Ashes

"Great." Abtay praised.

Dutang Uergudai is from the Hada Tribe and the husband of Mang Guji. He is the closest to Huang Taiji in the Dutang.When it comes to dealing with Urgudai, Abtai is definitely more active than Dorgon.

With the help of Dorgon in recent years, Abutai has made countless military exploits, and now he is well-known, and he is highly regarded by Nurhachi.But among all the capital halls, Urgudai is still the top. If he falls, Abutai is very likely to be promoted to the first capital hall.

Abu Tai asked: "How does the little elder brother plan to deal with him?"

Dorgon looked at Abu Tai who was full of expectation, smiled, and said the plan unhurriedly.

After parting with Abu Tai, Dorgon went back to the Khan Palace alone, still thinking about his plan in his mind, for fear of omissions.

You know, after all, I am still young, and I don't have real power, and there are not many people I can rely on. Once Huang Taiji catches me, my disadvantage will be too obvious.

When he passed a garden, he saw a person sitting under a tree in the yard. It was Tsung Gulun.

She turned out to be alone, and there was no one to accompany her. She was sitting on the swing, kicking her feet on the ground, but she didn't have much strength, and the method of using force was wrong. The swing swayed slightly, but it couldn't swing high.She seemed a little annoyed, stomping her feet angrily.

Dorgon hesitated for a moment, then walked towards her.

When she saw Dorgon, a flowery smile appeared on her face.

"Do you want me to help you?"

"Okay!"

Dorgon walked up behind her, pushed lightly, and the swing started to swing.

"Higher! Higher!" Tunggulun said with a smile.

"Aren't you afraid? No matter how high you are, you will fall down." Although Dorgon said so, he still put more force on his hand, and the swing swing was even bigger.

Tungulun giggled and felt that he was about to fly, it was a kind of joy to get off the ground and fly into the blue sky.There is a pair of butterflies embroidered on her embroidered shoes, the pair of butterflies almost jump out with every rise of her, the silver threads on the wings of the butterflies are shining in the sun, at this moment how much she wishes to be real It is a butterfly, dancing lightly.

After playing for a while, Dorgon got tired of hearing her laughing, so he grabbed the swing and helped her down.

It's hard to imagine that she is the same age as herself, and she will forget her age if she is not careful, just like being with Duoduo, most of them have the mentality of coaxing her younger brother to play.What was she doing when she was her age?I don't remember it at all, and I hardly dare to recall how playful and naughty my real childhood was.

In Dorgon's impression, Cong Gulun was a lonely and sensitive girl.She was the youngest daughter of her father, but she didn't get much love. Her older sisters were all much older than her, and they were married as adults, so they had few playmates.Sometimes he would meet her at Huang Taiji's place, and he would love her in every possible way, but after all, Huang Taiji had too many things to do to take care of her at all.

Dorgon asked, "Why are you here alone?"

Cong Gulun pouted: "I made Erniang angry, so I ran out alone."

"You don't listen to her?"

"No!" Tunguren argued, "I just told her that I wanted to ask Father Khan why Erdene Baksh was killed, and she got angry."

Dorgon was startled, he didn't expect this little girl to have such a heart.

"Then you went to ask?"

"No... I'm afraid..."

"What are you afraid of?"

"I'm afraid... I'm afraid Father Khan will kill me if he gets angry..."

Dorgon laughed: "Stop talking nonsense, it's too late for Father Khan to hurt you, how could he kill you?"

"But if I make Father Khan unhappy, won't he kill me?"

"You are Grid, he will not kill you."

Conggulun lowered his head and pursed his mouth: "So what about Ge Ge, even if it is elder brother, if Father Khan is angry, shouldn't he still kill him?"

Dorgon felt a chill in his heart, he never thought that such words would come out of such a child naturally, what kind of relationship between father and son and brother is it that makes a child in his early ten years old to express the relationship between family and blood? Seeing so cold?

He knew that she was talking about the elder brother Chu Ying, so he couldn't help but looked around guiltily, fearing that someone would hear her and spread rumors and cause trouble.

It is conceivable that if Huang Taiji heard this sentence, he would be so angry that he would ask who taught her these words, and then punish everyone around her.

"Do you still want to play again?" Dorgon shook the swing, not wanting her to continue thinking about these unhappy things.

"Okay!" Conggulun immediately smiled brightly again. After all, she was still a child, and she could forget all her troubles when she had someone to play with her.

Most of the time, being a child is more fun.

Huang Taiji's study may rarely be so lively, Jierhalang, Degelei, and Yuetuo are all there.

A few people are closing the door, playing dominoes.Of course, Huang Taiji was too lazy to join them, he hid aside and read a book, and let them shout.

It was De Gelei and Yue Tuo who made the noise, yelling non-stop.Holding the cards in his hand, Jierhalang felt that they were having a headache and kept telling them to shut up, but the two of them became more energetic, and their voices overwhelmed Jierhalang.Jierhalang also got angry and raised his voice, and the three of them had a quarrel.

Huang Taiji couldn't read the book because of their quarrel, so he could only look at them angrily and funny.

At this time, Urgudai came.As soon as he entered the room and saw the bustling scene, he couldn't help itching his hands, and wanted to join in the fun.

"What do you want from me?" Huang Taiji asked.

It was only then that Urgudai realized that looking for Huang Taiji was a serious matter: "That's right, that Li Diankui from Yongning, he sent me ten taels of gold, saying that Aita gave it to me."

"Ata?"

"That's right, Sibeile, that Aita doesn't get along with me on weekdays, it's not at all, do you think he wants to harm me?"

Ji Erhalang and the others heard it, and they all looked at them.

Dege said with a smile: "Did Aita realize that Urgudai's forehead is high and powerful, and wants to get close to you?"

Yue Tuo also responded: "He is quite generous in his actions."

Huang Taiji thought for a while, and said lightly: "Since Aita gave it to you, you should keep it first."

Seeing that Huang Taiji had said so, Ur Gudai was relieved.

Over there, Yue Tuo shouted, "Urgudai's son-in-law, come and play with us?"

Urgudai's thoughts were already on their side, Yue Tuo urged him, and immediately moved over.

But Jierhalang put down the cards in his hand instead.

"Are you still playing?" De Gelei asked when he saw his distraught look.

"Let's play," Jierhalang said.

De Gelei pulled Urgudai and Yuetuo: "Come on, let's play with us, ignore him."

Jierhalang walked to Huang Taiji's side and called softly: "Brother?"

Huang Taiji and him looked at each other, and they understood each other: "Li Diankui, did you hear that?"

"Well, then I'll take care of it." Saying that, Jierhalang walked out.

Huang Taiji's eyes turned cold, this time, he must find out the person behind this.

But things did not go as smoothly as Huang Taiji hoped, and the people sent to monitor Li Diankui never heard back.

Jierhalang was very worried. Their plan was to monitor Li Diankui and see who he met with in private to find out who was behind the scenes. people.

"Brother, do you think we should take some action, and if we drag it on, the charge of accepting bribes on the forehead of Urgudai will be confirmed."

Huang Taiji was also extremely anxious, but more unwillingly: "If we give up halfway and miss this opportunity again, it will be even more difficult to find out who is behind the scenes."

"But he took money with your permission. If it is revealed, it will implicate you. Isn't it a great disadvantage to you?"

Huang Taiji's expression was stern: "Sometimes, to accomplish something, you have to pay a price."

"They haven't contacted Li Diankui these days. They must be afraid of showing their feet. They are too cunning."

"If they weren't cunning, could Hu Erhan and Erdeni fall into his hands one by one? Which one of them hasn't stood up in the bloody storm for many years?" Huang Taiji said coldly, "If the prey is not cunning, wouldn't it be too much for a hunter?" Bored?"

"I'm just worried about you." Jierharang was worried, "I'm just afraid of Khan..."

"Don't worry, I have my sense of proportion." Seeing that Jierharang was worried about him, Huang Taiji's heart warmed up. At least one thing was certain, that is, no matter what happened, he would stand by his side and accompany him.

Li Diankui really reported to Dabeile Daishan that Urgudai had accepted property from Han officials, and Daishan immediately informed Nurhachi that not only he, but also Fuzhou Beiyu Wang Bing also reported together.Wang Bing reported that he took a horse, 50 taels of silver, and other things such as python satin and pearls, while Li Diankui reported that he took 20 taels of gold, and fox gizzards and leather jackets.

In the hall, Urgudai knelt in the middle, Nurhachi was condescending with an angry face, and the ministers of Baylor on both sides also attended in turn.

Nurhachi scolded angrily: "Since I came to Liaoshen, I have warned you many times not to imitate the culture of bribery in the Ming Dynasty, but you are lucky. As the governor, you know how to break the law."

Urgudai shouted wronged: "Dahan Mingjian, I didn't take so many things. I took Li Diankui's gold, but it was only ten taels. How can there be 20 taels, and he said it was given to me by Aita. Dare to take it, this matter..." He glanced at Huang Taiji, hesitated for a long time, and finally said, "Si Baylor also knows about this matter, and Baylors such as Dege, Jierhalang, and Yuetuo can also do it." Proof. I really don't know anything about the rest of the horses, pearls, and brocades."

Nurhachi turned his attention to Huang Taiji and the others: "Do you know about this?"

Huang Taiji immediately knelt down in front of Nurhachi, and the rest of them also knelt behind him. De Gelei and Yue Tuo didn't expect to be involved at all, and looked panic-stricken. Although Jierhalang was calm, he couldn't hide his worry.

Huang Taiji said: "Father Khan, Urgudai's son-in-law told me, and I did see that he only took ten taels of gold. I think he had a private relationship with Aita, so he didn't care."

"Didn't care? Are you really not paying attention?" Nurhachi slapped heavily on the armrest of the chair.

Huang Taiji didn't dare to say anything more, and lowered his head.

"Father Khan." Daishan said, "Urgudai obviously ignored your decree, Father Khan, his behavior corrupted the government and disrupted the law. If he is not severely punished, how can he govern the country? I also ask Father Khan to punish him for his crimes. "

The rest of the Baylor ministers also echoed.

Daishan continued: "Erdeni Bakshi's crime was related to Si Baylor before, but this time Si Baylor did not report it, and Si Baylor should also be punished."

Huang Taiji glanced at Daishan out of the corner of his eyes, and saw his expression revealing a smug expression, so he frowned deeply. Although it is not uncommon to make trouble, Li Diankui actually complained to Daishan, and Daishan revealed it. Not too much of a coincidence.
