Chapter 435: Convincing King Rui
Dolgon's current thoughts were completely different from those after hearing about Shengjing's change at the beginning, and when he heard that Li Xin's envoy had returned, he was not in a hurry but finished discussing the matter with the generals.
It was Mi Yan who came back, and after he entered the military tent, he bowed and saluted, and his mouth was neither humble nor arrogant.
"In Xia Miyan, I have seen His Royal Highness King Rui!"
Dolgon's attitude towards him was not as concerned as before, but buried his head in pretending to review the official documents, and after a while he came back to his senses, put the brush on the table, and said with a smile: "Sir went and returned, I don't know what to say?" ”
Miyan was not surprised by Dolgon's behavior, as if he was expecting, he gave it up again.
"On the orders of the general, I came to solve problems for His Highness!"
"Oh? Why worry, why is it difficult, how can this king not know? ”
Dolgon pretended to be confused, and Mi Yan smiled indifferently and went straight in.
"Shengjing has changed, how can His Highness not know?"
"Oh, how does the gentleman teach?"
Regarding the Shengjing incident proposed by Mi Yan, Dolgon neither denied nor affirmed it, but asked a rhetorical question. Mi Yan still looks like a bamboo in his chest, talking eloquently.
"The general often said that thanks to the care of His Royal Highness when he was in Gaoyang, he can have today. It's just that I have always felt that I owe His Highness a lot, and I have been suffering from the opportunity to have no return, but now I have the best reason! ”
At this time, there were only two brothers in the military tent, Dolgon and Dordor, and Dolgon nodded lightly to what Miyan said, but still did not say anything. However, his brother Duoduo doesn't have such a good city, Mi Yan doesn't mention Li Xin's despicable behavior in Gaoyang, even if he mentions it, he will be on fire, if it weren't for Li Xin's ingratitude and rebellion, how could the fourteenth brother even lose the prince and end up in such a crisis? immediately stood up and slapped the table, and said angrily:
"Phew! The Southern Barbarian Li Xin was despicable, shameless, and ungrateful......"
Dolgon coughed suddenly, and Duoduo realized his gaffe, so he snorted, sat back in his place, and took the teacup in front of him and poured a few sips of herbal tea in one go, which was considered to relieve his anger.
Mi Yan, who was scolded, didn't think it was angry at all, but said to Duoduo, who was bored and angry: "His Royal Highness King Yu said this is wrong, when he was in Gaoyang, he was his own master, and he had to do it as a last resort. At the same time, he bowed his hand to Dolgon, "His Royal Highness King Rui is noble and righteous, and he puts his heart in his heart, and the general is often depressed because of this, and he often blames himself for owing much to King Rui. ”
When he said this, he seemed to praise Dorgon, but Dordo trembled intuitively, and he felt the irony in every word. But after all, he is not a reckless person with a stupid brain, the fourteenth brother can endure this southern barbarian being so presumptuous, there must be his plan, and it depends on how the fourteenth brother says it. So, Duoduo picked up the teacup in front of him and poured two sips, but found that the tea inside had bottomed out, and he slammed the teacup on the table.
The three of them didn't speak for a while, and the air in the military tent also changed a little delicately at this time. Suddenly, Dolgon laughed twice and said happily: "General Li is both wise and brave, and this king misses it very much, but I don't know when I will have the opportunity to see him." ”
I saw that Mi Yan seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and said: "Your Highness and the general are both people with a thousand powers, how can they leave the center without permission." However, if His Highness asks the general how he will reciprocate, he will explain one or two on his behalf. ”
Mi Yan paused for a moment, and then said again: "Open the skylight and say something bright, according to reliable information, Huang Taiji is under martial law in Shengjing, mainly aimed at His Royal Highness, and the other princes are okay, His Highness's mansion has long been occupied by the forbidden army." ”
This was unknown to Dolgon, whose slaves had been bribed to sneak out at the beginning of the lockdown, and what had happened in Shengjing was not known since then. After hearing what Mi Yan said, his brows couldn't help jumping, to be honest, he still thought that Huang Taiji would not tear his face so openly and use his family as a threat. However, he remained silent and asked again:
"Oh? What Mr. said made this king confused, the Great Khan is the king of this king and the brother of this king, and this king has not done anything wrong, what reason does the Great Khan have to make it difficult for this king? What's more, now this king is leading the elite of the Qing Dynasty to fight against the Ming army. ”
Mi Yan shook his head when he heard this, "Your Highness's words are different, Huang Taiji's favorite concubine Chen died of illness a few days ago......"
"The fourteenth brother of Concubine Chen has long known about it, and the Great Khan returned to Beijing for this reason, which is not a secret in the army, you southern barbarian, can you not always be verbose, and say something happily."
Duoduo finally couldn't bear Miyan's way of speaking, and reprimanded.
"Do the two highnesses really not know why Concubine Chen died? Then you should know that a merchant named Lu Jia has been arrested, right? ”
Dolgon's heart moved, Duoduo's house slaves had linked the death of Concubine Chen to Lu Jia's arrest, but this statement was too unbelievable, he didn't believe it in his heart, and he was still a little suspicious. But when it came out of the mouth of Li Xin's messenger, he couldn't help but be shocked.
This is an extremely secret thing, and it is also in secret, how did he, an outsider, know so much about it? Even from words, I can feel that I know more than I do. However, Dolgon still did not express his position, but said lightly: "It is just a rumor outside, and it is not enough to believe it!" ”
Mi Yan turned to a sneer and said proudly: "Isn't Your Highness deceiving yourself? The emperor Taiji clearly believed that Concubine Chen's death was related to the merchant named Lu Jia, and the conclusion of the investigation by the Internal Affairs Office was that Concubine Chen was poisoned and died! Everyone knows the relationship between Lu Jia and His Royal Highness, Lu Jia is suspected of poisoning Huang Taiji's favorite concubine, how can His Highness get out of the relationship? ”
Dolgon had already considered this possibility, but he still had a trace of illusion, after all, he hadn't done anything, he was frank and unrestrained, and Lu Jia's actions might not all represent his thoughts, and he believed that Huang Taiji would not be carried away by anger. And Dolgon also reported another fantasy, that is, Concubine Chen did not die of poisoning at all, and it was all rumors. It is precisely with this judgment that Dolgon calmly supervised the battle in front of the army, only waiting for the victory of the first battle, so as to dispel Huang Taiji's concerns, or make him dare not act rashly.
However, Mi Yan's words have a great tendency to be deafening and enlightening. Dolgon's sudden enlightenment and true realization of the danger of the situation he was facing, had reached a critical moment of life and death. But he couldn't figure it out anyway, what reason did Lu Jia have to poison Concubine Chen, who was dancing those invisible hands behind his back? He was almost certain that this was a conspiracy, a conspiracy against him.
With his mind turning, Dolgon went through all the kings of Shengjing in his heart, and he wanted to determine who was his greatest threat, and who was willing to risk his life to dispose of him as soon as possible. But there are not a few princes who are qualified to be enemies of him, how can there be a certain number in a hurry.
Dolgon's complexion changed in Miyan's eyes, and a scheming smile flashed in his eyes.
"After the general learned of this shocking secret, he felt that the opportunity to repay His Highness had come, so he sent him down twice to contact His Highness."
Now, Dolgon no longer pretended to be confused, and asked directly in a deep voice: "How does General Li want to help this king?" Is it conditional? With this question, it is also reasonable, so he does not believe that Li Xin will come to negotiate with him for no reason.
Mi Yan replied: "Your Highness's words are serious, General Li is really dedicated to repaying His Highness, and there is only one reluctant request, that is, the boundary between the Ming and Qing Dynasties has returned to before the Great War, which will not be damaged in the slightest." ”
Without waiting for Dolgon to answer, Duoduo slapped the table again and said angrily: "I think of beauty, if I lose Ning Jin and go back, won't Huang Taiji have more truth to take revenge on the fourteenth brother?" You Nanban is too despicable, are you a fool when I am the Baturu of the Qing Dynasty? ”
After Mi Yan, he bowed his hand to the aggressive again, "Your Highness is too anxious, listen to the words and then make a conclusion, see if it's worth it!" ”
"If you have something to say, let it go if you have a fart! I don't have the time to chat with you here! If you can't say a meridian, don't think about standing up and walking out of this military tent! ”
Mi Yan didn't care about Duoduo's lust and guilt, he knew that he had firmly grasped the minds of the two slave kings.
"What the general is trying to do is to push His Royal Highness to the pinnacle of power in the Manchu Qing Dynasty in Liaodong."
The statement of the pinnacle of power made Duoduo not slow down for a while, and asked dissatisfiedly: "When the fourteenth brother was not cut, he was almost the same as one person under ten thousand people in the Eight Banners, and the southern barbarian Li Xin could only make the fourteenth brother lose and regain it at best, as long as the fourteenth brother won the battle in front of him and took the city to capture Hong Chengchou, he could also lose and recover, why use you to sell this cheap and obedient?" ”
Unlike Dordor, Dorgon was keenly aware of what Miyan meant by the pinnacle of power, and his eyes were directly on Miyan.
"Mr. Mi, please keep talking!"
"The general can help His Highness ascend to the throne of Khan, isn't this enough for the land of Ningjin?"
As soon as these words came out, Duoduo, who originally wanted to scold Mi Yan, was dumbfounded, and he didn't know what to say for a while. Huang Taiji's martial arts are far superior to those of the princes, even the fourteenth brother is far behind, so he has never thought of such a difference, how can he not be shocked when he hears Mi Yan.
Dolgon was shocked in his heart, but he soon felt that this may not be Li Xin's sincere words, and there are some truths and falsehoods in them, I am afraid that only God knows that they know, if he does not check the truth for a while, he will not regret it. At the thought of this, Dorgon burst into laughter.
"The matter is big, and there is no basis for empty words, how can we make a decision lightly? General Li always has to show sincerity in order to make this king feel more at ease, what does Mr. Mi think? ”
