Fan Wencheng had been deprived of all his duties at this time and was imprisoned in a small courtyard.
He had nothing to do every day, so he passed the time tending to flowers and plants.
Fortunately, although he was imprisoned, he was not made too difficult in terms of food and clothing.
That day he was pruning flowers and plants when suddenly the door opened and a tall man walked in.
Fan Wencheng couldn't help but frown, it's not time to eat now, why would anyone come?
But he had nothing to fear, so he put down the scissors and stepped forward.
"Mr.
Fan, the Regent has said that you will be reinstated from today on."
Fan Wencheng was stunned for a moment, as if he felt like he was in a dream.
"What did you just say that my officer was reinstated?"
"Yes, this is an order issued by the regent himself, how can it be false?"
Fan Wencheng's body began to tremble involuntarily, and his chest rose and fell rapidly.
The regent finally forgave him.
The tragic failure of Luck Dehun was not his fault.
He had done everything he could.
The Prince Regent had no choice but to convict him.
After all, if the battle was defeated, there had to be someone to top the tank.
"Wait a moment, wait a moment, let me tidy up my appearance before going to see the regent."
"What are you waiting for?
The regent doesn't care about this.
Come with me quickly."
"well" Fan Wencheng was immersed in ecstasy at the moment and wanted to leave this small courtyard immediately.
He is not a person who can let go of everything.
Now that he has the opportunity to make a comeback, he must seize it.
But Fan Wencheng followed Dorgon out of the yard.
The horses had been prepared, and the two of them got on their horses one after another and headed towards Prince Rui's palace.
In the blink of an eye, the two men arrived on horseback.
The main gate was not opened.
Fan Wencheng and the others entered the palace through the corner gate.
This is also understandable.
After all, Fan Wencheng had committed such crimes before, and even if he was forgiven, he had to keep a low profile.
Otherwise, if those Eight Banners nobles caught him and burst into flames, even Dorgon wouldn't be able to handle it.
Fan Wencheng couldn't calm down the emotions in his chest.
As he walked, he thought about how to speak when he met the regent.
It can be seen that the regent is encountering difficulties now, otherwise he would not be so eager to revive him.
What Fan Wencheng is best at is making suggestions, and he can always provide the most appropriate strategy according to the current situation.
It didn't take long for Fan Wencheng to arrive in front of Dorgon's study.
He took a deep breath and walked in.
Seeing Dorgon looking at a map with his hands behind his back, Fan Wencheng stepped forward, knelt down and saluted: "My servant Fan Wencheng pays homage to the regent."
Dorgon turned around after hearing this, with a smile on his face, and helped Fan Wencheng up.
"Mr.
Fan, there is no need to be polite."
Fan Wencheng suddenly felt flattered.
Just this morning he was still a criminal, but half a day later he was treated with such courtesy by the regent.
This is really a trick of fate.

"My slave reflected deeply during his confession and will never make such a stupid mistake again in the future."
"Okay, okay.
If you know your mistakes and can correct them, there is no greater good."
Dorgon smiled and nodded.
This slave really knows how to advance and retreat, and knows how to take the initiative to find a way out for his master.
Under the current situation, he is indeed the most suitable candidate to replace Hong Chengchou.
Dorgon narrowed his eyes slightly and said calmly: "Mr.
Fan just came out and doesn't know much about the current situation, so I am talking to you.
Come and see."
Dorgon turned to the map and clicked on the location of Sichuan.
"Sichuan's geographical location is extremely important.
If we advance, we can capture Yunnan, Guizhou and Huguang, and if we retreat, we can connect with Hanzhong.
Not long ago, I ordered Hong Chengchou, Boluo, Tong Yanghe and others to lead their troops to attack Sichuan."
Fan Wencheng quickly got into the role and listened very carefully.
"It's a pity that the Ming thieves and the Western thieves were so cunning that they joined forces to ambush them.
The Eight Banners Army suffered a disastrous defeat."
Dorgon smiled bitterly and said: "Since this king can remember, the warriors of the Eight Banners have massacred the Southerners in a one-sided manner.
They have never suffered such a big defeat.
Let's not mention the losses after this battle, but I am afraid that it is the Southerners' self-confidence.
It’s going to rise.”
Fan Wencheng was naturally surprised when he heard what Dorgon said.
It stands to reason that the Qing army's combat effectiveness is extremely strong, and even if it cannot take Sichuan, it should be able to escape unscathed.
How could it be such a complete failure?
Of course, Fan Wencheng would not be stupid enough to ask for specific details.
Dorgon certainly did not ask him to ask these questions.
"Mr.
Fan thinks, how should the Qing Dynasty deal with itself now?"
Sure enough, Dorgon began to ask for advice Fan Wencheng thought about it secretly in his heart, and then replied: "In my humble opinion, our army should focus on recuperating and recuperating at this moment, and it is not appropriate to go to war again."
Dorgon was obviously unwilling and continued: "What if someone starts trouble in the south?"
Fan Wencheng was stunned.
There's something going on in the south When he was imprisoned, Hong Chengchou had not yet colluded with Zheng Zhilong, so he did not know about it.
Dorgon then explained: "Zheng Zhilong, the commander-in-chief of Fujian, has long wanted to surrender and has sold grain to the Qing Dynasty via sea route.
Recently, King Gui of the Ming Dynasty also intends to cooperate with the Qing Dynasty."
Fan Wencheng only felt that the clouds and mountains were shrouded in fog.
Just Zheng Zhilong is surprising enough, but how come there is also King Gui of the Ming Dynasty mixed in?
"This is also extremely normal.
After all, there is only one dragon chair, and everyone wants to do it."
Dorgon explained.
"What the prince means is that this King Gui wants to be the emperor himself."
Fan Wencheng finally understood.
Dorgon nodded and said, "That's right."
If so, it makes sense.
But this King Gui is really stupid.
There is no room for two masters in one mountain, and there is no room for two masters in one country.
He wanted to use the Qing army to overthrow the Ming emperor, and then rule across the river.

But Dorgon would not agree.
If there is really civil strife in the south, the Qing army will definitely take advantage of the situation and seize Jiangnan in one fell swoop and unify the world.
There is no reason to make wedding clothes for others.
But judging from what the regent meant, he wanted to temporarily cooperate with King Gui.
Fan Wencheng weighed it in his mind and advised: "If it is like what the prince said just now, then it is not impossible to cooperate with King Gui.
But it is not appropriate for the prince to invest too much troops in the Eight Banners.
Only send Wu Sangui and other Han vassal kings there.
Just attack.”
Dorgon actually had the same idea.
After all, the Eight Banners Army suffered heavy losses in the Battle of Sichuan, and everyone from top to bottom was reluctant to fight another war in the short term.
If Dorgon forces a war, I am afraid it will arouse unanimous opposition.
But if Wu Sangui and other Han vassal kings were sent to fight, the situation would be completely different.
After all, these troops were picked up for free, so even if they were damaged, they wouldn't feel too distressed.
But in this way, the personal reputation of Wu Sangui and others will inevitably increase, and Dorgon will have to give them more autonomy in commanding troops.
This is tantamount to decentralization of power, which will inevitably make people a little uncomfortable.
But right now it's probably the best option.
Dorgon pondered for a while and nodded: "I also think this is a solution, so let's do it."
