Chapter 182: Infighting in the court
A group of people discussed for a long time, quarreled for a long time, and finally did not come up with a reason.
Some people say that this is the enemy playing an empty city plan, in fact, there are not many soldiers and horses in this camp, and the soldiers and horses patrolling outside the camp are actually all disguises.
The enemy's main force had already been secretly hiding, preparing to attack the city from other directions while they were unprepared.
Some people also say that the enemy is hiding in the camp, that is, deliberately showing weakness, so that they can underestimate the enemy, and then send troops to steal the camp, and when the time comes, the ambush troops will enter and exit, and it will be too late to kill another measure.
Both of these arguments were supported by a group of people, and the two sides could not convince each other, and they quarreled in the palace hall one by one, and the quarrel was so red that they still refused to give in to each other.
Dai Shan and Ji Erharang, who were sitting on it, kept their faces calm and did not speak, and the little emperor Fulin sitting on the throne was pale under the scene of the quarrel, his lips were tightly closed, he didn't dare to say a word, and tears were about to come out of his eyes.
Behind the throne was a small cubicle with a beaded curtain, and in it was the figure of a woman.
The two sides quarreled for a long time, but there was no result, Daishan and Zilharang still didn't speak, and the scene was as chaotic as a vegetable market.
At this moment, a voice suddenly froze the noise.
"What the hell is going on, send a small team of people out to find out, why quarrel."
It was a woman's voice, coming from behind the beaded curtain.
It was neither loud nor small, but it was enough for everyone in the hall to hear it clearly.
Everyone stopped and looked at the figure behind the beaded curtain, their eyes with different meanings, but there was some surprise in each pair of eyes.
Obviously, everyone didn't expect her to speak when the main hall was deliberating.
"The Queen Mother, what she said is reasonable." Zilharang got up and nodded slightly behind the beaded curtain, which was considered a salute.
This woman is the biological mother of the little emperor Fulin, the original concubine of Huang Taiji, Concubine Zhuang of Yongfu Palace, that is, the Empress Dowager of Xiaozhuang who is rumored to be very powerful in history.
That is, the biological mother of the Manchu princess Yatu who was captured by Jiangchuan, Bumu Butai.
She and Concubine Hai Lanzhu, who died of smallpox, are both women of the Horqin tribe in Mongolia, and the two are still cousins, and they married Huang Taiji together, which is also a means of forming alliances.
In order for his son to become emperor, Bumu Butai did not hesitate to commit himself to Dolgon, and finally let his son ascend to the throne.
But I didn't expect that although my son became the emperor, I also became the queen mother by virtue of my mother.
But she found that everything was very different from what she had imagined.
Bumu Butai is a politically ambitious woman with a heartfelt thirst for power. I thought that my son would become the emperor, and there was also the assistance of Dolgon in the foreign court, and I, the queen mother, would definitely have a great say in the court.
But I didn't expect that Dolgon himself actually wanted to be the emperor in his heart, although he was forced to promote Fulin as the emperor due to the situation, but his heart was unwilling to be the emperor.
And he didn't look down on the abilities of a little doll and a woman, so as soon as he became the auxiliary king, he quickly showed signs of dictatorship, and even Zilharang, who was with him, didn't take it very seriously, let alone Bumu Butai and a six-year-old little emperor.
Bumu Butai was disappointed, but she knew that she had to endure and continue to curry favor with Dolgon, otherwise their mother and son would probably not even be able to save their lives.
It's just that he never expected that the first battle of Dolgon's army was a big defeat, and he was seriously injured and unconscious. The situation between the DPRK and China was quickly controlled by Daishan, and even Zilharang was about to become an ornament.
At this time, Bumu Butai didn't dare to act rashly, and was a puppet with peace of mind.
At today's court meeting, Daishan sent someone to invite their mother and son to come, in fact, it was just a symbol, and she knew it very well in her heart.
It's just that she listened for a long time, and finally couldn't stand the noise below and the stupidity of those noble generals, so she opened her mouth to interrupt their quarrel.
Zilharang said, Bumu Butai was a little surprised, but also a little happy, and hurriedly nodded to Zilharang behind the bead curtain as a return gift.
Only Dai Shan still didn't speak, he smoked the hookah in his hand, took a sharp breath, spit out a smoke ring, and said slowly: "This is a major matter of the imperial court, the queen mother, please respect yourself, don't interject casually." ”
Dai Shan originally had a grudge against Huang Taiji and Dolgon, but now that he is in power, how can he be kind to Bumu Butai.
This sentence suddenly made Bumu Butai's face red, as if he had been slapped hard, he was stunned behind the bead curtain, and a pair of big eyes stared at the back of the old Daishan, unable to tell whether he was angry or surprised.
She finally understood that Dai Shan invited their mother and son to the main hall not to respect, but to humiliate her to emphasize her authority, and her heart was suddenly full of resentment, biting her ruddy and full lips, eager to bite Dai Shan to death.
But she didn't do anything in the end, and after a while, she said in a flat voice: "The mourning family lost their words for a while, and I ask Prince Li, Prince Zheng and all the princes and ministers to forgive me." ”
Everyone in the hall looked at Dai Shan in disbelief, and then looked at the shadow behind the bead curtain, and looked at each other for a while, and the atmosphere suddenly became embarrassing.
At this time, the six-year-old little emperor Fulin finally couldn't help it and cried with a wow.
Dai Shan stood up with a black face, knocked the cigarette pouch and pot twice on the soles of his boots, let the cigarette ash fall on the spotless marble floor, and snorted coldly and said unhurriedly: "What are you crying about, what kind of place is this, this is a place for the imperial court to discuss military affairs, not a place for women to intervene and children to cry." If you want to cry, go back and cry. ”
Dai Shan's words stunned the princes and ministers below, and everyone looked at this wrinkled Prince Li in a daze, not knowing how he could suddenly say such a rebellious thing.
After all, the above two are still the king of a country and the queen mother, Dai Shan's words just now are the same tone as reprimanding the women and children in his house, which can not be surprising.
Dai Shan's words frightened the little emperor Fulin to stop at once, his cry seemed to be suddenly stuck in his throat, his little face turned pale, and he turned his head timidly to look at Bumu Butai behind the bead curtain.
"Prince Li, the mourning family is the widow of the first emperor, the current queen mother, Fulin is the current emperor of the Qing Dynasty, as a courtier, how can you say such a rebellious words without a king and a father, what are you going to do?"
Bu Mu Butai behind the bead curtain finally couldn't help it, opened the bead curtain and rushed out, hugged Fu Lin in his arms, stared at Dai Shan, and reprimanded angrily with a red face.
Dai Shan snorted coldly, slowly inserted the cigarette pouch and pot in his hand into the jade belt around his waist, and was about to speak, when a hurried voice came from outside the hall:
"Report! The enemy drove thousands of Qing civilians to begin to attack the city. ”
