Chapter Forty-Nine: The Controlled Hero
The scorching sun, the piercing chirping of cicadas. Riding a horse in the summer is not a comfortable thing. Ao Bai regretted it as soon as he went out, and he wanted the phoenix to stay in the palace and go on the road alone. Phoenix insisted on going to Qinghe with him.
Walking on the road, Ao Bai smiled bitterly: "Since we got married, we don't seem to have traveled together, but it's a pity that it's too hot." ”
Phoenix smiled: "You wouldn't have deliberately said that the situation was so bad just to go out with me, right?" Since the Khan King has chosen Dorgon as his heir, and has talked to Huang Taiji, maybe he will not grab the Khan throne. ”
Ao Bai sighed: "Why don't you believe me? If I were Huang Taiji, I would definitely do something. Changing the will is the best way, and I have an ominous premonition that going to Qinghe this time may not be so smooth. ”
Phoenix was curious: "Can a will be forged?" Doesn't it need to be stamped with a sweat mark? ”
Ao Bai said with a smile: "The four major Baylors have been auxiliary to the government for a long time, and it is not difficult for Huang Taiji to forge a seal." ”
Phoenix was slightly stunned and said, "Why are you so thoughtful, have you also thought about being the King of Khan?" ”
Ao Bai looked at no one around, and said lightly: "To be honest, I did want to be the emperor, but not the Khan King, but to overthrow the Ming Dynasty and become the emperor of the Han people!" ”
The phoenix looked at Ao Bai and opened her mouth wide. "You're kidding, aren't you?"
Ao Bai shook his head and said, "It's not a joke. You're the closest person to me, so I don't want to hide it from you. I thought about being emperor, but Dorgon was really nice to me, he was my best friend and like my brother. If he is the king of the Khan, I can accept it and am willing to help him govern the country well, and if other people become the king of the Khan, I will not agree. ”
Phoenix smiled and said, "Dolgon also told me that the only person he admires is you. He thinks that in terms of talent, you are more suitable to be the king of the Khan. It turns out that the throne can still be given back and forth. ”
Dolgon actually said such things to Phoenix, Ao Bai shouted surprise, in this way, his own words will definitely affect his decision, he smiled: "No matter what, I have to help Dolgon fight for the Khan throne, I destroyed Huang Taiji's conspiracy twice, and calculated Hauge, if Huang Taiji becomes the Khan King, I will definitely be in big trouble." He's going to hurt me for Hauge's sake. ”
Phoenix was very confident in Ao Bai and said, "As long as the King of Khan agrees to play a play with you, there will be no problem." ”
Let's hope so. Ao Bai has no bottom in his heart.
If it weren't for the important things, Ao Bai really wanted to have a good time with the phoenix for a few days. In order to get to Qinghe as soon as possible, in addition to eating and staying in the hotel to rest, they almost kept hurrying again. If it were an ordinary woman, I would definitely not be able to stand it. But the phoenix didn't even complain.
On the third day, the sky suddenly became overcast, and dark clouds were thick. In the summer, it often rains heavily, and Ao Bai seems to be able to smell the rain, and says, "Let's quickly find a place to shelter from the rain." ”
After riding for a while, the rain fell, and they were lucky enough to see a village. There is also a small restaurant at the entrance of the village.
Ao Bai and Phoenix put down their horses and entered the restaurant. As soon as he sat down, he saw a middle-aged man wearing a yellow flag rush in, he was already wet from the rain, took out a bag from his arms, and opened it anxiously, and was relieved to see that the contents were not wet.
At a glance, Ao Bai recognized that the man was carrying something from the Khan's handwriting. As if there was something urgent, he walked over and asked, "This big brother, are you going to send a letter to the Great Khan?" ”
When the soldier with the yellow flag saw Aobai, he was stunned at first, and then smiled: "Aobai? Why are you here? Remember me? I'm Qi Buchen, and we've been to Huajue Island together, and I'm following you at that time...... By the way, you are now the deputy commander of the white flag, and I should call you an adult. ”
"Brother Qi Buchen, I just came up to speak when I saw that you were familiar. Is there any indication for the Great Khan? Ao Bai said polite words, but in fact, he didn't have any impression at all. The costume inlaid with the yellow flag is so conspicuous, it must be familiar.
Qi Buchen smiled bitterly: "It's great to meet you, King Khan has issued an order to summon the eldest concubine and the eldest bailer for the fourth time, have they left?" The Great Khan was very angry, but it was raining again......"
"What do you say? The Khan summoned the Grand Concubine and the Great Beyler? How long ago was this? The concubine didn't know at all, and she didn't receive any instructions. Outside the house, lightning and thunder roared, and Ao Bai's heart was like being struck by lightning. Something must have happened.
When Qi Buchen heard this, he frowned and said, "It has been more than twenty days since the first edict of the Great Khan was issued. The Great Khan's spirit has not been very good, and he wants to ask the concubine to accompany him, but there has been no news. The king of the Khan was angry, and his illness became serious. ”
Aobai's mind was in a hurry, and he immediately thought of a possibility - Nurhachi was controlled! He hurriedly asked, "Who is accompanying the Khan King now?" Didn't those messages go directly to the palace? ”
Seeing his solemn expression, Qi Buchen replied, "Is something wrong?" There were a few personal guards who accompanied the Great Khan, and Lord Amba Lingwu said that the Great Khan had confessed, and the matter was very important, and the letter must be sent to the Sibeile Mansion. ”
Ao Bai suddenly understood, I rubbed! Huang Taiji, a dog mongrel, actually played such a hand! It turned out that he had secretly co-opted the guards around King Khan a long time ago, and Amba Lingwu was appreciated by King Khan, and he had a good relationship with Huang Taiji. Now that Nurhachi is very sick, it is not difficult for Amba Lingwu to control him. The situation on the Qinghe side has been mastered by Huang Taiji's people! If the eldest concubine goes to accompany King Khan, there will definitely be many variables, and Huang Taiji is worried about this, so he withholds the news. Those who sent the letter have been killed.
I can't imagine that as a crossing man, my thinking is slower than others, which is really weak! The more Ao Bai thought about it, the more angry he became, and slapped his palm on the table, directly slapping the wooden table apart.
Seeing that his face was pale, Qi Buchen immediately changed his tone and said timidly: "My lord, you are ...... this"
The owner of the shop and Xiao Er looked at Aobai, but they didn't dare to come up and speak.
"We're losing this table." The phoenix whispered to the boss a piece of silver, and the boss's face suddenly turned cloudy and clear. The people of Jin are not rich, and this ingot of silver is enough for an ordinary family to spend a few months or even a year.
The phoenix stepped forward and took Aobai's hand and said softly, "Why are you angry?" ”
"Oops. We're going to Qinghe now, I'm afraid it's too late. Ao Bai looked at Qi Buchen and asked, "How is the Great Khan's condition now?" ”
Qi Buchen sighed: "It's very serious, the Great Khan can't get out of bed anymore." Even this edict was written by Lord Amba Lingwu...... What the hell is going on? ”
Ao Bai didn't answer, it was useless to tell Qi Buchen too much.
In the past month, they have not heard from King Khan, nor do they know the progress of his condition, they only know to pay attention to Huang Taiji, the enemy does not move, I do not move. Huang Taiji has always kept a low profile at home, attracting everyone's attention, but he sent people to secretly Chen Cang and control the Khan King. If you think about it a little deeper, maybe the imperial doctor who suggested Nurhachi to go to Qinghe Hot Spring for recuperation was bought by Huang Taiji.
Nurhachi was very sick, and he decided to go to the hot springs for recuperation after suffering from carbuncles, and this matter was public. The best way to fight for the Khan throne is not to harm Dolgon in Shenyang, but to directly control Nurhachi. Now Nurhachi is ill and can't write, and the edict is written by someone else, if Amba Lingwu writes a will on his behalf, saying that Huang Taiji will be enthroned, stamped with a sweat seal, and then coincide with the will in Yanguli's hand, it is a two-pronged approach, and there is no doubt.
Huang Taiji has been planning for the throne for I don't know how many years. The two sides did not go head-to-head, and Huang Taiji seemed to be at a disadvantage, but in fact, he was already winning, he was taking the left road, relying on a determination. At this point, Ao Bai realized that he still underestimated Huang Taiji, this person's mind was too insidious.
At this time, if Dolgon wanted to change the situation and inherit the throne of Khan, one was to go to Qinghe to rob the Khan King, and the other was ruthless, leading his troops to rush into Baylor Mansion and kill Huang Taiji. I can't imagine that Nurhachi is so mixed up when he is dying, not to mention being treated as a puppet, and he doesn't even have a relative by his side. He was afraid that he would die of anger before he died.
Ao Bai looked at the sky and prayed in his heart that the rain would stop soon. Said to Phoenix: "Phoenix, we won't go to Qinghe, and as soon as the rain stops, we will go back to Shenyang immediately." Brother Qi Buchen, you and I went directly to the palace to inform the concubine, don't go to the Sibeile Mansion, the edict of the King of Khan, the concubine has not received it once. ”
Qi Buchen also guessed something, and exclaimed: "You mean ......"
"I didn't say anything, and you don't ask anything." Ao Bai to Qi Buchen, not completely convinced, too lazy to speak.
An hour later, the rain stopped. The three of them took advantage of this time to eat something. He set out on the road back to the city again. After the rain, the road was muddy, much more difficult to walk, and the splashed pants were covered with mud, and they had to rush back as quickly as possible.
Ao Bai barely spoke along the way, and he began to wonder, has history changed? Will Huang Taiji still become the Khan King?
During the night's stay, Phoenix lay in his arms and said softly, "What happened?" You're looking so ugly right now. ”
Ao Bai whispered: "If I tell you that the Great Khan is secretly controlled by Huang Taiji's people, and soon Huang Taiji will ascend to the throne of Khan, do you believe it?" ”
Phoenix said lightly: "I believe, but after all, it is the two brothers who are vying for the throne, you just need to inform Dorgon of the situation, right?" ”
Ao Bai smiled bitterly: "That's right, after all, the Jin Kingdom is the world of Aixin Jueluo, I shouldn't be so worried, but Huang Taiji has already made an enmity with me...... Never mind. When I go back, I'll tell Dolgon and Azig what they think, and let them decide what to do. ”
Ao Bai knew that in history, Dolgon fought for the throne twice, but did not take the form of civil war. This time, Dorgon is likely to choose Shinobi. Killing Huang Taiji is already the last chance. Speaking of killing Huang Taiji, the concubine is afraid that she will have to stop it again, this stupid woman, maybe when the water comes out, she will understand his good intentions.
