Although he was fully mentally prepared, Fan Wencheng was still a little scared when he entered the Dazheng Hall and saw so many Manchu dignitaries. On the other hand, Ning Wanme was calm and relaxed and did not care at all about the Manchu dignitaries in the hall.

This is the difference between Fan Wencheng and Ning Wanwo.

Both of them were bachelors of the Hongwen Hall. Fan Wencheng was given the title of La Zhangjing of the Third Class, while Ning Wanwo got nothing. Both of them were counselors of the Qing Dynasty, but Fan Wencheng knew how to advance and retreat, whether it was making suggestions or making plans.

Whether it is timely advice or advice, you can consider it from the other party's perspective and assess the situation. After all, the Qing Dynasty is a world dominated by the Manchus, and the Han people do not have much status. Ning Wan and I are different. I speak out and give advice, regardless of whether the other party can bear it.

I don't care even if I risk my life.

Fan Wencheng actually admired Ning Wanwo because he couldn't speak out and give advice.

However, Fan Wencheng would never learn from Ning Wanwo. He felt that Ning Wanwo was stubborn. You must know that the Manchu nobles in the Qing Dynasty had very strong self-esteem. Apart from being brave in combat, they had almost no strengths in other aspects. Huang Taiji was full of

He was an outlier among the nobles, brave and resourceful. The regent Dorgon was also good, but not as good as Huang Taiji.

The Manchu nobles also have an almost universal bad temper. When they treat Han people or Semu people, they may teach them a lesson if their words are slightly discordant. In the eyes of these Manchu nobles, the Han people are not considered real people at all.

people.

Facing such Manchu dignitaries, Ning Wan's straightforward temper seemed abrupt.

Several times when Fan Wencheng was chatting with Ning Wanwo, Ning Wanwo compared himself to Wei Zheng, a critic of the Tang Dynasty. This made Fan Wencheng shudder. Wei Zheng's master was Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty.

The right ones are Huang Taiji, Dorgon and others of the Later Jin Dynasty. There is no comparison between the two. Besides, the Han people served the Manchus, which sounds nondescript. Although Fan Wencheng often comforted himself, he knew very well that in the eyes of the Han people,

Here they are scum and traitors.

Fan Wencheng did not deliberately suppress Ning Wanwo, thinking it was not worth it. If Ning Wanga could not change his temper, he would never be reused by the Qing court, nor could he threaten Fan Wencheng's status.

The gazes projected in the hall were full of disdain.

The life of the Han people in the Qing Dynasty became increasingly difficult because of food shortages and because many Han people in Liaodong fled to the west of the Liaohe River, which made the Manchus and Manchu nobles even more angry. When Huang Taiji was there, he once strictly ordered the Manchus to

Human rights are noble, and Han slaves cannot be killed at will. Some Manchus who did not believe in evil violated the rules and were punished by the court. Huang Taiji formulated many rules, treated the Han people well, focused on developing production, and stabilized the Qing Dynasty to a certain extent.

of Han people.

It is a pity that Dorgon did not persist. In other words, Dorgon, who was fighting for power in the DPRK, did not care about the life and death of the Han people at all. He needed to win the support of more Manchu nobles, so naturally he had to give the Manchu nobles some support.

In terms of privileges, they turned a blind eye to those who bullied the Han people and even beat and killed Han slaves at will.

There are fewer and fewer Han ministers in the court. In order to avoid disaster, many Han ministers have resigned from office due to physical reasons. Many Han people have moved away from Shenyang to places such as Haizhou and Fuzhou.

Fan Wencheng and Ning Wanme must persevere. Fan Wencheng is the first Han Chinese in the Qing Dynasty. Ning Wanme has a good reputation in the court. Because he dares to speak out, he once received praise from Huang Taiji. Besides, all Fan Wencheng

His family is all in Shenyang. He belongs to Xiangbai Banner and is a slave of Duduo, the leader of Xiangbai Banner. Once he becomes an official, he will have no chance to resist when faced with Duduo's clutches.

After enduring many disdainful looks, Fan Wencheng looked at Ning Wanwo next to him and muttered in his heart. Ning Wanwo made most of the analysis in the memorial presented to the Regent Dorgon.

Fan Wencheng originally disagreed, and suggested that he just submit the exact information. If Dorgon wanted to get to the bottom of it, then simply analyze it and let Dorgon and the Manchu nobles make their own judgments. Who knew that Ning Wan and I would not agree, life or death?

Since it is a memorial, the matter must be explained thoroughly.

Fan Wencheng thought it made sense, so he reluctantly agreed. But when he entered the Dazheng Hall and saw the posture in front of him, Fan Wencheng suddenly felt that he had done something wrong, something outrageous.

The sound of Dorgon coughing was heard, and the hall instantly became quiet.

Fan Wencheng found the regent Jierhalang standing in front, but Jierhalang had his eyes closed the whole time.

"Everyone, I invite you here today to discuss important matters, which are related to the life and death of the Qing Dynasty. Academicians Fan and Ning have presented memorials, analyzing the Denglai New Army stationed in Liaodong, and it is very likely that they will launch an attack on our Qing Dynasty.

Attack, if we, the Qing Dynasty, are not prepared, I am afraid that we will be destroyed by Denglai’s new army..."

The hall suddenly exploded, and several Manchu nobles scolded Fan Wencheng and Ning Wanwo without hesitation. In their opinion, what qualifications did Denglai's new army have to attack the Qing Dynasty? The Eight Banners Army of the Qing Dynasty could sweep across Denglai.

Lai Xinjun.

Dorgon had a smile on his face and did not immediately stop everyone's discussion. This was the effect he wanted. He had not launched a war for several years. Many Manchu nobles had fallen. They only knew how to enjoy life and did not know how to train sergeants.

, As for Fan Wencheng and Ning Wanwo, if they can arouse the anger of the Manchu nobles, they can be regarded as making a contribution.

Fan Wencheng's mind went blank, and drops of sweat broke out on his forehead.

After Ning finished, I felt different. I held my neck and spoke loudly.

"Prince Regent, the slave's memorial did not mention that the Qing Dynasty was destroyed by Denglai's new army..."

A figure rushed over, raised his hand and gave Ning Wan a big slap in the face.

"Snapped...."

Crisp applause echoed in the hall. After Ning Wan, my body shook a little, and the blood in my nose instantly came out.

"You bastard, who do you think you are? Do you dare to refute what the Lord Regent said? I think you don't want to live anymore. You dog slave, who gave you the courage? Did Hauge give it to you?"

.”

Dorgon looked at Bahana who was using his mouth and frowned slightly.

"Bahana, this is the Dazheng Palace, a place where people can talk. How unbecoming of you are you? Why don't you leave quickly..."

Bahana is the nephew of Nurhaci, the first-class Jia La Zhangjing with a white flag, the commander of the capital, and speaking of it, he is also the brother of Dorgon.

Bahana is Dorgon's confidant, everyone knows this.

"Your Majesty the Regent, Bahana is telling the truth. The court punished Hauge a few days ago. After this, I will speak for Hauge. I think he is up to no good..."

"What I'm saying is that Ning Wan, a Han Chinese, is not even a slave, but he just wants to destroy the Qing Dynasty..."

"Prince Regent, please drag me out and kill Fan Wencheng and I after we confuse the public with our monstrous words and talk nonsense, so there is no need to go on and on..."

Seeing everyone's anger rising, Dorgon's expression became serious.

"Okay, don't you understand what I just said? If you continue to cause trouble, I won't be polite..."

Jierhalang opened his eyes and looked at Fan Wencheng, who had his head lowered, and Ning Wanwo, who was holding his neck, with a trace of pity in his eyes.

Ning Wan and I were also stunned. He never imagined that such a situation would happen.

The hall finally became quiet.

Dorgon looked at Fan Wencheng and Ning Wanwo, with a smile on his face.

"Master Fan, Master Ning, everyone is also impatient and said some unpleasant words. Don't think too much about it. Today is a meeting at court to discuss important matters. You all can talk about it and explain the contents of the memorial in detail, so that we can

Everyone discussed carefully and came up with the best way to deal with it..."

I gritted my teeth, lowered my head, and said no more.

Fan Wencheng realized something was wrong, clasped his fists and spoke.

"Your Majesty the Regent, all my lords, this memorial submitted by the servants and Lord Ning is based on intelligence analysis. It is very likely that Denglai's new army stationed in Liaodong will cross the Liao River and take the initiative to launch an attack..."

"The Great Wu Court has unified the south and destroyed Li Zicheng and the Dashun Army, Zhang Xianzhong and the Great Western Army, and the Longwu Court. The slaves believe that the Great Wu Court will definitely covet our Qing Dynasty and are afraid that our powerful Qing Dynasty will initiate

The attack on Liaodong, so strike first to be stronger..."

"The intention of the servant and Master Ning is to remind the Regent and the court to pay attention to all this..."

In fact, Fan Wencheng and Ning Wan's memorials did not say that the Qing Congress was destroyed by Denglai's New Army. They did not dare to say such words, but if Dorgon said it, they could not refute it, otherwise they would die in an ugly way.

.

...

After Fan Wencheng finished speaking, Dorgon nodded knowingly.

The Manchu nobles had been provoked, and their emotions reached a climax. They ignored Fan Wencheng and Ning Wanwo, and changed the main targets of insults to the Wu court and the Denglai New Army. They were in a passionate mood, and they all clapped their chests to express their determination.

I hope to lead the troops across the Liao River and take the initiative to launch an attack on Liaodong.

Dorgon's goal was achieved.

...

When walking out of the Dazheng Hall, Fan Wencheng supported Ning Wanwo.

Bahana was the commander-in-chief with a white flag, and he was very powerful. This slap was definitely not light. After finishing Ning, the left side of my face was already swollen, and my eyes were narrowed to a slit.

We were far away from Dazheng Palace, and there was no one else around.

"Master Fan, I risk my life to say something. You and I have to consider our options. The Manchus don't treat us as human beings. No matter what we do, we will eventually be the target of their venting. I finally understand. Alas, this

It’s our own fault..."

When Ning finished speaking, blood bubbles were still coming out of his mouth.

Fan Wencheng's body trembled slightly.

"Master Ning, stop talking. I understand that we have come to this point and there is no turning back. Even if we don't care, what about our family? Are we going to let them suffer humiliation with us..."

After finishing Ning, I turned around and looked at Fan Wencheng.
