan did not want to talk more about military affairs in front of Tong Tuchang. "Tong Aiqing, you should go home for a rest after half a year. I will give you half a month off and spend time with your family when you go home. After the new position, you will be appointed by the cabinet. Go down!"

When Tong Tuchang heard that the emperor was going to promote himself, he was overjoyed. He was promoted to another level and became a governor, who was a serious official.

Zhu Hongsan looked at Tong Tuchang happily and said to Li Chengen beside him: "Old Li, go to the Jinyiwei to see him. If Zhao Mengguan comes back, let him see me!"

As an officer of the Jinyiwei, Zhao Mengguan went to visit the commander Qian Lide as soon as he came back, and reported to Qian Lide the words and deeds of all the officials in the delegation.

While Zhao Mengguan was reporting, a guard came in outside the door to report: "Mr. Commander, Eunuch Li came over outside the door and said that he had his majesty's oral order!"

The emperor's oral orders were of great importance, and Qian Lide quickly brought all the officials in the commander's yamen to go out to greet him.

Li Chengen was originally incompatible with Qian Lide. When he was in Zhoushan, Qian Lide almost died at the hands of Li Chengen. However, now Li Chengen has an oral order, Qian Lide has no choice but to kneel down and salute.

"I wonder what happened to Eunuch Li when he came to the Jinyiwei?"

Li Chengen said with a slight smile: "Haha, Commander Qian quickly invites you. The emperor's oral order is not for you. The emperor wants to meet Zhao Mengguan!"

Zhao Mengguan was confused. Although he was an Jinyiwei, his identity was a thousand miles apart. How could he see the emperor?

Li Chengen said to Zhao Mengguan: "Zhao Zhenfu, let's go! Don't let the emperor wait in a hurry!"

Zhao Mengguan looked at Qian Lide and whispered: "My commander, I'm so rude!" After that, he stood up and followed Li Chengen out of the yamen.

Qian Lide looked at Zhao Mengguan's back and thoughtfully. What did the emperor want to see Zhao Mengguan? Didn't the surveillance records that used to call civil servants all passed by him? Did the emperor distrust him?

Zhao Mengguan followed Li Chengen into the palace and came to the gate of Wenhua Palace. Zhao Mengguan whispered: "Master, I wonder what will happen to Your Majesty in the future?"

Lee Chengen chuckled: "Mr. Zhao, your luck has come. Don't forget our family if you have a great success in the future?"

Zhao Mengguan was at a loss when Li Chengen laughed and said quickly: "Please don't worry about this!" Zhao Mengguan heard that Li Chengen did not say any reason, and did not dare to ask again, so he had to follow him into Wenhua Palace.

Zhao Mengguan had met Zhu Hongsan when he was in Dongguan before, but at that time Zhu Hongsan was just a royal family with two bad money, so he could not see him in the eyes of Zhao Mengguan. However, later Zhu Hongsan was named King of Chu, and later became the governor and finally became emperor. Zhao Mengguan never met Zhu Hongsan again. The two had a lot of differences in identities.

Zhao Meng entered the hall and did not dare to look up, and kowtowed and said, "Long live."

Zhu Hongsan smiled and said, "Get up, Lao Zhao!"

Zhao Mengguan dared to stand up after receiving the emperor's permission.

"Old Zhao, I have known you for seven or eight years!"

"Go back to Your Majesty, I will finally know Your Majesty from the fifteenth year of Chongzhen, and it has been seven years now!"

Zhu Hongsan nodded, stood up and came to Zhao Mengguan and said, "Old Zhao, the old people in the Qiandi Palace probably have the lowest position?"

Zhao Mengguan dared not answer this sentence, of course, the lowest position. Zhao Mengguan was born in Guangdong and was not Zhu Hongsan's old subordinate in Huguang. In addition, he was not favored by Qian Lide, so he naturally worked the most and promoted the most at the latest.

"Hehe, it is all the grace of Your Majesty from a hundred houses in the hall to a fourth-rank poliest. You are very satisfied with the present!"
