I'm afraid no one expected that the Qing Dynasty's careful planning would end in this way.

Especially in the end, Dorgon apologized to Xu Changqing in public, which made many people think more.

The day after the farce ended, Dorgon took the initiative to contact Xu Changqing to conduct in-depth consultations, and everyone sat down and jointly determined some issues.

Unfortunately, cracks have already emerged. It is difficult to maintain a relationship that is already full of gaps, and it is destined to be just a formality.

However, it is impossible to break up at this time. The two sides reached some agreement and resolved some minor border disputes, which can be considered as an explanation to all parties.

As soon as the talks ended that afternoon, Ma Shiying took the initiative to come to the door.

Xu Changqing had expected this, so he did not make things difficult for Ma Ge. He smiled and personally welcomed him into the hall.

As soon as he entered the hall, the aeros that Ma Shiying had been holding on for the past two days instantly collapsed. He quickly admitted his mistakes and wanted to kneel down for Xu Changqing.

But he didn't mention anything wrong he made.

Xu Changqing smiled and said, "Master Ma, it's a shame to say this. To be honest, I was very angry when I heard about the Tartars' tricks. But after these two days, I thought about it carefully and felt much better. After all, it was because I, Xu Changqing, had some things not done well, which made many colleagues in Jiangnan resentful to me."

When Ma Shiying heard Xu Changqing's words, his heart was relieved a lot in his throat.

He was afraid that Xu Changqing would be like a naughty person, and would be indifferent to the military, but at this time, Xu Changqing obviously understood the power of it, so he was not too worried.

He smiled and said, "Mr. Marquis, this matter is really true. The officials and others have not done their job well, and many court officials are influenced by the civil trend. Marquis, don't worry, when you return to Nanjing, the officials will definitely increase their efforts and deal with this work well."

Xu Changqing smiled and looked at Ma Shiying's eyes.

Ma Shiying hurriedly lowered her head humbly.

After a moment, Xu Changqing smiled and said, "Old Ma, I feel at ease with you. You also put your heart in your stomach. You and I just have different political views and have not yet risen to the level of a life-and-death enemy. I don't care about the rest, at least, in the overall situation, I hope that we can maintain consistency!"

Ma Shiying naturally understood Xu Changqing's profound meaning and gave a heavy greeting: "Mr. Marquis, I know..."

...

After seeing off Ma Shiying, Xu Changqing let out a long breath of turbid air.

If Ma Shiying didn't participate in this matter, Xu Changqing didn't believe it, but Ma Shiying was an old fried dough stick and was extremely stingy. Xu Changqing didn't catch him until now.

Speaking of this, we need to talk about the current trend of Jiangnan.

In the Ming Dynasty, Zhengde began as a watershed.

When Zhengde moves forward, it is basically old-fashioned and awkward. All kinds of things are the same as those of Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang and Chengzu Zhu Di, which are based on "Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism" as the core blueprint.

However, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di were not very confident about this thing when they used Cheng and Zhu Neo-Confucianism. They tried a lot of tricks in the middle to eliminate all things that threatened the imperial power.

However, even if they are as strong as them, they are deceived by the literati and do not understand the true core of Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism - "To encircle imperial power as a mascot, they should still use their civil servants to govern the country."

This leads to many logical differences in it.

As the moral virtue began, many social contradictions became sharp, and many knowledgeable people of the Ming Dynasty no longer had their thoughts trapped in the Neo-Confucianism of Cheng and Zhu, but began to find their own way.

The most direct image is reflected in the imperial examination.

Textbooks are gradually no longer the versions of the Ming Dynasty, but are more inclined to the old versions of the Song Dynasty, and a retro style emerges.

This led to the liberation of the wave of thought, and a master of mind like Wang Yangming emerged.

At the beginning of Wanli, this trend of freedom was even more intense, almost a little bit like a blooming rhythm.

Unfortunately, it was supposed to be a more advanced era, but it was because of the rise of the Qing Dynasty that everything was destroyed.

After the establishment of the Nanjing court, Xu Changqing was in charge of Jiangbei. His military, political and economic gradually stabilized and continued to recover. This trend of liberation began to become popular again. Many people had the determination to start a sect and wanted to take their own avenue.

Xu Changqing was naturally encouraging about this.

But while a hundred flowers bloom, there will definitely be monsters.

The biggest reason why Ma Shiying dared to come here in person at this time is that he had a lot of support behind him.

Of course, the more important thing is that he is confident that Xu Changqing cannot grasp his handle.

As for why he had to bear such a great risk to do such a thing, and even communicated with the Qing Dynasty, the essential reason was to go further, including allowing the cabinet to gain more rights.

If you want to achieve this goal, you will not succeed without getting Xu Changqing down.

Xu Changqing would not do anything to Ma Shiying directly at this time.

How long did Zhu Yuanzhang plan to deal with Hu Weiyong? That was still his power and everything was under control.

Where is it now?

As long as they cannot control the military power, Xu Changqing will let them do whatever they want.

Xu Changqing also wanted to see what kind of things would be born if this free tide was allowed to grow wildly!

...

It was soon September 29th, and it was the day of the wedding.

After a few days, the opposition between the Ming and Qing dynasties temporarily dissipated a little, and they both began to prepare for the marriage.

Of course, all the evil marriage customs at this time had long been wiped out by the Qing Dynasty itself.

They never dared to provoke Xu Changqing again, and just hoped that things would pass smoothly.

Even the wedding ceremony was saved and only carried out in this palace.

The reason given by Dorgon looked a little weird, but it was very consistent with Xu Changqing's wishes. "There are no ordinary people in Dagukou, who should I show it to you? I'd better cause less trouble."

But even so, after all, it was dark after working hard.

Before entering the bridal chamber, Dorgon and Kong Youde stopped in front of Xu Changqing.

Dorgon held the wine glass and smiled, "Mr. Marquis, there are many misunderstandings between you and me, including the Qing Dynasty and your Ming Kingdom. However, I am very satisfied with Dong'e's ability to find a husband like you. Therefore, before entering the bridal chamber, you should have a drink with me and King Gongshun."

Kong Youde didn't speak, but this is obviously the same.

Xu Changqing glanced at the two of them and couldn't help but feel happy.

These two guys lost completely by this time.

Kong Youde is better, but Dorgon has lost nothing. Not only has he won any military and national affairs, but his relationship with Dong'e is almost collapsed.

In fact, Xu Changqing could understand Dorgon.

To a certain extent, marrying Dong'e to himself was Dorgon's greatest effort to his daughter.

He was just the Regent, not the real King.

In addition, the father's love for his daughter is something that is difficult to express, that is, the heart like Dorgon can last until this time.

"The Regent's words are reasonable, and this wine should indeed be drunk."

Xu Changqing took the wine glass handed over by the maid, touched Dorgon, and then Kong Youde. The three of them looked at each other and drank it all in one go.

After drinking a few glasses of wine in succession, Xu Changqing smiled and said, "Speaking of this, I have a few words. I want to tell you and King Gongshun, what does the Regent think?"

Dorgon narrowed his eyes.

Kong Youde was shocked and hurriedly said, "Regent, the slave will avoid it first."

Dorgon ignored Kong Youde, and Xu Changqing did not try to keep Kong Youde and allowed him to retreat.

Dorgon's eyelids were sucked

He sucked and said with a smile: "Mr. Marquis, please speak."

Xu Changqing waved his hand and signaled the maid to bring the wine pot over, picked it up, poured Dorgon a glass, and filled it with one glass himself.

At this time, the maids and eunuchs around had already hid far away.

Xu Changqing and Dorgon clinked a glass of wine and smiled, "Regent, I admire you very much. If it weren't for you, the Qing Dynasty would be just a problem of leper to me, the Ming Dynasty. I would like to toast you this glass of wine."

Dorgon frowned immediately. After a moment, he drank the wine in the glass, but did not speak, and only looked at Xu Changqing.

Xu Changqing continued: "Regent, I'm afraid no one in the world can be as similar to you and me. But I, Xu Changqing, have the confidence to protect Dong E all my life. I wonder if you are the Regent?"

Dorgon's expression had changed drastically. He looked at Xu Changqing coldly, and for a moment, gritted his teeth and said, "Xu Changqing, I know what you want to do, but I won't let you do it. You go, you have nothing to say. At that time, even if you die on the battlefield, I will have no regrets."

"Haha. The Regent's heroic spirit."

Xu Changqing did not leave, stared straight into Dorgon's eyes and said, "As the Regent, you are qualified. At this time, the Qing Dynasty has made great contributions. However, as Dong'e's father, you are not qualified at all! Your performance is like a clown, no, saying that clowns have beautified you, you are like a slaughter. Although I can understand you, I will not forgive you."

Dorgon's face was flushed and he was about to get angry.

Xu Changqing disregarded and continued: "This may be the last face-to-face conversation in our life. I actually have a lot of things to say to you, but at this point, looking at your cautious appearance, I don't want to tell you anymore.

In this way, for Dong'e's sake, I will give you a promise.

In the future, I will step on the Eight Banners tribes and I will leave you a whole body. In addition, if your godson is doing something, I will also leave it for you, as a matter of leaving you a lineage of incense.

However, for our friendship for so many years, I still advise you to give birth to a son by yourself. In the end, you can’t even have a bird’s hair left. Then that’s it.”

As he said that, Xu Changqing was about to leave.

"Slow down!"

Dorgon blushed and suddenly shouted coldly.

"oh?"

Xu Changqing smiled and turned around, "What else does the Regent have to explain?"

Dorgon looked at Xu Changqing's eyes, his anger gradually calmed down and his face began to return to normal.

Xu Changqing also admired this guy's patience a little. This is simply the "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle".

But Xu Changqing's words did not only stimulate him, there were also many core news.

"Why."

Dorgon suddenly sighed, and his whole body seemed to have been several years old, and his sharpness was broken.

He smiled bitterly: "Xu Changqing, I never thought that the person who knows me the most is you... You also have a daughter, and I want to understand my feelings. Forget it, it's useless to say this. I have thought about what you said many times every night, but I never dare to look at it... But today you say it may not sound nice, but I know it is right. I will think about what you said carefully."

As he said, he poured Xu Changqing a glass of wine and filled it with himself: "You are right. Maybe this is the last face-to-face conversation in our life. I also want to tell you something. Xu Changqing, you are a hero in the world and a hero in the world. I hope you... don't abuse Dong'e just because of me. If I lose, do what you say. I will add another one. All I have to do is leave to Dong'e for me, or to you and Dong'e's children. If you lose..."
