Ashes

Huang Taiji adjusted his sitting posture, and leaned on the table obliquely: "De Gelei is a smart man, he already knows who that attendant has contacted with, maybe he can find out about you right away."

Dorgon thought for a moment, then said nonchalantly: "I will have a way to deal with it."

"Maybe." Huang Taiji's tone seemed relaxed, but in fact he was firm, "But I don't allow the situation to develop any further, and I don't allow any danger that is harmful to you. If you take this as my meddling , also follow you."

"Once you get involved, you won't be able to get out easily." Dorgon said anxiously, "The more you do, the more you will lose your prestige."

"When you killed Mang Gurtai, didn't you just want me to take the blame?" Huang Taiji said leisurely.

"I..." Dorgon was speechless, he had indeed planned to do so from the beginning, but how could he say it from Huang Taiji's mouth?

"Since this is the case, there is no big difference if I do more or less, isn't it? It's a good thing that we thought of going together. What's more..." Huang Taiji smiled, "I'm willing to do this. "

Dorgon sat upright, his whole figure was like a clay sculpture, without any expression.

"I just want you to cheer up and stop pretending to smile. You've been by my side for so many years, I'm sometimes not sure how much you've told me the truth, you're the only one who makes me feel like a failure people."

"When you killed the Dege class, were you really willing?"

"I don't want to part with it. My heart aches! Jierhalang has been close to me since he was a child, and Aminyuan, Yuetuo and Sahalian have a bad relationship with Daishan because of their respective mother-in-law's relationship. I followed Mangurtai the most. I spent a lot of thought on him, including getting Jierharang and Yuetuo to persuade him. But it doesn’t matter now. In the end, he is still available. People who use it and throw it away. And you are different from them, even if you disobey me or hate me, I will not let anyone hurt you, you are different to me. "

Dorgon's heart seemed to be blocked by something, he couldn't breathe in or spit it out, his chest was tight and he felt uncomfortable all over.He tried hard to adjust his emotions, but there was always a powerful force pulling him in the direction of losing control.

"You are not afraid..." Dorgon's voice trembled almost imperceptibly, "One day I will deal with you the same way I dealt with Amin and Mang Gurtai?"

Huang Taiji's face darkened a bit: "It is indeed possible, but you haven't done it yet, or it's not my turn yet?"

"It's just you and Daishan left."

"I hope you can think about it and don't go too far with Daishan. He is the eldest brother, and his descendants have become the mainstay of Dajin, unlike Amin and Mangurtai. We can't learn from the Ming Dynasty and ignore the future of the country."

"You don't care about yourself, but you care about Daishan?"

"Me? I don't know what to say for myself. Of course I don't want to die, but I can't guarantee it now. Is there any way to convince you. You have always been a person with ideas and opinions. I just want to I can be as nice as possible to you."

"Don't you want to justify something?" Dorgon became anxious and spoke faster.

"I can come up with many reasons. For example, your mother is not good at scheming, but she insisted on squeezing into this vortex. It was her who caused the trouble. For example, the three major Baylors have high positions and powers. At that time, I couldn't compete with them alone. .The love of flesh and blood and the struggle for power and position can never be balanced, and you understand this. I don't like to argue, and I don't want to say things against you. "

"Are you really not afraid?"

"That's why I want to be nice to you. In case I fall into your hands one day, I want you to remember my kindness."

Dorgon was so stuffy that he couldn't breathe, he just stared at him blankly, trying to catch something from his eyes to relieve his discomfort.

"Of course, I won't just sit and wait for you to kill me. I'm not Mangurtai, let alone Amin. If you want to deal with me, you have to put more thought into it." Huang Taiji was confident smiling.

"Should I still thank you for reminding me?"

Huang Taiji laughed: "I really like you, Dorgon, why do you think I like you so much?"

"You're crazy." Dorgon said without thinking.

"Probably a little."

Hearing that his words were getting more and more outrageous, Dorgon didn't dare to continue this topic, for fear of going on, wondering what he would say to make his heart beat.

He picked up the wooden sign, and changed the subject again: "Mangurtai, do you have anything else to say?"

"Leave it alone, I will ask someone to put the wooden sign back."

"It took me a long time to hide it in his house. It's really strenuous for you to take it out and put it away secretly."

"I'm afraid you'll pretend to be confused."

Dorgon hesitated for a moment, then said, "I'll give you a generous gift."

Huang Taiji was slightly taken aback, but immediately understood what he meant, and his thinking also turned accordingly.

"Are you satisfied with the whole Zhenglan flag?"

A month later, Jierhalang, who was in charge of the Ministry of Punishment, received a report. Leng Sengji knelt in front of him and revealed to him that Manggurtai was plotting rebellion.The masterminds included Mang Gurtai, Dege Lei, and Mang Guji, and the others included Sonomu's son-in-law, Mang Guji's son Ebilun, and Tun Bulu, Aiba Li, and other relatives, brothers and nephews. , and Leng Sengji also pleaded guilty and claimed that he was also a member of the conspiracy, but he felt guilty, so he surrendered himself.

Jierhalang was shocked, he sent someone to inform Huang Taiji, and went to Manggurtai's mansion to search in person, and sure enough, he found sixteen wooden plaques.

When Zhu Baylor was summoned to show the evidence, everyone was shocked.

"Manggurtai and Degelai are really too much!" Sahalian said angrily, "The Great Khan treats them with great kindness, especially Degelei, who has always regarded him as a younger brother of the same birth. I didn't expect to do such a rebellious thing!"

"It seems that they have been planning for a long time. I didn't expect that people are not as good as God. They all died one after another. Shouldn't they be punished by God?" Duoduo said calmly. Although he rebelled against Huang Taiji, he still would not think To seek rebellion.

Others like Jierharang, Abatai, Azig and others were also angrily and kept scolding them.

Only Yue Tuo's face changed suddenly when he heard the news. When he saw that everyone was unanimously criticizing Mang Gurtai and others, he stood up and said, "Has this matter been investigated? How can you easily believe the words of a house slave?" ? I know Derger Baylor best, how could he do such a thing? It must be a lie!"

Everyone was silent at first, and their eyes all focused on Yue Tuo, and Huang Taiji looked at him even more coldly.

Just as Jierhalang was about to retort, Dorgon hurriedly said, "Could it be that the things that Jierhalan Baylor found were fake? You mean someone deliberately framed them?"

"I didn't mean that either, I just..."

"Then what do you mean?" Dorgon didn't wait for him to finish, and immediately snapped back, "Although Leng Sengji is just a slave of the family, he still has a trace of loyalty in his heart, which is why he desperately told the truth. You have pleaded guilty, and there are mountains of ironclad evidence in front of you, and you still call it arbitrariness? Who are you disbelieving? Do you not believe in that house slave, or do you not believe in Jierhalangbeile or Dahan? Everyone knows your relationship with Dege class Intimate, why are you defending him for no reason?"

A few words actually meant to include him in the conspiracy gang, and Yue Tuo immediately broke out in a cold sweat: "I'm not defending him."

"This is not an excuse, what else do you want? Just because you claim to understand Dege class, what can you explain? Who among us is not regretting that we misunderstood the two of them? Stop talking nonsense, don't you Back off!"

Dorgon scolded, Yue Tuo couldn't say a word, and retreated behind with a pale face.

Daishan saw it in his eyes, anxious in his heart, and kept blaming him.

It is said that although Dorgon is an elder, Yuetuo is much older than him, and he has taken on important responsibilities during the Nurhachi period. At that time, Dorgon didn't know what he was doing, but Dorgon's words were aggressive and completely suppressed him.

Huang Taiji was also secretly surprised.Under normal circumstances, when someone speaks out against it, it is Jierharang who stands up to refute it, and Dorgon has always been very low-key in order to give people the illusion of humility and humility. Even when everyone is in unison, he rarely speaks, but today Uncharacteristically, let alone speaking so aggressively.

"I don't want to say anything more?" Huang Taiji, who remained silent all the time, said, "You can see how I treat them, and Mang Gurtai used swords and guns in front of me. Complaints with him, now they try to overthrow me, I am really sad. Mangurtai and Degelei are my brothers, I really can't bear to see them do such a treasonous thing. They are also with you The blood is connected, and such a big thing happened, you are partial, and I understand. I will let the ministers of the cultural hall discuss how to convict them, so you don’t have to participate, I’m here today, you go back.”

The people present originally had some selfish intentions, but after hearing Huang Taiji's words, everyone lowered their heads, and the atmosphere suddenly became heavy and sad.

When everyone left, Dorgon dragged to the end, turned back halfway, and stood in front of Huang Taiji.

"How can you pretend to be so good? You made me feel sad." On the main hall, there were only the two of them left, and Dorgon showed his true nature.

Huang Taiji swept away his previous sorrow: "Aren't you the same, you made Yue Tuo stunned for a while."

The two didn't need to say much, they looked at each other and smiled.
