Ashes

In this battle, the Eight Banners Army led by Azig won a complete victory and returned triumphantly. Dorgon's troops also returned to the court on the second day of October.

One day when the weather was fine, Dorgon rode his horse galloping on the plain, driving a hare. Haidongqing let out a long cry in the sky, and suddenly swooped down, like an arrow flying from the string, towards the rabbit.In the short moment when it was close to the ground, it grabbed the rabbit and rushed towards the sky in a diagonal stab.

Dorgon whistled, and Hai Dongqing made a half-circle, flew low slowly, and landed on his arm.He picked up the rabbit and threw it to his followers. With a wave of his arms, Hai Dongqing once again rushed into the blue sky.

Huang Taiji stood under the tree and watched from afar, with a smile on his lips.

"How do you feel?" When Dorgon approached, Huang Taiji went up to meet him.

"It's not bad." Dorgon pretended to be indifferent.

"Not bad? So what does it take to be good?"

"Don't you think that a bird can get away with it?"

Huang Taiji was at a loss for words, but seeing that he no longer ignored his words like before, it showed that there was still a chance: "You like it, right? This sea dongqing is rare, and it took me a lot of work to get it "

Dorgon looked up at the pure white Haidongqing flying in the sky, and met Huang Taiji's gaze: "Many times I feel that I will never be better than Jierhalang in your heart."

Huang Taiji was not surprised that he would say this, and he did not refute it, and wanted to continue to listen to what he wanted to say.

"You are never worried that he will betray you, you are not afraid that he will do things that are not good for you, and you will not deliberately speculate on his mind and intentions in everything he does. Your trust in him is better than anyone else's." On. And I'm different, you don't trust me at all. "

Huang Taiji smiled slightly: "I can understand that you are jealous?"

Dorgon said with a cold face, "What is there in him that I should envy?"

"If Jierhalang heard your evaluation of him, I'm afraid he would wake up with a smile in his dream." Huang Taiji took a step forward, "I don't speculate on him, just because I don't have the time to spare, but you are different, I really want to I don't know what you are thinking all the time, so that I can be closer to your heart, isn't it?"

"You don't need to use this kind of confusing words to fool me. I can also say sweet words."

"You will too? How come I never heard you say it, who did you tell it to?"

"I'm telling you serious, what nonsense?"

"Okay, to be serious, I'm not fooling you. This is my truth. In my heart, your position is irreplaceable. I want to get into your heart."

The numb words made Dorgon's heart itch, and his eyes softened when he looked at Huang Taiji.

Aware of this subtle change, Huang Taiji opened his arms and tried to hug him, but he pushed him away: "Someone is watching, what are you doing?"

"Who dares to look? Gouging out his eyes!"

"Pay attention to your image!"

Huang Taiji smiled lightly, not daring to be too mischievous in broad daylight. He held Dorgon's hand and vowed: "I, Huang Taiji, swear here that the person I love the most is Dorgon, and there is no one else." , I would do anything for you."

Dorgon didn't seem to get used to his words, and looked away unnaturally.

Huang Taiji whispered: "I dare to tell you anything, do you dare?"

These words obviously meant something, Dorgon was startled, and became vigilant.What does he want to hear from himself?

There is only one thing that I can't forget in my heart, but I haven't mentioned it to him, and that is the throne.Although he once threatened to sweat profusely, that happened many years ago, and probably in the eyes of Huang Taiji, he became a boy's ravings.

But can you talk to Huang Taiji about this?Although Shunzhi has not yet been born, there is still Hauge.Hauge also went to Jinzhou for a tour, and Huang Taiji wanted to restore his title, but the time was too short to give up.

In fact, I can't trust him completely.

Huang Taiji didn't care about his silence, and said with a flattering smile: "Come back to the palace with me tonight."

Dorgon gave him a sideways look.

Huang Taiji continued to smile: "I will send someone to pick you up later."

Dorgon thought that one day he would be able to hold his head high and say: I will be the emperor, and I have never slacked off for so many years.

After letting go of the eagle and chasing the rabbit, Dorgon went to find Duo Duo.

Dorgon walked in without anyone notifying him, and he heard laughter and music in the house while he was still in the yard.Dorgon frowned, quickened his pace, pushed open the door, and saw a group of men and women with heavy makeup and fancy clothes inside, drinking and having fun around Duo Duo, singing and dancing.

What is even more exaggerated is Duduo, who is wearing a colorful opera dress, holding a beautiful woman in each of his left and right hands. The woman is leaning against him, holding a wine glass in her hand and feeding him. lol.

As soon as he looked up and saw Dorgon, Duo Duo was startled, choking and coughing.

"Brother... Cough cough... Why are you here, and you didn't say a word... Cough cough..." Doduo stroked his chest.Seeing Duo ErGun's fierce face, he hurriedly kicked the actors out.

"You are quite leisurely."

"Let's play, brother, you really are, haven't I finished all my business?"

"Business? What business do you have?" Dorgon stepped forward and pulled his clothes, "What are you wearing? It's outrageous! Do you still know that you are a prince?"

Duoduo took off his clothes and threw them aside, but his face was full of displeasure.

He has always been playful, and Huang Taiji is the one who hates people who are in love with drama and not doing business. In his previous life, Duoduo was reprimanded and demoted by Huang Taiji for this matter. This time, he must be taken care of, instead of letting Huang Taiji scold him. , it’s better to scold him yourself, there will still be places that need his help in the future, and he can’t be allowed to make the same mistake again.

"You see you are idle, and you still pretend to be like this, and you are not afraid of being laughed at when you say it?" Dorgon blamed.

Duo Duo didn't reply, poured a glass of wine and brought it to Dorgon: "Brother, have a drink and rest your breath."

Dorgon glared at him: "Sit down, I have something to tell you."

"Brother, if you scold me, you don't need to say it, I know I've overplayed it."

Dorgon calmed down a bit: "It's good that you know, sit down, I have other things."

Dodo obediently sat across from him.

Seeing Duo Duo listening attentively, Dorgon didn't know where to start, and even doubted whether he should tell him.

"Brother, if you have something to say, hurry up!" Duoduo said impatiently, seeing that he was hesitant to speak.

"Dodo, do you still remember that I told you that our three brothers are one?"

"Remember, are you here to teach me a lesson again?"

"Some things can only be done if you help me together."

Hearing Dorgon's serious tone, Duoduo couldn't help becoming serious: "Brother, what are you going to do?"

"I want to be emperor."

A few words made Duduo feel deafening. He raised his eyebrows, touched his nose, and stayed there for a long time before he said, "Brother, are you serious?"

"Is this kind of thing a joke?"

Doduo got up anxiously and walked around the room, muttering in his mouth: "I only know what it is today, and the words are not astonishing."

"Don't you think I don't have the ability?"

"Of course not!" Doduo resolutely vetoed, "I have been unhappy with him for a long time, I certainly hope that you can become emperor, you are no worse than anyone... No, you are much better than everyone... But..."

"But what?"

"But how do you do the emperor? Replace him? This is not...or wait for him...Although he values ​​you, how can he let you...then there is Hauge..." He kept turning in circles, thinking a little bit Confused, he spoke in fits and starts, half-uttering each sentence.

Dorgon saw him flustered and bewildered, and couldn't help but shook his head with a smile: "Look at your flustered look, calm down and sit down."

"I also want to calm down, but...but..." Duoduo sat down on the chair after turning around again, "You scared me to death, brother!"

"You never thought of this possibility, did you? But if I tell you, this wish has been in my heart for decades?"

Doduo swallowed hard and calmed down a bit, but his thinking was still stagnant, and he asked with a silly expression, "What should I say next?"

"You don't need to say anything." Dorgon said lightly, "I have my own arrangements for how to take every step, so you don't have to worry too much. I came today to tell you this idea buried in my heart, so that you There is a psychological preparation, and I also need your help."

"I, Dodo, will definitely accompany me until death." Dodo said, patting his chest.

"I won't kill you, as long as you behave yourself, don't do these ridiculous things for me again, and make more military exploits."

"I'm not working hard, I'm not always at the forefront of every expedition?"

In all fairness, he cared more about Doduo in this life than in the previous life, and he would accompany him and teach him whenever he had the opportunity, hoping that he would be less hostile and more wise, and become a great help to him.

"You, don't always be awkward with the emperor. Even if you have a pimple in your heart, can't you just do it on the surface? Do you have to write this on your face for everyone to see? He is the emperor after all, it's up to you to make him angry What good?"

"Come tell me this again, I'll just pay attention to it in the future."

"It's not enough to have these alone."

"What else do I need?"

"Don't worry, I will make good arrangements for your future path."

Duo Duo pouted, although he was dissatisfied with Dorgon's desire to control, but his admiration and dependence on his brother since he was a child made him ignore this dissatisfaction.

"Okay, I'm leaving." Dorgon got up and straightened his clothes, and before leaving, he glanced at the flowered clothes that Duduo threw on the ground, and the mess left by the actors leaving in a hurry, and told him again Said, "Don't play too much anymore, otherwise you will miss the opportunity and you will hurt yourself instead."

"Brother, I'll take you out!" Doduo, who was being taught a lesson again, was all smiles.

Dorgon was angry and funny, and accompanied by Duoduo, he left Prince Yu's mansion.
