Ashes

Nurhachi seemed in a very good mood, pointed at Dorgon and said to Sanggarzhai: "What do you think of my little Fourteen? He is smart and brave, and I like him very much."

Sanggarzhai knelt down and thanked him: "We, Horqin, will never forget the kindness of the Great Khan. I also thank the Great Khan on behalf of my daughter."

Nurhachi laughed happily.

Duoduo was still holding the mutton in his mouth. Seeing that his father had promised Fujin to his brother so suddenly, he was sad and anxious for some reason, and jumped up and said, "Father Khan, I want to marry Fujin too! I want to marry Fujin too! Brother, he No rush!"

Nurhachi was stunned, and laughed and cursed: "Nonsense! What do you mean your brother is not in a hurry? Seniors and children are orderly. It will be your turn next time. If you don't go down, it will be a joke."

Everyone at the banquet continued to laugh, and Dodo sat back in his seat angrily.

Dorgon was also embarrassed by his troubles, and thanked him: "Thank you, Father Khan, and thank you Sanggar Zabeile."

Back in his seat, Duoduo was still angry, and even the leg of lamb became an enemy, and he gnawed viciously.

Dorgon felt strange, he had never seen him like this in his previous life: "Duo Duo, what are you thinking?"

"You're going to marry Fujin!" Duoduo said with pursed lips.

"What happened to me marrying Fujin?"

"If you marry Fujin, you will ignore me!"

Dorgon couldn't laugh or cry: "How could I ignore you after marrying Fujin?"

Doduo said pitifully: "Really? Will my brother really treat me like before?"

Dorgon couldn't help rubbing his head: "Of course, it's better for you than before."

Duoduo still looked aggrieved, his mind was full of thoughts: My brother is going to marry Fujin, my brother will ignore me, my brother is going to marry Fujin, my brother will ignore me...

"Dorgon, after we go back in a few days, we will arrange the marriage." Nurhachi said again.

Dorgon got up again and bowed deeply: "Thank you father Khan."

Standing up slowly, his eyes fell on Huang Taiji who was watching with a smile, as if he was also happy for Dorgon.

I haven't had a dream for a long time.

Perhaps it was the arrival of his Dafujin that evoked his memories of his previous life. Fragments of various memories filled his brain, huddled together in a chaotic pile, and finally fell asleep drowsily.

In the dimness, he seemed to have arrived at a place, a huge palace, carved beams and painted buildings, made of glazed tiles, resplendent and magnificent.

This seems to be the Hall of Supreme Harmony?Why did you come here suddenly?

Dorgon took a step, his body was heavy, and he stretched out his arms to see that he was wearing a luxurious eight-ball dragon python robe, and he went back to the past.

"Royal Father." A clear and slightly immature voice sounded from the front, echoing in the empty hall.

Dorgon looked up, and there was a thin young man sitting on the golden dragon chair, staring at him intently.

"Emperor?" It was Fulin, the ninth son of Huang Taiji.

Dorgon walked towards him, at first he was still cautious, but somehow he became impatient, his steps became bigger and bigger, faster and faster, he went straight up the steps, and walked to Fulin's side.

The boy turned to look at him, quietly.

A little kid who doesn't understand anything, why should he sit on this noble dragon chair?The country I conquered and the country I ruled, why should he rule the world?But I want to kneel at his feet and bow down to him?

Dorgon was filled with resentment, his mind went blank, and he stretched out a hand to grab Fulin.

"Dorgon! What are you doing! How dare you disrespect the emperor!"

With a shout, Dorgon looked back, and it was Jierhalang who was furious.

"Is Prince Zheng teaching me a lesson?" Dorgon sneered.

"You break your oath and act recklessly, arrogantly arrogant, can't I scold you?"

As soon as the words fell, there were two more people behind Jierharang.Dorgon took a closer look, it was Sonny and Aobai, their eyes were as big as copper bells, as if they were going to pounce on them and eat themselves.Horrified, Dorgon took a step back, but bumped into a hard object.

Looking back, it was a coffin.

Just wondering, everything around has changed, where is the Hall of Supreme Harmony here? Isn't this the Hall of Chongzheng?He is no longer wearing a boa robe, but a mourning dress.Behind him is Huang Taiji's Zi Palace.

In an instant, the Chongzheng Hall was full of people, Daishan, Haoge, Azige, and Duoduo were all there, and the beams and pillars were covered with white curtains.

Soni and Aobai stepped forward: "Prince Su is the eldest son of the former emperor, he will be Prince Su."

"The kings haven't spoken yet, what are you two, step back."

Dorgon was startled, it was his own voice, but he obviously didn't speak.Looking at it again, I have dissociated from the outside and become nothingness, and the one standing in front of me and glaring at me is also myself.

Duoduo shouted: "Brother, among so many people, who is more suitable for the throne than you, of course you should succeed!"

"The former emperor had a son, but if he doesn't have a son, what is the order!" The ministers of the two yellow banners shouted. "We have received the grace of the late emperor, and we are as big as the sky. If we don't establish the son of the late emperor, we would rather go with the late emperor!"

For a while, the Chongzheng Hall was noisy.

Surrounded by the crowd, I hesitated.

Duoduo was annoyed by their quarrel: "If you don't set up my brother, then set me up! My name is also written in Taizu's will!"

Dorgon scolded: "Prince Su's name is also on Taizu's edict, you are not the only one."

"If you don't stand me up, then stand up as Prince Li!"

The aged Prince Li Daishan hurriedly said: "Hey, it would be a good thing if Prince Rui could agree to inherit the throne, otherwise, it should be the late emperor's eldest son Hauge. Although I am the late emperor's elder brother, I am already old , but when the late emperor was here, I had already stopped being involved in government affairs, so it was difficult for me to take on such a heavy responsibility." He did not offend anyone, neither did he offend Dorgon, but he also agreed that the prince should succeed him.

Seeing that Azigedododuo and others opposed his succession, Hauge was filled with resentment: "I am young and poor in morals, so I can't bear this burden!" After saying that, he ignored the persuasion of others and left in a huff.After he left Chongzheng Hall, the two yellow banner ministers quarreled even more fiercely.

Dorgon was very anxious, and looked at Jierhalang again. Although Jierhalang hadn't spoken yet, he looked at the people in the dispute with cold eyes, and no one would help.

Who doesn't want to sit on the emperor's dragon chair, who doesn't want to monopolize the power and guide the country, but each of the eight banners has its own master, and there are endless arguments.

Although Daishan has the longest seniority, he is old and mediocre. Although Hauge is the eldest son, he is brave and intrepid. The Qing regime was first established, and the vast territory of the Ming Dynasty needs to be expanded. Military and political affairs are difficult and changeable. Besides me, Dorgon, there are Who can face the intricacies of this situation?Besides me, Dorgon, who else is qualified to be the emperor?But why don't they support it?Are they all blind?

Behind him, there are two white flag soldiers who are loyal to him, fighting recklessly, at worst, you will die, and the net will be broken.

But since then, the Eight Banners have internal strife and the Qing regime has split, and Liaodong will once again become a mess, and it will come to naught when it enters the Central Plains.

Obviously there is only one step away from the throne, but this step is higher than the mountain and deeper than the sea, no matter how hard it is to cross.

Duo ErGun heartbroken.

"Since Prince Su is unwilling to succeed, then don't force him." Dorgon said slowly, "I also think it is more appropriate for the son of the late emperor to succeed, so let Fulin succeed. But he is still young , Prince Zheng Jierhalang and I will assist the government, and when Fulin grows old, he will return to the government."

The restless heart suddenly calmed down, and Dorgon felt sad.

Turning back again, he looked at the dragon chair that was close at hand.

But I was surprised again, who else could it be if it wasn't Huang Taiji sitting on it?

How can there be any Zigong, how can there be any ministers of the two yellow banners, Daishan, Jierhalang, and Duoduo are all gone.

On the main hall, only myself was left, and I returned to my body and became a complete self again.

"Dorgon." Huang Taiji called him.

Dorgon stepped forward slowly.

"Dorgon." Huang Taiji smiled gently, "If you don't sweat profusely, do you have any other wishes?"

……

Dorgon woke up.This was not a nightmare, but he was already sweating profusely when he woke up from the dream.

It was already dawn, and Dorgon sat on the bed, his chest seemed to be pressed by a huge stone, and he was so stuffy that he couldn't breathe.

He jumped up suddenly, rushed out of the tent, and ran all the way without stopping, as if he wanted to vent all the depression in his chest.

He didn't look at the direction at all, and ran desperately until he lost his strength and fell to the ground.

Dorgon was panting heavily on the ground, the damp air in the morning invaded his body, rushed into his limbs and bones, his whole body was cold, his mind was much clearer, and his chest was no longer so stuffy.

Huang Taiji's words before Yaozhou's departure were like enlightenment, saying that Dorgon woke up in astonishment, and these days, they have been circling in his mind, never forgetting.

For so many years, I have been resentful in my heart. I am the most suitable person to be the emperor. Why don't they support it?

But why should they support it?

This question has never been thought about before.

I never thought of building a good relationship with other banners, never tried to make good friends with Daishan, Jierhalang, and Haoge, and never tried to win over the juniors and ministers of other banners. Why should I let them support when something happens? What about yourself?

As for Huang Taiji, he is neither tall nor young, and his mother is not expensive. At first glance, he has no advantages at all.

Shouldn't they be single and weak?But why does it seem that all the people in the Eight Banners are his people, and they are all willing to follow him?

There are still too many things to learn from Huang Taiji's body. Dorgon lay motionless on his stomach, but he was thinking quickly in his mind.

I can already predict some future trends, and I already have an insurmountable advantage over others. I already know who can become a party in the future and who I should be friends with. to life?

Yes, you must do better than in your previous life!

Duo ErGun secretly swears.

The tiredness of running wildly engulfed his limbs, and he felt sore and weak. Dorgon closed his eyes lazily, letting the wind blow over his face, and his breathing gradually calmed down.

His body suddenly warmed up, and a large cloak covered him.
