Shengjing, Qing Dynasty Palace.

Eight years have passed since Aisin Gioro Huangtaiji established the Qing Dynasty.

During these eight years, the Qing Dynasty won more than defeats against the Ming Dynasty, and Shengjing became more and more prosperous. Even this palace with a rather thin shape seemed to be much more majestic.

The bells of the court rang, and many Qing ministers entered one after another, walked into the Dazheng Hall, and stood in two rows.

Most of these ministers came from the Jianzhou Jurchens, that is, the Later Jin established by Nurhaci, while a small number came from the surrendered Han ministers of the Central Plains.

But without exception, everyone has the iconic braids of the Qing people behind their heads.

At the top of the Great Zheng Hall, there are three seats, with the throne at the top, and the other two seats are one on the left and one on the right.

"Your Majesty is here, two auxiliary princes are here!"

Amid the eunuch's loud shout, a seven-year-old boy slowly walked up wearing a crown and dragon robe. This is the third generation ruler of the Qing Dynasty, Aisin Gioro Fulin (Shunzhi).

Then, two men wearing crowns walked out of the side door and followed closely behind.

One of them had a thin figure and a lightning look. He was thirty-two years old. He was the head of the White Banner of the Qing Dynasty, Prince Heshuorui, and the auxiliary government. Aisin Gioro Dorgon.

The other one was a little taller and more calm. He was forty-five years old and was also the assistant to the Qing Dynasty. He was the head of the Zhenglan Banner of the Qing Dynasty, and Prince Heshuo Zheng Aisin Gioro Jiergalang,

All the ministers all came out to lean over: "I have met Your Majesty, and I have met the Auxiliary King."

The seven-year-old Xiao Fulin waved his hand blankly, and the ministers all ranked.

Fu Lin sat down on the throne, and on both sides of him, Dorgon and Jirgalang sat at the same time.

After sitting down, Fulin said nothing, looking like a statue.

Everyone is used to this, and no one will expect a seven-year-old child to rule the Qing Dynasty.

Dorgon coughed and said slowly: "Now that the chaos in the Ming Dynasty has resurrected, the Dashun Army led by Li Zicheng has surrounded Beijing. Judging from previous information, Wu Sangui from Shanhaiguan has brought his main force back to rescue Chongzhen from Beijing.

Someone told me in private that it was time for us, the Qing Dynasty, to take this opportunity to take down Shanhaiguan. I said that this Qing Dynasty is not my own Qing Dynasty, and we always have to discuss it with the princes and belles.

Today, we will discuss this matter, whether to send troops or not. Okay, let’s share your opinions.”

After Dorgon finished speaking, a silence fell into the hall temporarily.

It’s not that everyone has nothing to say, but they have to listen to the opinions of another auxiliary prince, Prince Zheng Jirgalang.

Since the last emperor Huang Taiji died suddenly last year, Dorgon and Huang Taiji's eldest son Haoge competed for the throne, and Haoge was eventually kicked out of the power center, and Dorgon and Jirgalang became the auxiliary kings of the two giants.

After hearing Dorgon's words, Jirgalang frowned slightly and said, "I don't think there is any need to send troops in this matter. The internal strife in the Ming Dynasty is something that our Qing Dynasty is willing to see. If we send troops at this time, will the Ming people compromise with each other again?

So, we should still sit here and watch them fight for life and death. If the Ming Kingdom is really destroyed, we will find an opportunity to go south. If the Ming Kingdom defeats Li Zicheng, we can also take advantage of the situation. Isn’t that great?”

Obviously, Jirgalang's attitude was against going south at this time.

As soon as Jirgalang finished speaking, a sneer came from below: "Prince Zheng is too timid to say this!"

Everyone was surprised. Who dared to speak to the Auxiliary King like this?

When I turned around and saw a relieved expression. Oh, it turned out to be him, that's not surprising.

who?

The owner of the white flag of the inlaid, Prince Yu Aisin Gioro Duoduo.

This Dodo is Nurhaci's fifteenth son, Huang Taiji's fifteenth brother. The most important thing is that he and Dorgon were born to the same mother and were Dorgon's greatest help in the Qing Dynasty.

Hearing Duoduo's rebuttal, Jirgalang was obviously very unhappy and said coldly: "Prince Yu, what are your opinions?"

Duoduo whispered loudly: "The Ming Kingdom is now completely rotten. This is the best time for our Qing Dynasty to march into the Ming Kingdom! We should send troops to attack Shanhaiguan so that Wu Sangui can't go back to his Beijing city!

As long as Beijing City is broken by Li Zicheng, we will have the opportunity to directly take Shanhaiguan! Without Shanhaiguan, Beijing will be taken down by Li Zicheng again, and the time for our Qing Dynasty to enter the Central Plains will come!"

Duoduo's words were obviously very inciting, which made many Qing ministers present shine on their faces.

After hearing Duoduo's words, Jirgalang not only did not get angry, but instead laughed.

"Prince Yu, what you said was what Hong Chengchou said to you? Hong Chengchou, get out and answer me!"

As Jiergalang finished speaking, an official wearing Qing Dynasty official uniform and shaved braids walked out and knelt down with a plop.

This person was the former governor of Ji Liao of the Ming Dynasty, and now the Grand Secretary of the Qing Dynasty, Hong Chengchou.

Hong Chengchou said earnestly: "Returning to the words of Prince Zheng, I feel that the Ming Kingdom is indeed the weakest time now, and it is also the best time for the Qing Dynasty to enter the Central Plains. If the Qing Dynasty does not seize this opportunity, if Li Zicheng is defeated and the Ming Kingdom takes a breath, it will be difficult for the Qing Dynasty to have such a good opportunity in the future."

Jiergalang laughed loudly, suddenly stood up, strode down the steps, and kicked Hong Chengchou in the face.

Hong Chengchou did not dare to dodge at all, so he had to take the kick, and then he was kicked out with a scream, bleeding from his nose.

Seeing this, Duoduo was furious and shouted: "Prince Zheng, what does it mean to hit someone?"

Jierhalang sneered and said to Duoduo: "Why, you can sleep with a slave woman Hong Chengchou? As my master, do you still feel sorry for me? Remember, he is a slave of the Yellow Banner, not your Zhenglan Banner, you are his master, and of course I am his master!"

Duoduo was speechless for a moment.

At this moment, Dorgon, who was still sitting on the chair, slapped the armrests of the chair heavily: "Okay! They are all from the Qing Dynasty, why are they quarreling here? Duoduo, please step down for me!"

Duoduo looked dissatisfied, but due to Dorgon's strength, he could only retreat hatefully.

Jiergalang was in a good mood and kicked Hong Chengchou on the shoulder and shouted: "Get out! This is the Qing Dynasty, the masters discuss matters, it's not your turn, you, a slave, to speak here!"

Hong Chengchou had no choice but to get up and return to his position.

In the hall, many important officials of the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty looked at Hong Chengchou and showed disdainful gazes.

After all, he was just a slave of the Qing Dynasty. He was the last emperor who came up with a few ideas and really took himself seriously?

The Qing Dynasty is ultimately the Qing Dynasty of our Jurchens!

Jirgalang returned to his seat and said calmly: "I still say the same thing, I won't send troops! Whoever agrees, stand up now!"

As Jiergalang finished speaking, many Qing ministers spoke one after another.

"You can't send troops!"

"Let's talk about the outcome when the winner is decided!"

"Prince Zheng's words are reasonable!"

Dorgon's face gradually became very gloomy when he heard these words.

Although they were all auxiliary kings, Dorgon has always been the main government affairs of the Qing Dynasty. Most of the time, Jirhalang was willing to be second.

So Dorgon never expected that Jirgalang would take the initiative to attack today and caught Dorgon off guard.

You should know that it is only the second year of Shunzhi, and Dorgon has only been a year since he became the auxiliary king. His power is mainly among the Zhengbai Banner and the Inlaid White Banner. Although the power he controls is superior to other factions, it is far from the point of being the only one.

Now other important officials of the Eight Banners support Jirgalang. Even Dorgon, even the chief auxiliary king, could not force the war to begin at this time.

Dorgon suppressed his anger and said slowly: "Forget it, since Prince Zheng and everyone said that, of course I will not disobey everyone's intentions. But everyone should remember that the Ming Dynasty's Beijing city is destined to be broken. We must be prepared first. Once the Ming Dynasty is broken, we will go directly to the pass!"

Jirgalang smiled and said, "Prince Rui said that when Beijing is captured, I will take the troops to Beijing and take down that city and become the new capital of our Qing Dynasty!"

The Great Political Palace was filled with laughter and joy for a moment.

Dorgon snorted heavily and said in his heart: "Okay, Jirgalang, don't you just don't want me to get military achievements and suppress you even more? Let's see, after the city of Beijing is broken, I won't let this military power fall into your hands!"
