Regarding Dorgon's words, Shuosei always felt weird, as if something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong. It wasn't until Dorgon and everyone who greeted him left that it seemed that there was something wrong. clues.
He temporarily lives in a room next to Huang Taiji, in order to hear Huang Taiji's call and rush here as soon as possible.
As for Zhang Lei, he didn't know that Huang Taiji was sick. But when they were going to Shenyang, only people they had never seen before came to fight them. Ye Bushu had been killed, and Hauge was also dead. Huang Taiji did not go on a personal expedition, and he never even saw Dorgon again, which made him very confused, but doubts were doubts, and the battle still had to be fought. Without those fighting talents to command, Zhang Lei was almost invincible even though his numbers and equipment exceeded those of the Qing army.
Soon, he led the army to Changchun. Changchun is located in the northeastern border. More than two thousand years ago, it was the place where the Sushen tribe in the north lived. From the Han Dynasty to the Western Jin Dynasty, it was the territory of Fuyu State. Later, it was under the jurisdiction of Goguryeo. In the middle and late Tang Dynasty, it belonged to Fuyu Prefecture in Bohai Sea. The Liao Dynasty belonged to Huanglong Prefecture, Tokyo Road. Jin returned to Long'an Mansion on Shangjing Road. Yuan belongs to Kaiyuan Road, Liaoyang Province. In the Ming Dynasty, Tamu Guard, Yidong River Guard and Mugu River Guard were established in Changchun. At this time, Zhang Lei and the others were less than 500 miles away from Shengjing, which was very close.
The news reached Shengjing, and the government and the public were shocked. Dorgon ordered martial law in Shengjing and mobilized all the soldiers who attacked the Ming army from the south. Dorgon decided to use all his strength to fight Zhang Lei to the death, and he wanted to lead the expedition himself.
However, just as he was about to set off, he suddenly heard the bad news that Huang Taiji was dying!
The war has been going on for more than half a year, and Huang Taiji has been ill for more than half a year. Although he has not recovered, his mood is still stable. Now Dorgon has decided to fight in person. But suddenly news came that Huang Taiji was about to die. How could this happen? He could only temporarily send generals to stop Zhang Lei, but he stayed behind and hurried from the starting point to the palace without even taking off his armor.
The palace seemed to be livelier than usual. Dorgon saw many court officials and relatives of the emperor on the road, including Prince Lie, Daishan, and Abai, the diligent and diligent minister of the country. Prince Min Abatai, third-rank Fengguo general Babutai, British Prince Azig, Feng'en general Laimubu, and Yu Prince Duduo, basically except for a few who died. There is another person in prison, another person who was demoted to a civilian, and the others are here.
"The emperor's uncle is here." Seeing Dorgon coming here quickly, Shuo Sai hurriedly greeted him.
Because he was walking too fast and the armor on his body was a little heavy, Dorgon seemed to be out of breath. He asked: "How is the emperor's condition? Where is the imperial doctor?"
Shuosei said: "All the imperial doctors are here. All the emperor's uncles are also here, and the emperor's younger brothers are also here, as well as some court ministers who have received the news."
"Well, everyone is here, so it's no better than that. Come in quickly." Dorgon said.
When Dorgon, who was wearing armor and accompanied by Shuo Sai, entered the room, he immediately became the focus of the audience. Dorgon walked directly through the crowd and came to Huang Taiji's bed. Said: "Brother Emperor."
"What are you going to do wearing this?" Huang Taiji asked. According to the rules, no one can enter the palace equipped with weapons and armor without the emperor's permission.
Dorgon said: "I got the news at the training ground. I didn't even have time to change my clothes before I came over here. I was about to lead the army on an expedition and prepare to fight Zhang Lei to the death."
¡°I¡¯ve really worked hard on you during this period.¡± Huang Taiji said.
"It should be." Dorgon said.
Huang Taiji said: "Look at the bones in my body. It's really bad. As people get older, diseases come like a mountain. This disease has brought out all the previous problems. It seems that they can't be cured. Let's let him go today. Everyone came here just to let you talk about the prince's problem." Although he was unwilling to admit it or face this matter, he had to make such a decision for the sake of this country and the court.
Dorgon said: "No, brother Huang will definitely get better. Don't think so much, it will be fine."
"Okay, okay, don't say those words to comfort me. My body knows that it is getting worse day by day, and it won't get better if I delay it any longer. Now everything is on you alone. You must be very tired. A country cannot live without a king for a day, and now it is facing a national crisis. It is better to choose a new emperor, so I will not occupy this position." Huang Taiji said.
As soon as he said this, everyone around him was in an uproar. It turned out that a new emperor was going to be elected today, and he suddenly became nervous.??Staring at Huang Taiji intently. Shuo Sai remembered the story that Huang Taiji had talked about Han Xin with him not long ago, and then thought about getting pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and he suddenly realized that Huang Taiji must have written the abdication edict, and may have even appointed a new emperor. Today is Ready to announce.
In addition to watching Huang Taiji, everyone is paying more attention to Dorgon. When Huang Taiji appointed Dorgon to handle the government affairs when he was seriously ill, it seemed to have made it clear to the world that besides Huang Taiji, Dorgon was A person who truly holds real power.
Originally, Huang Taiji had always brought the eldest prince Hauge with him. Hauge was indeed up to date and had great military exploits. He could understand every meaning of Huang Taiji. If nothing else, after Huang Taiji's death, the new prince would The emperor must be him. It's a pity that fate has its way, and Hauge was killed by Zhang Lei himself before he could reach his glory. From then on, no one in the entire royal family could compete with Dorgon, whether it was power or wisdom. It seemed to be a certainty who would win the throne.
Dorgon had no expression on his face. He raised his head to look at the people in the room. No one dared to make eye contact with him and lowered their heads. If ranked in order, the person here who is most qualified to inherit the throne is Shuosai, but he has no power now. If he becomes the emperor, he will definitely be a puppet. Everyone is looking forward to what Huang Taiji will do next.
Dorgon said: "Brother Emperor, it's too early to establish a new emperor, but setting up a prince should be a good choice. I wonder if brother Huang has any ideas?"
"Well, Crown Prince, you have been very busy these days. Have you helped me pay attention to whether any of my sons have the aura of an emperor?" Huang Taiji asked.
As soon as he opened his mouth, he immediately locked the scope on his son, which means that Dorgon is not within the scope of his choice. Dorgon was still expressionless, but other people had different thoughts after hearing the news. Some people couldn't help shaking their heads and sighing. They originally thought that Dorgon would become the emperor, but they didn't expect that Huang Taiji would now It was immediately rejected. But some people still firmly believe that even if Huang Taiji does not let Dorgon become the emperor, Dorgon will definitely be the most powerful person for a long time to come.
Dorgon said: "What the emperor said really makes me embarrassed. How can such illusory things be counted? Our Qing Dynasty conquered the world on horseback. As the emperor, we are respected by all people. Naturally, he should be an upright man and a hero. To choose this prince, we should choose according to this standard. Even if we don't have such a young talent, we should choose the one with the most potential among the princes. "
"You're right. In fact, I think so too. According to your opinion, which of my sons has this potential?" Huang Taiji asked.
Dorgon was silent, and everyone couldn't help but hold their breath. Under the current situation, it is very likely that Dorgon's choice will become Huang Taiji's choice. The princes were filled with expectations and uneasiness. They were originally There is no hope of inheriting the throne, because there are two people, Hauge and Yebushu. They are two outstanding young talents among the Manchu royal family. Among them, Hauge is the one with the highest voice. He must be capable and capable. , who wants rights and has rights, is the only one among all the princes who can rival Dorgon in terms of strength. It is a pity that he died. Next is Ye Bushu. He was also experienced in hundreds of battles. Although he was not as eye-catching as Hauge, he was still qualified to run for the position of emperor. Unfortunately, he also died. What's next? Who else is next? Except for these two people, everyone else has not had the opportunity to exercise because they are too young.
After a while, Dorgon said: "I think the Ninth Prince Fulin should be a suitable candidate."
As soon as he spoke, everyone in the room was excited. Fulin, that child who was only five or six years old, was actually the candidate that Dorgon thought was suitable for the new emperor. How could this make him Isn't everyone shocked?
Huang Taiji was stunned when he heard the name and asked: "Then why do you think Fulin is qualified to be the crown prince?"
"Intuition." Dorgon said.
Everyone sneered at his statement, and many people speculated in their hearts that he must have just named someone casually, and then he chose the younger one, because in this way, Fulin would become the emperor. , then the power of the entire empire is still in the hands of Dorgon.
Although I think so, who among us dares to expose Dorgon¡¯s conspiracy in person? The only thing he is paying attention to now is Huang Taiji's idea. If he denies it, then the Ninth Prince Fulin will stillIt is impossible to become the crown prince or the emperor of the new Qing Empire. (To be continued.
