When Cao Yue returned to Beijing to enjoy heroic treatment, contacted Emperor Chongzhen's reception and gave a banquet, and was entrusted with the general army of Datong, Shengjing, which was almost a pile of rubble, once again staged a human tragedy.

It's already mid-autumn, the Mid-Autumn Festival has passed, and it's almost winter in the Northeast. As the saying goes, the house leak was rained overnight, Shengjing City was destroyed, and the mansions of the Manchu nobles were destroyed, and the Manchu nobles who originally lived in the city suddenly became homeless and had nowhere to live.

Fortunately, they originally lived in tents and grass huts, and the exquisite houses and palaces were destroyed, and they could live in tents.

The weather has been strange in recent years, and in the popular parlance of later generations, it is often extreme weather. In summer, Liaodong is very hot, but the cold snap also comes early after autumn, just when Dolgon, Duoduo, Hauge and others led the army back to Shengjing, and before the men and horses were settled, a cold snap struck, and the temperature dropped suddenly.

The weather is very hot before the cold snap hits, you can soak in the river and bathe, and after the cold snap hits, you have to wear a cotton demon coat. After the cold snap, the weather changed completely, changing the pattern of drought in the first half of the year, and it began to rain, and it was continuous rain.

Several granaries and stored forage in Shengjing were burned by Cao Yue, and Shengjing, which had a lot of grain, could hardly support the consumption of hundreds of thousands of people. Hunger and cold are the indelible memories of many Jiannu during this time, many Jiannu old, weak, sick and disabled people, fortunately escaped Cao Yue's bloodbath in Shengjing, but failed to resist this cold snap, in the simple tents, people who died of cold and hunger were carried out every day.

A huge shadow hung over the heads of all the Jiannu people.

At this time, there were many things that the main leaders of Jiannu were tired of coping. Huang Taiji died suddenly, and did not appoint an heir before his death, and after the army withdrew to Shengjing, the affairs of Jiannu were jointly presided over by Dolgon, Hauge, and Zilharang. After Huang Taiji proclaimed himself the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, the most powerful people around him were the four princes, namely Prince Dai Shan, Prince Zheng Zierharang, Prince Rui Dolgon, Prince Su Hauge, and three county kings, Yingjun Wang Azige, Yujun Wang Duoduo and Yingjun Wang Adali, these people were the most powerful people in the Manchu Qing Dynasty except Huang Taiji.

Now Prince Li Daishan is a prisoner of Cao Yue, and Haoge was restored to the title of Prince Su before Huang Taiji led the army to rescue, which means that there are now three princes and three county kings in Jiannu. The chaos in Shengjing and the Manchu Qing Dynasty needed to be cleaned up, and only the three most powerful princes were in charge of affairs, and the three county kings such as Duoduo assisted the three princes in doing things.

After returning to Shengjing, in the face of a mess, Dolgon, Zilharang and others were busy. They not only had to deal with the aftermath, hold grand good deeds for Huang Taiji, settle those remaining bannermen, control the already chaotic situation, but also guard against the Ming army's attack.

Fortunately, the Ming army did not take the opportunity to attack, and Hong Chengchou only consolidated the Songjin defense line, and there was no sign of taking the initiative to attack.

Among the princes, Dolgon was the most intelligent, Daishan and Zilharang were also good, and Hauge was the kind of person with developed limbs and a simple mind. The aftermath and the measures that need to be taken are all planned by Dorgon and Zilharan.

More than ten days have passed since the army returned to Shengjing, and although everything is still in chaos, and people die of freezing and starvation every day, the situation has slowly stabilized. As the situation gradually stabilizes, follow-up arrangements must be formulated and carried out.

Shengjing, as the capital of the Qing Dynasty, of course, had to be rebuilt, and the imperial palace had to be restored. Of course, there is a more important thing, and that is that the heir to the throne must be chosen. Dolgon and Hauge are the most popular candidates for the throne, and Dolgon is the heir to the throne once designated by Nurhachi, but in the end the throne was snatched by Huang Taiji; And Haoge is the eldest son of Huang Taiji, and he is the first-order heir to the throne.

After the situation was under control, Jiannu had a fierce debate on the choice of candidates for the throne, and even almost started a war.

As the eldest son of Huang Taiji, Haoge naturally thinks that the throne belongs to him, and the two yellow flags originally led by Huang Taiji are the main ones to establish Haoge as the emperor, and the Zhenglan Banner led by Haoge himself naturally supports him to inherit the throne. The two white flags owned by Dolgon and his half-brothers Azig and Dordo were firmly in favor of Dolgon. The two sides were sharply antagonistic and tense. The attitude of Zilharang, who is both the prince and the owner of the blue flag, has become the most crucial.

If he supports Dorgon, the throne will surely fall on Dorgon. However, Zilharan has always been cautious, and he is also resourceful, and he is older, and he can see many things clearly. He knew that if he supported Dolgon, then Dorgon's power would increase greatly, and it was certain that he would ascend to the throne, but in this case, there would be no one in the Qing Dynasty who could restrain Dolgon, and Dolgon would have the final say in all affairs.

When Dorgon is fully in control, those who were originally at odds with him, including Hauge, will be eliminated by him, and those who are considered a threat to him, like him Zilharang, will also be gradually stripped of their power, and finally end up in tragedy.

Therefore, after thinking twice, Zilharang still fell to Hauge's camp and supported Hauge as emperor.

The two factions, fighting for the throne, almost broke out into an armed conflict.

Neither Haug nor Dorgon was willing to back down, and neither could accept the outcome of the other being emperor.

This looks like an unsolvable deadlock, and the Qing Dynasty is heading for civil strife.

After consulting with Empress Zhezhe and Concubine Zhuang Bumubutai, Zilharang finally chose to choose an heir in addition to Hauge and Dolgon.

After several quarrels and private negotiations, Bumu Butai's four-year-old son, Aixin Jueluo Fulin, was favored by Zhezhe and Zilharang, and they proposed that the four-year-old Fulin inherit the throne, and that Hauge, Zilharang, Dolgon, and Duoduo, who had been promoted to Prince Yu, jointly serve as the auxiliary government.

This suggestion, which was put forward by Zhezhe and Zilharang, was eventually accepted by all sides. Both Dorgon and Haug knew that neither of them was subject to the other, and that it was almost impossible for any of them to become emperor unless they were eliminated. If it really wants to come to this point, then the Qing Dynasty is not far from destruction. The Qing Dynasty has just suffered a great injury, and if there is another internal fight, there is no need for the Ming army to take the initiative to attack, it will fall into civil strife and lead to fragmentation, and the Mongol tribes that were originally subject to the Qing Dynasty will also betray, and the Jurchens will not even have a place to live, let alone anything else.

Because of many concerns, Dolgon and Hauge finally reluctantly accepted the result of the fall of the throne and the appointment of Bumu Butai's four-year-old son Fu Lin as the emperor of the Qing Dynasty. However, despite accepting this result, Hauge and Dorgon remained deeply estranged, and when they met each other, they were like enemies.

After knowing that all parties had accepted his son as the emperor and promoted himself to the queen mother, Bumu Butai had mixed feelings.

She took out the letter written by Cao Yue to Huang Taiji again, read it carefully a few times, and then lit it on fire.

Cao Yue's prophecy became a reality, and Fulin, who was intact when the Ming army broke through Shengjing, became the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, and he became the noble empress dowager of the Qing Dynasty together with Zhezhe, and Bumu Butai did not know whether he was happy or sad.

His own son became the emperor, of course, Bumu Butai was happy and happy, but he also had deep fear. Although no one tracked down the letter she secretly hid Cao Yue left to Huang Taiji, no one even mentioned it, but this was a shadow left in her heart, especially what Cao Yue wrote in the letter, which weighed her breathlessly like a mountain.

She didn't know how Cao Yue treated Zhezhe, Hai Lanzhu, Namu Zhong and others in those two nights, but she would never forget how she was treated in those two days. Cao Yue "insulted" her, and fought on her body for two nights.

What made her ashamed was that after being snubbed by Huang Taiji, she had not been in contact with a man for a long time, and in those two nights, she reaped the greatest physical happiness as a woman, and it was very strong, and finally she couldn't help but take the initiative to do it, just hoping to have a happier feeling.

She didn't know why she was like this, she was raped by her enemy, and finally cooperated with him and took the initiative to show affection. Every time I think about it, I feel terrified. For Cao Yue, her feelings were very complicated, but she knew that Cao Yue only did it to take revenge on Huang Taiji.

But she still subconsciously hoped that Cao Yue would treat her best.

But from the letter that Cao Yue left to Huang Taiji, Bumu Butai knew that Cao Yue not only violated her, but also violated Zhezhe, Hai Lanzhu, Namu Zhong and other concubines with relatively high status, which of course made her feel angry and ashamed, and a little jealous in addition to anger and shame. She thought that Cao Yue treated her specially, and when she asked her to accompany her the next night, she was still more gentle with her, and talked to her a lot, so that she enjoyed the happiness of male and female love, and more than once, and then she was a little reluctant to let Cao Yue leave her body.

Unexpectedly, Cao Yue still used the same method on other women.

Why does it feel like this, Bumu Butai himself can't figure it out, maybe he has been snubbed by Huang Taiji for too long, Cao Yue is very heroic, and brings her the joy of being a woman, and leaves her son a sound body.

But this feeling made Bumu Butai very painful, in the face of the Qing Dynasty disaster, Huang Taiji died, and the banner people were in a miserable situation, she blamed herself and was a little difficult to extricate herself. What made her even more painful was that she found out that she might be pregnant.

Don't say that she also knows that if she is pregnant, the child in her womb cannot be Huang Taiji's, it can only be Cao Yue's.

Cao Yue is the enemy of the Qing Dynasty, and the death of himself and his sister Hai Lanzhu is also related to him. After being humiliated by him, he became pregnant, and Bumu Butai really didn't know how to deal with it. Every day she was worried and in a trance.

Cao Yue's figure also appeared in her dreams every day, but this figure didn't make her feel any good feelings, but it was like a nightmare, and she couldn't breathe under the heavy pressure. She was eager to find someone to talk to and ask for an idea.

But there is no way to say it, no one can say it.

And Cao Yue, the initiator of these things, was in a mess and mess in Jiannu for the aftermath and for the throne, but he lived a very leisurely life in Beijing!
