74 Who is the lord of ups and downs

In 1644, Dolgon led the Manchurian cavalry into the pass.

He was eloquent and far-sighted, and in only one year's effort, he defeated the troops of Daming and Li Zicheng, and set foot in Beijing to win the world.

With this immortal achievement, his younger brother Duoduo took advantage of the situation to encourage him to become the emperor, and the owner of the Eight Banners and the fierce generals in the army also echoed each other and persuaded him to ascend the throne.

Dolgon was full of pride, thinking of the thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, the ups and downs of my lord, and couldn't help laughing.

Suddenly, his eyes flashed with his sister-in-law's complaining eyes. Dolgon's heart suddenly tightened. He waved his hand to stop everyone's persuasion, and while going out, he said weakly: "It's a big matter, let me think about it again."

Looking at Dolgon's clumsy figure, Duoduo angrily spat and scolded: "Ahh If you listen to me, kill the orphan and widow of Xiaozhuang, and become the emperor yourself. The beauties of the country are all in their arms. How pleasant it is. ”

Dolgon hurriedly came to Chuxiu Palace, dismissed the eunuch and palace maid outside the door, and walked into the palace lightly.

Xiaozhuang was writing in front of the case, she was paying attention and had no distractions.

Dolgon looked at it for a while and praised softly: "This character is really well written, and the charm of the strokes is about to catch up with Fan Wencheng." ”

Xiaozhuang was startled, she put down her pen and asked softly, "When did you come in, and those minions outside didn't know to report it?"

Dorgon hurriedly explained, "I didn't let them report it, and it's easier for you and me to talk here." ”

Xiaozhuang wiped the sweat from Dolgon's forehead with a towel and asked softly, "What did the court say today?

Dolgon glanced at Xiaozhuang and said tentatively: "Everyone says that the world has been decided, and persuade me to ascend the throne and lead the world." ”

Xiaozhuang pondered for a while with one hand on his cheek, and said with an indifferent smile: "Very good, this is a great event, and it should be celebrated." You will soon be emperor, I have a small request, I hope you will be able to agree. ”

Dolgon seemed to have a premonition of something, and he swallowed hard and said in a panic, "What do you say, I promise you everything?"

Xiaozhuang calmly put away the pen and ink on the table, and said casually: Actually, it's not a big deal, that is, when you ascend the throne, please give us orphans and widows a glass of poisoned wine. We couldn't be more grateful.

Dolgon took two steps forward and said irritably, "Why do you want to do this? What's wrong with me being the emperor? Am I going to lose you two?"

Xiaozhuang Xing's eyes widened, and he said sharply: "This world is the world of Huang Taiji, and you were alone at the beginning. It was my pillow wind that made Huang Taiji dizzy, and he delivered the Eight Banners to you. So that you have the strength to compete for the world. ”

"Huang Taiji didn't know about our two fornications until he died. I thought you were loyal and could trust great things. ”

"After I urged you to take control of the army, you swore to heaven that if you conquered the country, you would help my son Fulin as king. Now you're ready to break the contract. Our mother and son only ask to keep a whole corpse, with your and my affection, this request is not too much, right?"

With tears streaming down his face, Dolgon stepped forward and grabbed Hyo-jong's shoulder, shook it gently, and said, "I'd rather die myself than hurt you." I don't have any heirs, so let me be the emperor for two years, and pass the throne to Fu Lin in two years, okay?"

Xiaozhuang smiled bitterly: "You haven't tasted the taste of the king of the world yet, and you still have a little conscience." Once he ascends the throne, he will die until death. At that point, I was in the stumbling block. The little people want to be rich, and they will slander you to kill our orphans and widows. ”

"You are in power, surrounded by beautiful women, and there is no rival in the world. At this point, my enemy should die and have no place to bury. ”

Dolgon stomped his foot and said, "I have been so compromised, and you still don't give up. So do as you wish. If everyone agrees to make me the emperor tomorrow, it is my duty to do so. After speaking, he strode out of Chuxiu Palace.

Walking outside the door, Dolgon looked back unwillingly, only to see Xiaozhuang standing helplessly at the door and waving to him: "Go, when you ascend the throne, I will congratulate you with my life." ”

Dolgon's heart ached, he quickly calmed down, turned around and ordered Yao Dian, the personal eunuch: "Assign a guard to guard here, and stop her from harming herself as soon as possible, and report it to me immediately." Everyone pay attention to it, if there is any accident in Xiaozhuang, I will punish all the people here to accompany him to the funeral. ”

Yao Dian was frightened and said softly, "Chirp."

The outside of the Qianqing Palace was heavily guarded, and the guards in the inner hall pressed the steel knives in their hands, standing neatly on both sides like ink lines.

All the princes, banner masters, Beizi, and Baylor in the hall have arrived, and everyone's nervous palms are sweating, at such a moment that determines the future and fate of the country and individuals, you must not stand in the wrong line.

Dolgon raised his hand to stop the commotion, and he cleared his throat and said loudly, "We have lived outside the gate for a long time, and we have not had much luxury. But the Ming Emperor went against the grain, not only in the country, but also in oppression of our Jurchens everywhere. ”

"For this reason, my Taizu Emperor Gao ** Hachi, who was unable to resist oppression, raised troops against the Ming, and unified the white mountains and black waters in a few years. Unexpectedly, the Ming general Yuan Chonghuan was extremely cunning, and he tricked Taizu into going deep alone and wounding Taizu with a red-clothed cannon. ”

"After Taizu died of illness, the Great Khan Emperor Taiji succeeded to the throne. In order to expand his territory, Huang Taiji sent troops to conquer Goryeo twice. and directly defeated the Ming army and occupied all the important towns outside the Guanwai except for Ningyuan. So far, our Jurchens have changed their names to Manchu and established the Qing Dynasty. ”

"Huang Taiji unfortunately died suddenly, and I am the prime minister of Chaogang as the regent. It is also God bless the Qing Dynasty, we actually entered the customs and took the world. Now that the general trend has been decided, the country cannot be without a king for a day, and the people cannot be without a master for a day. Therefore, I invite everyone to come here today in order to jointly nominate a person with both ability and political integrity to be the emperor. Look at the thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, who is the master of ups and downs. ”

Prince Su Haoge shouted sharply: "I am the eldest son of the Great Khan Emperor Taiji, and my father died, so I should inherit the throne. What else is there to discuss? Just let Qin Tianjian choose a good day, and I will directly ascend the throne. At that time, everyone here will be rewarded. ”

Prince Yu Duoduo scolded the case: "It's really shameless, the regent Dolgon has gone through a lot of hardships and led everyone to defeat Da Ming and Da Shun. Now you fool want to sit back and enjoy it, and you don't want to think, can you enjoy this wealth with such a cheap life?"

Hauge scolded angrily: "I can't sit on the throne, do you want this butcher who kills people without blinking an eye to sit?"

Duoduo smiled and said, "To be an emperor, I have neither the heart nor the life. Prince Rui Dolgon is eloquent and strategic, and his character is valuable, and he is the emperor of heaven's destiny, I say this, no one will disagree. After speaking, he pressed the treasure knife and looked around to the left and right.

Prince Azig also stood up and shouted: "That is, that is, the one who prevents the regent from ascending the throne is the enemy who hinders the development of the Qing Dynasty." To such scum, it is necessary to talk to them with a steel knife. ”

At this point, who would dare to do the song of the war horse again? Everyone casually agreed: "Agreed, we resolutely support the regent to rule the world." ”

Dolgon's face flushed with excitement, he just wanted to push the boat down the river and ascend the throne directly, when he suddenly saw his personal eunuch Yao Dian wandering around in a hurry outside the main hall. His heart sank, and he said, "Not good." Hurriedly stood up and walked outside the hall, because of the panic in his heart, his legs were weak when he went down the hall, and he fell directly on the steps.

Everyone rushed over to help, and Dolgon stopped everyone with a wry smile: "Go back to the main hall first, and I'll come back as soon as I take care of some personal matters." ”

He hurriedly came to Yao Dian's side, gritted his teeth and said, "Tell me quickly, what's wrong?"

Yao Dian wiped the sweat from his forehead and said: "The Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang invited Fulin early this morning, after they put on the dress, they suddenly took out the meridian melt bones and stuffed them in the mouth, this medicine is a secret transmission outside the Guan, usually harmless to the human body, but when it comes to the child and noon, it will melt the intestines and bones, and turn people into a pool of blood." ”

"We were afraid that she would swallow it, so we didn't dare to intervene forcibly, and now it's noon, and if we don't spit it out, the consequences will be unimaginable." So I came to the prince for an idea. ”

Dolgon's face was crooked, he looked up at the sky and scolded angrily, "Why did you come here to report at this time?"

Yao Dian cried and said: "My lord, I have been here a long time ago, but I don't know what is going on today, the guards will not let me in, if it weren't for the prince of Azig who came out to relieve me and met me." I'm still walking around the palace gate. ”

Dolgon stopped Yao Dian's chatter irritably, he quickly turned around the courtyard, snapped, beat his head a few times with his hand, and then untied the sachet on his waist and handed it to Yao Dian and said: "You ride a fast horse back to Chuxiu Palace, give this to the Queen Mother, let her quickly spit out the poison in her mouth, and take Fu Lin to the Imperial Pavilion to change into a dragon robe, and prepare to ascend the throne." ”

Dolgon returned to the Qianqing Palace with his head down, and when he saw that everyone was looking at him strangely, he smiled awkwardly and said, "Where did you just go? ”

Duoduo's angry eyes were about to pop out, and he waved his arms and shouted: "Everyone agrees, let you be the lord of the world, and you will ascend the throne today." ”

Dolgon shook his head and said: "This is not appropriate, our Manchu script is set up by Huang Taiji, the territory is laid by Huang Taiji, and the establishment of the country is decided by Huang Taiji, so the successor should be the descendants of Huang Taiji." ”

Hauge's face flushed with excitement, and he applauded repeatedly: "The Lord Regent said well, and he firmly supports the Lord Regent's decision. ”

Dorgon glanced at Hauge and said disdainfully: "You are ambitious and stupid, it is difficult to take a big deal, don't be delusional about the throne,"

"I can win the world immediately, but I can't rule the world immediately. "The new emperor must be knowledgeable and have the world in mind in order to be in charge. "The ninth son of Aixin Jueluo Huang Taiji" "Fu Lin" is young, but he is gentle and elegant, and his wisdom is outstanding, which is the best choice for the lord of the world. So I propose that Fu Lin ascend the throne and enter the first emperor of the Qing Dynasty for me. ”

This made Duoduo angry, and he scolded angrily: "Dorgon, I will kill you greedy fool. Pressing the sword in his hand, he pounced on Dolgon.

Dolgon calmly put his hands behind his back and shouted: "Duoduo, you are too presumptuous, this is the Qianqing Palace, there are big rules, no matter who sits on the emperor in the future, I will be the regent of the Qing Dynasty." You don't care about your dignity and humility, you wantonly stir up, you don't take me seriously, if you don't punish me severely, how can you obey the people? ”

The guards, chirping, a violent howl, did not wait for Duoduo to struggle, as soon as they rushed up, they tied up, and even tore and dragged straight to the noon gate,

Duoduo did not show weakness, and scolded,

Dolgon was furious, and shouted, "Behead quickly, and hang your head at the gates." ”

Azig was so frightened that his bones and legs were weak, and he chased after the door and ordered the guards: "Slow down the execution, and wait until I plead for mercy." ”

Then he crawled back to the hall and knelt down and cried, "Lord Regent, we and Dodor are the same mother. Not to mention the family affection of playing together since childhood. conquered the city and seized the world, and Duoduo was also the first fierce general of the Qing Dynasty. "Although he is a little reckless today, please let the regent spare him for the sake of his past feelings and military exploits. After speaking, he motioned to the crowd to intercede.

Everyone originally hated Duoduo, but no one dared to fall behind in pleading, and Duoduo didn't care about anything today, and he would fall into trouble in the coming day.

So everyone knelt down and shouted, "We are willing to intercede for Duoduo, and I respectfully ask the regent to spare Duoduo for the sake of Duoduo's merits and everyone's face." ”

Dorgon hesitated for a moment, then he held the dragon book case in his hand and said loudly: "Dordo is brave and has made many achievements, but he has a rude temperament, and he spreads wild everywhere because he is my own brother. If you let him go today, what kind of disaster will you cause in the future?"

"But everyone's face can't be left unpaid. In this way, it is inevitable that the death sin will be forgiven by the living sin. In this Qianqing Palace, this reckless man was beaten with eighty military sticks to set an example, and he must not **, if there is an exit, don't blame me for the ruthlessness of the steel knife. ”

Azig was afraid of Dodor's recklessness, so he ran to the noon gate himself.

Duoduo was twisting his neck, and where were the seven disobedient and the eight dissatisfied,

Azig first told the situation of the main hall, and then persuaded: "The matter has come to this, don't be strong." If you force Dolgon to have no way back. He might really make an example. Besides, even though Fulin sat on the throne, what could he do as a doll less than ten years old? ”

"Go back, confess your mistake to Dorgon, save your head first, and don't scream when you're going to beat you. Otherwise, I really can't save you. ”

Duoduo laughed and said: "Don't talk about eighty military sticks, it is to beat eight hundred, if I want to frown, I am not a Manchu man." Listen later, I'm going to scream, and before the regent comes to kill, I'll be ashamed to die." ”

Back in the main hall, Dorgon looked at Dorgon for a few moments before kneeling down and admitting his mistake.

Dolgon was angry and amused, and shouted the order, 'Execution'.

This fat beating, only one Buddha who beat Duoduo was born and two Buddhas ascended to heaven. Blood was splattered on the dragon pillars of the main hall.

This Duoduo is also really hard, not only did he not say a word, but he also looked around nonchalantly.

The princes and nobles in the palace were all frightened, looking at Dolgon's hideous face, and they didn't dare to come out.

After the execution, Dolgon shouted according to the case, "And the one who is not convinced?"

Everyone lowered their heads and said, "We will obey the order of the regent, and we will not dare to disobey the slightest."

Only then did Dorgon return to his color, and he first ordered Dordort to be helped down the main hall and allowed to be healed by the imperial doctor. Then loudly declare, "Since there is no objection, then everyone agrees with me?"

"Emperor Taizong Wen's son of Emperor Taiji, Fulin, has both civil and military qualities, and has a heart for the world and the world. If he is the king, he will be able to revitalize the Qing Dynasty, and from today on, he will be the prince, and he will choose a good day to be appointed by the Qintian Supervisor and ascend the throne on a certain day. ”

Half a month later, under the arrangement of Dolgon, Fulin slowly sat on the throne amid cheers and became the first emperor of the Qing Dynasty to enter the customs, with the year name Shunzhi.

In order to thank Dolgon for his support, at the suggestion of Xiaozhuang, he made Dolgon his uncle's regent, in charge of everything inside and outside the Qing Dynasty.

But at this time, Dolgon was unwilling and unable to solve it, so he led eighteen personal guards to the Central Plains to relax.
