Without Hai Lanzhu's precautions, Huang Taiji's old blood sprayed directly on her body, even on her face. Then, the whole person slumped there, motionless.
At this time, Hai Lanzhu was stunned, while the others were frightened, shouting "Your Majesty, Your Majesty" and rushed to save Huang Taiji.
Hai Lanzhu was pushed aside and looked at everything in front of him blankly. He did not wipe the blood on his face and body, but muttered to himself, "Your Majesty... Your Majesty..."
A group of concubines outside the palace also panicked when they heard the noise. Only Bumu Butai was greatly relieved after hearing this.
The emperor must not be angry again, so the effect this time should be very good, right?
After a long time, Huang Taiji regained consciousness, but he was speechless.
At this time, the imperial doctor warned in a very serious tone: "The emperor really can't be angry anymore!"
As he spoke, he knelt down to Huang Taiji, kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty, the dragon body is so important that I really can't vomit blood anymore!"
Everyone has seen the serious consequences of vomiting blood.
Huang Taiji looked at Hai Lanzhu, who was standing there blankly with tears streaming down his face, and sighed in his heart.
He did not blame Hai Lanzhu, but felt sorry for Hai Lanzhu, keeping him in the dark but not knowing. How could that Bumu Butai be such an outspoken person? As a sister, you don’t even know that she is taking advantage of you.
He wanted to deal with Bumbutai, but he knew that Hailanzhu would definitely interfere with his plea for mercy. If he insists on having his own way, Hai Lanzhu's body may not be able to bear it. He wants to explain it clearly to her, but he doesn't have the energy.
Thinking of this, Huang Taiji sighed again in his heart, thinking that he would wait until he recovered from the disease. At that time, with her Bu Mu Butai, she would not be able to turn out the palm of her hand no matter what.
Feeling very tired, Huang Taiji looked at Hai Lanzhu with a slight apology and pity, then closed his eyes.
When the eunuch on the side saw it, he started to drive people away. At this time, no one could affect Huang Taiji's rest.
Hai Lanzhu was no exception. She also left the palace, but she seemed to have not recovered yet. Her mind was filled with the tragic scene of Huang Taiji vomiting blood. She was so lost that she didn't know how to return to her palace in the end.
As soon as these concubines left, a joint memorial was delivered to Chongzheng Hall. This was a state-related matter that I couldn't afford to delay, so I finally reported to Huang Taiji.
Although Huang Taiji was seriously ill, he still had sense and knew that he must not be angry again. The most important thing for you is to take good care of your body first.
With this in mind, he made a decree that major affairs in the court would be discussed by several princes, and finally he would be reported to the imperial court. In addition, Dorgon was officially released and no longer had to be imprisoned in the clan's mansion, but he also had no real power. Just be able to participate in the proceedings. In addition, a decree was issued to summon Hauge, who had previously gone to the important town of Liaoyang to take charge, back to Shengjing.
After this decree was issued, the first most important thing for the Manchu Qing Dynasty was to call back Prince Li and the three thousand Qing soldiers. Everything related to this was quickly prepared.
…………
North of Shengjing, on the Songliao Plain, where Tieling is located, Kong Youde, the obedient king, was thrown here by Huang Taiji and asked to open up wasteland and farm.
At this time, Kong Youde was alone in the lobby, looking blankly at the things placed on the table.
After a long time, he suddenly murmured to himself: "I didn't expect you to really want to go back to Ming Dynasty. Oh, I really didn't expect it!"
That's right, the thing on the table is Geng Zhongming's head that Huang Taiji specially sent to him.
Although Geng Zhongming and Kong Youde complained a lot when they met in private, Kong Youde never expected that Geng Zhongming would really want to return to the Ming Dynasty? Didn't I say that the Qing Dynasty gave a king with a different surname, but the Ming Dynasty would not receive such treatment at all.
Slowly reaching out and touching Geng Zhongming's head, Kong Youde sighed and said: "You are so stupid! How can it be so easy to return to the Ming Dynasty? It doesn't mean whether the emperor will settle the accounts afterwards. Just after returning, How can the two of us cope with the impeachment attack by those censors? You know, the Qing Dynasty’s firearms were brought here by just the two of us!"
Geng Zhongming's head was motionless, and only Kong Youde was talking to himself.
"Although I dreamed about Mao Shuai and the others, I didn't want to go back to the Ming Dynasty because of this, right? When I meet Mao Shuai one day, maybe Mao Shuai will also be very resentful towards the Ming Dynasty! He has been fighting for the Ming Dynasty in Liaodong all his life. In the end, he died at the hands of his own people.”
"The emperor has taken away your title, so at least you can have enough food and clothing. Just farm, and you don't have to fight in battle. What's wrong with that?"
"Aren't you the most rational person all along? Why do you suddenly want to go back to Ming Dynasty?"
"..."
Huang Taiji sent Geng Zhongming's head to warn him, but of course he would not tell him the details. Just tell him that Geng Zhongming tried to betray the Qing Dynasty and was killed because of it!
Confronted with Geng Zhongming's head, Kong Youde said a lot. Later, he thought about the last time they met and the scene where the two said goodbye. Unexpectedly, it was really the last time they met, and when they met again, they were separated by life and death.
From now on, there will be no brother in the world with whom I can speak my mind!
Thinking of this, Kong Youde burst into tears. He could only cry silently when there was no one in the lobby! After a while, Geng Zhongming's head was hung on the city wall for three days.
Of course Kong Youde was not stupid and knew what Huang Taiji meant by sending Geng Zhongming's head. However, he had no intention of betraying the Manchus, so he did not feel panic, just sad.
He knew that there must be Huang Taiji's eyes and ears in the city, watching his reaction. It's been long enough now and can't stand still any longer.
"What happened this time was because you were impulsive! No matter what, the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty pays more attention to us after all. A scholar dies for his confidant. I hope you will be reincarnated in the Taiping Era in the next life!"
After saying this, Kong Youde no longer hesitated and issued an order to hang Geng Zhongming's head on the top of the city to show the public.
Kong Youde's men also had mixed emotions after seeing Geng Zhongming's head. They couldn't figure out why Geng Zhongming betrayed the Qing Dynasty. Wouldn't it be great to be in the Qing Dynasty? Is it really true that you serve your enemy and your conscience can't bear it?
They don't believe this. In such troubled times, those with a conscience would have died long ago, and those who broke out from the mountains of corpses and seas of blood would care about this. If you dream about it, treat it as a nightmare. When you wake up, you will be fine. Just live your life like this!
When I was in the Ming Dynasty, I used my life to work for the imperial court and fought against Jianlu, but the imperial court never paid attention to it? If it weren't for Marshal Mao, I'm afraid they would all starve to death. Haha, the troops who are fighting for the imperial court are going to starve to death. It's really the funniest joke in the world!
When Geng Zhongming returns to the Ming Dynasty, even if the court does not pursue his betrayal of the Ming Dynasty, will he still be prosperous and wealthy? Can I still keep my fate and settle the score later?
Geng Zhongming, you are so stupid!
Most of the former Dongjiang Army people in Tieling City had this idea. No one wanted to betray the Qing Dynasty like Geng Zhongming!
A few days later, several fast horses came galloping over. Wearing a yellow mandarin jacket, one could tell at a glance that he was someone from the palace.
From the time Huang Taiji sent Geng Zhongming's head over, he knew that he was very dissatisfied with him. Kong Youde knew this well, so when he heard the news that a yellow mantle was coming, he didn't dare to be careless and rushed to the city gate as soon as possible. In normal times, with his surname as a king, there would be no need to come out of the city just for a few palace guards.
At this time, Kong Youde didn't have the awareness to be a king with a different surname at all. When he saw the yellow mantle approaching, he quickly greeted him with a smile, regardless of the dust blowing in his face.
Unexpectedly, the leader in the yellow mantle didn't care about him. He just raised his head, pointed his hand and said loudly: "Quick, take it off quickly!"
Kong Youde heard the sound and saw that he was pointing to Geng Zhongming's head. He thought that Huang Taiji had specially sent them to check whether the head belonged to Geng Zhongming, so he quickly explained: "The emperor is famous, and the ministers will never dare to It’s against the law. That head is indeed Geng Zhongming’s.”
The men behind him also nodded quickly to prove that the head was indeed Geng Zhongming's.
However, the man in the yellow mantle ignored Kong Youde's explanation at all. He looked a little anxious and shouted sternly: "Didn't you hear that? Take it off quickly!"
A mere guard went berserk in front of a prince. However, Kong Youde had no choice but to ask the people on the top of the city to untie the rope and lower it.
When the man in the yellow mantle saw him, he immediately jumped off his horse, and in a few steps he reached the box where the head was placed. He picked up the box and began to look at it.
Many days have passed since Geng Zhongming's head was sent from Phoenix Castle to Shengjing and then to Tieling. Although the weather is cold and it has been treated with lime or something, the original appearance is still a bit unrecognizable.
At this sight, Huang Magua's brows wrinkled, and he immediately turned to Kong Youde and said, "This is Geng Zhongming's head, right?"
Sure enough, he came to verify this head, Kong Youde said in his heart, and nodded quickly: "Indeed!"
"Okay, then write a letter and guarantee that this is Geng Zhongming's head!" Upon hearing this, Huang Magua immediately ordered.
As soon as he said this, Kong Youde was a little stupid. He didn't expect that he was asked to write a letter to prove how much he didn't believe him!
As the saying goes, clay figures have three points of temper. Kong Youde was unreasonably suspected by Huang Taiji and was transferred from the front line of Jinzhou to Tieling to farm in the rear. His good brother was first deprived of the title of king, and then lost his life. His head was also sent to him. If he had no objection in his heart, then It's impossible.
At this time, he repeatedly explained that this was Geng Zhongming's head, and so many of his subordinates also proved that it was Geng Zhongming's head. However, the palace guard still didn't believe it. Did he really think that he could bully him casually?
Then, Kong Youde took off his official hat, exposed his money rat tail, straightened his neck and replied: "I, Kong, have always deceived people when I said it, and I have proven it over and over again and still don't believe it, so this prince shouldn't do it. If you please return this crown to the emperor, then you will say that I, Mr. Kong, am incompetent and cannot be the prince of the Qing Dynasty!"
The yellow mantle was stunned for a moment by what he said. He quickly came to his senses. There was a misunderstanding. He quickly explained: "The prince misunderstood. It's not that the emperor doesn't believe you. The letter you wrote is for the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty to read." Yes, the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty must believe that this head belongs to Geng Zhongming!"
"..." As soon as I heard this, it was like listening to a book from heaven. Although I understood the literal meaning, Kong Youde and others were just stupid and couldn't understand the meaning at all!
After a while, Kong Youde came back to his senses and questioned with confusion on his face: "You mean, this head is going to be sent to the Ming Dynasty? You want to tell the Ming Dynasty emperor that Geng Zhongming betrayed the Qing Dynasty and has been betrayed by the Qing Dynasty. Has Qing been executed?"
Huang Magua estimated that if he didn't explain clearly, Kong Youde would keep asking questions. Indeed, if people who don’t know hear this, they will definitely not believe it.
Therefore, he immediately replied: "No, the Ming Emperor led the army to capture Jinzhou and wanted to exchange the lives of Prince Li and three thousand Qing soldiers in exchange for the bodies of Chen Shaozong's mother, Geng Zhongming and Geng Jimao!"
"Ah..." This sound was made by Kong Youde and his men almost at the same time.
For them, this news was more unbelievable than the news they had just heard about writing a letter to the Ming Emperor to prove that the head belonged to Geng Zhongming: the Ming Emperor led the army to capture Jinzhou, and wanted to use Prince Li and the Third Prince. The lives of thousands of Qing soldiers were exchanged for the bodies of Chen Shaozong’s mother, Geng Zhongming and Geng Jimao!
This...this...how is this possible!
Who is Geng Zhongming, who is Chen Shaozong, and that Geng Jimao. Don't be too familiar with Kong Youde and others. Naturally, you know how important they are?
In their opinion, the value of Prince Li Daishan alone was far greater than those of these three people. What's more, there are still three thousand Qing soldiers! How could the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty exchange the lives of Prince Li and three thousand Qing soldiers for these three people, and one of them was dead!
To be honest, even though they heard it clearly, they still found it incredible and couldn't believe it.
Seeing their appearance, Huang Magua had no choice but to explain: "Geng Zhongming was originally ordered to lure the Dongjiang Army ashore, but he turned out to be a fake and really wanted to betray the Qing Dynasty. His son Geng Jimao found out and reported him and died, and then he could only Chen Shaozong's mother was detained and asked to continue to lure the Dongjiang Army ashore. As a result, the Dongjiang Army did not come and Jinzhou fell. The three thousand cavalry army was wiped out. Prince Li and the remaining three thousand Qing soldiers were captured by the Ming army. Subsequently , the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty made this exchange request."
At this point, it was almost time to explain, and the yellow mantle stressed: "It concerns the life of Prince Li, and the fate of Prince Heshuocheng. We must not fail to meet the requirements of the Emperor of Ming Dynasty! You are Geng Zhongming's best brother, Hurry up and write a letter to prove it!"
Kong Youde was a little confused. He didn't expect that the truth of the matter was like this. While he was shocked, he didn't even notice why it was Yue Tuo's request and not Huang Taiji's request.
