Chapter 23 5.calm

After Azige and Duoduo left, Prince Rui was still thinking about Hauge.At this moment, He Luo, who belongs to Zhenghuang Banner, will come to pay his respects. He Luohui once served as Zhenghuangqi's Gushan Ezhen, who was exposed for being greedy for meritorious service, and Huang Taiji demoted him to three ranks in a row. He Luohui was unwilling to lose his official position. In the future, he hoped to inherit the great reunification, so he often went to Hauge's family and listened to Hauge's orders. He didn't want to think that after Huang Taiji died of illness, the political situation in the court was reshuffled. Visit Prince Qi Rui's mansion.

"The Prince Regent has an auspicious new year." He Luohui approached Dorgon and made a respectful salute. Prince Rui understood that He Luohui in front of him was a villain and didn't like him at all, but he still forced a smile and stretched out his hand, signaling He Luohui to get up, saying: "He Luohui, it's so late, what must be the matter for you to come here?" He Luohui stood up and said in a low voice, "Your Highness is indeed shrewd, and he has something important to tell you right now." Dorgon was startled and said, "Really?" He Luohui said in a low voice, "My lord, there is movement over there."

Dorgon tilted his head, fixed his eyes on He Luohui, and said, "What's happening? So mysterious?" He Luohui pondered for a while, and glanced at both sides. Prince Rui understood, and hurriedly signaled a guard standing by the door to retreat, and then pointed to the lower chair. To put it plainly: "My lord, King Su—no, this kid Hauge is too inhuman." Then, He Luohui talked about the details. At the beginning of the new year, because Prince Rui and Prince Zheng are assisted by their uncles, and Prince Li is over sixty years old, so the Empress Dowager Xiaoduan has a decree that these three princes are exempted from kneeling and worshiping.Hauge was very dissatisfied with this edict of grace. After the court was dismissed, he uttered nonsense among the ministers, saying that they were all princes, why they couldn't be treated equally.

When Dorgon heard this, he couldn't help but smile slightly and said, "It's nothing, you still expect his dog to spit out ivory?" I don't want He Luo to say again: "Hao Ge is still cursing you at home on the first day of the Lunar New Year. What he said is really unsavory." Dorgon smiled lightly and said, "What are you scolding?" He Luohui hesitated, and said, "I can't even learn it." Dorgon knew his difficulties, and said, "Say, I'm sorry for your innocence." He Luohui then said: "On the first day of the Lunar New Year, he had just finished offering sacrifices to his son, and when he returned to the mansion, he cursed the prince fiercely, saying that the prince is not a blessed person, and he will die a bad life in the future."

Dorgon smiled and said, "You came here specially to report this to Gu?" He Luohui said, "No, there is one more thing that I find very suspicious." Dorgon said, "What's the matter?" He Luohui said: "Today, Yang Shan, the vice-captain of the Xianghuang Banner, went to Haoge's house. The two of them discussed something, and Yang Shan didn't come out until he was holding the lamp." This was a bit on point, Dorgon was vigilant, but he still pretended not to care and said: "Yangshan was originally a member of Haoge, and now he is the only one who remembers the old master, which is rare."

He Luo would say: "My lord, be careful, that Yang Shan is the most thoughtful person." Dorgon nodded and said, "Okay, He Luohui, you have to pay more attention, this king knows that you are someone who can do great things, and it will benefit you." He Luohui was praised by Prince Rui, and his face was immediately covered with a coquettish smile, but he wanted to say more, but Prince Rui seemed impatient, he waved his hand and said: "Do you have anything else to do? Kneel down if you're fine." He Luohui wanted to say something else, but seeing that the prince issued an order to evict the guests, he had no choice but to swallow the gracious words and leave in a hurry.

Hauge scolded him every day in the mansion, and Dorgon was not surprised by this news at all, because someone had told him about it long ago.He thought, if Hauge can only swear, this is not a bad thing, it shows that Hauge has no other ability, but Yang Shan, who is resourceful and decisive, often goes to Hauge's house, which can not but make Dorgon vigilant. But what bad idea could Yang Shan give him? These days, with the stability of the political situation in the DPRK and China, the people who originally followed Hauge have turned against each other. Even the capable ministers such as Sony and Obai have begun to move closer to him, and Hauge has finally been isolated. , then, what ability does he have, is he going to jump over the wall in a hurry?

Dorgon couldn't figure out why. Years ago when he was in Beijing, he had already heard the news that rogues occupied Chang'an and that Emperor Chongzhen demanded no soldiers and no pay.Soon, the Ordos Department of Inner Mongolia, which surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, also reported that the rogues who harassed the Central Plains had captured Chang'an. , its power has been connected with Ordos, a vassal state of the Qing Dynasty.The bandits are so rampant, the soldiers in the Ming Dynasty are short of pay, and there are no generals. Isn't this an excellent opportunity to lead troops into the pass and compete in the Central Plains?Seizing Beijing and destroying the Ming Dynasty is the goal pursued by Nurhachi and Huang Taiji. Dorgon has been thinking about this matter, but if Hauge is not resolved, Dorgon will not be able to settle down to think about the other end.

The next day, Duoduo came to the mansion again. Among the three brothers, Dorgon is the closest to Dodo, and Dodo also respects Dorgon the most, but both of them are not in harmony with Azig. This is not because of the age gap - Azige is only older than Dorgon three years old.Because Azige is greedy and short-sighted by nature, he often argues with others about trivial matters. Dorgon and Duoduo persuaded him several times, but he didn't believe him, so they all looked down on him, thinking that he had no ambitions. Now Duoduo came in, and when they met, he said, "Brother, are you going to parade tomorrow?"

Dorgon was taken aback, and said: "Isn't it, you will also go with the white flag when the time comes." Duoduo said again, "But in the East Campus?" Dorgon said: "That's right, it's all written on the notice board at the gate of the palace, and even the royal driver will come in person." Dodo said, "Can you take another route instead of that bridge?" Dorgon said: "Why, what did you hear?" Dodo shook his head and said, "I didn't hear anything, but I have a hunch that something will happen." When Dorgon heard this, he couldn't help looking at the brother from head to toe, and said, "Where did you start with this? Starting from my mansion, where can we go without taking the East Bridge? If we temporarily change to other routes, Not only will things go wrong, but people will laugh at them."

Dodo then told him Adai's libretto, and said: "Laita said that after this Adai went crazy, she had some spiritual powers, and could know the past and future, and several things were said by her. " When Dorgon heard him mention Adai, his heart tightened.He didn't want to see Adai, because he was afraid that he would think of Ah Lian after seeing her, but today Duo Duo's words could not but arouse his vigilance. Manchurians believe in ghosts and gods the most. Since Ah Lian's death, Dorgon He had dreamed of her many times, he thought, Adai's madness might be Ah Lian's possession, and who can say that this lyrics is not Ah Lian hinting at him?So he said: "If something happens, it must be Hauge, but it is impossible for him to cause a mutiny. He can't command the two yellow flags right now." Duoduo said: "If he doesn't engage in mutiny, he can use other methods. For example, he has raised a group of dogs to guard the house. Can he not bite people?" When Dorgon heard this, he couldn't help thinking and remained silent. Duoduo said: "Brother, you must not have the heart to harm others, and you must not have the heart to guard against others." Dorgon said: "You said, Adai mentioned the bridge?" Dodo said: "Yes, she didn't mention the bridge, and I can't think of the military parade." Dorgon thought for a while and said, "Or, just like this—" As he spoke, he whispered a few words in his brother's ear. Dodo nodded repeatedly.
