In August of the seventh year of Chongde, after the memorial of Nurhachi, Huang Taiji sent Abatai, Azig and other generals to lead the two wings of the army from Jielingkou and Huangyankou respectively to Yanzhou, Shandong.

The Qing army totaled three prefectures, 18 prefectures, and 67 counties, defeated 39 enemies, captured 2,250 taels of gold and 2,250,270 taels of platinum, and captured 369,000 people and cattle, horses, and cattle of the Ming Dynasty.

In those months, Dolgon was far away in Hetuara training, and this easy victory had nothing to do with him.

On the day of the first snow in Hetuala, Duoduo came from Shengjing City with the good news of Abatai and others, broke into the military camp, and saw that his brother was naked and naked and the soldiers were picking wooden stakes to exercise their physique, and Duoduo stood on the side and watched for a long time, and Dolgon found out that he had arrived.

"How many strokes are you?" Dorgon asked.

Duoduo stepped forward, carried the stake with natural strength, threw it a few zhang away, turned to glared at his brother and said, "Huang Taiji called me to take you back to Shengjing." ”

"What are you going to do back?"

"Abatai and Brother Azig have won the battle, and the emperor wants to hold a banquet to celebrate." Duoduo said, "There is also the fifth Dalai Lama of Tibet, Lobzang Gyalco, who sent Yilaguk Sanhu Tuketu and Erut Mongolian Daiqing Erji to show goodwill to my Daqing, and in a few days there will be some great Dharma affairs, for the sake of Huang Ama or something, anyway, Huang Taiji said, you can't be absent." ”

"Got it." Dolgon put on his clothes, turned back and told the soldiers to practice two more rounds before they could rest, and he took Dorgon himself into the barracks.

Duoduo followed impatiently and said angrily: "What's the matter with you, this time in Shandong, Haoge pretended to be sick at home, and refused to leave Shengjing City, don't you want to think about why?" Only you are hiding far away, have you given up, brother, have you given up? ”

"I'm just here to train the troops." Dolgon returned to the barracks, wiped his body with a towel, wiped his skin red and hot, and then put on his clothes seriously, and said, "How far can Hetuara be from Shengjing?" This is the birthplace of my Qing Dynasty, and I am no different here than in Shengjing. ”

"But if Huang Taiji dies suddenly, and Haoge takes the throne, well, ......," Duoduo said, "Take 10,000 steps back, your beloved Bumu Butai, if she thinks that you are not in Shengjing, but fall into the hands of Haoge, and are abused and killed by her, are you willing, are you willing?" ”

Dolgon's eyes were like blades, and he looked straight at Duoduo: "Don't talk nonsense, Huang Taiji is still tough." ”

Duoduo shook his head: "I'm afraid what I said is less than one-tenth of Hauge's tyranny, what kind of virtue is Hauge's beast, do you want me to tell you?" As for Huang Taiji, he has become weak now, how long has it been since he heard him speak loudly? Brother, Huang Taiji's qi is exhausted, he is really at the end. ”

How ridiculous, I heard my younger brother say that the emperor's anger is exhausted, and in the end, Dolgon doesn't think about getting paid for grievances, thinking that he can seize the throne, and thinking that he can finally correct his name. It's that Yu'er should be sad, because she is worried about whether she will collapse and whether Huang Taiji will "take Yu'er away".

"Dolgon, I'll make it clear to you." Duoduo said coldly, "As soon as Huang Taiji dies, if you don't become the emperor, I will immediately rebel, whether it is Haoge or Fulin, or some other little beast, I can't tolerate any of them." ”

Dolgon ordered him to whisper: "What are you impatient, aren't you afraid that Huang Taiji has eyeliner here?" ”

Duoduo laughed: "He is now a god and Buddha all day long, and he is no longer the emperor Taiji of the past." ”

A few days later, Dolgon and Duoduo returned to Shengjing, just in time for the emperor to do the great rituals for the first emperor, he stood at the bottom of the stairs from afar, looking at the emperor, although he was still tall, but he had lost too much weight, you know, once in Dolgon's eyes, his fourth brother was also as powerful as a god.

"Dolgon." When Huang Taiji saw him, he asked him to go up.

Dolgon received the order, slowly walked up the steps, and greeted the big jade who had led the blessing from the side.

"Uncle Fourteen." Fu Lin came running happily, bowed first, and then shouted, "Uncle Fourteen, my sister has sent me a foal from Horqin, do you want to see it?" Uncle Fourteen, where have you been, I haven't ...... for a few days"

"Blessing." Huang Taiji spoke up and called his son to his side, "Be quiet, you can't be unruly, otherwise your mother will punish you when you go back." ”

Fu Lin timidly turned to look at his mother, Da Yu'er really had a straight face, Fu Lin quickly turned around, grabbed his father's hand, and whispered, "Amma, I'm good, I won't make any noise." ”

Huang Taiji touched his head and walked forward with Fulin and Dolgon, Da Yu'er consciously retreated, but saw a figure chasing after him, Hauge pushed his youngest son forward: "Amma, this child has to follow you." ”

Huang Taiji glanced at him, then asked his grandson to step forward, took Fulin in one hand, and his grandson in the other, and took Hauge and Dolgon into the palace together.

Da Yu'er looked back, and saw the officials under the rank whispering, and the situation that seemed to be clear was suddenly confused again.

Her gaze slowly swept over everyone's faces, and in the expressions of each face, they were calculating the emperor's death, and they were all looking forward to Huang Taiji's death.

The people who dedicated their lives to the Qing Dynasty and the Manchus, in the end, only ended up in such a bleak evening scene, and under the imperial throne of the Ninety-Five, they were actually empty and had nothing.

After the Dharma of this day, Huang Taiji returned to the palace and had dinner with Zhe Zhe Yuer and others, talking and laughing during the banquet, looking as if returning to the old days, but after nightfall, he still stayed alone in the Guan Ju Palace.

Da Yu'er came to deliver medicine to him, watched him drink it in one gulp, and when he turned around to get the tea, he heard Huang Taiji say leisurely: "When I was doing things for the first emperor today, I was thinking, after a hundred years, I don't always do these things that cost the people and money." I have built tombs for the first emperor again and again, but I just want to correct my own throne, and the unscrupulous means of the khanate of the year are destined to spend a lifetime of unease. ”

"What do you mean by unscrupulousness?" Da Yu'er was indifferent, "There is only success and defeat, only winning or losing, I, Concubine Zhuang, can do it with peace of mind." ”

Huang Taiji sneered: "If you coax people, you are more sophisticated than in the past, and no one can argue with your mouth." ”

Da Yu'er said disdainfully: "Then I don't bother to coax others." ”

"These days, you are by my side day and night, everything goes with me, and you no longer have trouble with me." Huang Taiji suddenly said, "Yu'er, do you feel like them, that my limit is approaching?" ”

Da Yu'er couldn't imagine that one day after Huang Taiji left her, she would become like this, but her sister's death really took away all the pride and courage of this man, made him indifferent and peaceful, and allowed him to talk about life and death so calmly.

"There is nothing to do, but I just feel that life has reached a certain level." Da Yu'er said with a smile, "Listening to Sanskrit today, I feel that my body is light and fluttering, I have experienced too many things in this life, and I have looked down on all the red dust." ”

Huang Taiji lay down and said lazily: "Yes, I have seen more and more through these days, the left and right of the Qing Dynasty are defeated, is it really important who will inherit it in the future?" At least in this life, I am worthy of the ancestors of heaven and earth, and worthy of the soldiers and the people. ”

"Isn't it, what do you want him to do in the future?"

"But I still hope that everything I can leave behind will be given to you and blessings."

The hall was quiet for a while, and only the sound of the autumn wind blowing the curtain outside the door could be heard, and after a long time, Da Yu'er said: "Even if I will stand on a high place in the future, overlooking the Qing Dynasty and mountains, I am just to take a look for you." Not for myself, not for my blessings, not for anyone. ”

Huang Taiji looked at Yu'er: "But I, I am so responsible for you." ”

Da Yu'er shook her head with a smile and covered the quilt for Huang Taiji: "It's not that you bear me, it's that I fell in love bravely and recklessly, but I didn't have the luck of my sister, I met the right person, fell in love with the right person." But even so, I don't regret it, I haven't hindered anyone in my life, I'm more open than you and my sister, and no one wants to point fingers at me. ”

Huang Taiji squeezed Da Yu'er's hand and trembled slightly, but Yu'er pushed him away and said with a smile: "Don't be too self-righteous Your Majesty, it's not that you have failed me, it's that I don't want you anymore." ”

He opened his arms, Da Yu'er was stunned for a moment, but still leaned down, through his chest, she could hear a smooth and powerful heartbeat, which was her favorite voice to listen to, she liked him to live strong and healthy.

But the years will not stop, life has been passing, sooner or later, there will be that day.

The only thing Da Yu'er didn't expect was that she would become so indifferent and free in the face of all this.

Where did her tears go?
