Huang Taiji wanted to stand up, he used all his strength, trembling and just half of the standing, who would have thought that he would "plop" and fall to the ground with a heavy thud-

Concubine Zhuang Butai was serving ginseng tea to Huang Taiji, and suddenly saw the emperor fall to the ground, and the tea bowl in his hand also fell with a "bang", and his mouth shouted anxiously: "Your Majesty!" Your Majesty! ”

The eunuchs and maids outside the palace hurriedly ran in, and Concubine Zhuang also ran to Huang Taiji, only to see his mouth and eyes crooked, and his mouth kept popping out.

There is a way to become a doctor after a long illness, and Burbutai also knows that the emperor has fallen hard, and now he shows that this is evidence of a stroke.

Concubine Zhuang did not dare to slack off, and immediately commanded the eunuchs to help the emperor to the bedroom behind the palace. After the eunuchs put the emperor on the dragon bed, Concubine Zhuang only left two cronies and palace maids to serve aside, and the rest were all sent out.

After chattering for a long time, Concubine Zhuang couldn't care so much, so she still called the imperial doctor to see the emperor. After the imperial doctor prescribed the medicine, he was taken to the side hall by the guards to wait.

Even though the situation was critical, Concubine Zhuang did not mess up. She did this, so that if the emperor's condition changed, the imperial doctor could prescribe medicine at any time; Second, it also prevents the news from leaking, and now the eunuchs, guards and palace maids in the palace are all cronies, so the news will not be leaked......

When he was in a daze, Huang Taiji had hallucinations in his mind, maybe it was a dream.

He dreamed that he offered the jade seal he had obtained from Mongolia in front of the spirit of his father Nuer Hachi, and then burned incense and prayed, and just when he bowed his head and closed his eyes, a figure suddenly burst out of thin air and quickly snatched the jade seal in front of Nuer Hachi's spirit!

Huang Taiji's eyes widened in surprise, and when he saw that the person was Dorgon, his heart became even more anxious. While chasing, he shouted loudly: "Dolgon! What are you doing?! Return the jade seal! ”

But Dolgon proudly replied to him, "This is mine!" As he spoke, Dorgon ran away with the jade seal in his arms!

Huang Taiji hurried to chase after him, but Dolgon was young and faster than him. He was panting and his heart was pounding. The distance between the two is getting farther and farther apart. In a hurry, Huang Taiji let out a loud shout: "You rebellious rebel thief! Return the jade seal! ”

However, this shout woke him up - all the hallucinations before him disappeared, and only his heart was still beating violently, and he was very uncomfortable with panic and weakness.

Huang Taiji reluctantly settled down, wanting to call someone to serve, but when he turned his head, he felt that there was a figure faintly outside the bed curtain. Huang Taiji called in a low voice: "Who is outside the tent?" ”

But the man sitting outside the tent was distracted, and he did not know what he was thinking, and did not notice the movement in the tent. was taken aback by Huang Taiji's call. The person outside the tent was of course Concubine Zhuang Butai, and in just a moment, she had a happy look on her face, and asked with concern: "Your Majesty, it's a concubine, Burbutai." Your Majesty, are you awake? ”

As soon as Huang Taiji heard the voice, he knew that it was Burbutai, so he made a soft "um" and made a gesture to get up. Concubine Zhuang immediately stepped forward to help him sit up. Lean against the head of the bed.

Huang Taiji's voice was a little weak, and he said slowly: "What's going on outside?" Do they know I'm sick again? ”

Concubine Zhuang knew the meaning of Huang Taiji's words. Immediately responded: "Your Majesty, the concubines have tightly sealed the news, and even the imperial doctors who came to treat them are detained in the side hall and are closely guarded by the inner guards!" No one outside knew about the emperor's condition. ”

Huang Taiji let out a long breath, and his nervous expression suddenly eased. It's just that his face is a little red now, and he feels tightness in his chest and shortness of breath. It took a long time for me to regain my breath.

Huang Taiji glanced at Burbutai and said in a low voice: "I am getting sick more and more frequently, I am afraid that what you said before must be done." ”

There was a burst of ecstasy in Burbutai's heart, because Huang Taiji meant this. I agreed to her proposal.

Deal with Dorgon - that's it!

Previously, Dolgon had lost his troops in the Battle of Guangluyuan and had not been punished. It's not that Huang Taiji doesn't want to punish Dorgon, it's that he has concerns.

Huang Taiji himself is seriously ill, and this is not the best time to deal with Dorgon. Obviously, dogs will jump over the wall when they are in a hurry, and rabbits will bite people when they are in a hurry. Huang Taiji is very clear.

As the king of a country, he is originally the king of the world and is in the highest position, and it is obvious that it is a good thing to be decisive in killing, and it must not be indecisive - but this does not apply to the Jurchen Eight Banners.

Historically, in the early and middle Chongzhen periods, that is, at this point in time, Huang Taiji's "centralization" of the Jurchen tribe was not completed.

To put it bluntly, he is more like a tribal leader than an emperor in the traditional sense of the Central Plains.

According to the original history, Huang Taiji entered the customs and plundered the Ming Dynasty five times and gained great prestige. At the same time, the conquest of Korea and the pacification of the Mongol tribes also made his prestige skyrocket.

In the last years of Chongzhen, as the Manchu Qing Dynasty won the Battle of Songshan, which determined the national fortunes of the Ming and Qing dynasties, Huang Taiji could be said to have completely controlled "my Qing Dynasty" at that time, and no Jurchen prince dared to have different intentions.

However, this is not the case at all!

In the fifth year of Chongzhen, when the Houjin State entered the customs for the second time, it was beaten by the Tuanshan Army of tension, and even the three guards of Haizhou, Fuzhou, Gaizhou in Liaozhong and Jinzhou Wei in southern Liaoning were all lost.

This is undoubtedly a huge blow to Huang Taiji's prestige.

And the Mongols who saw the wind and steered the rudder also began to be restless, and what Huang Taiji said was not easy to use -- for example, in this expedition to Korea, the Mongolian uncle said that the Korean people were poor and not as rich as the Ming Dynasty, and they were afraid that they would not be able to grab anything. If you can't grab something, the Mongolian masters naturally don't have half an interest in "following" me Daqing.

Fortunately, the Han Eight Banners were loyal, and Hong Chengchou, Kong Youde and others deserved to be "first-class good ministers", they had the slightest complaint, and followed the female Allah to North Korea, willing to be cannon fodder - but unfortunately they ran into the Tuanshan Army in Gwangluwon, and Dolgon was defeated and suffered heavy losses, and the Korean war situation was so deadlocked......

It can be said that everything is unfavorable for "my Qing Dynasty", and Huang Taiji's prestige as the emperor does not rise but falls, how dare he deal with it carelessly?

In line with the idea that more things in the illness are better than less, when Concubine Zhuang persuaded Huang Taiji to deal with Dorgon, he refused.

If you want to move Dorgon, you can do it before you get sick and you can do it after you recover, but there is a bit of danger in the serious illness.

But now, Huang Taiji has changed his mind - because he has no choice but to find that he is afraid that he is about to go underground to see his father, the wild boar Pinuer Hachi...... (To be continued.) )
