After learning that Xu Wan had obtained the news from the Xu family, the reason why Liu Sheng came to Kunning Palace to discuss with the Red Lady immediately was because the affairs of the harem were usually mainly in charge of the Red Lady.

Just like the head wife of an ordinary family is the master of the harem, the queen in the palace is the master of the harem.

Muyi Tianxia is not just talk, she really has the relevant rights.

When Liu Sheng learned about the Xu family's affairs, he discussed it with Lady Hong and decided to hide it from Xu Wan for the time being.

Now that Xu Wan knows the news, it is obvious that the harem failed to block the news.

This could never be the work of the Red Lady.

Not to mention the character and conduct of the Red Lady, even if she changed her temper and became jealous of the other concubines, and wanted to deal with them, it was impossible to choose Xu Wan.

Among the other five concubines currently, those who pose a slight threat to the Red Lady's status are Li Lingfei, Li Xiangyun, and Bai Taiwei.

Because these three people, like the Red Lady, all have princes.

Xu Wan and Zheng Haizhu currently only have one daughter.

In addition, Xu Wan is not a strong supporter outside the palace, and she has the lowest sense of presence among the women in the harem.

The Red Lady had no reason to frame her.

As for the other concubines in the harem, Liu Sheng thought it was unlikely.

Therefore, it is necessary to investigate how Xu Wan learned about the Xu family's sentencing.

Xiuyiwei didn't have eyes in the harem, and it was inconvenient to come here, so he had no choice but to let the red lady check.

The red lady knew that Liu Sheng was angry and knew the seriousness of the matter. At this time, she organized the female guards camp and the female officials in her heart to launch a detailed investigation in the harem about Xu Wan's knowledge of the news outside the palace.

At the same time, Liu Sheng also ordered the embroidered guards to conduct a detailed investigation on those who came in with news from outside the palace.

The matter did not drag on for long, and in just a few days, the matter came to a conclusion.

But it was Xu Wan's mother who entrusted her natal family to launch a network of connections and money offensive, and finally bribed several palace maids, and spread the news to Xu Wan, asking Xu Wan to intercede on behalf of the Xu family.

Although it was an accidental incident, Lady Hong still followed Liu Sheng's wishes and exiled the palace ladies to Dongfan Island, and took the opportunity to straighten out the harem's atmosphere.

Liu Sheng also severely punished Xu Wan's mother's family as a warning to others.

As for whether Xu Wan will be depressed because of this matter, that is inevitable.

But it was impossible for Liu Sheng to let such things go unchecked just because she was depressed - if so, the harem ban would be even more relaxed, thus threatening the safety of all members of the royal family.

···
Several months passed in the blink of an eye.

The time has come to the sixth year of Qianyuan.

In late spring, Da'ei once again sent out troops, advancing both by land and water. In half a month, he captured Liaodong and established the Liaodong Province.

Because the Qing captives were well prepared, and the Qing court had already moved to Hetuala in the old forest outside the Great Wall of Liao, and because Liu Sheng deliberately allowed the Qing captives to flee, the Qing captives' personal losses in this war were not counted. big.

Judging from the post-war statistics of the Yi army, they only killed more than 10,000 Eight Banners soldiers (regardless of Manchus, Mongols and Han).

There are also many Baoyi, Aha and slaves inside. It is estimated that there are only two to three thousand real Eight Banners bannermen.

The purpose of Da'ei's dispatch of troops this time was, firstly, to recover the land lost in the previous Ming Dynasty, and secondly, to continue to put pressure on the Qing captives to destroy North Korea as soon as possible.

Speaking of which, in the past year, the Qing Dynasty's progress in annexing North Korea has indeed accelerated a lot due to the pressure from the Yi army.

Within one year, they captured Gyeonggi Province, Gangwon Province and Chungcheong Province.

As for Lee's Joseon, only Jeolla Province and Gyeongsang Province are left.

The Korean peninsula was divided into eight lanes when the Lee family founded the country, and now six of them have been lost. The Lee family is just hanging on. It can be said that if the Qing army did not deliberately control the pace of the march, and Da'ei eliminated a batch of firearms from time to time to support, Li's Korea would have been wiped out long ago...

Hetuala.

The "Imperial Palace" of the Qing Dynasty.

The reason why this palace needs to be put in quotation marks is because compared with the Qing Palace in Shenyang, it really doesn't look like a palace, but more like a large bandit stronghold.

At least that's how it seems to the nine-year-old Fulin.

But even in the palace that was like a bandit's village, he could only sit high on the "dragon chair" and act as a mascot.

As for the prince who discusses politics below, there is one missing.

Probably because the weather here in Laolin was colder and supplies became scarce, Daishan fell ill last winter. Even now, he can only stay in bed and find it difficult to come back to discuss politics.

On the contrary, it was Hauge. Because Dorgon was really short of people, he had to appoint him as the commander-in-chief to take charge of the war in Korea. He made several great achievements and regained part of the political power.

The reason why I say partly is because in the past year, Dorgon further took control of the core power of the Qing court, and with the support of most of the Eight Banners nobles and ministers, he was renamed the regent and the general regent.

As for Jierhalang and Hauge, they are still auxiliary kings, with power under Dorgon.

After his power was expanded, Dorgon also called Hong Chengchou to participate in the royal meeting to discuss government affairs.

However, while Fulin, Dorgon and others were sitting, Hong Chengchou stood aside, like a slave.

In fact, he is indeed a slave of the Eight Banners now.

Therefore, he always lowers his head when talking and dare not look at anyone.

"Princes, since Liaodong is lost, Hetuala is no longer safe."

"This place is too close to Shenyang. As long as the Wei army exits the Liao Great Wall from Fushun Pass, it will be able to attack here very quickly."

At this point, Hong Chengchou stopped talking because the next words were difficult to say and too unpleasant to listen to.

Dorgon had already talked to Hong Chengchou in private about moving the capital again. At this time, he pretended not to know and asked, "Hetuala is the ancestral land of our Jurchens in Jianzhou and the land of Longxing. If we abandon this place, what will happen if we abandon this place?" Where else can the capital be moved?”

Hong Chengchou said: "Of course we will move to the south."

When Hauge heard this, he couldn't help but hum: "The south is not small."

Jierhalang was also a little impatient and said: "Hong Chengchou, please stop being so pretentious and say, where is the right place to move the capital?"

Hong Chengchou raised his head and glanced at Dorgon. When he saw him nodding, he said, "Since both King Su and King Zheng think the capital should be moved, then I should just say so."

"The navy of the Yi army spans the Bohai Sea. Even if the Qing Dynasty moves the capital to North Korea, it cannot be close to the Bohai Sea. Therefore, Pyongyang and Seoul should be excluded."

"Similarly, on the other side, the closer to the north, the better. But the further north you go, the colder it gets, so it can't be too far north."

"After comprehensive consideration, we can only choose Hamhung. It is surrounded by high mountains and can go south and north through the coast, so it is most suitable as a new capital."

After listening to what Hong Chengchou said, Dorgon and the three of them agreed that Xianxing was good.

What Dorgon thought was that Hamxing was not far from the Vladivostok Shipyard, and there were high mountains in the north and west as barriers. If the Yi army could not be stopped in the future, they would have some time to move to Vladivostok and leave on a large ship.

What Hauge thought was much simpler.

From Xianxing to the north across Changbai Mountain, you will reach Laolinzi. When the time comes, you can escape to the north.

There are deep mountains and old forests over there, covered with ice and snow, and it will be difficult for the Yi army to catch up.

After confirming the plan to move the capital to Xianxing, Dorgon said enthusiastically: "Since we have decided to move the capital to Xianxing, it is time to change the name. In my opinion, it is better to change it to Xianjing. What do you think, Your Majesty?" (End of Chapter)
