"Ah?" Hou Fangyu and Cao Eryu raised their heads suddenly, and then suddenly turned to look at Dorgon who was still sleeping soundly on the kang, but they saw that Dorgon's face was cyanotic, but his eyes were tightly closed.
Looking at the neck area, there is an obvious strangulation mark.
Seeing this situation, how come the two of them still don't understand what happened?
"Queen Mother?!" Hou Fangyu and Cao Eryu looked at Bumu Butai in disbelief.
Neither of them expected that this woman Bumubutai would be so courageous and scheming!
She actually dared to strangle the regent in the Dongnuang Pavilion in the main hall of Prince Rui's palace, and she wasn't afraid of being quartered by the guards of Prince Rui's palace?
But Bumu Butai said to the two of them calmly: "The emperor and the regent unfortunately suffered from a stroke while having sex with Concubine Li. At the end of the Youshi period today, Long Yubintian was born. Did you hear clearly?"
Now is the beginning of the year, but it is said that Dorgon died in the end of You.
Bumbutai was trying to create the illusion that he was not there.
Upon hearing this, Hou Fangyu and Cao Eryu reacted instantly.
Dorgon is dead, and their backers have fallen.
If they reveal the truth about the Queen Mother's murder of the Royal Father and the Regent, they are not sure whether the Queen Mother will be unlucky, but they will definitely die badly.
The situation is clear.
Once Dorgon died, it was already the general trend for Fulin to take charge.
The question is, can you save your life by helping the Queen Mother conceal them?
After the incident is completed, the Queen Mother will 90% kill them both to silence them.
"Don't worry, the Ai family won't kill you because it's not necessary."
Bumbutai guessed what the two were thinking and said: "The Ai family left Prince Rui's palace at the end of the period, but the emperor's father and the regent died at the end of the You period. This matter has nothing to do with the Ai family, so why should I silence you?"
Hou Fangyu and Cao Eryu immediately realized that this was indeed the case.
As long as it becomes public knowledge that Dorgon died on the horse while having sex with Concubine Li, even if they talk nonsense afterwards, it will only be regarded as an anecdote in the world.
In this case, there is really no need for Bumbutai to silence them.
But this alone is not enough, you must also swear allegiance.
At that moment, Hou Fangyu and Cao Eryu knelt at Bumu Butai's feet.
"From now on, my servants will only follow the Queen Mother's lead, and only the Emperor will follow his lead."
"Very good. You are all smart people. You don't need to say more about what you should do next, right?"
"Don't worry, Queen Mother, I will understand." Hou Fangyu and Cao Eryu said in succession, "The emperor's father, the regent, summoned Concubine Li to sleep with her at the end of the reign of Emperor You. Unfortunately, she suffered from horse wind during the intercourse. The imperial doctor's treatment was ineffective, so Long Yu Bintian."
Bumbutai nodded and left the palace of Prince Rui with the palace maid.
…
Inside the Forbidden City, value room.
Meng Xueli was having secret discussions with Yao Qisheng and Yu Sideng.
Yao Qisheng said: "Dorgon didn't care about Fulin during the last mutiny, mainly because Fulin was also deceived and used by Duduo, but this time it was Fulin who led the rebellion against our Juzi camp, so
Dorgon will definitely fight back, even if he doesn't destroy Fulin, he will definitely go to the palace and warn him face to face."
Yu Sideng said: "Now our opportunity has come."
Yao Qisheng said: "That's right. In the name of 'protecting' the safety of the Forbidden City, Meng Gaijun ordered all the members of the Juzi Battalion to load up their ammunition and stand ready. Not only Fulin would think that we were taking on the responsibility of guarding, but Dorgon would not either. They became suspicious of us, and when Dorgon entered the palace, I opened fire with Brother Xizhi at the same time, killing Dorgon in one fell swoop."
Yu Sideng said: "After Dorgon died, Meng Geijian pretended that he had received Fulin's secret order. In this way, Hou Fangyu and Juziying would not dare to act rashly, and Fulin could only be grateful. In this way, we not only completed the assassination mission, but We can also gain Fulin's trust, which can be said to be killing two birds with one stone. There is no better result than this."
I have to admit, this is really a perfect plan.
"Okay, you two go back and prepare first."
Meng Xueli also approved this plan.
…
When Bumbutai returned to Qianqing Palace, he saw Shunzhi still kneeling upright on the platform outside the palace gate. He didn't look back when he saw her approaching, so he pretended not to see her.
However, the eunuch and the maid quickly knelt down to greet Bumubutai.
One of the young eunuchs said: "After the Queen Mother left, the Emperor has been kneeling until now. He has been kneeling for almost two hours. I am really worried..."
"Xiao Lizi, shut up!" Fulin shouted sternly.
"Even if I kneel to death on this platform today, I will not bow to anyone."
Bumbutai signaled the eunuchs and maids to step aside first, and then lowered his voice and said to Fulin: "At the end of the Youyuan period today, the emperor and the regent suffered from horse wind while having sex with Concubine Li, and the dragon came to Bintian."
"Ah?!" Fulin suddenly raised his head and looked at Bumbutai in disbelief.
Immediately, an indescribable ecstasy enveloped Fulin, and Dorgon died? Doesn't this mean that the obstacles in front of me are gone? Doesn't this mean that from now on, I can personally rule?
Bumbutai then said: "From now on, you will be responsible for the country and the country of the Qing Dynasty. The Aijia hopes that you will still be as strong-willed as before when you encounter difficulties, and don't cry to the Aijia."
"Empress Huang." Fulin quickly got up and approached Bumubutai with a stern face, "Are you angry?"
Looking at his sullen son, Bumbutai felt a little unbearable. After all, he was only a twelve-year-old child, and it was really cruel to put the country and the country of the Qing Dynasty on his shoulders.
At that moment, Bu Mu Butai couldn't help but say a few more words: "The first thing you have to do after taking office is to pardon the Eight Banners nobles. Our country of the Qing Dynasty still needs to rely more on the Eight Banners nobles to support it. Although those Han officials are all smart You are extraordinary, but after all, we are not the same as the Manchu people, so it is difficult to be of the same mind."
"My son, please remember this," Fulin responded respectfully.
But in his heart, Fulin still disagreed with this.
Those Han ministers are all weaklings, so it doesn't matter whether they are of the same mind or not.
Bumbutai continued: "But Doduo cannot be pardoned. Not only can this person not be pardoned, he also needs to be executed immediately. Do you know why?"
"I know this," Fulin said, "This is called giving kindness and power at the same time, killing chickens to scare the monkeys."
"Okay, I have finally learned the emperor's mental skills in the past few years." Bumbutai nodded happily and said, "There are still hundreds of thousands of Nanming troops outside the city. The emperor's mother can't help you with the war defense strategy, but you
You can listen more to the ideas of the nobles of the Eight Banners and the Manchu ministers, especially veteran generals like Ye Bilong and Sony."
"Hey!" Fulin agreed respectfully.
"When I turn around, I will stop Bilong and recall Sony to Beijing."
"Okay, Queen Mother is tired, so she will go back to Cining Palace first."
After Bumubutai finished speaking, he took the palace maid directly back to Cining Palace.
So many things happened today, and Bumbutai was really tired.
"I respectfully send you off to the emperor." Fulin said goodbye to Bu Mu Butai, and when he stood up again, he could not hide his excitement.
However, when I turned around unintentionally, I saw the setting sun hanging on the palace wall. I immediately froze there, looking at the sky. It was just after Shen Shi, not You Shi.
But how did the emperor say that Dorgon died at the end of the period?
Did Huang'e Niang say it wrong? She should have said the end of the end of time?
But it’s not supposed to be the case. The Queen has always been very careful, so how could she make such a mistake?
Fulin became uneasy again. It was not until the end of the year that Cao Eryu, the manager of Prince Rui's palace, and Hou Fangyu, a member of the army, came to the palace to report the funeral, and Fulin's heart finally settled.
What Huang'e Niang said was right, Dorgon really died at the end of Youmo.
…
Baiyintu stood on the top of Fuchengmen, watching the red setting sun sink behind the ridgeline little by little.
Outside Fuchengmen is an endless plain, and you can even see Shijing Mountain in the distance. From a distance, it looks like a big bowl upside down. From Shijing Mountain to the west is the towering Taihang Mountain.
Looking at the towering Taihang Mountains in the distance, Baiyintu let out a long sigh.
Baiyintu was not only worried about his own future, but also worried about the fate of the Qing Dynasty.
Although the Ming army did not completely surround Beijing, they left a gap of 500 steps wide outside the Fucheng Gate. They did not even place scouts or ambushes outside the gap, but allowed them to come and go freely during the Qing Dynasty without restraint.
Even when the Juzi Battalion of 3,000 men entered Beijing through the gap, the Ming army did not stop them.
But Baiyintu knew that the Ming army did this not out of good intentions, but out of offensive considerations.
To put it bluntly, the Ming army wanted to use this to lure the Qing soldiers to abandon the fortified city and fight in the field with the Ming army.
But Baiyintu also felt that it might be a wise move to fight the Ming army in the field, because if we continue to fight with the Ming army in this way, it would not only deplete the Qing Dynasty's modest financial resources, but also wear away the spirit of the Qing soldiers.
The confidence and morale of the current Qing soldiers are far inferior to those of the late emperors, not to mention the era of Lao Khan. If this continues, Baiyintu is really worried that the once invincible Eight Banners force will be destroyed.
It will turn into a bunch of rabble without any fighting spirit.
"Dangdangdang..."
Just when Baiyintu was sighing, the bell suddenly sounded behind him.
"Where is the bell ringing? Where is the bell ringing?" Baiyintu turned around and asked.
One of the two white flags said lazily: "It seems to be Jingyang Bell."
Since the mutiny three days ago, the bagaras, red armored men, vests and even infantrymen of the two white flags have not paid much attention to the generals who were transferred from the two yellow flags. They often ignore them.
of.
"Jingyang Bell?" Baiyintu couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart when he heard this. The emperor urgently summoned all officials?
At the moment, Baiyintu ignored the vest, told the defense of Fuchengmen, and rushed to the Forbidden City.
When Bai Yintu arrived outside the Meridian Gate, he saw that the open space outside the duty room was already filled with Manchu and Han ministers who had arrived. However, everyone was confused and didn't know what was going on.
This is not court time at all. What are you calling all the officials to do?
Could it be that something big happened? Is there going to be a decisive battle with the Ming army?
Just as the Manchu and Han ministers were whispering, a shocking news spread throughout the Meridian Gate like a hurricane. The emperor's father and the regent actually passed away when he was visiting Concubine Li who was presented by North Korea! The wind is about to blow!
