Except for the bows and swords hanging on the walls, the furnishings of Dolgon's study are no different from those of ordinary Han people's homes.

The tables and chairs in the book are Suzhou-like furniture from the Ming Kingdom, elegant with a bit of bookish atmosphere, and Dolgon, dressed in regular clothes, sits at the desk, ignoring his hairstyle, which is the appearance of an ordinary reader.

Although Dorgon often showed how much he respected the Jurchen traditions in front of the soldiers of the two white flags, the exquisite artifacts of the Ming Kingdom could be seen everywhere in his home. Just like the illuminated glass lamp in front of him, under the crystal clear glass lampshade is a whale candle from the Ming Kingdom, which is bright and smokeless when lit, and is Dorgon's favorite lighting instrument for reading books at night.

Dorgon pretended to love and respect the Jurchen traditions, but this was only to win the support of the old Jurchens and conservative forces. Although he did not receive any guidance, after seeing Huang Taiji's political gesture of being close to the Han Chinese, Dolgon naturally chose to side with the old Jurchen forces.

Young Dorgon matured rapidly after witnessing his mother being forced to die by the four Baylors, and his timid brother Azig shivering in the corner, afraid to stand up to protect his mother.

In order to survive under the watchful eye of the four Baylors and keep the two white flags, he learned the political skills of his allies without a teacher, and the enemy of his enemies is the political skills of his allies. took refuge in Huang Taiji in order to resist the aggressive momentum of the other three Baylors. To curry favor with the Jurchen conservative forces is to resist Huang Taiji's division and co-optation of the two white flags.

The so-called Jurchen conservative forces are actually the meritorious groups that followed Nurhachi's founding of the country, that is, the so-called vested interests. After Nurhachi successively struggled with the forces of his younger brother, eldest son, five founding ministers and second son, the biggest vested interest in the Houjin State was the former Two Yellow Flags, which are now the Two White Flags.

After Huang Taiji ascended to the throne, in order to consolidate his power, he first changed the flag to suppress the political status of the two white flags, and then raised the status of the Han people in the country, and liberated nearly forty percent of the Han slaves in the fields of the Eight Banners.

Therefore, compared with other banners, the two white flags are the group that is most nostalgic for the rule of the first Khan and the most dissatisfied with the current policies of the Later Jin. Dolgon's respect and love for the Jurchen tradition made these two white flag soldiers see the possibility of restoring their former glory, and thus closely rallied around the Dolgon and Dordor brothers.

However, when Nurhachi rebelled against the Ming, he wanted to live the same life as the Han people, not to maintain any Jurchen traditions.

The palace of the Han people is more comfortable than the longhouse built by the Jurchens in the mountains and forests. The exquisite utensils made by the Han people are always better than the rough Ben Jiashi made of wood by the Jurchens. After using the whale candles used by the Han people, who else would like the smoky and dim smell of butter candles?

Therefore, no matter how much he belittled the culture of the Han people, Dolgon returned home and honestly used everything made by the Han people. Of course, those Jurchen conservative forces who keep saying that they want to respect the tradition, and returning home is no exception.

However, there are also a few fools who really believe in this set, for example, every time Duoduo sees these Han artifacts in Dorgon's study, his nose is always not a nose, and his eyes are not eyes, so he rarely comes to Dolgon's study.

Dolgon's health has always been poor, so he has been paying attention to the rules of his diet since he was a child. He unexpectedly didn't show up at dinner time, which made Dodor worry, so he broke the old taboo and ran to the study.

The sharp-eyed Duoduo soon saw that Dorgon was leaning back in the circle chair and staring at the stack of papers on the table in front of him. The young Duoduo had not learned much about the city, so he quickly stepped forward and grabbed the stack of papers from the table and looked through them.

When Dorgon snatched the letter in front of him, Dorgon came to his senses, and he quickly reached out to grab the letter back, but the quick Dordor took a step back and avoided his brother's obstruction.

Although Duoduo did not like to learn Chinese characters, thanks to the simplified characters and vernacular scripts that became popular in the Ming Kingdom, he got rid of the semi-literacy level of not knowing Chinese before.

This letter was written by Du Du, who had good attainments in sinology, but he was isolated by the Later Jin magnates, and he did not have any other social activities to participate in before he became an adult, except for martial arts training and reading.

However, although this letter was written to the Dorgon brothers, it also needed to be reviewed by Chongzhen, and in order to cater to the emperor's habit of simplifying characters and vernacular characters, Du Du naturally used simplified characters and plain words to write this letter.

Therefore, Dodor did not encounter any obstacles in reading the letter, and quickly read the contents of the letter in ten lines. Dorgon then got up and walked over to him, took the letter from his hand, and lit a fire at the illuminated whale candle, watching as the pages burned to ashes.

When Dorgon was staring at the burning paper, Duoduo behind him was already enraged by the contents of the letter, and after taking a few big breaths, Duoduo stared at his brother's back with red eyes and asked, "Is what Du Du said in the letter true, the eldest concubine was really forced to death by Khan..."

"Shut up." With a recold, Dorgon interrupted his brother to continue. Duoduo, who had been sheltered by Dorgon for the past two years, reflexively stopped, but he was still very angry in his heart, and he did not forget what he had just seen because of Dorgon's angry rebuke.

His parents always favored the younger son, and Dord's childhood and adolescence can be said to have grown up completely in the favor of his parents. And the closeness between him and his mother is also greater than that of the two brothers.

Therefore, it is incomprehensible to Doduo about his mother's voluntary burial, and he once directed his resentment at his mother. But as he grew up, the secret of his mother's funeral began to reach his ears, and he began to be a little skeptical.

In the case of Ma Xiucai in Shenyang last year, someone took the testimony of Huang Taiji's cronies and threw them on Dolgon and the mansion where he lived, revealing how Huang Taiji united with the three major Baylors to force the concubine to be martyred, which made Duoduo a little suspicious.

However, at that time, Dorgon did not admit this, and said that someone had falsified testimony and wanted to destroy the relationship between the two white flags and the Khan, which made Dorgon slowly dispel his suspicions.

But today, Du Du, whom he knew, a member of the clan who was also persecuted by Huang Taiji, confessed to the brothers what he had seen and heard in Shenyang when the first Khan died.

Although Du Du did not directly confirm how Huang Taiji forced the concubine to commit suicide, he told some rumors in Shenyang City and the movements of various flags one by one.

Dudu was an idle clan at the time, but he was older than the Dolgon brothers, so he knew more about the martyrdom of the concubine than the Dolgon brothers.

His letter confirmed that the concubine's burial was not voluntary, but because of the coercion of the four major Baylors, and of course the letter Li Dudu pointed the finger at Huang Taiji, believing that he and the Baylors forced the concubine to commit suicide.

After reading the letter, Duoduo contacted some clues in the past, but immediately accepted Dudu's statement. The resentment of his mother's misfortune made him instantly regard Huang Taiji as the culprit, and looked at Dolgon, who could still calm down, and felt a little dissatisfied in his heart.

Dolgon didn't care what his brother was thinking, he stared at the burning of the letter before turning back and saying calmly, "Are you crazy?" Can you believe this kind of sowing discord?

Who is Dudu? He was a sinner who betrayed his family and the Jurchen clan. A person like him is a poisonous snake, every word that comes out of his mouth is the saliva of a poisonous snake, and believing his words is to be confused by a ghost.

When he was in Shenyang, he wagged his tail at the Khan all day and begged for mercy, when did he say these words to us. Now that I'm in Mingguo, I remember to tell us the truth. I think he is afraid that the world will not be chaotic, and he wants us and the Khan King to be suspicious of each other, so that we can kill each other. ”

Although what Dorgon said made a lot of sense, Dorgon still preferred to believe what Dudu said. Since Huang Taiji ascended the throne, he has changed from a treasure in the eyes of his parents to a wild child that no one cares about.

This drastic change in status made him eager to find a culprit. Previously, he thought that it was his mother's mistake, and if his mother didn't commit suicide and be buried, these minions wouldn't dare to be so powerful.

Now he believes that it is the fault of Huang Taiji, who forced his mother to commit suicide. He vaguely felt that if his mother did not die, this throne should also belong to him.

Therefore, after listening to Dolgon's words, he still said angrily: "What Du Du said is so vivid, it may not be all lies. Maybe Khan did these things, but not necessarily. ”

Dorgon's gaze was like a sharp sword staring at Dordor's eyes, staring at him and lowering his head in fear, then he said bluntly: "Do you think these are not lies, do you still want to use these things to ask others?" Even if it's true, do you think anyone would want to tell you?

Another one, even if it's true? According to what Du Du said, he forced the concubine to commit suicide at the beginning, although the mastermind was... But the other three Baylors, the young Baylors, and the ministers were all involved in this.

Are you going to fight the Khan King to the death, or are you going to fight with everyone else? Don't think that the soldiers with the white flag follow you every day, and you can command them to fight with others. Believe it or not, if you have such thoughts, the one who tied you up to see the head of the Khan King must be your Niulu. ”

Under the lesson of Dorgon's head and face, the crazy thoughts in Dordor's heart were finally buried. Dorgon, who was tired of his brother, waved him out of the room and told him not to go out for a few days.

When Dorgon walked out of the room with his head slumped, Dorgon became dazed again, and there was only one thought in his mind: he had taken the letter by mistake. He knew very well that this was a conspiracy of the Akito, but he couldn't help but face the letter in his heart.

He was able to give in to Huang Taiji because he believed or pretended to believe that his mother was martyred of her own voluntariness. Now this matter has been singled out one after another, and the black finger of the concubine who was forced to commit suicide is pointed at the Khan King.

No matter how much tacit understanding there was between him and Huang Taiji, when Houjin was full of such rumors, the relationship between the two of them was half monarch and half ally, and it could no longer be maintained.

The revenge of killing his mother can only share the sky. If Dorgon had forgotten his mother's murder, how could he make the two white flags and the others respect him again? It's like Azig, who knew about the funeral of the eldest concubine, didn't dare to come forward to protect his mother, and soon lost the support of other Jurchen relatives and two white flag soldiers. How can a master who is unwilling or afraid to protect his own mother protect his subordinates?
