Chapter 18 Heart is like hot coal
The man was slightly fat, had a rich face, fair skin, and a slender eyebrows straight into his temples, his eyes were like water, his cheeks were as red as peaches, and his mouth was like cherries. He was extremely beautiful!
Who is not Queen Mother Bourbute?!
When Haoge saw it, he was shocked and frightened, and quickly struggled to get up. Dulema served him and put on his big clothes, turned over and fell to the ground: "I don't know that the mother and the queen are coming, and the child has not welcomed him. The queen and the mother are forgiven for their sins."
Boulbutai is 34 years old this year, five years younger than Hauge. However, here, Hauge can only be called "My Mother" and can't be called "My Mother" with the concubine, right? Even Dulema has to be called "My Mother".
Manchus have not yet been sinicized, but no matter what generation a woman is in her parents' family, she has to follow her husband's family as long as she marrys her husband's family - this is the same as the Han people.
However, Huang Taiji's concubines Meng Guzhezhe, Buerbute and Hailanzhu are aunts and nephews, while Dulema is Buerbute's cousin, but married his son Haoge.
These are very different from those of the Han people.
Boulbutai smiled slightly, his voice soft and crisp: "Okay, get up, it's not an outsider, don't stop being so many rules."
Haoge quickly got up and asked Dulema: "Have you driven out all the idle people?"
"Don't worry, I'm just here, there is only one guard brought by my mother, and everyone asked me to drive it away."
"No one saw the mother's face?"
"No."
After a few simple questions, Haoge felt relieved. The Empress Dowager came to visit in person and went deep into Haoge's bedroom. Not to mention the current situation, even without Dorgon, it would be a bad idea.
Moreover, the Empress Dowager disguised herself as a concubine's maid and entered the mansion. She obviously had a secret matter to discuss with her, so she wouldn't be careful.
"Okay, you go down and just guard in the yard, and no one is allowed to get close to you." Haug said to Dulma.
"Yes." Dulema gave a bow and returned to the house.
"My mother, what's the matter? Just send an imperial edict to the palace. Why don't you come to the door in person?" Haoge asked Bulftai to sit down in the seat, stood on the side, and asked.
"Haoge, I only want to ask you one thing, do you want to be an emperor?" Bulftai asked directly without a single word of nonsense.
"I don't want to. My mother, Haogede, has never thought of becoming an emperor. When I was fighting with the fourteenth uncle, I was afraid that the foundation that the emperor had worked hard to create would fall into the hands of outsiders. Now that the ninth brother has become the emperor, the foundation of the emperor can be passed on, and the fourteenth uncle and the sixth uncle have made great contributions. The Qing Dynasty's territory is getting wider and wider, and the country is becoming more and more stable. My son is already very satisfied and will never think about it." Haoge was stunned. I wonder what the empress dowager said. Is he here to test my attitude for Dorgon?
So, he shook his head and replied carefully.
When Bulftai heard this, he smiled coldly and said, "You have been demoted and removed from military power in the Golden Palace today. I have heard of it. Are you willing to be bullied?"
"My mother, my son has withdrawn his troops without asking for an order. It is reasonable that the fourteenth uncle was punished, and my son has no complaints."
"Is it really because you can't get the food and salary?"
"Yes. Sichuan is a country of Tianfu, which makes Zhang Xianzhong manage in a mess. Large areas of land are deserted and no one can cultivate it. Guizhou has many mountains and few fields. The locals are poor and self-sufficient, and they cannot solve the problem of tens of thousands of troops eating food. Therefore, the minister had to withdraw his troops."
When Bulftai heard what Haoge said, he thought about it and knew that he did not trust him, and he might have thought he was Dorgon's man.
"Haoge, you don't have to doubt the queen. Let's say that, everything that queen did before was for the emperor, and you can't believe it. However, when my queen heard that you didn't have the heart to be the emperor, my queen believed it. In this way, if my queen had a way to make you the regent, can you agree to the two conditions of my last?" Boulbutai asked in a low voice.
"What conditions?" Haoge asked in surprise.
"First, you cannot seize the throne, you can only do your best to assist the emperor; second, you must be assisted in the administration on the outside and make major matters in secret. Of course, this condition is only valid before the emperor takes power. Once the emperor takes power, he will not ask about political affairs after the administration." Bulftai said without hesitation.
"Ah?" Haoge was stunned when he heard this. He thought to himself: "It's okay if I don't plan to seize the throne, but will the Empress Dowager take charge of the court?"
Then he thought, "She has a way to make me regent? What can she do? Judging from the two conditions she mentioned, it seems to be sincere, not as if she is here to test it. Because only such a confidential matter can make her come forward in person. If it is an ordinary temptation or something else, please let Dulma send a message."
"Forget it, just believe her once. Anyway, there is no third person present in my mansion. If she turns against each other in the future, she will not be able to provide evidence."
Thinking of this, Haoge bowed and said, "Mother, the first thing the son minister can agree, but the second thing you know is that this is inconsistent with the ancestral system. It is not that the son minister is unwilling to ask about the ancestral system because he is afraid of violating the ancestral system."
"Haoge, you don't have to worry. My husband will not be in charge of the court and I don't understand. Don't say that you dare not disobey the ancestral system, my husband will not dare, and I will not be willing to gain the reputation of a hen Sichen. My husband just gives you an idea when you greet you. If you are right, you will listen, and if you are wrong, you will not listen. What do you think?"
"Then I obey the order."
"Okay, that's it."
"My mother, do you have anything else... what do you want to say?" Haoge asked hesitantly.
Boulbutai is very smart. When he sees him like this, he knows that he has to make a condition. That's right, he has to give him some benefits.
"Haoge, I will not treat you badly. The rich ribbon is the king, and the white flag is in the commander, and the two red flags are in the sky. You have to give your uncle a face. Mandahai will take one flag and you have the final say for whom the other flag is. However, the yellow, the yellow flag is in the sky, and the white must be returned to the emperor."
Fu Shou was born to Dulema, and his legitimate son, who was counted as blood, and was also Boulbutai's nephew. It is reasonable for Boulbutai to make such arrangements.
Haoge was overjoyed when he heard this. If this is the case, then his family would have only two princes. In addition, taking down another red flag to Luo Luohun, it would be considered a complete relationship with Luo Luohun.
However, these plans can only be considered a dream now. If the Dorgon brothers cannot be defeated, everything will be in vain.
"Mother, I'm listening to you. But isn't it too difficult?" Haoge asked.
"The queen understands that you are not at the bottom of your heart. Let's say that, if the queen can't do it, then you can just pretend that today's affairs are not available. Only when the queen has done it, today's agreement will be valid. In short, there will be a result within half a month. If there is an urgent matter, the queen will ask Sony to come to you. Remember, only if Sony comes, you can trust it."
"Son of yourselves obey your order!"
When Haoge heard this, he understood that Luo Luohun's judgment was probably right - Sony had defected to the Queen Mother.
