Queen Xiaozhuang's personal maid: Su Malagu

Chapter 44 The Battle for the Throne (2)
"What? Prince Su doesn't want to focus on the overall situation? Aren't you afraid that the Ming Dynasty will benefit?" Dorgon challenged him.

"As long as I don't stand up to you, I agree to stand up to anyone." Hauge said angrily.

Su Mo'er knew about the "appointment of another prince" at the first time, and the reason why she knew about it at the first time was revealed to her by Awang who was beside Dorgon.Awang is Dorgon's attendant. After Dorgon fought against the Chahar tribe and obtained the Jade Seal of the Kingdom, Su Mo'er once delivered a letter for them on horseback and saved their lives.From then on, Ngawang remembered the brave and resourceful Su Moer, and developed a good impression of her.

The two also met occasionally, but this kind of meeting was only when delivering letters for Bumbutai and Dorgon.From the occasional meeting, Su Mo'er could see Ngawang's affection for her.At the critical moment of the battle for the throne, Su Mo'er thought of Awang and wanted him to be her "undercover agent".

When Su Mo'er took the initiative to find Awang, and not to send a letter to Dorgon, Awang was very excited, but when he learned of Su Moer's intentions, he fell silent again.Awang has been with Dorgon since he was very young. Although the relationship between the two is master and servant, the relationship they have established since childhood is also very deep.

Su Moer understood this, and she said: "I didn't ask you to betray Prince Rui, I just wanted to know something from Prince Rui. If Prince Rui inherits the throne, he will not treat our mother and the ninth prince badly. Our mother I'm just afraid that someone else will inherit the throne, so..." Su Mo'er's nose soured, her voice choked up: "Then the empress and the nine princes, including me and my servant, are all likely to die."

After Su Mo'er finished speaking, she began to cry.

Seeing that Su Mo'er was crying, Ah Wang felt anxious and distressed, and hurriedly said, "Okay! Don't cry, I'll just find out the news for you."

In this way, Su Mo'er also knew all about the progress of Dorgon's side.

At the beginning, from the information Awang provided him, she found that Dorgon was very likely to inherit the throne.

"If Prince Rui inherits the throne, what will happen? What will happen to the empress and the Ninth Prince?" Su Mo'er has been worried about this.

But when Awang finally brought her the news that the two biggest competitors: Dorgon and Hauge both agreed to establish a new prince, Su Moer breathed a sigh of relief.She thought: In this way, the only opponent of the Ninth Prince Fulin is Bomu Bogor who is less than one year old.

Su Mo'er quickly told Bumbutai the news. Bumbutai, who had lost confidence and let it go, regained his confidence.

"So, as long as we defeat that wooden clock and her brother, we will win?" she said excitedly.

Su Mo'er nodded: "It can be said that if there are no accidents."

"Accident? What do you mean?" Bumbutai didn't understand again.

"Although Prince Rui and Prince Su decided to quit the competition for the throne at the meeting, there is no guarantee that they don't really want to quit. We still can't act too hastily." Su Mo'er said calmly.

"Continue to wait and see?" Bumbutai said.

"No, we can stand outside and watch from a distance, see what cards the opponent is going to play, and then start from the outside. If we can get the support of Prince Zheng Jierhalan first, the chances of winning will be greater." Su Mo'er explain.

Bumbutai nodded.

"If the empress thinks it's convenient, it's okay..." Su Mo'er stopped on purpose and looked at Bumbutai.Bumbutai understood what Su Moer meant, sighed and said: "He has already given up the throne once, how can I let him give up again? Besides, can he listen to me? He married Xinjiao Niang, That Xinjiao Niang has been in front of Concubine Chen for so long, she must have also learned the art of seductiveness, tell me, would Mingzhu want our Ninth Prince to be the emperor? Would she want Prince Rui to give up the throne to someone else? No, Absolutely not!" Bumbutai kept shaking his head.

"But even if there is only a little chance, we have to fight for it." Su Mo'er said.

Bumbutai pondered.

Dorgon agreed to establish a new prince, but was first opposed by Duo Duo.Duo Duo didn't say it in front of several princes and county kings, but followed Dorgon back to Prince Rui's Mansion.In the study, he yelled loudly to Dorgon:

"Why? Why do you have to give up the throne to others over and over again? No one is more qualified to be emperor than you this time!"

Dorgon was calm and relaxed.He asked his servants to bring tea, took two sips slowly, then put down the teacup, and calmly looked at Dodo, who was restless and kept yelling.

"If you give up the opportunity this time, there will be no chance again! Last time you had the jade seal in your hand, it was you..." Duoduo thumped the table angrily.

"You don't want to sit on the throne, I'll take it! If anyone dares to object, I'll mark..."

Before Duo Duo could finish speaking, Duo ErGun stopped him.

"Don't be restless! Walls have ears. If these words are heard by people with ulterior motives, they will..."

"What will happen? I don't care, I'm not afraid! Our Qing Dynasty cannot live without a king. In the Qing Dynasty, who else is more powerful than our three brothers united?" Duoduo's fist thumped on the table.

Dorgon motioned him to keep his voice down, approached him and said in a low voice: "The reason why I agree with the new prince is because Prince Zheng proposed it. If he can raise it, it means that he will not help us. If he..."

"He won't help us, and he won't help Hauge. What is Hauge? What is he capable of?" Dodo was still unconvinced and said angrily.

"When two tigers fight, there must be one injury. Not only one injury, it is likely to be multiple injuries, and it may also ruin the Qing Dynasty. Do you want to see such a result?"

After Dorgon finished speaking, he patted Duo Duo's shoulder lightly, and said slowly: "Sometimes, retreating may also be advancing."

"What do you mean?" Dodo calmed down and asked with staring eyes.

"Wait and see what happens." Dorgon said.

"Okay, let's go back and rest. We'll discuss something another day." Dorgon yawned.He still needs to think about this matter carefully. Prince Zheng Jierhalan's sudden proposal made him a little at a loss.

Originally, this time, Dorgon was very sure of inheriting the throne.He thought that Prince Li Daishan and King Yingjun Adali would definitely fall for him because of Huang Taiji's suppression of them, and how close Adali was to him.However, when Prince Zheng Jierhalang proposed to re-establish the prince, he found that both Daishan and Adali nodded in favor of Prince Zheng's proposal. At that time, many things will change, so he must think of a surefire plan.

Therefore, with a high-spirited attitude, he took the lead in agreeing to Prince Zheng's proposal, and wanted to give himself some time to buffer.With a careful mind, he doesn't like to do risky and uncertain things.

Looking at Duo Duo's angry back, Dorgon shook his head helplessly.He came out of the study with a heavy heart, and was about to go to Da Fujin's place, but he saw the pearl of the side Fujin strolling in front of him gracefully.Mingzhu's graceful figure aroused Dorgon's interest, and he immediately decided to go to Mingzhu to rest.

Since Dorgon obeyed the emperor's order and married Mingzhu, he has kept her at a distance.The pearl was given to him by Huang Taiji, and she was also the maid beside Huang Taiji's favorite concubine during his lifetime, so Dorgon was somewhat on guard.He even wondered if Mingzhu was a "spies" placed by Huang Taiji's side.However, now that Huang Taiji is gone, this kind of inner vigilance has been reduced a lot, and Mingzhu is gentle and sweet, which also has a strong attraction to him.

"My lord! This concubine asked my servants to prepare some snacks for you." As soon as she entered the door, Mingzhu smiled sweetly, and the light flowed.

Dorgon didn't wait for Mingzhu to call for his servants, so he hugged her, and the two of them lay quietly on the bed after talking about each other.Dorgon remembered the matter of inheriting the throne again, and sighed involuntarily.

"Your Highness has something on your mind?" Ming Zhu said, resting her head on Dorgon's chest lightly.

Dorgon smiled and said nothing.

Mingzhu sat up, pinching Dorgon's shoulders with both hands.

"My lord must be worried about inheriting the throne!" Mingzhu said suddenly.

"Oh?" Dorgon glanced at her.

"Recently, I often hear people talking about it." Mingzhu said softly.

"What did you say?" Dorgon asked casually.

"A while ago, it was said that the lord and Prince Su were fighting for the throne, and that the lord would definitely win; today I heard that a new prince is going to be established." Mingzhu said lightly.Dorgon frowned, thinking how it could spread so fast.

"Forgive me, my lord. It was my concubine who happened to pass by my study and heard my lord and King Yujun yelling loudly there, so..."

Dorgon didn't speak, just smiled.

"If the lord and Prince Su don't fight anymore, should we establish a little prince?" Mingzhu said very slowly.When talking about the little prince, Dorgon felt that her tone was a little harsh.

He turned to look at Mingzhu.Mingzhu hurriedly said: "My lord, this concubine is just talking nonsense, this concubine..."

Dorgon smiled: "Tell me, I won't blame you."

Mingzhu sat up straight, and tentatively said: "At this time, the lord and Prince Su are really not [-]% sure. But if you leave Prince Su aside, then the lord..."

Mingzhu stopped and looked at Dorgon with fearful eyes, Dorgon took her in his arms and motioned her to continue.

"If a new little prince is established and the prince is the regent..." Mingzhu stopped again.Dorgon gently stroked Mingzhu's hair with his hands, very gentle.Mingzhu continued: "Is there anything that is difficult to control?"

Her voice was very soft, and after she finished speaking, she pressed her face tightly against Dorgon's naked chest.Dorgon didn't speak for a long time, and suddenly burst into laughter: "Hahaha... good! Fujin said it well!"
