Chapter 257: Brother
"Back to the words of the imperial father regent, Zhu Yujian first showed his face in Changsha, and then disappeared, and no one saw him again." University scholar Ganglin shook his head, his face full of helplessness.
If there is a possibility of substitution, Ganglin is absolutely unwilling to report the bad news to Dolgon on his own, but he is one of the best confidants under Dolgon, and he has the duty to hide from it.
"Don't faint again." Ganglin prayed secretly in his heart.
Dolgon's health has been bad for the past two years, the last time he heard that the Battle of Nanjing was defeated, he had a slight stroke, but fortunately survived in the end, but recently caught up with the annoyance of the emperor's wedding, he became more and more anxious and irritable, if he heard this bad news and was angry, wouldn't the sky fall (Aixin Jueluo family has a gene for cerebral hemorrhage, interested book friends can check it).
Emperor Shunzhi's wedding, Dolgon's henchmen have a strong sense of crisis, according to the convention, even if the little emperor is an adult after the wedding, it won't take long to be pro-government, according to the meaning of Ganglin and others, Dolgon should be stuck and not allowed Shunzhi to marry a wife, but unfortunately, Dolgon, who has been flying and domineering, has recently changed his temperament, not only agreed to Shunzhi's wedding, but also picked a daughter-in-law for him, and finally completed the gift, only to send it into the cave room with his own hands, and the little emperor between a good touching scene of father and son's filial piety.
But Ganglin is sure that Shunzhi must hate Dolgon to the bones, and he doesn't talk about his previous grievances and grievances, but only rushes to Dolgon who claims to be Shunzhi's Laozi, which is enough for him to hide in the bed and scold for a month. (Dolgon was originally the regent of the emperor's uncle, but later found it unpleasant, so he simply changed his name to the regent of the emperor's father, and if anyone did not call him by this awkward title, he was immediately removed from his post and investigated.) )
Fortunately, Dolgon did not get angry when he heard that Emperor Longwu had disappeared, and it seemed that he had been mentally prepared.
"There's no need to check again, the Han people have a good saying, since the fish is unhooked, they can't be caught again." Dorgon leaned back at the head of the bed and sighed, "Alas! This king painstakingly arranged for many days to make the southerners civil strife, I thought that I could take this opportunity to reverse the situation, but I didn't expect to be left behind by Wang Kefan The biggest benefit is really unfair! ”
Ganglin secretly breathed a sigh of relief and persuaded: "The imperial father regent doesn't have to sigh, I heard that Sun Kewang is transferring troops and preparing to attack Huguang, and Wang Kefan is also increasing troops to Huguang. ”
"Yes, there must be an injury when two tigers fight, but unfortunately, only one tiger can be injured, and when he recovers from his injury, we still have to face two tigers after all, the west thief and the south thief fight this battle, we can only take a breath and can't change the overall situation." Dorgon shook his head ruefully. If Emperor Longwu fled to Guangdong and completely broke with Wang Kefan, that would be the most ideal result, and now that he fell into the hands of the Chu army, Wang Kefan's strength would be further expanded, even if he was temporarily defeated by the Western Army, he would soon recover his vitality, and he would still be the number one enemy of life and death in the Qing court.
"Ganglin, do you all think that this king should not allow the emperor to marry?" Dorgon asked suddenly.
"Hmm...... This was originally the grace of the imperial father regent, but some people outside thought that the wind direction had changed, and it was inevitable that they were about to move. "Ganglin has been involved in confidential matters many times, and he has a deep trust in Dorgon, so he doesn't have so many scruples about speaking in front of him.
"The emperor's wedding, it's normal for people to give Sonny the good news, don't pay attention to them." Dolgon smiled disdainfully, and said: "Sony, this minion still knows how to measure, so let's send someone to Zhaoling to have a look, don't let him be harmed by the people below, and let this minion go back to Beijing in two months." ”
"What is the meaning of the royal father's regent's move?" Ganglin is inexplicable, the Sony of the two yellow flags is a sworn friend of the Huang Taiji and Shunzhi factions, and the Dorgon faction is a sworn enemy, it is already merciful enough to let him guard the tomb in Zhaoling, why do you want to call him back to Beijing?
Dolgon was silent for a moment, and said lightly: "The situation is compelling, and this king is also forced to do so. Ganglin, in the current situation, the thing you are thinking about is no longer possible. ”
Gang Lin's body shook violently, and he paused for a moment before asking, "Why did the imperial father regent say this?" ”
"I just said that." Dolgon was a little impatient, and closed his eyes to recuperate, Ganglin was a good and loyal minion, but unfortunately he was not smart enough, and it was too difficult to talk to him.
The Qing army has lost too many battles in the past two years, and more than half of the elite soldiers trained before entering the customs have been lost, and the younger generation has not grown up, so that the population of the Manchurians has not increased but decreased, and now it is not easy to make up 50,000 Ding Zhuang, and Dolgon's prestige has also been seriously damaged.
In addition, in these battles with the Chu army, the biggest loss is the two white flags loyal to Dolgon, followed by the two blue flags of the center, since Zilharang and below, the middle and high-level of the two blue flags and the two white flags have changed a few times, and the strength is not as good as before, but the two yellow flags that have been suppressed, have saved most of their strength by mistake.
This casual move may play an unexpected role in the future.
The reason why he agreed to Shunzhi's big marriage was also due to his lack of strength and forced to give in, Dolgon can still control the situation now, and agree to Shunzhi to marry his wife by retreating, and there will be room for maneuver in the future, anyway, Shunzhi is still young and fledgling, so he can't pose a threat to him for the time being.
Two years earlier, Dolgon still had the idea of becoming emperor himself, but now he has broken this thought, he is only thirty-nine years old this year, but his body is as weak as eighty years old, two blood vessels burst in his head during the last stroke, and then he is bedridden for a long time, even if he stands for a little longer, he will be dizzy and shaky.
"When this king was young, he followed the old Khan to fight, climbed the ice and snow, and was seriously injured several times, this body was injured and his vitality was injured, I am afraid that it will not be better in the future, I am now a very human minister, I don't want to go further, I just want to pass on this inheritance from my hands, and I can calmly go to see the old Khan in the future." Dolgon drank a few sips of **, his face looked better, but his eyes no longer had the momentum of the year, Dorgon's death was like breaking one of his arms, and the other arm Azig was also becoming more and more centrifuged, a person can't stand up and has no two arms, no matter how big the ambition will be gone, so Dolgon has the intention of retreating bravely, and began to think about what happened after him, but over the years step by step to the present, it has long been difficult to ride a tiger, not to say that you can retreat.
Hearing what he said, Ganglin was struck by lightning, and he was on the spot, unable to make a sound for a long time.
Although Dolgon has long shown signs of compromise, but it is the first time to say it so thoroughly, Ganglin, as Dolgon's sworn friend, has been rushing to the front in the past few years, and there are too many people who have offended, not only the noble ministers of the two yellow flags hate him to the bone, but also Shunzhi and the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang have also hung up the number, Dolgon suddenly said that he wants to shake off the pick, this is simply a pit!
Otherwise, go to Azig?
Since Dolgon was seriously ill, Azig had the idea of replacing him, so he would fall out with Dolgon.
Wait, it seems that something is wrong, the royal father regent has no head and no tail, why are you saying these things to me?
Just like falling into extreme shock and extreme sadness, it took a long time for Gang Lin Leng to relieve his breath, and when he raised his head again, he was already in tears: "The imperial father regent is in the prime of Spring and Autumn, why did he say such ominous words?" As long as you take care of a few days, you will definitely be able to ride a horse and drive a hard bow, and you will still be the first warrior of Manchuria. ”
"I know, you're a faithful person, but it's a pity that others don't think so." Dolgon said with a smile: "Some people don't even understand the principle of 'brothers working together to break gold', and can't wait to be the regent of this imperial father, I read it for the sake of my compatriots, and repeatedly tolerated him, but those who tend to be inflammatory, but those who tend to be inflammatory, think that the opportunity has come, and fan the flames behind the back of Prince Ying (Azig), lest the world will not be chaotic, and if these people are not eliminated, sooner or later it will be the scourge of my Qing Dynasty!" ”
One of the important reasons for Dolgon's compromise with Shunzhi was that in order to free up his hands to purge the interior, the first thing he had to deal with was Azig, who already posed a substantial threat to him.
As a generation of heroes, even if Dolgon is lying on the hospital bed, he will not really give up the power in his hands, agreeing to the Shunzhi wedding, and repeatedly making concessions to the two yellow flags is just a political measure of last resort, and Azig wants to replace him, which is the most intolerable traitor......
In the spring of the seventh year of Shunzhi, news suddenly came out in the city of Beijing that the regent of the imperial father, Dorgon, had a stroke again, was unconscious, and had been in a coma for a day and a night.
Prince Azig was hunting in Beiyuan at this time, and after receiving an urgent report, he immediately sent three hundred elite cavalry warriors back to Beijing, and then was killed by Dolgon, who suddenly appeared, and Dolgon immediately ordered to take the Azig lock back to Beijing, and his home was imprisoned, and the university scholar Ganglin and others stood up to expose Azig's many misdeeds, and a month later, Azig was finally released, but the prince of the British prince was removed and imprisoned in the palace.
Dolgon's sudden purge of Azig was so ruthless that the court was stunned.
Because of Shunzhi's wedding, many of the Eight Banners of the Two Yellow Banners were excited, but at this moment they were shocked by Dolgon's thunderous methods, and they realized that even if Dolgon was seriously ill, he was still the regent of his iron-fisted imperial father, so he had to put away his chaotic thoughts and obediently came to the palace to obey orders. <
