Go back to the end of the Ming Dynasty to be a soldier

Chapter 368 Ming Xiu Plank Road, Darkness Chen Cang

After reading this letter, Dorgon was also trembling with anger, wishing to immediately chop up this dog slave Hong Chengchou.

But he saw that Hong Chengchou didn't say a word this time, looked at his back being dragged away by the soldiers, and looked at the letter again, and he followed out of the camp.

Forced his mind to calm down, Dorgon called two soldiers over, gave them some instructions, and the two soldiers promised to salute and left.

At this time, an imperial doctor brought several medical officers over, and was about to enter the empress dowager's camp when Dorgon stopped him, quietly pulled the imperial doctor aside, and whispered a few words of advice.

The imperial doctor was obedient, and then the imperial doctor brought several medical officers in.

After about half a stick of incense, Dorgon entered the tent of Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang.

The maids, eunuchs, medical officers, imperial physicians and others hurried over to salute the regent.

Dorgon signaled them not to be too polite, not to make noise, and came gently to the sick bed of Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang.

At this time, the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang was lying on the sick bed with a pale complexion and weak breathing, as if she had fallen asleep, and she seemed to be a different person in the blink of an eye.

Su Mo'er stood by, with a sad face, and secretly wiped away tears.

Dorgon looked at it, then turned around and quietly pulled the imperial doctor aside, pretending to say: "How is the Queen Mother?"

The imperial doctor also said seriously: "Returning to the Prince Regent, the Empress Dowager is overworked and anxious, so it is not appropriate to worry about it anymore. The servant will give you some medicine and rest for a while before you can recover."

"You are a doctor."

"The duty of a slave."...

Duo ErGun has been staying here when the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang woke up, and the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang saw that Duo ErGun was about to sit up.

Dorgon quickly supported her and let her lie down.

"The queen mother should not move lightly. Just now, the king has asked the imperial doctor. The queen mother can no longer worry about the state affairs. It is important to rest and take care of her body. If there is anything I can tell the king to do."

"Then I'll have to thank you...you must not spare that dog slave." The Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang also felt that she was too tired, and coughed as she spoke, Su Mo'er hurried over to beat her back.

Dorgon said: "Don't worry, Queen Mother, this king will definitely cut this daring dog into pieces, and the price will be no less than 3000 knives."

After Dorgon left, the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang opened her eyes and sat up from the bed.

"Lafayette..." Su Mo'er hurried to help her.

"I'm fine, just a little dizzy."

"It's time for Lafayette to take some medicine." Su Mo'er hurriedly brought over the boiled medicine.

"What kind of medicine do you use? Aijia is not sick." Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang waved her hand.

Su Mo'er was puzzled and said, "But Lafayette, the imperial doctor said..."

"Su Mo'er, don't believe the words of the imperial physician, but the prince regent has recovered and can continue to govern, and the Ai family should rest."

……

When Dorgon came out of the tent of the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang again, he felt much more at ease in his heart, and the angry expression on his face was gone. Instead, he felt that Lin Yi's letter had helped him a lot, allowing him to pick up again. Back to the feeling of the previous Qing Regent.

He came out of the tent of Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang and went straight to the execution ground...

After Hong Chengchou was dragged out, he knocked off his official hat, and the flower feathers on top rolled to the ground.Countless torches illuminated the place, and Hong Chengchou was tied to a pillar shirtless, making him even more skinny.

The Tartars in charge of the execution were making preparations before Ling Chi, with a basin of clear water and a set of meat-cutting knives of various sizes.

Because Ling Chi's execution is particular, and there must be a count of how many knives will be cut in total.

It is said that when Yuan Chonghuan was executed by Emperor Chongzhen Ling Chi, he was cut more than 3000 knives. When his meat was cut off, those onlookers who did not know the truth rushed to buy it and eat it. A generation of famous generals ended up in such a miserable state. After being forced to hang himself, if he found out the truth of the matter in the underworld, he wondered if he would have repented.

Hong Chengchou absolutely did not expect that disaster would come from the sky. Just now, he was a courtier who was an extremely human minister, discussing the affairs of the country with the queen mother and the regent's ministers. In a blink of an eye, he became a felon who was about to be executed by Ling Chi!

He hated Ji Dong, hated that Ji Dong hid a knife in his smile, he was too vicious, this time he was put to death.It's better to kill him in the Ming camp, and now he still has to suffer the crime of Ling Chi.

He hated himself even more, hated himself for being a traitor, it was really hard to get off the traitor once he was on a pirate ship.

He was about to be stabbed again in front of him, and he was executed Ling Chi. This kind of capital punishment makes people shudder to think about it.

This can't be easily explained by the phrase that companions are like companions to tigers. Although Emperor Chongzhen was suspicious of tigers, Hong Chengchou had been a famous official for many years and became a dependable minister of the Ming Dynasty, but during this period he felt only dragons. En Haodang, Emperor Chongzhen didn't touch a hair on him.

And since he surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, the Manchu Tartars have always been wary of him. They follow the right and wrong of our race, and their hearts must be different.It wasn't until one day that they really believed that Hong Chengchou had surrendered to the Qing Dynasty sincerely, so they entrusted him with a heavy responsibility, but their wariness towards him did not disappear.

Especially since the Battle of Ningjin, Hong Chengchou has been loyal to Daqing. In his own words, he is a daimyo who has been sorry, and he must never let Daqing down again.

But these Manchu Tartars wanted to kill him time and time again. Hong Chengchou, who was very good at thinking about life, had to come to a conclusion that it was too difficult to be a traitor!

Hong Chengchou was tied to a pillar, feeling as if he had knocked over a five-flavored bottle.

The executioner of the Tartars came again, his bald head shining brightly under the light of the torch, his pigtails of money swaying back and forth, and the sharpened knife in his hand shining brightly.

The executioner came close to him, looking fierce, Hong Chengchou didn't know where he would start first?

Not daring to look, I closed my eyes.

At this time, the executioner said: "My lord, there is an order from above, please bear with me, don't blame the little one."

"Keep people under the sword!" At the critical moment, Dorgon's personal soldiers appeared.

These two personal soldiers came to the front and said a few words to the soldiers who were executing the execution, and no one dared to execute Hong Chengchou anymore.

Until the Regent appears.The Qing army and the two guards who were executing the sentence saw that the regent was coming, and came over to salute quickly.

Dorgon didn't say anything, he shouted back the generals, and loosened Hong Chengchou's tying rope with his own hands.

Then these two trusted soldiers will help put Hong Chengchou's clothes on, and then take Hong Chengchou away...

Then Hong Chengchou came to see the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang. At this time, the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang had already got up from the bed and was sitting in front of the dressing table. Su Moer was combing her long hair, her face had returned to normal, and the boiled medicine was beside her. Let him take a sip without drinking.

Dorgon understood eighty-nine times, this woman is really powerful, she knows everything, since that's the case, he doesn't have to hide it anymore, so he backed away, leaving only the two of them in the big tent.

Dorgon bowed and saluted: "Queen Mother, this king has released him, please forgive me."

The Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang sighed softly, "My lord is right, the Ai family has been too restless these days... Lin is so ruthless, you can persuade Hong Chengaiqing on behalf of the Ai family, you can discuss the matter of the peace talks." .”

Dorgon felt that this woman was a bit great, but he was a bit despicable, his face tightened, not without frustration.

When it came to the peace talks, Dorgon thought: "Queen Mother, you don't need to discuss it. What can you come up with? But let Mr. Hong go to talk with Lin Yi. The king only needs to use one person next to the Queen Mother. I don't know if the Queen Mother is willing to do so."

"My lord is talking about Su Mo'er. Did my lord start thinking about her a long time ago?"

Dorgon lowered his head and said: "The queen mother is joking, I only have the queen mother in my heart, and I will never have a maidservant."

"Hmph." The Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang blushed and snorted softly, "Let's get down to business, what does the lord want Su Mo'er to do?"

"Empress Dowager Mingjian, let Su Morer go to Mingying to lift Ji Yi's head back, and all problems will be solved."

The Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang looked at Dorgon, the two were silent for a moment, and then the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang called Su Mo'er in.

After Su Morer came in, she saluted the two of them, but the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang stopped her, "Su Morer has a difficult matter for you to do, would you like it?"

"If Lafayette has something to do, just give orders, and the servants will die."

"You pack up and go to Mingying, and bring back Lin Yi's head." The Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang said that Lin Yi gritted her teeth.

Su Morer was taken aback for a moment, and then promised: "My servant will follow Lafayette's order, and I will go to prepare now."

Su Mo'er turned around and left after saying that, the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang called him back, "Don't be so panic, you stay with Ai's family tonight, and leave tomorrow night, and you must come back alive, don't suffer any harm, So as not to be distressed by the family."

Su Mo'er was very moved and knelt down to kowtow to the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang...

After Dorgon left the tent of Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang, he returned to his tent and ordered Hong Chengchou to be brought up.

Hong Chengchou knelt down and kowtowed: "Thank you, the regent, for the rescue. If it wasn't for his personal help, the servant would have become a pile of minced meat."

"Get up." Dorgon helped him up, "You don't have to worry about today's affairs, and the Queen Mother didn't mean to put you to death. This is all caused by Ji Dong, which made us mess up. Regretted, I took back my order in time, and I let this king comfort you just now."

Hong Chengchou went through many twists and turns, one time he was a hero, another time he was a criminal minister, another time he was asked to be divided into five horses, another time he was asked to advise, another time he was wanted to be executed by Ling Chi, and now he was wanted to appease him.

He is tired now, it seems that this traitor still hasn't been enough, but it's not enough, he can't help himself.

Therefore, I was grateful to Dorgon: "I am flattered, thank you for the grace of the queen mother and the prince, I will do my best to serve the Qing Dynasty, serve the queen mother and the prince, and do my best until I die."

Dorgon nodded approvingly: "It's up to you to go to the Ming camp for negotiations tomorrow, deal with them, and agree to their conditions as much as possible, but try to delay the time until the Ming camp is in chaos, and you immediately get out and withdraw." , this king will give him a plank road in the open, and secretly store Chen Cang, and then send someone to meet you. Then you will make a great contribution by defeating the Ming army."

"The prince strategizes, and the servant leads the order."
