Chapter 567 Ming Dynasty: The Emperor Guards the National Gate (56)
Seeing that Zhiyu had no intention of giving in, Huang Taiji's attitude turned cold. "In that case, there is nothing more to discuss."
After saying that, Huang Taiji stood up and was about to leave the teahouse with Dorgon.
Seeing this, Zhiyu stood there in a daze, somewhat dejected. He opened his mouth to call Huang Taiji back, but the words could not come out.
It was not until Huang Taiji's figure disappeared from the street that Zhiyu changed his attitude and poured himself a cup of tea naturally.
"System, have you found the person I asked you to find?"
"drop---"
"Zhiyu, I checked it out. I found several."
Zhiyu was very satisfied with the system's reply.
"In that case, I will write an imperial edict after I return and have these people build ships."

On the way back, seeing Huang Taiji's serious face and silent expression, Dorgon couldn't help but ask curiously, "Great Khan, are you ready to cooperate with the Ming Emperor now?"
Huang Taiji shook his head and said, "Of course I am interested in cooperation."
Dorgon was puzzled, "Then you just..."
At this point, Dorgon suddenly paused, then looked at Huang Taiji as if he had suddenly realized something, "Great Khan, you did that on purpose just now, in order to let the young emperor of the Ming Dynasty increase his bargaining chips."
Huang Taiji neither confirmed nor denied Dorgon's words.
"Fourteenth brother, you've been in the Ming Dynasty for a few days. What do you think of this young emperor of the Ming Dynasty?"
Hearing Huang Taiji ask this, Dorgon couldn't help but recall everything he had seen in the Ming Dynasty.
"This little emperor of the Ming Dynasty is quite clever."
"If she were a man, I'm afraid she would be a formidable enemy of our Later Jin in the future."
"It's a pity that the Ming Dynasty has always valued men over women. Even if she ascended to the supreme position, no one would be convinced."
"Otherwise..., she wouldn't be begging us now."
Thinking of the arrows shot at him from Ningyuan City that day, and the news he had learned in the past few days, as well as Wei Zhongxian's silence, Huang Taiji sighed deeply.
"How could she be stupid to be able to become the emperor as a woman in such an environment as the Ming Dynasty?"
"It's a pity that her identity as a woman is a natural shackle..."
"But it's good too. With her as the empress, I think there will be less resistance when the Later Jin army attacks the Central Plains in the future."
"Fourteenth brother, in a few days, send someone to contact her privately to see if she is willing to increase the stakes."
Thinking of the indifferent woman he had just seen in the teahouse, Dorgon asked uncertainly, "No matter how much she wants to be in power, she won't choose to pay tribute to us every year, right?"
"If she does that, it might shake her throne, and she's not stupid."
Huang Taiji smiled coldly, "She is not stupid."
"But the officials of the Ming Dynasty are not stupid. How could they allow a woman to sit in that position?"
"If she doesn't take power now, the Ming officials will sooner or later find a way to depose her after the battle."
"I heard that the one currently acting as regent in the Imperial City of Daming is none other than the Eighth Sage King of Daming."
"Do you think that after the Eighth Sage King becomes regent, he will cultivate his own power..."
"The throne of the young emperor of the Ming Dynasty was taken from her brother. The Eighth Wise King might have such thoughts."
Huang Taiji sneered and said in a very mocking tone: "To be honest, the carpenter emperor of the Ming Dynasty was also a fool. He sat on that position, but he was pulled down by his own brothers and sisters. He was really stupid."
"If I were the Khan, anyone who dared to have such thoughts would be thrown to the wolves by the Khan."
Listening to the cold voice beside him, Dorgon groaned in his heart. What the Khan said was not about the Ming Dynasty...
