Ashes

Huang Taiji sighed indistinctly, and walked over to help him: "Get up and talk."

Jierhalang struggled to push it away: "Khan, I'll just kneel and say it."

Huang Taiji's face was stern: "What are you doing, threatening me by kneeling?"

The corner of Jierhalang's mouth trembled slightly, and his eyes were filled with pain.

Huang Taiji was helpless: "Oh, you'd better get up, I don't want you to talk to me like this."

Jierhalang had no choice but to get up, and sat on the kang with Huang Taiji.He was thinking about how to speak, and out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of the untouched pastry on the table: "Khan, you don't eat anymore?"

"I can not eat."

Jierhalang smiled wryly: "I'm going to get you some of your favorite food now, will it appear that I'm deliberately flattering you?"

Looking at his pale and haggard face, Huang Taiji couldn't smile at all.

"I heard..." Jierhalang said with difficulty, "Big Baylor and Sanbeile have decided...convicted brother to death..."

Huang Taiji was noncommittal.

Ji Erhalang's eyes turned red, and he fell to his knees again: "Khan, I know that my brother has committed a heinous crime, but I beg you to save his life."

"stand up."

"I can't get up, I don't dare to get up! I know that my brother turned a blind eye to your order, and he deserves death, but I still want to beg you." Ji Erhalang kowtowed heavily, one after another, "I will definitely atone for my brother, I will swear allegiance to the Great Khan to the death, even if the Great Khan wants me to die, I will not complain, I just ask you to go around my brother and die."

Huang Taiji also stopped persuading him to get up: "Why are you doing this?"

Jierhalang walked to Huang Taiji's feet and grabbed his clothes, "No matter how bad-tempered he is and how presumptuous his behavior is, he is still my elder brother, and that's all I can do for him. Big Khan, please!" Please."

"You keep calling me brother, am I not good enough for you?"

"The Great Khan treats me like a younger brother, I am so grateful, that's why I dare to beg you here, and dare to pamper you once."

Huang Taiji looked at Jierhalang, and within a few days, the person in front of him had already lost a lot of weight, exhausted physically and mentally. I'm afraid he had said all the good and bad things in front of Daishan and the others, but everyone could see Huang Taiji's Furious, how could he help Amin at the risk of being angered?

Since Shuerhaqi's death, Jierhalang was adopted by Nurhachi, and he grew up beside him. It seems that they are brothers before and after, and they don't have close contact with Amin. After the incident, he still tried his best to protect Amin, pleading everywhere for Amin.In fact, he can completely ignore Amin, Huang Taiji will definitely not affect his future because of Amin, not to mention that Amin has caused public outrage.After all, he is still a soft-hearted person, a person who cares about his family.

"Even if I don't kill Amin, he won't be the same again. He has to pay for what he did."

Seeing Huang Taiji let go of his mouth, Jierhalang couldn't help but brows happily: "As long as his life is saved, anything is fine."

Huang Taiji stretched out his hand to Jierhalang: "Jierhalang, you also understand how I treat you, I don't want what happened to Amin to destroy our relationship and leave a grudge in your heart."

Ji Erhalan took his hand: "My loyalty to the Great Khan is as good as the sun and the moon. I will serve the Great Khan all my life until I die."

"Okay, you'd better get up." Huang Taiji pulled him up, "I will consider Amin's matter as appropriate, after all, he has also made great contributions to me, Da Jin."

Jierhalang said in surprise, "Thank you, Khan!"

Huang Taiji touched his forehead: "Look at you, your head is broken."

"It doesn't matter, as long as Da Khan is willing to let him go, I don't care about anything." A smile finally appeared on Jierhalang's face, like the spring breeze melting the winter snow, and the whole world brightened up.

Dorgon didn't leave, he waited in the side hall, looking out from time to time, he waited for a long time, until Jierhalang left, and then went into the study again.

Huang Taiji's complexion was much softer than before, and he was gnawing on a pastry in his hand.

It seems that Jierhalang persuaded Huang Taiji to move him.

"It's been a long time, I was just about to order someone to call you." Huang Taiji laughed.

"What did Jierharang tell you?" Dorgon didn't bother him, and cut straight to the point.

"You can guess."

"I want Amin to die."

In a word, categorically, as cold as an iceberg, as hard as a dagger, Dorgon's eyes were resolute and fierce.

Huang Taiji's expression froze: "I have already promised Ji Erhalang."

"You are you, I am me, I don't need you to do it."

Huang Taiji lowered his head and seemed to be in deep thought. He put the pastry back on the plate and clapped his hands: "Actually, you don't need to tell me what you want to do."

"I know." Dorgon took a few steps, "But I still want to tell you first, you can take this as my respect for you."

"What if I disagree?"

Dorgon frowned: "You disagree?"

Huang Taiji was suffering in his heart, he had just promised Jierhalang to keep Amin alive, and when he turned around, Dorgon would not share the world and wanted Amin's life, on the one hand was Jierhalang, who was miserable, and on the other hand, he was full of murderous intent Dorgon, not to mention agreeing to Jierhalang first.

"As long as you are happy." Huang Taiji gave him a deep look, and said lightly.

I thought that Huang Taiji would argue with him, and he had prepared many reasons to say, but he didn't expect him to agree so easily, Dorgon was slightly moved.He found that Huang Taiji's face, which had just gained some brilliance, had darkened again, and it was gray. Is this a guilt towards Jierhalang?

Dorgon hesitated for a moment: "Why?"

"what why?"

"You are going to live up to Jierhalang's expectations of you after letting me down. His trust in you is not mixed with any impurities. Do you have the heart to see him suffer?"

"I let you talk, what else can I say?" Huang Taiji's smile was bleak, "I can't take care of so many things, I don't want to make you sad anymore, so I just ask you to be happy."

Looking at his lowered face again, Dorgon felt his throat full of soreness, and he lost the expected joy.

Dai Shan and others listed Amin's sixteen crimes, ranging from dissent to lawlessness, all of which condemned him to death.

In the end, Huang Taiji decided to punish him by enclosing the high wall and never using it again. He was left alive, and Jierhalang succeeded him as the owner of the Xianglan Banner.

Once, after Shuerhaqi's dream of splitting was broken by Nurhachi, his fate was to be imprisoned by a high wall.Times have changed, and Amin followed his Ama's old path, and under the rule of Huang Taiji, he ended up in the same end.

In the cell, Amin was squatting in the corner. Now he is no longer a good man, no longer a big Baylor, just a wandering corpse, living on the food stuffed in through the cracks every day.

His mind was blank, maybe he was still recalling the glorious past, maybe he was thinking about how he got to this point, but none of this mattered anymore.

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw someone standing in front of him, and Amin struggled to look up, it was Jierhalang.

"Brother..." Jierharang called softly.

Amin looked up and down for a while, and he shook his spirits again in a decadent state, and said sarcastically: "You have become the banner owner, are you proud now?"

Jierhalang frowned: "Brother, don't say that, it's better for me to take over Xianglan Banner than to be taken away by others."

"Hmph, I know you have wanted to be the banner owner for a long time, and you follow that Huang Taiji all day, isn't it just for the sake of being superior? I have lost power, so you will get your wish."

Jierharang didn't argue with him, thinking that he was a big Baylor and reduced to a prisoner, so it's normal for him to be resentful no matter how much he has. "Anyway, it's a good thing that you're still alive. Although life is hard, I will visit you often."

"Why did you come to see me? Did you come to see me making jokes? Let me tell you, I, Amin, don't care too much! It's not a day or two since Huang Taiji wanted to kill me. You are just a white-eyed wolf, following others to harm me! As long as I still If I live for a day, I will not let Huang Taiji go, if I go out, I will be the first to kill him!"

"Brother, how come you still don't know how to repent? If the Great Khan hadn't dealt with it leniently, would you still be alive?"

"Is this how people live? It's better to die! Get out of here! Don't be hypocritical in front of me! Get out!" Amin roared, almost out of control.

Jierhalang had no choice but to say, "Then brother, you can stay at ease and stop talking nonsense."

"Get out!" Amin smashed the chain and banged it, and drove Jierhalang away viciously.

The heavy shackles were placed on him, and he was out of breath from exhaustion. Like a raging beast, he wandered anxiously in the cell.

Looking up again, there are still people standing at the door.

"Why don't you get out!" Amin shouted.

"I came to see you specially, why are you so rude, Erbeile?"

There was an infinite chill in the relaxed and lazy tone, and the title Erbeile was extremely ironic.Amin took a closer look and saw Dorgon standing at the door.

Dorgon smiled and looked kind, as if he was not standing in a prison, but in a bright mansion.

But Amin didn't feel the slightest warmth: "Dorgon? What are you doing here?"

"Just to see how you're doing?"

"Hmph, Huang Taiji asked you to taunt me, right? I knew he was vicious!"

"Don't say that, Erbeile." Dorgon glanced at the environment of the prison cell, tapped the railing with his fingers, "You have today, but you deserved it, no wonder others."

"You are just Huang Taiji's running dog, and you are not qualified to teach me a lesson!"

"Amin! Don't think that you are still the former Erbeile. You are just a lost dog, lingering in this never-ending cell! Once you enter this door, you will never be able to recover again!" Dorgon drank.

Amin was intimidated by his intimidation, but he was used to the world after all, how could he bear being scolded by a younger generation, he still said proudly: "Hey, after eating for a few more years, he is articulate, and he can speak like a Is it a set?"

"Let me ask you, Amin! When Ama left, did you say you wanted my mother to be buried?"

Amin was stunned for a moment, then laughed triumphantly: "You still remember that incident!"

"is not it!"

Amin said viciously: "Yes! That's what I said, how about it? Your mother-in-law's bitch actually wants to occupy the three flags, and wants to manipulate the government by virtue of being favored. It's just a dream! She deserves to die! Such a Restless woman, deserve to die! That's what I said, what can you do?"

"Okay, that's great." Dorgon smiled instead of anger, and his murderous heart suddenly rose, "Actually, I don't want to do anything to you, but I'm afraid you won't feel at ease staying inside, so I want to help you."

As he spoke, he clapped his hands a few times, and several people carried some things in, and he could feel the fiery temperature from a long distance away.

Amin sensed that something was wrong, and his expression suddenly changed: "What do you want to do?"

Dorgon took a few steps back, as if he couldn't stand the temperature, he pointed casually.One man took a spoonful of liquid from a container and poured it into the keyhole of the cell door—it was boiling hot lead water.

Accompanied by the hissing sound of lead water, Dorgon said leisurely: "Amin, do you know what it means to 'enclose the high wall and never use it'? Look carefully."

"Dorgon!" Amin was furious, hitting the prison door with his body, and the shackles hit the railing, making a loud noise, completely out of control, "Dorgon! You bastard! What are you! Dorgon ! You will die badly! You will die without a place to die!”

Amin's blatant curse touched the greatest pain in Dorgon's life: "Amin! How dare you say one more thing!"

"I'll die badly! There's no place to die!"

Dorgon clenched his fists, his nails dug into the flesh fiercely, drawing out blood, anger burned on him, and a cruel smile appeared on his face: "Amin, just now you seem to be talking to Jierhalang , It’s better to die, right? Don’t worry, I will fulfill your wish soon.”

"Dorgon, what else do you want?"

Dorgon ignored Amin, who was still clamoring wildly, and strode away.

The moment he stepped out of the prison, the scorching sun hurt his eyes. He narrowed his eyes and raised his hands to cover them, taking a deep breath of fresh air.

After getting used to the strong light, he put down his hand and saw a person standing in front of him.
