Ashes

"I have good news and bad news, which one do you want to hear first?" Dorgon sat on the kang with him.

The relaxed and joking tone made Huang Taiji's brows slightly stretched: "Then let's hear the bad news first, I like whether it's Tailai or not."

"I just came back from Sahalian, and he's getting sicker and sicker."

Huang Taiji was dejected, and his worry was beyond words: "It's too bad, I have to go and see him, if he really can't afford this illness..."

"I found a doctor for him. I hope it will be useful. It is the one that Duoduo brought from Jinzhou. As you know, our own doctor can treat trauma, but the others are not far behind."

"Is this the good news you brought me?"

"Barely one."

"So there are other good news?" Huang Taiji asked expectantly.

"Saharian asked the Ministry of Rites to draw up a memorial to change his honorary title and change his name to be emperor. You have been putting on a show for a while, and people fiddled with that jade seal. It's not in vain. He understands what you mean."

Huang Taiji couldn't laugh or cry, leaned his body in front of Dorgon, lowered his voice and said: "I can pretend that I didn't hear the second half of the sentence."

Dorgon also moved closer, and said in a low voice, "But I just said it."

"I really want to bite you to death."

"You will get your wish soon, are you happy?"

"Thanks to you."

"of course."

Huang Taiji could not stop laughing: "You really are not humble at all."

"I will always remind you of my achievements and let you know my importance."

Huang Taiji smiled slightly, and then said seriously: "Whether it is to me, Huang Taiji, or to Dajin, you, Dorgon, are irreplaceably important."

Dorgon proudly.Yes, Dorgon is unique and irreplaceable.

"Aren't you angry?" Dorgon asked.

"What are you angry about?"

"Big Baylor."

When mentioning Daishan, Huang Taiji's face darkened again: "He is really outrageous!"

"How do you plan to punish him?"

Huang Taiji hesitated for a moment: "What do you think?"

"According to me, Big Baylor is getting old, and if you punish him severely, his old face will not be spared. It's better to punish him lightly and remind him to pay attention next time, so forget it."

Huang Taiji looked at him slightly in surprise: "You actually advised me to take it lightly? I thought you would make trouble."

"Didn't you teach me? The descendants of Dabaile have made great contributions to my Dajin, and it is not appropriate to touch the root."

Huang Taiji rubbed his chin: "You are so obedient? I don't believe it, what the hell are you planning?"

"As long as you have a lot of thoughts, I just want to sell Daishan's favor, can't you?" Dorgon said bluntly, and he didn't think there was anything to hide from Huang Taiji.

"I originally wanted to use this opportunity to give him a bad start, but since you said so, then I'll let him go." Huang Taiji said generously, "Then just fine this time."

"You're getting really fast."

"As long as it's your request, what can I not satisfy?" Huang Taiji said flatteringly.

"Then I'll let someone draft it according to your wishes."

Huang Taiji nodded, as if he had discovered something interesting, he stared straight at Dorgon.

Dorgon looked at him with tremors in his heart: "What are you thinking?"

Huang Taiji squeezed to Dorgon's side: "I was thinking, if you sell Daishan a favor, then I will sell you a favor too, do you have to do something?"

"It seems that you have suffered a lot."

Huang Taiji kissed the corner of his mouth with a smile: "It's not a disadvantage, I'm the one who took advantage."

Gentle kisses fell down carefully, as if his lips had been smeared with sweet honey, and he was savoring it wholeheartedly.Huang Taiji didn't think it was enough, grabbed his shoulders, completely covered his lips, and inserted into his mouth.

Dorgon stepped back, but did not dodge. His gentle breath lingered in his ears, making people intoxicated.Suddenly, Dorgon stuck out his tongue, and licked the tip of Huang Taiji's tongue like a dragonfly touching water.

It was obvious that Huang Taiji's body froze, probably because he didn't expect Dorgon to tease him on his own initiative.But it was only a moment of hesitation, and after being encouraged, the next moment Huang Taiji became even more unscrupulous, bullying him and biting his lips.

Huang Taiji didn't let him go until he couldn't keep up with the rhythm of his breathing.

Dorgon panted, slightly raised his head and looked up.

Huang Taiji suddenly remembered something, and said solemnly: "Accompany me to visit Sahalian tomorrow."

Dorgon was startled, bared his teeth and said, "Your thinking speed is really strange."

Huang Taiji laughed, and kissed him again.

The Ministry of Officials counted a number of crimes against Dai Shanli, from not going with Huang Taiji to greet the triumphant army, to going out to hunt privately when he was staying in Shengjing, all kinds of disrespectful actions, scolded Daishan, the big beile, bloody But in the end he was only fined 5000 taels of silver, which can be described as more thunder than rain.

Everyone knew it well and did not dare to make mistakes. There were no more four great belors, but only a noble Khan, a big belor in name only, and two people from deposed clans.

Only the strong have the right to sit and look down on others.

The surrendered Mongol Fujin also made arrangements, and Huang Taiji still fulfilled Daishan's wish, letting him marry Taisonggege, and marrying Nangnang Queen Mother Namuzhong himself.

Sakhalian went to court with illness, and handed over a memorial to Huang Taiji, persuading Huang Taiji to take the honorary title, that is, the throne of emperor.

At first, Huang Taiji still declined on the grounds that the great cause had not been achieved, but Sahalian wrote repeatedly, saying that the ministers of Baylor would take an oath to testify, fulfill their duties, loyally assist the country, and asked Huang Taiji to be called emperor.Huang Taiji readily agreed.

Under the auspices of Sahalian, everyone burned incense and bowed down, vowing to support Huang Taiji.

I don't know if that intimidation frightened Daishan. Huang Taiji originally thought that he was old and avoided the ceremony of prostration and oath, but Daishan was terrified, thinking that Huang Taiji was taking the opportunity to cut power, so he knelt down to Huang Taiji In front of him, he said that no matter how polite he is, his allegiance to the Great Khan is out of sincerity, and he must lead Zhubeile to express his loyalty.

Dorgon followed Andari to the southwest tower. He nodded at Andari, indicating that he didn't need to accompany him, and then went up the stairs.

The blue sky is like a wash, which makes people feel high and bright. Occasionally, a white cloud floats by. Although it is winter, the sun is full of warmth.

Dorgon walked up the last step and saw Huang Taiji standing and watching from a distance.

Hearing the sound of Dorgon's approaching footsteps, he didn't turn his head, and was still staring into the distance.In the far southwest, the sky and the earth are on the line.

"What did you see?" Dorgon stood beside him, following his line of sight.

"Seeing the past and the future."

Dorgon's eyes shifted to Huang Taiji's face, his face was shining brightly under the light, as if he was the sun shining all over the earth.

"When I was still in my teens, I really never thought that such a day would come." Huang Taiji's tone was not as steady as before, "At that time, I only wanted to express myself in front of Ama and find a good future. .In the end, I felt that those brothers were nothing more than that, they were far behind me, and it was not impossible for me to succeed Khan, so I worked so hard."

It was rare for him to be so emotional, Dorgon listened quietly, not easily interjecting.

"When I first became a profuse sweater, I still felt that the Ming Dynasty was very powerful. I had great ambitions, but I didn't know when and when I would be able to conquer it. Now it seems that they are at the end of their strength, and their time is numbered."

"Yes, time is running out." Dorgon also sighed.

Huang Taiji smiled lightly: "Dorgon, do you know what I like about you?"

Dorgon raised his eyes to meet his gaze.

"I like that you are ambitious. It's hard for me to imagine that when you were so young, you dared to stand in front of me and say that you want to sweat profusely." Huang Taiji smiled, "I was not angry at all when I heard that, On the contrary, I sigh, I really have my own successors. You are better than me. When I was your age, I didn't know what I was thinking, but you have a clear goal, and you will definitely be better than me in the future. "

Dorgon was ashamed. When he was a teenager in his previous life, he didn't know what he was thinking.

"Dorgon, I want to change my country name, what do you think?"

Dorgon was not surprised: "You have already thought about it, come and ask me."

Huang Taiji smiled and said: "You still know me well, I want to hear your opinion."

"You say it."

"I think the country name 'Jin' is unlucky. According to the five elements, 'Zhu Ming' has the meaning of fire. Huo can overcome gold, so this country name is not good. I want to change the country name to 'Qing'. It is similar, and secondly, water can overcome fire, and it will definitely replace the Ming Dynasty. What do you think?"

"Not bad." Of course Dorgon said yes.

Huang Taiji was completely immersed in joy: "In addition, I also decided to name the clan as 'Manchuria'. I like the reign name 'Chongde' proposed by the Ministry of Rites. In short, it is good to have the Ming Dynasty."

Dorgon laughed out loud: "Okay, everything is good."

"Look carefully, Dorgon, the Ming Dynasty has not been around for a few years. Yuan Chonghuan is dead, Sun Chengzong has been kicked out, Chongzhen has no talent, domestic bandits are everywhere, and I am pressing every step of the way outside the customs. what?"

Dorgon put away his smile and looked at Huang Taiji with solemn eyes.

Huang Taiji raised his hand and pointed to the southwest direction: "The Zhu Ming dynasty is exhausted, and this will be my Qing Dynasty's world!"

A soft word was like thunder, and Dorgon looked into the distance, only to feel that the blood in his whole body began to rush and boil because of his words, and there seemed to be thousands of mountains and rivers in his chest for a moment.

They are all ambitious men, and they all want to hold the universe and control the world. There is nothing that attracts them more than ambition and dominance. Their hearts are connected.

"I'll give you a few titles as princes. I've already thought about your title. It's the word 'Rui'. Do you like it?" Huang Taiji withdrew his gaze from afar, landed on Dorgon, and looked at him tenderly. .

Prince He Shuorui, such a familiar title, Dorgon actually began to miss this title: "I like it."
