Qing Dynasty Secret History

Chapter 8

But it is said that the Jingnan general, Yutong Prince Duoduo, connected with Taizong's three edicts, supervised and led all the troops on horseback, set up their camps, and rushed back to Manchuria day and night.He just arrived in Fengtian, and before he entered the city, he followed the new emperor's ascension to the Red Edict, knowing that Prince Ruizhong was in charge of state affairs alone, although he was reluctant in his heart, but the matter had been accomplished, and it was useless to argue.And he knew very well that Dorgon's methods were extremely ruthless, and if he was not prepared and thoughtful, he would never dare to do so.His own talent is invincible against him, if he refuses to agree, he will definitely be murdered by him in the future.After pondering for a while, he deliberately acted like he liked it, and led the soldiers of the whole camp to accept the red edict.Then came the mourning edict.When Big Bellhaug saw the mourning edict, his tears rolled down like pearls with broken strings.So Duoduo led the three armies, big and small, and the generals of the horses to cry in unison.The crying sound was blown away by the wind from the sky, the sky collapsed and the earth fell, and the mountains shook.After crying for a long time, Duoduo stopped, and all the generals stopped together, and the whole team entered the city.First wear auspicious clothes and meet the new emperor.Then change into filial piety clothes, follow Yujia, and cry in front of Emperor Daxing's Zi Palace.The new emperor is just a child, he knows how to dance, howl and cry, and respond to rituals, but he is just being teased by others.All the Belleri, big Belle Hauge needless to say, the others such as Four Belle Yebushu, Five Belle Shuose, Six Belle Gaosai, Seven Baylor Changshu, etc. are also very sad, that is, Big Belle Chisai, Eleven Baylor Although Bomu Borgu fell out of favor on weekdays, after all, the father and son cried like tears in front of Zigong because of their nature.Hauge thought of Taizong's usual ambitions, what a hero he was!How mighty!It only ended up like this, and looking back at the past and the past, it became more and more sad.At this time, in the Feilong Pavilion, a hundred lamas and eminent monks are invited to chant scriptures and perform Buddhist rituals day and night.On the auspicious day of Feng'an Mountain Mausoleum, one hundred and eight husbands were invited out of the Catalpa Palace. Camels, elephants, mules and horses, banners and flags were covered, pavilions and mantles were strewn with battles, and bees swarmed down one after another, which was three to five miles long. .

The empress dowager, emperor, regent, princes, county kings, beizi, beile, and ministers of civil and military affairs all sent them off in person.There are reed halls built along the way, ready to stop.It was the first time that he saw the white tiger's resistance, and Qiu Gun was saddened by the glory of the fire dragon.

At the moment when the enshrinement was completed, Fan Wencheng and Hong Chengchou discussed for many days before they decided on a temple name, called Emperor Taizong Wen, and the name of the imperial tomb was Zhaoling.At this time, the national power in Manchuria was in the hands of Dorgon alone.This Dorgon is not serious about his work, and there is no opportunity in the afternoon.I can't finish it in a day, and I burn the ointment and continue to do it all night.

The Empress Dowager Ji Te, sympathized with his hard work, and gave him special grace to rest in Yanqing Palace in Da Nei.Dorgon was so grateful for this honor that he worked tirelessly.However, those who are in power cannot be liked by everyone. Some people who get benefits are kind to others, and those who are not benefited are hated by others.What's more, Dorgon's youthful temperament, once he has the power in his hands, he can't help being arrogant.Those unsatisfactory little people made a lot of embarrassing and embarrassing words to slander him, which gradually reached the ears of the empress dowager.Although, there is a great disparity in status in the world, after all, young widows, melon fields and plums, it is inevitable to avoid a little bit of taboo.

So a Yi decree was issued to teach the regent not to live in Da Nei, and to return to his residence to handle unfinished government affairs every day.

On this day, Dorgon was reading memorials with a candle in his study.The chief historian reported to Hong Chengchou.Duo ErGun called please.Chengchou walks in, please be safe, and sit down.Dorgon asked him why he came.Chengchou said: "There is a happy event, and I am here to report to the prince."

Dorgon hurriedly asked: "He Xi?"

Chengchou said: "The thieves in the Central Plains are very powerful. Zhang Xianzhong broke Sichuan, Li Chuang broke Shanxi, and Emperor Chongzhen was in a panic. It seems that the Ming Dynasty will be lost sooner or later. Sitting on the mountain and watching the tigers fight, we just happen to Take this bet for big profits."

Dorgon said: "Old Heng, where did you get the news?"

Chengchou said: "the existing Li Chuang's proclamation was copied by the old minister. Please listen to it, my lord!"

As he said that, he took out a piece of writing paper from the boot shaft and put it on the table.Chengchou shook his head and tail, pulled the article and read it out, only to hear him read: Li Zhao, King of Xinshun: Ming ministers and common people know that God watches over them, and they really don't want to. When the people return, they only come to Su.Destiny is unchanging, and love is especially visible. Only in the past, do you know the reasons for gains and losses.Learn from the past and know the present, and every time you learn about it, you will be treated suddenly.In the Ming Dynasty, Taining was seated for a long time, and Gangji was soaked, and the king was not very dark, isolated and covered with constant numbers.The ministers do their best to act privately, and they are less loyal than the party and the public. Bribery leads the palace, and the power and fortune of the court gradually shifts.The eunuchs know all about the teeth and dogs, but with their eyes and ears, there are many prisoners, and the scholars have no heart to repay the courtesy;Sihao Tianyu is poor and benevolent, causing Zhaomin to suffer from disasters.I took up my commoner clothes, witnessed the haggard shape, and suffered from the pain of illness, thinking about the world and the earth, suffering from poverty, how can I bear the water and Yanshan?Wei Su Tanghuo, bowing to Hengji, appeasement of Qianli should still be concerned about Erjun.If the minister is not up to the mark, the emperor's heart is at the end of his mind, and I intend to make a serious complaint with confrontation.If you can empathize with the heavens and remember your ancestors, and save your virtues, I will benefit the predecessors.

Not stingy with different numbers, like Qi like Song Dynasty, enjoy worship forever.Use Zhang Er's filial piety, you have a room and a family, and the people are Xu Qing;Ke Tan Jue You, ministers friendship extravagant Intuit.Only today's edict, Yunbu's heart, the king will read it.Do not intimidate the ancestors with resentment, and do not occupy and endanger the ministers and concubines.The minister is prudent, still loyal to the emperor and father, and broadens the valley to his wealth.Sincerely.

Chengchou read it very vigorously, but Dorgon didn't understand a word, so he hurriedly said: "Stop reading it! Your literary words make people feel bored, why don't you speak honestly! You Han people, the last I like to chew on words. A sentence that is not important must be protracted. It is elegant to pile up a lot of words. What is the use of it! Fan Wencheng also said this at first, and I said it several times before I changed it. Like Kong Youde and others don't have such a temper, but I like him very much."

Chengchou stood up and said, "My lord's lesson is that this article is Li Chuang's proclamation."

Dorgon said: "I know, what's the idea above?"

Chengchou said: "It is said that it is not easy to be an emperor. Chongzhen is not a foolish emperor. It is just because all his subordinates are bad people who make things worse. The people in the country suffer so much; In order to save the people; the ending is the words to call the Ming Dynasty monarchs and ministers to surrender."

Dorgon said: "Li Chuang dares to say such big words. I think Shiyan must not be schooled. Wait until they get rid of him in the Ming Dynasty, and then we will deal with him slowly."

Chengchou said: "The prince has a clear plan, and he is secretly cooperating with the old minister."

Dorgon said: "We will teach and manage the army tomorrow, we only hope to get the Central Plains as soon as possible. Hong Hengjiu, you can also reunite with your family.

Chengchou said: "This is all due to the great blessing of the prince." "

Resign now.

The next day, Dorgon went to train his soldiers and prepared to march south.After a while, we found out that Li Chuang raised his troops to commit crimes in the north, and Daizhou, Ningwu, Datong and Juyong fell one after another.Zhou Yuji Lizhan died, and Eunuch Du surrendered to Li Chuangjun.Now Beijing is besieged by Li Chuang's army, and the emergency is abnormal.Dorgon smiled and said to Chengchou: "The day when Lao Heng will go home is not far away."

While talking, the second spy report arrived again, saying: "The city of Beijing was broken by Li Chuang.

Chongzhen Emperor Meishan hanged himself to death, Zhou Empress and others were all martyred, and the whereabouts of the crown prince is unknown.

Now the officials of the Ming Dynasty came forward one after another to persuade Li Chuang to proclaim himself emperor in a few days. "

Everyone still didn't care, Hong Chengchou had received the kindness of Chongzhen, and he didn't feel good when he realized it, his heart was sour, and the tears rolled down.When Dorgon saw it, he was very impressed, and said to Fan Wencheng: "As long as all the officials of the Ming Dynasty are like him, the country will be safe."

Wen Chengdao: "Just like the king's instructions, someone copied the persuasion table from the Southern Dynasty. There is a sentence in it: "Your Majesty questioned the capital of Yan, and threatened Yixia. Hanging people on the left of the river, Ze and insects, have more martial arts than Yao and Shun." , Mai Tang Wu without shame virtue. The only husband bestows the head, and the world returns. Human beings have also received the grace of Emperor Ming. Compared with our old Hong Heng, they are really far away from each other. It corresponds to the two ancient sayings, which are called "the wind knows the strong grass, and the world is chaotic and loyal." After listening to their singing, Chengchou said, One was bored, and his face flushed immediately.Just as he was about to leave the scene, it was suddenly reported that the deputy general Yang Kun and the guerrilla Guo Yunlong came to write a letter.Dorgon called in the envoy, and the two of them saluted and presented the letter from Sangui.When Dorgon asked Fan Wencheng to take it apart and look at it, he saw that it read: Wu Sangui, the commander-in-chief of the Shanhaiguan of the Ming Dynasty, wrote a letter to His Royal Highness the Regent of the Qing Dynasty with tears of blood: Sangui used the body of a mosquito to control the mountains and seas, and wanted to stick to it Dongfeng, and consolidate the capital.Unexpectedly, the thieves broke the que, the treacherous party opened the door, the late emperor was unfortunate, and the nine temples were ashes.Today, people are all angry, the will of the people has been separated, and its defeat can be awaited immediately.Our country has accumulated virtues and benevolence, and our thoughts have not faded away.

The clans of various provinces, such as those who were revived in the Jin Dynasty, Han Dynasty and Wu Dynasty, may have them.Sangui received the country's great kindness and wanted to raise his teacher to question his crimes.The land in the east of Naijing is small, and the troops have not yet gathered. I begged for the words of loyalty and righteousness of the lonely ministers of the subjugated country, and joined forces to destroy the bandits.Then my report to the Northern Dynasty is nothing more than money and silk?Will split the ground in return.I dare not break my promise, but His Highness has learned from it.

Wen Cheng told the letter again.Dorgon said: "It's a good opportunity to take the Central Plains. It's just that Li Chuang is not easy to mess with. You make plans for me, how can I get back."

Fan Wencheng said: "In my humble opinion, it's better to use the old strategy of Han people killing Han people, first recruit Sangui to surrender, and then send him to fight with Li Chuang's soldiers and horses. The battle is over, isn't it?"

Dorgon said: "This strategy is very good. You just write a reply letter to him for me."

Wen Cheng promised to write it back in an instant, and read it to Doer Bao: The regent of the Qing Dynasty reported to Shanhaiguan General Bing Ping Xibo Wu, Xiang Yu and Ming repaired, wrote many letters, and will not come out again today.The only thing is to decide the country and rest with the people.

Husband Bosi repays the favor of the Lord, and does not share the thieves' death, which is the righteousness of a loyal minister.Although Bo has always been my enemy, don't be suspicious now because of the past. In the past, Guan Zhong shot Huan in the hook, and later he was called Zhongfu.If Bo Ruo leads the people to come back, he will seal his homeland and become a noble and vassal king. He can avenge his country's revenge and protect his wealth, just like the eternal life of mountains and rivers.The bandits murdered the Emperor Ming, and Bo Hai was indignant with the smell of filth.Enmity against Ming is also enmity against me.When the pro-supervisor is a teacher of benevolence and righteousness, he sinks the boat and breaks the cauldron, vowing not to return to the banner, hoping to destroy the thieves and save the people from fire and water.April day of the first year of Shunzhi.The Regent Newspaper.

After Wen Cheng read it, he explained it carefully.Dorgon nodded, and asked the delivery to bring it back.So he ordered: enter the customs to ask for thieves.Order Kong Youde, Shang Kexi, and Geng Zhongming to carry the red barbarian cannons and lead the Han army as the vanguard in the front. Prince Duoduo of Yu and Prince Azig of England each commanded a powerful force of [-] people as the second team. Everyone will respond later.It's exactly: Qi Chi Xingdian, Wei Zhen haze wind.The moon is bright at the head of Shanhaiguan, and the clouds are dark at the foot of Changbai Mountain.With eyes full of flags, set off with golden bars; bow and arrows across the waist, and control the iron cavalry for the long march.From the outside, the Manchurian army can be regarded as an army of benevolence and righteousness.

Press momentarily.

Officer, what kind of god and Buddha do you think that Wu Sangui who aspires to prosper the state of Chu and weeps at the Qin court just mentioned?Let the kid tell his story slowly.This Wu Sangui, whose name is Changbai, was from Gaoyou County in Nanzhili.His father, Wu Xiang, was the admiral of the Beijing camp.

Sangui is just a martial artist, relying on Lao Tzu's blessing, he is a famous commander in the camp.

Later when Wu Xiang lost his chance and was sent to prison, someone recommended Sangui in front of Chongzhen, telling him how capable and heroic he was.Chongzhen was originally a curious person, so he wanted to copy Yu Shun, kill Gun, use Yu's old wisdom, and issued a special decree to promote Sangui as the commander-in-chief.In the 14th year of Chongzhen, he followed the Minister of Economics and Strategy Hong Chengchou to rescue Songshan, and he was defeated. Fortunately, he escaped quickly and was not captured.Otherwise, he and Mr. Hengjiu would have been appointed as the assistant of the new dynasty together.

At this moment, Qin Ting begged for help, and there was no need to waste his sanity.The atmosphere of Chuangjun was getting worse day by day, and Chongzhen worried about the courtiers.The courtiers are all on good terms with Sangui and his son, and they all said: "If you want to quell the bandits, you must use Wu's father and son."

So Wu Xiang was restored, and he was still the admiral of the Beijing camp. Sangui was named Ping Xibo, and he was given a python robe and a jade belt, and a sword above him. He was ordered to guard Shanhaiguan.

At this time, the atmosphere of Chuangjun was very strong, and there were many surprises overnight, and all the ministers and ministers in Beijing were worried.Concubine Tian's elder son Tian Huangqin, named Tian Wan, has a family of millions. The family built a famous garden with a collection of vocal tricks, gold beads, jade silk, and beautiful silk.On this day, it was reported that Taiyuan had fallen, that King Zhu Qiugui of Jin was imprisoned, and that all the savings accumulated by the Jin Mansion over the years had been plundered by Li Chuang. He was very worried and sighed unceasingly.Suddenly, I heard the sound of a piece of silk tree, which was very clear and clear, blowing from the corridor and water pavilion.Ask the left and right: "Who is still having fun?" The left and right said: "The Taijun is teaching Chen Yuanyuan how to play the piano in Lingbo Xiaoxie. "

Tian Wan said: "People are so anxious, they just gossiping."

Then he stepped up to the garden, walked all the way through the tiger skin stone corridor, and copied it from the corridor. He saw the four small windows of Lingbo Xiaoxie open, and the curtains were rolled up. A girl of eighteen or nineteen years old was facing the window. Sitting down, eyebrows drooping, finger rings moving slightly, Qu Chuncong provocatively provocative, even jade wrists are exquisite.The rhyme comes out late, and you can hear Dongding's eaves horse; the sound is thin, like hearing a silver armor playing a zither.She is graceful and graceful, and Hui has a sensitive heart. Who is it but Chen Yuanyuan!Sitting next to him was a middle-aged woman, who was his first wife Tian Taijun.

Tian Wan walked into the small pavilion, and Tian Taijun stood up early.Tian Wan forced a smile and said, "Madam is glad to teach this little girl how to do this."

Tian Taijun said: "She is very smart, just teach her once and she will be fine."

Tian Wan said: "It's a pity that such a good boy has cultivated wisdom but not good fortune. Otherwise, it would have been the lack of our imperial concubine."

When Yuanyuan heard about it, she pushed the piano and got up, and said with a smile: "The emperor and the emperor love me so much, why do you still say that I am not blessed?
Tian Wan said, "I'm old and useless. I've let down your youth." "

Yuanyuan was speechless, biting her nails, only looking at the Taijun.The Taijun said: "Yuanyuan, please listen to the newly learned "Chaotianyin" for a while."

Yuanyuan responded, and when he was about to drum, Tian Wan stopped and said, "There's no need to drum anymore, I'm not in the mood to listen to the qin music."

Taijun said: "Imperial family, your face is full of worries these days, what is the idea? Although our imperial concubine is gone, the emperor's favor has not diminished at all."

Tian Wan said: "Although the family is prosperous, it is better to have peace in the world. Now the thieves are so powerful, and today I received a shock report that Taiyuan has fallen again. The essence of the Jin residence has been looted. It is far from Shanxi. It's near, and we have a lot of savings, so it's fine if the thief doesn't come. If there is something once in a while, will your half-life hard work be in vain? I'm afraid you and I will lose our old lives. Woolen cloth."

Taijun said: "How many soldiers and horses are there in the capital? The Manchurians have come twice, and there is nothing, let alone these few thieves? Even if you really want something, it is also due to the large numbers. You are in a hurry right now." Sha, it's useless."

Turning back to Yuanyuan, he said, "Yuanyuan, did you hear me wrong?"

Yuanyuan said: "The words of the majesty are indeed not wrong. It's just that the ancients said well that the sky is destined to overcome man, and man is destined to overcome heaven. We just need to do our best to take precautions, and if we are careful, we may be able to save the day." , also unknown!"

Tian Wan said: "Your words are very reasonable. Let me ask you, do you have a way to prevent it? Tell me quickly."

Yuanyuan listened and smiled sweetly.If you want to know how Chen Yuanyuan answered, let's listen to the next chapter to break it down.
