The Kurun people are closest to Liaodong, so they were the first to arrive. Before that, there was a quick horse to inform Jianlu.
When the guard at Jianlu Border Gate heard this, he immediately reported to Shengjing.
"What?" Yue Tuo, who had already returned, was immediately surprised when he heard this, "The Kulun tribe was not exterminated by the Ming army and did not kill anyone? Isn't it a blood debt to be paid with blood?"
In their view, if the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty raids the grassland, and the Kulen people are as close as they are, they will definitely be destroyed. And they are not deaf. Naturally, they heard that when the Ming army wiped out the Urad tribe and the Chahar tribe, they threatened to pay with blood.
Duduo also felt a little strange and said, "Could it be that the Cullen tribe was lucky enough to escape?"
Dorgon, who was presiding over the meeting, frowned and turned to Bumbutai and said: "The minister thought that Ying'erdai could be sent to comfort him nearby. Important matters in the palace are the top priority of our Qing Dynasty. Don’t be distracted!”
Bumbutai nodded and said: "What Prince Rui said is absolutely true. This traitor in our Qing Dynasty must be found out first. Only in this way can we have a chance of winning against the Ming Kingdom in the future!"
She still understands this truth. For example, if she has someone around Huang Taiji, she will know exactly what he is doing. Whether it is fighting for favor or taking Huang Taiji's life, it will not be too difficult. This is also true when it comes to the war between the two countries.
Upon hearing her words, the faces of the other princes suddenly darkened. They sent someone to call them back, and then Dorgon turned out to be in charge and began to investigate the leak. Invisibly, Dorgon became superior to the princes, which made them very unhappy.
However, when Daishan made the plan, including the subsequent events, Dorgon did not participate. And the matter has been leaked, at least Dorgon can rule it out. It really makes sense for him to take charge of verifying the leak. But, I just feel unhappy!
They were unhappy, but Dorgon was happy. With Bumbutai's consent, he immediately sent an order for Ying'erdai, who was good at foreign affairs, to rush to Changshan, the border gate, to appease the Kulun people. As for the follow-up matters, let’s wait until we have a clear idea of what’s going on here.
After Ying Erdai left, Dorgon glanced at the princes in the palace, then stared at Yue Tuo and asked: "After leaving the hall, where did you go and who did you tell this matter?" , if anyone around you heard it, please tell the truth!"
After all, no matter how much they thought about it, they never thought that the people present would leak the secret. Instead, they suspected that after the people present left, they accidentally told the news to others and leaked the secret.
However, even so, it was still a shame to be questioned by Dorgon like this. Yue Tuo said with a cold face: "I am not a three-year-old child, so how can I tell outsiders about such a major military and national event? "
Dorgon listened, but did not let him go. Instead, he continued to say seriously: "This matter is related to the fate of the Qing Dynasty. If the leaker is not found, the Qing Dynasty will be destroyed. Who can bear such heavy responsibility?" Can people afford it? You'd better think carefully and don't miss it. Later, I will ask the people in your house separately, so don't let any embarrassing situation happen!"
Feeling very harsh, Yue Tuo's face became very ugly, and he suddenly said loudly: "Why don't you ask Duduo first, check him first?"
Upon hearing this, Duduo suddenly shouted to him loudly: "I am your uncle, please call me by my first name. Do you have a tutor?"
When Daishan heard this, his already gloomy face suddenly became even gloomier!
"It's about the fate of the Qing Dynasty. Seniority and everything are trivial matters!" Yue Tuo couldn't bear to give in and immediately said tit for tat, "If you ask me, the most likely thing is that someone in your house leaked the secret. If you are confident, why not Be verified first?”
After hearing this, Duduo became furious, and a quarrel broke out in Chongzheng Hall.
The dozing little emperor Fulin was woken up. Seeing this scene, he yawned and continued to close his eyes, trying to dream again. After all, he has seen many noisy scenes like this, so it’s no wonder!
But Bumbutai couldn't ignore it. She had a headache. If the argument continued like this, there would be no result at all. So, she had no choice but to open her mouth and try to persuade him. As a result, even Hauge was affected. Several people were arguing with loud voices, and no one heard her at all. In other words, even if they heard it, they pretended not to hear it.
So, just like that, at the end of the day, there was no result. However, Dorgon seized this opportunity to dominate other princes, and naturally he would not give up just like that. Using the excuse of the Qing Dynasty's national destiny, he would definitely ask to continue tomorrow.
Bumbutai really had a headache. She didn't expect that after becoming the Queen Mother, she would have so many things to worry about!
Just as she was thinking about it, suddenly, a chamberlain came to report that Prince Rui wanted to see him.
This surprised Bumbutai. Didn't they all leave? Why did they come back?
She was better at fighting for power, and immediately smelled something familiar to her. At the same time, she also wanted to see what Dorgon was talking about, so she issued an order to summon him.
"I believe the Queen Mother has also seen what happened in the past few days." Dorgon said with a helpless and sad expression, "Now is the difficult time of the Qing Dynasty, but the kings have different opinions when discussing politics, which is not beneficial to the country!"
When Bumbutai heard this, she frowned immediately. She guessed what Dorgon wanted, but she did not reveal it. Instead, she pretended not to know and said: "But now the emperor is young and cannot rule personally. !”
After hearing this, Dorgon had to speak out: "We think that when the country is facing such a crisis, the Qing Dynasty should work together to overcome the difficulties. In this case, the Qing Dynasty must have one person in charge to avoid causing bad things. Your Majesty If you are young, you can choose a wise and talented person among the kings to be the regent and take charge of the government!"
At this point, he saw Bumbutai's beautiful eyebrows frowning, and immediately added: "Although the regent oversees the affairs of the court, when the emperor grows up, he will naturally return the government to the emperor. This matter will be supervised by the kings. Deny it and discuss it together!"
Hearing this, Bumbutai felt a little more comfortable, but for her, she was not happy after all. If a regent is appointed to take charge of the government, then she, the queen mother, will not be able to listen to the government from behind the curtain, and the power in her hands will belong to the regent.
Of course she also heard that Dorgon wanted to be the regent, but she pretended not to know and just ignored it. In the end, Dorgon returned disappointed.
The next day, the quarrel continued in Chongzheng Hall.
However, after a while, Dorgon suddenly said: "No matter what happens, we must get to the bottom of this matter! In addition, there is another matter that is urgent. You should take a look at it together and get a charter together!"
Several princes were relieved when they heard that Dorgon had temporarily given up on checking the leaker.
"A lot of grain fields were destroyed by the Dongjiang Cavalry this time, and there is no time to replant them. How will we survive this winter?" Dorgon looked at them and asked.
As soon as this question was raised, several princes who just thought their voices were not loud enough immediately closed their mouths and fell silent.
Dorgon looked at it and sneered in his heart, and then said: "Also, this large-scale invasion by the Ming army also brought another serious consequence, that is, there were many escaped slaves, which seriously affected our Qing labor force. This matter should be How to solve it?"
"..." The people in the hall continued to remain silent.
"There is also the deployment of our Qing army. How can we effectively prevent the Ming army's offensive? And the Ming army's firearms. How can we, the Qing Dynasty, defeat them? How can we ensure that the Qing Dynasty will not suffer a loss in the next war?"
"..."
Questions were thrown out one after another, and the only voice in the Chongzheng Hall was Dorgon. The others all looked at their noses with their eyes and their hearts with their noses, and became a clay Bodhisattva.
Bumbutai's forehead hurts. There are so many problems. What should we do?
As she was thinking, Dorgon looked at Daishan and asked, "Prince Li has the most experience and the highest qualifications. What do you think?"
Dai Shan sighed in his heart. These problems were difficult for even Huang Taiji. How could he possibly be able to solve them? Dorgon came to ask himself, wasn't he here to embarrass himself?
Thinking like this, he showed his twilight state and replied: "I am old and my brain is confused. I just feel sleepy all day long. I can't do it anymore..."
That's all. Dorgon didn't wait for him to finish speaking. He turned to look at Hauge and asked him the same question.
"How do I know?" Hauge answered simply and immediately.
So Dorgon turned to Azig.
"Don't look at me. I didn't sleep well last night and my mind is still confused!" Azig's answer was similar.
Dorgon sneered in his heart, cursed a waste in his mind, and then looked at Yue Tuo again.
"These matters are all important and must be considered carefully. It is not possible to tell them in detail at this time!" Yue Tuo's answer seemed to be a little more fig leaf.
Bumubutai listened to their answers, and needless to say, he was very disappointed with them all.
So, she looked at Dorgon who was taking the lead, and thought to herself, could he have a countermeasure?
She was familiar with this kind of intrigue, and she immediately guessed that Dorgon's sudden change of subject should be to let her see that the other princes were not capable enough, and that only he, Dorgon, could be the regent. The only way out for the Qing Dynasty.
Although he figured this out first, Bumubutai still didn't want to do it. So, she turned to look at the remaining Duduo, wondering how Duduo would answer?
But at this moment, hurried footsteps were heard outside the palace. In the blink of an eye, a chamberlain appeared at the door of the palace, holding a memorial in his hand and reporting: "Changshan urgently reports!"
Upon hearing this, everyone in Chongzheng Hall suddenly had a bad feeling. Anyway, there has been no good news in this period of time.
Dorgon strode over and took the emergency report before the other princes could react.
"Did Ying Erdai mess up the errand?" When Yue Tuo saw this, he guessed with a little annoyance, "What are you good at foreign affairs? It's all nonsense, Sony should be allowed to do it!"
Ying Erdai is considered to be on the side of Dorgon and Duduo, and he doesn't mind taking the opportunity to step on them. The son he mentioned was called Hesheli-Soni. He was proficient in Manchu, Mongolian and Chinese characters. He was also a famous person. At this time, he was a member of the literary library, a first-class bodyguard, and his status was only slightly lower than that of Obai.
Dorgon had already read the emergency report and happened to hear Yue Tuo's complaint, so he said coldly: "You still blame Ying Erdai? This matter will be difficult for anyone to deal with! See for yourselves..."
After he finished speaking, he did not give the urgent report to Yue Tuo, who had reached out his hand, but to Dai Shan, who was tired.
While Daishan was watching, Dorgon continued: "The Kulun tribe is not satisfied with the food, nor is it satisfied with being surrounded by Changshan. But this is not the most important thing. Now that the grassland exploration horses have arrived, it is said that the Horqin tribe is also Like the Kulun tribe, the Ming Kingdom did not kill the old, weak, women and children, and now the whole clan is about to arrive. And there is not so much food to entertain on the Changshan side. If the prediction is correct, the insidious Emperor of the Ming Kingdom, It is very likely that other tribes will be treated in this way. By then, we don’t know how many tribes will come to ask for help..."
At this point, he paused, then emphasized his tone: "I don't have enough food in the Qing Dynasty. This winter is going to be difficult. Now, there are tens of thousands more mouths. Just with his Ying Erdai, he can still How can we solve this kind of thing? Those of you who are dissatisfied, can you possibly solve this matter?"
"..." Suddenly, several princes turned into clay bodhisattvas again and pretended not to hear anything.
Bumbutai was extremely worried after hearing this. Only then did she truly understand how difficult the predicament facing the Qing Dynasty was!
Looking at the affairs in the palace, Dorgon is in charge. The other princes are either old and useless, or brave and unintelligent, and they cannot bear the heavy responsibility of the Qing Dynasty. But I have seen their ability to argue.
Thinking like this, Bumbutai began to consider Dorgon's suggestion for the first time, setting up a regent to take charge of the government, so as to lead the Qing Dynasty through the current difficulties.
In the end, it was difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without rice, and no one could think of a good way. Dorgon didn't say anything, and the day passed like this.
The next day, the six kings continued to discuss politics, but there was still no good solution.
Under Bumubutai's urging, the six princes began to emphasize that they were facing difficulties. Anyway, this matter was difficult to handle!
Bumbutai was really anxious. She had carefully observed that the other princes really had no good solution, but Dorgon should have a solution. But he didn't say anything, obviously he was waiting for conditions.
When she began to hesitate about this matter, there was once again the sound of hurried footsteps outside the palace, which made her very annoying, and the eunuch's high-pitched voice: "Report, the eight hundred miles long mountain is urgent!"
"..." Upon hearing that it was urgent at 800 miles, the Chongzheng Hall couldn't help but become very quiet!
It’s always a 800-mile rush, and it never ends!
Shengjing has been unable to provide a solution for a long time. After the Horqin tribe arrived in Changshan, something happened.
They all say that they dare to pull the emperor off his horse after drinking. Today, the grassland tribes on the Changshan Mountain are about to faint from hunger. It doesn’t matter whether you are a Qing Dynasty or not. Together, these tribes have tens of thousands of cavalry. No matter what the food is, just grab it yourself!
