Huang Taiji picked up a copy of the Ming State's mansion newspaper from the case: "It is written that Chongzhen divided the officials who resisted the defeat of the country into five categories: one is the loss of the border guard, the second is the ruined city, the third is the loss of the feudal domain, the fourth is the lost commander, and the fifth is the wait-and-see army, calling it the five major bills." Thirty-six people who committed these five crimes were executed, including Deng Xizhao, the chief eunuch of Jizhou, Sun Maolin, the eunuch of the sub-prison, Chen Zubao, the governor of Shuntian, Sun Qiping, the governor of Baoding, Yan Jizu, the governor of Shandong, Wu Guojun, Chen Guowei, the chief military officers of Jizhou, and so on, and more than 100 people who were repatriated, cut down, dismissed, or demoted. After that, he ordered the little eunuch to give a copy of the newspaper to the officials present and distribute it

After reading the Di newspaper, the Han officials in the seat were a little unable to sit still, and the names of the executed officials listed in the Di newspaper were some of their old friends, Zhang Cunren said: "Chongzhen has no other ability, and if he loses the battle, he knows that he will take the courtiers to open the knife, and if it goes on like this, who is willing to die for him." ”

Dolgon also smiled: "After the army of my left and right wings converged in Zhuozhou, they divided into eight routes and rushed to Jinan. The Ming army was very alarmed, and they mobilized heavy troops and lined up in Dezhou, which was known as the barrier of Jinan, in order to block our advance. As a result, there was a hole in the defense of Jinan City. The courtiers remember the emperor's teachings, and they must be good at avoiding the real and making the false. At this time, Texas is real, Jinan is virtual, the emperor can detour to Mongolia, why can't we bypass Dezhou? So the ministers and others decided, leaving two armies to deal with them, and the other six roads of people and horses, detoured to Linqing, and unexpectedly smashed Jinan. Although Yan Jizu, the governor of Shandong, fell for our plan to divert the tiger from the mountain, he guarded Texas like an iron bucket. Let me have no chance, such a minister will also be executed, then Chongzhen is really blind......"

Huang Taiji smiled: "There are more new things. According to the spy workers, according to the regulations of the Ming Kingdom, before the minister was executed, he had to look at Que to thank him, but this time, Chen Zubao, Sun Qiping and more than a dozen people actually scolded Chongzhen for being a bastard. After Yan Jizu was Tang Zhongchen Yan Zhenqing, he scolded at the sun, how long is it going to be? I die with you. ”

Zu Kefa scolded: "Chongzhen claims to be Yao Shun, but in fact he is a thief, he killed Yuan Dutang alive, not to mention, today he executed thirty-six people together, appalling, outrageous, if you don't die, heaven will not tolerate it!" ”

Huang Taiji said: "Ling Zun is very alert, since Yuan Dutang was killed, he never left the barracks for half a step, otherwise, he would have already become a ghost under Chongzhen's knife." ”

Fan Wencheng said: "Your Majesty, the ministers are thinking, those ministers who were collectively executed by Chongzhen have changed from looking at the Que to looking at the scolding, this reborn change?" In the eyes of the ministers of the Ming Kingdom, Chongzhen is no longer a king, but a lone husband who can be obtained and punished by everyone like Jizhen. The rabbit died and the fox was sad, and those courtiers who were still alive were probably also desperate. Chongzhen first lost the hearts of the people, then lost the hearts of the army, and now he has lost the hearts of his ministers, it is really the end of the road, the mountains and rivers are exhausted, and the big tree has fallen. ”

"Mr. Fan's words are very pertinent, and I also think that this big tree has fallen!" Huang Taiji smiled proudly

Zu Kefa said: "The minister has three plans to extinguish the light, please consider it." ”

Huang Taiji smiled: "I would like to hear about it." ”

Zu Kefa said: "One is to directly smash the Yellow Dragon, that is, to take Yanjing directly, and it can die immediately; the second is to choke its throat, that is, to approach Shanhaiguan and break through; The third is to cut off the two wings, that is, to take Ning Jin first and clear the obstacles before the customs. ”

"Zuqing's family has listed three strategies, so which one do you want to use?" Huang Taiji nodded earnestly

"The first two plans are too slow, and the minister advocates using the first plan. Xi Deng Ai made a surprise attack, secretly crossed Yinping, captured Chengdu in one fell swoop, Adou surrendered, Shu Kingdom died, Yanjing is the heart of the Ming Kingdom, Yanjing is broken, and the whole country is invincible. Zukefa made a one-way stabbing motion

The Manchu and Han officials were encouraged by Fan Wencheng's comments and listened to Zu Kefa's arrogance, so they said one after another: "The Ming Dynasty is finished, the emperor, let's not be too careful, enter Yanjing City, and the Qing Dynasty will sit in the world." ”

Huang Taiji smiled slightly, and said: "Zu Chengzheng's plan to directly attack Huanglong is too urgent, I think it is inappropriate, and I think: After Yanjing is defeated, what will happen to the thieves in various places?" What about the soldiers of the kings of the various vassal kings? The generals of the Ming Kingdom are now suppressed by Chongzhen's idiot and cannot be used, once they get rid of the shackles, they know that there are no heroes like Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Sun Quan? The Central Plains is still left to the peasant army to make trouble, and we must cut off its arms first. Now the left and right armies have returned, and as soon as the mid-autumn is over, the 100,000 troops will all be marched to the Jinning front, and I will first have to fight with Hong Chengchou outside the pass. ”

The more Huang Taiji spoke, the more excited she became, and suddenly she felt as if her head had been slapped hard, and then she felt that her eyes were dazzled, and her nose was rushing, and before she could react, two nosebleeds spurted out of her nostrils, and Zu Kefa, who was close to her, splashed all over. The generals were shocked and hurriedly sent the imperial doctor. Huang Taiji had a nosebleed for the second time, and it was so rushed that the imperial doctor trembled with fright, and he stammered when he spoke: "Hurry ~~Tight~~~ Hurry up~~"

Du Du was in a hurry, went up and grabbed the collar of the imperial doctor, and slapped it twice, "Useless slave, if you don't say anything else, I'll kill you~~"

The imperial doctor was woken up by two slaps, he pressed the bridge of Huang Taiji's nose with one hand, and hurriedly ordered the guards: "Hurry up and bring a cool towel and a large basin of hot water." The Imperial Physician put a cool towel on Huang Taiji's forehead, then took off Huang Taiji's leather boots and put his feet in hot water. Then he shouted, "Go to the man and ask for some garlic, and mash it into a puree." The guard didn't dare to slack off, and soon brought the garlic paste, and the imperial doctor took the garlic paste from the guard, took out scissors, cut two round cloths, and pasted the garlic paste on it, just like two plasters, and pasted it on the Yongquan points on the feet of Huang Taiji. After a period of busyness, the blood gradually decreased, but after half a day, it still couldn't stop.

Du Du's tears flowed down in a hurry, seeing that there was more and more blood in the silver plate used by the little eunuch to receive blood, he said angrily: "Waste, rice bucket, why can't you stop?" If it goes on like this, how much blood does the emperor have to flow? ”

The Imperial Doctor was also sweating profusely, and he replied, "Don't worry, isn't it much less?" After a while, the imperial physician took out a Ma Bo from his pocket, poured Ma Bo ashes on the paper, and then folded the paper into a slit: "Your Majesty, you bear with it, the slave blows something into your nostrils, you must not sneeze." ”

Huang Taiji's head was stretched back, "um", Lang Zhong put the paper in front of Huang Taiji's nostrils, and gently blew along the fold of the paper, Ma Bo was blown into his nostrils, and soon, the blood was stopped, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Everyone noticed that the paper and cloth that had wiped the blood had been thrown to the ground, and according to the method just now, there was a shallow basin of water.

Huang Taiji's body was paralyzed at this time, his head was swollen, and he asked Lang Zhong weakly: "Imperial Doctor, why did I suddenly bleed?" ”

"Back to the emperor, because I am overworked and have too many thoughts, please pay attention to rest. Don't move in the next few days, lie still, and don't think too much, otherwise you will do it again. The Imperial Physician replied cautiously

Needless to say, Huang Taiji can't move now, he feels as if his whole body is falling apart, and his head is swollen, as if there is a lid pressing on it. It's easy to let him lie still, but it's too difficult for him to think about things, and he doesn't need to worry about that matter in the Great Qing Kingdom?

Huang Taiji could only wave his hand, "Disperse, I want to rest!" ”

"Wow!"

On the evening of April 17 in the 12th year of Chongzhen in the Ming calendar and 4th year of Chongde in the Qing calendar, the sky of Shengjing City is extremely beautiful. Brilliant sunsets unfolded from the western sky, piles and patches of re-air changing shapes, drifting and expanding

Under the glow of the sun, the palace lamps in Shengjing City are more solemn and brilliant.

The Chongzheng Palace, the Flying Dragon Pavilion, the Phoenix Tower and the Qingning Palace located on a high platform in the Daqing Gate extend the golden dome and cornices from the thick shade of the towering trees.

Octagonal heavy eaves are pointed, and the eight-sided corridor is a "axe eye" type partition door. Below is a 1.5-meter-high Sumeru pedestal, surrounded by a finely carved lotus net vase stone railing. The roof of the hall is covered with yellow glazed tiles, inlaid with green trimming, the flame bead top of the phase wheel in the middle, and there are eight iron chains around the treasure top that are connected with the wrestlers. The two large pillars in front of the hall are carved with two dragons, and there are exquisite Sanskrit ceilings and dragon-descending caisson wells in the hall. Majestic. The hall is equipped with thrones, screens, smokers, incense pavilions, crane-style candlesticks, etc. This hall is the place where Emperor Taizong of the Qing Dynasty held major ceremonies and important political activities.
