Chapter 574: Shengjing's funeral
As soon as Dorgon agreed, the officials below immediately began to chant words of support: "The Lord Regent is above, and we will follow the allegiance to the death!" “
"Well, everyone Aiqing is flat." Dolgon smiled, stretched out his right hand, and made a gesture of support to the crowd.
At this time, Fan Wencheng, as the initiator, was even more proud. For he could clearly see that Dorgon had cast that pleased and appreciative gaze upon him.
And Dorgon, who was sitting on the tiger's head chair, saw that his regent was so embraced, and his joy could hardly be expressed in words.
Fortunately, he has been in politics for a long time, and finally suppressed the untimely desire in his heart, and there was no place to show his gaffe.
Dolgon then ordered that all the officials who had come to him should continue to serve the Qing Dynasty in the same position as before, and at the same time give great rewards, or knighthoods, or futures, or silver taels.
And Ning Wan I, who was the first to advocate the establishment, and Fan Wencheng, who proposed Dolgon as the regent, were promoted by Dolgon, and Ning Wan I was added to the third-class Jialazhangjing, and Fan Wencheng went further and added the second-class Jialazhangjing to show his honor.
After appeasing the officials who had surrendered to him, Dolgon ordered that because of the urgency of the state affairs, a national funeral should be held immediately, and at the same time the whole country would mourn, and then Emperor Chongde would be temporarily buried outside Liaoyang City, and after taking Shengjing in the future, he would choose Jiyang to be reburied near Shengjing.
Dolgon thought about it carefully, and decided to send an envoy to inform the Ming Dynasty of the news of the emperor's death according to the peace agreement between the Ming and Qing dynasties.
After all, in Dolgon's view, this peace agreement between the Ming and Qing dynasties is still very useful for himself now.
Because, if you follow it effectively, first, you can continue to make huge profits through trade with the Ming Dynasty, and secondly, you can relieve your own worries, so that you can concentrate your forces and concentrate on dealing with Haoge. Therefore, to do such superficial work, its intrinsic interests are the most important.
Of course, Dolgon also knew that in fact, even if he did not inform the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty, which was weak and dying, would not have the ability to express his dissatisfaction. But such a superficial article has been done, firstly, to show his benevolence, righteousness and virtue, and secondly, to block the mouth of the middle of the court, but the effect is very good.
As for Hauge's side, Dorgon didn't plan to send someone to inform him, but after thinking about it, he decided to send an envoy to Hauge to explain the cause of the emperor's death.
After all, if he didn't tell him the news of the emperor's killing and death, after informing the Ming Dynasty, Hauge would definitely know about it quickly, so that he hated himself even more, and the soldiers and civilians in Shengjing City would unite more closely around Hauge. Rather than such a result, it is better to send someone to tell him, and at the same time, it is also possible to let the sent messenger finally make a gesture of redemption to Hauge, in order to show that he has done his best to be benevolent and has no choice but to use his sword.
In this way, he will show more outstanding posture and benevolence and righteousness, and it will also be more conducive to establishing his own image of a Ming monarch and a hero, and it will be more conducive to winning the hearts of the subjects in the Qing Dynasty.
In this task, Fan Wencheng, who was in the limelight because of the persuasion of the regent, volunteered to go forward in order to win greater merit for himself. Seeing that Fan Wencheng was so eager to show his merits, Dolgon was secretly proud in his heart, but on the surface, he praised him well, and sent a group of elite cavalry to escort him.
Next, Dolgon ordered, immediately held a simple funeral for Huang Taiji, in the east of Liaoyang, to Huang Taiji at random to choose a place to bury, because the weather is extremely cold and the ground is frozen and hard to dig the mausoleum, and because the future will be relocated to Shengjing, so it is just hastily filled with floating soil, and this is the matter.
Subsequently, Dolgon dispatched troops and sent a group of soldiers and horses who came to take refuge in him to the borders of various places, so as to strictly prepare for the Tang army to take the opportunity to attack and harass the border. The most elite soldiers and horses are still stationed in Liaoyang, and Duoduo is responsible for stepping up training, preparing to quickly go north with the whole trained army led by himself before the heavy snowfall, and then attack Shengjing in an all-out way, striving to take Shengjing City in one fell swoop and destroy the Haoge Department with one blow.
He secretly thought that only after Shengjing City was taken by himself and all the Haoge tribes were wiped out, could he finally ascend the throne smoothly and become the emperor of the Qing Dynasty who was truly subdued by everyone......
Two days later, in the morning, Fan Wencheng, under the protection of a group of cavalry, came to the outside of Shengjing City.
As the New Year approached, the weather became colder and colder, and on the day they arrived, the sky began to rain with freezing rain, and the weather became extremely cold, and the potholes and water outside the city were covered with smooth and mirror-like ice, which looked like shining mirrors from a distance.
Then, Fan Wencheng's team, under the banner of a messenger, carefully avoided the ice mirrors that could kill horses all the way, and finally came to the heavily guarded South Gate City.
Fan Wencheng sent people to shout to the city, saying that he was an envoy sent by Dolgon, asking to see Hauge, the prince of Su.
When the soldiers guarding the city heard the order, they saw that Fan Wencheng and the others were all looking like filial piety, and they were immediately taken aback, and hurriedly went to report to Haoge, who was personally training soldiers and horses in the city square.
When he heard the report from the soldiers, saying that Dorgon had sent someone over, and that he was still wearing filial piety, Hauge's face suddenly turned pale.
No, Dolgon sent someone over, and he was still very filial, doesn't that mean......
Hao Ge didn't think much about it, and immediately called Ao Bai and rushed to the south gate of Shengjing together.
The two of them came up to the city, but they saw a group of plain clothes and horses, standing outside the moat that was frozen into a crystal jade belt, the person at the head of them was not Fan Wencheng, a university scholar, who else could it be?
Seeing that Fan Wencheng, a scholar from the Han University, came in person, Haoge couldn't help but feel a cloud of anger in his heart.
He knew that this Fan Wencheng was originally employed in the Shengjing Wenguan, and he was very valued by his father Khan, and he had never given him benefits in order to win over this guy who was valued by his father Khan in the past, but he didn't expect that at this critical juncture, this person probably weighed it repeatedly, and decided that he would eventually fail, so he gave up his job and went to Liaoyang to join Dolgon, which is really hateful.
At this time, Na Fan Wencheng had also seen clearly that Haoge and Ao Bai had already walked to the city. When he and Hauge looked at each other, Fan Wencheng suddenly felt an indescribable taste in his heart.
Of course, he knew that he had received a lot of favor from the emperor, and Hauge had also tried his best to win him over, but out of practical considerations, he finally went to Dolgon, which was really dishonorable and enough to make people sick.
It's just that in this world, for the sake of power and wealth, I can only give up these old favors and vote for a new master. Hauge, if you want to complain about me, if you want to complain, you will blame yourself for not being strong enough.
Thinking of this, Fan Wencheng sighed lightly, and shouted loudly towards the city: "Prince Su, Fan is here to deliver important news to you and others on the order of the regent. You need to know that the emperor has passed away some time ago, when the Eastern Expeditionary Army returned to Fushun, and has now been temporarily buried outside Liaoyang City, Tokyo. “
Hearing this bad news like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, Hauge suddenly felt that his eyes were dark, his whole body shook, and he almost fell from the city.
"You, what do you say......"
Hauge, who had regained his footing, turned pale with misery, his eyes were instantly covered with a layer of tears, and he almost subconsciously asked again.
Although Hao Ge was mentally prepared to see Fan Wencheng and the others being the grandsons of Su Su, when he really heard the news of Huang Taiji's death, he was still hit hard, and he almost couldn't help but want to cry out loud.
Now that Huang Taiji has died, that is to say, he can no longer expect Khan Ama to recover in order to return to power and restore the Qing Empire to its original state.
From now on, you must abandon all illusions, and fight Dolgon to the end with your own strength.
For this heavy task, Hauge told the truth, although he made a determined and fearless appearance on the surface, but in his heart, he was still very resistant.
However, even if he has been immersed in the political arena for many years, he naturally understands that now is not the place to show weakness and incompetence, so he quickly woke up from his weak and sloppy state, so he said sharply to Fan Wencheng: "Fan Wencheng, you thief, explain clearly to this king, how did I Khan Ama pass away?" Honestly, was Khan Ama murdered by the treacherous dog thief Dorgon?! “
Listening to Haoge's fierce inquiry, Fan Wencheng's face flashed with a hint of embarrassment, he groaned slightly, but quickly replied: "Prince Su, you are wrong to blame the regent." After the emperor returned from the Eastern Crusade, he has been in a state of dementia that cannot be controlled, but when it came to Fushun, for some reason, he suddenly fell ill at night, and after grabbing a medicine cutting knife, he attacked the people around him. Then, the regent arrived in a hurry, however, the emperor had already died, and there was no room for recovery. Seeing this tragic situation, the regent wept bitterly and almost fainted. Later, in order to appease the anger of the people, the medical officer and two of his disciples were killed together to punish him for his medical inskill and disrespectful murder. Prince Su, this matter has been seen by many people, and it is not a statement that can be made up at will. If Prince Su didn't believe it, he could go to Liaoyang with Fan to investigate in person, and he would naturally find that what Fan said was true, and there was no deception. “
Listening to Fan Wencheng's words, Haoge was very suspicious, but after thinking about it for a while, he immediately felt that Fan Wencheng's words were just lies.
He raised his head and let out two miserable laughs, and then said sharply: "Fan Wencheng, you are here to make up false words, do you think that this king can't see that you are lying?!" Since the emperor was injured, he has been lazy in eating and drinking, his limbs are weak, and even if he suddenly falls crazy, he is also weak and weak. With such a lie, you can only deceive children. According to this king's guess, it must be that Dolgon's wolf ambition and desire to seize the supreme power to control my Qing Dynasty, so when he saw that the emperor might have recovered his sanity, he was worried that the emperor would ask him to hand over power in order to regain power and rule our Qing Empire again. How can such a despicable and vicious method be concealed from me! Hate my Khan Ama new funeral, then Dolgon can't wait to appoint himself a regent, this face of stealing power and profit, is really disgusting! “
Fan Wencheng heard Haoge's sharp and direct words, and even guessed the truth of the matter, he couldn't help but feel a little weak in his heart, and his face felt irritable, but now he could only grit his teeth and not let go. After all, the emperor has already entered the ground, and even if Haoge is suspicious again, it cannot be confirmed.
So, after Haoge finished speaking, Fan Wencheng pretended to sigh bitterly, and replied loudly: "Prince Su, I also know that no matter how much Fan says now, you won't believe it." It's just that justice is at ease in the hearts of the people, and no matter how much Fan defends himself, it is useless. However, although Fan had to go to Liaoyang, Tokyo to serve, he was also deeply favored by the emperor in the past, and Prince Su also took care of Fan, and all kinds of kindness are hard to forget. Therefore, after passing on the bad news, Fan also had some heartfelt words, wanting to tell Prince Su the truth, and hoping that Prince Su could listen to Fan's heartfelt words. “
"Hmph, since you have gone away from the king and gone to seek refuge with the thief Dorgon, what nonsense do you have to say to this king? From the king's point of view, you must have been ordered by Dolgon to come to report the funeral of Khan Amma, and you have come to persuade this king to surrender, so it is true, right? Hauge sneered and said sarcastically.
"Prince Su is right, you thieves are here to persuade you to surrender! Still pretending to say what to mourn and change, in my opinion, you must think that now that the emperor has passed, then Dolgon should be a logical successor to the throne as the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, right? Bah! You want to be beautiful, and you don't ask me if I agree to this big bow in my hand! Hmph, grandpa, I don't want to listen to your noise, wait for Hugh to escape, and eat me first! “
Ao Bai, who had an angry face on the side, gritted his teeth and said loudly, took the bow and arrow from his back with a gesture, and wanted to shoot Fan Wencheng directly, so frightened that Fan Wencheng and the group of escort cavalry wanted to pull out their horses immediately.
Unexpectedly, his actions were stopped by Hauge in a low voice.
"Don't be impatient, listen to their farts, let's make the next decision, it's not too late!" Hauge whispered. “
"Ahem, what do you have to say to these turtle grandchildren, it's just a waste of words, it's better to shoot these villains with an arrow, which makes me even happier." Ao Bai was very dissatisfied with Haoge's stopping, but he still obeyed the order, slowly put away his bow and arrows, and muttered in his mouth: "Okay, and let them put a few more bullshit, then, Prince Su, you order, I will lead a detachment of troops and horses out of the city, and I will definitely be able to capture all these guys, and then all of them will be handed over to Prince Su to dispose of." “
