Ever since Gaizhou was defeated and returned, the countdown to the fall of the Qing Dynasty has begun!
Funing, the young emperor of the Qing Dynasty, was of course the candidate for the subjugation of the country. And his mother, the "chief culprit" of Gaizhou's defeat, Taisong Taisong, was even more determined to surrender to the Ming Dynasty. Taisong had even asked people to prepare coffins and prison clothes for him and Funing. Although she was still prepared to rely on Shenyang Jiancheng and 30,000 households to bargain with Zhu Youjian. But no matter what the result is, she will give Zhu Youjian a performance of barefoot and self-restraint, to satisfy Zhu Youjian's desire to conquer - through the exchange of letters with her sister Wu Liangha, Tai Song has already You know Zhu Youjian is good at this one!
And in Tai Song's opinion, this kind of performance is not a big deal... because she was caught once by Huang Taiji, so why not do it again now? Moreover, Zhu Youjian is really a hero and invincible in the world. Tai Song likes such a hero from the bottom of his heart.
But the little emperor Funing doesn't like Zhu Youjian at all!
Although he is only 13 years old this year, he already knows a lot, including things between men and women (Manchu dignitaries in this era all married early), and he also knows that his mother will never be put in a coffin after she surrenders. The coffin that Queen Taisong prepared for herself was just for show.
But the coffin Taisong prepared for him, Funing, was not necessarily a show-off!
Although Zhu Youjian treated Chahar's Ezhe kindly, Funing knew that he and Ezhe were completely different... Although Zhu Youjian and Lindan Batur once met each other at war, they soon It turns the conflict into peace, so Ezhe is Zhu Youjian's nephew.
But Zhu Youjian and Huang Taiji have always been mortal enemies!
Therefore, Zhu Youjian can be kind to Ezhe, but he will definitely not be kind to Funing. Even if he is not killed quietly, he will be forcibly sent to a temple to be ordained and become a monk - Funing has already told his son about the possibility of becoming a monk. . Not only Funing will become a monk, but Funing's half-brother (Daishan's son) and two half-brothers (excluding Hauge) will also become monks together.
Only in this way can you save your life and live your life without any worries.
The territory and households that Taisong received after surrender will be inherited by the son born to Taisong and Zhu Youjian... If he cannot be born, the son of Concubine Wu Liangha will inherit.
In short, everything has nothing to do with Funing. Funing can just recite sutras with peace of mind!
But when Taisong planned the future for his son, he didn't consider his son's feelings - Funing didn't believe in Buddhism! He doesn't want to be a monk either. As a monk, he can't eat meat or hold hands with flower girls. How boring is that?
However, Funing didn't dare to do anything in front of E Niang, so he had to suppress his anger. Funing also saw his son's dissatisfaction, so he asked Hai Fugui to take care of Funing, Ye Bushu and Shuosei.
On the day that Taisong envoy captured Hauge, she even ordered Funing, Ye Bushu and Shuosei to move into the Phoenix Tower in the palace, and also asked Hai Fugui to take dozens of armed eunuchs to guard him.
Funing, Ye Bushu and Shuosei all knew that something was going to happen, so no one had any intention of chanting. They all stood at a window on the third floor of the Phoenix Tower and looked around.
When the noisy sound was faintly heard, the three brothers all sighed. Suddenly, Funing seemed to hear something and stared southward.
Not long after, the chaotic sounds of shouting and fighting seemed to erupt, exploding around the Forbidden City in Shenyang City and reaching into the sky. Funing stretched out his ears and listened for a moment. Faintly, he heard someone shouting in Manchurian: "Put your clothes on and bring an edict to punish thieves...Kill the Queen Mother, save the Emperor, and protect the Qing Dynasty!"
Kill the Queen Mother, save the Emperor, and protect the Qing Dynasty!
When Funing heard this shout, he actually felt refreshed!
"Kill the Queen Mother, save the Emperor, and protect the Qing Dynasty!"
The shouts were getting louder and louder, filled with murderous intent, and came overwhelmingly. It was not tens of thousands of people shouting, but tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people shouting!
The whole of Shenyang seemed to be shouting.
The shouts and shouts made the three brothers Funing, Ye Bushu and Shuosei feel their hearts trembling. It also made the eunuchs guarding the three brothers downstairs in Phoenix feel panicked.
Funing turned around suddenly, strode towards the stairs, and started walking down one level at a time. Ye Bushu and Shuo Sai glanced at each other and quickly followed. The three brothers quickly walked down the stairs to the bottom of the Phoenix Tower. Tai Song's confidant Hai Fugui was milling around there, holding a sword in his hand. When the eunuch saw Funing descending the stairs in a menacing manner, he immediately became confused and at a loss.
The Queen Mother only asked him to look at Funing, but she didn't ask him to kill Funing!
And now the whole city of Shenyang is in chaos! Not only the people from Manchuria with the yellow flag brought by Hauge were making a fuss, but also the bannermen and their family members of the Manchuria with the Zhenghuang Banner were also making a fuss - most of these bannermen and family members of the Manchuria with the Zhenghuang Banner originally lived in farmsteads in the countryside. Only a few Manchus who served as officials in Shenyang would make their homes in the city. However, after the defeat of Qinghe, in order to strengthen control of Zhenghuang Banner in Manchuria, Taisong ordered all the Manchus living in Shenyang Chenggangzhuang to enter the city. This is a big group of people! There are now 25 Niulu in Zhenghuang Banner, with more than 6,000 households under its jurisdiction and a population of no less than 40,000.
These people had long been dissatisfied with Empress Dowager Taisong's policy of emphasizing Mongolia and clothing over Manchuria. The various actions of Empress Dowager Taisong after the defeat of Gaizhou made these nationalities close to the Qing Dynasty feel that they were in danger of being abandoned.
Moreover, after they entered Shenyang, they heard the legend that the Queen Mother Taisong was preparing to surrender to Zhu Youjian, and they also learned that the young emperor Funing had been placed under house arrest by the Queen Mother.
Therefore, these bannermen from Zhenghuang Banner Manchuria and their family members have been gearing up for a fight with the Queen Mother Taisong.
And as soon as Hauge's men with yellow flags were activated, the yellow flag Manchuria in Shenyang City also boiled, just like dry wood meeting a fierce fire, and a fire suddenly burst into the sky.
Under such circumstances, how could a eunuch like Hai Fugui dare to kill Funing?
"Bold slave, you won't kneel down when you see the emperor!" Ye Bushu, who followed Funing downstairs, shouted.
Hai Fugui, who was used to being a slave, suddenly felt weak in his calves and knelt down in front of Funing.
Funing was so brave now that he actually took a few steps forward to Hai Fugui, grabbed the sword, and then pulled out the sword with a clang, pointing it at Hai Fugui, as if he wanted to kill someone.
"Your Majesty, spare your life, it's all because of the Queen Mother forcing this old slave...ah!" Before Hai Fugui could finish his words of blame, he let out a scream, and the sword had already been inserted into his chest!
Funing killed someone!
The little eunuchs who followed Hai Fugui saw the 13-year-old little emperor committing murder and splattering blood on his face. They were so frightened that they almost lost their souls and ran away screaming.
The three Funing brothers did not chase them, but strode towards the palace gate. The person guarding the palace gate now should be the Manchurian Zhengyang Banner White Bay Yala led by Tan Tai.
If Funing can grasp this power in his hands, he will have the ability to protect himself. In this way, we can go to the Xiaoqi Camp in Shenyang City to mobilize the red armor soldiers there...if they have not yet been involved in the Shenyang Rebellion.
If all the white-armored and red-armored soldiers of the Zhenghuang Banner are in hand, Funing can take back the power and rule himself!
Thinking of pro-government, working hard to govern, and displaying his ambitions, Funing's heart was so excited that he almost jogged all the way to the palace gate.
His two brothers, Ye Bushu and Shuosei, were both older than him and naturally more mature. They knew that they needed to win more people, so they helped to call people along the way.
"The Emperor is going to kill the Queen Mother! The Emperor is going to take charge of the government! Anyone who wants to make meritorious deeds should follow me!"
With such a shout, dozens of people gathered together and arrived at the palace gate together. The palace gate had long been closed. Inside the gate stood a group of white-armored soldiers wearing cotton armor, holding spears, and carrying swords and bows. They were all at a loss. Baya Lazhangjing Tan Tai was also there, in a daze like everyone else.
Suddenly he saw Funing, Ye Bushu and Shuosei running towards him with a group of eunuchs and maids. As they ran, someone shouted: "The Emperor is going to kill the Queen Mother! The Emperor is going to take charge of the government himself! Those who want to make meritorious deeds" Come along, everyone!"
Now Tan Tai panicked and began to think - it turns out that the chaos in Shenyang City today was instigated by the emperor! That Hauge turned out to be an accomplice of the emperor!
No, I have to quickly switch sides and support the emperor...
