Chapter 39 (42)
Dolgon remained silent and said, "Your Majesty, this king is not betraying you. When Emperor Taizong died, Prince Li and others advocated supporting you to succeed to the throne, and there were also words in advance, if more than half of the people in the court impeached your political achievements, you should consciously abdicate and make way for Xian, and the Empress Dowager Zhuang also agreed. Now everyone says that you are not fit to sit on the throne anymore, and now you are just here to fulfill your promise to the previous emperor. The king was outside the door, and he had already heard that the edict of the first emperor was false, but the will was true. According to what you said earlier, you are loyal to the Qing royal family and do not allow the country to fall into the hands of foreign surnames, and you are finally loyal and dutiful, and this king has deep respect for this. However, if you give up the throne to me, this king is also a royal bloodline, as a descendant of the Aixinjue Luo clan, and a brother of Emperor Taizong, it is very suitable for me to succeed to the throne. Besides, even your closest concubine, Concubine Yun, is still the mastermind of this matter, and in comparison, the choice of this king is not enough. ”
Shen Shiyun sneered: "Betrayal can also be said to be so high-sounding, and it really deserves to be the regent prince." This palace finally understood today, what is said to be better than singing. If you want to talk about this bloodline, maybe you are indeed closer to the emperor, but based on what you do, you are also worthy of calling yourself Emperor Taizong's own brother?"
Dolgon said, "Concubine Yun, you don't have to spray people with blood here. What unforgivable wrong things have this king done, but you have said it in front of the emperor and asked him to judge justice?"
Shen Shiyun said: "Do you think this palace doesn't dare? This matter is almost known to everyone in the palace, and it is pitiful that he is alone in the dark." Are you really going to reveal this long-buried secret to him?"
Dolgon said: "Niangniang seems to only know how to be alarmist, and she blindly exaggerates in front of the emperor, I don't know what her intentions are?" Shen Shiyun said: "If you have a clear conscience, why don't you say it yourself?" Dolgon said: "Because this king has a clear conscience, I don't know what kind of wrong thing I have done, where to start?"
Shen Shiyun was speechless for a while, and Shunzhi became more and more irritable when he heard the two arguing, and said, "You want the jade seal, but I really didn't bring it with me." If you don't believe it, just search for it!"
Dorgon smiled faintly and said, "That's not necessary. Such an important thing, the king believes that the emperor will not carry it with him. But you are stubbornly guarding the jade seal, this thing cannot be eaten or used, and if it is put on you, it will only lead to death. We are still our own people to discuss, do we still expect the Han officials to show mercy to your men? You should know that this king will never advocate taking your life until absolutely necessary......
Shunzhi said: "That is to say, when it comes to the last resort, the imperial uncle will also choose to give me a ride?" Dolgon touched a nail, and then said: "In the past seven years, you have been on the throne, and you have always been assisted by this king, and now you will give me the throne, so that I can directly exercise all the powers, and there will be no change in the situation, what are you not worried about?"
Xuan Shuang suddenly interjected: "No wonder, I said that the great grandfather and the first emperor raised troops from Manchuria to fight against the Ming army, and every time they were able to win more with less, and gradually formed a force to capture the Central Plains." But how is it that since then, the Qing Dynasty has always been half-dead, and even a few little minions of the people can't beat it? I see, I see, it turns out that it is because of the assistant government of your old man, Uncle Taihuang. Well, if you succeed to the throne, 'nothing will change the situation', will it? Then why do you have to carry out this change of throne? You said it beautifully, and I will learn from you to say a few words. We are all thinking about the society of the Qing Dynasty, and for our dynasty to be able to dominate the world for thousands of years, not just to satisfy the ambition of private emperors. Moreover, you are just pretending to be a man, and you have caused a decline in the fortunes of our country, and the border is full of nuisances, and once you really delegate power, I am afraid that the situation will take a sharp turn for the worse. How can you reassure my Emperor Amma?"
Dolgon didn't want to pay attention to Xuanshuang's nonsense, and only continued to persuade Shunzhi: "The child is ignorant and full of nonsense, I believe that the emperor will not be bewitched by him." You still call me Uncle Huang, and I am willing to negotiate the terms with you here in a serious manner, and I have already treated you as a peer...... (Xuan Shuang said: "You claim to be on an equal footing with the monarch, and you want the emperor to thank God?") Otherwise, why should I wait for your reply? This king only needs the throne, and people should understand the principle of 'those who can be content, always happy'. ”
Shunzhi sneered: "If it weren't for the fact that you didn't know the whereabouts of the jade seal, you would still be patient and polite to me? Uncle Huang, you dare to say 'contented people are always happy'? In the past seven years, after I have been doing everything according to your opinion, and after I have just made you a 'regent of the imperial father' recently?
Dolgon said: "This throne is going to be decided by this king." But this king still has the conditions to exchange, as long as you tell the location of the jade seal, this king will calm down the chaotic parties clamoring outside for you, and give you a bad breath, how about it?" Shunzhi looked up at Dolgon and said, "I see that you people are not vegetarians. Are you still sure that you can clean up all the people who caused chaos with your own strength?"
Dolgon's face was slightly surprised, even if he tried everything to make it big, the most he could boast about was that he was evenly matched with many forces, and if he wanted to completely suppress it, he was indeed not completely sure. A civil war after a successful upheaval is the key to victory, but it is also the most troublesome and riskiest step.
made it clear that he didn't want to talk about it, so he looked at him left and right, and said, "You don't have to worry about this." What you have to do is to hand over the jade seal, and in the subsequent battle for the throne, you think that you can get it. This king knows that you are impatient to ask someone to cut the fabric, so even after ascending the throne, I have prepared the dragon robe first. As he spoke, he suddenly ripped off the official uniform draped on the outside, revealing a golden dragon robe inside, which was dazzling and shining.
Shunzhi slapped his palms and smiled, "It turns out that even the dragon robe is ready." Uncle Taihuang really has a good plan! "Dolgon is complacent, since this dragon robe has been made in a hurry, he has secretly worn it several times in the palace, and now he has finally waited for the opportunity to wear it in front of the emperor to show off, this feeling is naturally not comparable to the previous time.
Xuan Shuang's face gradually became gloomy, and said: "What does this mean? We discussed the plan before, but we didn't mention that you have this hand? I know, do you feel that the emperor has no power to fight back, this plan is only the last step, you can no longer use us, and you plan to break the contract?"
Dorgon sneered, "Yes, it's hard for you to remember that agreement. Whoever dares to stop it, I will kill whomever it is, not to mention you, if any of those people outside are not convinced, this king will definitely make him regret it!" Shunzhi sneered: "It turns out that among the chaotic party, there is still a lot of civil strife? In order to get the throne, you can sacrifice anything, and you can also betray your allies?"
Xuanshuang interjected: "Between allies, there is only betrayal in the first place. At the beginning of the alliance, it was precisely because of the same ideals and pursuits that they came together. When the goal is initially achieved, the allies will inevitably turn against each other. Because the things they pursue are too similar, they are unwilling to share the benefits they have in hand, and they will fight for the immediate benefits at all costs. Therefore they will fight to the death until the other person is no longer in the world...... Uncle Taihuang, am I right?"
Dorgon nodded approvingly, and said, "It is worthy of Ling Belle, and he really understands things! The relationship between people is to use each other, and when the value is exhausted, get rid of it immediately, so as not to be dragged down by him." In this way, you have accepted the status quo and have no complaints?" Xuan Shuang said: "Exactly. The emperor and grandson were very happy, and they no longer had to be dragged down by the emperor's uncle. ”
Shen Shiyun sneered, stood up from the table, and said: "If the regent really wants to be an enemy of this palace, I am certainly not afraid of your war book, but you should not be too confident, who wins and who loses, and who will die, it is still unknown." ”
Dolgon laughed, "I see that it is you who is too confident, not the king. What are you going to do with me to make a self-righteous bet that you must win? Just rely on that group of charlatans under your command? How many people are willing to work for you? Collusion with thieves, I am afraid that the crime will be even heavier. How do you explain your own own son, who is the deputy head of the Demon Sect? If nothing else, the letters sent to the tribes inviting war and the forged decrees, once announced, are enough to deal a fatal blow to the mother. Although there was no comment at the time, the king also said that there is a betrayal between allies at any time. If your power is strong enough to threaten the equal division after victory, I think everyone will be happy to work together to bring you down first, and then say anything else. ”
Shunzhi suddenly said: "That jade seal...... I keep it in a very secret place. No one can find it unless they are led by someone. Immediately, the three of them turned their eyes, trying to hear this very relevant sentence. Shunzhi seemed to have the intention to arouse people's appetites, and said: "Since everyone wants this jade seal, I will comply with the wishes of everyone! It's just that there is only one jade seal, and I have to ask the two of you to divide the winner first, so that I can hand over the jade seal to the winner." ”
Xuan Shuang hugged her arms, her heels quickly turned outward, her body turned like a spinning top, and in a blink of an eye, she had already diverged from Shen Shiyun for a distance, and said coldly: "It's not two, it's three." Don't get involved with that woman. The same result can have a thousand different purposes and different causes. She embraced me to succeed to the throne because she wanted me to be her puppet. And I fought for the throne to prove the value of my existence. The two are fundamentally different from each other. ”
Shunzhi said: "That's better, if one more party joins, the visibility will also increase by one point." The three of them should do their best, and the big fight is. He encouraged the three of them to fight each other, as if it were not his throne that was at stake, but something unrelated. And he is not the master of the contention, but a spectator of this farce.
Dolgon was the first to regain his composure and said, "Concubine Yun, Ling Beile, don't fall for him." I guess the emperor's purpose is to exercise counter-scheming among us, and when our respective strength is greatly damaged, we will no longer have the ability to compete with him, and he can easily clean up our group of 'anti-thieves'...... Let's work together first to make him hand over the jade seal, and then fight with force to determine the ownership, what do you two think?"
Xuan Shuang sneered: "Yo, this moment is an ally again, the wind is turning very fast?" Dolgon said lightly: "You are so smart, to be honest, this king can't bear to be your enemy." It's better for you to form an alliance with me first, and when Concubine Yun is defeated, you are still a force on the side of this king......"
Xuan Shuang sneered: "When the goal is achieved, then carry out the betrayal between allies, right? Knowing this, why bother to form an alliance again? It's like you know that there is a cliff in front of you, do you still want to jump into it without hesitation?" Dolgon was slightly displeased, and said, "Those are two different things. ”
Xuanshuang said: "Oh, that is to first walk across the single-plank bridge with great difficulty, and then turn around and resolutely jump off the abyss?" He couldn't laugh or cry when he defended him.
Shunzhi sighed and said, "Uncle Huang, in comparison, maybe I can consider agreeing to your request." But you have to answer me a question first, and the answer satisfies me before it can be considered a deal. ”
