Chapter 20 A glimmer of life
Concubine Zhuang refers to the two people who are full of one Han and one Han, and the Manchu people refer to the prince of Heshuoli, who is now old and respected, and is idle at home, and today he has to enter the palace to invite him to see under the unanimous recommendation of the nobles. Han refers to Fan Wencheng, who is currently a scholar of the Secretarial Academy and a prominent figure among the Han officials of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.
Needless to say, Dai Shan is now the most valuable person in the Manchurian Eight Banners, and there is no one. The second son of the Qing Taizu Nurhachi, he was in charge of the two flags of Zhenghong and Red. In the second year of Chongde, because he was reprimanded by Huang Taiji for acting recklessly and contemptuizing the law, he gradually faded out of the center. But now that the storm is coming, the Manchu nobles can only recommend this old prince to preside over the overall situation. What's more, this expedition, Dai Shan's eldest son Yue Tuo died of illness in the army, and the seventh brother Abatai died in the battle of Julu, and when the news came, Dai Shan was grief-stricken. Even Huang Taiji personally visited the house, it seems that Dai Shan's vein is going to be used again recently, at this moment, it is reasonable not to bring him to see how to make sense.
Fan Wencheng, who is in his forties, is quite young and capable due to proper maintenance. Although his face was worried, he always followed behind the nobles and did not express his opinions lightly.
One is the eldest brother who supported Huang Taiji's accession to the throne, and the other is his particularly trusted Han minister, and Concubine Zhuang refers to these two are both ministers who are currently trusted by Huang Taiji.
After a little thought, Dolgon understood Concubine Zhuang's intentions, and immediately walked quickly in front of Dai Shan. "Second brother, in this situation, you can't do it if you don't say a word. Concubine Chen was seriously ill, and she shouldn't have disturbed the emperor at this time, but this Hong Chengchou had already left the Daming Jingshi. Seeing that this army is about to reach the front line of Jinzhou, let's not discuss a way to deal with it, this ......! ”
After speaking, without waiting for Dai Shan to speak, he couldn't help but pull Fan Wencheng over, "And Lord Fan, looking at the Chinese martial arts of this dynasty, now there are only two of you who can speak in front of the emperor, and you two lead the big guy to fold." The emperor may be able to take a closer look! ”
Fan Wencheng was taken aback. Waved his hands together, "Fourteenth Master, you think too highly of the minions!" ”
Concubine Zhuang on the side quietly stabbed Queen Zhezhe in the back, and Zhezhe came to his senses. Hurriedly stood up. Walked up to the trio. Give a deep salute to Dai Shan. "Second brother, Master Fan, the fourteenth brother is right. Looking at the current situation, apart from the two of you, can the emperor still listen to what others say? I beg the two of them to persuade the emperor for the sake of the Qing Dynasty. The two of you can rest assured, this palace is the master of the harem, so naturally you want to meet the emperor with the two of you! ”
As soon as Queen Zhezhe said this, Dai Shan and Fan Wencheng had no way to retreat, so they had to bow down and agree.
Dolgon was grateful to see Concubine Zhuang, who was slightly rounded after giving birth, and then followed behind Zhezhe, Dai Shan, and Fan Wencheng to Concubine Chen's Guan Ju Palace. The nobles could only wait for news in the Qianyuan Palace.
Concubine Zhuang also went out quietly in this chaos. As soon as he left the main hall, a confidant female official hurriedly greeted him.
"How's my sister going?" Concubine Zhuang asked quietly.
"I coughed up a mouthful of blood again this morning, the emperor stayed awake last night and has been waiting by his side!"
The female officer thought for a while, "However, last night the Guan Ju Palace was full of people, and the eldest brother Haoge was called into the palace late last night, and he stayed for an hour before coming out, and then the two flags of Zhenghuang and Huanghuang were transferred!" But the scale is not large, and it did not alarm the other flags! ”
Concubine Zhuang's eyes suddenly flashed with a look of jealousy, it seems that it is not wrong to encourage Dorgon and others to break into the palace today. Huang Taiji can be said to have worked hard for Concubine Chen's mother and son, and with his love for his mother and son, the son of Concubine Chen will be the prince of the Qing Dynasty in the future. But people are not as good as heaven, and no one thought that this concubine's child would be so blessed that he would die early in the morning. also made Huang Taiji's wishful thinking come to naught.
Although Concubine Hai Lanzhu is Concubine Zhuang's sister, how can there be family affection in the harem. Since the birth of Concubine Zhuang's youngest son Fu Linfu, Guan Ju Palace has targeted everything, and even the eunuchs and female officials under Hai Lanzhu want to take this opportunity to suppress the queen and Yongfu Palace. Queen Zhezhe has no heirs, so she can only swallow her anger, but Concubine Zhuang is a concubine who has a prince, once Guan Ju Palace targets her children, then she can't sit still.
Concubine Zhuang has been in the palace for a long time, and with her means and intelligence, she has already enveloped the queen, and has spread her eyes and ears in the palace, not to mention that there is a powerful foreign aid of Dolgon outside the palace. Although Dolgon's army defeated the giant deer, but fortunately, Huang Taiji did not dare to weaken the strength of the Dolgon brothers too much, and now the Ming court army is about to gather outside the pass, which gives Dolgon a chance to rise again.
Dolgon is very affectionate, as long as he has the power in his hands, the concubine Zhuang can be safe in the palace. At this point, Da Yuer has a clear understanding and understanding of herself, a childhood sweetheart.
Hearing the female official's report, Concubine Zhuang is currently most worried about Huang Taiji's countermeasures. This group of Manchu and Han officials, including the empress, still don't know much about Huang Taiji. This person was a British lord of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and he was definitely no less than his father Nurhachi. If you want to say that he has a deep love for Concubine Hai Lanzhu, but if it is said that he disregards the country's plans for the sake of a woman, then Concubine Zhuang will not believe it no matter what.
I'm afraid, he already has a countermeasure in his heart now, just like the female official said just now, Hauge entered the palace late at night last night, which fully illustrates this point. Concubine Zhuang felt that the upcoming battle would be a fateful battle between the Ming Dynasty and the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and Huang Taiji seemed to want to drive the expedition in person and draw a strong stroke for his own conquest history.
But this is absolutely impossible, once Huang Taiji personally wins this battle, then his power and influence will reach the point where no one can surpass it, and next, he will try his best to weaken the power of the major banner masters. Because since Huang Taiji ascended the throne, he has been trying his best to realize the idea of bringing the military and financial power into the hands of the emperor alone, and the existing policies of the so-called "Eight Beyler Public Promotion" and "Eight Banners Discussion of Politics" are unacceptable to him.
If he is allowed to achieve this, there is no doubt that Concubine Zhuang's son Fu Lin will no longer covet the dragon chair of the supreme ruler of the Manchu Qing Dynasty in this life. Because, because of Dorgon. Huang Taiji has always had a jealousy and suspicion of Concubine Zhuang. Even the most unfavored big brother Haoge now, I am afraid that his status in Huang Taiji's mind is higher than that of Fulin.
Therefore, she wanted to instigate Dolgon and others to break into the palace to see the driver, just to disrupt the deployment of Huang Taiji. In this battle, no matter what, Dorgon will become the main general. Only in this way can Concubine Zhuang and her son have a glimmer of life.
Dai Shan and others accompanied Queen Zhezhe straight to Guanju Palace. Outside the gate of the palace, there were already eunuchs coming to stop them, and the leaders were Yuan Zhong, the henchman of Huang Taiji's side, and the chief eunuch of Guan Ju Palace.
Yuan Zhong slammed his head on the ground, but his body blocked the palace gate tightly.
"Get out of the way!" Zhezhe was visibly angry.
Yuan Zhong and the others did not stop kowtowing. "The Queen forgives her sins. The emperor's master once had an order, but without permission, no one was allowed to set foot in the Guanju Palace! A slave has ten lives, and he doesn't dare to disobey his master's will! ”
Dai Shan and Fan Wencheng suddenly hesitated. Dolgon, however, leaned into Zhezhe's ear and whispered, "Fourth sister-in-law." The country is the world. This is a state affair, so don't hesitate! ”
A "fourth sister-in-law" made Zhezhe come over in a trance for a moment. She bit her lip lightly, and immediately made up her mind, kicked Yuan Zhong away, and strode towards the palace gate.
Yuan Zhongqiang endured the pain, and followed behind him with a group of eunuchs and palace maids, constantly begging, but Zhezhe was unheard.
However, a figure flashed out of the main hall, standing upright on the steps like this, and shouted coldly: "Presumptuous! ”
The figures of Zhezhe and the others froze slightly, and they hurriedly bowed to the ground, "Your Majesty!" ”
"I said that no one is allowed to set foot in the Guanju Palace without my permission, have your ears been eaten by dogs?" Huang Taiji's face was thin, but his spirit was full, and he shouted loudly, which immediately made everyone in the garden tremble.
"Your Majesty!" Zhezhe didn't speak, but tears flowed down first, "The emperor hasn't dealt with political affairs for a whole month, and now the government affairs are piled up, and all important military and political affairs have to wait for the emperor to come to adjudicate, and the concubines also know that the emperor is worried about Concubine Chen's illness, but ......!" ”
Dai Shan and Fan Wencheng had no choice but to bite the bullet and say at this time: "The ministers respectfully invite the emperor to listen to the court!" ”
After Zhezhe finished saluting, he stood up straight, walked slowly to the steps, looked up at Huang Taiji, and said in a low voice: "The emperor has been reluctant to walk out of the Guanju Palace for dozens of days. The concubine had nothing to say. The Horqin Ministry came to discuss the conquest of Mobei Mongolia, but the emperor was gone, and the concubines had nothing to say. The prince was blessed for a hundred days, but the emperor refused to do it, and the concubines had nothing to say. But now, it is a matter of the ancestors, and the concubines have to say! ”
Looking at the face of his wife, Huang Taiji was stunned for a while. Huang Taiji has nothing to say about the virtue of this Yuan wife, and Huang Taiji has nothing to say about a series of events in her mouth, these dozens of days of hard work, for Concubine Chen, he has indeed delayed a lot of national events, and the fault lies in himself, in the face of Zhezhe's questioning, Huang Taiji was speechless.
"More than 100,000 Ming troops are about to gather outside the Guan", Zhezhe continued, "The emperor is still ignoring business in the deep palace, and the nobles of all banners are panicking, waiting for the emperor to come up with an idea, whether it is war or peace, the emperor needs to make a decision!" ”
Huang Taiji slowly walked down the steps and grabbed Zhezhe's hands, "Zhezhe, why do you have to be like this. I am not a dumb king, and I know the priorities of this matter. Concubine Chen is still sick, although I have no mental politics, but you ask Yuan Zhong, this is a big and small matter, how many chapters have been backlogged in the Qianyuan Palace, I am clear! ”
"Your Majesty!" Hearing Huang Taiji say this, Zhezhe was suddenly surprised and delighted.
"Then the emperor ...... the Ming court's army to suppress the realm?" Dai Shan and Fan Wencheng asked tremblingly.
Huang Taiji sneered, "The Ming Court is worried about internal and external troubles, even if 100,000 troops gather outside the pass, it is just a lingering breath, what is there to fear!" I have already made up my mind, since that Hong Chengchou came to Liaodong in person in the name of the superintendent, then I will personally meet him for a while! ”
"I have already ordered the yellow and yellow flags to be ready to go out at any time. The other flags suffered a lot of losses in the previous battle of Zhengming, and this time they will no longer mobilize the whole flag, so they will be recruited by the banner owner and transferred to the unified command of the army, with the big brother Haoge as the vanguard, and will go out with me in the near future! ”
"Ahh Daishan and Dorgon were taken aback. (To be continued......)
