    "Returning to the words of the emperor and the regent, Zhu Yujian first showed up in Changsha, and then disappeared without a trace. No one has seen him again." University scholar Gang Lin shook his head, with a look of helplessness on his face.  If there is a possibility of substitution, Gang Lin is absolutely unwilling to report the bad news to Dorgon by himself, but he is one of Dorgon's most trusted advisors, and he has no shirking responsibility and cannot avoid it.  ¡°Don¡¯t faint from anger again.¡± Gang Lin prayed secretly in his heart.  Dorgon has been in poor health for the past two years. The last time he heard about the disastrous defeat in the Battle of Nanjing, he had a slight stroke. Fortunately, he survived it in the end. However, he has become more and more anxious recently due to the annoying matter of the emperor's wedding.  I am irritable. If I get angry again after hearing this bad news, wouldn¡¯t it be like the sky is falling (the Aisin Gioro family has a gene for cerebral hemorrhage, interested book friends can check it out).  When Emperor Shunzhi got married, Dorgon's party members all had a strong sense of crisis. According to convention, the young emperor would become an adult after his wedding and would soon be in power. According to Gang Lin and others, Dorgon should die.  Shunzhi was not allowed to marry. Unfortunately, Dorgon, who had always been domineering, had a sudden change of temperament recently. He not only agreed to Shunzhi's wedding, but also made great efforts to choose a wife for him. In the end, after completing the gift, he only had to send it to the bridal chamber with his own hands.  There is a touching scene between the little emperors of a loving father and a filial son.  But Gang Lin was convinced that Shunzhi must have hated Dorgon to the core. He didn't even mention the past grudges, just calling Dorgon the father of Shunzhi was enough for him to hide in bed and scold him for a month.  After Shunzhi came to power, if one day Dorgon lost power or something unexpected happened, Dorgon's buddies like Gang Lin would definitely not get good results.  (Dorgon was originally the regent of the emperor's uncle, but later he felt that it was not enough, so he simply changed his name to the emperor's father and regent. If anyone does not call him this awkward title, he will be dismissed immediately and investigated.) Fortunately, Dorgon heard that Emperor Longwu was missing.  , did not get furious, and seemed to be mentally prepared.  "There is no need to check any more. The Han people have a saying that once the fish is decoupled, it will never be caught again." Dorgon leaned on the bedside and sighed softly: "Alas! I have worked hard for many days to arrange this fish.  It caused civil strife in the South. I thought I could use this opportunity to reverse the situation, but I didn't expect that Wang Kefan was deprived of the greatest advantage. It's really unfair!" Gang Lin secretly breathed a sigh of relief and advised: "Royal father and regent, don't sigh, I heard that Sun Kewang  We are deploying troops to attack Huguang, and Wang Kefan is also sending more troops to Huguang. As the saying goes, one of the two tigers will be injured when they fight. The final result of this matter is still very beneficial to our government. " "Yes, the two tigers are in conflict with each other.  A fight will inevitably result in an injury. Unfortunately, we can only injure one tiger. After he recovers from his injury, we will still have to face two fierce tigers. In this battle between the Western and Southern thieves, the most we can do is take a breather.  It can't change the overall situation." Dorgon shook his head sadly.  If Emperor Longwu fled to Guangdong and completely broke with Wang Kefan, that would be the most ideal result. Now that he falls into the hands of the Chu army, Wang Kefan's strength will further expand. Even if he is temporarily defeated by the Western army, he will soon regain his strength.  , after all, he is still the number one life and death enemy of the Qing court.  "Gang Lin, do you all think that this king should not allow the emperor to get married?" Dorgon suddenly asked.  "Well this is the grace of the emperor and the regent, but some people outside think that the wind direction has changed, and they are inevitably ready to take action. I heard that the two yellow flags have been very noisy in the past few days, and some people specially went to Zhaoling to give  Sony reported the good news. "Gang Lin has participated in confidential events many times and has gained Dorgon's trust, so he doesn't have so many scruples about speaking in front of him.  "It's human nature to announce the good news to Sony on the emperor's wedding. Don't pay attention to them." Dorgon smiled disdainfully and said: "Soni, this slave, still knows how to behave. So, you send someone to Zhaoling to see it.  Look, don't let him be harmed by the people below. In two months, let this slave go back to the capital." "What is the profound meaning of the emperor's father and the regent's move?" Gang Lin was confused. The son of the two yellow flags was Huang Taiji.  , Shunzhi's buddies, and the Dorgon faction are mortal enemies. It is kind enough to let him guard the tomb in Zhaoling, so why call him back to Beijing?  Dorgon was silent for a moment and said calmly: "The current situation is forcing me to have no choice but to do so. Gang Lin, in this situation, what you are thinking about is no longer possible." Gang Lin's body shook violently and he was stunned.  After a moment, he asked: "Why did the emperor and the regent say this?" "I just said it." Dorgon was a little impatient and closed his eyes to rest. Gang Lin was a loyal and good slave, but it was just not enough.  Smart, it's too hard to talk to him.  The Qing army has suffered too many defeats in the past two years. It has lost more than half of its elite soldiers who were trained before entering the customs. The younger generation has not grown up, so that the population of the Manchus has not increased but decreased. Now they want to scrape together 50,000 strong men.  This is not an easy thing, and Dorgon's prestige has been seriously damaged as a result. Although he still maintains his position by relying on high-pressure means, he has?Many people are dissatisfied.  In addition, in the battles with the Chu army, the two white flags loyal to Dorgon suffered the greatest losses, followed by the centrist two blue flags. Below Jierhalang, the two blue flags and the two white flags of the middle  There have been several changes in the top management, and the strength is not as good as before. On the contrary, the two yellow flags, which have been suppressed, have retained most of their strength by mistake. Under the circumstances of one and the other, Dorgon can no longer rely solely on simple and crude methods.  He used high-pressure measures to deal with political opponents, so he wanted to recall Sony back to Beijing.  This casual move may play an unexpected role in the future.  The fundamental reason why he agreed to Shunzhi's wedding was because he lacked strength and was forced to make concessions. Dorgon can still control the situation now and use retreat to advance and agree to Shunzhi marrying his wife. This will give him room for maneuver in the future. Shunzhi is still young anyway.  , is still fledgling and cannot pose a threat to him for the time being.  Two years ago, Dorgon still had the idea of ??becoming emperor, but now he has given up this idea. He is only thirty-nine years old this year, but his body is as weak as if he was eighty years old. The last time he had a stroke, his head exploded.  Two blood vessels were damaged, and then I was bedridden for a long time. Even if I stood for a little longer, I would feel dizzy and shaky.  "When I was young, I followed Lao Khan in battles, climbed on ice and slept in snow. I was seriously injured several times. This body has damaged my vitality. I'm afraid I won't be able to get better in the future. Now that I'm a highly respected minister, I don't want to go any further. I just want to  Pass this legacy on from me, and you can go to see Lao Khan calmly in the future." Dorgon took a few sips of **, and his face looked better, but his eyes no longer had the aura of looking down on the world. The death of Duo Duo.  Just like one of his arms was broken, the other arm Azig was also increasingly separated. If a person can't stand up and has lost two arms, no matter how great his ambition is, it will be wasted, so Dorgon has the intention of retreating from the rapids, and  I began to think about my posthumous affairs, but over the years I have come step by step to where I am now, and I am already riding a tiger with a hard time getting off. It is not possible to retreat just by retreating.  Hearing what he said, Gang Lin felt as if he had been struck by lightning. He was stunned on the spot and remained silent for a long time.  Although Dorgon had shown signs of compromise for a long time, this was the first time he had spoken so clearly. As Dorgon's best friend, Gang Lin had been at the forefront in the past few years and offended too many people. Not only the honors of the two yellow flags  Your minister hates him so much that even Shunzhi and the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang have signed up for him. Dorgon suddenly said that he would give up the job. This is simply a scam!  "Otherwise, go and seek refuge with Azig?"  Since Dorgon became seriously ill, Azig had the idea of ??replacing him, which is why he had a falling out with Dorgon. If Azig had taken up the banner, he might not be afraid of Shunzhi settling his scores in the future.  "Wait a minute, something seems to be wrong. The emperor and the regent are clueless. Why are you telling me these things?"  It was like he was in extreme shock and sadness. He had been stunned for a long time before he could calm down. When he raised his head again, his eyes were full of tears: "The emperor and the regent were in their prime years, why did they say such ominous words? As long as you take good care of yourself,  After a few days of recuperation, I will still be able to ride a horse and shoot a strong bow. I will still be the best warrior in Manchuria. In the future, I will conquer this country and build a foundation that will last forever. " "I know that you are loyal, but it is a pity that others are not so.  Think about it." Dorgon said with a smile: "Some people don't even understand the principle of 'brothers working together to break gold', and they can't wait to be the emperor's father and regent. For the sake of my compatriots, I will treat him again and again.  Tolerance, but those who follow the trend think that the opportunity has come, and fan the flames behind Prince Ying (Azig), lest the world is not in chaos, if these people are not eliminated, they will be the disaster of our Qing Dynasty sooner or later!" Dorgon said!  An important reason for Shunzhi's compromise was to free up his hands for internal cleaning. The first thing to deal with was Azig, who had posed a substantial threat to him.  As a hero of the generation, Dorgon would not really give up his power even if he was lying in bed. Agreeing to the Shunzhi wedding and repeatedly giving in to the two yellow flags were all political means of last resort. Azig wanted to do something to him.  Instead, he is the most intolerable traitor In the spring of the seventh year of Shunzhi, news suddenly came out in Beijing that the emperor's father and regent Dorgon had suffered another stroke and was unconscious. He had been in a coma for a day and a night. Many famous doctors in the Imperial Hospital were helpless.  The palace is already preparing funeral arrangements.  Prince Azig of England was hunting in Beiyuan at this time. After receiving the emergency report, he immediately sent three hundred elite cavalry soldiers back to Beijing. They were all killed by Dorgon who suddenly appeared. Dorgon immediately issued an order.  Azig was taken back to Beijing, his house was ransacked and he was imprisoned. University scholar Gang Lin and others came forward to expose Azig's many evil deeds. A month later, Azig was finally released, but he was exempted from the royal title of Prince Ying.  , imprisoned in the mansion.  Dorgon suddenly purged Azig, and his methods were so ruthless that the whole court was in awe.  Because of the Shunzhi wedding, many of the Eight Banners nobles of the Lianghuang Banners were excited, but at this moment they were frightened by Dorgon's thunderous methods. Only then did they realizeSeeing that even though Dorgon was seriously ill, he was still the iron-fisted emperor and regent, so he had no choice but to put away his troubled thoughts and obediently come to the palace to obey orders.
