After receiving Nurhachi's will, Hulhan's condition did not improve, but gradually worsened. Knowing that the deadline was approaching, Huerhan had a secret conversation with Nurhachi and Yanguli, and handed over the will to Yanguli. At the end of the year, Huerhan died of illness.

In order to pave the way for Dolgon's succession, Nurhachi took a series of measures, first imprisoning the governor Aden, because Adun suggested that Huang Taiji be made the crown prince. Later, Erdeni, a university scholar, was executed for taking bribes. Erdeni had a close relationship with Huang Taiji and gave advice. Nurhachi had long looked at him unpleasantly. Killing Erdeni, Nurhachi made it clear that he was dissatisfied with Huang Taiji.

A month later, when the case of Urgudai was interrogated, everyone directly bombarded the Huang Taiji Group.

This time, it was originally a trial of the so-called case of the Urgu Dai Governor's Hall accepting gifts from Han officials, and among the 120 times of the confessions, only one case involved Huang Taiji, Dege, Jierharang, and Yue Tuo.

Urgudai defended that at that time, Li Diankui, the superintendent of Yongning, gave him ten taels of gold. He suspected that Li Diankui was using tricks and deliberately framed him, so he sent the gold first, and then denounced it, so he asked Huang Taiji to see the gold, and Huang Taiji agreed with this view, called "temporarily hide this gold, and order it to look at it after the accident." For that matter. Urgudai is not accepting bribes, and there is nothing wrong with Huang Taiji. Huang Taiji is one of the four major Baylors who deal with the important affairs of the military state, and he is also the "Duty Moon Baylor" of that month, of course, he has the right and responsibility to inquire into this matter, Derge, Zilharang, and Yue Tuo are "Parliamentary Baylors", and they also have the right to know about this matter, and they are not wrong.

However, the public inquisitors who tried the case firmly grasped this only "implication" and made a big fuss, concluded that the four Baylors were guilty, and reopened the old historical accounts, and brought out the matter of Erdeni's hiding of Dongzhu in one go, so as to show that Huang Taiji and others colluded with each other to punish them, and finally ruled that the four Baylors had committed crimes, proposed punishment, and asked Nurhachi to adjudicate. In fact, this was all instructed by Nurhachi.

Afterwards, although Nurhachi did not dismiss Huang Taiji from his position, but only fined him and took back a few Niu Lu, he scolded him fiercely in front of everyone, reprimanded him for being arrogant and rude, and condemned him for colluding with Derge and others, which greatly damaged his image, which was a heavy blow to Huang Taiji's activities to compete for the throne.

In the same year, Nurhachi gave 60 oxen of the two yellow banners under his command to the three brothers Azig, Dolgon, and Duoduo, which was also quite eye-catching. Nurhachi's seventh son, Abatai, marched and fought and hunted, and only received six cattle as an elder. Such an arrangement already has the meaning of power transfer. It is clear at a glance which of the three brothers is the most capable, and that is Dolgon!

Another two years passed.

Ao Bai is fifteen years old. He had been working as a personal guard by Dorgon's side, and the two of them had eaten and lived together, and their relationship grew closer. His status has also risen, even some generals in the Eight Banners Army, when they see him, they call him a brother and brother, giving him enough face. He wears the aura of a young Baturu, and he is like a foreign surname in the palace.

However, in terms of martial arts training, he encountered a bottleneck, and it was difficult to improve his moves, so he had to strengthen his strength training. He was already able to pull out the three-stone bow, and his height had grown to nearly one meter nine. Dolgon is also 1.8 meters, surpassing Dai Shan, Huang Taiji and others...... This has a lot to do with the fact that Ao Bai does not let him stay up too early, and for this Dorgon is very grateful, and men want to grow taller.

In recent years, the Jin State has reduced its conquests and focused on internal rectification, training the army, developing production, implementing reforms, and suppressing Han rebellions. After discussion, Nurhachi prepared to move the capital from Liaoyang to Shenyang. This was a strategic westward shift, and Shenyang's location extended in all directions, which was conducive to further consolidating its rule in the Liaoshen region.

At the same time, in order to make the relationship between the Jianzhou Jurchens and their allies the Mongol Horqin tribe more harmonious, Nurhachi decided to marry. On this day, Huang Taiji, Dolgon, and Ao Bai were summoned by the Khan at the same time.

Nurhachi was much older again, and he said in a hoarse voice: "Huang Taiji, how are you preparing to lead the team to the Horqin tribe?" ”

Huang Taiji said: "It's ready, and you can set off the day after tomorrow." ”

Nurhachi nodded, asked Dolgon a few words, and then looked at Aobai.

Ao Bai's heart was a little hairy. The matter of marrying a wife was announced three days ago, and Huang Taiji and Dolgon were the protagonists of the marriage. Why are you summoning him today? Nurhachi likes to mess with mandarin duck scores, and he had an ominous premonition when he came. He was fifteen years older than Dorgon, and he had not yet taken a wife, so could he be ......

Nurhachi looked at him and asked with a smile: "Aobai, you are not young anymore, and you should also set up a family affair, do you have anyone in your phase?" ”

Ao Bai hurriedly knelt down and said righteously: "The good intentions of the Great Khan are understood. If I marry a wife, I am afraid that I will not be able to concentrate on martial arts, I am dedicated to the pursuit of martial arts, I hope to fight on the battlefield as soon as possible, and I want to postpone the matter of marrying a wife. ”

Nurhachi smiled slightly, and when he heard Ao Bai say this, he felt a little sorry for him. Aobai's skills are obvious to all, and now on the battlefield, he must also be a fierce general, and his future achievements may be better than Dai Shan, Mang Gurtai and others, for three years he has been letting Ao Bai be by Dolgon's side, and has not given him the opportunity to make contributions. He had no complaints, and he was faithful to the Lord, which is really rare.

Nurhachi smiled: "In this way, this time you will also go to the Horqin Department together, and the marriage with the Mongols is related to the interests of my Jianzhou Jurchen." If you meet the object you like, let Sibeile and your second brother be the matchmaker for you, if not, I will arrange it for you in the future, how about it? ”

If Nurhachi wants to arrange it for him, it will be tragic. The Jurchens had a big aesthetic problem, and except for Dolgon's mother, Abahai, Nurhachi's wives were not good-looking. Those Gege are not beauties. Cong Gu Tugege, who is of the same age, seems to have a crush on him, if he is asked to marry Cong Gu Tu, his only thought is to practice magic skills and wield a knife from the palace. It is much better to go to Mongolia and find one by yourself than to be forced to marry Gege.

Thinking of this, Ao Bai hurriedly said: "Xie Dahan, I am willing to find a woman to marry in Horqin and contribute to the friendship between the two ethnic groups." ”

This is said very selflessly, what he thinks in his heart is that there is a huge Horqin tribe, shouldn't there be no beautiful women?

Walking out of the hall, Huang Taiji seemed to be deliberately teasing him, squinted his eyes, and said with a smile: "Aobai, if you fancy any person, just bring it up, don't be presumptuous, your skills are more than enough to be a concubine." ”

Ao Bai smiled: "Brother Xie Ba, let's get married, this will be good for our country." ”

"Then you guys should prepare well. We'll set off the day after tomorrow. ”

The two went back to their lodgings together. Dorgon asked, "Why don't you offer to marry my sister?" Father Khan will definitely agree! There are a lot of beautiful women in the palace who like you, but you are lukewarm to them, and you have too high an eyesight, right? ”

That's because the beauty in your eyes is a floating cloud in my eyes. Ao Bai smiled bitterly: "To tell you the truth, I am tall, so I also want to find a taller woman." It's better to be able to play...... In this way, it will not affect my practice. ”

Dorgon laughed. "A tall, beatable woman? Who would like a woman like that? It's so interesting if you want to marry someone like that. ”

In this era, most men are fond of petite and delicate women, and the tall ones are often hated to marry women, and in Dorgon's view, the idea of worship is different. In Aobai's opinion, it is still a tall woman who is sexier.

"That's what I thought, let's wait until I get to Horqin."

Marrying is not a trivial matter, Ao Bai went home from the palace in the afternoon and discussed it with his family. He repeated Nurhachi's words as they were. Wei Qi slapped his head and said hurriedly: "Such a good opportunity, why don't you directly ask the Great Khan to marry Gege?" So you are a, what a glory is that? Is there room for this? ”

I wouldn't do that kind of thing if I had the leeway, and I'm not a soft eater. Ao Bai had already thought of an excuse and said with a smile: "Amma, I think it may not be a good thing to propose to marry Gege at this time, and it may be jealous, and it will be even more difficult for King Khan to agree." Come to think of it, I have a good relationship with Dorgon, and everyone knows that the Khan has been very good to me. But I have no position, and I have no military merits, is it reasonable to marry Gege again? Let's wait until I've been on the battlefield and made great achievements. Now that Dolgon and I are like brothers, even if we don't marry Gege, the royal family will reuse us. ”

Wei Qi felt that his words were reasonable, looked at him, and asked in a low voice, "Let me ask you something, is it possible for Dolgon and Duoduo to inherit the throne in the future?" Do you know something in the palace? ”

Ao Bai Zhengse said: "King Khan should be old and strong, and it is still early to abdicate." However, Dolgon has a high chance of succeeding to the throne, let's talk about it at home, but we must not spread it, talking about the royal family will cause trouble. ”

Wei Qi smiled and said, "Yes, we only talk about it at home." I forgot about it and didn't mention it to outsiders. ”

Several of Aobai's brothers nodded yes. Now the family is centered on Aobai.

There was a faint worry in Aobai's heart, he couldn't remember what year Nurhachi died, but he remembered that Dorgon was less than fifteen years old at that time. If this life is still related to the history of the previous life, Nurhachi's lifespan is just over a year. The next expedition is likely to be the Battle of Ningyuan, where Nurhachi will be defeated and may be injured...... At that time, the kingdom of Jin will be changed, can Dolgon really become the king of Khan?

Baha interrupted his train of thought and said, "Third brother, you are going to the Horqin tribe this time, but you want to marry a beautiful sister-in-law and come back." ”

Table Butai smiled: "I have been to the Horqin tribe, the Mongols are also martial, with your ability, as long as you show your hands, the women there will definitely be at your disposal, you have to fight to marry a Gege back!" ”

Gege again? Ao Bai couldn't cry or laugh, hoping to meet the right person.
