Let us say that since Wang Chengen left Nanjing City, he went straight to a rocky hill not far from the city. Zheng Chenggong and the others were stationed there.
Wang Chengen was at a loss when he came in. He looked around and couldn't find the person he was looking for.
It wasn't until the masked figure slowly appeared in front of him and nodded gently to him that he was suddenly so excited that he almost cried with joy.
But he immediately realized that something was wrong. His current identity was that of an envoy who came to discuss retreat strategies on behalf of the Ming Dynasty, and the other party did not know the true identity of the Holy Sage. He could not show his feet at this time and affect the Holy Sage's
He had a big plan, so he tried to act as gentle, polite and a little arrogant as an envoy should be.
His acting skills can be regarded as perfect, and the people sitting next to him were stunned and did not notice anything unusual. Wang Chengen had already read the letter from the emperor before he came. The conditions in the letter were very generous. It seemed that
This kid also really hopes that he can succeed.
At the end, he also mentioned in passing that if the two parties can successfully cooperate to repel the rebels this time, then he will definitely invite these meritorious soldiers to the imperial city to hold a banquet to thank them in person. Of course there is nothing wrong with this.
Yes, but Wang Chengen didn't know if he was too sensitive. He always felt that these words were very meaningful and seemed to be added on purpose.
The people on Zheng Chenggong's side were not happy either. Daming said he wanted to have a good discussion, but he took over and found an eunuch to negotiate with them. Doesn't this show no sincerity at all?
But Boss Zheng was still sitting there calmly, and he seemed to be having a good conversation with the eunuch who was sent here. None of them were like Shi Lang, who dared to talk about anything just because of his seniority.
That's right. Seeing that the boss had no intention of getting angry, I had no choice but to sit down and talk honestly, each one feeling aggrieved.
This grievance lasted until Wang Chengen began to talk to them about the conditions he had brought. Not only were they high-ranking officials, generous salaries, land titles, but also cars, BMWs, and beauties.
For these men who have been traveling around with their heads in their belts all year round, these things undoubtedly have a huge temptation. Although their blood advocates killing flows in their bones, after all, no one is born to like running around.
Especially as they get older and older, their desire to settle down becomes stronger and stronger. The emperor's promises undoubtedly represent stability. Now they don't need Zheng Boss to say it, they are already moved.
.
No wonder Boss Zheng always wants to be a loyal minister. There are many benefits to being a loyal minister. Thinking of this, they can't help but admire the boss's foresight. Even those who don't want to settle down yet can get it here.
A large amount of gold, silver and jewelry is also good.
Of course, Zheng Chenggong took note of their performance, and he was a little surprised by Lin Chong's generosity. After all, according to what Wang Chengen said in his previous letter, Lin Chong had always been someone who cared about money.
He originally thought that it would take a certain amount of time and energy to convince his subordinates, but he didn't expect that it could be done so easily. Since the negotiation went smoothly, it was natural for them to chat privately for a while.
As soon as he arrived at a deserted place, Wang Chengen's attitude immediately became respectful: "Old slave, please see your Majesty, long live my emperor." He said a deep bow in a way that was almost prostrate.
A big gift, it seemed that this was the only way to express his unparalleled excitement.
Emperor Chongzhen personally stepped forward to help him up: "You don't have to be polite, I have worked really hard on you these days."
Wang Chengen was so excited that he burst into tears. He wiped his eyes with his sleeves: "What I did is all part of my job, so why bother? Your Majesty, the Nine-Five Supreme Being has to suffer all that for nothing.
, whenever I think about it, I feel really uncomfortable."
"Don't you think I'm doing well now? In fact, this trip out may not be a bad thing. If it weren't for this trip, I wouldn't have gained so much knowledge, met so many people, and understood the true meaning of those things I did before.
It’s defective.”
"Your Majesty, now that I see that you are fine, I can really feel at ease." He wiped away his tears, then remembered that he still had the letter in his arms, and quickly took it out and handed it to Chongzhen.
Emperor: "Look, this is the letter that guy Lin Chong wrote to the old slave when he came here."
"This boy is a little different from what I thought before. According to the description in your previous letter, I thought he was a timid and stingy person. Unexpectedly, after looking at it this time, he is actually more generous than I imagined.
Much." Emperor Chongzhen praised it while briefly browsing the content written in the letter.
Wang Chengen also nodded: "Although this kid usually calculates clearly, he still sees very clearly on big issues of right and wrong, otherwise he would not have survived the difficulties again and again and preserved the Ming Dynasty for so long.
"
The smile on Emperor Chongzhen's face did not diminish by half, and he asked casually: "You said before that most of the ministers in the court were on good terms with him and had great trust in him. He also promoted many young people to important positions.
, is this possible?"
"It can't be said that the ministers of the DPRK made friends with him. This boy was young, frivolous and ignorant, and offended many veterans of the DPRK. Of course, he had to promote some young people who had the same experience as him, otherwise how could he deal with these veterans?
Where are you? When it comes to trust, I also trust you! He is just a shadow of you." Wang Chengen's words were somewhat dismissive of Lin Chong.
"Really?" Emperor Chongzhen glared at him funny: "Don't underestimate this kid. He is definitely not a creature of the pond. Just based on the ease with which he dealt with Li Zicheng and Wu Sangui before, plus Xiang Xiang
The king's calm patience when he entered the capital is enough to show that the second son is beyond the reach of ordinary people."
"Yes, you said he is beyond human reach, he is beyond human reach. If you say he is a waste, then he is a waste. Isn't this all a matter of your words?" Wang Chengen
Hehe laughed and agreed.
Emperor Chongzhen kicked him: "Your mouth has really not changed at all after such a long time. You are still so glib. You just know how to say something nice."
"Old slave, you are wronged. This is not a nice thing to say. I am a stupid person, but what I said is the truth."
Emperor Chongzhen had nothing to do with him. He really hadn't changed at all after so many years: "Okay, then this matter is settled. But just delete this thing in the letter. You don't have to give so many things. This is my
The Ming Dynasty's treasury cannot really be allowed to be squandered by that kid."
