Fan Wencheng poured a glass of wine for himself and the host of the posthouse in front of him.
Putting down the wine bottle, he said: "It would be great if the court were all in charge and you were a dedicated person like you, but it's a pity that you and I can only sit here and drink."
"Ambassador Fan, don't worry too much. There are still many people in the court who support forming an alliance with you. Unfortunately, they are blocked by some traitors. But it doesn't matter. The court has the support of so many ministers and the support of countless people among the people. I believe that the Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty will Forming an alliance is a matter of time." said the director of the post house.
He picked up the wine glass and clinked it with Fan Wencheng.
At this moment, there was a rush of footsteps outside the house.
As footsteps approached, the door of the house was pushed open from the outside.
A bald man with a small tail on the back of his head walked in from outside the house.
The man who entered the room glanced at the manager of his post house from the back of his head, but said nothing.
Fan Wencheng, who was facing him, naturally noticed this action.
Fan Wencheng shook his head slightly at him, indicating that he should not say anything if he had anything to say, and then continued to pick up the wine glass and start drinking with the owner of the post house.
Although the manager of the post house noticed the sound of the door and knew that someone was coming in, he did not pay attention.
After Fan Wencheng said a few more words to him, he asked to go to the toilet.
For this reason, the manager of the post house even joked with Fan Wencheng with a smile, thinking that he would not be able to survive just after drinking two glasses of wine.
Fan Wencheng came outside the house, and the man in the house followed him out.
"What's the matter?" Fan Wencheng asked straight to the point.
The man whispered: "I just got the news that the Tiger Bandits are preparing to leave Daming."
"Where did you get this news?" Fan Wencheng frowned, suspecting that the source of the news was untrue.
He couldn't think of any reason for the people of the Tiger Flag to leave the Ming Dynasty.
The imperial court's suspension of peace talks and alliances had no impact on the Tiger-Charactered Banner. Even if it had an impact on the Qing Dynasty, it would have far more impact than the Tiger-Charactered Banner.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Tiger Flag needs time to digest the several provinces it has acquired, and the Qing Dynasty is eager to form an alliance with the Ming Dynasty, so it will not give the Tiger Flag this time, so even if there is no peace talks, the Tiger Flag will not be affected .
At present, the Ming court was obviously in favor of the Tiger Flag. At this time, the envoys sent by the Tiger Flag suddenly wanted to leave the Ming Dynasty, which was tantamount to giving up on continuing the peace talks with the Ming Dynasty. He could not think of any reason for the Tiger Flag to do this.
Seeing that Fan Wencheng didn't believe it, the man said: "This news was obtained by our people from the Wei Guogong Mansion. The person who brought the news said that the man surnamed Hong from Tiger Flag Banner proposed that the peace talks were suspended. Give up the peace talks and go back to the Tiger Flag."
"Is he crazy?" Fan Wencheng frowned.
He really couldn't understand the reason why the envoy of the Tiger Character Banner did this.
The man said: "No matter why the people in the Tiger Flag leave, it is beneficial to us. Mr. Fan, do you think we can take this opportunity to work harder on the alliance with the Ming Dynasty and promote the success of the alliance with the Ming Dynasty."
"There is no rush to form an alliance. You can find a way to find out why the people in the Tiger Flag are in a hurry to leave the Ming Dynasty and find out what happened here." Fan Wencheng said to him.
The man who heard this was stunned.
He said: "It is a good thing for us that the people of the Tiger Character Banner leave. If we don't take this opportunity to quickly promote the alliance with the Ming Dynasty, why should we care what the Tiger Character Banner does!"
He felt that Fan Wencheng was putting the cart before the horse.
The purpose of their coming to the Ming Dynasty was to promote an alliance between the Qing Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty. Now that they had such a good opportunity, he wondered why Fan Wencheng insisted on studying the departure of the Tiger-Character Banner envoy.
"Things are not that simple. There must be a reason for Hu Ziqi's sudden departure. It may be more useful for us to find out why he left." Fan Wencheng explained to him.
If it were an ordinary follower, he would naturally not be able to explain anything.
The man in front of him was a serious Manchu. Although his official position was not as high as his own, his status in the Qing Dynasty was much higher than that of a Han scholar.
"How could someone from the Tiger Flag say something like this? If something really happened, it would be too late to hide it, and it would be impossible to tell anyone about it." The man said with a dissatisfied look on his face.
I feel that Fan Wencheng is just a dog meddling in other people's business.
"No, this matter is very important and must be clarified. If you have any opinions, you can explain it to the emperor when you get back." Fan Wencheng stared at the man in front of him and said.
Although he was the official envoy of the envoys sent by the Qing Dynasty to the Ming Dynasty, the Manchus who came to the Ming Dynasty with him were in a league of their own. In many cases, he had to move out of Huang Taiji to barely suppress these Manchus.
"I will try my best to find out, but I can't guarantee that I will be able to figure out the reason." The man said to Fan Wencheng impatiently.
Although he felt that Fan Wencheng was making a fuss out of a molehill, he thought of his master's instructions when he arrived and decided to give Fan Wencheng this face.
Fan Wencheng breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this.
Although he had a headache with these Manchus, he still had to use them.
He also understood that the Manchus in the team might also have Huang Taiji's intention to monitor him.
After sending the man away, Fan Wencheng returned to the house and continued drinking with the owner of the post house.
However, with something on his mind, he was no longer in the mood to drink.
After having a few more drinks with the owner of the post house, he took the initiative to close the cup and stopped drinking.
The manager of the post house also saw that he seemed to have something to do, so he took the wine bottle and agreed to drink together next time.
After sending the people away, Fan Wencheng kept guessing about the reason why the envoy of the Tiger Character Banner left.
Although he couldn't think of it at the moment, something big must have happened in the meantime for Hu Zi Qi to insist on leaving the Ming Dynasty and return to Hu Zi Qi under such a favorable situation.
Unable to figure out the reason, he could only continue to wait for news from the people below.
The Tiger Character Banner planted secret spies in Nanjing, and the Qing Dynasty also planted its own spies in Nanjing.
When the imperial court decided to postpone the peace talks with Huzi Banner, Hong Chengchou knew that he had an excuse to leave.
"Have everything been packed away?" Hong Chengchou asked Yang Jiachen.
Yang Jiachen nodded and said, "We don't have much to take away, and we started packing it up early in the morning. When should we leave?"
"Wait a moment." Hong Chengchou said.
Yang Jiachen asked: "Things have been packed and ready to leave at any time. Who should we wait for?" '
"We have to wait until others persuade us before leaving, otherwise others will think something happened to us!" Hong Chengchou said to Yang Jiachen.
Although Yang Jiachen felt that Hong Chengchou was taking off his pants to fart, it was completely unnecessary.
But he knew that a person like Hong Chengchou, who was full of evil thoughts, must have a reason for doing this, so he just had to obey the orders.
