Chapter 275 The Unique Eye, Shaman
Hearing the yelling of the maid outside the house, Dorgon's face was displeased and he frowned.

Without waiting for Dorgon to speak, Fan Wencheng stood up and said, "Prince Regent, there are many things to do in fighting the plague. I will go and discuss ideas with relevant officials. I am leaving!"

"Then thank you, Mr. Fan!" Dorgon personally sent Fan Wencheng to the yard, watched his back turn around the screen wall, and then hurriedly walked to the backyard.

Dorgon is only in his 30s, not too old.But over the years, he had married six Fujins, and only Li Fujin, who was married to the Korean clan, gave birth to a daughter, and the mansion was not very populated.

Dorgon also had a son, but he was adopted by Duo Duo's fifth son, named Dorbo.

Because he still had the hope of having children, Dorgon didn't care much about Dorbo.As for his only biological flesh and blood, he dotes on him very much and regards him as the apple of his eye.

When I came to my daughter's bedroom, I saw the servants rushing in and out, in a mess.Li Fujin had already arrived, sitting by the bed and weeping.

"What's wrong with Dong'e?" Dorgon walked to the bed and asked.

The woman lying on the bed is Ai Dong'e, whose real name is Aixinjueluo Dong'e.

There was a hot towel on her eyes, and when she heard her father's voice, she tore off the towel and said, "Ama, my eyes hurt, it hurts so much, it seems like a needle prick..."

Dorgon stared at his daughter's eyes carefully, but couldn't see anything unusual, and his brows frowned even tighter.

"Could it be pimple plague?" Li Fujin said in fear, then turned his head and shouted, "Why hasn't the imperial doctor come yet? Hurry again!"

"Don't talk nonsense, what kind of pimple plague is something that can't be solved at all." Dorgon reprimanded Li Fujin angrily, and made up his mind, "The shaman said that Dong'e's eyes are unusual, and the imperial doctor will not help , let’s go find the shaman.”

Li Fujin said: "Then I will send someone to invite the shaman..."

Dorgon waved his hands, interrupted Li Fujin roughly, and while hugging Dong'e, he shouted: "Prepare the carriage, my king is going to Xihuang Temple."

He got into the carriage, surrounded by teams of guards, and rushed to Xihuang Temple.

Along the way, Dong'e was lying in Dorgon's arms, looking at the street through the car window, shouting endlessly, as if he was frightened.

Dorgon lowered the curtain and asked, "What did you see?"

"Ghosts, the streets are full of ghosts. They died very painfully, so they have deep resentment..." Dong'e trembled.

Dorgon lowered his face and said nothing.He didn't believe that there were ghosts in the world, but the scene in the capital was indeed horrifying, the streets were full of corpses, and the people in the city seemed to be dead.

Since the outbreak of the plague, the prevention and control measures taken by the Manchu and Qing courts could not be compared with those of the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, the capital city was empty and the corpses were everywhere, which was far worse than that of Nanjing.

In the later period, the Manchu and Qing courts could not come up with any way to fight the plague except for eradicating rats and isolating patients.

Some aristocrats who had expired even got together, represented by Duoduo, and jointly named Shangshu, and even proposed to abandon the capital, quit Shanhaiguan, and return to their hometown.

Angrily, Dorgon found Duoduo, and he whipped him more than ten times to relieve his anger, and used strong methods to suppress the escape arguments of the nobles.

……

Xihuang Temple is outside the Anding Gate of the capital city. After the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, in order to harmonize the relationship with Tibet, many temples were built in the capital city and Chengde for the lamas who came to Beijing from Tibet to live.

Shamanism is the primitive belief of the Tartars outside the customs, and the leader of the shamanism has been respected by the nobles of the Qing Dynasty for generations.The shamans of this generation were deeply respected by the Empress Dowager, and they also entered the customs with the army and lived in the Xihuang Temple. However, they entered and exited the forbidden area of ​​the palace eight out of ten days.

Because the shaman was close to the empress dowager and the little emperor, Dorgon maintained respect on the surface, but was very repulsive and alienated in his heart.

But Dong'e had a problem with his eyes, but he had to ask the shaman for help.It turned out that when Dong'e was born, her eyes were dull and she couldn't see anything. People said she was born blind.Later, the shaman practiced and chanted mantras, which actually made Dong'e's eyes brighten.

The shaman has always said that Dong'e's eyes are a fetish bestowed by the ancestor gods to the Qing Dynasty, and the national fortune of the Qing Dynasty is closely related to Dong'e's eyes!
The Xihuang Temple is covered with yellow glazed tiles, with red walls and pines, towering pagodas, and extraordinary momentum.

The shaman took Dong'e into a secret room and closed the door.This secret room is the place where the shaman communicates with the ancestor gods, and the emperor can't break in without authorization, so Dorgon had to wait patiently outside.

It was dark in the secret room, and the appearance of the shaman could not be seen clearly.Only an old voice said: "Dong'e, did you see anything before your eyes hurt?"

Dong E sat cross-legged on the futon, smelling a complex smell in his nose.This kind of smell can only be found in the deep mountains and old forests outside the pass. It is corrupt and dull, and even faintly smells of blood.

"I don't know, my eyes suddenly hurt without any warning." Dongguo's voice was like an oriole, very pleasant, "But on the way to see you, I saw many ghost figures, densely packed and bustling. This The world seems to be hell."

"Ghost?" The shaman stopped talking.

The fire folder was lit, and the shaman stood in front of Dong'e, rolled her eyelids, and carefully observed her pupils.Suddenly, with a sigh, the fire was extinguished, and the secret room fell into dead silence again.

Dong'e felt like he was in a tomb, and he was a little scared: "Shaman, can my eyes be cured? Let me go out if you can't."

"do not move!"

Only the shaman called out, and there was light again in the secret room.I don't know what the shaman is holding in his hand, burning with wisps of green smoke.

Dong'e's eyes were smoked by the blue smoke, and he blinked, crying uncontrollably, but the pain gradually eased until it disappeared.

"Okay!" the shaman said.

The two walked out of the secret room, and Dong'e grabbed Dorgon's arm and said with a smile, "Ama, my eyes are healed, they don't hurt anymore!"

"That's good, thank you Shaman." Dorgon said.

The shaman said gloomyly: "Ge Ge, you can relax in the temple, I have something to say to the regent."

When Dong'e walked away happily, Dorgon asked, "Why, is there something wrong with Dong'e's eyes?"

"There's a big problem!" the shaman said.

"Ah, are you going to go blind?" Dorgon's heart skipped a beat as he thought of the situation when his daughter was born.If his precious daughter is blind, he will be heartbroken.

"Gege's eyes will not be blind, but her pupils are changing, and the double pupils are showing signs of disappearing."

"Double pupil disappears, Dong'e's eyes are just like normal people, it's not so weird anymore, it's a good thing!" Dorgon said with a smile.

The shaman said solemnly: "Prince Regent, I once said that Ge Ge is a strange person from heaven. Her eyes were bestowed by the ancestor gods. She can see things that ordinary people cannot see, and she can communicate with the souls of all things. It represents my Qing Dynasty. Luck. The disappearance of the double pupil means that the luck of the Qing Dynasty is also declining a little bit!"

"Impossible, it's alarmist, how can my Qing Dynasty's luck be borne by a weak woman in Dong'e? The Qing Dynasty's luck will last forever and never decline!" Dorgon didn't think so, and walked away.

The shaman let out a long sigh, as if in a remote mountain forest, there was a long and distant echo from thousands of years ago.
