April 17, on the outskirts of Beijing

The endless wilderness and woods stretch out under the clear blue sky, and the lush greenery is everywhere you look, and the scent of earth and grass exudes an indescribable poetic feeling. In the woods, in the half-man-high grass, from time to time there were groups of cheerful figures rushing by. If you look closely, there are all kinds of wild animals, yellow sheep, hares, roe deer... There are everything, and these lively figures add a sense of agility and vitality to the whole picture, making almost everyone in it feel comfortable and at the same time involuntarily sigh at the wonder of the creator.

It was originally a royal garden of the Ming Dynasty, and after the Manchu ruling group entered the Central Plains and occupied the capital, it was transformed into a hunting ground, which was specially used for those "Qing nobles" who were proud of riding and archery and were keen on hunting for entertainment in their leisure time. Since there is this good place, every year after the beginning of spring and before the beginning of winter, there is almost an endless stream of "Qing nobles" who come here to hunt, and today is no exception.

Above the wilderness, a large flock of yellow sheep suddenly rushed by in a panic, followed by the rumbling of horses' hooves. Behind the flock of yellow sheep that could not run, a large group of hunters in strong suits gave chase. After a while, a group of men and horses separated from the group, and flanked the yellow sheep from both wings. Drive the prey that has already started to run around in one place.

At this time, in the hunting procession, which had been closely following the yellow sheep, a gorgeously dressed middle-aged man stretched his bow and arrows on his horse. Aimed at the prey that had already come into range.

"Whew!" With the screech of arrows, a sturdy yellow sheep fell in response.

The young man who had succeeded in the first move was obviously not satisfied with this, and continued to chase his horse surrounded by people on the left and right, and drew his bow and arrows one after another, and in a short time seven or eight yellow sheep fell to the ground with arrows. Only then did the man lower his bow and gradually slow down his horse.

"Good!" "The Lord Regent is truly unparalleled in archery!" …… The people around cheered.

The man in the rich costume heard this burst of praise. The smug look in his eyes flashed, but his face was still unfazed, but he sighed: "There is still an arrow missing!" I haven't practiced in a long time. This king's riding and archery skills have also regressed a lot, if it were when he was outside the gate, he would not have wasted even a single arrow! ”

This middle-aged man was none other than the current Manchu regent Dolgon, and he was seen to be tall, not very stout, but extraordinarily strong. The cheekbones are high. His face was grim, his slender eyes were very similar to that of his father Nurhachi, and the beard on his lips and the short hair under his jaw and cheeks were neatly trimmed, revealing a natural and majestic state.

Although Dolgon is only thirty-five years old this year, he holds the supreme authority of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and he is also quite busy with various government affairs, so it is rare to have the opportunity to go out hunting and relax like today. After a lot of gains from the first shot, Dolgon's mood also improved.

"Keep chasing! Who shot. Whoever owns the prey, and the king has a lot of rewards! "I saw that the yellow sheep ran away some distance again. Dolgon smiled and said to Goshha beside him, and with that, he slammed the spur and rushed forward again.

Hearing the reward, the Goshkhas beside Dolgon burst into cheers, and then hurriedly patted their horses to follow.

After chasing for some distance, and when the yellow sheep were within range, Dorgon once again raised his bow and drew an arrow from the quiver beside him.

But just then, Dolgon suddenly heard a hurried sound of horses' hooves behind him, and turned his head to see that it was a Goshha who had stayed behind in the Regent's palace. As soon as he saw the arrival, Dolgon knew that something important was happening, because before he set out, he had specially explained to the people left behind in the palace, and it was rare for him to hunt, and if there was no major event, he should not come and disturb him at will.

By the time the goshha had come from the palace and galloped near, Dolgon had already reined in his mount and put away his bow and arrows.

"Master!" Goshha rolled off his horse and hit a thousand ways.

"What's wrong?" Dorgon asked quietly. Although he was disturbed by Yaxing, Dorgon was not upset by this. He naturally distinguishes between government affairs and entertainment.

"Lord Fu Lehui beside Prince Yu has returned to the capital and is waiting in the palace, saying that he has brought back the battle report in front of him, and he needs to present it to the master!" Goshha replied.

"Hahaha......" Dolgon laughed suddenly, "Fifteenth brother has done a really good job, and good news has been sent back so soon!" This time, the puppet emperor Zhu Yujian should have followed in Zhu Yousong's footsteps, right? Let's go and go back to the palace, this king can't wait to see the good news of the fifteenth brother! ”

"Huh!" The Goshkhas, who had received the order, answered in unison, and hurried towards the capital along the road they had come from.

……

Dolgon's regent palace is located in the south pool of the east wall of the imperial city, and the whole palace is dominated by dragons and gold, revealing a terrifying majesty. On the west side of the palace is the Taimiao, which is no different from the Ming Dynasty, but the objects of worship have become the ancestors of the Manchu Qing Dynasty from the emperors of the Ming Dynasty. And in the northwest corner of the palace, only one street away is the Forbidden City. As the only royal palace in the Imperial City, the location of the Regent's Palace is unique and the political significance it contains is self-evident.

With the sound of horses' hooves sounding in the street in front of the palace, a team of people and horses rushed towards the gate of the palace, it was Dolgon and his party who had returned from the hunting ground.

When Dolgon and the others came to the gate of the palace, dozens of clothed Aha who had been prepared for a long time came out together, led the war horses, took the weapons, and then followed Dolgon and the others back to the palace together.

"Where's that minion?" Dorgon was in a good mood, and when he entered the door, he smiled and asked Goshha, who had just gone to the hunting ground to report the news.

Fuller Hui is the leader of Goshha beside Duoduo, with the title of Niu Lu Zhangjing, and he is deeply respected and trusted by Duoduo. Upon hearing that Dorgon had sent this man back, Dorgon quickly realized that the outcome must be extraordinary.

"Back to the master, Lord Fu Lerhui is waiting in the Yin'an Palace!"

Dolgon nodded, and without even bothering to change his dusty coat, he walked straight to the Silver Temple, where he usually approved the recital and returned to see the courtiers.

As soon as he entered the temple gate, Dorgon saw the figure of Fullerhui, who seemed to have been waiting for a long time.

"The minion knocks to the regent!" Fullerhui hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed.

"Get up!" Dolgon laughed, "What have we achieved? So much so that the fifteenth brother was so solemn that he actually sent you, a minion, back to deliver a letter? Let's talk to this king in detail! ”

"Back to the Regent, this... This is the battle report sent back by the servants sent by Prince Yu. Fullerhui lowered his head and presented a thick battle report with both hands.

Seeing Fullerhui's reaction, Dolgon's smile froze, and he suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart, but he still suppressed the suspicion in his heart for the time being, and as a result, the battle report was opened and read.

At the moment when Dorgon received the battle report, Fullerhui felt his body tremble slightly, and then lowered his head deeply, hung his hands, and did not dare to come out, and did not dare to look at Dolgon's expression at all.

For a moment, the entire hall was silent, and Fuller Hui felt as if a big stone had been pressed on his chest, pressing himself out of breath, and beads of sweat the size of beans continued to ooze from his forehead.

"Smack!" It didn't take long for Dorgon to finally close the report.

Hearing this, Fullerhui's body trembled again, and after a long time before he heard the imaginary roar of thunder, he had the courage to raise his head and glance at Dorgon. I saw Dolgon's hands behind his back, his face pale, and his eyes looking into a corner in front of him, as if thinking about something. Seeing this, Fullerhui hurriedly lowered his head again.

"What are you worried about, you minion? The army of the southern expedition is not under your command. This king is not a madman, and he has not yet reached the point of indiscriminately killing people. Dorgon said lightly, with a hint of sarcasm in his tone, "Get down and rest!" If anything, the king will call you again. ”

"Thank you, Regent!" Relieved, Fullerhui fell to his knees and was moved to tears.

"Get out!"

After Fullerhui left, Dolgon called a Goshha beside him: "Go and inform Ning Wan and Feng Quan, let the two of them come to the palace!" When they arrived, let the two of them go directly to the Yin'an Palace! ”

"Huh!"

……

In less than an hour, Shi Ning and Feng Quan of the University of Inner Hongwen Academy rushed to the Regent's Mansion and came to the Yin'an Palace. Both men are currently members of Dolgon's think tank, and are often involved in advising Dolgon. Since Hong Chengchou returned to his hometown to guard the system due to the loss of his father this year, and Fan Wencheng stepped aside because of his unclear attitude between the imperial party and the regent party, the status of Ning and Feng has become more prominent. Although the two of them are still not as trusted as Ganglin, Qi Chongge and other Manchu scholars, because these Manchu scholars don't know much about some of Nanming's situation, Dolgon sometimes even asks Ning Wan and Feng Quan to discuss it at the first time, and then expand the scope of deliberations after understanding the general situation and having a bottom in their hearts, like this time.

After entering the main hall and seeing Dolgon, Ning Wan and Feng Quan knelt down and kowtowed, although they were often questioned by Dolgon, but the two of them still did not dare to forget the etiquette.

"Slave Ning finish me, see the regent!"

"Chen Fengquan, see the regent!"

"Get up!" Dolgon walked up to Ning Wan and Feng Quan, and handed over the battle report, "Let's take a look first!" ”

Ning Wan hurriedly took it with both hands and watched it with Feng Quan. Seeing the contents of the battle report, both of them flashed shock and puzzlement on their faces from time to time, as if with their previous experience, it was difficult to imagine such a result.

After some time, the two of them finally finished reading the battle report and handed it back to Dolgon. (To be continued.) )
