August 24, Shengjing.

At dawn, the ministers of the two yellow flags took the oath collectively at the Daqing Gate, and then the soldiers of the two yellow flags stood around the palace with bows and arrows, and Sonny led the ministers to the Chongzheng Palace.

The Council of Ministers was held again in the Chongzheng Hall, and the Six Kings and the Ministers of the Council sat down separately.

Although Dai Shan sat in the middle of the main seat, he kept his head down and did not say a word, and Zilharang also had a gloomy face, from their faces, only hesitation and worry could be seen, and the people of Dolgon and Hauge did not expect them to help at all.

Seeing that Daishan and Zilharang were unwilling to offend Dolgon, Sonny got up and said, "The first emperor died and went away, but the first emperor left a prince, and the prince must be made the emperor!" ”

Baturu Obai hurriedly agreed, "Yes, the Qing Dynasty is the Qing Dynasty established by the first emperor, and the one who inherits the throne today can only be the prince!" ”

When Dolgon entered the temple just now, he had already seen the archers under the two yellow flags outside the main hall, although he was also prepared, but he did not want to see the sword soldiers, so he waved his hand and shouted: "You stand down for the time being, you are discussing at this time!" ”

Although Sonny and Baturu Obai were unwilling, Dolgon had not yet made a move, and it was not easy for them to use their knives directly, so they glanced at each other, pressed the handle of the knife with their hands, and slowly walked out of the main hall.

Both Azig and Dordor whispered to Dolgon to take his position, and Dolgon shook his head to calm them down.

Prince Yu Duoduo was young, and when he saw Dolgon's hesitation, he said angrily: "If you are not the emperor, then I will come, and my name is also in Emperor Gao's edict."

Dorgon glared at him and said, "Hauge's name is also in it, not just yours!"

Duoduo hurriedly shut up, at this time, the ministers of the two yellow flags did not specify that they wanted Hauge to succeed to the throne, and Hauge must not be given a chance!

Seeing that there was no movement in the hall, the ministers of the two yellow flags were afraid that Daishan, Jilharang and Dolgon would reach a compromise, and they couldn't bear it for a while, so someone went up to the palace with a sword and said loudly: "The first emperor has great kindness to us, if we don't set up the first emperor's prince, we would rather follow the first emperor to death!" ”

These were all important ministers of the imperial court, the most elite cavalry generals personally in charge of Huang Taiji during his lifetime, and they had made full preparations and arrangements, and Dolgon knew that the possibility of forcibly succeeding to the throne no longer existed.

Looking at Hauge, whose face was like ashes, a sneer appeared on his face, the people of the two yellow flags did not ask for Hauge to succeed him, proving that Hauge had been abandoned by them, and it seemed that his threat to the old generation of goodness still played a role in secret.

Dolgon's face was calm, he stroked his chin with his hand, and looked coldly at the two yellow flag clowns in front of him, although he couldn't fight with them today, but one day, these people would kneel in front of him.

Since you can't succeed to the throne, you should try your best to get the best interests for yourself, for your brothers, for the two white flags, and Bumu Butai......

He glanced at the ministers of the two yellow flags, and said coldly: "You guys stand down and let Turg and Sonny come over!" ”

The ministers looked at Dolgon's face and knew that the last hour had come, and Dolgon was the prince, how could they dare to offend? If it weren't for the large number of people, they would never dare to break into the main hall with their swords......

Seeing that the crowd was still hesitating, Dorgon shouted, "Don't you retreat? When you enter the temple with your sword, do you want to rebel? ”

The ministers then withdrew, and in a moment, Turg and Sonny came in and looked at Dorgon.

Dolgon's face softened slightly, and he didn't give up his seat, and said lightly: "You keep saying that you want to establish the prince of the first emperor, which one do you want to appoint?" ”

Seeing that Dolgon's mouth was loose, Turg was secretly happy in his heart, and hurriedly said: "The ministers must ...... up."

Dolgon interrupted Turg with a wave of his hand, "Do you know who my most reliable ally is?" ”

"Allies?" Turg was confused for a while, today's Council of Ministers is to support the new emperor, what is the relationship with the allies? Could it be that the Qing Dynasty should appoint anyone as the new emperor and seek the opinions of its allies? However, seeing that Dolgon's expression was not good, he finally said: "My staunchest ally in the Qing Dynasty is naturally the Korqin people!" ”

"Yes, Horqin is indeed the most loyal ally of the Qing Dynasty," Dolgon said in a deep voice, "So if you make a prince today, you must set up a prince with Horqin blood to appease the heart of an ally!" He glanced at the ministers and said coldly: "Otherwise, this king will never agree!" ”

"Korqin blood?" Sonny muttered in a low voice, half of his heart fell, as long as he was the prince of the first emperor, it didn't matter who he made the emperor, he thought for a moment and said: "There is only the Nine Emperors who have the blood of Horqin!" ”

"Then make the Nine Emperors emperors!" Dolgon's voice was very dark, even above the court, it was very terrifying! "Do you have any objections?"

Azig and Dordo were to speak, but Dorgon stopped them, and he winked at them, and did not let them speak.

Turge shuddered and said, "But the Nine Emperors are only six years old......

Dolgon frowned and said, "Except for the Nine Emperor Princes, there is no Korqin bloodline?" ”

Turg said: "It seems that there are only the Nine Emperor Princes......"

"Then the Nine Emperors, there is no need to argue," Dolgon said in a deep voice: "The Qing Dynasty cannot be left without an owner, and it is not forbidden to toss, this king hopes that you can all take care of the overall situation, Ao, it is your idea to establish a prince, and it is this king who takes care of the overall situation!" ”

Turg and Sonny looked at each other and glanced at each other, it is not impossible to set up the Nine Emperor Princes, but the Nine Emperor Princes are too young, and they must have ministers to assist them until they reach adulthood!

Sonny bowed and said, "I don't know who Prince Rui has arranged to assist the government?" ”

"Naturally, it's the regent of this king!" Dolgon glared at Turg and Sonny, you proposed to "establish a prince", this king agreed, you have to take a step back, right? Behind this king, the warriors of the two white flags also have scimitars!

Turg was taken aback, by Dolgon's regent, once Dolgon has the authority in the court, his own people will do everything possible to obstruct Dolgon's succession to the throne today, and they will not be the target of purges in the future?

He shook his head at Sony, who immediately understood what he meant, and said, "Prince Rui Mingjian, the auxiliary minister, can never be only one person......"

Dolgon looked at Sonny with a cold gaze, "According to Qi Xinlang, who else is the regent?" ”

Sonny knew that Dolgon was Prince Rui, and if he wanted to limit his power, ordinary ministers couldn't do it at all, except for Dolgon's brothers Azig and Duoduo, only Prince Dai Shan, Prince Hauge Su, and Prince Zheng Zierharang.

He looked at Dai Shan, who didn't want to be an enemy of the young, strong, wise and domineering Dolgon, so he shook his head and said, "This king is old and has little energy!" ”

Sonny seems to know Dai Shan's thoughts, and he doesn't force it, but he looks at Hauge next to Dai Shan, at this time, Hauge's face is like ashes, his eyes have lost their luster, and he doesn't feel anything like a walking corpse, he has a little boredom in his heart, such a stupid person, even if he is an auxiliary government, will be controlled by Dorgon in the future.

Only Zilharang remained, and Zilharang was inclined to establish a prince, and his opinion was similar to that of the two yellow flags.

In order to restrain Dolgon, Sonny played tricks, "Prince Rui, Prince Zheng will be the first regent, and Prince Rui will be the second regent, and the Nine Emperors will be able to govern the Qing Dynasty in an orderly manner!" ”

"What, Second Regent?" Dolgon really didn't expect Sonny to put himself in the position of second regent, and was about to speak out against it, when he turned his eyes to look at Zilharang beside him, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously showed a strange smile, "Okay, according to Qi Xinlang, the Nine Emperor Princes will succeed to the throne, Prince Zheng and this king will be regents, if everything goes well, the Nine Emperor Princes will be able to ascend the throne tomorrow!" ”

Duoduo heard that Dorgon did not ascend the throne, but as a regent, he could barely accept it, but Dorgon was only the second regent, and he was dissatisfied, and was about to speak, but was stopped by Dorgon, so he had to stare at Turg and Sonny fiercely, and that look seemed to stab the two of them through the heart!

Turg and Sonny hurriedly retreated and discussed with the ministers of the two yellow flags outside the main hall.

Because it was the prince who succeeded him, it was difficult for the people of the two yellow flags to oppose it, and this compromise plan between the two sides was immediately recognized.

The Nine Emperor Princes, Fu Lin, inadvertently picked up the throne; Dorgon failed to inherit the throne, but became regent, which was compensated; Although Zilharang is the first regent, he has to face the domineering and aggressive three Dolgon brothers every day, and his heart is like pins and needles; The most pitiful is Hauge, an excellent hand, because he has to learn from him Amma pretending, and in the end he has nothing to gain, and is despised by the Dorgon brothers and the two yellow flags......

In order to avoid long nights and dreams, the Council of Ministers decided on the spot: The Nine Emperor Princes are blessed, inherit the unification, and hold the enthronement ceremony tomorrow!

The issue of the succession to the throne is irrevocable, but Sonny is in a-for-tat confrontation with Dolgon in the Chongzheng Hall today, worried that Dolgon, as the regent, will use the power in his hands to retaliate against himself and the ministers of the two yellow flags in the future.

Almost at the same time, Dolgon and Fulin's biological mother, Concubine Zhuang Bumu Butai, met in the capital city god temple, both to celebrate and to complain to each other.

Bumu Butai had nothing to repay, so he could only express his gratitude with his body, but tomorrow was the enthronement ceremony of Fulin, and the two of them, as extremely important personnel in the inner palace and the outer ministers, must go back to fully prepare for ceremonial matters, and their gratitude can only be hastily done.

Bumu Butai tied his dress and kissed Dolgon's face, "Prince Rui, today is in a hurry, I can't have fun, and I will ...... in the future."

"It's a long time coming!" Dolgon put his arms around Bumu Butai, already thinking about the embroidery bed in Yongfu Palace......

On August 25, the Nine Emperor Princes Fulin succeeded to the throne in the Chongzheng Palace, with the year name Shunzhi, and the following year will be changed to the first year of Shunzhi.

Bumu Butai hid behind the side of the main hall, she lifted the curtain, and looked at the smoky hall, Fu Lin was already sitting on the dragon chair, accepting the worship of the ministers, and the stone in her heart had just landed.

Suddenly, I felt a heat on my face, and I looked down at Dolgon, who was standing at the front of the courtiers, who was now turning his head and looking at her affectionately......
