Chapter Eighty-Five: The Mind Is Changeable

In front of the Shengjing Chongzheng Palace, the saber guards wearing bright yellow horse coats are like statues standing in the wind and snow, although the snow is not big, but after a moment of effort, the guards have also become snowmen, and only the white breath that constantly exhales proves their existence.

The cold wind swirled through the arches of the temple, and the hanging bronze wind chimes made a light sound, but they were instantly annihilated by the sound of the wind. The entire Chongzheng Hall was surrounded by an indescribable silence.

In the warm pavilion, the Shunzhi Emperor Fulin, who had just ascended the throne for only two years, was lying on the desk of the fire kang copying the calligraphy, and Concubine Zhuang Da Yuer was just wearing a brown robe with golden flowers, holding a delicate and small copper stove in both hands, and accompanied her son with a loving face.

Next to him, Yuan Zhong stood with his head down, unable to see what expression was on his face. At the door of the Warm Pavilion, it was Sony, Suppilon, Sukh Saha and other confidant ministers.

Fine beads of sweat were already pouring from the tip of Sonny's nose, and his legs were a little numb from kneeling for a long time, but Sukh Saha behind him inadvertently touched his calf again.

Sonny had no choice but to speak again: "Queen Mother, this is the third chapter of the regent, please move your majesty and the queen mother to the entrance to the capital!" ”

Concubine Zhuang didn't say anything, and let the warm pavilion fall into an unbearable silence again, for a while, until Fulin finished painting the calligraphy red, Concubine Zhuang nodded approvingly, and then turned to look at Sony and the others.

"Get up and speak! ”

Sonny and the others let out a sigh of relief, and Shane, who was busy, stood up.

"The regent Rui Wang made an immortal contribution to the Qing Dynasty, which is a grand event that the Eight Banners have never had. But my Manchurian capital, Shengjing, was also a matter decided by Emperor Taizu. Now the situation in the customs has changed suddenly, and Li Zicheng and the remnants of the former Ming Dynasty are still separating one side. Compared with the Central Plains, the population of our Manchurians is far less than that of the Central Plains, and this time we were able to enter the customs and conquer Beijing in one fell swoop. In fact, it is the soldiers Yongming, and it is the blessing of the ancestors and ancestors. I'm afraid that if something happens in the future, my Eight Banners will still have to retreat outside the customs, so that now the hurried entry into the customs will not become a ......! ”

Sonny and the others nodded again and again, in the eyes of the Eight Banners nobles. The Central Plains is vast, and the people are 100 times larger than the Eight Banners of Manchuria. If it weren't for Li Zicheng and Daming's fight to the death, the Manchu Qing Dynasty might not have been able to enter the customs so lightly. Now it seems that the Eight Banners are indeed invincible, but compared with the Han people, they are still outnumbered, and I am afraid that although this Beijing master is good, he may not be able to sit stable for a long time!

There is another layer of meaning. Concubine Zhuang didn't say it explicitly, but Sonny and the others knew it. Dolgon has made this immortal feat, and now there is no one in the court to control it, and the situation of high merit has begun to appear. The young lord is in the dynasty, and there can be the full support of the Eight Banners in Shengjing, if it is in Beijing, then when the time comes, it will be the holy decree of the Shunzhi Emperor. Whether Dorgon's words worked, I don't know.

"Is Prince Zheng still recuperating at home?" Concubine Zhuang asked nonchalantly.

Prince Zheng Zilharang was one of the three major auxiliary princes. Ordered to guard the outside of the pass, he is currently the only character who has the strength to compete with Dolgon. However, after the fall of the Jinzhou Four Guards, half of Zilharang's body was paralyzed, and he stayed in Shengjing to recuperate because of Ordai's temporary military power.

Not long ago, Hauge led the army back to aid Guanwai. Finally, the Qing army firmly held the fortress of Lianshanguan, and Li Dingguo temporarily stopped fighting and no longer waved his troops and horses north.

Hearing Concubine Zhuang ask about Zilharang, the muscles on Sonny's face couldn't help twitching, "Return to the Queen Mother." Prince Zheng had already left Shengjing and returned to Lianshan Pass to garrison. ”

Concubine Zhuang was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously bit her lip, but she was strong in self-control and did not have a seizure.

These days, the news of Dolgon's request to move the capital to Beijing is spreading in Shengjing and the Eight Banners, but the nobles are not as much as Concubine Zhuang and others think, and they have been nesting in the bitter cold land outside the customs for generations, who does not want to go to the Huahua world in the Central Plains to be pampered and spend time and wine. Therefore, the nobles of the Eight Banners raised their hands and feet in agreement with Dolgon's request to move the capital, and many people couldn't wait to hand in the echoing note.

But at this time, Zilharang left Shengjing despite his illness, but his purpose was to make people suspicious. This also sends a signal that Zilharan is not willing to play against Dorgon in this matter, and no one knows what he thinks in his heart, but at least in this matter, he will definitely not object.

"Where's Prince Su?" Concubine Zhuang can only pin her hopes on Haoge for the time being. Although he fought to the death with Hao before, but now, although he once made it clear that he wanted Dolgon to be the emperor who was not the emperor. But once she tasted the supreme taste of imperial power, Concubine Zhuang was unwilling to let herself and her son be puppets in the hands of Dolgon anymore. Therefore, at present, the only way to drag Dolgon back is to use Hauge's influence in the Eight Banners.

"King Su's army is gathered in the area of Dongchangbao to contain Li Dingguo's headquarters from the west, the battle situation has stabilized, and I think I will arrive in Shengjing in the next few days!"

Concubine Zhuang finally breathed a sigh of relief. With Hauge here, Dolgon will not cover the sky with one hand, even if he can't resist the pressure to enter the customs, there is finally a force above the court to balance Dolgon.

Hearing that Haoge was coming to Shengjing, Emperor Shunzhi Fulin was smiling, and couldn't help but applaud and laugh: "It's really good that the eldest brother is coming to Shengjing!" Eniang, when the eldest brother comes, let him accompany me to hunt outside the city, okay? ”

Although he and Haoge once fought for life and death, Huang Taiji died indirectly at his own hands inexplicably, and Haoge hated himself deeply because of this. But Hauge and Fulin are very similar to each other, and the relationship between the brothers is very close, so Fulin is very dependent on this big brother.

"In a few days, I want my eldest brother to accompany me, and I will go to Beijing City with Eniang to see the prosperous world of the Central Plains!" Shunji continued.

But this sentence made Concubine Zhuang's face change greatly, "Which one sued the emperor that we want to enter the customs?" ”

Fu Lin was startled, and stammered back: "The guards in the palace who accompany me to practice martial arts all say so, and they all say that I want to enter Beijing to become the emperor of the Central Plains, and create a prosperous Qing Dynasty ...... that the emperor and the emperor have never had!" ”

Concubine Zhuang was furious, shook her hand, and the stove fell heavily to the ground, "If you pass on the words of the palace, the guards around the emperor, Ta Duohai and Qi Musai, can't even take care of their own subordinates, both of them will be fined for one year, and the guards who are talking nonsense around the emperor will all be punished with thirty rods and expelled from the palace!" ”

Shunzhi was so frightened that he suddenly cried, Yuan Zhong saw this, hurriedly stepped forward and coaxed him out, but Sony and the others didn't even dare to make a sound, so they could only kneel down again and ask Concubine Zhuang to calm his anger.

Just when there was a mess in the warm pavilion, the internal officials hurriedly came to report, saying that the soldiers and horses of Prince Su Haoge had arrived outside the city, and Haoge had placed his men and horses, and would lead a group of generals under his command into the city to meet the emperor and the queen mother. The atmosphere in the warm pavilion is only relaxed.

Concubine Zhuang sighed lightly and ordered the ministers stationed in Shengjing to go out of the city to greet Haoge instead of her mother and son, and she would also arrange for Emperor Fulin to personally welcome Haoge back to Shengjing outside the palace gate.

Sonny and the others received the will, hurriedly retreated, and went directly to Shengjing's Desheng Gate, and in a short time, Haoge, who was wearing armor, had already galloped with dozens of generals under his command.

Seeing from a distance that Sonny and the others were waiting outside the city gate, Hauge and his party also slowed down the horse's footsteps, and when they got closer, Sonny and the others stepped forward and bowed.

"The prince has worked hard, His Majesty and the Queen Mother specially ordered me to wait outside the city gate to greet the prince, and the emperor's master and son are already waiting at the palace city!"

Haoge, who was full of dust, nodded, "How dare you work to greet your majesty, Haoge will enter the city to meet you, and thank you for welcoming you in person!" ”

Everyone said a few words of gossip, and was just about to beat their horses into the city, but there was a group of more than 500 soldiers and horses in the city, and when they came closer, they couldn't help but break up, and surrounded Hauge and others in the center.

Hauge was stunned for a moment, a look of uncertainty appeared on his face, and he looked at Sony, "Sony, what does this mean?" This king did not bring a soldier into the city, why did he besiege me with soldiers and horses, is it because His Majesty does not want to see me Haoge? ”

Sonny was also surprised, and saw clearly who the general at the head was, and immediately shouted loudly: "Leng Seng Ji, Gong Adai, Xihan, whose order did the three of you lead the soldiers and horses out of the city, didn't you see that Prince Su was ordered to meet you?" Get out of the way quickly, or else you will be guilty of a great disrespect!" ”

In fact, Sony, Leng Seng Ji, Gong Adai, and Xihan were originally the rising stars in the Eight Banners, and they had some friendship with Tan Tai and Ebai. After the death of Emperor Taiji on the same day, the nobles of the Eight Banners had a huge dispute over whether the son of Emperor Taiji or Dolgon. Tan Tai died in Julu early in the morning, but Sonny and the other five were divided into two factions and quarreled with each other. But Sonny overrode public opinion, insisted on establishing the son of Emperor Taiji, and persuaded the rest of the people to swear an oath in the Sanguan Temple and swear to assist the young master.

Because of this, Sonny has been appreciated by Concubine Zhuang, and her career has been smooth sailing over the years, and she has become a confidant and important minister around Concubine Zhuang and Fulin, but she is drifting away from the rest of the people.

Leng Seng Ji and others worked in the Shengjing pro-army, responsible for the security and defense of the Beijing division, but today they didn't know what medicine they had taken wrong, and they had the courage to come and surround Prince Su's team with full armament.

In the face of Sony's questioning, Leng Seng Ji just arched his hand and took out a paper scroll from his arms, "According to the military order of Prince Rui, Prince Regent, Prince Su Haoge and the ministers Yang Shan, Omoketu, Yi Chengge, Luo Shuo and others formed a party for personal gain, conspired to commit chaos, the evidence is conclusive, and Leng Seng Ji, the commander of the pro-army in the inner city, immediately arrested him!" ”

Leng Seng Ji's words were like a slap in the face to Sony, and he didn't know how to reply for a while.

Hauge's eyes narrowed instantly, a trace of murderous aura flashed in the corner of his eye, and he snorted softly: "Dolgon finally can't help it, right?" But this trick is a bit too child's play, whether I Haoge is loyal to the emperor or not, it seems that it is not his turn to speculate in Dolgon, and once he arrives at the emperor, he will have his own conclusion!
