In July, Shengjing, the capital of the Manchu Qing Dynasty outside the Guanguan, compared to Beijing, there is already a hint of coolness in the air. Ning finished my blue clothes, there was no embellishment on the top and bottom of Zhou's body, just combed my hair to the slightest, the braids at the back of my head were tight and tight, followed by a eunuch, and trotted into the Daqing Gate.

It's been almost a year, and for a year, I have never set foot in the land of the Shengjing Imperial City again. From a close minister of the Son of Heaven to a domestic slave of Sakhalian, the third son of Prince Li, Daishan, he was again reduced to an outsider. What's more, as early as the first year of Chongde, Sakhalian had already died of illness, and becoming his domestic slave meant that he didn't even have a master behind him. As a result, the enemies who were provoked when they were proud pointed the finger at the Ning family one after another.

In this year, it is better to live than to die.

Because of the mistakes of his nephew Ning Tong, Tushun and others died in Fengyang, and the confidential information of Fan's firm was also excavated. Although the Ming court was in chaos, no one investigated this matter, but He Youling sternly warned the Fan family.

The matter of Ning Tong has attracted the attention of people with intentions, and next, we must stop and think about it in the long run.

The Manchu Qing Dynasty's idea of a news channel from outside the Guanxi to the Guannei, and from the north to the Jianghuai and Jiangnan failed completely, so Ning Wan I was deposed as a commoner by the Emperor Taiji, who was becoming violent and angry because of the illness of the eighth son of the Emperor at that time, and was still assigned to the Sakhalian clan as a clothed domestic slave.

Now, being able to set foot on the land of the Imperial City again, Ning Wan was so excited that I almost shed tears. Finally, the clouds are open and the moon is bright!

Seeing that the eunuch led himself in the direction of Guan Ju Palace, Ning Wan couldn't help but feel a little guilty in my heart. "It is really unreasonable for a good wise and martial emperor of the Qing Dynasty to have no intention of taking care of the government for the sake of a woman and a deceased eighth son."

"No, when we meet with the saint, I must advise the emperor to cheer up and revitalize the court, so as to show my iron backbone as a courtier."

But as soon as this thought came to mind, I was a little apprehensive. Last year, when the eighth prince was seriously ill, he suffered from the pond fish, if today because of the persuasion, suffered a disaster, will be a little cost-effective to lose the hard-won opportunity?

Thinking about the messy thoughts in my mind, Ning Wan had already arrived in front of the gate of Guan Ju Palace.

After the eunuch reported, he introduced Ning Wan and me into the warm pavilion, although the weather was cool, there was still some heat in the warm pavilion, and there was the kind of long-lasting smell of medicine, and as soon as I entered the house, Ning Wan almost sneezed.

"It is rumored outside that Concubine Guan Ju Palace's health is deteriorating because of the death of her beloved son, it seems that what she said is true!" As soon as I entered the door, I honestly knelt on the ground, but my mind was still spinning.

After the salute, I heard a voice not far away, "Get up!" "I'll just get up.

Peeking at the Emperor Taiji of the Great Qing Dynasty in front of him, Ning Wan and I knelt down again, my voice trembling, and I was choked up. "This is this, I haven't seen you for a year, master, how did the master clear up like this!"

The Manchu Eight Banners are still martial, and Huang Taiji is also good at riding and shooting, he was originally burly, but when he saw it today, he lost a lot of weight, and even his face was haggard.

Huang Taiji smiled and kicked lightly with his toes, "You minion, I haven't seen you for a year, but this mouth is as smooth as ever, don't hurry up, I have something important to do with you!" ”

"Master, please command!" Ning Wan felt a burst of ecstasy in my heart.

"There is news from the pass, Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong and those guys have been beaten by Yang Sichang, Hong Chengchou and others so that they can't raise their heads, and they see that the situation in this pass is about to calm down. In this way, the strategic focus of the Ming court will inevitably be shifted to Liaodong, and once the elite soldiers in the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty are transferred to the outside of the pass, our pressure will be great. ”

"What does the master mean ......?"

"It's July now, and when I decide to grow the grass and the eagle fly, I will go south on a big expedition, and I can't give the Ming court a chance to breathe!"

"Master Shengming!" After Ning, my voice was crying again.

"In terms of army scheduling and procurement, you don't have to worry about it. You are familiar with the affairs of the Guannai, and you have cooperated with the Fan family for many years, and you are familiar with each other, so you will infiltrate the Guannai and listen to the situation for the army first. By the way, you can order the Fan clan to raise military funds, grain and grass, and armor, and when the army enters the customs, you will be the forerunner, providing information such as the flow of people in the mountains and rivers and the style of the city along the way, and guiding the army to attack the city and plunder the land. ”

"The slave receives the order, and he must live up to the master's trust!"

Huang Taiji looked down at Ning Wan, "Don't keep thinking about your nephew's blood feud. Fengyang is located in the heart of the Ming Dynasty. Although the Ming Dynasty is full of holes, it still has considerable strength, and we may not be able to penetrate into its heart and do whatever we want. Although Lu Zhenfei killed your nephew, this person is a rare talent in the Ming Dynasty. One day, my Manchu army will go all the way south, and if this person can be used by me, I don't want to see you think anything else! ”

Ning Wan hesitated for a moment, and finally suppressed the flame of revenge in his heart, bowed his head and said yes.

Guan Ju Gong's concubine's physical condition is still not very optimistic, and the relationship between her and Huang Taiji is indeed deep. After Ning finished recovering the title of second-class Lazhangjing and the identity of a special envoy, he kowtowed and retired.

The eunuch on duty handed over the official robe, body and other things to Ning Wan, and Ning Wan and I walked out of the forbidden palace.

The sun is shining, the sun is purple and red, Ning Wan my mood is extremely comfortable, and the guards at the palace gate got the news in advance that they have prepared horses for Ning Wan who has been reinstated.

After I got on the horse, I was just about to ride my horse and whip up, and galloped home to tell my family the great news. The sound of horses' hooves could be heard in his ears, and when he looked back, dozens of knights in armor and armor surrounded two young men in brocade clothes and jade belts galloping towards him.

"Is it Ning Wan in front of me, you minion?" One of the young men waved his horsewhip and pointed at Ning Wan and asked in a loud voice.

After I took a closer look, I hurriedly rolled the saddle and dismounted, and fell to my knees. "It turned out to be the fourteenth master and the fifteenth master, and I will say hello to the two masters after the slave is finished!"

The two younger brothers of Huang Taiji were none other than Dorgon, Prince of Heshuorui, and Belle Dodordor, who was in charge of the white flag.

Brother Dorgon jumped off the horse, but before Dorgon could speak, Dorgon smiled and gently whipped me on the back, "You slave, I haven't seen you for a year, but I don't want to meet here today, it seems that I have encountered a good thing, and when I saw our two brothers, I didn't even say hello!" ”

Ning Wan's heart trembled. The Dolgon, Duoduo, and Azig, the king of Dorowuying, are the three sons born to the concubine of Hachi, Ala, and Abahai. In order to seize the throne, Huang Taiji forced Abahai to be martyred, but he was forced to reuse the three Dolgon brothers due to internal pressure.

Among the three brothers, Duoduo was the youngest, and he was also the most brave and warlike general in the Eight Banners Clan. However, he was greedy for wine, narrow-minded, irritable and irritable, and often drew a knife to kill people on the spot if he disagreed, so the nobles of the Eight Banners and the ministers of the Han army avoided him.

Now listening to his unkind tone, I was suddenly scared into a cold sweat, and even my body couldn't help shaking.

When Dorgon saw that I was shaking like chaff, he knew that it was due to his brother's murderous name, although it was funny. But he still snatched the whip from Dord's hand and threw it to the soldiers behind him. "Nonsense, seeing that Lord Ning is being activated again by the Great Khan, how can he talk like this!"

Duoduo Tian is not afraid of the earth, even Huang Taiji may not give face, but he respects this fourteenth brother, he just smiled at the moment, did not care at all, took two steps back, and went to talk to the head of the guards in front of the palace gate.

"Lord Ning, ...... this?" Dorgon took out the handkerchief he had brought with him and shoved it into my hand, letting him wipe the cold sweat from his forehead.

I couldn't shirk it, so I had to thank you and take it, "If you go back to the Fourteenth Master, it is indeed the Great Khan who summoned you!" ”

"But what did you confess?" Dorgon asked, pretending to be casual.

"This ......!" I'm a little embarrassed. The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty all knew Huang Taiji's jealousy of the three Dolgon brothers, and if the content of the errand was revealed, if Huang Taiji knew about it, he would inevitably repeat the mistakes of the past. But if I didn't tell Sù Dolgon, I really didn't have the courage to do so, and for a while, I was a little hesitant.

Dolgon saw through Ning Wan's careful thoughts at a glance, and he didn't get angry, just took a step closer, "Lord Ning doesn't have to be embarrassed, let King Ben guess, it's just a joke!" ”

Ning Wan smiled bitterly and arched his hand, "Thank you for your understanding!" ”

Dolgon looked up at the sky, and then looked at the official uniform and other things on Ning Wan's horseback, carefully studied Ning Wan's expression, and then whispered: "The Great Khan handed over to Lord Ning should still be the original messenger!" ”

Ning Wan was taken aback, and hurriedly lowered his head, neither saying yes nor denying it.

Dolgon laughed and patted Ning on the shoulder, "Since Mr. Ning doesn't say it, then the king won't ask anymore." In this way, in order to congratulate Lord Ning on his ascension, a banquet will be held in the king's mansion tomorrow evening to celebrate the adults, let's get drunk and rest! ”

After Ning Wan, I breathed a sigh of relief, and after thanking me, I hurriedly got on the horse and fled.

Dorgon looked at his back, a grim smile on his face.

"Brother, what's the situation, the dog slave refuses to say?"

Dorgon turned around and put his arm around Dord's shoulder, "He's already said it!" ”

Duoduo was stunned for a moment, "What did you say, I didn't hear anything!" ”

Dolgon stretched out a finger and quietly pointed in the direction of Guan Ju Palace, "That one, it's going to use troops against Guan Nei!" ”

Duoduo jumped up suddenly, "That's good, it's just so good that our brothers can make another war exploit, kill more Ming dogs, and rob some barbarian women." I'm going to sue Brother Sùtwelve! ”

Dolgon laughed angrily and grabbed Dodor as he turned to leave. "Nonsense, there is no news in the palace and the court now, once it is passed to you, you and I don't want to lead the troops into the customs, and even today's wealth will be greatly reduced."

"What then?"

Dorgon pondered for a moment, "You go to Brother Twelve and tell him the details so that he can prepare, but please keep it secret." Tonight, I asked the twelve sisters-in-law to go to the palace, and I had to go to Yongfu Palace to ask Yu'er if there was any news there. Remember, you and my brother can only prepare secretly, and we must not let Hauge become the commander of the southern expedition! ”
