Seeing Dorgon suddenly getting angry, Ning Wan was shocked and knelt on the ground with a trembling body, not daring to look up.

Dorgon was still angry and continued to scold: "Now, in the Qing Dynasty, except for Haoge, a small group of bastards who do not know the times and fight against the heavens, who dare not obey me! Even though the struggle between our army and the Tang army has been slightly frustrated, there are reasons for the incident and no damage has been hurt. What's more, the Tang army won the victory in the past few times, and our army suffered a great loss, which led to continuous loss of city and land. But it is said that the future is long, so how can we fight for a long time? After we regain our power and then compete with the Tang army, the end of the outcome is still unknown. If you wait for this, you will really lose our aura and the opponent's power."

When Dorgon said this, he looked angry. Ning Wan, who was kneeling on the ground, buried his head deeply and dared not say a word.

Seeing Ning Wan, I looked pitiful and pleaded guilty, Dorgon wanted to say more reprimands, but finally sighed and did not continue.

However, after Dorgon sat back on the tiger-skin chair, Fan Wencheng next to him still looked worried and serious. He looked at Dorgon's face and said in a low voice: "What the Regent said is also reasonable. We occupy most of the Qing Dynasty and do have a great advantage, so we should not underestimate ourselves. However, the current situation is indeed deteriorating, so we should not be too optimistic. In the following foolish opinion, the combined forces of the Tang army and Haoge may be far stronger than we expected, and we should not underestimate them. If the Regent agrees, please listen to the details below."

Dorgon stared at Fan Wencheng's face, and he snorted coldly, but nothing more than speaking.

Fan Wencheng was also very embarrassed when he saw that Dorgon did not express his opinion, but now that he had already said it, he still wanted to finish it with his teeth.

"Regent, please listen to the next statement. If our army is only compared with Haoge, both the military power and the support of the crowd are far above it. Although there may be twists and turns to attack Haoge and others, it will be a big problem to finally resolve and eliminate them. However, because of Li Xiao's Tang army, these huge variables are mixed with it. The change in this matter has changed from a competition between the two sides to a three-party game. This situation is too complicated, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is far beyond our control."

Dorgon still didn't say anything, but his face was gloomy and terrible. Obviously, Fan Wencheng's words touched him a lot, and he was waiting for Fan Wencheng to continue speaking.

Fan Wencheng sighed lightly and continued, "Regent, I understand your intentions. You must be thinking that after the spring thaws, you will lead a large army to fight Li Xiao's Tang army to the death. In order to use our superior forces to drive all these invaders out of our Qing territory. However, what I want to say is that the Tang army came this time was not impulse, but a carefully planned invasion. The tens of thousands of elite troops who attacked our Qing Dynasty were all those who had been in battle for a long time, and how could our army easily defeat it. What's more, during this period of heavy snow blocking the road, they had been lingering for several months and had completed all the Haicheng, Yingkou, Zhenyuanbao and other places, and the defenses in various places would be very strict. If our army wants to attack, we can

To win, I am afraid there will be a heavy price. What I am most worried about is that when our army is fighting with the Tang army, Haoge is developing rapidly in Shengjing City, and even sends troops to attack the Tang army. In this way, our army will be passive everywhere and be busy. However, the Tang army and Haoge can wait for work and sit in a hard city, and the losses will be far less than us. In this case, the war situation will inevitably be delayed, and the national conditions of the Qing Dynasty will continue to deteriorate. If this is the case, the future prospects of our army will be really not optimistic. Therefore, although our army has great advantages now, in this invisible attack, the morale of the army will continue to fade, and its strength will eventually be greatly damaged. The Qing Dynasty's national situation should also take a sharp turn for the worse."

When Fan Wencheng said this, he sighed with a helpless and heartache.

Dorgon's face became increasingly ugly, but he still had to admit that Fan Wencheng's words were quite reasonable.

Now I seem to have a great family and have the upper hand, but the real situation may be even worse than what Fan Wencheng said. If this war continues like this, the situation is absolutely not optimistic. Even if we have been lucky enough to defeat Haoge and Li Xiao by chance, we will end up with a miserable victory. The Qing Empire, which was originally at its peak, will surely decline in the middle of the way and its national strength will fall greatly. Maybe by then, the Qing Empire, which has been through war for a long time, will involuntarily but helplessly move towards the historical garbage dump like the Ming Dynasty that is about to lie.

In addition, there is another even more terrifying situation. That is, although Dorgon tried his best to eliminate Haoge who was confronting him and the Tang army that came from the expedition, Li Xiao, who now occupied most of Shandong, Taiwan, Southeast Asia, Australia, and Northeast Asia, had amazing recovery ability. He was afraid that he would not retreat, but instead mobilized his troops and launched a large-scale attack. Taking advantage of his dying moment, he came to chase and attack his own dog. In this way, the Qing Empire would really end in his hands.

If it really reaches such a darkest moment, not only will the Qing Empire be destroyed, but it will be in the end not only will the power and status be insecured, but life will also be worrying.

Thinking of this, a painful feeling surged on Dorgon's face. He sighed and clenched his fists secretly.

But, is it really the only way to go to discuss peace with Hauge?

After all, in Dorgon's opinion, although the situation is not optimistic now, if you really want to give up your existing advantages and negotiate with Haoge, who can only occupy Shengjing's self-restraint, it would be too much of a price or too much of a decline. The face of the regent is probably going to be lost.

What's more, Tianxian's great power and supreme position have always been firmly in the hands of one person, so how can it be shared with others?

If you take another step back, if you really do this, who can guarantee that the power and status you have finally obtained will not fall from now on?

Dorgon's face was complicated and painful, and he could not say these words to anyone in his deepest heart.

Kings are always lonely. It’s not that they are born like this, but that once they are in this position, they can no longer find anyone who can speak intimate words.

Fan Wencheng checked his face and saw Dorgon's expression. He saw him silent again. He knew that his heart was actually quite fluctuating, but because of his status and face, he could not speak out his inner words.

Fan Wencheng is such a smart person, and of course he knows what Dorgon is most worried about.

It was nothing more than the power and status he gained with all his efforts and means.

It is estimated that Dorgon regards these things more than his own life. One thing that is certain is that if power and status are threatened, Dorgon will not be afraid to fight with anyone, and even if the entire Qing Empire and his own burial are still there.

"Regent, in fact, according to the following point of view, you don't have to worry at all. If you really have a peace talk with Hauge, you can be sure that we will still occupy an absolute dominant position and will never let others lose power."

Fan Wencheng's words were very low, but Dorgon's heart moved.

"What did you say?" Dorgon asked in a deep voice, and a sharp cold light flashed through his eyes. He obviously heard Fan Wencheng's implicit sound.

"What I want to say is that if the Regent really wants to negotiate with Haoge, we will firmly grasp the initiative and firmly control the national trend. Thus, we will resolve the dilemma internally, block the strong enemy externally, and ultimately achieve the unification of the Qing Dynasty and the country will be permanent. And Haoge will eventually be nothing, and will only be completely excluded by us."

"Oh, I must listen carefully to Xiandou's high argument." Dorgon was intrigued and turned his head and shouted, "Sir Ning, don't kneel down, and get up and talk."

"Thank you! Thank you, Regent." Ning Wan on the ground, I was ashamed of amnesty, and then stood up and stood beside me.

Fan Wencheng took a breath and continued: "The Regent, Xia and Gongfu both believed that although the current situation is difficult, the general trend is still firmly in the hands of the Regent. The officials from the court and the army from the Qing Dynasty were also very respectful of the Regent's prestige and wisdom. Therefore, with this condition as a basis, we have absolute confidence in the negotiations with Haoge, and the first thing we can say is to be invincible."

As soon as Fan Wencheng finished speaking, Ning Wan, I also said, "That's right. Now our military governs the four realms of the Qing Dynasty, and the Mongolian tribes and the Han army and the Eight Banners help each other, and Haoge only has one place in Shengjing City. Compared with these two, our advantages are so great that we can be judged at a glance. Therefore, if our army sends representatives to negotiate with Haoge, whether it is real strength or psychological advantage, they are all huge, which can have an oppressive impact on Haoge, thus providing good help to our army in negotiations."

"Since our advantages are so huge and our strength is so different from Haoge, then Haoge is not a fool, how can he suffer this secret loss? What's more, with the help of the Tang army now, how can he agree to discuss peace talks with our army?" Dorgon let go, but he still hesitated.

Fan Wencheng smiled slightly and replied, "Regent, do you think the alliance between Haoge and the Tang army is unbreakable? No, the reason why they can be together is because they were forced too much by us some time ago. In order to protect themselves, they had to unite with the Tang army in order to fight us. To put it bluntly, it was just a temporary need to keep warm. Their alliance seems solid on the surface, but in fact they have their own ulterior motives and have their own doubts. How can they last for a long time?"

"Xian Dou said this very much. Haoge and the Tang army had fundamental contradictions and conflicts, and it would never be difficult to get along for a long time. The reason why the two of them could get along was because we had too much advantage. In order to protect themselves, Haoge had to ignore the blood hatred of the Tang army in the blood of the Tang army who killed the late emperor. He turned the enemy into friends with the Qing Dynasty's mortal enemy Tang army and joined forces to fight our army together. It was also a pity. Therefore, we both thought that if Haoge and Li Xiao's Tang army could get along with each other for profit, they would have to disperse with profit. This is inevitable. "Ning Wan's eyes were shining and he interrupted loudly on the side.

"The two of you have made sense to analyze this. Have you ever thought about what conditions should you use to negotiate with Haoge? Or, what conditions do you think we can finally impress Haoge?" Dorgon nodded and asked Fan Wencheng in a low voice.

Seeing Dorgon ask this question, Fan Wencheng and Ning Wan and I knew that they were moved inside, and they were not happy in their hearts. They looked at each other and knelt on the ground, bowed and bowed.

"Reported to the Regent, we thought about it and thought that there was a best peace talks that could be implemented. If this strategy was proposed, Hauge would not refuse. "I would like to speak first." Ning Wan.

"Oh, but He He talked about the plan." Dorgon blinked, looking full of interest.

"The two kings support the emperor!" Fan Wencheng replied word by word.

"What? The two kings support the emperor?!" Dorgon's eyes widened in an instant.

"Yes, it is the plan for the two kings to support the emperor. After receiving the regent, this plan is what we have thought hard and is absolutely feasible." Fan Wencheng said in a deep voice: "The way to implement this plan was first proposed by the regent to Haoge. In fact, he misunderstood. He had no intention of fighting for the throne at all. It was enough to become the regent. The previous measures were only urgent measures taken to win people's hearts. However, such measures were too arduous and the death of the late emperor made Haoge misunderstood. In the end, the same family in the Qing Empire fought against each other, but ultimately made the enemy profit. How could such a misunderstanding be painful?"

"Then what you mean, you are planning..." Dorgon deliberately paused when he said this.

Fan Wencheng was thinking about how to organize the wording, but Ning Wan on the side, I couldn't help but interrupted, and hurriedly said, "Regent, I have discussed that if we want to impress Haoge and ask him to agree to the peace talks with us, the most important thing is two. One is to establish a new emperor. Regent, you should make a gesture of not wanting to obtain the throne in this way. The other is to ensure Haoge's official title, status, and wealth, so that Haoge can rest assured and be willing to lift his guard and start a peace talk with our army. Only by doing these two points can this peace talks go smoothly and finally talk with Haoge to a result that everyone can accept."

When Dorgon heard this, he also understood in his heart how they should carry out the so-called peace talks and what preparations were made.

It's a pity! It's a pity that I have worked hard to figure it out, but I can't get it in one step, and I can't realize my years of dream of becoming the Supreme Lord of the Nine Five. In the end, I have to move forward in a curve. By establishing a puppet emperor first and then controlling it behind the scenes, I can control the entire Qing Dynasty political situation. This method is a very helpless compromise.

As for giving Haoge a suitable official title and protecting his property, Dorgon did not pay special attention to it, because he knew that a person like Haoge who was very ambitious and unscrupulous, even if he could be on par with himself in the court in the future, he would eventually be squeezed out by his resourceful self with various means, and eventually he would die.

Therefore, the key to the problem now is that choosing which descendant of Huang Taiji to inherit the throne and become a pawn under his control is the most important thing.

So, Huang Taiji has many descendants, but who should I choose?

"So, in your opinion, which descendant of the late emperor should be appointed as the emperor, is it appropriate?" Dorgon glanced at Fan Wencheng and asked casually.
