Queen Xiaozhuang's personal maid: Su Malagu

Chapter 47

(1)

Dorgon, Azige, and Duoduo brothers attacked Beijing together and entered the Forbidden City, while the six-year-old Shunzhi Emperor of the Qing Dynasty, Fulin, was still in Shengjing.

"Now is the time for the fourteenth elder brother to proclaim himself emperor." Duoduo said happily.For him, this is simply a golden opportunity.

Before Doerduo led the troops to set off from Shengjing, the three brothers had already planned to become emperor, but when this issue was actually discussed, the three had differences again.

Azig felt that Dorgon should be called emperor, but he should not be called emperor in Beijing.He felt that the people in Beijing were hostile to the Qing Dynasty, and proclaiming the emperor in Beijing would probably fall short.Dorgon, on the other hand, believes that no matter whether he is called emperor or not, he should move his capital to Beijing, because this is the last wish of the first emperor.

"The late emperor said a long time ago that if Beijing is captured, the capital should be moved immediately in order to make progress. What's more, if we capture this place and only leave a few people here, it is very likely that we will be taken away again."

Seeing that the two elder brothers were on equal footing, Duoduo became anxious and shouted loudly: "Whether you want to move the capital or not, you have to become emperor first. There is no better chance than this. As long as you become emperor, the six-year-old emperor will What can I do?"

Dorgon and Azig glanced at each other, but fell silent.Although Dorgon and Azig disagreed on whether to move the capital, they had the same concerns about the emperor: Although Beijing had been captured by them, at best they had only occupied a small city of Beijing.All parts of the country are resisting. At this time, if you proclaim yourself emperor in Beijing, if you are driven out like Li Zicheng, won't it lose the face of the Qing Dynasty?Besides, if he proclaims himself emperor at this time, it will inevitably cause some internal disturbances.While these disturbances were likely not enough to affect his claim to emperor, they were enough to weaken their power, and the consequences would be disastrous if the Han Chinese made a comeback.

But if he misses this opportunity, when Fulin grows up and has his own strength, will he still have a chance to become emperor?Dorgon was in a dilemma, but his reason told him: "It is not yet the best time to become emperor. To become emperor at this time may ruin the Qing Dynasty. This matter will be discussed later."

Dorgon left these words to the two brothers and strode away.He doesn't want to listen to anyone's opinion now, any opinion may disrupt his plan, he needs to give himself some time to think about it.

Azige is a cautious person, so he has no objection to Dorgon's statement, but Duo Duo screamed in anxiety.Duo Duo wants to become emperor, but the strength of all parties is limited, so he can only call Duo ErGun a coward in his heart.

While Dorgon was thinking about it, Su Mo'er came again, and Su Mo'er brought him a letter from Bumbutai.

Bumbutai and Su Mo'er began to worry after Dorgon led the army in Shengjing, so they have been paying attention to Dorgon's situation.Dorgon invaded Beijing, but did not return to Shengjing after entering the Forbidden City, but began to rule in the Forbidden City, which made Bumbutai and Su Mo'er realize that what they had been worrying about was likely to happen soon.

Both Bumbutai and Su Mo'er knew that Fulin would succeed to the throne. This was not something Dorgon really wanted.In addition, in the first half of the year, the resignation of another assistant king Jierharang, the killing of King Adali of Ying County, and the relegation of Hauge all made Bumbutai and Su Mo'er realize that Dorgon was not He didn't really give up the throne, but followed his plan step by step, clearing obstacles for himself step by step, and waiting for the opportunity.

"The Eight Banners soldiers led by the prince have occupied Beijing."

When Su Moer received the letter from Ngawang, she immediately told Bumbutai.

"Why didn't anyone bring this news back? Could it be that he really wants to proclaim himself emperor in Beijing? Then... what about our emperor?" Bumbutai groaned his head and sat down on the chair.

Su Mo'er thought for a while, comforted Bumbutai and said, "Probably not yet. The prince is a cautious person, and he probably hasn't made a decision so quickly. We still have a chance."

"There is still a chance?" Bumbutai looked at Su Mo'er.

"The prince has entered the Forbidden City for a few days, but he has not proclaimed himself emperor, nor has he sent any news back. This shows that he is hesitating. As long as we find out the reason for his hesitation, we can prevent this from happening." Su Moer explain.

After thinking about it, Bumbutai felt that what Su Moer said made sense.

"Then we can only ask Ngawang to inquire about the situation." Bumbutai said.

Su Mo'er nodded, and then said, "Your Majesty, I want to go to Beijing."

When Su Moer saw Dorgon, Dorgon hadn't reacted from the shock.Su Mo'er was disheveled and dressed up as a man, she couldn't tell she was a maid beside the Empress Dowager of the Qing Dynasty.

"My servant congratulates the lord! This Forbidden City is really big and beautiful!" After Su Mo'er finished her salute, she looked around while talking, changing her usual restraint.

Dorgon was a little uncomfortable with her changes, looked at her: "Your mother asked you to come?"

Su Mo'er smiled at him without saying a word, her dirty and dark face showed a mouthful of white teeth.

"What did your mother ask you to do?" Dorgon became a little impatient.Calling himself emperor or not is enough to annoy him, and the appearance of Su Mo'er at this time undoubtedly makes him feel controlled by others.

"It is said in the palace that the prince will proclaim himself emperor in Beijing and leave the little emperor in Shengjing behind, but our mother doesn't believe it. Our mother said that the prince is definitely not such a person, and that the prince is a person who takes care of the overall situation. Because once the prince reappears in Beijing Proclaiming the emperor, the good Qing Dynasty will definitely become two factions, maybe there will be more. Then, let alone the Beijing city that the prince conquered, even Shengjing, Han people may also take advantage of it. If this is the case, then... then the prince Don't you become a sinner through the ages? Your lord..."

"Presumptuous! How dare you talk to me like that. What a slave! Aren't you afraid of death? Come!" Dorgon blushed, roared, and drew out a knife.

The attendant outside the door ran in, and Awang also followed, looking nervously at Su Mo'er and Dorgon.

Seeing Dorgon's furious face, Su Mo'er was a little scared, but she told herself that if she didn't hurt Dorgon, and said that he gave up the idea of ​​becoming emperor, then the emperor and queen mothers in Shengjing would It is very likely that there will be a disaster, and it may even destroy the Manchuria that has been built with great difficulty.

"My lord, my servant dared to say these words today because I came here with the heart of death. If the lord wants to punish the slave, he can do it casually. Even with a swing of the knife, the head of the servant can fall to the ground. The prince now Holding the power of the Qing Dynasty, the emperor is still young, so in the world of the Qing Dynasty, the prince can do whatever he wants, not to mention the villain is a servant. If the servant wants to die, the prince is not the same as crushing an ant. "Su Mo'er changed her usual gentleness, her eyes were sharp, her expression was serious, and she said with burning words.

"Hmph! What a slave who is not afraid of death! Then this king will fulfill you. Come on, pull him out and behead him!" Dorgon sneered and said with a wave of his hand.

"My lord!" Awang knelt down on the ground with a plop, knelt next to Dorgon, and whispered, "Don't do it! My lord, she is the person next to the empress dowager! The empress dowager... If the empress dowager knows, then ..." Awang didn't continue.

Dorgon glanced at Awang, then at Su Mo'er, and waved: "Go out first and close the door!"

Both the attendant and Ngawang left.When Awang was closing the door, he kept winking at Su Mo'er, telling her not to provoke Dorgon any more.

Su Mo'er told him with her eyes, reassuring him.

Only Dorgon and Su Mo'er were left in the room, and Su Mo'er continued: "My lord, I have followed my mother since I was a child, and I have read some sage books. The lord once voluntarily gave up when he was facing the succession of the throne, and let him The position is given to the Ninth Prince, and the empress and servants all admire the prince, thinking that the prince is like the sage Zhou Gong, who assists the young master to achieve immortal achievements, and his status is far higher than that of the emperors of later generations. Grandson, unexpectedly his son King Yan was dissatisfied and usurped the throne to stand on his own. Although his performance is good, but because he usurped the throne, he could not escape the crusade of the world, which became a stain in his life."

Su Mo'er stopped for a while when she said this, and glanced at Dorgon, and found that his sullen face had eased a little, so she said: "The prince is wise, and he must be the Duke of Zhou instead of the King of Yan. Madam It is precisely because I know this that I specially wrote a letter to Wang Ye."

Dorgon let out a long breath.

Su Mo'er's words just touched his heart and touched his worries.He glanced at Su Mo'er, and stretched out his hand: "Where's the letter from the Queen Mother? Here."

Su Mo'er took out the letter from her arms and handed it to Dorgon.

Dorgon picked up the letter and looked at it. This time the letter was not as affectionate as last time, looking back at their acquaintance and encounter.This letter is all about her difficulties after entering the palace and her worries about herself and the emperor. At the end of the letter, she said: "If the prince has other decisions, I, Bumbutai, have nothing to say, because the emperor can sit on the throne." , It is also thanks to the help of the prince. I just hope that the prince can weigh the pros and cons and not leave bad words for future generations. If the prince can continue to assist the emperor, the emperor will respect and love you like his own father."

After reading the letter, Dorgon let out another long breath.He squinted his eyes and looked into the distance, without moving for a long time.Su Mo'er didn't move either. She knew that Dorgon must be engaged in a fierce ideological struggle. She could only wait and wait for his decision.

As time passed by, Su Mo'er kept staring at Dorgon's expression.

Dorgon's dignified expression eased slightly, and he glanced at Su Mo'er: "Go back and tell your mothers that the king will return to Shengjing in a few days to discuss the matter of moving the capital. The emperor and queen mothers will definitely like this place. "

After Dorgon finished speaking, he turned around and left quickly. When he reached the door, he turned around and said to Su Mo'er: "It's a great blessing for your mother to have you."

After speaking, he opened the door and left.

Su Mo'er breathed a long sigh of relief, and her body slowly went limp...
