Ashes

Dorgon frowned, still chewing on the meat: "It's too unpalatable."

Because I left in a hurry, I didn't bring anything, let alone the seasoning. How can a roast duck without any seasoning be delicious?

Huang Taiji's face turned dark: "Don't be picky, it's good to eat something."

Dorgon was indeed not picky, and he had to eat mouthful after mouthful, but it was like cotton wool in his mouth.

Huang Taiji's face softened a little, and he said solemnly: "Next time I will remember to bring the seasoning."

"What do you expect next time? Mynah, when have you been so free?"

"You have to catch your breath, don't you?"

"Are you tired?"

Huang Taiji thought for a moment: "No, no, I still have a lot to do."

I don't know what it is to be tired. Perhaps for him, he can't and dare not rest. Most of the things in the world, if you don't advance, you will retreat.

"Dorgon, to you, what kind of person can be called a good brother?"

Good brother?Does he want to be a good brother?Dorgon sneered in his heart.

"Azig is your good brother?"

Azig?Simple minded, impatient, most of the time he has to help himself, how can he be a good brother?

Dorgon shook his head.

"I think so. Azige, you don't like it." Huang Taiji cut off another large piece of meat and handed it to Dorgon, "In my opinion, brother Chu Ying is as good as brother Daishan." He is a good brother. He has been with him since he was a child and taught him everything. But in the eyes of the second brother, this big brother is very annoying."

There was a hint of sarcasm in the words, but Dorgon could hear some clues. Could it be that there is a discord between the eldest brother and the second brother?

"Actually, Brother Daishan is not a bad person, and his temperament is not bad." Huang Taiji said, "There is only one problem, that is, he wants to keep all the good things for himself. In fact, how does he know that only what he has is willing to give, and he does not give it to others." Sweetness, how can others be willing to follow him?"

"Aren't you afraid that I will tell Father Khan if you speak ill of Second Brother?" Dorgon said half-truthfully.

Huang Taiji chuckled: "Will Father Khan believe you?"

"Aren't you hurting me by telling me such things that I shouldn't listen to?"

Huang Taiji stared at him for a while: "To Duduo, you are definitely a competent elder brother. If you treat him well, he will be content."

"What about you? Are you good or bad?"

"It seems that you should evaluate it." Huang Taiji smiled inexplicably.

Dorgon took a bite of the duck, and said ambiguously: "It's okay." He didn't want to offend him, but he didn't want to.

Huang Taiji laughed a few times, as if he was not satisfied with this answer: "But sometimes I feel that you have a lot of opinions on me."

"Brother, you think too much." Dorgon met his gaze and met his gaze, his gaze was burning, direct and frank, this kind of gaze contact made him fearless.

On the contrary, Huang Taiji turned his head to avoid it first, and hooked the corner of his mouth.

"Do you want to inherit the position of Khan?" Dorgon asked unexpectedly.

Huang Taiji was stunned, his face changed slightly.

"Do you want to?" Dorgon moved closer and asked.

Huang Taiji's face was uncertain.A certain nerve in his brain seemed to be pulled out by him, and it was twisted around his fingers, his chest was tightly pressed, and every breath experienced untold hardships.

Just when Dorgon thought he was going to get angry or put on a show, Huang Taiji suddenly smiled jokingly: "It seems that you really have a problem with me."

He was fooled by him, Dorgon couldn't continue to ask, and the chat would change if he asked.

Old and cunning guy!Dorgon thought secretly.

"Brother also has a problem with me." Dorgon sat down again, "If it was Jierhalang, you definitely wouldn't answer him like that."

"But you're not Jierharang either."

Dorgon stopped chewing, and held a piece of meat in his mouth for a long time before swallowing it in one gulp. The piece of meat was huge, and it stuck in his throat when he swallowed it, which was quite laborious.

"That's true." He raised his eyebrows and said.

Huang Taiji stared straight at him, as if trying to see through him.

"Do you still want it?" Huang Taiji pointed to the roast duck.

"No, I'm full."

Only then did Dorgon realize that he hadn't moved a bite.

Huang Taiji gnawed the whole duck one by one, tasted it carefully, and when he ate the rest of the duck, he wiped his mouth and said, "Well, it's not very tasty."

Due to the relocation of the capital, Hetu Abi was much deserted and lonely before, but this did not affect the two people outside the city enjoying the quiet night.

Unknown birds on the treetops are cooing. If you have never heard it before, you will feel a little creepy, but if you are used to it, you will feel a sense of peace.

When Dorgon woke up, it was still dark and it was impossible to guess what time it was.

He was covered with Huang Taiji's coat, which should have been put on by him while he was asleep.He didn't move, but his eyes drifted aside.

Huang Taiji sat by the fire, and he didn't seem to have slept at all.The fire had been burning for a long time, and the light of the fire was dimmed. He threw some branches into it, and turned on the fire again.

The direction he was facing was Niyaman Hill, although his eyes didn't stay there for a moment, but it could be seen that that was the reason why he came tonight.

Is he starting to feel a sense of crisis?In other words, he has always maintained a sense of crisis, and now, it is even worse.

For no reason, Huang Taiji suddenly turned sideways to look at him, and found that he was awake.

"Why did you wake up?" Perhaps it was because he hadn't spoken for a long time, his voice was slightly hoarse, and it was especially deep in this dark night.

"When did I fall asleep?"

"For a while, I was still talking to you, and before you knew it, you fell silent. Did you wake up from the cold?" Huang Taiji spoke and turned on the bonfire again, and the fire burned even more vigorously.

Dorgon shook his head.

"It's uncomfortable to sleep on the ground? Or, let's go to the city to rest."

"No, I've had enough sleep."

"Then come to sleep and stay close to the fire to keep warm." Huang Taiji waved to him.

Dorgon still shook his head, sat up and yawned.

Huang Taiji moved a few times, sat next to him, stared at him with his head down, his nose almost touched his face, his eyes reflected the fire, burning in his pupils, as if scorching hot.

Dorgon shrank back reflexively.

"I've always found it very strange. When I was young, I hugged you and you screamed. Now that you are older, I don't hug you anymore, but I always look disgusted when I let you approach me. Do I have thorns on my body? ?”

Dorgon blinked.How to answer him: I am a man in his dozens years old, how can I let you just hug him?What are you doing near you? Don't you just find yourself awkward?

Unable to answer him, he turned over and lay down again, pulling his clothes to cover most of his face: "I'm still a little sleepy, I'll sleep again."

Huang Taiji looked at his back and smiled helplessly.

When Dorgon woke up again, it was early morning.

The two washed up by the river, cleaned themselves up, and prepared to go back to Jiefan.

Huang Taiji helped Dorgon onto the horse, took out a dagger, and put it in his hand: "Give it to you."

"why?"

"It's your birthday soon, so I won't prepare any other presents."

This dagger was what he used to cut the roast duck last night, and he had seen it several times before, and he carried it with him.The handle and scabbard are very comfortable to hold in the hand, and the patterns on it are simple and dignified, and when pulled out half an inch, the sharpness is fully revealed.

"Thank you myna." Dorgon inserted the dagger into his waist.

Huang Taiji got on his horse and took a last look at Hetuala.

"We're back."

The Kingdom of Jin continued to expand its power, and tribes came to seek refuge one after another.Among them, the five tribes of Khalkha, Mongolia, were the largest. Due to the situation, they had to swear an alliance with the Kingdom of Jin.

In order to consolidate Daishan's status, Nurhachi entrusted him with responsibility for all major events.Daishan was also treated with care, and everything was handled properly, and Nurhachi was very satisfied.

His status is unprecedentedly prominent, far surpassing the other three big Baylors.

Gradually, he also began to get overwhelmed with complacency, beginning to lose track of what was important, what he could do and what he couldn't do.

The cause was just a trivial matter, a quarrel between two maids in Nurhachi Palace, which resulted in the adultery between the maid and the guard.This matter was checked and checked, and finally it was brought to Abahai's head.

Finally, her affair with Daishan was exposed, and it was said that she often gave Daishan things, and often left the palace late at night.And it was Ajigen, a Mongolian attendant of Nurhachi who exposed her.

"No wonder the concubine always helps the eldest Baylor, it turns out that they have had a relationship in private!" As soon as the news leaked out, Ji Erhalang came to look for Huang Taiji.

Huang Taiji frowned, looking anxious.

Ji Erhalang said to himself: "Big Baylor is too arrogant to do such a disgraceful thing. I heard that the sweat and thunder were furious, and I was so angry that my face turned red and I jumped up..."

"How many people know about this matter?" After all, it is not a glorious matter. Before finding out, Nurhachi will definitely block people's eyes and ears, but there is no impenetrable wall in this world, let alone such a big matter. Staring, if you want to hide it, you can't hide it.

"I overheard brother Amin talking to his people. I want to know a lot of people."

Huang Taiji was silent.

"Brother, this is a great opportunity! Big Baylor has caused such a big disaster, and Da Khan will definitely punish him! We can also take action!" Jierhalang couldn't hide his excitement.

"Don't worry, this happened suddenly."

"What happened suddenly? Didn't we wonder that they are closely related, but we didn't think in that direction."

"We have to find out everything before we can do anything. Don't be rash." Huang Taiji still looked calm.

Seeing that he was calm as usual, Jierharang also cooled down: "Well, I was too impatient."

This sudden incident hit Huang Taiji in front of him, and he still couldn't sort out the ins and outs.

At this moment, someone suddenly knocked on the door.
