Chapter 347 The Grand Tutor, the Clown
The next day, at the peace talks, Hauge anxiously awaited the Ming Dynasty official to preside over the talks.
Huang Taiji attached great importance to this peace negotiation because the Dorgon brothers were strongly advocating for an attack on the Ming Dynasty. Huang Taiji was not about to be fooled by Dorgon; if he were to give Dorgon military power, he would lose his position as Emperor of the Qing Dynasty. Therefore, Huang Taiji dispatched Hauge and Fan Wencheng to the Ming Dynasty, repeatedly urging them to ensure the success of the peace negotiations.
Hauge frowned, glared at Kong Zhenyun, and said irritably, "Lord Kong, are all your Ming officials so slow? What time is it? Your Ming officials who are in charge of the peace talks are still not here!"
Kong Zhenyun shook his head with a wry smile and said to Wu Sangui, "General Wu, could you go and urge them again?"
Wu Sangui nodded and walked out of the room.
Wu Sangui gained some merit from his trip to Liaodong with Wang Wenzhou and was promoted to General of Shanhaiguan. For this peace negotiation, some matters, such as the transport of grain through Shanhaiguan, required Wu Sangui's participation.
Wu Sangui mounted his horse and arrived at the residence of Duke Zhongyi.
Liu Xiaohua has officially become Duke Zhongyi, and Wang Wenzhou has been appointed as the Imperial Preceptor.
"Young Master Qiang, where is your young master?" Wu Sangui asked.
Wang Qiang said with a smile, "Little Gui, what brings you here again? Didn't my young master say not to rush? It's the Tartars begging us for peace talks, what's the hurry?"
Wu Sangui said with a wry smile, "Young Master Qiang, it's almost noon!"
"Alright! I'll go in and check. I reckon the young master is having breakfast! These days, he doesn't get up until almost noon." Wang Qiang said as he went into the room.
Wang Wenzhou was having breakfast with one arm around Liu Rushi and the other around Wang Ying.
"Young Master, please hurry, Xiao Guizi is here again to urge us," Wang Qiang said.
"I know! Tell them to wait a little longer!" Wang Wenzhou said irritably.
Wang Wenzhou took a sip of milk from Liu Rushi's mouth and said plaintively, "Rushi, Rushi, the milk doesn't taste good!"
"Hmph!" Liu Rushi snorted coldly and said irritably, "Liu Xiaohua has gotten so thin these past few days! If you want milk, go find your Mongolian dairy cow!"
Wang Wenzhou immediately shut up; Liu Rushi was becoming increasingly disobedient!
“Babies, babies, who will come with me to the peace talks later?” Wang Wenzhou asked.
Liu Rushi shook her head and said, "Liu Xiaohua can't live without me right now, so I can't go."
"Sister-in-law, why don't you and Yuanyuan come with me?" Wang Wenzhou kissed Wang Ying.
“No!” Wang Ying said with a smile, “I want to go home with my sister to visit our father. We’ve been away from Beijing for over a month and just returned. We can’t not go home to see him.”
"Alright!" Wang Wenzhou looked at Wen Liandie and said, "Little Die, I'll take you out to play today."
"I also need to go home to visit my grandparents," Wen Liandie quickly refused.
Wang Wenzhou was quite helpless; none of the girls would accompany him. It wasn't really their fault; they were simply afraid of losing face. They all understood that, whenever they went out with Wang Wenzhou, it meant they had to forget about their reputation.
"Sister-in-law, you wouldn't go home to visit your ex-husband, would you?" Wang Wenzhou asked Sun Rurui with a smile.
"Sigh..." Sun Rurui sighed and said softly, "I'll go with you!"
"Huh?" Wang Wenzhou suddenly realized that Gao Guilan, who loved playing with him the most, was not there. He asked in confusion, "Where's Xiaolanlan?"
Sun Rurui said with a wry smile, "Sister Gao Guilan is sick again."
"Ah?" Wang Wenzhou asked anxiously, "What's wrong! Why is Xiaolanlan always sick?"
Wang Ying said, "The doctor said that Sister Gao Guilan is weak, so she is prone to getting sick from the change in environment."
"Alright! I'm full!" Wang Wenzhou kissed each of the babies and said, "Sister-in-law, let's go."
Wang Wenzhou put his arm around Sun Rurui and they went out the door, heading straight for the side courtyard.
Sun Rurui frowned and asked, "Aren't we going to negotiate?"
Wang Wenzhou said with a smile, "Sister-in-law, you must keep this a secret! I want to bring Dayuer with me."
Sun Rurui shook her head with a wry smile. Wang Wenzhou is a madman. He is never serious. Da Yu'er is Huang Taiji's imperial concubine. If you take her to negotiate, he will definitely try to lay a hand on her. How will Da Yu'er face people after that?
Da Yu'er, Zhe Zhe, and others were imprisoned by Wang Wenzhou in a side courtyard. Wang Wenzhou did not tell Zhu Youjian that he had kidnapped Huang Taiji's empress and two imperial concubines. In fact, Wang Wenzhou did not intend to hide it, but Zhu Youjian was too unscrupulous. So Wang Wenzhou was very angry and simply did not tell Zhu Youjian. He planned to extort some benefits from the Qing Dynasty during the negotiations.
When Wang Wenzhou entered the house, Zhe Zhe and the others were eating. They were free to move around in the side courtyard because Wang Wenzhou didn't provide them with any clothes. Zhe Zhe and the others were used to it, having been subjected to various forms of harassment by Wang Wenzhou along the way.
Wang Wenzhou said with a smile, "Baby, baby, come on, I'll take you out to play."
Borjigit nodded and said, "Okay, I'll eat my fill first."
Dodo's baby really enjoys playing with Wang Wenzhou, because when Wang Wenzhou gets crazy, he's more manly than the bravest man on the grassland.
Wang Wenzhou quickly shook his head and said, "Baby, I'll take Dayu'er to play. I'll come find you for milk tonight, okay?"
Borjigit smiled bitterly to herself, "Wang Wenzhou, you madman, how could you like a weak woman like Dayuer?"
Da Yu'er shook her head with a wry smile. Although she hadn't slept with Wang Wenzhou these past few days, they had done all sorts of intimate things together. She was truly afraid that one day she wouldn't be able to hold onto her principles and would be taken advantage of by Wang Wenzhou.
"Let's go!" Wang Wenzhou pulled up Dayuer and said, "Rui Rui, you go with her to change your clothes first. I've already had the clothes prepared."
“Yes!” Sun Rurui nodded.
When the two children saw the clothes, they smiled bitterly. Wang Wenzhou, that madman, was really ridiculous. It was one thing for him to wear a kasaya, but he actually made the two of them wear Taoist robes.
……
"The Imperial Advisor has arrived!"
Wang Wenzhou carried his two babies into the room.
"Pfft!" Hauge burst out laughing. Wang Wenzhou was dressed as a monk, wearing a kasaya and with six incense burns on his head. That was bad enough, but he was also holding two girls dressed as Taoist nuns.
"Bang!" Hauge laughed for a while, then realized something was wrong. He slammed his hand on the table angrily and stared intently at Kong Zhenyun, saying furiously, "Lord Kong! Do you think your Ming Dynasty has us cornered? You actually sent a clown like him to insult our Great Qing?"
Hauge pointed to his own nose and said, "I am Hauge, the eldest son of the Emperor of the Great Qing Dynasty. I request that the Ming Dynasty send someone worthy of my status to preside over the peace talks! A scholar can be killed but not humiliated! Your Ming Dynasty claims to be a land of propriety, don't you understand such a simple principle?"
"Fuck your mother! Who are you calling a clown? You believe I'll fuck your mother right now!" Wang Wenzhou cursed.
Da Yu'er's eyes immediately reddened. She knew that going out with Wang Wenzhou today would definitely be embarrassing. But she never expected that Wang Wenzhou would bring her to negotiate, and that her nominal son, Hauge, would also be present.
