Nurhachi was stunned. Looking at Aobai, he seemed to see Fei Yingdong when he was young again, the young man who had no city government and was absolutely loyal.

Fei Yingdong, did you see it in the sky? You have a successor. Although Aobai is not your own son, he is very much like you, and Dolgon is like me when I was younger. In the future, the two of them will definitely accomplish the great business we have not completed!

Nurhachi closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and said in a low voice: "Aobai, you must assist Dolgon well in the future!" Help him, protect him. ”

Ao Bai hurriedly responded: "Yes! ”

Nurhachi said a few more words and left with the guards.

Dolgon's excited teeth were fighting, and he whispered: "Aobai, have you noticed what Father Khan said, he said that you should assist me, will it be to set me up...... What does it mean? ”

Ao Bai nodded, and also lowered his voice and said, "I heard it, maybe the Great Khan wants you to be his heir." It's a secret, I won't tell it to anyone, and you don't want to reveal it, or you'll be jealous. ”

When Dolgon didn't do anything, Huang Taiji wanted him to practice the iron cloth shirt. If King Khan intends to say that he intends to pass on the throne, he is afraid that there will be more tricks waiting for him, and the royal family has no family affection, which makes people sigh.

Dolgon also seemed to know, and said, "I understand, I am too young, and I have no military merits, so I can't compare with the four great Baylors for the time being. I'm not going to say it, I really hope to grow up soon. ”

If Dorgon becomes King Khan? Is everything different? Ao Bai believes that he can influence Dorgon to a certain extent, and will not let him become a slave owner, a man who kills indiscriminately, so let's see.

Nurhachi pondered it for a while, and then took his entourage out of the palace. He went to meet a man, Huerhan, one of the five ministers of the year.

Huerhan was injured on his last expedition and has not been in good health since then, recuperating at home. I heard that the king of Han came to visit, and hurried to greet him.

"Father Khan has come suddenly, but what is the matter?" Huerhan was Nurhachi's adopted son, so he was also called his father.

Nurhachi smiled mysteriously and said, "There is indeed something I want to discuss with you, let the others retreat, let's find a clean place, don't let the third person hear." ”

Knowing that the Khan had indeed made a major decision, Huerhan entered the study with Nurhachi. and ordered the guards to guard the door, and not to let anyone in.

Huerhan is a rough man, but this study is very chic, with a large space and a quiet one. His love for the study is not because he loves to read, but to open up a peach blossom paradise and a place for himself to avoid the troubles of his wife and concubines. Nurhachi believed that no one could hear their conversation.

Seeing that King Khan's brows were slightly furrowed, as if he had something on his mind, the corners of his mouth were smiling, and he was puzzled: "What is the so-called matter of Father Khan's coming today?" ”

Nurhachi said in a low voice: "Huerhan, I want to set up another heir. ”

Hu Erhan was shocked: "What? Father Khan should think twice, you should be old and strong, and you can still be in charge. If I make a prince again, I'm worried about ......"

"Are you worried about Chu Ying's situation again?" Nurhachi said with a gloomy expression: "I haven't established a reserve for so many years, so why don't I worry about this." ”

Helhan nodded.

Chu Ying is Nurhachi's eldest son and Daishan's elder brother, who fought bravely and won the title of Baturu. Nurhachi valued him and made him his heir. However, in just one year of becoming the prince, Chu Ying's temperament changed greatly, he was blinded by power, and he became a powerful person, who did not agree with the five ministers. Later, everyone jointly sued, and Nurhachi had no choice but to seize Chu Ying's military power. He remained unrepentant and was eventually executed.

After this incident, Nurhachi originally planned not to appoint an heir, and when he was a hundred years later, he would adopt the method of being elected by everyone. But in that case, it could cause civil strife, so he had a new plan.

Nurhachi asked, "Who do you think I want to appoint, Huerhan?" ”

Hu Erhan wiped a cold sweat and said slowly: "Eighth Elder Brother is talented and intelligent, and he is very comparable. At the age of twelve, he presided over the housekeeping, handled it in an orderly manner, treated generously, won the expectations of the public, and since the war, he has repeatedly made miraculous achievements, and among the elder brothers, only the eighth elder brother is proficient in the Han family classics, and is very knowledgeable, I think the person who inherited the Khan King is none other than him. ”

Nurhachi sighed lightly: "Now in terms of talent, Huang Taiji is indeed outstanding. But in a few years, there is one man who will surely surpass him, and that is Dorgon. ”

Hu Erhan was shocked: "The fourteenth elder brother is indeed extraordinary, but he is still young, and his father Khan is ready to set him up?" ”

Nurhachi's face changed, and he snorted: "Do you think he can't do it?" Dolgon is only twelve years old this year, and he is a little younger. Even if he went into battle at the age of fourteen to lead the army, he would have to fight for at least four years, and he was less than twenty. I'm fifty-fifty in my sixties, and I'll be seventy in five years' time, and I have to think about the future. Originally, I wanted to entrust the aftermath to the five ministers, but they all left before me, and only you were the only one, so I could only say anything to you. ”

Hu Erhan secretly begged that he had to share his worries for the king of Khan, and said: "As long as my father Khan tells me, I will obey it." It's just that I don't understand, why don't you consider Brother Ba? ”

Nurhachi sneered: "Although Huang Taiji is talented, his scheming is too heavy. He was in a hurry to behave in front of me, just to make me feel that I couldn't do without him. Have you noticed that every time Mang Gurtai, Dai Shan and others have an accident in their lives, he is always the first person to stand up and say good things, it seems that he is excusing his brother, but in fact, he shows that he knows the most and compares the other party to him, and he is also the one who benefits. I can tolerate other things, but what happened to the eldest concubine and Dai Shan three years ago made me extremely disappointed. ”

Hulkhan knew exactly what the Khan was referring to. In the fifth year of the Mandate of Heaven, Nurhachi**, a concubine named Deinze, suddenly reported to Nurhachi that Daishan and the eldest concubine Abahai had an ambiguous relationship. said that Abahai himself sent food to Dai Shan and Huang Taiji two or three times, and Dai Shan accepted and ate it every time, but Huang Taiji did not eat. Nurhachi then sent men to investigate their relationship, and Abahai was deposed and only taken back a year later. This is a royal secret, I don't know why Nurhachi brought it up at this time.

Nurhachi smiled: "You must be curious why that kind of thing happened back then, and I will continue to like Dolgon and Duoduo, and take the concubine back." Because I know that there is nothing between the concubine and Dai Shan. ”

Hu Erhan was stunned and said, "This ......"

Nurhachi sighed: "The person who designed to frame Abahai and Daishan is Huang Taiji. The concubine sent delicious food to Dai Shan in order to consolidate the friendship between the two families, Dai Shan has a good relationship with many people, how many times do you eat together, what's the problem? If I want to know about their relationship, why should I send someone to find out? I asked both of them about it, and they both graciously admitted it, and wondered why I asked this, they behaved so naturally that I could conclude that they were okay. Later, I deliberately sent some people who were good friends with Huang Taiji to investigate their relationship, but I got the opposite answer. Are they old and confused? It is normal for the concubine to send something, but Huang Taiji doesn't eat it, which shows that he has a ghost in his heart. ”

Hu Erhan couldn't help but be moved, he couldn't imagine that there was such a hidden secret. Nurhachi reused Huang Taiji, and this matter must not have been mentioned to anyone else. He abolished the concubine for a year, also to protect Huang Taiji, but he was already displeased with him in his heart, Huang Taiji can be described as smart but mistaken by cleverness.

Nurhachi sighed again and said, "If Huang Taiji didn't do something, I would really consider letting him inherit the throne, but he didn't fight on the surface, but secretly he was accumulating strength. He was very close to the scholar Erdeni, and there were people who gave him advice, and he was close to his sons Yue Tuo and Shuo Tuo. Isn't this a clique? ”

Hu Erhan was stunned, not knowing what to say. Since the prestige of Huang Taiji is no longer surprisingly influenced, how can Khan King Lidolgon convince the public? The only way seems to be to live longer.

Nurhachi said, "Do you wonder how Dorgon will serve the people in the future? ”

"I really don't know," said Urhan, "that military power alone is not enough, and neither the Dorgon nor the Tudor brothers have ever been on the battlefield, so they can't make the soldiers really die for them." ”

Nurhachi laughed, "I know, in the end, it's only Dolgon's young blame. I have been good at martial arts since I was a child, and Huang Taiji is good at wit, but Dolgon is an all-rounder who is good at wit and martial arts. All he needs is time, so I need you to support him, and I need a few generals in the Eight Banners Army to support him. I am going to leave a letter to you to explain what happened to me. Keep this letter for publication when I die. ”

Nurhachi is ready to make a will. Hu Erhan felt a great responsibility and said, "Father Khan, you are in good health and will live a long life. I'm sick today, but I don't know what will happen, in case I'm ahead of you, isn't it a positori trust? ”

Nurhachi was stunned and sighed: "If you want to go before me, give this letter to Yanguli, who is a trustworthy man." ”

"I understand." Huerhan's heart was uneasy. He knew that his health was not as good as before, and that the Khan King was much older than before, and his majesty was no longer great. This is a well-known secret, the issue of inheriting the throne will be put on the table sooner or later, and he is actually inclined to Huang Taiji in his heart. It's not that he doesn't approve of Dorgon's ability, it's just that he has worked with Huang Taiji for many years and has a relationship. The Jin Kingdom was established step by step by Huang Taiji with the help of Nurhachi, and Dolgon's succession to the throne was more like the predecessors planting trees and the descendants enjoying the shade.

Nurhachi closed his eyes, suddenly sighed and said, "Huerhan, what do you think of Aobai?" ”

Of course, Hu Erhan knew that Ao Bai was young and his martial arts were amazing, and he was in the limelight for a while. He smiled and said: "The future of this son is limitless, and he will definitely be the first fierce general of my country in the future." ”

Nurhachi sighed lightly and said, "Alas, it's a pity...... It's a pity. ”

Hu Erhan was curious, I don't know what Nurhachi is sorry for, probably related to Aobai.
