Wang Duduo, the auxiliary political uncle of Deyu, stood at the door of a manor to welcome his brother's arrival.
Under the night, a powerful cavalry galloped towards them. The leader was more than ten feet tall and had a huge waist and abdomen. He reined in his horse and jumped down.
"Brother Twelve."
"Eighth Prince!"
"Prince of England."
Duduo and his confidants came forward to greet him. He called Azige the twelfth brother, but someone behind him called him the Eighth Prince, Prince of England. The Eighth Prince was the man who was promoted to Prince after Shunzhi entered the customs. He was also called the Eighth Prince.
The twelfth son of Nurhachi is the half-brother of Duduo and Dorgon.
"Damn it, there must be something wrong with the death of Fourteenth. It must be Daishan and Jierhalang who murdered them." Azig had a bad temper. As soon as he saw his brothers, he shouted that he would lead troops to Beijing to destroy them.
"I told Old Fourteen at the beginning that there was no need to be so polite with those old guys. It would be most direct to lead the troops to destroy them. He strongly disagreed, saying that it would be a matter of time, and the result would be the same after all.
If you have never played with these insidious old guys, your life will be lost."
Although in the eyes of outsiders, the three Dorgon brothers were not very united, especially the twelve, who often opposed Dorgon and were very dissatisfied. The two often turned against each other. Even when they were discussing the establishment of the emperor, Duduo actually said
When he came out to establish him, Azige left halfway.
But only a few core people know that the relationship between these three brothers has always been very close. Azige is brave and capable of fighting, Dodo is good at strategy, and Dorgon is not to mention wise and decisive. Although there are indeed some differences.
Although there is harmony, the three brothers are still very united when things go wrong.
At the critical moment of the meeting that year, Haug left first, and Azig immediately found an excuse to withdraw. In fact, he was just to keep an eye on Haug, fearing that he would deploy troops at the critical moment and cause trouble. When Duduo couldn't argue, he said that he should be appointed.
In fact, he also deliberately lured the snake out of its hole.
At that time, although Obai and others held swords and said that if they did not support Huang Taiji's son, they would splash blood in the hall with two yellow flags, but if Azig had not gone out to mobilize troops in advance, the result might have been that Obai supported Hauge and entered the palace.
Ergon chopped off his head, then shouted who else was there, and finally Hauge took advantage of the situation.
Duduo had just killed Liu Zeqing in Jinan and stabilized the situation in Jinan. When he heard that there were changes in Beijing, he ignored the court's will and handed Jinan over to Boluo, and immediately rushed back with Qingqi.
"Don't mess around," Duduo said calmly. Dorgon died suddenly. He died so young, and there were definitely many suspicious things about his death. Moreover, he also received a secret letter from the Empress Dowager.
But Duduo didn't act impatient. The closer he got to Beijing, the more difficult each step became.
"Old Fourteen has been murdered, and he still says not to mess around! At this time, it's time for you to fight to the death. If we don't take action, we will all be killed. If we don't die suddenly, we will be charged with several crimes.
, and then just like Amin and others back then, they were imprisoned until death, and even died suddenly in the end, in an unknown death, and their descendants will never get over it!"
"Contact our troops directly, mobilize the people from Liangbai and Zhenglan, kill Daishan and Jierhalang, and then convene a meeting of the kings and ministers to discuss the matter. Then choose a new emperor. If you are willing to be the emperor, you can be the emperor.
If you don’t want to be the one, then I’ll be the one,”
Duduo looked at this brother and was speechless.
When Dorgon was around, he could still suppress Azig, but now that Dorgon is gone, no one can control him, let alone himself. Back then, Azig openly defied the emperor.
Taiji ordered him to make the decision for the young man without authorization and marry his uncle Abtai's daughter.
At that time, Huang Taiji had a bad relationship with Abtai and was very afraid of him. However, Azige took the initiative to marry his cousin for him, so he was dismissed as the leader of the White Flag.
When Nurhachi died, Azig was the older one, while Dorgon and Dodo were still relatively young. Both brothers relied on their elder brother's wings for protection.
So although Azig has always caused trouble in the past few years, the Duduo brothers have always protected him. Even if he was punished repeatedly, it was actually a great protection. Otherwise, if he really had to deal with it according to the rules, the result would not be so good.
Azig had always called Emperor Shunzhi a boy and called him by his first name without any respect. He also treated his nephew Hauge the same way.
Now that Dorgon died suddenly, Duduo really didn't know how to restrain this heroic and fierce imperial brother with great military exploits.
"Listen to me, you can't have any womanly kindness in this kind of thing, and you must not hesitate, otherwise you will end up like the old fourteenth. You have to strike first, and you can only strike against these two old guys Daishan.
Cruel hand."
"Otherwise, none of us three brothers will end well. Although Dai Shan is now pursuing the Fourteenth as Emperor Cheng Zongyi, he is just taking the opportunity to appease and paralyze us!"
Duduo was in a dilemma.
Although he was also full of doubts about his brother's death, there was no direct evidence, so how could he make an attack?
Although the upper-level strife within Manchuria has always been fierce, they still have to reason and provide evidence. Who will support you if you come from nowhere?
"Everything must be planned before taking action. Acting recklessly will not lead to good results."
Azig couldn't listen. He had long been impatient with conspiracies and had to work hard and fast. "If you are hesitant, then I will contact you myself. I don't believe that none of Old Fourteen's subordinates will do anything."
loyal."
"Wait a minute. Since the Queen Mother has sent us a secret letter, it means that the Queen Mother may have some key evidence in her hands. At least we can unite with the Queen Mother." Dodo persuaded Azig, "I think we have to take steps step by step. If we can unite
Queen Mother, after receiving your majesty's decree and granting us the position of regent, we can then enter the court and join the good deeds. The two thieves of Jierhalang will fight against each other. As long as we find evidence that they murdered Shi Shi, we can use national laws and family rules.
, eradicate them directly.”
Azig shook his head.
"You have a good idea, but now Fulin is just a few years old, and all important affairs of the court are handled by the two kings as regents. How is it possible that you want them to agree to us being the regents?"
Previously, Azig had always wanted to be an uncle, but Dorgon refused, let alone Daishan, his cousin Beiliang.
"You listen to me, do what I do first, and if it doesn't work, do what you do. I'll contact the Queen Mother, and you contact the people. Don't worry."
Seeing that he was so insistent, Azig was furious, but he had no choice but to agree, and sent people to secretly contact his people in Beijing, as well as Dorgon's confidants, such as the great scholar Gang Lin and Suk Saha.
"Immediately go to Beijing secretly to see my father-in-law and ask him to quietly lead his troops to respond!"
Lao Qin is Azig's son and a very brave clan general.
He also sent people to secretly meet with Suk Saha and other Dorgon's confidants, and summoned them to come for a secret meeting to plan major events.
Beijing.
When Lao Qin saw the secret message brought by his father's servants, he immediately gathered 300 people and quietly left the city.
On the other side, after Suksaha saw Azig's envoy and his secret message, he immediately tied him up and put him in a woodshed under strict guard. Then he went directly to see Daishan and Ji quietly.
Erhalang is gone.
Suk Saha, Nala clan, a native of Zhengbai Banner, Baya Lahuzhangjing, has the title of minister of political affairs in Xinjia.
He is Dorgon's most trusted personal attendant.
"Where are the people?" After reading the secret letter, Dai Shan and others were secretly frightened.
"Azig's slaves are now imprisoned in the slave house."
Suksaha was considered a relative of the emperor. His father, Nasu, defected to Nurhachi and went on a war expedition. Later, he became Nurhaci's son-in-law. Later, Suksaha and his son were under Dorgon's banner, so they served with Dorgon.
Suk Saha called him Uncle Dorgon. Because of this relationship, the young and brave Suk Saha gained the trust of the childless Dorgon.
But Dorgon never expected that the nephew he had single-handedly promoted would defect to his opponent before his body was still cold.
"When Azig returns to the capital, he must pass through Desheng Gate. The slave can reply to Azig and tell him to take people to Desheng Gate to welcome him into the capital. When he enters the city, he will be surrounded by the city gate and locked up.
!”
Daishan looked at this young man, he was really cruel.
"Can we trust you?"
"My family, Suk Saha, has been blessed by the country, and I am a relative of the emperor. Don't I know my loyalty? Uncle, please rest assured!"
In terms of relationship, Daishan and Jierhalang are also Suksaha's uncles.
However, at this critical moment of life and death, the relationship between uncle and nephew may not be reliable. After all, Daishan and Azige are still brothers. Among the princes, Baylor and ministers at the core of Manchuria, who are not relatives? From Taizu to the present, they are no more than just brothers.
There are only three generations, we are all one family.
Of course, Daishan would not easily believe the defected Suksaha. He sent someone to call his son and asked him and Jirhalang's son to lead an ambush at Deshengmen, waiting for Suksaha to capture Aji.
When Ge enters the city, capture him.
"If Azige dares to resist arrest, he will be killed directly!" Daishan ordered unceremoniously.
"Where's Dodo?"
"It won't be too late to deal with Dodo after we capture Azig!"
The two old foxes looked at each other and already understood each other's thoughts. As long as Azig was arrested, it was not them who had the final say on what charges he would be charged with?
If Azig implicated Dodo, and even surrounded Dodo and captured him, and then claimed that he died of smallpox or some kind of plague, who would be willing to plead guilty for them?
To cut weeds, we must remove the roots.
Take this opportunity to eradicate the power of the three Dorgon brothers together, and then divide the two white flags and the Zhenglan flag.
"Now the Ming Dynasty in the south is very powerful. We must quell the civil strife as soon as possible. We must cut through the mess quickly. We cannot withstand the chaos."
Suk Saha was secretly frightened when he heard this. He didn't expect that these two regents were the real ruthless people. They would eradicate all three brothers completely.
Fortunately, he saw the opportunity and quickly changed the door.
At that moment, he expressed his loyalty again, and then followed Daishan's cronies to see his sons, and dispatched troops to ambush outside Desheng Gate.
When Azig saw the 300 men brought by his son, and received a reply from Suk Saha, saying that he had contacted Prince Rui's old men in the capital and wanted to do something big with the King of England, he was immediately very happy and couldn't wait.
Then he took his son and their five hundred tribesmen to the capital.
Inside Deshengmen, Suksaha came up to greet him.
"My servant pays homage to the King of England!"
The burly Azig asked on the horse, "Are you the only one? Where are the others?"
"They have been waiting for the king for a long time!"
As Suk Saha finished speaking, the Desheng Gate was closed, and countless soldiers of the Eight Banners poured out from all sides. Suk Saha also drew his sword and put it on Azig's son Lao himself, "Please dismount, your Majesty!"
"Don't be so arrogant as a dog slave!" Azig was furious.
Arrows and crossbows fired in unison, and the tribesmen brought by Azig and his son were shot down in an instant.
His son was held hostage and surrounded by archers and armored cavalry. In the end, Azig had to dismount and be bound.
Prince Mandahai of Xun, who was behind the armored cavalry in the distance, watched Azig being knocked to the ground after dismounting, and his limbs were tightly bound with cowhide ropes. He finally breathed a sigh of relief. This clan warrior finally surrendered.
