Chapter 2: Shengjing Storm (III)

"Dorgon is a young man, very scheming, and very good at keeping a low profile. In recent years, not only has his military achievements, but also has a deep trust from Huang Taiji. He can be said to be his right-hand man. In short, he is a Jurchen royal family and has an indelible hatred with the Ming Dynasty. How could he suddenly surrender to the embrace of the Ming Dynasty?" British Duke Zhang Guowei was a steady and cautious person, and he also expressed great doubts.

"Yes, Your Majesty, this Jurchen person is not trustworthy, and Dorgon is even more trustworthy as a Jurchen nobleman." Huang Zunsu also urged him.

"You two are confused by the authorities, the emperor understands it in his heart!" Xu Guangqi was not kind at all, and he explained Zhu Yinglong's thoughts in one sentence.

Zhu Yinglong did not blame this old minister for being unkind, but instead smiled it. He would not care about some minor details, but instead deepened the relationship between the king and the minister. Even if he made a few jokes, it didn't matter. He felt relieved after hearing this!

"Although killing Dorgon is not unhelpful to our Ming Dynasty, in terms of the current situation, killing him is much less beneficial than letting him go. Dorgon is able to tolerate it, has a scheming, and of course he is a strong enemy. However, his current enemy is not me or Ming Dynasty. Although the Later Jin Dynasty and our Ming Dynasty are irreconcilable, Dorgon himself has no great hatred with the Ming Dynasty. Moreover, his biggest enemy is Huang Taiji, and the current big trouble for my Ming Dynasty is also this evil wolf in the north. Dorgon is a little fox. Although the power of the fox is not as strong as a wolf, his head is very smart. I need a stable environment to restore national strength and rectify military equipment, so I cannot make the Later Jin Dynasty too calm. Dorgon is my pawn!" Zhu Yinglong explained with a smile.

"The emperor has carefully considered it. Now the country is a critical period of reform. If the border rekinds its war, the country will inevitably be affected. Moreover, the battle between the Ming Dynasty and the Later Jin Dynasty is getting bigger and bigger. This fight will definitely be a situation that will never stop until death." Sun Chengzong frowned.

Xiong Tingbi nodded and agreed: "Although I, the Ming Dynasty, was not afraid of going to war with the Jin people, now is obviously not a good time to start a war."

"Yes, I just give me five years, even three years. Even if there is a big battle, I will not be afraid. Not only will I beat the Jin people to the point of eating raw meat and drinking blood, but I will also recover the lost territory and expand the territory of the Ming Dynasty northward!" Zhu Yinglong said ambitiously.

To expand territory, powerful force is naturally indispensable. In the future, the power of military generals will be greatly enhanced. The three giants of the Military Machine Pavilion were filled with blood and excited.

"The current territory of the Later Jin Dynasty originally belonged to my Ming Dynasty, so it is natural to take it back, but that North Korea?" Xu Guangqi said worriedly.

"North Korea is no longer the country. Lord Xu, have you remembered it wrong?" Huang Zunsu reminded him in a teasing way.

"Oh!" Xu Guangqi is also a smart person, so he naturally knew that he was saying the wrong thing. North Korea has destroyed its country, so the land it captured naturally belongs to the Ming Dynasty. What else is there to controversy about?

"The emperor wouldn't just put Dorgon back so directly, right?" Sun Chengzong asked a very critical question.

Zhu Yinglong smiled and shook his head and said, "Of course not. If Dorgon becomes a prisoner under the Ming Dynasty, even if he returns to the Later Jin Dynasty, his prestige will be greatly damaged."

"What the emperor said makes sense. A while ago, there was a fierce incident in the Later Jin Dynasty. Rumors were everywhere, all about Huang Taiji who deliberately used a knife to kill people. The death of Dorgon in the Later Jin Dynasty targeted Huang Taiji. Although Huang Taiji successfully calmed down the opposition, there were still many people who supported Dorgon. However, once Dorgon died, these people would lose their leader, and sooner or later they would be defeated by Huang Taiji one by one. When the Later Jin Dynasty fell, the world was Huang Taiji alone." Huang Zunsu analyzed.

"Yes, for the Ming Dynasty, the more chaotic the inner part of the Later Jin Dynasty is, the more beneficial it is. When the situation calms down, Huang Taiji will inevitably attack those who oppose him. Even if Dorgon returns, he will become a lonely man. Therefore, the old minister thinks that Dorgon should be sent back as soon as possible." Zhang Guowei suggested.

"I have already arranged it. Please listen to my method..." Zhu Yinglong told the five close ministers the script he wrote himself.

"Great, the emperor's method is too high!" After hearing this, Xu Guangqi's old face turned red and he was extremely excited.

"Sure, it's so amazing. The old minister admires the emperor's wisdom and is promising!" Sun Chengzong was also applauding.

Zhang Guowei, Xiong Tingbi and Huang Zunsu were also very happy and laughed.

The atmosphere in Nanshu was warm and I ate it with a cup of tea. I was so happy. After eating this hot pot for nearly an hour, the meal ended.

He ordered Xu Yingyuan to order people to remove the remaining soup from the table. After eating, he had a full stomach and had the idea of ​​going out for a walk and taking a walk.

Wearing a black cloak, accompanied by Xu Yingyuan, he left the Palace of Harmony.

The cold wind was urinating, and a crescent moon had already hung on the willows. The sound of the north wind was heard in my ears. This year's winter will be a cold winter again, Zhu Yinglong couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

"Your Majesty, the weather is too cold. You have to be careful of the dragon body. You might as well go back to the house." In the cold wind, Xu Yingyuan was hungry and shivering a little cold.

Zhu Yinglong had just eaten hot pot and was sweating all over. He didn't feel too cold at once. Instead, he felt a little comfortable. Therefore, he was unwilling to go back now. He also saw the scene of Xu Yingyuan's body shaking, so he said, "If you think it's cold, then you can go back and rest first. I'll just stay alone, and you don't have to serve you."

"Your Majesty, how can this be done? I am yours..."

"Okay, okay, how come so much nonsense? I asked you to go back, you will go back." Zhu Yinglong interrupted Xu Yingyuan's words.

Xu Yingyuan knew Zhu Yinglong's temper. Besides, this is the Palace of Yangxin. There is no problem with the emperor's safety in the palace. He doesn't have to worry about not being able to find someone when Zhu Yinglong ordered people. Anyway, there are eunuchs and palace maids on duty, so he left and rested.

The Palace of Yangxin is a huge palace complex. Although it is not the largest in the Forbidden City, it is the most exquisite, because it is the place where the emperor studies, lives and works, so it is naturally unscathing.

Yangxin Hall is an I-shaped hall with three rooms wide in front of the hall, 36 meters wide in width, three rooms deep in depth, and twelve meters deep. Yellow glazed tiles, hip-mounted mountain roof, Ming and western indirectly rolled sheds to embrace the building. The front eaves columns are located, each with two square pillars, which looks like 9 rooms. The name of Yangxin Hall comes from Mencius's "Keep the mind and nourish the nature to serve the heaven", which means to cultivate nature. In order to improve lighting, Yangxin Hall became the first palace in the Forbidden City to be equipped with glass. The emperor's throne is set up.

In the middle of the Ming Dynasty, there is a plaque "Zhongzheng Renhe" written by the red shadow dragon. The "East Warm Pavilion" on the east side of the Ming Dynasty has a throne, facing west. The West Warm Pavilion on the west side of the Ming Dynasty is divided into several rooms, with a small room where the emperor reads memorials and talks with his ministers secretly, saying "Diligence and Respect for the Wise". The back hall of the Yangxin Hall is the emperor's bedroom, with five rooms, and there are beds in the east and west, each with beds, so the emperor can live at will. There are five ear rooms on both sides of the back hall for the queen and concubines to live temporarily.

The middle of the south is the Yangxin Gate, facing north and south. The yellow glazed tile gate tower on the hip roof is a wooden screen wall, with a archway style, and a partition door in the middle can be opened. However, it is not opened normally only when the emperor enters and leaves the Yangxin Hall. Bypassing the screen wall is the main hall of the Yangxin Hall, which is more than 63 meters long from north to south, nearly 80 meters wide from east to west, and an area of ​​5,000 square meters. The entire courtyard is divided into the front yard (the front hall of the Yangxin Hall) and the back yard (the back sleeping hall).

The main hall has a width of 7 rooms (36 meters) and a depth of 3 rooms (12 meters). The yellow glazed tiles are single-eaves hip-tops, the main and western rooms. The west side is a little room. There are three rooms in the middle, and there are four large characters "Zhongzheng Renhe" written on it. Behind the screen are two small doors leading to the back hall, namely Tianche and Andun. The north wall is separated by the east and west warm pavilions by the east and west warm pavilions by the east and west warm pavilions. There is a door leading to the east and west warm pavilions in the south of the wall.

The East Warm Pavilion is the east secondary room and the top room, divided into two rooms, north and south, front and back, divided by partitions.

The West Warm Pavilion is the West Second Room and the Side Room, which is divided into two rooms, north and south front and back, with windows in the south and thrones in the north, which are the places where the emperor summoned ministers. In order to keep it confidential, a wooden wall is set up outside the south window. The east is a sandwiched road, with doors connecting the back room. The back room is also separated by a small room. The west room is called "Changchun Bookstore" and the east room is "Wujuenzhai". This is the south study where Zhu Yinglong works daily.

The front hall is in the east side hall, with five rooms wide in front of the corridor, with a hard top of the mountain. It is called "Furenzhai", and the residence of Shunfei Lin Rong. The door is opened in the Ming Dynasty, the second and second rooms in the east and the tops are sill windows. The west side hall is regulated by the same east side hall, named "Yidexuan", and the residence of Yufei Yanhong.

Passing through the main room of Yangxin Hall, "Andun, Tianche", the second small gate is the hall and leads directly to the back hall. The back hall is five wide and the yellow glazed tiles are hard on the top of the mountain, called "Hanchun Room". The temporary residence of the imperial concubine Xiong Hu. The south of the main room is the hall connected to the front hall and form the I-shaped hall. The east and west ends are the threshold windows. The west ends are the "Huazi Hall", and the residence of Zhuangfei Li Qing has a bed inside, and the west ends are the open kang under the south window, and the north wall is a carved dragon cabinet. The east ends are the "self-improvement" and the inner bed is the bed. The forehead on the bed is "Renjijian". The east ends are the throne below the north wall, and the upper forehead is called "Tianxingjian". The east ear room of the rear hall is the "Longxi Hall", with 5 wide and the front corridor is the front door, and the east side is connected to the east side room. The yellow glazed tiles are hard on the top of the mountain, which is the temporary residence of the imperial concubine Xu Ruying in Yangxin Hall.

The west ear room in the back hall is the "Zhenxiang Pavilion", and Zhu Yinglong gave it to Ning Concubine Li Yao for temporary residence. There are east-west enclosures outside the east-west enclosures, with 6 rooms in front of the front hall. Two small rooms are connected to the east-west enclosures of the front hall and the west-west enclosures of the front hall.

In addition to Lin Rong, Li Qing and Li Yao, other concubines all have their own dormitories in the Yangxin Hall, and they all have independent dormitories. However, Yangxin Hall is their preferred place to live, and at least one-third of the year is spent in the Yangxin Hall. Yangxin Hall is the veritable heart of the Ming Dynasty and the core of Zhu Yinglong's family.

Every year, the inner palace in the palace will invest a lot of money in the daily management and repair of the Yangxin Hall. This expense is not paid by the treasury, but by the inner palace itself, and some even individually. Almost every woman attaches great importance to their dormitory in the Yangxin Hall, but their own dormitory is not very concerned.

Of course, Yangxin Hall is not as good as the harem. Although the harem is a closed place, it is still quite free, and there are no restrictions on movement and few rules. There are no restrictions on fighting or making fun. However, Yangxin Hall is different. Although the concubines in the harem can move in, the rules here are quite large, especially when the Yangxin Hall has ministers coming in and out every day, so the concubines naturally cannot be without some scruples, so they have to become much more restrained here.
