For the Jurchens, the autumn of the seventh year of Chongzhen was a season of calm. After the Battle of the Daling River, the Ming army in western Liaoning had given up its attempt to advance northward, and at the end of the western Liaoning corridor, there were only a few fortresses left such as Ningyuan, Songshan, and Xingshan. And after Huang Taiji went west last year, took all the Mongolian left-wing troops under his command and became the Bogda Chechen Khan, the Jurchens felt safe for the first time. People went back to their farms, either to do it themselves, or to urge the Aha (serfs) to harvest the grain and prepare for the winter.

"It's boring!" Abatai snorted, flipped through the books on the bookcase, and the dense numbers on it seemed to have hands and feet, climbing up and down, so that the seventh son of Nurhachi only felt a faint pain in his forehead. Finally, he impatiently threw the account book to the side, and shouted to the Ministry of Industry Qixinlang (translator, auxiliary official) standing aside: "Forget it, you can read it to me, don't be too cumbersome!" ā€

"Yes, Baylor!" Qi Xinlang owed his body, picked up the account book and told it, the more Abatai listened, the more sleepy he became, and in the end he simply snored, and Qi Xinlang didn't dare to pause when he saw it, so he had to continue reading, and the sound of reciting the account book and the snoring were mixed together, and it spread far away. It turned out that since Huang Taiji ascended to the pole, in order to concentrate power from the hands of the other three major Beylers, he began to imitate the Ming Dynasty from the fifth year of Tiancong (1631) to establish six departments, although Abatai is also the son of Nurhachi, older than Huang Taiji, but his mother Ilgen Jue Luo is just Nurhachi's seventh wife, low status, and not favored by Nurhachi, and even the time of birth and death is not recorded in the history books. Therefore, although Abatai is brave and good at fighting and has made many military exploits, his status among Nurha's nephews is quite low, not to mention that he is not as good as Daishan, Mang Gurtai, and Huang Taiji, and even Shulhaqi's two sons Amin and Zilharang are inferior. Therefore, Huang Taiji was relieved to hand over one of the six ministries to him in order to weaken the power of the other big Baylors, but what Huang Taiji didn't expect was that although Abatai was an excellent general, he really had no talent in the ledger and documents, and he rarely went to the Ministry of Works on weekdays, and most of the time he was napping.

After a while, the Qixinlang had finished reading the account book, and saw that Abatai was sleeping more and more soundly. He thought about it, put the book back on the bookcase, and crept out to close the door for Abatai to sleep soundly. At this time, there was a rush of footsteps outside, and a Goshha rushed up to the hall, flicked his sleeves at Abatai, who was lying on the chair, and said loudly: "Belle, the Great Khan has summoned all the Belles and said that there is something important to discuss!" ā€

Abbatei, who was awakened from his sleep, stretched his waist, twisted his neck twice, and said lazily: "Don't go, the Great Khan wants to discuss matters, let him discuss with Daishan, Azig, and Dolgon!" I'm not a Petham Baylor, if there is something they have agreed on, I will just do it! ā€

Nagoshha couldn't help but be surprised when he saw Abatai's temper, at that time, the laws of Houjin were extremely strict, and even dignitaries like Daishan and Dolgon had to be punished for breaking the law. If Abatai had done so, the Emperor Taiji would most likely have severely punished him for contempt for the Great Khan and his relatives, ranging from deprivation of fines of silver and horses to titles, to imprisonment or even death. A cronie like him will also suffer from the fish in the pond. He hurriedly took a few steps forward and whispered into Abatai's ear: "Belle, resist the orders of the Great Khan, have you forgotten the fate of Amin and Mang Gultai?" Even if you don't care about your own safety, don't you even care about Fujin and a few Gege? ā€

Hearing the words of his cronies, Abatai's face changed slightly, it turned out that although this person was brave and good at fighting on the battlefield, he was a loving father and a virtuous man at home, and he was very fond of his wife and daughters, and later suffered a lot for this. He thought for a moment, stood up and said, "Okay, let's go!" Abatai picked up the belt and tied it, and said to the Qixinlang: "I heard what you just said, so do it!" ā€

That Qi Xinlang was stunned when he heard this, he just read the account book of the cost of building the southern wall of Shengjing, and he was not asking for instructions, but seeing Baylor like this, he still didn't want to talk too much, thinking of this, he hurriedly shook his sleeves, knelt down and responded: "Tsk! ā€

When Abatai arrived at Yongfu Palace, it was already midday, and he saw that the dozens of horse-tethered stakes at the gate of the palace were already full of horses, and it was obvious that the other relatives and nobles had basically arrived. Abatai's heart couldn't help but be a little flustered, lest he be the last to arrive and be reprimanded by Huang Taiji. He threw the reins to his own Goshha and shouted: "Quickly tie up your horse!" He walked towards the palace gate at the fastest pace.

When Abatai arrived at the main hall, the two compartments were already full, and he saw Huang Taiji sitting in the middle, scanning around with his piercing eyes. Abatai hurriedly lowered his head, ran to the ranks on the left, and stood in the last seat, he breathed a sigh of relief, and asked in a low voice to Babutai on the side: "Lao Jiu, the Great Khan didn't say anything before I came, right?" ā€

Babutai was the ninth son of Nurhachi, and like Abatai, his mother Gyalmuhu Jueluo was only a concubine, and his military achievements were not as prominent as Abatai, and he was not even mixed with Baylor. However, he has a kind personality and is the same age as Abatai, and the relationship between the two is good on weekdays. He replied with a grin, "It's okay, the Great Khan hasn't said anything yet." Brother Seven, why did you go, you came so late? ā€

"Humph! Lao Tzu has an errand, so many account books and documents of the Ministry of Industry have to be reviewed and disposed of, and the two hands that are busy are swollen, how can you be as idle as you Lao Jiu! ā€

"Huh!" Babutai smiled: "Brother Seven, you just can't lie, you don't look in the mirror, your eyes are full of eye droppings, you obviously just woke up." You say, are you sleeping lazily in the yamen of the Ministry of Industry again? ā€

"Ahh Abatai hurriedly wiped it with his sleeve, and said while wiping it: "Thanks to Lao Jiu, your eyes are sharp, otherwise it would be another crime of dereliction to let those rabbit cubs of Dolgon see it, and even this Baylor will be gone!" ā€

"Hehe, Brother Seven, you think too much again!" Babutai smiled: "If you go, you will go anyway, and the next time you go out to make some military achievements, won't you be sealed back?" Anyway, the two of us can't be Heshuo Belle, and the Great Khan wants us to contain Dolgon and Dai Shan, and a Belle will always give it to us. (To be continued.) )
