Emperor Chongzhen, who was sitting on the imperial throne, became more and more angry as he spoke.:.../Wang Zhongying, the cabinet minister who had just spoken and was criticized by Emperor Chongzhen, stood up again.

At this moment, he didn't care about the face of the court. He said bluntly in the anger of Emperor Chongzhen...

"Please calm down your anger. The old minister has something to say, I hope your majesty can consider it carefully..."

"When negotiating with the Tiger and Leopard Army, the face of His Majesty and the entire court will indeed be hit."

"However, if we do not negotiate with the Tiger and Leopard Army, we will allow the Tiger and Leopard Army to attack directly outside the capital city, and then negotiate with the Tiger and Leopard Army. In that case, the court and Your Majesty will suffer more face. Not only that, the price the court paid during the negotiation will be greater..."

"The old minister hopes that your majesty can understand that after losing tens of thousands of elite troops on the front line, except for the border troops stationed in the border and defending the Later Jin cavalry, the court no longer has the strength to compete with the Tiger and Leopard Army..."

"So, as long as Your Majesty does not want to be the king of the fallen country in the Ming Dynasty and see that the capital was captured by the Tiger and Leopard Army, then you can only negotiate with the Tiger and Leopard Army, and temporarily compromise with the Tiger and Leopard Army. This path is optional..."

"Not only that, the old minister also wants His Majesty to understand that the earlier we are calm with the Tiger and Leopard Army, the less the price the court will have to pay... Therefore, negotiating with the Tiger and Leopard Army is definitely the most favorable time for the court..."

After the cabinet minister Wang Zhongying finished speaking, several other cabinet ministers who also recognized the situation seemed to have discussed it, and said at the same time: "I will discuss it. Please consider this proposal carefully for the future of the Ming Dynasty..."

The minister's words were like a pot of bone-chilling cold water, which instantly wiped out all the so-called self-esteem, confidence, expectations in Chongzhen's heart. Then, he had to face the reality again.

The entire hall also became silent at this moment...

Just as all the ministers said that their eyes were focused on Chongzhen whose faces were changing. When they were waiting for Chongzhen to reply, a scream full of unwillingness shouted out directly from Chongzhen's mouth.

"I am not willing to accept it... As the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, I actually bowed my head to the traitors. I am really unwilling to accept it..."

After hearing Chongzhen's unwilling roar, a smile unexpectedly appeared on the faces of the ministers.

Because Chongzhen's roar had already told them that Emperor Chongzhen had agreed to the negotiations with the Tiger and Leopard Army in his heart. However, Chongzhen was still unwilling to accept it...

Since that's the case, as long as Emperor Chongzhen's unwillingness is solved, all problems will be solved.

Faced with this situation, the old cabinet chief minister stood up directly. Under the gaze of Emperor Chongzhen, he answered in his old voice with a complex gaze.

"Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that Lord Wang's analysis just now is very good... The earlier the negotiations with the Tiger and Leopard Army, the less the price the court needs to pay. In this case, after the end of this military confrontation, the more confident and strength the court used to restore vitality will become..."

"As far as the old ministers know, in the court's attack on Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces, the court imitated the grenades created by the Tiger and Leopard Army played a very important role in the battlefield. Otherwise, the court's losses would become greater during the entire attack."

"It can be seen from this that the key reason why the Tiger and Leopard Army can win again and again on the battlefield is that the various firearms equipped by the Tiger and Leopard Army are very sharp. In terms of power, they are far more powerful than the firearms equipped by us."

"Since that's the case, the court can use these imitated grenades and flintlock guns, and new firearms troops that are the same as those of the Tiger and Leopard Army after the end of calm."

"The old minister can say with certainty that with the support of the entire Ming Dynasty, the new firearm army of the imperial court must have far surpassed the firearm army of only Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces to support it, and the Tiger and Leopard Army..."

"In addition, after the negotiations, we can also comprehensively promote the military farming methods of the Tiger and Leopard Army in Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces, tax reform...all policies and methods that are beneficial to the Ming Dynasty will be fully promoted in other provinces of the Ming Dynasty."

"The old minister believes that under the influence of these policies, the tax revenue of the court will increase significantly in the same way as that of Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces. As long as the court has silver, a series of problems faced by the court will be solved..."

After analyzing one by one by one, Chongzhen's face, the constantly changing expressions on his face finally became relaxed.

Not only that, Chongzhen, who was shrouded in despair, had once again shown confidence and longing for the future.

After the cabinet chief minister finished speaking, Emperor Chongzhen, who had made up his mind, spoke directly and issued an order.

"Since that's the case, I agree to negotiate with the Tiger and Leopard Army..."

"As for the specific negotiation details and the candidates for negotiation, the cabinet immediately took out a note and handed it over to me for review."

The Zhengbei Army barracks, less than a hundred miles away from the capital, had just seen the powerful military power of the Zhengbei Army, but had not yet reacted from the shock, and was directly taken to the military tent where Wei Zheng was located.

Wei Zheng, who has strong military strength to support and holds the trump card of tens of thousands of official troops, is not worried that the negotiation initiative will be taken away by the other party.

From the time Wang Zhongying sat directly opposite him, Wei Zheng smiled and looked at the cabinet minister who had met before him, and took the initiative to make a request to the court to negotiate with him.

I want to see what is different about this Wang Zhongying. I dare to take on the negotiation tasks that other ministers of the court dare not take on, so I come to the Northern Army camp to negotiate with myself.

While Wei Zheng carefully observed Wang Zhongying, Wang Zhongying, who slowly reacted from the shock, also began to observe the young Wei Zheng in front of him, who was almost a little scary, and wanted to see if Wei Zheng, who was holding heavy troops, really had three heads and six arms.

Just as the two were observing each other, they came to the Zhengbei Army camp a few days ago and made a lot of noise in front of Wei Zheng. I don’t know if they wanted to show off in front of the cabinet ministers, or because they had the support of Wang Zhongying, they once again showed their arrogance a few days ago and did not take people like Wei Zheng seriously.

As the negotiator, Wei Zheng and Wang Zhongying had not spoken yet. This third-rank minister who was not qualified to speak at all actually took the lead and pointed at Wei Zheng and cursed loudly...

"Wei Zheng, you are bold... The one sitting in front of you is the minister of the imperial cabinet. You, the governor of Shanxi and Shaanxi, did not respect him when you met the Shangguan. You were simply offended by the following."

After saying this, not only Wei Zheng's face, but Wang Zhongying's face, who was sitting in front of him, also became gloomy at the same time.

In the eyes of the Minister of Rites, what he said must have just been in Wang Zhongying's heart, which made Wang Zhongying feel dissatisfied with what he did in front of Wei Zheng.

Just as the Minister of Rites began to be complacent about what he said just now, a look of disgust flashed across Wei Zheng's face. Then, he pointed to the Minister of Rites who made him very disgusted and asked Wang Zhongying.

"Is this the so-called minister of the court? I don't understand the rules at all."

"In addition, I almost forgot one thing. Before you came, Lord Wang, this man did the following things to commit crimes many times, and blocked and destroyed the negotiations between me and the court..."

"In order to make the negotiations go smoothly today, and to let me see the sincerity of the court. I hope the court will immediately say that he was dismissed from office and punished directly. Otherwise, before I can't see the sincerity of the court, I refuse to negotiate with the court."

Hearing this, the Minister of Rites, who had just looked proud, finally felt the different atmosphere in the military tent.

While his face changed drastically, he subconsciously knelt on the ground and begged for mercy to Wang Zhongying in front of him, saying, "Sir, it's unjust... I have never committed any crimes in the humble position, nor have I destroyed the negotiations between the court and the Tiger and Leopard Army. Please observe clearly..."

After taking a deep look at the Minister of Rites who was kneeling on the ground in front of him, Wang Zhongying's face did not show any pity or reluctance.

He ordered coldly to him: "You should ask for the person not to be the official, but the General Wei in front of you... As long as General Wei agrees to surround your life, you don't have to die..."

Hearing this, the Minister of Rites' face turned pale.

Just as he was preparing to kowtow to Wei Zheng for mercy in order to survive, Wei Zheng waved his hand and said...

"You don't have to kowtow, I can't stand your great gift... You know, you were sent by the court and represent the court. I am just a traitor in your mouth. How can a traitor in your traitor in your mouth be able to accept such a great gift from you..."

After saying that, Wei Zheng continued to say without caring about the other party's increasingly pale face...

"But before you die, I will give you a word. No matter when, you must see the situation clearly, don't be a frog in the well, and don't be self-righteous..."

Facing Wei Zhengyi's words, Wang Zhongying's eyes at the Minister of Rites were already invisibly filled with a hint of murderous intent. Because the Minister of Rites in front of him not only did not help him, but instead caused him a big trouble.

Before the negotiations really began, they were taught a lesson by the Forward Wei Zheng.

The four words "see the situation clearly" are not only what they say to the Minister of Rites around you, but also to yourself...

Let yourself understand the situation in the following negotiations, do not make meaningless resistance, and do not speak loudly.

After thinking through all this, Wang Zhongying, who had no pity for the Minister of Rites in front of him, had already developed a hint of hatred for him at this moment.

He said to the big inner guard who was following him with a murderous look on his face.
