Ashes

A few months later, the matter of Amin was put on the table, of course not because of drinking and raving, but because of being stationed in the border.Each army of the Eight Banners has its own place to garrison, and Amin's inlaid blue flag is in Jingyuan Fort, but Amin abandoned Jingyuan Fort and went to Heichamu to reclaim land without permission.

Where is the black wood?It started from Shuerhaqi, where they wanted to move to. Where did he secretly send people, it can be seen that the heart of division has never stopped.

"Amin, the purpose of stationing Jingyuan Fort is to defend against the enemy. You just ignore it. If a strong enemy invades, what should you do?" Dai Shan spoke first.

Mang Gurtai also said: "It's not that Jingyuan Castle can't cultivate land, what are you tossing about?"

"I think your mind is not right, what do you want to do?"

"What's wrong with me?" Amin retorted, "Isn't it just that some people were sent there? What's the big deal?"

Huang Taiji didn't say a word, just listened to their argument, and glanced at Dorgon who was sitting below, who also glanced at him, and quickly looked away.

"You get what you want. This was decided from the beginning."

"You're not just farming, you're building a house over there."

Daishan and Manggurtai accused him one after another.

"I sent people to reclaim over there, what's the matter? Are you planning to punish me?" He said while looking at Huang Taiji with a haughty attitude.

Huang Taiji was annoyed in his heart, but on the surface he just said calmly: "Erbeile, what you did is really wrong."

"It's such a big piece of land over there, it's empty and it's empty, don't let it go to waste! I sent people to plant the land, it's for my big gold! They keep talking about me? What's the big deal?" When Shan and Mang Gurtai spoke, Amin rushed to speak in a rough voice.

"Is this a trivial matter? You ignored Xianhan's order and abandoned the garrison privately. This is a crime of dereliction of duty. Could it be that you are wrong?"

"When did I make a mistake in the place where I, Amin, guarded? Khan, didn't you clearly press down on my inlaid blue flag? What did you say I was dereliction of duty? Just kidding, you have to have evidence to label me."

Faced with Amin's rude attitude, Huang Taiji was furious: "Why did I suppress your Xianglan flag? Is it a lie that you covet Heichamu? Let the two elder brothers talk about how to deal with this matter?"

"Taking this big thing as an example, it's bullying me! If something happens in the future, are you going to take away my position as the banner owner?"

"Amin, Da Khan didn't even mention your position as the banner owner, what are you talking about?" Dai Shan scolded him, but turned to Huang Taiji, "Khan, you also know A Min's temper, I don't think he did it on purpose, but he was a little greedy, so let him go this time, forget it."

"Amin, just admit your mistake. Da Khan didn't blame you. Be more careful in the future." Mang Gurtai followed.

The two big Baylors said one sentence each, silencing everything Huang Taiji could say, and they couldn't even find a reason to punish him. If they insisted on punishment, it would be disregarding their face and confronting them.They are not fools, if Amin is punished for this incident, if they accidentally make some mistakes in the future, wouldn't they also have to be punished?

But Amin was also arrogant and couldn't bear the grievance at all: "What's wrong? I didn't do anything wrong."

Dai Shan and Mang Gurtai didn't say anything anymore, they waited to see how Huang Taiji would make a decision, and the other young Baylors who were discussing matters had nothing to say, so they could only stare at the four of them.

Anything that touches the interests of the three of them, their reactions are always surprisingly consistent.Although Huang Taiji was annoyed, he could only say: "Erbeile, garrisoning the farmland is a major national event, and the arrangement Xianhan made for us all is justified. I won't pursue it this time, and we must do our best in the future. , don’t come up with other ideas.”

Hearing this, Amin was still unyielding: "What are you thinking about, what did I do..."

"Okay, Amin." Daishan understood the principle of accepting as soon as he sees a deal, and quickly persuaded Amin, "Khan even said that he would not pursue it, and you still talk too much."

Amin snorted and sat down angrily.

Daishan's kindness, Amin's arrogance, Mang Gurtai's self-preservation, Huang Taiji sees all of these.Although it has been a year since they ascended the throne, in the hearts of these three people, they never really regarded themselves as sweats, and they always cherished the dream of the four major Baylors jointly governing the country.

If the situation of the four sitting in the south and governing is not broken, Huang Taiji will not be able to truly take power for a day. This is absolutely intolerable for him who has great ambitions.

Although the palace in Shenyang is not as good as the one in Beijing, it is also grand in scale and magnificent.

In a remote courtyard, Dorgon was sitting on the steps bored, he looked up at the night sky, staring at it bewilderedly.There are still a few days until August and a half, but the autumn moon is as big as a disc, bright and clear, surrounded by stars all over the sky, hanging high and cold.

He heard the footsteps of someone approaching, and said without turning his head: "I thought you would show off your prestige, but I didn't expect that you still didn't say a word."

The man walked to Dorgon's side and sat down slowly: "You did a good job and arranged it meticulously."

"Where do I need to make more arrangements, his mind is already out of his mind, and if someone picks a few words, he will use his brains to black and white." Dorgon said, "No matter how good I do, there is no need to worry about it." What's the use, you can't be the master, it's not useless."

The people around him were silent, Dorgon looked sideways, and saw Huang Taiji, just like himself, raised his head slightly, staring at the full moon in the sky with a dazed expression.

Dorgon twitched the corner of his mouth, and said in a low voice: "But I didn't expect you to punish him this time."

"I can't do everything I want."

"It's not that you can't do it, but you don't want to do it yet. With Erbeile's temper, if you continue to pamper him, you will definitely cause a big disaster. I'm afraid you won't need to do it at that time. Big Beile and Sanbeile are eager to kill him. "

Huang Taiji met his gaze: "Either don't do it, or do it thoroughly. Since he can't shake his foundation, it's better to tolerate it for a while."

"He didn't give you face so much in the court, I don't think you don't blush and your heart beats, you can really bear it."

Huang Taiji said with a smile: "Only when one is alive can he have face."

Dorgon looked at him coldly: "If Jierharang knew that you were plotting against his brother, he would die of grief, thanks to him still trusting you so much."

Compared with the arrogant words of Amin and others, Dorgon knew better what could hurt Huang Taiji, and Huang Taiji's face changed suddenly with one sentence.But he quickly recovered, and said in a deep voice, "Why don't you show me the way?"

"Uh?"

"It refers to a bright road that will not hurt anyone, but also allow me to grasp the real power and rule Dajin smoothly."

Dorgon sneered: "You don't have to complain to me about this."

"I'm leaving, you should go back to bed earlier." Huang Taiji stood up, looked around, the courtyard was deserted, and far away from the main hall, Huang Taiji searched for a long time before finding it, so he came late , "Why did you call me to such a remote place? Are you still afraid that our conversation will be overheard?"

"I just don't want to see so many people." Dorgon lowered his head and said, "Today is my mother's death day."

His voice sounded a little weak, which made Huang Taiji, who was about to leave, stop in his tracks.

"Although Doduo didn't say anything, he was very irritable all day. When I came, he was still losing his temper with his servants. I don't know if he will sleep now."

"Are you sad?" Huang Taiji turned his back to him, and his whole body was hidden in the darkness.

Dorgon sneered: "What do you think?"

Seeing Er Niang die in front of his own eyes, the memory of this scene is very clear tonight, as if it just happened yesterday.

"I'm sorry I couldn't do what I promised you."

Dorgon dismissively said: "You don't need to apologize. It's only natural for you to protect your own interests first. How can you expect you to care about a completely irrelevant person? I am incompetent and mistrust you .”

As soon as the words fell, Dorgon felt a weight on his body, Huang Taiji had returned at some point, and stretched out an arm to encircle him from behind.Dorgon struggled a bit, but was held tighter by him.

"You are extremely sarcastic." Huang Taiji's voice was close at hand, right next to his ear, and he could still feel the temperature of his breath.

Dorgon didn't resist anymore, and continued to say without any emotion: "Did I say something wrong?"

"No, you're right. I know you're unhappy. If you can make you feel better by speaking out, then just say it. I can bear it. "

"It can't hurt your essence anyway, can it?"

"That's not necessarily the case, it doesn't necessarily mean that it won't hurt if it doesn't bleed."

"Are you in pain too?"

"If you hurt, I will hurt too."

Dorgon turned his head to look at him, and met his gaze. The inexplicable emotion in his eyes was infecting himself, like a soft vine, growing rapidly, entangled in his heart, touching every inconspicuous corner .

"Do you still want to say that you will compensate me with power and wealth?" Dorgon said with a cold face.

"You miss me that much?" Huang Taiji frowned, "Using the word 'compensation' is too tarnished for you."

"what does that mean?"

"My willingness is irreplaceable to yours, and has nothing to do with anyone else or anything."

Dorgon was silent, staring at him for a long time, his expression was still indifferent, although Huang Taiji's tone was flat, there was a turmoil hidden in his brows and eyes, and the strength in his hands was still pressing on him, so heavy that it seemed to be able to strangle people to death.

Taking a deep breath, Dorgon said lightly, "I'm going back to sleep."

As soon as the shackles on his body were loosened, Huang Taiji stepped back, and Dorgon suddenly felt much cooler.He got up and patted the dust on his clothes, and walked away step by step, but he always felt a line of sight coming from behind, even after walking away, he never moved away.
