There were also some officials from the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

After gathering everyone, a large group of people came towards the big sacrificial altar.

At the same time that Chongzhen brought his clan members, old and new ministers, and civil and military officials to the great altar to offer sacrifices to heaven and earth, Dorgon also held a New Year's sacrifice in the Shaman Hall east of Yuhe Bridge.

Although the state religion of Jiannu has been changed from Shamanism to Lamaism,

However, the ritual of sacrificing shamans on the first day of the Lunar New Year has been retained, which is also a sign of respect for the old Nurhaci.

The ritual of sacrificing a shaman is not interesting. What is interesting is who will perform the ceremony? Is it the young emperor Shunzhi who will perform the ceremony, or Dorgon, the emperor's father and regent, who will perform the ceremony?

The little emperor Fulin is now ten years old and is as tall as Dorgon's shoulders.

However, Fulin was more submissive to Dorgon and even directly changed his name to Emperor Ama.

"Huang Ama." Fulin said respectfully, "You will be the one to officiate this year."

"Isn't this bad?" Dorgon said hypocritically, "It's not appropriate for the regent to preside over the ceremony."

"What's wrong with the regent?" Gang Lin immediately stepped forward and said, "In the past, when Old Khan was unwell, Dabeile would always perform the sacrifices on his behalf. Dabeile can do it, so what's wrong with the emperor and the regent?"

Many Eight Banners nobles present looked at Gang Lin angrily after hearing this.

Even Dorgon's brother Azig looked unhappy.

At Fulin's insistence, Dorgon finally presided over the sacrifice.

After offering sacrifices to the shaman god, a more interesting scene came, because according to etiquette, the emperor and the queen should go to Kunning Palace to worship the concubine empress and pray for many heirs to the royal family.

This didn't exist before because Fulin hadn't gotten married yet.

But now that Dorgon is the officiant, the sacrifice can be performed.

Although Dorgon had a blessing, his blessing was not a queen.

Bumbutai is quite suitable, but after all, she has not married Dorgon yet.

But this year, Dorgon didn't know if he had a strong brain, but he actually forced Bumbutai to kneel down side by side under the shrine of the Queen Mother, and kowtowed nine times in a row.

Even more amazing is Fulin, the little emperor.

After Dorgon and Bumbutai got up, Fulin flicked his sleeves and knelt down in front of them, saying loudly: "My son, Fulin, wishes Huang Ama and Huang Er Niang many children and good fortune.

"

"Your Majesty is born in peace." Dorgon said with a satisfied look on his face.

Bumbutai's face was also flushed. I wonder if he was angry or ashamed?

However, the nobles with yellow flags and true yellow flags watching the ceremony below, such as Ao Bai, Tan Tai, Ta Zhan, Tu Lai and Gong Adai, were all so angry that their faces were livid and their whole bodies were shaking.

After finally completing the New Year sacrificial process, Dorgon took Duduo back to Prince Rui's Mansion.

"Brother Fourteen, this brat Fulin must be faking it." Duduo said in a low voice, "You have to be careful. This brat is so tolerant at a young age. Will he be able to do it when he grows up? It's better to get rid of him as soon as possible."

"Old Fifteen, why are you so anxious?" Dorgon waved his hand and said, "I have my own plan."

Duduo's expression changed and he asked again: "Brother Fourteen, do you mean that you did today's sacrifice on purpose?"

"What else? Do you think I would be that stupid? So stupid that I would offend the nobles of the two yellow flags because of a woman?" Dorgon snorted and said, "This is a test and a temptation."

Duduo said: "Luring those who are dissatisfied with Brother Fourteen to jump out? Then take the opportunity to rectify the flag affairs? It is best to change the flags again and change the colors of our two white flags and two yellow flags."

"Change the flag?" Dorgon snorted, "I want more than just changing the flag."

After a pause, Dorgon showed a look of worry again, and then said: "Old Fifteen, I wonder if you have noticed that the Eight Banners political system established by Old Khan has hindered the growth of the Qing Dynasty."

Duduo said solemnly: "Brother Fourteen, do you want to abolish the Eight Banners political system?"
