Chapter 132 Sharpening
The heavy snow covered the gilded palace tiles.
This is the fourth or fifth snow event in Beijing.
In the Mingjian in the middle of Yangxin Hall, the emperor's throne was placed, but at this time the gate of Yangxin Hall was closed, and there was a gate open where the East Warehouse Pavilion was originally a wall.
There is also a throne in the East Warehouse Pavilion, which is a little larger than the throne in the main hall.
Dorgon leaned on the throne, looking at the heavy snow outside the door, his eyes were blurred and he fell into deep thought.
Although he has been awarded the title of "Uncle Uncle Regent", this title will only remind himself at all times that he is not the emperor, but the emperor is the blessing.
Everything was because four years ago, when he was competing for the throne with Hauge, he had to compromise and support Huang Taiji's ninth son Fulin as emperor.
In short, Emperor Shunzhi was only ten years old after this winter.
While thinking, a group of mermaids entered in a row, bowed and stood in front of the throne. The leader scolded the eunuch beside him, "Damn it, the door is not covered, I'm cold, my 14th brother wants your head."
Dorgon came back from his thoughts and saw that it was Ajige who brought people in, "I want to see the snow scene and let them open it."
Azig smiled and said, "The Regent wants to see the snow scene, which is not as good as Shengjing."
Dorgon said, "Old Twelve, do you have any good news? I see that you are always happy when you enter the door."
Ajige didn't hide it, "There is good news, Haoge is dead!"
Dorgon was surprised, "Haoge died? How did he die?"
Ajig looked at the outsider, "Come in!"
Soon a figure walked in quickly and knelt in front of Dorgon's throne, "Slave Nikan, come to the emperor's uncle, regent!"
Dorgon said, "Tell me quickly, why did Haoge die?"
Nikan said, "The emperor's uncle, the regent, forgive the crime. A month ago, the thieves attacked Tongguan in a hurry. The slaves led their troops to support him. Unexpectedly, a bandit soldier broke out from Ziwu Valley, and Prince Su and two thousand soldiers in the city died together."
If Haoge hadn't fought with him, the throne would have been Dorgon's possession. When he heard Haoge died, Dorgon felt extremely happy, but the pleasure flashed away.
Only the alive opponent is the opponent, Dorgon is the regent, and he gets the hatred in his heart, and instead thinks of a more realistic question, "Is Guanzhong lost?"
Nikan said, “Yes!”
Dorgon said, "Then why are you still alive? The person who came was dragged out and beheaded!"
Ajig said, "The Regent is not allowed. Nikan is his own person, how can he kill our people because of Hauge?"
Dorgon said, "How can one not be punished for losing the prince and losing Guanzhong? Such a crime of destroying the power of our Qing army?"
Nikan said, "Prince Su ordered his slaves to lead troops to support Tongguan. At that time, the Ziwu Valley had already been blocked by heavy snow. Unexpectedly, bandits rushed out. When the slave returned to Xi'an, Prince Su was already killed. The slave knew that he could not escape and died. He asked the emperor's uncle, the regent, to allow me to be buried back to Liaodong after death."
Dorgon said, "Accurate!"
Nikan verbally said, "The slave is leaving, the uncle Xie Huang is regent!"
After saying that, Nikan kowtowed and stepped out.
No one spoke in the warm pavilion for a while, and after a long time Dorgon said, "How are you preparing for the sacrifice to heaven?"
Grand Secretary Ganglin made a list and said, "The new Heaven Sacrifice Hall was completed half a month ago. Everything in the sacrifice was prepared yesterday, and everything was ready. Please ask the emperor's uncle, the Regent, to get up and take a bath."
Dorgon nodded and said, "The major affairs of the country are about sacrifices and military affairs, and regaining the treasures given to heaven, which shows the destiny of the Qing Dynasty."
In the warm pavilion, all the ministers said in unison, "Congratulations to the Qing Dynasty, where is the destiny!"
Dorgon showed a faint smile on his face and asked again, "Kong Youde, how are the new gun team doing?"
Kong Youde stepped forward and said, "The new firearm has been tried in Anqing, which is much more powerful than the old firearm. Wuzhenchao Ha Camp has equipped 12,000 new muskets, 14 cannons, and 4,000 rocket launchers."
Dorgon said, "The thief has sharp fire weapons. The Qing Dynasty should learn more from it. I ordered you to expand Wu Zhenchao Ha Camp another 50,000 troops!"
Kong Youde slapped his sleeves and said respectfully, "Zhe!"
Dorgon said, "It took only half a year for the Qing Dynasty to fight from Beijing to Anqing, but it was stalemate in Anqing for more than half a year. Why is it so difficult to fight? I sent an order to Jiergalang and then commanded the troops to the south after offering sacrifices to heaven."
Jirgalang was one of the two regents. In addition to the emperor's personal command, he was considered the highest-level general. Dorgon remembered one, "How long has Hong Chengchou's father been mourning?"
Grand Secretary Ganglin said, "I went there in April, for eight months."
Dorgon said, "Call him back, the court is the time to hire people, so there is no need to be conservative!"
Dorgon thoughtfully and said to Ajige, "The loss of Guanzhong is so far, Shanxi and Shaanxi have to be on guard. The fifteenth brother quelled the rebellion of the Mongolians outside the border. The only generals who can fight in the court are the twelve."
Azig was so excited that he said, "Hahaha, Regent, just order it."
Dorgon said, "Okay, I will give Ajige the title of General Pingxi. After offering sacrifices to heaven, I will bring Wu Zhenchao Ha camp to Taiyuan and act on camera!"
Azig said happily, "Thank you, the Regent."
Because the destiny of heaven that was stolen from the north was huge, the original Temple of Heaven Prayer for You cannot be placed, so a huge hall of sacrifice to heaven was built outside Dongzhimen.
The Great Hall of Sacrifice is like the Temple of Heaven, surrounded by white marble carved railings, and the huge round wall of the Hall of Destiny in the middle.
After Dorgon fasted and bathed for three days, the ceremony of worshiping heaven on the fourth day officially began.
It was still early, the sky to the east was still pitch black, and the entire Forbidden City was already busy.
A eunuch sang, "Seven hours have arrived!"
Then the bell rang in Taihe Palace, and the sleepy little emperor was led by his mother, Concubine Zhuang of Yongfu Palace, and walked outside the palace gate.
Dorgon and a group of Manchu and Han ministers welcomed the little emperor outside the palace gate, and everyone walked towards Dongzhimen.
At the front of the queue is the guide team, sixteen red horses, wearing five-color gem woven tape, with bottles hanging on both sides, and tinder velvet, flint and other necessities in the old Manchu customs.
Then there was a team of feuds, wearing sacrificial robes, carrying the 28 cows, thirty-three sheep, thirty-two pigs, two deer, and twelve rabbits.
The team of the sacred team is followed by five luxury cars: Jin Lu, Yu Lu, Xiang Lu, Ge Lu and Mu Lu. After the luxury cars, there is another 180-person band.
The band was followed by the emperor's guard of honor, and the entire team of sacrifices to the sky was vast and continuous for several miles.
When Dorgon and his party arrived at the Heaven Sacrifice Hall, the bells and drums and music started, and the ceremony of Heaven Sacrifice officially began.
After the first gift, the second gift, and the final gift, Dorgon and Shunzhi entered the Heavenly Destiny Hall together. A three-foot-three-inch-high gilded base was built in the hall, with a huge black orb on it.
The eunuch sang, "Who!"
The little emperor knelt down and kowtowed respectfully towards the orb in the hall.
The eunuch sang again, "Happy!"
The little emperor stood up and took the opportunity to take a closer look at this destiny.
"Bless" and "Happy"
After three bows and nine bows, the eunuch finally echoed his voice
Yin shouted, "Etiquette!"
The little emperor said to Dorgon, "Uncle, does this thing really come from the sky?"
Dorgon said, "Yes, this thing flew from the northeast and landed in the southwest. Soon our Eight Banners of Manchuria entered the pass from Liaodong."
The little emperor seemed to understand, "Oh, are all things in the sky so dark?"
Dorgon said, "Talking about the treasures and offering the treasures to the house!"
The eunuch outside the door sang, "Talking to offer treasures to the housekeeper!"
Soon the footsteps came, and someone said outside the door, "Liu Quanyou, the man who offered treasure, asked the emperor's uncle, the regent, and the emperor."
Dorgon said, "Come in."
Liu Quanyou bent down and lowered his head, walked in tremblingly, and knelt on the ground. Dorgon said, "Tell Your Majesty about discovering the treasure."
Liu Quanyou said, "Zha, let Your Majesty, I remember clearly that it was on the morning of March 19, the first year of Shunzhi. When I was in Laolong Mountain, I suddenly saw an extremely bright flying star in the sky in the northeast. When the flying star arrived at Laolong Mountain, it fell to the ground with great force. When it landed, it sounded like a dragon roaring. Soon, the red auspicious clouds rose into the sky. Four dragons flew continuously in the sky with auspicious clouds. It was clearly visible dozens of miles away. Later, when we arrived, the four dragons had disappeared and saw this thing landing on the ground."
Even though it was the second time I heard about such a strange thing, Dorgon was still surprised. The little emperor said, "What is the purpose of this thing from heaven?"
Liu Quanyou said, "I told Your Majesty that this thing flew from the northeast and fell in the Central Plains, symbolizing that the destiny of heaven returns to the northeast. This year, I got this treasure and returned to the Qing Dynasty in the blink of an eye. This shows that this thing is the treasure given to me by God."
The little emperor said, "It's very magical." Looking at the dark orb, there was a hint of awe in his eyes.
Dorgon said, "My Qing Dynasty got this treasure, in order to follow the will of heaven, and to set the Central Plains, just around the corner!"
In the evening, the grand ceremony of worship for heaven ended. When Liu Quanyou saw the legendary emperor, he returned to the mansion excitedly.
Because he surrendered to the Qing army and directed the Qing Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty, Liu Quan was given the position of offering treasures as Yuanwailang, and had a house in the legendary capital and married two beautiful ladies.
A few years ago, he was just a small bandit. Thinking about how he could participate in the sacrifice to heaven today and see the emperor's true face, Liu Quanyou really felt that he had an unrealistic and illusory feeling.
Liu Quanyou hummed a small song and entered the back hall of Liu's mansion. He was secretly excited. He was in great enthusiasm today and must have those two nanny come together tonight.
Thinking about the fair and tender skin of the two wives, the cry of their dreams, and the small waist twisting like a water snake, Liu Quanyou felt a fire rising from his lower abdomen, and he couldn't help but speed up his pace.
The door of the back hall was closed, it was already dark, and there were two servants holding lights in front of the door.
Liu Quanyou thought, what kind of lamp is going to be turned off later.
When he raised his hand to push the door, Liu Quanyou changed his mind. Why bother to turn off the light? Seeing the two wives trembling under his body, it would be even more scent.
"Xiang'er, Cui'er, why don't you come and help the master!"
Two women in the room were sitting there, looking at Liu Quanyou with horror.
Before Liu Quanyou could come back to his senses, a dagger pressed against his neck, and a low male voice said, "Liu Quanyou, you really make it easy for me to find."
Liu Quanyou was pressed to the ground by two people, his hands and feet tied into salted fish. When he turned over, he saw that the sky had completely darkened. Under the dim light, a cripple was walking through the shadow behind the door.
