Ashes

Who is Borjin?Just a third-class lieutenant general.When A-Dun was imprisoned, he was the only one who dared to stand up to defend A-Dun, but his words were light and ineffective.But in Dorgon's view now, this person can play some role, because more importantly, he is a man with a red flag.

Although since Daishan lost power, Nurhachi handed Xianghongqi to Yue Tuoling, but they are father and son after all, and Xianghongqi is still within Daishan's sphere of influence.

Since Borjin is arguing against Aden and is a person with a red banner, it is most appropriate for him to report to Nurhachi that Hu Erhan is the one who provoked discord among the Zhubeiles.

For Huang Taiji, Daishan is a shield for him to fend off his hidden arrows, and the same is true for Dorgon.

In addition, Dorgon needs to arrange another person, that is Hu Erhan's younger brother, Daltai.

After Aden was imprisoned for more than a month, it was Hu Erhan's turn.

Ji Erhalang's face was not very good-looking, because he had just been trained by Nurhachi, and the training was very difficult.Therefore, when he came to see Huang Taiji, he still couldn't slow down.

Huang Taiji also saw that he was unhappy, so he ordered someone to serve him tea and sit with him.

Ji Erhalang took a few sips of tea, took a deep breath, and exhaled heavily, as if he wanted to spit out all the unpleasant foul air.

Seeing that his face turned slightly better, Huang Taiji said: "What did Father Khan say?"

"Just scold us people, as disciples of the clan, but also curry favor with outsiders, don't know how to be ashamed, and say... and say..." Ji Erhalang had a bitter face.

"Don't worry, speak slowly."

"Also...you are so eager to win over people, do you think you want to sweat profusely?"

Hu Erhan was accused of extorting property from Zhubei Le in Liaodong, and those who participated in the bribery were Jierhalang, Zaisangu, Yuetuo, Shuotuo, etc., and it was Hu Erhan's younger brother Dartai who reported the matter.

Seeing that his father Khan spoke so seriously, Huang Taiji knew that this matter was no small matter.

Jierhalang couldn't figure it out: "Brother, what do you mean? Then, based on the relationship between the few of us and Brother Xia, isn't it normal to send things back and forth on weekdays? How could it be flattery? Him? And how did you put on the hat of bribery?"

Huang Taiji got up and walked a few steps in the room, his brows were deeply furrowed, and he didn't speak.

"Anyway, the few of us were scolded bloody. This sweating is obviously a big deal."

"It seems that Father Khan doesn't want to use him anymore."

"why?"

"Do you still remember that two months ago, Hu Erhan transferred his younger brother back from the station in order to visit his Fujin's grave, but was punished by his father? In the end, it was not a trivial matter, but Father Khan was also furious , and fined everyone involved.”

"How on earth did Brother Shrimp make Khan so angry?"

"I guess, the root of the disaster was planted in the case of the second brother and the concubine. From then on, Father Khan began to suspect Hu Erhan. I also reminded him to be more careful in doing things, but he didn't take it seriously. He often contradicts his father Khan."

Ji Erhalang was thoughtful: "According to what you said, is Da Khan deliberately using this incident to suppress Brother Xia?"

"I have another piece of news. It is said that when Aden was imprisoned a while ago, Borjin approached his father Khan and had a secret long talk with him."

"What did you say?"

Huang Taiji shook his head: "I don't know, so I have been vigilant since then if something happened, but I didn't expect it to be Hu Erhan."

"Borjin is a man with a red banner."

Huang Taiji's face darkened: "I didn't expect the second brother to still not give up."

Ji Erhalang thought for a moment and said, "Tell me, should I ask Da Khan to intercede with Brother Xia?"

"No!" Huang Taiji categorically vetoed, "Don't you understand? Father Khan just wanted to find an excuse to punish him. Without this case of bribery, there will be other things in the future. You have already been scolded by Father Khan If you go to intercede for him again, you may even make Father Khan suspicious of you. I can't let his affairs affect your future."

"Then we just stand by and watch?"

"Who can stop the people that Father Khan wants to clean up? In short, we must be more careful in the future."

Jierhalang sighed and nodded.

Huang Taiji pondered for a while, then said: "Go and tell Dundari to ask him to call Dartai, I have something to ask him."

"I want to ask him why he reported Brother Xia?"

"That's right, his matter came suddenly, I have to ask clearly."

When Dartai knelt on Huang Taiji reluctantly, he was nervous, but he didn't know what attitude Huang Taiji had towards him reporting on his brother.

"Daltai, does your brother treat you well?" Huang Taiji asked.

Daltai buried his head very low: "My brother is very strict with me."

Huang Taiji laughed: "Is that bad?"

"No, it's pretty good."

"Then why are you accusing him of taking bribes?"

"I just don't think my brother is doing it right."

"What's wrong?"

Daltai lowered his head even lower.

"Just say it, I won't blame you." Huang Taiji said.

Daltai raised his head and met Huang Taiji's gaze: "Brother, he is too proud. He always looks down on the little Baylors because of his military achievements, and sometimes complains at home, saying that he is worse than being born if he does a good job." good."

"You swear that what you say is true?"

"I swear! In fact, my brother has meritorious deeds, but it was Da Khan who gave him the opportunity. If I have the opportunity, I can also contribute to Daikin."

Huang Taiji looked at him for a while, then smiled and said: "Well, since you want to make a difference so much, I will promote you to a level and perform well. If you do well, you will naturally surpass your brother."

After Daltai left, Ji Erhalang, who had been watching from the sidelines, asked aloud, "Brother, do you believe him?"

"I don't believe it." Huang Taiji said coldly.

"Then why do you still use him?"

"Things have already happened, and it's useless for me to punish him. Since he doesn't want to say who instigated it, it's better to put him where I can see it. I want to see who he is in contact with. Who is behind him."

Daltai was overjoyed when he left Sibeile's mansion. He thought that most of Sibeile came to scold him, but he didn't expect to be promoted instead of scolding him.

Hearing what little Baylor Dorgon said, there is nothing wrong. Si Baylor really doesn't like his brother. Suing him, not only will nothing happen, but it will be beneficial.

At this time, Dorgon was watching from the corner outside the mansion. When he saw Daltai walking out of Sibeile Mansion with a happy face, he knew that he was right.

Dorgon also knew that he probably wouldn't have a few words with this person in the future, because from the moment he stepped out of the Sibeile Mansion, he was under the strict surveillance of Huang Taiji.

As he was thinking this way, he stepped into Sibeile Mansion and continued to be his good brother.

Nurhachi executed A Dun and Hu Erhan successively.After all, A-Dun could not escape death, and Destiny Khan's attitude towards those who instigated Zhubeile's struggle was very clear, one to kill one, two to kill one pair.

When Dorgon came back from Huang Taiji, he felt that the atmosphere at home was extremely joyful. Azig and Duoduo surrounded Abahai, seeming to be talking about happy things.

"Dorgon, come here, I have something to tell you." Abahai greeted.

Duduo couldn't bear it for a moment, and threw himself on him: "Brother, you are going to be the banner owner!"

Banner owner?Dorgon was puzzled: "What banner owner?"

Abahai pulled Dorgon over, his eyes sparkling with excitement: "Khan said, in just a few days, distribute the Niulu under the two yellow flags to your three brothers, and then let Azig be the one with the yellow flag Banner owner, you are the owner of Zhenghuang Banner. Dorgon, are you happy?"

Azig patted his chest triumphantly: "I will also be the banner owner Baylor from now on!"

In Dorgon's memory, the owner of the Zhenghuang Banner, Father Khan, obviously belonged to Duo Duo, why did he change his mind?

Duoduo shook Dorgon's arm and said, "Ah, I'm so envious of you, I also want to be the banner owner."

Dorgon was not happy at all, because he had no mental preparation for this matter. In his plan, he could hide behind Huang Taiji, hide well, and then do what he wanted without any scruple. As the banner owner, the goal is obvious.

While the others were still in joy, Dorgon pulled Duduo aside: "Duoduo, you want to be the banner owner, right?"

"Yes." Dodo nodded desperately.

"If Father Khan talks about this in a while, you can ask Father Khan to be the banner owner, and I will also tell Father Khan that I will be the banner owner for you."

Duoduo was puzzled: "Why? Brother, don't you want to be the banner owner?"

"Think about it, but don't rush this moment."

"Brother, what the hell are you doing? I don't even want to be the banner owner for you? I don't want you to let me."

"I have my reasons. Isn't it the same for you and me to do this banner owner? Aren't they all belong to our three brothers?"

"But……"

"Don't worry too much, just do what I say."

While talking, Nurhachi had already arrived, and Azig was the first to greet him: "Father Khan, can I really be the banner owner?"

Nurhachi smiled at Abahai and said, "Your mother has already told you? Really, I want to tell you personally."

Dorgon whispered to Duo Duo: "Go and ask Father Khan to be the banner owner."

Duoduo twitched a bit, but after all, being the banner owner was indeed what he wanted in his heart, and he would not pretend to be coquettish: "Father Khan! I want to be the banner owner too! Father Khan, you said that you love me the most!" ! Give me a flag owner too!"

Nurhachi hugged Duduo who was lying on his body like an octopus: "There are only two owners of the yellow flag, how can Ama create one more?"

"But I really want to be the banner owner! I have two older brothers, so I can't leave me alone!"

"Of course there is a difference between age and age. Do you still want to be ahead of your brothers?"

"Then I still want to be the banner owner!"

"Father Khan." Dorgon interjected, "give Duo Duo my banner owner."

Hearing this, Nurhachi seemed a little unhappy: "What do you think of the banner owner? Where can you push around? Don't do it if you don't want to do it."

The atmosphere suddenly became tense. Abahai looked at his sons in embarrassment, trying to appease Nurhachi, but he didn't dare to speak easily for a while.

But Dorgon looked calm: "Father Khan, I thought that I still need to practice as much as the older brothers. Brother Azig is an adult, so of course he should lead the flag by himself. Duduo and I are still here." Little one, we should learn from our brothers together. What's more, we brothers don't distinguish each other, it doesn't matter who will be the banner owner, as long as Duoduo is happy, I, the older brother, will also be happy."

He spoke sincerely and said that the brotherhood was greater than the sky. Nurhachi immediately turned his anger into joy, and praised him for being generous and sensible: "Well, Dorgon, don't worry, I will break up sooner or later." Give you a flag."

"Thank you, Father Khan."

In March of the following year, Nurhaci announced the implementation of "eight belor co-governance". Eight banner masters beile jointly governed the country and discussed state affairs.

The eight banner masters Baylor are Zhenghongqi Daishan, Xianglanqi Amin, Zhenglanqi Mangguertai, Zhengbaiqi Huangtaiji, Xiangbaiqi Dudu, Xianghongqi Yuetuo, Xianghuangqi Azig, Zhenghuangqi Dodo.

And no Dorgon.

The city wall of Liaoyang was seriously damaged in the first battle of Liaoyang and Shenyang, and there are still several places that have not been repaired.

Dorgon sat alone on a high tower, which used to be a tower, but it has been destroyed beyond recognition, with broken stones and bricks everywhere, and traces of burning.

He picked up a gravel and threw it far away.The stone drew a blue arc in the air, and it was unknown where it landed.

A figure turned up from the side, entered his line of sight, and walked slowly towards him.

Dorgon looked sideways, it was Huang Taiji.
