As soon as Sonny and the others heard the voice, it was just that the Queen Mother Xiaozhuang was coming, and suddenly several people knelt on the ground and turned around, kowtowed to Xiaozhuang and said, "Slaves, wait for the Queen Mother." Xiaozhuang waved his hand and said, "Okay." Get up, and go out on an errand. ”

Now that Xiaozhuang came forward to block Shunzhi, a few people didn't say anything anymore and retreated directly. Shunzhi saw that his plan was completely overturned by his mother in an instant, and he was immediately angry. Xiaozhuang waited for Sony and the others to withdraw before he said: "You are the emperor, you are responsible for your country, this is the inheritance left by your ancestors, are you really not the same thing?" ”

Shunzhi said: "What are you talking about?" My own country, why didn't I take it seriously? Xiaozhuang said angrily: "Then you are still dealing with military affairs indiscriminately for the sake of a woman?" Can't you see that you can't attack Sichuan now? ”

Shunzhi argued: "Why can't it? The army I am mobilizing now will not affect the war in the southwest, not to mention that Sichuan is just a group of displaced people, a rabble. I am now sending 80,000 troops, and Sichuan will not be easily pacified. ”

Xiaozhuang patiently persuaded: "Now that you have grown up, you can't listen to what Eniang says, why don't you think about it." Li Guoying, Cheng Tingjun, Liang Jiaqi, Gao Minzhan These people, which one is not battle-hardened? They didn't think about quelling the rebellion as soon as possible, but what was the result? They all died, died. The last two words of Xiaozhuang were almost shouted.

Shunzhi also stubbornly said: "There are more people who have been on the battlefield for a long time, and there are many deaths, Nikan was also beheaded back then, Kong Youde was forced to self-immolate, and now Li Dingguo, who defeated them, has not been defeated by me, and has been forced to survive in the border wilderness." I don't believe that there can be any evil in Sichuan. ”

Xiaozhuang saw that Shunzhi couldn't listen to it at all, so he pointed at Shunzhi angrily and said: "You, you are terrible now, the heroes of the world have been defeated by you, you can not listen to Eniang." But you have to think about it carefully, if you weren't in a hurry to pacify Yungui and send Wu Sangui to Yungui, Sichuan would have no chance to make trouble at all. Now the best way is to let Hanzhong block the rebels from going north, Huguang does not let the rebels go east, there are the elites of the Qing Dynasty in the south, they dare not go there. Then the emperor you just need to wait, wait for my Qing army to pacify Yungui, and then return to the division to quickly quell the rebellion with the force of thunder. Instead of sending a little army into Sichuan now, it is to send it to death. ”

Shunzhi was still unconvinced: "How can you send the army to death now?" I sent an army of 80,000. Xiaozhuang said: "I don't understand the military affairs of your court, and I don't want to take care of them." But you should not forget that now the rebels in Sichuan have a geographical advantage, they are familiar with the terrain. ”

Shunzhi said: "What is this? I came from outside the Qing Dynasty, how can we ever be familiar with the terrain of the Central Plains? It's not like we're still in this great place. ”

Xiaozhuang looked at the complacent Shunzhi and said: "Do you know how many Han officials who are familiar with the Central Plains were used in the Qing Dynasty when I entered the customs?" Don't forget that the former Ming Dynasty didn't understand the terrain of Liaodong, but was broken by Emperor Taizu one by one, and defeated the Ming Dynasty's four-way encirclement and suppression in Salhu. ”

Shunzhi said confidently: "What I am sending now is the elite of the Qing Dynasty, our Manchurian Eight Banners army, how can we compare with Emperor Taizu with the traitors and rebels." Xiaozhuang said: "Look at the army you are sending now, all the way in Huguang, all the way in Hanzhong, and the other way is to go north in Guizhou, if there is an accident with the army, who can go to the rescue?" I think you're just for that woman, and now I'm dizzy. ”

When Shunzhi saw Xiaozhuang talking about his favorite concubine, he immediately said, "Isn't it okay?" As the son of heaven in the Qing Dynasty, can't I take care of my own women? Besides, these armies were all the elite of the Qing Dynasty, how could they be defeated by a group of displaced people in Sichuan. ”

Xiaozhuang saw that he couldn't convince Shunzhi, so he said: "I'll tell you, as long as I'm alive for one day, don't think about messing around with the ancestor's country for that woman." If you want to be the king of Zhou You, your mother will never agree, unless I die now. After saying that, he left angrily.

When Shunzhi saw Xiaozhuang leaving, he threatened himself with death, knowing that his desire to send troops immediately could no longer be realized. He was angry with the people around him and said, "Who allowed you to tell the Queen Mother?" It seems that you are getting bolder, Wu Liangfu. Wu Liangfu on the side immediately agreed,

Shunzhi said: "You go and check it immediately, and see who dares to talk a lot in the palace and chew the root of the tongue everywhere." He was identified, his tongue was removed, and he was buried alive. Wu Liangfu knelt down directly and said: "Your Majesty, it was the queen who went to see the concubine Niangniang just now, and heard that the emperor was going to send troops to encircle and suppress Sichuan, and then went to the queen mother. ”

After Wu Liangfu finished speaking, Shunzhi was stunned. Shunzhi didn't expect that it was the queen who went to ventilate and report the news, Shunzhi's face was even more ugly, and he said to Wu Liangfu: "You go and pass the decree to the queen, let her take care of herself, and don't follow in the footsteps of Meng Guqing." When Wu Liangfu heard this, he immediately knelt on the ground in fright, and he didn't dare to come out.

Meng Guqing is the first queen of Emperor Shunzhi, and was degraded to Concubine Jing after being abolished by Shunzhi, as if entering the cold palace, and now no one in the palace dares to mention this person.

Although Shunzhi said cruel words, Wu Liangfu didn't dare to really pass on the decree, but knelt in front of Shunzhi and didn't dare to move. Shunzhi suddenly said angrily: "What? You slave dare to disobey my will now? Wu Liangfu trembled even more with fright, and said: "Your Majesty, it's not that the slave disobeys the emperor's will, the emperor is just angry for a while, and he doesn't really want to punish the queen." Originally, the queen mother said that the emperor was for the imperial concubine to spoil the ancestors' country, and if the queen was punished for the imperial concubine at this time, the imperial concubine would be even more embarrassed. ”

After Shunzhi listened to Wu Liangfu's words, he said helplessly: "You are right, if I defend her again now, she will be even more speechless." Get up, don't kneel. Wu Liangfu immediately thanked him, and then got up.

Shunzhi saw that he couldn't do anything for Concubine Dong E, and immediately sulked. Wu Liangfu said: "Your Majesty, although you can't send a large army to Sichuan now, but the emperor can send people from your cronies to Sichuan, as long as you find Feiyangu, you can explain to the imperial concubine, so that the imperial concubine will no longer worry." ”

Shunzhi's eyes suddenly lit up and said: "Yes, you can't send a large army to go, I can send fewer people to go, in this way, you let Wei He take someone to Sichuan, and let him go to find the younger brother of the concubine." Shunzhi then said to Wu Liangfu with satisfaction: "You still have a way, which is much more effective than those courtiers." ”

Wu Liangfu immediately said: "This is all the emperor's kindness, and the master is blessed with Qitian." The ministers of the court thought about the Qing Dynasty, and the minions only thought that the emperor could not be sad, as long as the emperor could be happy, he would let the minions die, and the minions would be willing. Shunzhi said: "Okay, okay." As soon as you say it, it's something that can't die, bad luck. ”

Wu Liangfu immediately changed his face and said, "Yes, what the emperor said is right, it's all the slave's fault, and the slave won't say it again." When Shunzhi saw Wu Liangfu's appearance, he immediately smiled and said: "You, you are really a two-skinned face, no matter how you say it, you have changed." Okay, go find Hyuk. ”

In the end, Shunzhi did not let the army directly enter Sichuan, but only asked Wei He to take a dozen people and hurriedly go to Sichuan. With the arrival of Wai He and others going to Sichuan, the affairs of Feiyangu and the military situation in Sichuan were also temporarily arranged, Shunzhi gradually calmed down, and things in the court also returned to calm. On October 15, the governor of Huguang, Zhang Changgeng, also arrived.

Because arrangements have been made for the military situation in Sichuan, Shunzhi also directly gave Zhang Changgeng a fold. Nothing has changed. But what Shunzhi didn't realize was that his own worries still appeared. On October 20, Kachuha and others sent a piece of music again, saying that the Ming army in Kuidong suddenly attacked, and they went all the way to the south, capturing Huguang Shizhou Wei and Baojing Prefecture, and now they have gone south and are almost to Chenzhou Mansion.

In the next two days, Zhang Changgeng also sent 800 miles to expedit, the military situation in the southwest changed rapidly, the grain road in Duyun Mansion in Guizhou was blocked, and Wang Guangxing of Kuidong led the army to raid, and with the support of the local Miao people, he quickly captured Yuanzhou, completely blocking the grain road from Huguang to Yunnan-Guizhou, and the retreat of the army into Yunnan-Guizhou was also completely blocked.

At this time, Shunzhi also panicked, the army that entered Yungui was the foundation of the Qing Dynasty, otherwise when Zheng Chenggong attacked Nanjing. The imperial court would not send Dasu and others to Nanjing, and what they brought was not the elite of the Eight Banners at all, but the forward battalion of Shunzhi's personal guard army.

Shunzhi said to Sony and the others: "What if Yungui's army is all trapped in the southwest now?" Ao Bai said: "Your Majesty, now there is only a decree for the king of Xinjun to return to Huguang from Guangxi immediately with a large army, only our army is withdrawn, we can continue to trap the army against the Ming in the southwest, and we can also withdraw the army to pacify Sichuan." ”

Sonny said: "Now that the military situation is not clear, we have taken the liberty of withdrawing the army, and all our money and food in the previous years have been wasted." Besides, the rebel Wang Guangxing's army was less than 10,000 troops, and the thirteen alliances that attacked Chongqing before were not defeated, and now they just occupied Yuanzhou by luck. Zhang Changgeng also said that he had asked Admiral Dong Xueli and the general soldier Hu Maozhen to lead the army to attack Yuanzhou, believing that they could lay the road from Yuanzhou to restore Huguang to Yungui. ”

Bahana also said: "Yes, Your Majesty, now that the extermination of Yongli is in front of you, why not let the army completely wipe out Yongli, and then return to the division and the vast army of Hu to attack this group of Ming troops before and after, so that the money and food of the Qing Dynasty will not be wasted in the past few years." ”

Ao Bai scolded: "You are misleading the country, how can you be so careful about military affairs, the back road of the army is cut off, if one is not careful, the imperial army will be doomed, you are a trap for the Qing Dynasty soldiers." Your Majesty, you should immediately withdraw the army now, otherwise the Qing Dynasty will not be protected. ”

As soon as Shunzhi heard that Aobai was actually like those Han people who were corrupt, he threatened himself with the country at every turn. Suddenly said angrily: "Okay, you worship, now that you have learned to threaten me, I want you to see if the Qing Dynasty will die." Then Shunzhi said: "Immediately pass the decree and let the armies in Yunnan step up their efforts to exterminate Yongli and others, and then return to the army to exterminate the chaotic people in Sichuan and other places." Dong Xueli and Hu Maozhen stepped up their attack on Yuanzhou, opened the road from Huguang to Yungui, and captured Yuanzhou within ten days on the day of the deadline, and then exterminated the enemy of Duyun. ”

When Ao Bai heard this, his heart was suddenly cold, it was over, Shunzhi not only wanted the army to forcibly attack the city, but also had a deadline. The army in Yunnan cannot be withdrawn, can the Qing Dynasty still have troops to mobilize?

After Shunzhi finished speaking, he saw that Ao Bai looked like the sky had fallen, and said angrily in his heart: "Ao Bai, you go home and introspect yourself, and then take a good look at whether my Daqing country will be unsafe." After speaking, he shook his hand and returned to the harem. Suppilon was frightened by Shunzhi's reaction, and didn't react until Shunzhi left

Ao Bai was already heartbroken, and secretly begged the Ming army not to be too vicious, so that the elite of the Eight Banners of Manchuria could escape some more. Sony and the others looked at Aobai's pale face, and thought that Aobai had been robbed of his power and official position by Shunzhi, and now he regretted it. immediately ignored the worship and went directly out of the Qianqing Palace.

Ao Bai didn't expect Shunzhi to react so much, and walked on the way home in a lost mood. Suddenly, a group of people came in front of him, and the pomp should be at the level of a prince, and Ao Bai didn't hesitate to dodge, so he crashed into it directly. The man who opened the way was about to reprimand him, when he heard someone blocking him. At this time, Ao Bai realized that he was directly in the way of being blocked, and he was busy apologizing.

Then Ao Bai saw that it was Prince An, and Ao Bai hurriedly said: "I've seen Prince An." Yue Le saw Aobai's expression and joked: "Aobai, what are you doing?" How a look like the sky is falling. It won't be that he was taken away by the emperor. Ao Bai smiled bitterly and did not answer.

Yue Le was stunned for a moment, and said in surprise: "It can't be true, how can it be, you are an important minister of the court that the emperor relies on." Ao Bai saw Yue Le and asked, and immediately talked about his worries and Shunzhi's arrangement. Yue Le heard it and said: "This is yours, the emperor is the most taboo to be blackmailed." Then he whispered in Aobai's ear: "The emperor has always been threatened to grow up, you threaten the emperor with the country, can the emperor listen to you?" ”

Ao Bai woke up like a dream, and immediately sweated profusely. After Shunzhi ascended the throne, he was jointly pressed by the empress dowager and Dolgon, either his life was threatened, or the throne was unstable. I finally waited until Dorgon died, and now I have to be pressed by the Queen Mother all the time.

Thinking that Shunzhi wanted to set up his beloved concubine as the queen, he was stopped by the courtiers and the queen mother, and some time ago, he wanted to send troops to Sichuan, but was stopped by the queen mother. Now that he is actually threatening the emperor with the country, isn't he looking for death? If he hadn't been loyal, I'm afraid he would have been killed by Shunzhi on the spot.

After Ao Bai understood, he still begged Yue Le and said: "But if the emperor does this, the Qing army in the southwest does have the possibility of being destroyed, why don't you ask Prince An to persuade the emperor." ”

Yue Le shook his head and said, "The emperor has been forced like that by you, so I won't touch this matter." Ao Bai hurriedly said: "What about the army of the Qing Dynasty?" ”
