Chapter 51: Two Edicts
Life is like an illusory dream, for a person who truly understands the value of life, what could be more real than power? Seeing that Huang Taiji won the initiative, Ao Bai began to gradually understand the benefits of power.
As long as Dolgon can ruthlessly calculate Huang Taiji before the death of King Khan, he must be the one who has the last laugh. But he is not a selfish, ruthless person, so he is doomed to failure. Character determines a person's life, and no matter how many battles Dolgon fights, he is still a person who values family affection. The second time he failed to fight for the throne, it must have something to do with it.
Ao Bai led the horse and walked back slowly.
It's useless to go to Qinghe. The few people that Abahai brought with him were not a threat. Yanguli didn't have to think much about it, and Duoduo went in vain. Yanguli can be said to be the first general of the Jurchens, although the two have not fought each other, but Aobai estimates that Yanguli is by no means below him. It is impossible for such a person to take a spoiled fool like Duoduo in his eyes.
The overall situation has been decided, just waiting for the water to come out. Ao Bai also made up his mind, ready to implement his plan, looking for an opportunity to leave the Jin country, the sea is wide and the fish jumps, and the sky is high for the birds to fly. What we have to focus on now is how to take the phoenix and Hai Lanzhu together, if Yao Qianyu can stand on his side and be a leader, it would be great.
After returning to the palace, Hai Lanzhu was wandering around the courtyard, and as soon as he saw him come back, he immediately greeted him, took his hand, and frowned: "Are you okay?" ”
Ao Bai smiled and said, "It's okay." ”
Hai Lanzhu said bitterly: "Don't lie to me, just now I heard the eldest concubine and Dolgon quarreling, she said that you are not well-intentioned, let Dolgon stay away from you in the future, they don't believe you, you must be very uncomfortable." ”
Ao Bai laughed and said: "Then what do you say I should do, isn't it a sin to cry with a man leaning on your little shoulder?" I'm really fine, because I've already thought about it, and not only am I not angry, but I also want to thank the concubine, who made me realize some of my mistakes. ”
Hai Lanzhu saw that his expression was natural, and he really didn't feel uncomfortable, so he immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Then what did you do just now?" ”
Ao Bai took Hai Lanzhu's hand back to the house, called the phoenix again, closed the door, and said lightly: "I went to the Great Belle Mansion just now, the two red flags will not support Dolgon, they must remain neutral." ”
Phoenix listened to him analyze the situation and asked, "Is there no one to support Dolgon except for the two yellow flags and the white flag?" ”
Ao Bai nodded. "What about Dolgon?" he asked. ”
Hai Lanzhu clenched her little fists and said angrily: "The eldest concubine dragged him to Qinghe together, probably because she was afraid that he would stay here and listen to you and deal with Huang Taiji." ”
He thought it was a little funny, what a careful woman, trying to tripped up his son and clear the way for his opponent to ascend the throne. If Huang Taiji wants to recognize her as a mother, he is a little sorry for her.
Yanguli's residence was not far from the palace, and Aobai asked, "How is Yanguli?" Did Duoduo come back? ”
The phoenix sighed: "When he came back, he said that Yanguli swore that he had not read the letter of the Khan King, and he had not told anyone, and that he had gone to see Huang Taiji to discuss the use of troops against Korea. In the future, after the death of the Khan, Yanguli will publish the contents of the letter in accordance with the Khan's orders. ”
Ao Bai laughed three times in his heart. Yanguli gave a perfunctory message to Duoduo in a few words, and when he read about the burial of the eldest concubine, he really didn't know what kind of expression Duoduo would have. Ginger is still old and spicy. Huang Taiji's side is full of sinister old guys, but his side is all child soldiers, so it's not surprising that he lost.
Seeing that his expression changed and changed, the phoenix asked, "You don't believe in Yanguli?" ”
Ao Bai shook his head, sat down in his chair, and said listlessly: "Of course I don't believe it." I've already said what I need to say, and if they don't want to do it, I don't care. After I was demoted to a commoner by Huang Taiji, let's go out on an outing together. ”
Hai Lanzhu helped him rub his shoulders and said softly, "Dolgon didn't listen to your advice, are you angry?" ”
Ao Bai said lightly: "It's useless to be angry, just don't do it, there must be something unlucky to happen." When the time comes, let's persuade him together. ”
Hai Lanzhu smiled and said, "It's okay if you're fine." No matter what happens, as long as you work together, there is nothing you can't overcome. ”
The two wives didn't care if Dorgon could be the Khan King or not, they just wanted me to be happy. That way, I have nothing to worry about. his Emperor Tai Chi! Ao Bai smiled and proposed: "I'm in such a bad mood today, why don't you accompany me and comfort me." ”
Phoenix smiled: "No, I've been riding a horse for a few days, I'm too tired." Let Gege accompany you. ”
Alas, it still doesn't work...... Lord Ao sighed.
It's another night of affection, gentleness and sweetness. Ao Bai wanted to sleep lazily, but was woken up early in the morning, and the next person reported that the king of Khan had died on the way back to Shenyang.
Nurhachi was very sick, but his brain was not confused, and he summoned Abahai and Daishan for nearly a month without believing it, knowing that something must be wrong. He insisted on returning to Shenyang because he wanted to take care of the future before he died. In the middle of the summer weather, the carriage was bumpy and hot, and he couldn't hold on, so he arranged a boat to go down the Taizi River to Shenyang. It's a pity that he still couldn't make it back to the palace, and he didn't know if it was a natural death or a poisonous hand under the guards around him.
Dolgon and Abahai had not gone far when they met the messenger and hurried back to the city. Daishan was also released by his two sons, and with his brothers, he knelt on the bank of the Hunhe River to greet Nurhachi's body.
Huang Taiji howled and cried, grief-stricken, crying silently, and the pain was unparalleled. I don't know if I'm really sad, or if I know that I'm about to succeed to the throne, I cry with joy.
The body of the Khan King was placed, and the four major Beylers of Huang Taiji, Amin, Mang Gurtai, and Daishan gathered, as well as many members of the royal family, to discuss the issue of Khan's succession in the palace.
Huang Taiji pretended to be and said: "Father Khan went suddenly, no one is by his side, the Jin Kingdom can't be left without an owner for a day, and it should be inherited by the eldest brother, do you have any opinions?"
Dai Shan's face was expressionless, as if he hadn't heard Huang Taiji's words. He already knew that there was a follow-up, and he didn't even bother to answer.
Sure enough, Amba Lingwu took out a book, knelt on the ground, and said, "Brothers, the Great Khan has left an edict before his death, just in case, if he can't make it back to the city, let the servants take it out and read it." ”
Mang Gurtai stepped forward to help him up, and said loudly: "Since Father Khan has left an edict, you should read it in front of everyone, and we will act in accordance with the edict, and we will never have two hearts." ”
Except for a few people in the know such as Ao Bai, everyone else held their breath and quietly looked at An Ba Lingwu.
Amba Lingwu took a few deep breaths and read out the "edict" loudly: "After my death, it will be passed on to the four Baylor Emperor Taiji, the three Baylor will be auxiliary to the government together, and the eldest concubine Abahai, the side concubine Deinze, and Jin Tai will be martyred. ”
After Amba Lingwu finished reading, there was a commotion in the hall. Azig jumped up and shouted, "This edict is fake! How could Father Khan say that? It is impossible for him to let E-Niang be buried. ”
Amba Lingwu frowned, picked up the edict, showed it to everyone, and sighed: "Twelfth elder brother, this is really what King Khan ordered me to write before he died, I am just a guard, how dare I fake this kind of thing?" ”
The Ten Elder Gorgos stood up again and said, "If this edict is true, can anyone testify to it?" How do we know that you are not being bought by someone with ulterior motives? Yesterday there were some rumors in the city that the king of Khan had urgently summoned the concubine and the great bailer to meet in Qinghe a month ago. The news arrived yesterday. What's going on, can you explain? ”
Amba Lingwu knelt on the ground and cried: "When I wrote it, the guard Brukan was also there, and he can testify that this is really the last words of the Khan King, and I dare not fake it if I have the guts." ”
At stake in his mother's life, Azig cried out, "After all, how can you serve the crowd if only you two guards are present?" ”
At this point, Dodor looked at Yanguli, who gestured to him, meaning to make Dodor speak. These small actions all fell in the eyes of Aobai.
Duoduo trusted Yanguli very much, stood up, and said loudly: "King Khan came to me before he went to Qinghe, and told me that he had left a testament to Yangultutong, and I believe that the letter is true!" ”
Originally, the concubine was still saved, but now the coffin is going to be closed! Ao Bai looked at Huang Taiji, only to see him squinting his eyes, the old god was there, with a villain's proud face, how could he still be a little sad. Looking at Dolgon, who didn't say a word after coming back, clenched his fists, as if he wanted to rush up and dig out Huang Taiji's heart at any time.
Amin said, "Since the Great Khan has left an edict with Yanguli, let's take it out and recite it." ”
Yanguli stood up, took out a letter from his bosom, and said: "The Great Khan trusted me, and left this letter with me a long time ago, and ordered me to read it after his death, for the sake of today's situation." I can swear to heaven that I have never read this letter in my hand, nor have I opened it, and if it is false, I will be called five thunderbolts, and I will die without a place to be buried. ”
Duoduo looked at Yanguli with a smile on his face.
Swearing doesn't prove anything. The letter in your hand is a forgery, Huang Taiji just gave it to you, haven't you seen anything strange? Besides, even if you really swear, can a thunderbolt fall from the sky and chop you to death? Ao Bai has only seen people who have crossed because of making a wish, and he has never seen anyone who died because of his oath.
Yanguli walked to the middle of the hall with the letter, slowly opened the envelope, and read word by word: "Lichang, should be established to be good, but for the future of the Jin country, Ben Khan is determined to be virtuous." After my death, it was passed on to the four Baylor Emperor Taiji, the three Baylor were auxiliary together, and the eldest concubine Abahai, the side concubine Deinze, and Jin Tai were martyred. ”
The content of this edict is almost exactly the same as that of Amba Lingwu!
Duoduo's eyes were red, and he shouted, "Yanguli...... You...... How dare you lie to me?! ”
Yanguli looked at Duoduo, shook his head, and sighed, "What do you say about the fifteenth elder brother?" That's what the edict says, this letter has been with me for a few years, and I swore just now, how can I lie to you? ”
Everyone looked at Yanguli and couldn't speak, one edict may be fake, and now there are two letters, can it still be said to be fake?
