Chapter Thirteen: The Heart of a Woman

"Your Majesty, you're not afraid. How can you be afraid of death if you have too many slaves? You think that the prince has only available Zhenglan Banner, but you don't want the prince to take risks. If you don't find out the details of the Ming army and attack rashly, your troops will be damaged, wouldn't it be the perfect match for Dorgon?" Oboi replied.

"Uncle, my nephew sees what Oboi is right. We should not only stop moving forward, but also quickly withdraw our troops back to Sichuan and bring the Eight Banners back to Beijing." Luo Luohun pondered for a while and put forward further suggestions.

"Not it? Luo Luohun, Sony suggested that I return to Beijing because I was afraid that Dorgon would become an abolition of his lord. But I thought about it and Dorgon would not be so bold. After all, there are still you and Mafa in the capital, Jiergalang, Zhenghuang and the elites of the two flags of the Yellow Emperor are also in the capital. These are all loyal to the late emperor. The reason why the emperor urged me to enter Guilin must be that Zhu Youlang's son is in a strong momentum. If he is allowed to become a big shot, it will be difficult to cure in the future and will become a major concern for the emperor. Alas, the emperor is young, and my brother is not going to solve these problems for him. How can he be worthy of the late emperor?" Haoge said hesitantly.

"What the prince said," Oboi nodded repeatedly.

"Uncle, Dorgon has long been unjust, and he is only concerned about me, Mafa, Prince Zheng and you. Now I, Mafa, are getting older and getting worse day by day. The day before yesterday, my nephew received a letter from home saying that Mafa was breathing heavily and was bedridden. Uncle Qi was preparing for his funeral. He was about to fail, and you were leading troops outside, so it was hard to support him.

My nephew Dorgon has not usurped the throne so far, and his plan is to prepare both hands. One is to wait for my Mafa to die, take the Zhenghong Banner and then hand over the Inlaid Red Banner to my third uncle. Uncle San was already dependent on him, so his strength increased greatly and no one in the court could compete with him.

The other hand is to let Prince Ying and Prince Yu make more military achievements and ensure that he ascends the throne. Why did Prince Ying take charge of Shanxi and why did Prince Yu take charge of Nanjing? And let you go deep into barren lands such as Shaanxi, Sichuan and Guizhou? Are you still trying to let Prince Ying protect the capital and let Prince Yu destroy the Southern Ming Dynasty to achieve the achievements of the country?

Therefore, if there was no defeat in Zhangzhou, my nephew would have to wait a moment, but now, I, Mafa, is terminally ill and has no cure, and Prince Yu has also suffered a great loss, so he dare not wait any longer. If the news of the defeat spread throughout the court and the public, his prestige will be greatly reduced. Not to mention usurping the throne, it would be a matter of whether the throne is protected or not."

Luo Luo grew up with Ama in a conspiracy after fighting, and developed a character that looked at people's faces and thought about others' thoughts. His words really shocked Haoge.

"Luo Luohun, if you say this, then Dorgon asked me to enter Guilin, is it really like Sony said, is he trying to detain me outside?"

"Yes, uncle, the word "limited" is well used. If the nephew is expected, you will have three results when you attack Guilin with the Sanshun King. Winning will be a good result for him. At least your strength is weakened and he will have a good reputation for scheduling. If it is in a stalemate, it is also good, and you can tie you firmly in Guangdong. If it is defeated, he will definitely ask you for a death sentence and take the opportunity to get rid of you. In this way, when I, Mafa, die, and he will usurp the throne, it will be something that no one can stop him."

Hearing this, Haoge took a breath!

"Dorgon is so treacherous?"

"Uncle, think about it carefully."

After a while, Haoge shook his head and said worriedly: "Luoluohun, what you said makes sense. But I have two concerns. One is that there is no reason to withdraw the army. Will Dorgon blame me for this? Second, what can I do when I return to Beijing? Dorgon is in power, your Mafa is seriously ill, and Prince Zheng is not sloppy, and both yellow flags are held in Dorgon's hands. With the two brothers Ajige and Dodo, how can I beat him?"

"Your Majesty, the reason for withdrawing troops is ready-made, you don't have to worry. Our food and salary mainly comes from Sichuan, but after Zhang Xianzhong's tossing, Sichuan is already poor and scattered. You can also see Guizhou. Eight mountains, one water and one part of the fields, all the mountains are so damn big that you can't grab food. Now that the army is short of food, it's just a risk to advance to Guangxi again. It's okay if you fight, it's okay. Once it becomes a stalemate, you can starve us to death." Aobai said.

"This is true." Haoge nodded.

"Uncle, the second question you are concerned about is that my nephew thinks you still haven't seen through the profound meaning of Sony's letter." Luo Luo said.

"Deep meaning?" asked Haug.

"Yes."

Haoge took Sony's letter suspiciously and read it twice, but he couldn't see any profound meaning.

"Luoluohun, don't hide it, just say whatever you have." Haoge said impatiently.

"Yes. Uncle and nephew, if it is expected, Sony must have written to you by the Queen Mother's wishes."

"What? Queen Mother?!"

"Yes. Uncle, think about it, although Sony is a first-class guard now, he is working in the Zhiwenguan. According to him, Dorgon has blocked the news of Boluo's defeat, and only a few people in the capital can know the details. Then, who will know the details?"

"Prince Zheng is one, and the two slaves Ganglin and Qi Chongge will definitely know that others say... are the only ones. However, the empress dowager is a tacit secret to Dorgon. She had feelings for Dorgon before she married the late emperor in her early years. If she asked Sony to write a letter, it would be impossible to guarantee that she would not have any malice." Haoge said.

"Uncle, don't forget that the current emperor is her son. Compared with his son, what is a lover or something?" Luo Luo said in a mess.

"This is also true," Hauge said.

After thinking for a while, he said, "But, so what if that's the case? She has no power."

"Uncle, don't underestimate the Queen Mother. Although she is a woman, she has a strong ambition and a low wisdom. She has no power on the surface, but she occupies a great reputation. As long as she says something, the emperor must listen to her. If the emperor issues an order, most of the two yellow flags will also listen to it. This is a big force. The Queen Mother is not stupid and even takes the jade seal away. This clearly does not take the Queen Mother and the Emperor seriously. Which mother does not regard her son as the lifeblood? If the son encounters danger, the mother will not fight to the death? If a woman tries her life, what can't she think of? What can't she do?"

Luo Luohun said with a flirting look.
