Shengjing, Dolgon continued to claim that he was ill, and the magnates in the city accused Dolgon of not saving him from death, and at the same time, they all counted on the victory of the army of house slaves led by Du Du. Time seems to have frozen at this time, and it is extremely unbearable.

After a day and night, a ranger from the south finally arrived galloping, and the banner fluttering behind him revealed that he was carrying an urgent military report, and when the armor soldiers of the city informed the city of the news in advance, the previous solidification was immediately ignited.

It must have been brought back the news of Du Du's great victory, and someone was in a hurry to send the good news to the palace. Meanwhile, the Empress and Concubine Zhuang are gathering to discuss the current situation and how to deal with Dorgon's threats and blackmail. After hearing the news of Du Du's victory, the queen patted her chest as if she had been granted amnesty, "Du Du really lived up to everyone's high expectations for him, and we can finally break away from the control of Na Dolgon!" ”

But the queen turned her head and saw that Concubine Zhuang beside her was not as happy as her, and even showed some worry in her eyes.

"How to be unhappy? What else is there to worry about? ”

"There's always a hunch that things won't be that simple!"

The queen and Concubine Zhuang were originally aunts and nephews, and they served the same husband, so they were close to each other. And the queen has no children under her knees, and in addition to kissing and kissing this Concubine Zhuang, she is also a natural ally, so the two naturally have nothing to talk about.

"Everything must be prepared with both hands, and the Ming army may not be easy to match. It's not that I'm worried that if Du Du can really defeat them lightly, Dolgon won't be as quiet as he is now, so ......"

The queen interrupted Concubine Zhuang's worries dissatisfiedly.

"Hey, don't say it, you've been like this since you were a child, and things are always thinking about the worst, and you see that thing is going for the worst?"

Concubine Zhuang was uneasy and sighed, only in front of her aunt could she reveal her true feelings.

"Maybe it's overthinking......"

"Report! Not good, not good......"

The little eunuch pushed the door into the house in a panic, startling the queen, and the tea bowl in her hand almost fell to the ground.

"Queen Niang, Concubine Zhuang, no, Dudu Belle is defeated......"

"What? Didn't you win? Why did you lose again in a blink of an eye? ”

The queen's face was discolored, and she was a little out of proportion for a while, and she blamed Concubine Zhuang for not thinking about it, but now she is really defeated.

It took a lot of time for the queen and Concubine Zhuang to understand that it was a false report from the soldiers in the city for the first time, and this time it was a real military report.

"What can I do? Even Du Du has been defeated, who else can we count on to go? ”

Concubine Zhuang's expression was gloomy, and she seemed to be answering the queen, and she seemed to be talking to herself.

"Who else can be counted on, there is no one but Dolgon outside the city, unless, unless, unless......"

The queen heard Concubine Zhuang's self-talk clearly, her eyes lit up, and she quickly asked, "Unless, unless what?" ”

"Unless the army outside Shanhaiguan comes back to help at this moment!"

If so, Dorgon's 10,000-odd men would be useless. The queen and Concubine Zhuang will not be in such a dilemma as they are now, and they are overstretched. With the support of the two yellow flags, it is logical that Fu Lin does not have to go around and promise people everywhere.

The queen suddenly thought of something, and said hatefully: "This old generation is the most hateful, and one day I can't pick his skin!" ”

Unexpectedly, Concubine Zhuang burst out laughing in this situation.

"My aunt doesn't hate Dorgon, she doesn't hate the Ming army, why do you hate Prince Keli so much?"

The queen said hatefully: "Dai Shan's old treacherous and cunning, waiting for the price to sell, I'm afraid he has already settled our predicament, you say, hateful and hateful!" ”

The military newspaper arrived in Shengjing in the morning, and by noon the army had already fled one after another, and Dolgon's illness was miraculously cured at this critical moment. The magnates in Beijing, who had scolded Dorgon, turned to hope that Dolgon would send troops to administer justice for them and keep their property slaves.

Dolgon naturally proposed, it is not impossible to send troops, but it is necessary to first determine the ownership of the throne, and then he is also ordered to go south, so it is inevitable that the momentum will be like a bamboo, and the battle will be decided, and the Ming army will be tossed in Liaoyang in one fell swoop.

The magnates belonging to the various banners finally could not resist the strong pressure, and said that as long as Dolgon agreed to send troops, they promised him to put the establishment of the emperor on the agenda, and even let Ye Bushu succeed to the throne can also raise their hands to support.

However, this was indeed resolutely opposed by the two yellow flags and the two palaces, especially the queen and Concubine Zhuang, both of whom knew very well that once Ye Bushu succeeded to the throne, what awaited them would be an endless abyss nightmare. With a moment of loosening, they will become fish on a chopping block and can be slaughtered.

Therefore, Fulin must inherit the Great Qing Kingdom left by Huang Taiji, as for Ye Bushu, when he talked about this person, Concubine Zhuang's eyes were already full of murderous intent.

"What? Kill Yebushu? ”

"Yes, this is the only way to thwart Dorgon's plot and stop his blackmail!"

The queen palpitated and patted her chest.

"But, once we fail, we can, but there is no room for turnaround."

Concubine Zhuang asked coldly: "If you don't do anything, is there room for turnaround?" It's just a slower death! ”

The queen withered, what Concubine Zhuang said made sense, if she didn't do anything, after a long time, those magnates with the two yellow flags would probably not be able to withstand the pressure, after all, they also had a large amount of land in the south of Liaoyang, how could they lose their property in vain?

It was Concubine Zhuang who made a quick decision, once again summoned the magnates of the two yellow flags, asked them to hold on for another half a month, and swore to them that as long as they got through this difficulty, how much property and slaves the magnates lost would be made up in the future.

But after all, the old people of the royal family in Beijing scattered the flags, and only the support of the two yellow flags could not achieve absolute superiority. Under the instigation of these people, the matter of the succession of the prince was brought out, and Dolgon went against the norm and swaggered into Shengjing and then into the palace with the servants of the men.

Concubine Zhuang of Yongfu Palace had already hugged Fu Lin, who was still in swaddling clothes, and sat behind the curtain, and everyone was waiting for the concubine to take his son Ye Bushu to the palace, but they didn't wait left or right. Dolgon was already a little impatient as he sat under the dan mound, and suddenly a little eunuch entered the main hall in a panic.

"Little prince, little prince, he, he, return, return to heaven!"

As soon as these words came out, the palace was in an uproar, what? Yebushu is dead?

In a fit of rage, Dorgon kicked over the chair under him and strode away, leaving the palace and the capital of Shengjing, leaving the chaos of the palace behind him.

Seeing this situation, the people of the two yellow flags were relieved, it seems that Concubine Zhuang asked them to wait, not necessarily prepared to be killed. I underestimated this Concubine Zhuang, but I didn't expect that it was almost a sure moment, and it would turn around.

I'm afraid everyone knows that Ye Bushu's death is not clear, and I'm afraid it is inseparable from Concubine Zhuang and the queen, because Ye Bushu is dead, and Concubine Zhuang and the queen are the biggest beneficiaries. Otherwise, how could there be such a coincidence? It's simply not possible.

However, everyone also knows that killing Yebushu is not a solution at all, even if there are many sons of Emperor Taiji of Yebushu Khan, who are slightly younger than Yebushu, and the Shuosai produced by the side concubine Yehenara can be proposed by Dolgon as a candidate for succession, unless, unless the descendants of the first khan are killed, only Fulin is left.

This idea makes people shudder, and it really responds to the words of the Han people, there are no fathers and sons in the heavenly family, and they do not hesitate to kill each other for the sake of this world!

But without solid evidence, who can openly accuse Concubine Zhuang and the Empress of murdering the heirs of the first emperor? Soon, the results of the investigation in the palace about Ye Bushu's unprovoked violent death came out within a day. He actually accidentally ate poisonous mushrooms and died of poisoning.

As for where the poisonous mushrooms come from, the results are even more striking. It was actually the little eunuch who served Ye Bushu in the palace who picked it from outside the palace and made it for Ye Bushu to eat privately. In the end, the inner government staff killed all the eunuchs who served Ye Bushu as an explanation for this matter.

The rules in the palace are very strict, where did the eunuch pick the poisonous mushrooms, and how did they bring them into the palace, and then boiled them to the little master Ye Bushu, which has too many doubts. These little eunuchs have been indoctrinated with all kinds of rules since they were children, and it is impossible for them not to know the guilt of bringing things outside the palace for their masters to eat without permission, and what makes them dare to risk killing their heads to do so?

With a little speculation, the rumor that the eunuchs had poisoned could be overturned, but everyone was confused, and even Dolgon, who had previously supported Liye Bushu as emperor, did not intend to dwell on the matter. Only the concubine Yan Zha, who had just lost her son, was left miserable and miserable, and there was no way to ask for help.

After a big circle, things are back to the beginning. The crisis in Liaoyang still needs to be solved by competent people, and the master of the Shengjing Palace must also do his best to discuss it. Fu Lin, the son of Concubine Zhuang of Yongfu Palace, is still the most popular candidate.

The two yellow banners are no longer in a hurry to establish an emperor, and Dolgon is no longer aggressive, and Yiqiē seems to have deviated from the track of fighting for the throne because of Ye Bushu's death. It's just that the queen and Concubine Zhuang both understand that it's not that they don't want to be in a hurry, and it's not that Dorgon doesn't want to be aggressive.

The matter has reached this point, and it may be difficult to end if it continues to make trouble, so everyone is looking for another solution. Because of this, Dai Shan, who was far away in Shanhaiguan, suddenly became a hot figure secretly co-opted by all parties.

Clear-eyed people have long seen it, whether it is the queen and Concubine Zhuang in the palace, or Dorobelle Dorgon, they are actually waiting for this respectable, treacherous and cunning Prince Li to make a statement! It's just that who Daishan will be on is still unclear for a while. Despite Fulin's high voice, Dorgon would not sit idly by, and if he put forward the third son of the Yehnara clan, Shuose, to compete with Fulin for the throne!
