Ashes

Looking at the anxious Duo Duo, Dorgon said calmly: "Okay, let's go and intercede."

"I heard that several big Baylors said that they should be punished severely. It's my fault. This time I will kill Brother Azig." As the two walked, Doduo complained to himself.

Dorgon said duplicity: "No one would expect it, Brother Azig is also doing it for your own good."

This incident was a wake-up call for Azig and Duo Duo. Just because Dorgon said that it was not appropriate to associate with Abu Tai, they all turned a deaf ear to it. Now that something happened, they could understand the stakes.

As soon as he saw Huang Taiji, Duoduo immediately knelt down and said, "Brother Azige was just worried about me and forgot the rules for a while, so please deal with it lightly."

Dorgon also knelt beside him.

Seeing Doduo, who has always been stubborn, bowing his head and kneeling down, just to plead for his brother, Huang Taiji was a little surprised, but he still had an angry face, and reprimanded him: "Marriage is a big deal, it's a joke, you can marry whoever you want." Who to marry? It’s ridiculous! I’ve already looked for a virtuous and virtuous woman in the Horqin tribe for you, so you don’t have to worry. You are young and I don’t blame you for not understanding this, but doesn’t Azig also understand? It is clearly a crime knowingly and despising me."

"Brother Azig definitely didn't mean to despise the Great Khan, he just...he just..." Duoduo was not a smooth-talking person, and couldn't handle it, so he quietly touched Dorgon with his elbow, signaling him to speak .

Dorgon raised his head and said, "Brother Azig didn't intend to offend the profuse sweat, but he was careless and confused, and now he's probably going to regret it."

"You don't need to say any more. This example cannot be opened. If everyone says it's a momentary carelessness, wouldn't everyone be able to do anything wrong?"

Doduo lost his temper again, raised his eyebrows, and stood up impulsively.

Seeing this, Dorgon quickly grabbed him and dragged him to the ground.

Huang Taiji had a panoramic view of their small movements: "Also, Dorgon, you are not young anymore, why don't you dissuade your brother from being confused, he is hot-headed, and you are going to be dizzy too? There is no need for Azig's matter. Besides, I will discuss with other big Baylors to decide how to punish him."

Duo Duo wanted to say something more, but Duo ErGun dragged him away.

"Brother, what are you pulling me for? I haven't finished my sentence yet!" Duoduo said angrily.

"Khan has said that, what else do you want to say? If you continue to talk about it, won't it make your brother even more unlucky?"

"Is that so?"

"I haven't reached a conclusion yet, so don't panic, let's go back and talk about it first."

Seeing Dodo's angry appearance, Dorgon found it difficult to pretend in front of him.It's not that he covets Azig's inlaid white flag. After thinking about it, the only way to do it is the most appropriate. Instead of letting the resources of the two white flags be wasted by the brothers, it's better to hold them in your hands and make the most of them. It's not intentional to deceive them. I just want to For their good, only with real power in their hands can they be protected to the greatest extent.

At night, Huang Taiji sent a message asking him to go, and it was time for him to talk to himself.

Pushing open the door of his study room, looking inside, he saw that Huang Taiji was not sitting in front of the desk, but was leaning on the kang drinking tea, with a relaxed look on his face.

When he saw Dorgon enter the room, he changed his cold face during the day and smiled gently: "Come and sit."

Dorgon walked towards him, but in the middle of the walk, he unconsciously glanced at the desk from the corner of his eyes, and saw that there were pens, ink and paper scattered on it, it seemed that he was writing before he came.Looking carefully at it curiously, there was only one word written on the white and delicate paper: Rui.

So Dorgon turned to the desk, put aside the written paper, picked up the pen and dipped it in ink.

Huang Taiji didn't stop him, looked at him with a smile, and said leisurely: "What are you going to write?"

"Copy one."

Dorgon spoke confidently and wrote the word "rui" properly.

Rui, smart and witty, is also his bestowal name, Morgan.

After finishing the last stroke, Dorgon put down the pen and held the words in front of Huang Taiji: "How well written."

Huang Taiji smiled and said, "Okay, the writing is better than mine."

It’s been two lifetimes since I wrote it, and it’s better than you.Dorgon thought.

"It reminds me of when you were a child, when I taught you how to read and write." Huang Taiji said.

"I know all the words you taught me."

"Yeah, you know them all, so you're smart."

Dorgon put down the words, looked left and right for a while to appreciate.

Huang Taiji stared at him with soft and warm eyes. After a brief silence, he said, "Do you want to be the banner owner?"

Dorgon looked up, but didn't answer directly: "Is this punishment too severe?" Apparently, Huang Taiji's words had already revealed the meaning of giving him the white flag.

Huang Taiji didn't answer his question either, and took a sip of tea: "You should also be the banner owner. Only by being the banner owner can you display your intelligence."

Dorgon sat across from him: "Aren't you worried? Neither are the other big Baylors? Brother Azig is a bit reckless. Do you think I'm just obedient?"

"In the eyes of the three of them, you are indeed obedient and respectful."

"In their eyes? What about your eyes?"

"It's just the two of us now, there's no point in telling lies."

"Then you still let me be the banner owner?"

"Do you want to be the banner owner?" Huang Taiji asked again, he looked deeply at Dorgon, as if he wanted to see through the depths of his heart.

Dorgon said decisively: "I want to."

"That's enough." Huang Taiji said solemnly, "I once told you that no matter what happens, I hope you are well. This point has never changed."

Dorgon was slightly moved, but quickly returned to normal.

"What Ama can't give you, what your mother-in-law can't give you, I can give you."

When Dorgon heard the words, he just smiled very lightly.

Maybe you can give me a lot, but you can never give me what is lost.

Seemingly guessing what Dorgon was thinking, Huang Taiji frowned.After all these years, his thoughts are still so heavy, I really want to get into his heart and help him get rid of all these annoying thoughts.

Huang Taiji suddenly said: "Write me another word."

"Okay, what to write?" Dorgon walked to the desk.

Huang Taiji thought for a while: "Just write the word 'gold'."

Dorgon thought for a moment, and wrote calmly.

Huang Taiji also got up and walked to his side, watching him write stroke by stroke, a sudden impulse surged in his mind, wanting to hug his slightly thin body, but finally held back.

In an extremely uncertain tone, it seems to be talking to Dorgon, but it seems to be muttering to himself, and the voice is ethereal and unreal: "Sometimes, I suspect that you were well-behaved by my side when I was a child." Is it all fake? But even if it is fake, I like it very much."

Dorgon froze, but immediately covered it up.

"But I am very contradictory. I hope we can be like the past, and I hope to see the real you. To be honest, I am really tired of my emotions. Dorgon, what do you look like?" ?”

Dorgon didn't listen, he put down the pen, without any expression on his face: "It's finished."

Huang Taiji stared at Dorgon, and said softly after a while: "Well, it's very well written."

The next day, after discussions between Huang Taiji and the three major Baylors, the result of the punishment came out. Baylor, the head of the Azig Banner, was removed from the position and replaced by Dorgon.

Duoduo breathed a sigh of relief. In his opinion, the white flag was not snatched by outsiders. Anyway, his brother was the flag owner, and Dorgon was more suitable than Azig.

Of course, Azig was full of displeasure, but he also felt that it was better for his younger brother to be the banner owner than someone else, not to mention that Dorgon had long been the center of the three of them.

Dorgon didn't say much, which was in his expectation.

Baylor, the owner of the inlaid white flag, in the eyes of others, he is already a young man with a high position and authority, but in Dorgon's own opinion, this banner owner is just a step to a higher place.

A few months later, Duoduo married Horqin Borzigit, and Ming'an Baylor's daughter was Da Fujin, and the matter finally came to an end.

In the spring of the following year, one day the weather was fine. Outside Shenyang City, on the bank of the Hun River, two horses, one in front and one behind, galloped towards the place where the sun rose. Leave behind.

The two rushed to the foot of the mountain, Huang Taiji suddenly reined in the horse, the horse neighed, raised its forelegs high, and spun around on the spot.

Dorgon didn't have time to react, he rushed to the front, and it took him a while to stop.

"Running so far just to test these two horses? You are very interested." Dorgon turned back slowly.

Huang Taiji smiled and raised his whip and pointed: "What do you think of the Feng Shui here?"

"Feng Shui?" Dorgon asked in surprise.

"They say this is a treasure land of geomantic omen." Huang Taiji pointed to the Tianzhu Mountain in front, and then to the Hun River behind, "The mountain is in the back, and the water is in front. It's a treasure."

Dorgon couldn't help laughing: "Heaven and man are one? Those Han people told you?"

Since Huang Taiji ascended the throne, a large number of Han officials have been gradually used.

The ethnic minorities in the north are martial, because only strong force can survive in that difficult environment, defend their homeland, and live endlessly.

However, with the continuous expansion of the territory, various problems continued to appear. In addition to military generals, talents who governed the country were also needed, so he set up a literary museum, and followed the example of the Ming Dynasty to recruit scholars.At first, the Wenguan only translated some classics, but gradually, it became his brain trust, and half of them were Han Chinese.

"Is the scenery here not good?" Huang Taiji also smiled.

Dorgon looked around: "It's pretty good."

Seeing that he agreed, Huang Taiji was even more satisfied: "I want to build Ama's tomb here."

Dorgon also vaguely guessed his intention, nodded.

"When it's almost finished, I'm going to bury Ama and my mother here together." He paused, looked at Dorgon, "and your mother."
