After speaking, Qian Qianyi sat aside and looked at the guarding eunuch Yang Guorui.
From the bottom of his heart, he was unwilling to be inferior to a eunuch, but he knew that he had just become the auxiliary minister and could not compete with the guarding eunuch for the time being. If he wanted to secure his position as auxiliary minister, he would inevitably need the other party's help.
"Will the Qing Dynasty agree to work with the Ming Dynasty to deal with the tiger bandits?" Yang Guorui, the guarding eunuch, frowned.
Qian Qianyi said: "As military strategists say, the enemy of the enemy can be a friend. The Qing Dynasty just fought against the tiger thieves not long ago. I heard that it suffered a lot of losses. If we, the Ming Dynasty, proposed to cooperate with the Qing Dynasty to deal with the tiger thieves, That slave chief Taiji has no reason to disagree."
"You won't do anything without benefit, right?" Yang Guorui, the guarding eunuch, said, "What benefits are you going to promise that slave chief?"
Qian Qianyi thought for a while and said: "Dealing with the tiger thieves is in the common interests of the Ming and Qing Dynasties. In addition, I think we can agree to the slave thieves and hand over Liaodong to them. We will only leave Shanhaiguan, so that the Qing Dynasty can The soldiers were still kept out of the pass, and the court also saved a lot of Liao pay."
"Our family has no objection to this condition, but have you ever thought about it. If Liaodong is ceded to the Qing Dynasty, many officials in the court will seize this point to criticize you." Yang Guorui, the guarding eunuch, looked at Qian Qian with a smile. beneficial.
After hearing this, Qian Qianyi cursed the old fox in his heart.
The other party obviously did not intend to get involved in this matter. After the Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty jointly solved the Tiger Flag, he was finally allowed to bear the charge of colluding with the slaves and thieves to cede the territory.
Although such a crime may not necessarily cost him his life, he will definitely be forced to lose his official position and return home by others in the court.
The current emperor is young, and as long as nothing unexpected happens, he has the opportunity to stay in the position of assistant minister for more than ten years. However, if he loses his official position because of dealing with the Tiger Flag, he is unwilling to do such a loss-making business.
The guarding eunuch Yang Guorui is mature and mature.
Seeing that Qian Qianyi didn't speak, he could more or less guess what the other party was thinking.
However, he brought Qian Qianyi to the position of assistant minister just to do things for him, so how could he allow Qian Qianyi to back down.
He said directly: "As long as Mr. Qian Ge can regain the Northern Capital and welcome back the Supreme Emperor, no matter what method he uses, I believe he will leave his mark in history. Even if there are a few jealous people in the court who criticize him, I believe he has made great achievements in regaining the mountains and rivers. There is no such thing as No matter what people will do to you, not to mention you are still the auxiliary minister and the chief minister of the cabinet. If you are still worried, you can take advantage of the situation and destroy the Qing Dynasty. By then, others will have no excuses."
He knew that civil servants had the best reputation, so he specially took out the banner of Qing Shi's name.
"This!" Qian Qianyi hesitated.
He wanted to leave his name in history, but he was unwilling to take risks.
What the other party said was indeed very good, which made his heart move, but his reason reminded him that the Tiger Character Flag was not that easy to deal with. Even the Qing Dynasty, which had caused Ming Dynasty to suffer losses many times, was defeated in front of the Tiger Character Flag. Even if the Qing Dynasty and the Tiger Character Flag Even if Ming Dynasty joins forces, they may not be completely sure to solve the Tiger Flag.
There is another problem at the same time.
Who can guarantee that after the Qing Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty jointly solved the Tiger Character Banner, they would not go south and take away the Ming Dynasty's Beidu and several northern border towns.
There are vivid examples of Song, Jin and Song Meng joining forces in the history books. How could he not understand such lessons?
Seeing that he was still thinking, the guarding eunuch Yang Guorui's face darkened and he said: "Mr. Qian Ge, don't forget what you said in public in the court, and don't forget what you promised our family."
"My father-in-law has misunderstood. I am just thinking about who should be sent to contact the Qing Dynasty." Qian Qianyi saw an unhappy look on the face of Eunuch Yang in front of him, and quickly made an excuse for himself.
The guarding eunuch Yang Guorui looked at Qian Qianyi with half-squinted eyes and said: "Qian Ge will hurry up to contact the Qing Dynasty. Our family is waiting for your good news, but we must not let our family wait too long."
After speaking, he picked up the tureen on the table again.
At this time, a young eunuch in the room stood up, raised his hand and made a gesture of invitation, and said: "Qian Ge, please invite me!"
Qian Qianyi stood up from his seat, then bowed slightly to Yang Guorui, the eunuch who was sitting on the seat, and said: "I'll excuse you."
After saying that, he followed the little eunuch and left the room.
Because he was delayed for some time in the palace, he left the palace later than others.
When he returned to his mansion, there were already officials waiting in his mansion who had gone to court first.
After returning home, Qian Qianyi first changed out of his court clothes, ate a few snacks, and drank a few sips of tea. Then, accompanied by the housekeeper of the mansion, he went to the study room where guests were waiting.
"Mr. Ge!"
"teacher!"
As soon as he entered the room, everyone waiting in the room stood up and greeted him.
"Congratulations, teacher, for achieving your wish and becoming an auxiliary minister of the DPRK." Ying Tianfu Prime Minister Qu Shichu congratulated Qian Qianyi with a smile on his face.
As a student of Qian Qianyi, his teacher became an assistant minister, and he also followed the rising tide.
"Okay, okay, forget about being the chief minister of the cabinet, becoming the auxiliary minister is a very normal thing." Qian Qianyi said modestly, "Everyone, sit down!"
If the corners of his mouth were not so happy that they almost burst into laughter, these words might have more credibility.
Qian Qianyi walked to the host's seat and sat down.
The butler brought him a cup of hot tea, placed it on the table, and then stepped aside.
"Mr. Ge, why did Eunuch Yang keep you here?" Gao Hongtu asked.
Qu Shichun on the side heard this and asked curiously: "Teacher, are you back so late because Eunuch Yang kept you here?"
As Ying Tianfu Cheng, unless there are special reasons, he generally does not have the opportunity to participate in court meetings.
"Eunuch Yang did leave me behind and said something." Qian Qianyi nodded slightly and said immediately, "You also know that it is because of Eunuch Yang's efforts that I can become the auxiliary minister. Today, in court, If it weren’t for Eunuch Yang’s support, it might not be so easy for me, the auxiliary minister, to ascend to the position.”
"The Emperor's handwriting was also sent by Eunuch Yang." Qu Shishu nodded and said.
Gao Hongtu asked: "I wonder what Eunuch Yang said when he left Elder Ge behind? Could it be related to sending troops to the north?"
"You're right." Qian Qianyi said, "Eunuch Yang wanted me to make arrangements to go north to welcome the Emperor back as soon as possible. I wanted to find an excuse to delay it for a while, but unfortunately Eunuch Yang didn't give me this time at all. .”
As he spoke, he shook his head and sighed.
"Eunuch Yang is so eager to take action against the tiger thief!" Qu Shishu frowned, "The tiger thief is not that easy to deal with. At present, no army in the Ming Dynasty can face the tiger thief's troops alone."
