On the sixth day of April in the first year of Yixing, the Manchu army was divided into two routes, one was led by Prince Azig of England, and broke into Yan'an Mansion from the first line of Yongning Prefecture, this road was the North Route Army, with the elite of the Eight Banners as the main force, with a total strength of more than 80,000 people; The other road was led by Duoduo, the prince of Yu, with the Han army as the main force and a total of 70,000 troops, and stormed Tongguan along the line of Shaanxi. The regent Dolgon sat in Gyeonggi to guard against possible attacks from Shandong and Henan.

After Hauge was imprisoned, one of his henchmen was also arrested and thrown into prison, and He Luohui, under the instruction of Dolgon, became the head of all the soldiers and horses outside the Guan, and was responsible for the use of troops outside the Guanzhou Four Guards. It can be said that the fall of Hauge also contributed to Dolgon's dominance within the Manchu Dynasty. Under his pressure, the Manchu imperial family finally agreed to move the capital to Beijing.

After a period of recuperation, the Dashun army of Shaanxi, Gansu and Huguang also recovered a certain amount of vitality. Li Zicheng transferred the troops of He Jin, who had conquered Gansu and Ningxia, back to Shaanxi to garrison, and after receiving the news that the Qing army was advancing westward, the army of Huguang Baiwang also began to move closer to the front line of Henan and Shaanxi.

At this time, although the Qing army was in an offensive momentum, it was at a disadvantage in terms of troops. The garrison of the Dashun Army in Shaanxi alone reached 300,000 people, and with the reinforcements of He Jin and Bai Wang, the total strength soared to 500,000. After a period of recuperation, Li Zicheng also regained his original confidence, even if the Qing army did not advance westward at this time, he planned to raise a large army to the east to recover the lost territory of Hebei and Gyeonggi.

All of a sudden, Liu Zongmin, Yuan Zongdi, Hao Shaoqi and other main forces of the Shun army attacked the border of Shanxi one after another, intending to give the Qing army a head-on attack.

Concubine Zhuang, who had to move the capital to Beijing, is also the current Queen Mother, and the Shunzhi Emperor Fulin is worried about the current situation. The strength of hundreds of thousands of people in the Shun army made it difficult for the Queen Mother to sit still. There is also Zhu Ping'an of Shandong, the new emperor Longwu of the Southern Ming Dynasty ascended the throne, and the Ming Dynasty, which owns half of the country, also staggered to gain a foothold, in comparison, the Manchu Qing Dynasty at this time is a little weak. Dolgon's strategy of wielding his sword and aiming at the world feels a little unrealistic.

Therefore, two days after arriving in Beijing, Concubine Zhuang couldn't wait to summon Dolgon again.

In April, when everything recovered, the Imperial City of Beijing, which had experienced the pain of war, could no longer find any traces of war. The palace has been completely painted, and the eunuchs and palace people of all sizes have changed into brand-new Manchurian costumes, and you can see red and bright tops and graceful flags everywhere.

Emperor Shunzhi is only seven years old this year and has not yet married, so there are only a few concubines left behind by Huang Taiji in the harem, so it seems very lonely. The Queen Mother Zhuang specially issued an edict and ordered the prince, princess, county lord Gege and other female dependents to enter the palace from time to time, which finally added a bit of lively atmosphere to the huge imperial city.

The flowers and plants replanted in the imperial garden are fragrant, which makes the people in the Manchu harem who came from afar dazzle. Suddenly came to this bustling city of Beijing, from the emperor to the harem concubines, they all had a feeling of brightness, and then they were deeply intoxicated and couldn't extricate themselves. In contrast, the previous years in Shengjing were as if they had passed in vain, and I didn't know that there was such a magnificent place in the world.

Today, it was Prince Xiang Bo Guoer who entered the palace to say hello, and Concubine Zhuang Da Yuer, who was playing in the Imperial Garden, and Namu Zhong, who had been promoted to the Imperial Concubine, left him for lunch in the Xiaochun Pavilion in the Imperial Garden. The position of the prince after the death of Huang Taiji was a competition between Fulin and Bo Guoer. Because of Bo Guoer's mother, Namu Zhong, the Manchu courtiers finally supported Fulin to inherit the throne. Fulin and Bo Guoer are still young, naturally do not understand the grievances and interests, but there is no mustard between the two brothers, Fulin is an unusual favor to this young brother, as soon as he ascended the throne, he was named Prince Xiang, this time into the Beijing Division, is to bring him over, and in the Beijing Division to build the prince's mansion for it, very trusted.

Tofei Namu Zhong is only 35 years old this year, only three years older than Da Yu'er, from the Mongolian steppe to Shengjing, and then from Shengjing to Beijing. Her husband has also changed from Lin Dan Khan to Huang Taiji, as the queen mother who once dominated the grassland, Namu Zhong naturally has an extremely good understanding of the open and secret battles in the palace. After Bo Guoer lost the opportunity to inherit the throne, Namu Zhong still maintained his deference and respect for Da Yu'er as always, and won his trust.

After lunch, after giving a rich reward, Da Yu'er and Namu Zhong had tea together in the pavilion by the lake. Although it was only a few days after entering Beijing, the tea ceremony of the Han people made the Manchu royal family rush to it. Now it is different from the past, the precious tea of the Central Plains, which used to be exchanged for a great price, has now become a must-have in the palace and can be enjoyed everywhere and at any time.

While the two were laughing and talking, Yuan Zhong hurriedly came to report that Dolgon, the Prince Regent Rui, who had trained soldiers and horses in Tongzhou, had returned to Beijing and handed over an excerpt to ask for a meeting.

When Namu Zhong heard this, he hurriedly stood up and retired with a smile, and Da Yu'er did not keep it, and ordered Yuan Zhong to bring some tribute tea and send it back to the palace.

In less than a cup of tea, Dorgon hurriedly felt the Imperial Garden, still wearing a military uniform, and his face was covered with dust.

Su Mo'er had already brought clean water, and Da Yu'er also removed the wrench and other things on her hand, and personally wiped the dust off Dolgon's face, just like a wife waiting for her husband's return, and a smile gradually appeared on Dolgon's tired face.

When the armor was removed, Dolgon looked around, and the leader of the guards next to him, Qi Musai, bowed and saluted, and retreated with a group of guards scattered on the guard. Da Yu'er nodded quietly, and Su Mo'er saluted the two of them, and then followed Qi Musai and exited the pavilion.

In a few moments, the entire Imperial Garden became empty.

"What about the emperor?" Dolgon sat down next to Da Yu'er and opened the teacup, but the temperature of the tea was just hot, not as hot as expected.

"I knew you were coming back today, so I had already ordered someone to prepare refreshments and meals!" Da Yu'er poured tea for Dolgon with her slender hands, and said lightly: "At this hour, the emperor is still studying with the masters, and he won't be back until dinnertime." ”

A smile tugged at the corners of Dolgon's mouth.

"You rushed back in such a hurry, isn't there something wrong with the war ahead?" Da Yu'er asked.

Dolgon put the teacup on the table and waved his hand, "What can happen, Li Zicheng is already at the end of the crossbow, there are hundreds of thousands of troops, but a herd of cattle and sheep, it is only a matter of time before Shaanxi and Gansu are pacified!" ”

"What about Shandong, Henan, and Nanjing? Nothing unusual? Da Yu'er was surprised. The Qing army entered Shaanxi in a big way, it is said that this is the emptiest moment in Hebei and Zhili, and the Ming royal family has been shouting about the Northern Expedition to regain lost territory, such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, will they sit idly by?

Dolgon suddenly laughed, "How many times have I told you that I will arrange the major affairs of the military state, and you and the emperor will sit in the capital safely." Outside the Guan, he has both civil and military skills, I don't know how many times stronger than Haoge, the soldiers and horses of Mongolia and Ningguta have gathered in Shengjing, and the recovery of Jinzhou Siwei is just around the corner, although it is not possible to quell the rebellion of the Li Dynasty in Korea in one fell swoop, but it is more than enough to guard Liaodong. ”

"There is one more thing I want to tell you before, the Yixing Emperor of the former Ming Dynasty has been killed, and Zhu Ping'an has helped his own father, Zhu Yujian, the king of Tang, ascend to the throne ......!"

"Ahh Da Yu'er exclaimed, and her jade hand covered her mouth.

Dolgon laughed, took advantage of the situation, and took Da Yu'er in his arms. "Look at you, what a thing! It is true that Zhu Yujian ascended the throne and became the emperor, but now he is incompatible with his son. Because of the matter of discussing the establishment of the prince, the father and son were-for-tat, but Zheng Zhilong took advantage of this opportunity to take away the actual control of the government. Zhu Yujian was also whimsical, and when he was in a dilemma, he announced to the world, saying that the country had not been unified now, and he was ashamed of his ancestors and ancestors, so the matter of establishing a prince was suspended. just named Zhu Ping'an as the king of Rui, the governor of Jiangbei soldiers and horses. However, he named his youngest son Zhu Linyuan as the king of Qin and stayed by his side to participate in the government. ”

The big jade in her arms blinked, but her expression was much more relaxed, and she stroked her chest, "The southerners are good at internal strife, and it is indeed unchanged through the ages!" ”

Dolgon laughed, but a big hand had already reached through the gap in the big jade flag, and the palm of his hand grabbed a lump of plumpness, and gently kneaded it.

After a while, the eyes of Da Yu'er in her arms gradually blurred.

At this time, three small heads poked out of the palace wall of the Imperial Garden, looked around, and jumped in silently, under the cover of flowers and trees, the three figures crept in the direction of Xiaochun Pavilion.

"Master, let's go back quickly! If we are met by the Queen Mother, we will definitely be punished heavily! Yue Le, who was much stronger, said worriedly.

The thin Shunzhi Emperor Fu Lin didn't care about patting the blue and green stained on his body, although his voice was childish, but it was irresistible. "Don't talk nonsense, I have already promised Bo Guoer to give him the crossbow machine specially made by the former Ming Military Department that came from the attack, how can I break my word and gain weight. Today, Master Zhang is ill, and he finally found a good opportunity to get out, how can he miss it? ”

The little eunuch next to him hurriedly picked up the conversation, "Long live what the master said is right, but such a thing, how can the master be in danger." The slave hid the crossbow machine in Xiaochun Pavilion, and when he saw that the concubine had returned to the palace, he expected that the queen mother had already taken a nap at this time, and he would let the slave take out the crossbow machine later. ”

Fu Lin smiled with satisfaction, "It's still you, a slave, who will come to work, in a few days, when I see Yuan Zhong, he will reward you as a steward eunuch!" ”

"Long live the reward!" He was overjoyed.

Walking all the way along the path in the trees, but they didn't see a palace person and guards, which also made the three of them happy, and when they arrived at the lake on the west side of the pavilion, the three of them gently pushed aside the grass and looked towards the Xiaochun Pavilion on the other side of the lake, but they were startled by the scene in front of them.

On the gazebo, two figures overlapped together, leaning on the pillar of the pavilion, a strong figure was tightly pressed against the pillar of the flag, constantly stirring, the graceful figure of the flag was prostrate on the pillar, although the voice was deliberately suppressed, but the bone-eroding trills were clearly transmitted to the ears of the three people.

"One south and one north, two wise kings, this, this is not the will of heaven, I want you two to compete for the ...... of the world!"

"Humph! The heroes of the world are in my eyes, but they are just a group of local chickens and dogs, and only that Zhu Ping'an can be worthy of my eyes! You're right, in the future, I think I'll have a fight with him! ”

Dolgon's gasp was louder, "But now, I'm going to conquer you first!" ”

The three people in the grass were stunned, Yue Le and Duo Xi woke up from the shock, and quietly turned their bodies in unison, not daring to look at each other again, looking at each other for a moment, only to find that each other's faces were extremely pale. R1152
