Ashes

Dorgon had never thought that Er Niang was so beautiful, she had picturesque features, delicate and elegant, elegant and elegant, no woman in the world could compare to her, especially her hands, slender and white, as shiny and flawless as white jade.

But she just wanted to use these hands to end her own life.

Four big Baylor also knelt in front of her, four pairs of eyes fixed on her.

Dorgon also couldn't take his eyes off, he wanted to watch this moment happen with his own eyes, let this scene be deeply engraved on every bone of him, and he would never forget it forever.

Huang Taiji glanced at him from the corner of his eye, and his heart was shocked. What kind of power did he use to control his emotions, forcing himself to record every detail with his eyes?He surprised himself once again.

The bowstring was strung around her neck. People always have the desire to survive. When she had difficulty breathing, she began to struggle subconsciously.

"Emiang!" Dorgon suddenly stood up.

Seeing this, Mang Gurtai immediately rushed to Abahai: "Come on, come and catch her!"

Dorgon was furious, and jumped up suddenly: "Mang Gurtai! Let go of my mother!"

"Dorgon, don't mess around!" Huang Taiji hugged Dorgon tightly, holding him firmly in his arms.

Dorgon kicked and shouted: "Mang Gurtai! You bastard! If you dare to touch my mother again, I will kill you!"

The scene was chaotic for a while, some were yelling, some were struggling, and some were running.It seemed that something was collapsing, piece by piece, fragmented, and thrown under the feet.

"Fifth brother! Don't worry! Let the concubine come by herself." Huang Taiji tried his best to control the situation, and hugged Dorgon tightly, "Dorgon! Don't mess around! You have to understand your current situation!"

It is obvious that the person in his arms is trembling violently, like a mass of phosphorous fire, burning crazily, and everything that is stained with sparks is instantly burned to ashes.

Dorgon resisted with all his strength, and the only sliver of reason in his mind prevented him from going mad on the spot.

"Dorgon, you still have a long way to go!" Huang Taiji lowered his voice and comforted him, wondering if he could listen.

"Er Niang..." A heart-piercing roar came from Dorgon's throat.

Huang Taiji intensified the strength in his hands, he was almost out of control, he could see it in his eyes, but it hurt in his heart.

He is only a 15-year-old child, how can he bear the pain of his mother dying in front of his eyes?He suddenly remembered that when he was 12 years old, he watched his mother be tortured to death by a serious illness. The pain felt like tearing himself apart. During those days, he was like a hollowed out doll, walking dead Usually, after going through all kinds of pain, they survived.

And Dorgon in his arms was experiencing the same experience, and it was a more brutal death, and he was one of the executioners.She can fully understand his pain at this moment, not only can't share half of it for him, but also tightly imprison his body.

Huang Taiji was also tormented in a raging fire, his soul seemed to be torn in two, one half was Big Baylor, and the other half was Dorgon's starling.

"Dorgon will pass...will pass..." Huang Taiji's voice was low and hoarse.

When Abahai's breathing became weaker and weaker, the person in his arms gradually stopped shaking.

In Huang Taiji's memory, the feeling of holding Dorgon once was still soft, but now it is hard. The whole person is a bone, as stubborn as a bone, sticking to him and sticking to his heart .

He has grown up and is no longer the lovely Dorgon, and today's incident has drawn a bottomless moat between the two of them.

But at this moment, Huang Taiji suddenly had an idea and decided to use his whole life to treat him well.

Dorgon's stiff body finally softened, and the spark in his eyes went out.

His physical strength was lost, his limbs were limp and weak, but his internal organs seemed to be on fire. The flame was not yellow, but heavy black.

He seemed to have experienced a rebirth from Nirvana, completely like a different person, so gloomy and terrifying.He suppressed the anger that filled his heart, and hatred was revealed from the bottom of his heart.

He raised his head to look at Huang Taiji, on the surface there was no emotion at all, he shook his arms and broke free from Huang Taiji's arms.

Huang Taiji stood up, facing his pair as deep as a pool of water, his heart skipped a beat.

"Who was the first to propose that Er Niang be buried?" Dorgon said coldly.

"Father Khan died."

"You think I'll believe it?"

"Does it matter?"

Dorgon raised his face: "It's okay."

"it's me."

Dorgon didn't speak, but the resentment in his eyes was clear and undisguised.

Rather than letting Dorgon, who is not yet plump enough, crash into the other three high-ranking and powerful Baylor, it is better to let him vent all his anger on himself. At least in this way, he is still safe for the time being.

Those three people, even I couldn't deal with them calmly in a short time.

"You remember Dorgon." Huang Taiji said condescendingly, "If you want to hate me, use all your strength to hate me, otherwise you will not be a descendant of the Aixinjueluo family, and you will not be the son of Ama!"

The fire in Dorgon's eyes was ignited again, burning this endless hatred, destroying everything, he said word by word: "Don't worry."

Walking out of the gate, Duoduo was watching eagerly at the gate, and Azig had already arrived.

"Brother! What's wrong with Erniang!" Duoduo rushed over.

Dorgon choked for a moment, not knowing how to answer.

The impatient Azig pushed him: "Speak, are you dumb?"

Dorgon couldn't stand upright, and was pushed to the ground by him.

Azig and Duoduo were terrified, their faces were as pale as snow, and they rushed into the house.

"Stop him!" Dorgon yelled, and ordered someone to stop Azig, while he himself grabbed Duoduo with all his strength.

The current Erniang doesn't look very good, let them see it after they clean it up.

Duoduo shouted: "What did they do to Er Niang! I want to see Er Niang!"

"Er Niang is gone!" Dorgon roared.

Duo Duo turned into petrification, and looked at Duo ErGun in disbelief: "Brother, what are you kidding?"

"Er Niang is gone." Dorgon repeated.

"You went in for a long time, and when you came out, you told me that Er Niang was gone!" Duoduo exclaimed.

Azige was also very surprised, and shook Dorgon desperately: "Dorgon! What's going on!"

Dorgon was shaken dizzily by him: "Emiang was buried for her father Khan."

Terrible silence enveloped the three of them, and they couldn't accept this fact at all.

Duoduo screamed: "Emiang!" Like a wounded cub, he crazily pounced on the four big Baylors who came out one after another, "You killed my Ernian! I want you to pay for it!"

Dorgon hugged Duo Duo, grabbed his shoulders, and shouted in his ear: "Duo Duo, don't be impulsive!"

Azig also hissed and roared, and several people dragged him desperately, unable to do anything.

Duoduo waved his fist at Daishan and the others: "I'll kill you! You murderers!"

Dorgon dragged him to the other side with all his strength: "Calm down! What can you do now?"

"How do you make me calm down!" Duoduo shouted loudly, bursting into tears in an instant, "Emiang is dead!"elder brother!My mother is dead!Amma died yesterday!My mother died this year too!How do you make me calm down! "

Dorgon gritted his teeth, unable to find any words to refute him.

"They're all dead! They're all dead! You tell me how to calm down!" The cub tore out wounds on his body, and his body was covered in cuts and bruises.

Dorgon held his head tightly, his voice hoarse and ugly: "It will be fine, Duoduo, everything will be fine, and I will make them pay the price."

Dai Shan glanced at the brothers and said to those around him: "Call all Baylor and ministers to discuss matters in the hall."

In the main hall, all the important figures of the Kingdom of Jin gathered together. When the contemporary benevolent representatives, the Banner Lord Baylor, elected Huang Taiji to succeed him, no one raised any objections, including the angry Azig and the sobbing Duduo. Or in other words, they have no ability to object.

Dorgon looked at Huang Taiji indifferently, watched him accept the praise from everyone, and watched the excitement shining in his seemingly calm eyes.

He got his wish, so many years of hard work finally came to fruition, he thought he would congratulate him with relief, but Dorgon, who had just experienced Er Niang's death, was exhausted all over his body.

Just as a person knows the temperature of drinking water, no one can understand the suffering in his heart. Even if he speaks out, others will take it as a joke.

He really wanted to find a bed right away and sleep through to death, but he couldn't.The more he was on the verge of collapse, the more he had to straighten up and continue walking down.

When the dust of Huang Taiji's succession to the throne was settled, Dorgon arranged Azig and Duoduo properly, and comforted him repeatedly for a long time.Tired from crying, Dodo finally fell asleep, but his carefree eyes were covered with dust since then.

After such a delay, when Dorgon went to look for Huang Taiji, it was already night.

Huang Taiji was also extremely busy.That's natural. There are many things that need to be prepared for the new Khan's succession, so when Dorgon arrived, someone just came out of his study, and it was finally free.

Maybe that person left in a hurry and pushed the door casually without closing it.With the breeze, a crack was blown open, and Dorgon stood outside the door and looked in.

The people in the room were rubbing their temples, their heads were lowered, and their expressions couldn't be seen clearly. It seemed that he was also exhausted, but I'm afraid he was too happy to be busy.

Dorgon pushed open the door and stepped in. Huang Taiji raised his head when he heard the sound, and when he saw himself, a smile appeared on his face.Walking up to him, he called faintly, "Khan."

Following the loud sweat, the smile immediately froze on Huang Taiji's face.

This address was originally very common, but at this time it sounded cold and distant, as if separated by many snow mountains, which forced the distance between the two of them.

Huang Taiji felt desolate in his heart, but he quickly changed his sitting position to conceal the awkward atmosphere, and said in a harmonious voice, "Sit down."

"No, I'll leave after I finish speaking." Dorgon stood still.

At first, I still had some hope, maybe he was trying to make peace, but it seems that I'm afraid it's my own delusion. "Okay then, what's the matter?" Huang Taiji said helplessly.

A smile bloomed at the corner of Dorgon's mouth, like the spring breeze melting the winter snow: "Myna, you seem too nervous, I just congratulate myna for getting his wish fulfilled and inheriting the throne. I was busy coaxing Dodo before, so I didn't have time to congratulate , as you know, Duduo is still young, and he will always miss Erniang Ama."

Seeing Dorgon's relaxed face, Huang Taiji couldn't smile at all, because he knew that this smile was a complete disguise, a disguise that he would only make when facing the enemy.

I am already his enemy!

Although Huang Taiji could pretend to accept it happily, he didn't want to pretend, he just looked at him thoughtfully, and said for a long time: "You have really grown up."

"Is this my starling's compliment to me?"

"Your mother regards you as a child, but I never think so. I always think that you have the ability to talk to me at the same height, and no one of the brothers can do this. Maybe your ability is still limited now. , but not forever.”

"Thank you mynah for praising me so much. I also know that my ability is limited, so I hope mynah can help me."

"why?"

"Because you need me, you need two yellow flags."

Huang Taiji smiled coldly: "You're right, but I won't keep tigers in my way."

"Brother, are you not confident anymore?" Dorgon met his gaze.

Huang Taiji tilted his head, as if he heard a joke: "Are you trying to provoke me? In fact, you should understand that even if you don't come today, I will raise you to the position you deserve. If you can come and talk to me Frankly speaking, honestly, I'm still very happy."

"I just think that even if I want to cheat, I can't fool you."

"It saves effort to be able to talk to smart people. All right, you can go back."

Just as Dorgon turned around and took a step, Huang Taiji's voice came from behind again: "Dorgon, you have to believe that the starling has always wished you well." Dorgon paused, without turning back, Walked out of the study.

Not everyone can negotiate calmly with the enemy, let alone cooperation, and this cooperation is for the final non-cooperation.

This kind of mental maturity is terrifying.

After he left, the room was empty again, Huang Taiji never felt that being alone in the study was a lonely thing, but tonight was not at all.

He didn't expect his attitude to have such a big impact on him.

As Huang Taiji thought about it, exhaustion swept over him, and he rubbed his temples again, trying to relax.

"elder brother?"

Jierhalang also came at some time, and when he saw him, his heavy heart suddenly became much lighter.Huang Taiji smiled and said, "You're still here so late?"

"I saw Dorgon when I came, what did he come to tell you?" Jierhalang was nervous for Huang Taiji.

Huang Taiji smiled wryly: "He sees that my power is too weak now, and I need to win over two yellow flags to compete with the three big Baylors."

Ji Erhalang's face darkened: "He really has a grudge."

"It's human nature, and we can't blame him."

Jierhalang frowned, as if he had something on his mind, he seemed hesitant to speak.

"What are you thinking?" Huang Taiji asked.

Without Huang Taiji's permission, he privately instigated Amin to deal with the concubine. This matter has been suppressed in Jierhalang's mind for several days. He wanted to tell Huang Taiji the truth several times, but he always lacked courage.But when he heard about the violent reaction of the three Azig brothers during the day, he felt even more disturbed. He had already fallen asleep, but he couldn't fall asleep after tossing and turning, so he ran here anyway.

"Brother, in fact, the princess..."

"Don't talk about the concubine anymore." Huang Taiji interrupted him.

"No, actually the princess..."

"Jierhalang." Although Huang Taiji's tone was gentle but extremely firm, "Don't say any more, and don't think about it anymore, do you hear me?"

Jierhalang was stunned, faintly feeling that Huang Taiji already knew it was his idea: "I'm afraid that Dorgon will harm you."

"It's okay, don't worry about it."

"You don't want the princess to die, do you?"

"My thoughts are no longer important. They proposed that the concubine should be buried, and I agreed, and I was there at the time. It's that simple."

Jierhalang was even more worried, and lamented: "I'm worried... Dorgon's hatred is so deep, he..."

"I owe him." Huang Taiji said expressionlessly.

Ji Erhalang was stunned, he was surprised that Huang Taiji cared so much about Dorgon, and he felt sorry for the burden on Huang Taiji.

"Okay, let's not talk about this." Huang Taiji walked in front of him, patted him on the shoulder, and immediately said with pride: "I am already sweating profusely, and now Dajin is ruled by me, shouldn't we think about it at this moment?" Want something happy? Just wait and see, one day, I will not only be the master of Liaodong, but also the master of the world."

Jierhalang's mood also changed, he looked at Huang Taiji with adoring eyes, and nodded his head heavily.

Since then, the Nurhachi era has come to an end, and the Qing Dynasty will enter a new chapter.
