Chapter 20 Hong Chengchou has surrendered

Ren Cheng seemed very happy after hearing Gao Qiqian's words and said, "Yes! My father-in-law is right! So why not do it quickly? If this matter is done well, it might be your chance to please the emperor!"

As Ren Cheng said, he took out a piece of paper and gave it to Gao Qiqian, saying, "Then! Father-in-law, with these as evidence, I think the emperor will be very happy, and you will also make great contributions! After all, Hong Chengchou really did not surrender to us, and he really committed suicide!"

"Okay! Very good!" Gao Qiqian was extremely happy! He was about to enter the palace to report to Chongzhen.

Chongzhen looked at Gao Qiqian and looked at the information collected by Gao Qiqian. Although Wu Sangui gave the news that it was not certain whether Hong Chengchou was dead, he only knew that he had gone on a hunger strike. Some rumors said that he was about to die and died, while others said that he had already died! There were also rumors that he had surrendered to the Qing Dynasty. In short, rumors were everywhere.

The information collected by Gao Qiqian now, as well as the documents and other information recorded in Manchu, all prove that Hong Chengchou was really loyal to the country and died on a hunger strike.

Chongzhen was also extremely confident. He was so kind to Hong Chengchou and had to repay him with great kindness. Hong Chengchou had to die! He would never be surrendered like Zu Dashou, Xia Chengde, Jiang Fei and others! And the rumor that Hong Chengchou surrendered very few times, and was far from being a rumor that Hong Chengchou died for his country.

"Okay! Hong Chengchou is a loyal minister, I know better than anyone else! I know people and responsibilities, and there will never be any mistakes!" Chongzhen was overwhelmed with confidence.

Gao Qiqian hurriedly flattered: "Yes! The emperor is wise and wise, no one can match! The ministers he appointed are the ministers of the country! They are all loyal and loyal!"

Chongzhen said, "Thank you for your information! Okay! Go, please step down! I still have to review the memorial!"

"Long live the emperor! Long live!" After Gao Qiqian burst into waves of mountain cry, he retreated.

After Gao Qi sneaked away, Chongzhen sneered and said, "I really can't understand why Gao Qiqian is so slim and insists on being unable to get along with Zhang Biwu?"

"Ah?" Wang Chengen didn't understand. He opened his mouth wide. Chongzhen said to him: "Parent Wang, Jinyiwei and Dongchang both reported to me that Zhang Biwu and Cao Bianjiao had a bet. If it was confirmed in three months that Hong Chengchou was really dead and did not surrender to the Qing Dynasty, then Zhang Biwu would be willing to cut off his head!"

"Ah!" Wang Chengen was stunned again and said, "How could this Zhang Biwu be so stupid? So stupid? He was not a wise man to make such a bet!"

"Haha!" Chongzhen laughed and said, "Haha! Wang's companion, if everyone is as arrogant as Zhang Biwu, I will be relieved! It seems that Zhang Biwu is still a bit cute, and I can still control him easily!"

Wang Chengen couldn't understand and asked, "What does the emperor mean?"

Chongzhen explained happily: "Zhang Biwu is still a person with poor thoughts after all! He is still a martial artist! A martial artist does not understand politics, he only knows how to fight, and he can only be used by the king! If someone else's civil servants or the like will never make such a bet! It's a mess! Isn't this embarrassing himself?"

"Ah!" Wang Chengen understood. Because of this, Chongzhen felt much more relieved about Zhang Biwu!

Wang Chengen thought of something, and then asked: "Your Majesty, Hong Chengchou must be a loyal minister. Zhang Biwu said this headlessly for some reason. It's so stupid! I'm just worried that if I lose, do you really want him to lose the head to Cao Bianjiao?"

Chongzhen pointed at Wang Chengen, laughed and said, "Chengen! Don't worry! I can issue an imperial edict at that time. Zhang Biwu must serve the country. His life is not his own, but his country, and his own! If Zhang Biwu does not have to die, Cao Bianjiao will not have anything to say! Zhang Biwu's life was saved by me, and he is still grateful to me? Do you think so?"

Wang Chengen hurriedly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty! You are so wise!" Chongzhen laughed loudly for this, and he was very happy!

Barto had long since quickly spread the news to Chenyang. Huang Taiji had been ill, but he had concealed everything and was not allowed to leak it out.

Moreover, he also heard that Dorgon repeatedly inquire about the palace. Huang Taiji knew about Dorgon’s little gossip, and Dorgon wanted to know if Concubine Zhuang was good.

Before Zhuang Concubine Da Yuer persuaded Hong Chengchou to surrender, Dorgon even frantically inquired about Da Yuer's news. He was crazy about trying to save Da Yuer.

Huang Taiji knew it. At this time, Fan Wencheng said that it was okay to persuade Hong Chengchou to surrender. Hong Chengchou was still afraid of death, although he wanted to be loyal to the Ming Dynasty on the surface. Fan Wencheng and Huang Taiji formulated a strategy to persuade Hong Chengchou to surrender, which was indispensable among them. Da Yu'er was the key to persuading Hong Chengchou!

However, Huang Taiji had another plan, which was to stabilize Dorgon. His health would be getting worse day by day. If Dorgon attacked again, the entire Qing Dynasty would be unpredictable and not what he wanted to see.

So Huang Taiji gave a chance to ask Dorgon to make great contributions to the Qing Dynasty, so Huang Taiji would go with the opportunity and say that he would persuade Hong Chengchou to surrender. In the end, he used the beauty plan. Dorgon felt very uncomfortable and had a great opinion on Huang Taiji, but the situation was already done, and it was useless for him to oppose it. This resentment was hidden deep in his heart.

Huang Taiji was very happy to receive Hong Chengchou's surrender, so he gave Dorgon face, saying that Dorgon could only convince Da Yu'er and asked Da Yu'er to persuade Hong Chengchou to surrender. In this way, Dorgon felt helpless. He was really a mute and couldn't say that he had suffered from the suffering of Coptis chinensis.

While Huang Taiji was hunting, a soldier quickly handed the letter to him. This was Batto's secret letter. After reading it, he couldn't help but wonder, saying, "What's going on? Why did Zhang Biwu bet with Cao Bianjiao? Between Hong Chengchou had surrendered? Everyone in the Ming Dynasty believed that Hong Chengchou was absolutely loyal and he would never surrender! But Zhang Biwu could see at a glance that Hong Chengchou surrendered! He was too powerful, right?"

Huang Taiji was very satisfied with the work of defense spies in his country: "In Shengjing, there would be no spies from the Ming Dynasty that penetrated into the deep layer. In our country, it was very strict to investigate suspicious people! There were very few spies from the Ming Dynasty. There were almost no spies from the deep layer!"

His satisfaction and confidence were based on the basis of his own, because Chongzhen and the Ming Dynasty thought that Hong Chengchou had been loyal to the country, but he did not find out any news that Hong Chengchou had surrendered, but in the end he made a big joke. It can be seen how perfect the Qing Dynasty's anti-espionage work was done.

Huang Taiji couldn't help but look back at Hong Chengchou behind him, and he continued to think: "It's amazing! When I saw Hong Chengchou on a hunger strike, I thought I was catching another Zhang Chun! I was very upset about this! If Fan Zhangjing hadn't seen through it, and the extremely intelligent Da Yuer said that he had a great grasp of persuading Hong Chengchou, I wouldn't have let Hong Chengchou surrender me! But Zhang Biwu was far away, but he could see through Hong Chengchou at first glance! Awesome! So awesome!"

Huang Taiji couldn't help but look at the contents of the letter again. Batto proposed to use this opportunity to kill Zhang Biwu and hide the news of Hong Chengchou's surrender! It will not be revealed. Even if Zhang Biwu cannot be killed, it can greatly reduce Zhang Biwu's reputation and let people know that Zhang Biwu is a person who does not keep his word and a reckless gambler.

Huang Taiji laughed and thought to himself: "Many people can see this, but Zhang Biwu cannot see it! He did this, perhaps to eliminate Chongzhen's vigilance? Zhang Biwu, it seems that you have worked so hard to be a general under Chongzhen!"

Huang Taiji thought about it and it was also a good thing that could eliminate Zhang Biwu's reputation and give him the reputation of being a reckless gambler.

Moreover, when Huang Taiji saw that Hong Chengchou was hiding in the distance, although he had surrendered, he still didn't want to expose it. He went wherever he was hidden and wherever he was the least. It seemed that hunting had nothing to do with him, Hong Chengchou. Although Huang Taiji arranged this hunt to relax for Hong Chengchou.

Huang Taiji knew that Hong Chengchou's family was still in Beijing. Hong Chengchou was influenced by the idea of ​​loyalty to the emperor since he was a child. If he had to betray his family and country at once, it would be really difficult. His psychology would be difficult to bear. It would take a long time before Hong Chengchou could resolve this sense of shame of betraying his homeland and his ancestors.

If all the news of Hong Chengchou surrender can be hidden, it is to say that it is to protect Hong Chengchou's family, which is also to worry about Hong Chengchou's feelings. In this case, Hong Chengchou must be very grateful. It can be said that he kills two birds with one stone!

After Huang Taiji made the decision, he felt relieved. He asked the surrendered Zu Dashou and Zu Dale to go hunting. Of course, he would ask Zu Dashou to write a letter to Wu Sangui, telling Wu Sangui that Hong Chengchou had died on a hunger strike, and that he would spread rumors about Hong Chengchou's death everywhere in Shengjing, so that the Ming spies in Shengjing would bring the wrong information back to the Ming Dynasty.

The plan was decided, and he was going to implement it later. Huang Taiji, who was ready, started reading Han Shu in a gap. Even when he was in the military, Huang Taiji did not forget to study Han culture diligently, and he also highly praised Han culture.
