Chapter 369: Ming Xiu Plank Road, Dark Chen Cang
After reading this letter, Dolgon was also trembling with anger, and he couldn't wait to immediately dismantle this dog slave Hong Chengchou.
But he saw that Hong Chengchou didn't say a word this time, looked at his back as he was dragged away by the soldiers, and looked at the letter again, and he followed out of the camp.
Forcing his mind to calm down, Dorgon called over two of his own soldiers and gave them orders, and the two soldiers bowed as promised.
At this time, an imperial physician came over with several medical officers, and was about to enter the camp of the Empress Dowager of Xiaozhuang, when Dolgon stopped him, quietly pulled the imperial doctor aside, and whispered a few words.
The Imperial Physician was resigned, and then the Imperial Physician went in with a few medical officers.
After about half a burnt of incense, Dolgon entered the big tent of the Empress Dowager of Xiaozhuang.
The palace maids, eunuchs, medical officers, and imperial doctors inside hurriedly came over to give gifts to the regent.
Dolgon motioned for them not to be polite, not to make a noise, and came softly to the sickbed of the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang.
At this time, the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang was lying on the sickbed, pale, breathing weakly, as if she was asleep, and in the blink of an eye, it seemed like a different person.
Su Moer stayed beside him, his face was sad, and he secretly wiped his tears.
Dolgon looked at it, then turned around and quietly pulled the imperial doctor to the side, pretending to say, "How sick is the Queen Mother?"
The imperial doctor also took care of the matter: "If you go back to the regent, the queen mother is overworked and anxious, so it is not appropriate to bother anymore, and the slave will be given a few more medicines and recuperate for a period of time before recovery."
"There's Dr. Lao."
"The duty of a minion." ……
Dolgon had been staying here until the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang woke up, and the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang saw that Dolgon was about to sit up.
Dorgon quickly lifted her up and told her to lie down.
"The queen mother can't move lightly, just now the king asked the imperial doctor, the queen mother can no longer work for state affairs, it is important to recuperate with peace of mind, what is there to tell the king to do."
"Then there is Lord Lao...... You can't spare that dog minion. The Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang also felt that she was too tired, and coughed as she spoke, Su Mo'er hurriedly came over to beat her back.
Dolgon said: "Don't worry, the queen mother, this king will definitely break this bold dog thing into ten thousand pieces, no less than 3,000 knives."
After Dorgon was gone, the Empress Dowager opened her eyes and sat up from her bed.
"Lafayette ......" Su Mo'er hurriedly came to help her.
"I'm fine, just a little dizzy."
"It's time for Galeries Lafayette to take medicine." Su Mo'er hurriedly took the boiled medicine over.
"What kind of medicine is used, the mourning family is not sick." The Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang waved her hand.
Su Mo'er was puzzled and said, "But Lafayette, the imperial doctor said ......"
"Su Mo'er, don't believe the words of the imperial doctor, but the regent has recovered now and can continue to be regent, and the mourning family should rest."
……
When Dolgon came out of the account of the Empress Dowager of Xiaozhuang again, he felt much more down-to-earth in his heart, and there was no angry expression on his face, but he felt that Lin Yi's letter had helped him a lot, allowing him to regain the feeling of the previous regent of the Qing Dynasty.
He came out of the camp of the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang and went straight to the execution ground......
After Hong Chengchou was dragged out, he knocked off his official hat and rolled to the ground wearing a flower feather. Countless torches illuminated the place, and Hong Chengchou was tied to a pillar shirtless, looking even more skinny.
The Tartars in charge of the execution were preparing before Ling Chi, a basin of clean water, a set of meat cutting knives of various sizes, etc.
Because Ling Chi's execution is particular, there must be a number of knives to cut.
It is said that when Yuan Chonghuan was executed by Emperor Chongzhen, he was cut more than 3,000 knives, and when his flesh was cut off, the onlookers who did not know the truth rushed to buy and eat, and a generation of famous generals ended up so miserably, after Emperor Chongzhen was finally forced to hang, if he knew the truth of the matter in the underworld, he did not know if he repented of the matter.
Hong Chengchou definitely didn't expect the disaster to fall from the sky, just now he was a courtier who was a very human minister, and he discussed the state with the queen mother and the regent's ministers, and in the blink of an eye, he became a repeat offender who was to be executed by Ling Chi!
He hated Lin Yi, hated Lin Yi for hiding a knife in his smile, it was too vicious, and this time he was put to death. It's better to kill him in the Ming camp, and now he has to suffer this sin.
He hated himself even more, hated himself for being a traitor, it was really as deep as the sea when he entered the traitor, and it would be difficult to get on the thief ship and then think about it.
In front of him, he was about to be stabbed again, and Ling Chi was executed, this kind of capital punishment was chilling to think about.
This is not simply explained by the phrase "companion like a tiger", although Emperor Chongzhen is suspicious of the tiger, Hong Chengchou has been a famous official for many years and has become a dependent minister of the Ming Dynasty, but during this period he only felt the mightiness of the dragon, and Emperor Chongzhen did not move him at all.
And since he surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, the Manchu Tartars have always been wary of him, and they are pursuing a non-our race, and their hearts will be different. It wasn't until one day that they really believed that Hong Chengchou was truly surrendering to the Qing Dynasty and entrusted him with a heavy responsibility, but their wariness of him was not eliminated.
Especially since the Battle of Ningjin, Hong Chengchou has been loyal to the Qing Dynasty, and in his own words, he is a great name who has been sorry, and he must no longer be sorry for the Qing Dynasty.
But these Manchu Tartars have repeatedly tried to kill him, and Hong Chengchou, who is very good at thinking about life, has to come to a conclusion that it is too difficult to be a traitor!
Hong Chengchou was tied to the pillar, and his heart felt like he had knocked over the five-flavor bottle.
The executioner of the Tartars came again, his bare head shining in the light of the torches, the pigtails of money flicking behind his back, and the bright light of sharpening the knives in his hands.
The executioner came to him, fierce and pressing, Hong Chengchou didn't know where he started first?
I didn't dare to look at it, and closed my eyes.
At this time, I heard the executioner say: "My lord, there is an order from above, bear with it, don't blame the little one."
"Keep people under the knife!" At the critical moment, Dolgon's own soldiers appeared.
The two pro-soldiers came to the front and said a few words to the executioners, so that no one dared to execute Hong Chengchou anymore.
Until the regent appeared. As soon as the Qing soldiers and the two soldiers who were executed saw that the regent was coming, they came and hurried to give a salute.
Dolgon didn't say anything, drank the generals back, and personally loosened Hong Chengchou's rope.
Then the two cronies will help put on Hong Chengchou's clothes, and then leave with Hong Chengchou......
Then Hong Chengchou came to see the Empress Dowager of Xiaozhuang, at this time the Empress Dowager of Xiaozhuang had already gotten up from the bed, sitting in front of the dresser, Su Mo'er was combing her long hair, her face had returned to normal, and the boiled medicine was placed next to him without taking a sip.
Dolgon understood, this woman was really powerful, she knew everything, in this case, she didn't have to hide it, so she retreated, and there were only two of them left in the big tent.
Dolgon bowed and saluted: "Queen Mother, this king has already released people, please let the Queen Mother confess."
The Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang sighed softly, "The prince did the right thing, the mourning family is too uncalm during this time...... The surname Lin is ruthless enough, you persuade Hong Cheng Aiqing for the mourning family, and you can discuss the matter of peace talks. ”
Dorgon felt that this woman was a little great, and he was a little mean, and his face was tense, not without frustration.
Speaking of peace talks, Dolgon pondered: "Queen Mother, in fact, there is no need to discuss, what kind of reputation can be negotiated?" However, let Lord Hong go and talk to Lin Yi, this king only needs to use one person next to the Queen Mother, and I don't know if the Queen Mother is willing. ”
"The prince is talking about Su Mo'er, did the prince start beating her up a long time ago."
Dolgon lowered his head and said: "The queen mother is laughing, this king only has the queen mother in his heart, and there will never be a servant girl."
"Hmph." The Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang's face turned red and snorted lightly, "Let's get down to business, what does the prince plan to let Su Mo'er do?" ”
"Queen Mother Mingjian, let Su Mo'er go to Mingying, bring Lin Yi's head back, and all problems will be solved."
The Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang looked at Dolgon, and the two of them were silent for a moment, and then the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang called Su Mo'er in.
After Su Mo'er came in, she gave a gift to the two of them, but the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang stopped her, "Su Mo'er has a tricky matter that you need to do, are you willing?" ”
"Lafayette has something to do, even if he orders, the slave and maid will never give up."
"You pack up and go to Mingying and bring Lin Yi's head back to me." The Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang said that Lin Yi gritted her teeth a little.
Su Mo'er was stunned for a moment, and then promised: "The slave and maid will follow the decree of Lafayette, and the slave and maid will go and prepare."
Su Mo'er turned around and left as she spoke, and the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang stopped him, "Don't be so panicked, you live with the mourning family tonight, and leave tomorrow night, and you must come back alive and don't be hurt, so as not to distress the mourning family." ”
Su Mo'er was very moved, and knelt down to kowtow to the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang......
After Dolgon left the camp of the Empress Dowager of Xiaozhuang, he returned to his camp and ordered someone to bring Hong Chengchou up.
Hong Chengchou knelt down and kowtowed: "Thank you to the regent for the rescue, if it weren't for his personal help, I'm afraid the slave would have become a pile of minced meat."
"Get up." Dolgon helped him up, "You don't have to worry about today's matter, and the Queen Mother didn't intend to put you to death, this is all Lin Yi's trouble, making us mess up, the Queen Mother has already regretted it, and took back her life in time, so she let this king appease you." ”
Hong Chengchou has gone through several twists and turns, one will be a hero, one will be a criminal, one will be a five horses, one will ask him to give advice, one will want to execute him Ling Chi, and now he wants to appease him.
He is tired now, it seems that this traitor is still not enough, but he can't do it properly, and he can't help himself.
Therefore, he was grateful to Dolgon: "The slave is flattered, thank you for the grace of the queen mother and the prince, the slave will definitely do his best to serve the Qing Dynasty, serve the queen mother and the prince, bow to the end, and die."
Dolgon nodded approvingly: "Tomorrow to go to the Ming camp to negotiate, you will make a hard trip, deal with them, and agree to their conditions as much as possible, but try to delay the time, until the Ming army camp is in chaos, you will immediately get out and withdraw, this king will give him a Ming plank road, secretly Chen Cang, and then send someone to answer you." Then break the Ming army, and you will make a great achievement. ”
"The prince is strategizing, and the slave is in charge."
