Huang Taiji put down the cigarette gun in his hand with satisfaction, closed his eyes very comfortably, and enjoyed the feeling of soaring clouds and fog for a moment. After a while, with a hint of helplessness, he opened his mouth and spat out a puff of smoke from his nostrils and mouth.

"Your Majesty, do you want another bubble?" On the footboard of this Luohan bed, an old man with gray hair asked him in the characteristic voice of a eunuch.

"Alas! Although this thing is known as Fushou ointment, I also want to cherish the blessings. That's all for today, and we'll talk about it tomorrow. Although this is the case, Huang Taiji's face is still unfinished. It's a pity that the old eunuch who opened a cigarette lamp at his feet to burn the smoke bubbles for him could not see it.

"Then, the slave maid asked them to bring the dessert?" The old eunuch served Emperor Wanli back then, and he knew the characteristics of his penchant for desserts after smoking.

At that moment, the guards beside Huang Taiji brought a bowl of rock sugar white fungus lily soup from the imperial dining room.

Drinking white fungus soup and enjoying the sweetness, isn't Huang Taiji's heart extremely beautiful?

On the same day, when Cao Zhenyan and others led the Eight Banners soldiers who were clamoring in front of the palace gate to render their emotions to the climax, Huang Taiji appeared in time.

In Cao Zhenyan's tears, in the midst of the cry of color and art, the palace gate slowly opened, and from the palace gate, a black bear that had hibernated, obviously extremely haggard, oh, no, in fact, I was talking about Huang Taiji, who lost too much blood and looked extremely haggard after being seriously injured.

Huang Taiji wore a collar and a jacket, his face was as white as paper, because the injury on his leg had not yet been sealed, and several guards carried him in a soft sedan chair. When he arrived at the palace gate, Huang Taiji signaled to the guards to stop the sedan chair. He cheered himself up, walked down from the sedan chair, with a cane under his ribs, and walked over step by step with the support of the guards, taking every step forward. A wound on his leg would tear at his nerves. After walking a few steps, his forehead and face were already covered with beads of sweat.

Huang Taiji walked out step by step very slowly, so the noisy people present all found that the emperor had come out, so they quickly knelt down on a mountain and shouted long live.

Huang Taiji motioned for everyone to get up, coughed for a long time, and then said weakly: "Slaves, have you all eaten?" If there is anything you haven't eaten, you can go to the imperial dining room with me to see if there are any other pots and the like. It just so happens that I haven't eaten either! ”

Although his voice was not loud, it rolled over everyone's heads like thunder, and the audience was suddenly silent. Soon some people hit their heads on the ground, crying and shouting, "Slaves should die." There was another cry.

Huang Taiji Rao is mean and unkind, his heart is like an iron stone, and he can't help but have a few tears coming out of his eyes. He wiped his tears from the sleeve of his robe and pushed the guards away. A few steps to a nearby bannerman. This flag man probably showed his battle exploits to the people around him, and his shirt was peeled off by him. The upper body with knotted muscles and muscles is exposed, but it is dotted and dotted with various scars, especially the entire right arm, which is full of scars caused by burns, which looks even more hideous and terrifying.

Huang Taiji nodded. He asked, "You slave who fought Tower Mountain, right?" But under the banner of King Rui? Is there enough food at home now? The flagman hurriedly kowtowed and said: "Thanks to the emperor's thoughts, the slave is the yellow flag inlaid by the emperor himself!" On that day, he was dialed by the emperor to Tashan to help Lord Rui! The family ...... now," he thought for a while, and then said: "It's okay, an average of two catties of food a day, and I can still make a living." ”

Huang Taiji was angry when he heard this. He scolded: "You slave is not honest, come here, take fifty catties of grain from the imperial dining room to this slave." Then he patted the man on the shoulder and said, "You are all skinny and skinny, and you say that you are two pounds a day, do you think I am a fool?" But I can't give you more, my palace has a large population, and there are only 5,000 stone of grain in the warehouse now, and I don't know how many days I can eat porridge. After you take this grain back, you will have to save it, and it is estimated that I will have to wait for the day to get the grain, and if I don't have enough food before then, I will have no choice. ”

After hearing this, he immediately hugged his head and cried, he kept kowtowing and said: "Master, the slave is wrong, the slave doesn't want anything, just ask the emperor to take care of his body, and he must be well fed and clothed." Several disabled bannermen with broken hands and lame legs next to them also shouted words such as the slaves were guilty and begged the emperor to take care of the dragon body, and then someone shouted that the minions can still fight, and I swear not to surrender!

Huang Taiji also cried sadly when he heard this, and he choked up for a while before saying: "Eat and dress warmly, who doesn't want to, you want to live a good life, why don't I want you to live such a good life?" But with no food, no salt, no oil, and no cloth, how can we live a good life? ”

When the disabled bannermen heard this, they tried to stand up straight, puffed up their chests and said to Huang Taiji: "Your Majesty, there is no food and no cloth, let's go south to rob it!" What the Southern Barbarians have, we will rob! Huang Taiji smiled slightly, and then said: "All the minions are good men, I thank you here." Since everyone wants to fight, then I won't stop you, you go to Prince Rui's tomorrow to report your name, even if I don't eat, I will support you to fight Ningyuan and Shanhaiguan, I think Wu Sangui is just 60,000 elite soldiers trained by the Nanban, 30,000 self-fired guns, more than 200 Hongyi cannons, and more than 20,000 elite cavalry. This little bit of power is not the opponent of my Eight Banners. In addition, there are sea boats in southern Liaoning, you can go south to Denglai in Shandong, I heard that Denglai is richer, slaves, don't you want to see it? ”

Huang Taiji said with a smile as he observed these minions, at first they were indeed angry, but as Huang Taiji spoke, the whole field quickly began to cool down as if it had been stuffed into a refrigerator. Sure enough, one powder is better than ten black, Huang Taiji couldn't help but sneer secretly. In the end, strength is the best weapon to calm your head. You should continue to shout, shout harder, so that I can justifiably let Dolgon lead you dog minions to Ningyuan and Shanhaiguan to fill Wu Sangui's shell crater!

Seeing that the atmosphere was cold, Huang Taiji sighed and said, "You minions, now I ask you, is Old Khan a hero?" This question was too abrupt, and I didn't know what Huang Taiji meant, so no one dared to answer for a while. Seeing that no one spoke, Huang Taiji continued: "If you follow the standard you set for me today, then you are not a hero. Old Khan served as a slave to Li Chengliang. He was a lackey for Daming, and he went to Beijing every year to pay tribute, and Lao Han saved himself frugality, but the tribute and gifts to the ministers of the DPRK and China were extremely rich! In addition, he once told Daming that he was going to North Korea to fight the Japanese invaders! If you say it, it would be a shame to negotiate peace with Daming or Li Shouhan as a courtier. That old Khan is a disgrace of shame, and what you have to do is not to kill me, but to dig up the grave of the old Khan and whip the corpse. When Huang Taiji said this, he was already so frightened that even the people in the crowd who deliberately made trouble did not dare to move.

Seeing that he had suppressed the field, Huang Taiji slowed down his tone a little and said: "I am also a human being, and I also have a face, of course I know about the discussion and humiliation, but I can." and your master. The minions can't eat or drink, it's my incompetence as the master. You want to take revenge, and I want to, but only when people live, can they take revenge, and they must live well, eat well, and have strength. to be able to take revenge. But now, do we have it? I am the master's family, and I see that I have to eat the last meal without the next meal. How much better can you guys be? I'm still alive and can figure out a way for you, but if I'm gone, are you going to touch a stone with an egg? I have already thought about it these days, and it is my business to negotiate peace, and whether it is right or wrong. Cheng, you have food to eat, and I also have food to eat, but it doesn't work, but I die alone. You can also choose whether to fight to the end or surrender. But no matter what, I beg you, give me a little time, after twenty days, if I can't give you a satisfactory answer, the old and young masters of the Eight Banners are here to testify, I will judge myself, and if I can't cope with the oath, I will not enter the ancestral grave after death. ”

Huang Taiji's words, full of emotion and grace, touched many people, many people wept and left, and most of the others were silent. However, there are some people who come specifically to find trouble, and they can't give up. So, the woman who cried for her husband appeared again, first grinning with a mouth that occupied two-thirds of the diameter of the entire face and crying for a while, and then kneeling in front of Huang Taiji and crying: "Your Majesty, you have to be the master for me, my husband is dead, helpless, if Li Huamei becomes the master of the master, how can I live!" After that, there was another burst of crying. Sweeping the woman with the corner of his eye, Huang Taiji snorted coldly in his heart, and secretly said You, it's not over yet, see how I clean you up! Suddenly, he saw Cao Zhenyan with red and swollen eyes on the side, and Huang Taiji sneered in his heart, "Today, I will let you wait for the dumb to eat Coptis chinensis, and I can't tell if I have any suffering!" Thinking of this, Huang Taiji ordered someone to call Cao Zhenyan to his side and said to him: "Cao Jueluo, I heard that your family is living a pretty good life, every day the wine and meat are fragrant, and some ignorant little Baylor has nothing to do to go to your house to eat." Say, Is there such a thing? ”

Cao Zhenyan faced Huang Taiji and didn't dare to talk nonsense, so he had to say that the life of a slave was passable. Huang Taiji sneered and said: "Well, I see that this woman is the widow of the flag soldier, and you are also a flag person, since they are all flag people, they are brothers and sisters." I look at this, anyway, your family is rich, and you don't want to have more dishes and chopsticks to eat alone, so I will give this woman to you as a side blessing, what do you think? ”

Before Cao Zhenyan could say anything, a group of people on the side began to coax, praising Huang Taiji for loving the people like a son and showing compassion for the slaves. And Huang Taiji narrowed his eyes and glared at Cao Zhenyan viciously with wolf-like eyes, Cao Zhenyan saw that the situation was not good, so he had to agree hard.

Seeing that Cao Zhenyan agreed, Huang Taiji smiled and said: "I didn't expect to promote a happy event today, Cao Jueluo, our Eight Banners don't have so many rules in the Central Plains, I look at it like this, you and this woman kowtow to me three times, even if you worship heaven and earth." When the ceremony is completed, hurry up and take Fujin home and eat something good, it is not easy for this woman to die and her husband is dead, you have to treat it well. When everyone heard this, they immediately coaxed, and asked Cao Zhenyan to worship the woman immediately. Cao Zhenyan and the woman did not dare to object, so they had no choice but to carry it out.

After the ceremony, Huang Taiji said: "Since there is a happy event today, I can't be stingy, whoever is here, two catties of sorghum rice per person, and I will let the guards send it later." After speaking, Huang Taiji turned around and entered the palace gate, leaving only a group of people outside the palace gate to discuss today's strange event excitedly. Although most people didn't know the woman, through observation, they found that the woman looked good, so they congratulated Cao Zhenyan and said: Congratulations, congratulations, you have married such a beautiful wife. Only Cao Zhenyan knew what was going on, but he couldn't explain it publicly, so he could only smile his bitter gourd face into a flower, and then salute everyone in return.

It made Cao Zhenyan's eldest son Cao Eryu, who was standing aside, quite angry and embarrassed. The woman in front of her is a Yao girl who is quite famous in Shengjing City, and there are quite a few people in the Eight Banners who have some dewy karma with her. It's his Young Master Cao. I also did a few wild mandarin ducks with this Yao girl. However, this Yao girl has a natural curiosity, once the man is next to her, she feels that the muscles and bones of the whole body are paralyzed, making the man like lying on a cotton; is even more obscene and promiscuous, overpowering prostitutes. Especially that big mouth. You can even swallow the words under the man's crotch whole, and carefully taste them between one and the other. The taste of this makes every man who has been used have an endless aftertaste. However, now that the emperor has rewarded Ama with this living treasure, I am afraid that the hat on Amma's head will ......

After a while, the crowd dispersed, and Dolgon remained silent in the face of these things. Duoduo was a little out of breath, and he said to Dorgon, "Second brother, why don't you let people add to the fire, and just let the dead fat man go?" Dorgon snorted and said, "Let it go? In two days, you will know how the dead fat man died? Let's go back to the house for tea. After saying that, he didn't care about the confused Duoduo, and went straight to the car.

However, the situation seems to have developed contrary to Dorgon's expectations.

Just a few days after the turmoil. The group galloped into the south gate of Shengjing.

"The slave said hello to the emperor!" Sonny's eldest son, Kabula, fell to his knees in front of Huang Taiji, prostrating like pounding garlic. Maybe it's because he's blessed the soul. consciously made himself unkempt, allowing the dust accumulated on his face to be washed away by sweat one by one, making his face look like a watermelon.

Not to mention the results of his trip to Shandong, just this scene of loyalty and hard work made Huang Taiji quite happy.

"Message! Kabula is devoted to his duties and diligent in his work. I am very relieved. With a reward of half a future, add Niu Lu Zhangjing Shishi! ”

The master didn't ask himself how he was doing on this errand, but when he came up, he was promoted to the rank of knight, and suddenly Kabula had a feeling that he was dying as a confidant, except for the non-stop kowtowing on the ground to thank him. For a moment there was nothing to say.

"Your Majesty, shouldn't you let Lord Kabula get up and speak?" Hong Chengchou, who was invited to Qingning Palace by Huang Taiji, saw that he couldn't get into the main topic for a while, so he gently prompted.

"Kabula, get up and sit down and talk!"

"Slave thanks to the emperor's grace!" Kabula also knew that this pretentiousness had come to an end, and the play could not be played again, and if it was performed again, this drama of coming directly to face the Son of Heaven to return the holy order without going home to tidy up his appearance was about to be performed.

"Lord Kabula, the emperor sent you to Jinan to meet with Prince Li and ask for peace with the Nanyue army, how did you do it?" Hong Chengchou twisted his beard and asked Kabula quite majestically, although Huang Taiji did not have the slightest errand assigned to him at this time, but the majesty of Jiliao Governor and the Secretary of the Military Department, who had accumulated more than ten years of leading soldiers, could not be changed overnight? Although it was a slightly better embarrassing status than a captive at the moment, it was enough to deter middle- and lower-ranking officials like Kabula.

Taking the large sand boat used by Huang Yunfa's family to traffic back and forth and trafficking some valuable goods across the Bohai Bay, Kabula and his entourage crossed the Guanning defense line, which seemed to be impassable, smoothly and conveniently, and landed smoothly in Laizhou Bay. Also relying on the ambiguous relationship between the Huang family and the Nanyue Army, Kabula sent Huang Taiji a secret letter to Li Huayu, which clarified the intention and relevant conditions of the Qing State to surrender to the Nanyue Army and become a vassal under Grandpa Li.

"You're a smart man! Originally, I thought that the sea was cut off by the sailors in the direction of Ningyuan, and the direction of Guanning could not be walked, so I could only go to Shanxi through Xuanda, and finally from Shanxi to Jinan. Directly followed the Huang family's big ship to Denglai! ”

"The minion is just an errand runner! Everything still depends on the emperor's clever calculations and strategizing! "Kabula is Sony's son in the end, and he can be regarded as a family student, and this sycophant made Huang Taiji feel like sitting on the clouds.

"No more nonsense! What did the eldest son of the Li family say? ”

Huang Taiji's tone was very happy to hear it, and Kabula didn't say much, just took out an envelope wrapped in oiled paper and tightly sealed with fire paint from his ** pocket.

"Your Majesty, this is a letter written by Lord Li to the emperor, ordering the servants to present it to the emperor. Just in case, Master Li prepared two copies, and the other one was brought back by the shopkeeper Huang. ”

Li Huayu's letter is not unexpected, and even some of the words and sentences are in the pre-deduction of Huang Taiji and Hong Chengchou. The two of them didn't care about looking at those false diplomatic rhetoric, they just looked for important content.

Seeing the passage where Li Huayu agreed to send a delegation to Shengjing to negotiate the details of the Qing State's surrender to Chengcheng, and reported the relevant details to his father Li Shouhan, he couldn't help but let Huang Taiji and Hong Chengchou, as well as Fan Wencheng and others who rushed to hear the news, let out a long breath.

Along with Li Huayu's Yun and secret letters, there was also a gift brought by the Huang family from Beijing.

"The minions heard that the emperor had been unwell recently, and they deliberately found the ointment of longevity enjoyed by the Wanli Emperor in the capital of the Ming Kingdom, and there was a eunuch who served the emperor. This substance is quite effective in relieving pain and fatigue. Please smile at the emperor! ”

The shopkeeper of the Huang family said this when he sent the Fushou paste and the cigarette gun and tray, as well as the old eunuch who was waiting for Wanli to enjoy this thing and burn the smoke bubbles for him. (To be continued......)
