As soon as Liu Hongxun and other negotiators arrived in Ningyuan, Yuan Chonghuan sent someone to notify Huang Taiji that the imperial envoy had arrived and asked him to send him over to negotiate.

The person who asked for peace talks was Huang Taiji himself. He could not have arrived, but he was unprepared. So he ordered two Belle Amin and two Han ministers, one was Hu Gongming and the other was Gao Shijun. Both of them were Han ministers who advocated negotiations with the Ming court, so Huang Taiji arranged them as Amin's deputy.

On the first day of the negotiation, there was not much conflict between the two sides in terms of etiquette. At most, Amin became a little arrogant in his attitude towards Liu Hongxun and others.

Although the Later Jin Dynasty suffered a considerable loss this time, its strength was still there. The Ming army only achieved a huge victory in stages, but it lost the military city of Jinzhou, and there was also a pseudo-Ming court. The country was very uneasy. Huang Taiji could unite with the Ming court in Nanjing to fight against Zhu Yinglong's Ming regime in Beijing, so Amin naturally did not take Liu Hongxun and others seriously. However, the peace talks were proposed by his own side, so he was quite good at etiquette. Liu Hongxun also knew the current situation of the two armies. Although the war was in a ceasefire, there were constant frictions. There were hundreds of casualties on both sides, but both sides were still restrained. Only then did the formal negotiations between the two armies begin.

The first step in the peace talks was to figure out who started the war, who initiated the war first, and who should bear the responsibility to provoke the war. This was originally an obvious thing. Huang Taiji led his troops to lightning raid Jinzhou, and then went south to siege Ningyuan, and tried to capture Shanhaiguan. The war was obviously initiated by the Later Jin, but Amin refused to admit it, saying that the war was initiated by the Ming army, which means that the construction of a city in Jinzhou and the Daling River area threatened the security of the Later Jin, and also gradually entrapped their land. They were taking back their land and defending their own security, so the responsibility for provoking the war was with the Ming army.

Liu Hongxun argued based on reason and proposed that Kaiyuan, Tieling, Fushun, Shenyang, Liaoyang and other cities were the original territory of the Ming Dynasty. Huang Taiji's ancestor was also the hereditary governor of Jianzhou, and was an official enthroned by the Ming Dynasty. In this way, the regime of the Later Jin Dynasty was simply a local regime of the Ming Dynasty. How could a country threaten its own local security? It is even more nonsense!

Amin believed that what Liu Hongxun said was simply absurd statement. If history was counted, their ancestors once ruled half of the Han people north of the Yangtze River. As their descendants, they did so to get back the country that their ancestors once had. What's wrong with this?

The first line of the peace talks was in a deadlock. It was determined who started the battle first. It was not only a few lines of black and white on the surface, but also for the next step, who cares about whom should compensate. Later Jin was determined to compensate. Of course, he would not admit that he had deliberately launched the battle. The bottom line given by the court by the court was that he could never suffer any loss, so it was even more impossible for Liu Hongxun to recite the fault that was not his own. At the negotiation table, the face was flushed. The negotiations ended unhappily on the first day, and agreed to talk three days later. The atmosphere on the front line of Ningyuan was tight.

The special envoys of both sides reported the results of the first day of negotiation to their respective lords. Zhu Yinglong received a memorial from Liu Hongxun and others. When he opened it, he knew that there was no progress in the negotiation. So he summoned Sun Chengzong, Xu Guangqi and others to discuss overnight. At present, Liaodong could no longer use any war. Xiong Zhaolian sent him a secret letter from Yangzhou, saying that Wei Zhongxian from Nanjing was ready to move and dispatch troops and intended to go north. Although Xiong Zhaolian had 40,000 to 50,000 troops in his hands, he was a little stretched and asked the court to send an army south to support.

"Emperor, the biggest difference now is who should bear the responsibility of provoking war. This responsibility is absolutely unrecognizable to the emperor and the court. This is not just a matter of the face and dignity of the court. It is related to the support of the people in the world. If the court admits that it is the one who provokes the war, what will the people think? They will think that the court will ignore the lives and death of the people, be in a state of war, and spend so many people to destroy a place and spend so much money. If it is used, the vitality that the court has just accumulated must be put into vain!" Yang He, Minister of Justice, said.

"Since Yang Aiqing's words, how can we continue to discuss this peace?" Zhu Yinglong frowned slightly and said, "Does I have to put all the blame on the dead emperor?"

"This..." Yang He was immediately run so hard that he couldn't speak.

"Emperor, the late emperor is at fault, but the mistake is not entirely on the late emperor, but on the eunuch Wei Zhongxian!" said Chen Yangmei, the censor of the Left Capital.

"What's wrong with the late emperor? I would like to ask Lord Chen, the Later Jin Dynasty was ambitious and tried to break away from the control of the court. The court sent a large army to suppress it. What's wrong with this?" Huang Zunsu pointed at Chen Yangmei and asked, "What's now discussing how to make the Later Jin Dynasty admit that they were provoking the battle, rather than the court has already admitted that it was the one who provoked the battle. Discuss who will take the responsibility. Lord Chen, you have to figure out the essence of the matter!"

Chen Yangmei was asked by Huang Zunsu, and her face turned red. Huang Zunsu asked every question to the essence of the matter, and she said the wrong thing.

"Huang Aiqing said it well. The peace talks were proposed by Huang Taiji. Since they are so insincere, what do we mean by me? " Zhu Yinglong thought for a while and promoted peace with war is one of the basic strategies of military strategists.

"Your Majesty, you must not. If you provoke a war at this time, wouldn't you give someone a handle?" Yang He advised anxiously.

"What do you think you should do?" Zhu Yinglong responded to him angrily. Yang He suddenly lost his voice and lowered his head awkwardly.

"I have an idea that I don't know whether to say it or not." Among the many ministers that Zhu Yinglong relied on, Shi Kefa was the youngest, because he was too young and had a slight slight word. Although he was in the third rank, it was because he was once a person from the emperor's residence. Although he had outstanding abilities, he tried to speak as little as possible in some important occasions. Maybe this was the reason why he became cautious after entering the officialdom.

"Xianzhi, tell me quickly, I'll listen." Zhu Yinglong spoke at Shi Kefa and immediately said happily.

"It doesn't matter who provokes the battle. First, the situation in the court is somewhat similar to that of Emperor Taizong of Tang Li Shimin after the Xuanwu Gate Incident. It has internal and external troubles. There are hundreds of thousands of troops of Jie Li Khan from the Turks, and there are rebels of the crown prince general Luo Yi. Emperor Taizong of Tang has an extraordinary heart and formed a brotherly alliance with Jie Li Khan under the city of Chang'an. Later, under the rule of Emperor Taizong, the Tang Dynasty first quelled Luo Yi's rebellion, and then led his army to fight against the Turks, achieving the great achievements of an immortal emperor. I think that the emperor can learn from history!" Shi Kefa said.

Sun Chengzong, the chief minister of the cabinet, had always closed his eyes and listened to the court officials' arguments. When he heard Shi Kefa's words, his eyes suddenly opened. Although his thoughts were similar to him, if he had to say it, he was definitely not as good as Shi Kefa said. He was flattered and did not leak water. He was very close to the point. In the end, he even attributed all the credit to the emperor. He would not arouse the jealousy of the ministers. It was even more rare that he was upright and had an unconventional behavior. This was even more rare. No wonder the emperor gave him such an important position in Shuntian Mansion.

"Xianzhi said so well. I will issue an order to Liu Hongxun. Is it necessary for the two brothers to fight against counterfeiting? Is it right or wrong for each other? They are brothers of flesh and blood. Why can't we sit down peacefully and resolve the conflict? Do you think so?" How could Zhu Yinglong not understand the meaning of Shi Kefa's words? He laughed.

"Emperor, will this increase Huang Taiji's value?" Chen Yangmei said dissatisfied.

"If Emperor Taizong of Tang can do things, can't I do it?" Zhu Yinglong said a little unhappy.

"I don't dare!" Although Chen Yangmei was a bit old-fashioned, she was not an idiot. If he objected again, wouldn't he say that Zhu Yinglong, the emperor, was not as good as Emperor Taizong of Tang? For this great emperor in history, emperors from later generations took him as an example. Even if he thought that Zhu Yinglong was not as good as Emperor Taizong of Tang, he would not dare to say it in person.

"Emperor, Jie Li is Jie Li, Huang Taiji is Huang Taiji, the two cannot be confused, let alone..." Sun Shenxing still disagreed with this approach. How could the emperor of the Ming Dynasty be called brothers and brothers with a barbarian chief? Wouldn't this damage the face and dignity of a great country!

"Besides, I am not Emperor Taizong of Tang, right?" Although Zhu Yinglong hated Sun Shenxing's so-called persistence, he couldn't help but kill him, such a person is a mirror. Although he always sings opposite to him most of the time, having such a person around him at least can at least whip himself, so that he can have a buffer time before thinking about it and putting it into action, so that he can think carefully, think twice before acting, and avoid doing something wrong impulsively.

"The old minister dare not!"

"I can tell you that I am not imitating Emperor Taizong of Tang. I am the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. No matter how I do, I have nothing to do with Emperor Taizong of Tang. I decided to do this myself. In your eyes, Huang Taiji is a barbarian and Hu chief, but in my eyes, he is my opponent, a brother, remember that he is my opponent, a brother, not an enemy, and the Jin people are also an important clan in China. There is nothing wrong with being brothers and brothers with their own clan members. I have a wish for a long time, that is, in my lifetime, unify the entire China. Any yellow-skinned and dark-eyed ones will become my people. I want them to stand under the same blue sky and live a rich and happy life without being bullied. Have you heard it clearly?" Zhu Yinglong glanced at the ministers and said loudly.
