Outside the Kunning Palace, the ministers who had been waiting for a long time were impatient and angry.

Ao Bai raised his arms and said loudly: "The emperor is in danger of maintaining the safety of the Qing Dynasty, when the eyebrows are burned, how can we have time to wait for boring men and women to flirt and scold, Lao Tzu takes the lead, everyone will go to the palace with me to meet the queen mother, no matter what, we must know the emperor's safety and whereabouts."

Everyone applauded in unison,

Just as it was inseparable, Xiaozhuang slowly walked out of Kunning Palace with Dolgon,

The scene that was very lively just now immediately became silent,

Only Ao Bai, very unconvinced, stalked his neck,

Then helplessly, as everyone slowly knelt down and shouted: "The Queen Mother is auspicious."

The Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang cleared her throat and said aloud: "You are all ministers of the Great Qing Dynasty, everything in the country is related to you, and it is right to be loyal to the emperor and have a clear heart." But listen to the rumors. Speculating and even fighting with each other is excessive. Are you going to be sinners in the Qing Dynasty?"

"I'm a woman, I don't participate in politics, but there is still the emperor, the emperor is aware of the people's feelings, goes out for a private visit, and will return to Beijing in a few days, and when he comes back, he knows that you are willful and nonsense, and he will definitely punish you heavily."

Ao Bai shouted with tears: "Queen Mother Shengming, this is great, as long as the emperor is safe and sound, even if it is to take the life of Weichen's dog, it is good to take it."

There is a voice of echo behind it,

Xiaozhuang secretly wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and continued: "Just now, the regent also took the initiative to propose that the emperor is not too young, and it is time for him to be pro-government, so he decided that after the emperor is in power, he will hand over the power of the Ouchi Arch Guard, and the right of the Nine Gate Admiral's Guard, and at the same time, the soldiers and horses of the Three Banners will not set up a banner master, and they will be under the command of the emperor."

"Alas, the emperor is young, and for so many years, the regent has worked hard for the Qing Dynasty. Now it's okay, the emperor is in charge, and the regent can rest and take care of his old age, isn't that so, regent"?

Dolgon's face was bruised,

He gritted his teeth and said: "The queen mother is right, the emperor is getting older every day, you can't always be lazy and playful, this time I went to the people to make a private visit to observe the people's feelings, and I did a good job, and when he comes back to the government, I hope you can work together to assist the emperor as a generation of commanders." No one needs to rush me on the promise I made, I will definitely fulfill it when the time comes, and I still have something to do in my house, so I will take my leave first."

After speaking, he didn't look back, stepped on the yellow horse and left.

Xiaozhuang dismissed the ministers, returned to the palace, and gently tapped the cabinet door.

With a squeak, what jumped out of the cabinet was Fan Wencheng, a Manchu important minister who had been in hiding a few years ago.

Xiaozhuang slowly returned to his chair, pondered for a long time before whispering: "Mr. Fan, after all these years of planning by you, it was not easy to save Fulin's life, and now the situation, you have also seen it, exactly the same as your plan, Dolgon handed over the military power, Fulin returned to Beijing to pro-government, we can finally take a breath."

Fan Wencheng frowned, and said with a long sigh: "Dolgon has been in charge for many years, and all the big and small officials in the army have been promoted by him. The command of the Eight Banners only handed over the upper three banners, and the remaining five banners and the green battalion of the Han army were still under his orders. Life and death are all in the heart of Dolgon."

Xiaozhuang was taken aback, she stood up abruptly and circled around the hall quickly,

Then he asked in a low voice, "Sir is right, what should we do now"?

Fan Wencheng said loudly: "If they make such a fuss, Dolgon will definitely be more restrained, and he will not dare to poison the emperor." Therefore, the emperor should hurry up and return to Beijing to govern himself, and once he sits on the throne, he will seize the power of the central pivot, and at this time, no matter what drastic changes occur in the court, the emperor only needs a holy decree to stabilize the situation in the name of justice, so as to firmly control the imperial power."

"Change", Xiaozhuang looked at Fan Wencheng puzzled and asked suspiciously: "What else has happened in the court?

Fan Wencheng gritted his teeth and said: "There are too many accidents, the Queen Mother has become a frightened bird, I mean, one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, and if Fulin wants to be in power smoothly, he must get rid of Dolgon by thunderbolt"!

"What"?

Filial piety was shocked,

He looked at Fan Wencheng in horror and said, "Mr. Fan, Dolgon's younger brother Duoduo once robbed your wife, and Dolgon has repeatedly bullied you in order to protect Duoduo, so you went into hiding, but many years have passed, and Duoduo is also dead, do you still hold a grudge against Dorgon?"

"Over the years, Dorgon has sacrificed too much for me, how can I do it"?

Fan Wencheng smiled bitterly: "The Queen Mother misunderstood me, although I haven't released all those hatreds, I won't repay them."

"Please think carefully about Dorgon's words and momentum when he left, unwilling to be angry, after returning he will definitely consult with the strategists, those villains who are greedy for the merit of the establishment, as long as the slightest instigation, Dolgon will change his mind, in order to realize the scheme, they will definitely keep making trouble for the emperor, and when the emperor is anxious and inactive, he will depose the emperor under the pretext of incompetence."

Xiaozhuang said with tears in his eyes: "Even so, what strength do we have to kill Dolgon? He is strong and strong, and the soldiers and horses I can mobilize are not vulnerable at all."

Fan Wencheng frowned and said: "If you fight with Dolgon, it is better to hand over the throne obediently, in this way, he will see your face, and maybe he will spare the emperor's life.

"And the method I devised may be a bit despicable to say, and that is, assassination. ”

"After the emperor returns to Beijing, we will secretly send a master to kill Dolgon in one fell swoop, and remove all obstacles for the emperor's pro-government. Otherwise, not to mention the throne and pro-government, it is all delusional to want to be a rich man in peace."

Xiaozhuang opened his mouth wide, and he couldn't close it for a long time,

After a long time, a long time, it said dejectedly: "Mr. Fan, that's what you said, let Fulin come back and occupy the throne first, and then talk about the pro-government affairs slowly." As for the assassination of Dorgon, let me think about it again, once this step is taken, there is no way back."

The Queen Mother's decree was sent to Bao'en Temple in April.

When Shunzhi received the news, he and Suide rushed to the Three Treasures Hall to ask to see the master.

At this time, Yulin embroidery had just finished shaving for Guo Hao.

Shunzhi was stunned for a while, sighed and said: "Master, the Queen Mother sent a decree from Beijing, ordering me to return to Beijing to pro-government, it is said that this is something I have been looking forward to for a long time, and I should be happy, but now that Guohao's senior brothers have become monks, I am still a layman, and rolling in the red dust really delays my practice."

Zen Master Yulin smiled and said: "You made a wish in the Leiming Temple, if you become the emperor, you will definitely let the people be blessed, and the world will be ruled by Shun." Now that you have really become an emperor, do you want to evade your responsibilities? What's more, the lotus leaf you left in Yaochi at the beginning, because you can't stand the bitter love, has secretly descended to earth, if the relationship between you is not broken, even if you become a monk, it will be in vain?"

Shunzhi asked in astonishment: "What lotus leaves? What kind of love? Well, I often dream of green lotus leaves swaying gently on the surface of the water, and I think I am pointing out the dust and entering the Buddha's gate?"

Zen Master Yulin shook his head and said: "This matter is still early, there is no need to discuss it for the time being, but you are returning to Beijing this time, the road may be full of dangers, Suide must be up to twelve points of spirit, be careful of any wind and grass." If necessary, you can take the lead, and all actions on the road of Shunzhi must be arranged by Suide, and you must not be willful."

Shunzhi was puzzled: "The Empress Dowager's letter emphasized that Dolgon had given in and asked me to quickly return to Beijing to occupy the central position. Could it be that Dorgon is going to do something to me in the dark?"

Yu Linxiu closed her eyes for a long time before she said slowly: "This matter has nothing to do with Dolgon, but the calamity that you should have in your fate, your senior brother Guohao has lost his hair, you can bring him with you when you return to Beijing this time, the soldiers on the road are fierce and dangerous, Suide alone is enough to contend with, but some ghost techniques are not solved by martial arts, although Guohao can only chant scriptures, but a Buddha horn can destroy trillions of catastrophes and boundless felonies." What's more, he has been involved with an extremely powerful character all his life, and at the critical moment, that person would rather break the ring and jump out to save him."

Shunzhi said happily: "Thank you, Master, usually I tell my junior brother about the prosperity of Jingshi, but he just doesn't believe it, and insists that I brag." I can't prove to him that those are true, and I'm really angry. So this time, I originally wanted to plead with you to let my junior brother follow me into Beijing. Unexpectedly, you agreed first, this is happy to death for me, in the future, in the palace, after government affairs, we chant the scriptures together, and there are people to play with me in my spare time."

Yulinxiu hung her head and was silent, but judging from her wrinkled brows, she seemed to be deeply worried.

Shunzhi said goodbye to the master when they left to return to Beijing, it was already the middle of April, along the way, the wind and the sun were beautiful, the grass grew and the warbler flew, and the mental situation was completely different from when he first came to the temple, although Xiao Guohao had just turned six years old, he refused to lag behind at all on the big horse, so he quickly whipped his horse, and passed through Qufu to Tai'an in a few days.

According to Shunzhi's idea, he also wanted to stay in Tai'an for a few days, and by the way to visit Mount Tai, Guohao also shouted that he wanted to go up the mountain to worship the Emperor Dongyue and Bixia Yuanjun, but Suide shook his head again and again is not allowed, Shunzhi just wanted to put the master's shelf, Suide brought out Yulin's teachings, which made Shunzhi cry and laugh, so he had to obediently obey orders.

Suide didn't dare to be careless at all, set off every day on three poles, urged to stay in the hotel before the sun set, and walked back and forth to be vigilant, and his eyes were red after a few days.

Shunzhi didn't want to go, and persuaded him to rest,

Suide widened his eyes and said: "Master, if you don't arrive in Beijing safely for a day, the slave won't dare to blink for a day, and the queen mother treats me like a mountain, and I can only repay it if I die hard."

It's a fine day,

Because he heard that there were bandits in the front of the Lai Mountain, Suide did not dare to act rashly, and waited until the Longwei Dart Bureau came up, and Suide called Shunzhi to walk with the Dart Bureau.

I thought that the sky was bright and bright, and with the dart game as a companion, it should be safe and sound.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he walked to a large clearing in the middle of the woods, a gong sounded, swished, and nine big men jumped down from the trees, and then hundreds of men with green scarves on their heads poured in from all directions.
