Chapter Eighty-Six: A Double-Edged Sword
Although he was disdainful of what Leng Seng Ji said in his tone, after all, Haoge had been rolling in the court for many years, and he had instinctively sniffed out the slightest smell of something wrong in today's situation, and said these words in his mouth, but he quietly gestured to his henchman Yang Shan and others.
Yang Shan and the others understood, and immediately a personal guard Goshha quietly retreated, and wanted to avoid the sight of Leng Seng Ji and others, and immediately returned to the camp to send a letter to the rescuers.
But as soon as Nagoshha's horse's hooves were raised, and before he could gallop his horse, a bowstring suddenly sounded in the crowd behind Leng Monk's fuselage, and then Nagoshha fell off his horse in response, and a crossbow arrow was already inserted in his vest.
"Huo Wu!" Hauge's eyes were almost bursting with flames, and he saw at a glance the one-armed gray-clothed man behind Leng Monk's fuselage, holding a delicate crossbow in his right hand. "You dog minion, you dare to kill the king!"
Huo Wu put away the crossbow machine and bowed his head to Haoge, "Lord Wang, more things are better than less things, this is at the foot of Shengjing, does the prince want to mobilize soldiers and horses here and start a rebellion of swords and soldiers?" ”
"Bastard thing! Dog minion! Hauge cursed.
Sony watched from the sidelines, feeling more and more that today's things were not good. Although Hauge had fought to the death with Concubine Zhuang and Dolgon back then, to this point, as long as Hauge is not a fool, he knows very well that he will never covet the position of the emperor again. Fulin is the Eight Banners Communist, the master of pushing, if Hao Ge dares to defy the world's disapproval at this time and plot against the usurpation, he will openly sing against the Eight Banners, and he will not see this clearly.
In front of him, it is clear that Dorgon has begun to eliminate dissidents, as the biggest opponent at the beginning, and Hauge, who is fighting with him endlessly, of course, the first target is the first target.
By this time. As Concubine Zhuang and Fu Lin's most powerful confidant in the court, Sony had to stand up and say something.
"Lord Leng Seng Ji, according to what you said, it is indeed the first important case after my new monarch succeeds to the throne." Sonny took a few steps forward, came directly to the horse of the cold monk machine, raised his head and said calmly: "But." When it comes to rebellion, you must always be cautious, and you will be convicted of Prince Su with just a few words of yours, and there will be some taste of wanting to add to the crime. In this way, today His Majesty and the Queen Mother are waiting in the palace for King Su to see him, why don't we go to the palace together and discuss everything well, so as to block the mouth of the world! ”
Suke Saha and the others also echoed one after another, but Leng Seng Ji was unmoved. glanced at everyone coldly. "Ladies and gentlemen, I really can't figure it out, Haoge's rebellion is already an ironclad case, why do you want to protect it. As I said, the evidence is conclusive, do I dare to talk nonsense about this kind of case at present? ”
Leng Seng Ji showed an unfathomable expression, "Not to mention the physical evidence." Relying on the human certificate alone, I believe that even when it comes to the imperial front. The Queen Mother and the Emperor will definitely not be lenient with Haoge! ”
Leng Seng Ji glanced deeply behind Hauge, and then stopped talking.
Behind Hauge, a figure suddenly rode forward, stood between Leng Seng Ji and Sony, turned over and dismounted, "The lower official wants to report the impeachment of Prince Su Hauge." Ill-intentioned and rebellious! ”
Everyone was taken aback, and Hauge never imagined that the person who stood up to report to Leng Seng Ji and Sonny in person would be him.
"Ho Lo will! What are you crazy about! Yang Shan on the side roared angrily.
He Luohui didn't pay attention to his question at all, and didn't even dare to look at Hauge and the others again, but just took out a stack of papers from his arms. Put your hands on the hands of the cold monk. "This is a record of the private conversation between Haoge and Yang Shan and others recorded by the lower officials, as well as a copy of the private transfer of some of his cronies into Beijing!"
Hauge's face instantly lost its blood, and his teeth almost burst his lips. Behind him, Omoktu and Yi Chengge shouted angrily, pulled out their blades and slapped their horses, and rushed towards He Luohui. But he didn't take a few steps, but he was surrounded by the subordinates of the cold monk, and the spear with a barb hooked the armor on their bodies, dragged them off their horses, and then tied them up in a strong knot.
Leng Seng Ji suddenly laughed strangely, "What is this going to do?" Kill people? ”
Leng Seng looked at Sony proudly, "Now someone wants to report King Su, Lord Sony, is this person's confession weighty enough?" ”
Sonny and Sukh Saha and others were shocked, everyone knew what kind of character He Luo would be by Hauge's side, and now even he stood up to impeach Hauge, God knows how much evidence he had about Hauge's "bad words and deeds", such a person could publicly stand up and correct Hauge, it would be too much trouble.
"Prince Su, do you have anything else to say?" Sonny and the others were silent, and Leng Seng looked at Hauge.
Haoge's pale face was full of anger and unwillingness, but the current situation was helpless, he stared at He Luohui's back and shook his head slowly. "My Haoge's loyalty to the Qing Dynasty and the emperor can be seen from heaven and earth, how can I blind the saint when I do a clown who jumps off the beam and slanders me? This is Shengjing, not Dolgon's two white flags, can the emperor and the queen mother still make me unjustly hateful? ”
As he spoke, Hauge unsheathed his sword and threw it on the ground, "Let's go, tell me where you're going, and lead the way!" ”
Sonny hurriedly said: "The prince doesn't have to worry, since someone has a high incidence of rebellion, this case will be tried by our newly established criminal department together with the Zongren Mansion and the Eight Banners, so that the sinners will not slip through the net, let alone let the innocent people suffer unjustly!" The lower officials will present the Empress Dowager and the emperor, please make an order in the palace and instruct the Yamen to interrogate! “
Leng Seng Ji smiled: "Don't worry, Lord Sony, we don't want to deliberately frame Prince Su, naturally we are following the laws of the imperial court and the clan rules of my Eight Banners, Prince Su is going to be detained in the Zongren Mansion for trial first, and we will not mess up the rules of Manchuria!" ”
Leng Seng Ji escorted Haoge and the others to the Zongren Mansion, but Sonny and the others did not dare to slack off, and rushed back to the palace as if they were flying, and told Concubine Zhuang that they should pass by.
Although the warm pavilion was as warm as spring, Concubine Zhuang seemed to have fallen into an ice cellar in an instant. Dolgon's actions were not mentioned to her at all. teamed up to take Huang Taiji, until Fulin successfully ascended the throne, and the relationship between the two slowly became delicate.
Concubine Zhuang knows very well that in an environment surrounded by imperial power, there is no trace of children's affection and even a little bit of kinship. Fulin ascended the throne at a young age, and the government was temporarily controlled by the three auxiliary princes of Dolgon, Zilharang, and Hauge, which was also a move to avoid one of the three being dominant and dominating the court, but at present, Dolgon was obviously not satisfied with the position of an auxiliary prince. In other words, even if he is willing to be a prince of peace, I am afraid that his two brothers and his wolf-like subordinates will not give up.
Today's arrest of Hauge is a clear sign that Dorgon is beginning to purge dissidents. Suddenly, Concubine Zhuang also understood why Zilharang was paralyzed on half of his body, but he still had to support his sick body to go out of Beijing to command the army, where he was unwilling to clash with Dolgon, but ironclad that he had been persuaded by Dolgon, or simply sided with Dolgon's side.
The situation is becoming more and more sinister, and Concubine Zhuang's biggest shortcoming now is that she has no military power in her hands. As the commander of the expedition to the south, Dolgon has no constraints from Huang Taiji, and has begun to unscrupulously install descendants in the court and the army, and over time, his power will become greater and greater, so that he will gradually get rid of himself and the Son of Heaven's control over him. Also, from the beginning, Concubine Zhuang was not able to control this dragon among people.
At present, Hauge is already unable to protect himself, and there is no problem in leaving his life. After all, he is still the eldest son of Huang Taiji. But the power in his hands will disappear with this catastrophe. In other words, Hauge turned the Manchu court, which had withdrawn from the dispute, into a non-threatening pawn that could only be manipulated by others.
Because of Holo's sudden defection, there is no doubt that Dolgon will win a big victory in this game.
Concubine Zhuang's vision is not confined to the gains and losses of a city and a place in front of her. She and Dolgon have known each other since childhood, it can be said that her understanding of Dolgon is extremely thorough and comprehensive, Dolgon's eloquence is roughly true, but there is an extremely fatal flaw in his character, which is easy to be emotional, especially Concubine Zhuang has unparalleled confidence in Dolgon's infatuation with her. The battle in front of him was launched by Dorgon in order to seize the right to speak in the court, but if he was allowed to kill the king and usurp the government, I am afraid that with his character, he would never be able to do such a thing now.
So, Concubine Zhuang was not only angry, but also a little lucky. For the time being, Dolgon will not be able to do anything about his mother and son, which leaves time and opportunities for Concubine Zhuang to operate.
Concubine Zhuang sat on the fire kang, the agarwood Buddha beads in her hand kept rolling between her fingers, and her white forehead wrinkled a few wrinkles that were not obvious because of excessive thinking.
"Where is Zhang Cunren, the banner of the Han Army, now working?" Concubine Zhuang suddenly asked.
Sony was stunned for a moment, and immediately replied: "During the Chongde period, Zhang Cunren was appointed as the governor of the Imperial Court, and after the new emperor ascended the throne, he was appointed to participate in politics on the right. ”
Concubine Zhuang was surprised, "If the palace remembers well, this Zhang Cunren is a capable minister who is often praised in the mouth of the first emperor, and he used to be the teacher of His Majesty, teaching His Majesty to learn Chinese, and His Majesty has special respect for him, but why does he still stay in the Imperial Court and cannot be reused?" ”
Sonny smiled bitterly, "Doesn't the Queen Mother still know the temper of that adult?" has an upright temperament, and he can't rub a grain of sand in his eyes, so he offended King Ying and King Yu, so he has stayed in the Metropolitan Procuratorate to take office! ”
Concubine Zhuang bowed slightly, "That's it!" Zhang Cunren has made great contributions to my Qing Dynasty, when he formed the Han Army Banner and persuaded Zu Dashou, Wu Sangui and other Han army generals to surrender, he made great contributions, such a person deserves to be reused! ”
Everyone didn't understand what Concubine Zhuang meant by mentioning Zhang Cunren for a while, and couldn't help but look at each other.
Sonny thought about it in his heart, and vaguely guessed Concubine Zhuang's intentions, and his face couldn't help but change color a little.
"Queen Mother, the Han Army Banner is a double-edged sword, as a last resort, don't take risks!" Sonny said in a trembling voice. (To be continued......) R1292
