Chapter 4 Forced Relocation of the Capital (1)
Chapter 4: Forced to move the capital (I)
Shengjing, Prince Rui’s Mansion.
The wind is about to rise, and the grass and trees are all in autumn. The originally colorful garden scenery of Jiangnan has turned into a murderous atmosphere. Dark clouds and Shandan thoughtfully put a robe on Dorgon.
"Your asthma is not cured yet!" Wuyun Shandan asked softly.
"The room is too stuffy, it's better to be happy outside. I will stand for a while and go back. Don't worry, my body is clear by myself." Dorgon gently patted the little hand that Wuyun Shandan brought over.
"Then I'll go prepare for dinner." Wuyun Shandan showed a gentle smile.
"Go." Dorgon looked at Wuyun Shandan's leaving figure with a smile.
"The concubine really looked at the prince, which really made Leng Yan envious. "Leng Yan appeared silently behind Dorgon.
"Mr. Leng doesn't have a confidante?" Dorgon said with a smile.
"The prince knows, what Leng Yan does? If there is any burden on family matters, how can you do whatever you want?" Leng Yan said lightly.
"Don't you Han people pay the most attention to unfilial piety. If you have no descendants, you will be the best and you will be the only one who will continue the family line?"
"Of course, Leng Yan is alone. Let's talk about the future. Maybe the prince may envy Leng Yan in the future?" Leng Yan smiled.
"Hey, why don't I have a talent like Mr. Leng in the Qing Dynasty?" Dorgon sighed.
"The prince should know that he is a hero in the world. The power of the prince cannot be reversed by the prince's power." Leng Yan said.
How could Dorgon not know? But his inner anger and bitterness kept burning his heart. Everything he did now was betraying his own tribe and his father Khan, who was betraying his lunar calendar. But if he didn't do this, I am afraid that the Aisin Gioro family would disappear from this world. Therefore, all the sins I, Dorgon, will bear!
"What's the news over there?" Dorgon calmed down and asked.
"Empress Yu's identity has been exposed. I believe the news will soon reach Huang Taiji's ears!" Leng Yan said in a low voice.
"What, why is this happening?" Dorgon was in a mess.
"Someone recognized the maid Su Moer beside Empress Yu, so he took out Empress Yu and Empress Hailanzhu." Leng Yan said.
"What, Hai Lanzhu?" Dorgon was even more shocked. It would be a matter of time before Da Yu'er was taken into the harem by Zhu Yinglong. Dorgon had already made this mental preparation and had already learned the news, but Dorgon didn't know anything about Hai Lanzhu.
"Yes, Empress Hailanzhu is the Concubine Jing, the emperor's enthronement." Leng Yan said, believing that Dorgon would soon know the news, there was no need to deliberately conceal it.
When Da Yuer married Huang Taiji, she was just a young girl of thirteen or fourteen years old. If it weren't for Borjijit's surname, Huang Taiji would probably not care much about this concubine. As Hai Lanzhu, Huang Taiji fell in love with her at first sight. Her beautiful appearance and plump and mature figure exuded endless charm, attracting Huang Taiji infinitely.
A woman he liked was lying under another man and was polite and happy. That man was still the opponent he was determined to eliminate. Brother, what should you do? Dorgon actually felt a little pleasure in revenge!
"Prince, the emperor has an order to ask you to enter the palace to discuss matters quickly!"
Dorgon and Leng Yan looked at each other, and everything was silent.
"I will change my clothes immediately!" Dorgon ordered the person who passed the message to say.
The crisp sound of horse hooves broke the tranquility of the night, and the Qing Dynasty Palace tonight seemed destined to be too calm.
Prince Li Dai Shan's subordinate just respected him a fresh virgin. He really wanted to study the secrets of the Han people tonight and enjoy the delicate beauty. It is said that sucking more virgin Yuanyin can make a long life, but Huang Taiji was quick to prepare a horse to enter the palace.
Prince Cheng Yuetuo, Prince Su Haoge, and Prince Rui Dorgon, all four princes in Beijing were summoned into the palace.
Although Huang Taiji did not have the same idea as that of the good generation, there was no other good place to go during this long night. Since he ascended the throne, his harem has been enriched a lot. As an emperor, how could he be without women? Therefore, he chose a few beautiful ones and planned to favor him. Maybe he could have a lot of branches and leaves for himself. However, bad news came. He disappeared for eleven years without any information and the other concubine he wanted to marry seven years ago were both in the harem of the Emperor of Ming Dynasty, and they all became the concubines of Emperor Ming. Huang Taiji was in a very bad mood, so he urgently recruited the four princes Chongzheng Hall to discuss matters.
Huang Taiji's face was very gloomy, and there seemed to be a terrifying murderous intent in the depths of his eyes. Among the four princes, Dorgon had already learned the inside story from Leng Yan. The other three were all a little nervous when they saw Huang Taiji's appearance.
"My son, Emperor Ming, I'm too much!" Huang Taiji seemed to be unable to help but burst out in emotions, and roared at the sky with a ferocious face.
"I dare to ask the emperor, what is the reason why Xuan summoned us and four others to come so late?" Dai Shan was older, the leader of the princes, and the elder of Huang Taiji, so it was most appropriate for him to ask the first question.
"I just received a secret report from Sakhalin. Emperor Ming Zhu Youjian not only ordered people to abduct my concubine Hai Lanzhu and Bumu Butai, but also enthroned them as concubines. Hai Lanzhu gave birth to a baby girl for Emperor Ming. This kind of hatred for taking his wife is irreconcilable. If I, Huang Taiji, cannot take back his own woman and cut off the head of Emperor Ming's little brother, how could I be the king of this country!" Huang Taiji roared to the sky and sweared angrily.
Dai Shan and others were shocked by the news and were stunned. They didn't know how to speak to persuade His Majesty the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty, who was furious!
"The emperor calms down. I don't know if the news about Sakhalin has been confirmed?" Dai Shan said.
"How to prove it?" Huang Taiji said gloomyly.
"Second brother, if the matter is true, will the Ming court admit it?" Dorgon asked back.
"Fourth brother, what do you think? You took people to save Bumubutai back then." Huang Taiji asked.
"Returning to the emperor, Bumubutai's concubine was attacked on his way back to the Korqin grassland eleven years ago. At that time, my brother received news that he had led a pair of troops to rescue him. He only found several jewelry left by the concubine and a trap to hunt black bears. However, the clues were cut off later and they could not be found. My brother had to return. Therefore, I didn't know the life and death of Bumubutai's concubine. Maybe she was rescued, or maybe she had already died." Dorgon said.
"Emperor, my son believes that what Sakhalin reported is true, and there is no such coincidence in the world. At that time, Aunt Hailanzhu was attacked by a group of unknown people on the way to get married. Among the people who sent the wedding, except for Aunt Hailanzhu's brother Wu Keshan, the others were either captured or killed. Aunt Hailanzhu's whereabouts are still unknown. Now it happens that they all appear in the Ming Dynasty and have become the concubines of the Emperor of Ming. Could it be that the two aunts were missing one after another, and there is no mastermind behind the scenes of Emperor Ming behind?" Prince Su Haoge said.
"Don't forget that eleven years ago, Emperor Ming was just a down-and-out vassal king who was driven out of the capital by the eunuch party. He just got into the vassal and couldn't take care of himself. How could he have the power to extend his hands and feet outside the pass?" Dorgon asked back.
"Even if Aunt Bumubutai was an accident, what about Aunt Hailanzhu? It was clearly because Emperor Ming did this villain in order to revenge Emperor Ama for surrendering Mao Wenlong, and sent someone to force the enemy to take refuge, so that Emperor Ama would make a fool of himself in front of everyone!" Haoge said loudly.
That incident indeed made Huang Taiji shame. The king of a country with hundreds of thousands of soldiers could not even keep the woman he wanted to marry. In the end, he could not find any information about the captives. It was extremely embarrassing and a very deep scar in Huang Taiji's heart. Now that his son suddenly revealed it, he suddenly became angry and shouted: "I'm enough, don't say it anymore. This is a great shame and humiliation. I am incompatible with the son of Emperor Ming!"
The four of them were silent. No one dared to mention the matter of "sending troops". Dai Shan did not dare because his son Sakhalin was still in the Ming Dynasty. If he sent troops to attack Ming at this time, his son would not be killed by Emperor Ming. Yue Tuo did not dare because Sakhalin was still his brother. Haoge really wanted to do so because Huang Taiji admired Sakhalin very much, and even was above his son. Because of jealousy, Haoge really wanted to get rid of Sakhalin, but he was afraid that Huang Taiji would see his thoughts, so he did not dare. Dorgon would not raise the matter of military affairs at all, because he knew that there was an ending of defeat but no victory.
Huang Taiji is still a very rational person. If he wants to raise an army to attack Ming just for his personal honor and disgrace, then he, the emperor, may not be able to do it. Calm down. How could he know that this was not a bait deliberately thrown out by the Ming court and angered himself to send troops? Although he already believed that this news was probably 99% true.
Silence, the king and his subordinates fell into the most terrifying silence. Time passed quietly from the gaps in his fingers bit by bit. Soon a thick red candle was burned out, and the flickering candle fire was about to go out. If no one changed it, the red candles in Chongzheng Hall would soon be extinguished one by one and return to darkness.
"Haoge, I'm asking you to keep a close eye on the movements of the Ming army on the front line of Jinzhou and Daling River. No matter how big or small, you must report to me." Huang Taiji said coldly.
"My son obeys the order." Haoge hurriedly said.
"Fourth brother!"
"I'm here!"
"I ordered you to speed up the stockpiling of food and grass and raise military pay. Within half a year, you must raise food and grass and military pay for more than half a year of fighting in the 500,000 army!"
"My brother accept the order!" Dorgon said quickly, and immediately thought about the intention of Huang Taiji's series of orders. One thing is certain that Huang Taiji will not immediately send troops to attack and the date of sending troops should be half a year later.
Dai Shan finally breathed a sigh of relief, thinking about getting Sahalin back quickly, so that he would not have to worry about fighting like this.
"Second brother, I asked you to guard the old city on my behalf, are you willing?" Huang Taiji's voice suddenly rang in Dai Shan's ears.
Dai Shan was stunned. The old city was the first capital established by Nurhaci in the Great Jin Kingdom. Haotusala City. Later, Nurhaci thought that Haotusala City was too small and not enough to be established as the capital of a country. He first moved the capital to Liaoyang, and then moved the capital to Chenyang, which is now Shengjing. He suddenly asked him to leave the prosperous and wealthy Shengjing to go to the old city where there were not many people and had to be with his ancestors. Dai Shan was a little reluctant, and it was equivalent to kicking himself out of the core of power of the Qing Dynasty. How could Dai Shan be willing to leave? So he declined: "Second brother, I am old and have not been in good health recently. I am exhausted all the way. I am afraid I will follow Ahma on the road. I also ask the emperor to remember that the old minister's old bones will last a few more years, so I will cover up the wind and rain for the Qing Dynasty, so that the old minister can stay."
"Who should I send to me according to my second brother's wish?"
"The twelfth brother Ajige, the old city is pure and suitable for recuperation. It is suitable for twelfth brother to go." Dai Shandao.
The importance of the old city is self-evident. How could Huang Taiji let Dorgon brothers guard it? Naturally, he disagreed. In the end, he asked the old seventh prince Rao Yumin Abatai to go to the old city.
As for Yuetuo, Huang Taiji ordered him to go to Liaoyang to hand over to Ajige immediately to take over Liaoyang's defense, and also issued an order to let the four uncles Tongda County Prince Yarhaqi guard Fushun.
