Buhe left Dajin with great satisfaction, but left his youngest daughter behind.
In fact, Wuyoudai is only twelve years old this year, which is a bit too early to be considered for marriage. However, Yunyi wanted her to develop a relationship with Dorgon in advance, so he used the excuse of liking his little niece to keep Wuyoudai in the mansion.
Huang Taiji was heartbroken at this moment. The girl he had fallen in love with at first sight was his wife's niece, and she had married someone else. He was unhappy and did nothing in a daze.
Yunyi said she wanted to keep another niece in the mansion, and he agreed indifferently. However, because of what had happened before, he didn't really want to see this niece.
Yunyi was delighted with this. She never wanted Wuyoudai to marry Huang Taiji in the first place. Now that the two of them are not in contact, they will not develop feelings for each other, which is for the best.
...
Three months later, the war ended, and Huang Taiji and Aguta returned safely.
Perhaps Yunyi had been overthinking things. Huang Taiji did not make a move, and Aguta returned unharmed.
Back at the manor, the couple, who hadn't seen each other for three months, were in the midst of a passionate romance. As the saying goes, absence makes the heart grow fonder. They had only been married for a short time when Aguta went to the battlefield again.
Now that they've returned, their relationship has naturally become even stronger; it hasn't diminished, but rather intensified.
At the end of the year, during the festive season, good news came from Guarjia Prefecture: Erdun is pregnant.
Yunyi was happy that Erdun and Aguta could be together happily.
At that time, she put aside her own plans and chose to let the two of them be together. Since then, she has always sincerely hoped that the young couple could be happy together.
Now they are about to welcome the fruit of their love, turning from two to three, and their family is becoming more and more complete.
Erdun is doing well, and Yunyi has completely let go of her and started paying attention to Wuyoudai's affairs.
Dorgon is only two years older than Uyghur, and is only thirteen years old. He still lives in the palace with his mother, Abahai, and has not yet gone out to establish his own residence.
Yunyi wanted to bring the two of them together, but she couldn't find an opportunity for them to meet. She was somewhat helpless and could only take it one step at a time.
Time flew by and it was now the eleventh year of the Heavenly Mandate.
In the past two years, Erdun gave birth to her and Aguta's eldest son, Changshu, while Uyudai met Dorgon during a hunt and got along very well with him, like a pair of bickering lovers.
Huang Taiji, grieving the loss of his beloved, devoted himself to his career, and his status in Nurhaci's heart grew increasingly important over the years.
But while pursuing his career, Huang Taiji didn't stop at his harem either. Two of his concubines finally gave birth to daughters for him, and he is now a man with both a son and a daughter.
At the beginning of the year, Nurhaci and the Ming Dynasty fought a battle at Ningyuan, known as the Battle of Ningyuan. In the end, the Jin Dynasty suffered a crushing defeat, and the Ming Dynasty emerged victorious.
On his way back, Nurhaci was still resentful about the defeat in this battle. He had lived for more than 60 years and had never suffered a defeat, but this time he had encountered one.
After returning to headquarters, he trained his troops even harder, hoping for victory in the next battle.
Perhaps due to old age, or perhaps due to overwork leading to physical weakness, Nurhaci contracted carbuncles in mid-July. By early August, his condition deteriorated rapidly, and he passed away on August 11 at the age of 68.
After Nurhaci's death, the succession to the Khanate became a point of contention in the court because he had not designated a successor during his lifetime.
Ultimately, the Khanate was chosen from among the four great Beile. The eldest Beile, Daišan, had been excluded from the line of succession because of his previous ambiguous relationship with Nurhaci's principal wife.
Second Prince Amin was Nurhaci's nephew and was not eligible to participate in the election.
The birth mother of the Third Prince Mangultai, Consort Fuca, was killed for "stealing gold and silk." In addition, he was unruly and had no support, so he could not be enthroned as Khan.
Only the Fourth Prince Huang Taiji was the strongest. His political vision, military talent, and personal prestige were all superior to those of the other princes, so he was the most suitable candidate to become the Khan of the Later Jin.
So on the day Nurhaci died, Daišan, along with his son Yuetuo and Sahalian, supported Huang Taiji to succeed to the Khanate, and told the beile and ministers the reason for supporting Huang Taiji: "His talent and virtue are unparalleled, and he should quickly succeed to the throne."
Thanks to the strong support of his elder brother Daishan, the other princes "jointly petitioned for him to succeed to the throne." Huang Taiji "declined repeatedly, but after a long time he finally agreed," and was thus elected as the Great Khan.
On September 1st, Huang Taiji ascended the throne, burned incense to inform Heaven, and announced that the following year would be the first year of the Tiancong era.
After Nurhaci's death, his principal wife Abahai, along with two concubines, were buried alive with him. Having lost his mother's love, Dorgon matured a lot overnight.
Huang Taiji succeeded to the throne and changed the era name to Tiancong the following year, which became the first year of Tiancong.
In July, Yunyi gave birth to another son, the Seventh Prince. This was the first child born to Huang Taiji after he ascended to the throne, and since he was born to the First Consort, the child's status was much more noble.
When the child was one month old, Huang Taiji named him Yebushu.
It's strange that the matter of Abahai being forced to commit suicide was very suspicious. There were many rumors that the current Khan was afraid that Abahai's three sons were too powerful, so he forced her to her death.
Logically speaking, Huang Taiji should have been very wary of Ajige, Dorgon, and Dodo, the sons of Abahai.
But that was not the case. After Huang Taiji ascended the throne, he valued all three of his younger brothers highly.
In February of the second year of the Tiancong reign, Huang Taiji led his two younger brothers, Dorgon and Dodo, and personally led a large army to conquer the Dorot tribe under the jurisdiction of Chahar. They advanced to Aomulun and captured 11,200 people.
Because of the great victory at Aomulun, Dorgon was given the title Mergen Daiqing, and Dodo was given the title Erke Chuhuer.
After returning to the capital in triumph, Huang Taiji asked Dorgon what reward he wanted, only to hear him say that he wanted a marriage decree.
After careful questioning, Huang Taiji learned that his younger brother was in love with his wife's niece, Wuyoudai.
This reminded him of the feelings he had for Erdun several years ago.
He missed his beloved girl back then for various reasons, but now, faced with his younger brother's request, he agreed without hesitation.
Huang Taiji became the Great Khan, and Yunyi moved into the palace with him.
Before the imperial decree was even issued, the news had already reached Yunyi.
Upon hearing this news, Uyudai was not particularly happy. She paused while pouring tea before raising her face with a smile, feigning innocence, and complaining.
"Aunt, Dorgon is really something. He didn't even ask for my opinion before making the decision. He's so annoying."
Yunyi was drinking tea with her head down and didn't see Wuyoudai's expression; she was still happy for her.
"You and Dorgon have been arguing for years. You clearly like each other, but you always fight every time you meet. Now that you're going to be together, my ears can finally have some peace and quiet."
