Chapter 247: Secret Stratagem (Part II)
Soon it will be dawn, and everything will be known on this day.
At that moment, a faint knock came to my ears. Who's looking for me at this time? Suspicious, I tiptoed behind the door and listened, but there was no other sound outside the door. After a while, there was a rhythmic knock on the door, and the person outside the door knocked again when he saw that there was no movement in the room.
I opened the door suddenly, but I saw that Wangqing was hidden in the night, indescribably strange. She had a calm face, and when she saw me open the door, she immediately flashed in and closed the door.
We just stood face to face in the darkness, each looking at each other. At such a close distance, I realized that she was in a high state of tension.
"What's the matter with me?" In the end, it was I who broke the silence.
"The prince asked the slave to tell the princess that Prince Su set off from King Su's Mansion to Chongzheng Hall at six o'clock on weekdays, and generally did not go to the main gate but to the side door." After Wang Qing finished speaking quickly, he asked me to say goodbye, and quietly disappeared into the vast night outside.
I was stunned for a moment, but it dawned on me that Dorgon had revealed Haug's whereabouts to me so that I could arrange an assassination. He finally made up his mind!
I immediately contacted Weiwu through my mind, it was impossible for me to come forward, and he was the only one to do this. I conveyed the message from Dorgon to Mighty and told him to wait by the Suking's mansion, waiting for an opportunity to strike. While Haug must have been heavily guarded, I think this task would have been easy for Mighty since he had to kill Hauge rather than capture him alive.
Weiwu received my call and rushed to King Su's Mansion without hesitation. After Huang Taiji's death, he went to survey the terrain of Suwangfu according to my request, and it can be said that he knows everything about Suwangfu, and I don't need to worry about his actions.
Waiting is anxious, but at the moment I am waiting, I am waiting.
The east gradually revealed that the fish belly was white, I got up casually, instructed Wangqing to wash and dress for me, and then went to the main hall to ask Zhezhe for peace, and then followed Zhezhe to Guanju Palace to incense and guard the spirit of Huang Taiji. For more than an hour, I chanted Buddhist scriptures with the lamas in the Guanju Palace, and watched the shaman perform the imperial Taiji.
It happened that Princess Su was tired from kneeling, got up and went to the side hall to rest, talking to her personal maid as she walked. Even though they were whispers, they still drifted into my ears very clearly.
When I heard this, I couldn't help but be surprised! Princess Su was instructing her maid to send him mung bean and lily soup to relieve the heat after Haoge entered the palace after completing the deliberations from the Sanguan Temple. Sanguan Temple? Isn't it the Chongzheng Palace?
Judging from Princess Su's demeanor, no major events happened in King Su's Mansion, and Haoge should still be alive and attended the political meeting held in Sanguan Temple. I vaguely felt uneasy, what was wrong?
I immediately and quietly contacted Weiwu, and what Weiwu told me was even more shocking. He prepared to ambush Haoge at the side gate of King Su's mansion, but he didn't wait for Haoge to appear for a long time. He finally infiltrated the Su Wang's Mansion to find the butler, and learned through the soul dementorship that Hao Ge had set off from the main gate to attend the Sanguan Temple to attend the council meeting at four o'clock in the morning. He is now lurking outside the Sanguan Temple, ready to wait for an opportunity to assassinate Hauge.
No wonder Weiwu didn't contact me for a long time, he didn't succeed! The uneasiness in my heart intensified. Why did Hauge go out at four o'clock in the morning, and from the front entrance instead of the side door? Why is the venue of today's council meeting Sanguan Temple instead of Chongzheng Temple? As it turned out, the information I was given was wrong. Is Wangqing doing something or is it intentional on the part of Dolgon?
Just when my mind was full of thoughts, there was another news that shocked me even more: the meeting elected Dolgon or Hauge deadlocked, and Dolgon made the anger of the law go away Hauge, and then Dolgon actually elected the ninth son of the emperor to the throne. And this proposal was also supported by the majority, especially the ministers of the two yellow flags.
Dorgon actually elected this boy Fulin as emperor! I can't believe that he would make such a decision for the sake of a woman! All the hard work I've put into all these years has been in vain, and I feel like I'm being ignored. Moreover, today's events are so strange that I feel as if I have fallen into some kind of conspiracy.
