Zhu Youzhen was satisfied with the results of the second interrogation, because Zhang Fangyan successfully dug up the root cause of the burning of Yongping City with cow eggs, that is, Liu Bajin's highly decomposed body. Zhang Fangyan sent a special person to Yongping overnight to dig out the body buried on the spot, and after the arrow was dug out after it was broken in the corpse, it was confirmed that it was indeed owned by Gao Pingren, the general of Yongping, and the inscription on the top of the arrow shaft was still faintly visible.

Gao Pingren turned out to be the first to kill, so it can be explained that Niu Dan set fire to vent his anger when he was excited, but even so, his crime is still unforgivable. However, at least Zhu Youzhen's heart that had been clenched relaxed a little, as if this confirmed that Li Xin's hasty withdrawal had nothing to do with this matter, then there was only one remaining question, what was the purpose of Niu Dan's coming to Beijing, since he was Li Xin's personal army officer, he must have come in person, and he must have a heavy responsibility.

Just when everyone thought that the situation was clear, Fu Yongchun, the left capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, brought it up, and there were new witnesses. Zhang Fangyan ordered the witness to be summoned to the court, and after the witness stepped into the lobby of the Criminal Department, everyone was stunned.

It turned out to be Zu Yi, who was in the limelight in Beijing a few days ago. What evidence can Zu Yi have to point directly at the cow egg?

"The last general Zuyi, there is vital evidence, present it to the elder of the pavilion!" I saw Zu Yi respectfully, holding a letter sealed with oilskin paper in both hands. Soap Li took the letter and forwarded it to Zhang Fangyan, and after Zhang Fangyan unfolded it, his face couldn't help but change drastically! Lost his voice asked:

"Where did this faith come from?"

Zu Yi replied word by word: "I just arrived in Beijing today, and it was found by a captured Tartar scout half a month ago, and it was only because the road was cut off that our army scouts returned to Shanhaiguan the day before yesterday, but unfortunately it was half a month late!" ”

"Elder Sun Ge has already submitted a document to the cabinet, and this secret letter is attached as evidence!"

Zhang Fangyan was stunned for a long time, and suddenly slapped the shocked wood, "Suspend the interrogation, the old man wants to enter the palace immediately!" ”

The huge jury was "accompanied" by Sooli and returned to its temporary residence, and the prisoner Niu Dan was re-imprisoned, and the officials who were watching were stunned one by one. Zhang Fangyan couldn't care about anything else at the moment, and almost trotted out of the lobby of the Criminal Department, crossed Chang'an Avenue and ran towards Donghua Gate with the support of Soap Li.

Zhu Youzhen's chest rose and fell violently, and his right hand, which was tightly clutching the letterhead, seemed to be trembling faintly because of too much force. Even if Zhang Fangyan didn't dare to look up at the emperor directly, he could feel the anger in his heart.

"Li Xin is negative, Li Xin is negative......"

Suddenly, Zhu Youzhen lost his temper and shouted twice, but the voice stopped abruptly, followed by the eunuch's panicked shout.

"Hooray, hooray! Come on, pass on the imperial doctor's ......"

Zhang Fangyan only felt that something was wrong, and when he looked up, he found that the emperor had fainted due to excessive excitement. He didn't care about any courtesy of the monarch and ministers at the moment, and even crawled to the emperor's side, and he was in the middle of the trumpet and pinched, and it took a long time to see Zhu Youzhen wake up slowly, and then he breathed a sigh of relief. People know some medical skills and first aid methods when they are older, Zhang Fangyan is afraid that when the imperial doctor comes late, there will be an accident in the middle, and the consequences will be unimaginable, so he will deal with it without authorization.

After Zhu Youzhen woke up, he struggled to get up, "Proposed purpose, proposed purpose...... "He said two proposed purposes in a row, and paused for a long time but didn't know how to draft a purpose,......

In Shengjing City, the return of Dai Shan has made the already tense situation in the city more complicated. But his return also eased the almost imminent form, but new troubles followed. The two yellow flags and the two white flags blamed each other and provoked each other in the unclear battle outside Jinzhou......

"Master, it's not good, outside the city, there's a fight outside the city!"

Goshha rushed into the council hall with a roar of disregard for the rules, and the hall was full of clan dignitaries, and everyone was stunned by this sudden change. Dai Shan was calm, and without raising his eyelids, he asked, "What's the alarm?" ”

"Master, go and take a look, two yellow flags and two white flags are fighting!"

"What?" Without waiting for Dai Shan to speak, Dolgon got up angrily, "Brother Dai Shan, you sit in peace, Dolgon will go and catch those rabbit cubs back, and slaughter them one by one, see if they still make trouble!" ”

Naturally, this is the two white flags that recorded the sorrow of the two yellow flags that they would not be able to save themselves when they saw death, and Dolgon, out of consideration for the overall situation, certainly could not lead his own bannermen to carry out the so-called "revenge", and this kind of nonsense behavior wisdom made the situation more and more complicated, and the more unfavorable it was to himself. Besides, above the battle array, the enemy's situation is unknown, and whether these things are true or not is still in the two.

Dolgon obviously underestimated the scale of the trouble, and roared out of Shengjing City only to find out that where the conflict was outside the city, it had been merged with real swords and guns. In desperation, Dolgon's cavalry with his white flag was fired, trying to disperse the two entangled.

Before that, there were indeed many conflicts between the two sides, but this is the first time that they have been on such a scale today. Thanks to Dolgon's timely arrival and proper handling, it did not cause a catastrophe. This large-scale conflict undoubtedly sounded the alarm for the upper echelons of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and the contradiction between the two yellow flags and the two white flags must not be ignored, and must be squarely faced, taken seriously, and resolved as a foolproof measure.

In desperation, Dai Shan convened the clans to discuss sending the main forces of the Eight Banners to the Ming and Qing borders, one could monitor the movements of the Ming Dynasty nearby, and the other could prevent them from gathering together and making trouble all day long.

The two palaces and Dolgon actually had a headache for the instability brought by the army, especially Dolgon, seeing that this generation of good people had returned to Shengjing, and it was no longer possible to bypass him to compete for the throne, and the main forces of each banner returned one by one, and his advantage was no longer there, so he also agreed with this expedient measure on the outside and the inside.

As a result, most of the two yellow flags were scattered in the area from Sancha River to Haizhou, while the two white flags were scattered in Gaizhou and other places, and so on, and so on, and they were stationed next to each other. After the implementation of this policy, the inside and outside of Shengjing really stopped, and there were no more endless conflicts and accusations, and the nobles of the clan sat down to study the ownership of the throne while taking a breath.

The potential powder keg was sent out, and Daizen was free to concentrate on selecting the heir to the throne. The current disagreement between the two houses and Dorgon lies in the discrepancy in their proposed successors.

The candidate proposed by the two palaces is naturally the blessing of the concubine Zhuang of the Yongfu Palace, while the candidate proposed by Dolgon is the fifth son Shuosai from the lowly side concubine. Dai Shan clearly realized that the contradictions between the two were almost irreconcilable, and the root of it was not the question of the successor, but the essence of the distribution of power.

Dai Shan's response is very simple, and it is also a very tempting solution.

"Regent of the Four Kings?"

Dolgon's new plan for Daizen was very bright, and he had a faint sense of disappointment after months of confrontation. Neither of him nor the two houses has enough strength to destroy the other, but if one side compromises, it is equivalent to giving up his own life, and the powerful person will not let go of the former opponent.

This is also one of the reasons why the two sides have been deadlocked among their subordinates, because only by holding the supreme power can they keep the current situation, and it is possible to expand the territory and achieve immortal hegemony.

"Please also elaborate on Prince Li!"

It was the queen who spoke, and Concubine Zhuang also echoed from the side, "Yes, how are these four kings regent, how are they regents, and which are the four kings of the four kings?" ”

Dai Shan had been prepared for a long time, he knew that as long as he proposed it, someone would inevitably get to the bottom of it, of course, this kind of way of making each step is better than not giving in to each other and going down hard.

"The four kings govern together, the military is important, and the four kings are all frustrated in the clan!"

Dolgon gasped, Dai Shan really dared to think that this would not be the emperor, in other words, as long as the governance of the four kings is implemented, then whoever will be the emperor will be the same. Moreover, he also noticed the implicit meaning of Dai Shan's words, the so-called size of the clan is appropriate, and whether this includes the abolition of the emperor is quite intriguing.

"What a regent of the Four Kings! Duoduo sounds good, Brother Fourteen, what do you think? "Dordor was quick-tempered, and he saw the advantages of the four kings' regents, and fearing that Dorgon would refuse, he was impatient to express his support first.

Dai Shan looked at the monkey anxious Duoduo and sneered in his heart, the reason why you kid is in a hurry to express his position is nothing more than to worry about whether there is a place for you among the four kings of the four kings of the four kings regent. It's a pity that you won't have a chance unless Dorgon gives up his place. There was a hint of sympathy in Daizen's gaze, and it was clear that Dolgon would not give up.

Soon, the method of the regency of the four kings won the approval of the vast majority of the clans, after all, in this way, people who originally got nothing could also get a piece of the pie, so why not do it? Dai Shan's Jian Yì was even more stunned, Prince Zheng Zilharang, who had already lost power and was imprisoned by the two palaces and Dolgon, was re-released, and he was also a popular candidate for one of the Four Kings.

However, the only condition for the compromise between the two houses is to let Fu Lin succeed to the throne. With the Four Kings as a system to retain power in his hands, and possibly even further, Dorgon compromised and instead supported Shuose's accession to the throne and agreed to Fulin's succession.

Dai Shan made a bold move, and the matter was solved one by one, and the situation in Shengjing suddenly became clear, and the clouds that were dense over the city gradually dissipated. Immediately afterwards, he ordered again to arrest and screen all Han merchants in Shengjing City. The guilty will be beheaded immediately, all their property will be confiscated, and the innocent will be placed under residential surveillance, and they will not be allowed to leave Shengjing at will. Although this measure was opposed by the leaders of Zilharang and Dolgon, it was still carried out, and for a time the Han trading companies in the city jumped up.

Soon, however, something bigger caught the attention of the powerful members of the clan.

"Master, it's not a good thing! Clashes broke out outside the city again, and even artillery was put out! ”

Goshha roared again and burst into the council room, and Daishan Huoran got up......
