"No, this is absolutely not possible!" Haoge jumped up from the dragon throne and said angrily: "I don't agree! I am the emperor of the Qing Dynasty. I should lead my troops out of the city to fight the Ming army instead of hiding in the city to defend."
The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became tense.
Dorgon smiled calmly and said in a warning tone: "I am not discussing with the emperor, but informing the emperor!"
"You... dare!" Hauge stepped forward and was about to attack Dorgon.
But before he could get in front of Dorgon, he was stopped by two guards.
While they were blocking Haoge, they urged him, "Your Majesty, please calm down. Your Majesty, please calm down."
It would have been better if he hadn't said it. After he said it, Hauge became even angrier.
He howled and rushed towards Dorgon again, trying to beat him up.
But he was stopped by the guards again.
Haoge was unwilling to give up, so he walked out of the hall and shouted outside: "Someone come, someone come quickly."
The guards near the hall were confused and gathered around.
Haoge pointed at Dorgon and said, "Dorgon deceives the emperor, forms a clique for personal gain, and is corrupt and perverts the law. Take him down quickly."
When the guards saw in the light of the torches that the person speaking was Hauge, they stopped and looked at Dorgon.
These people were obviously Dorgon's confidants.
Dorgon smiled. He came to Haoge with his sword in his hand and patted him on the shoulder gently: "I assisted the emperor in ascending the throne, and my contribution is as high as the sky. But the emperor repays my kindness with hatred and wants to arrest and imprison me."
Hauge's lips trembled and he was so angry that he couldn't speak.
Dorgon did not shut up, but instead uttered a very famous statement in history.
He said: "The Ming army is approaching with heavy troops, and the Qing Dynasty is in danger. I want to fight to the death, why is the emperor rebelling?"
(This sentence came from Gao Cheng, the son of Gao Huan, a powerful official of the Eastern Wei Dynasty. He said to Emperor Xiaojing of the Eastern Wei Dynasty at that time: Your Majesty, why do you want to rebel? Your Majesty and I have made great contributions to the country. How can we let you down?)
Hauge opened his eyes wide and wanted to say something but couldn't utter a word.
His eloquence was not as good as Dorgon's, and this sentence was too damaging.
As a result, he could only open his mouth but could not make any sound.
Dorgon snorted coldly: "Come, help the emperor down to rest."
"Yes." The guards stepped forward quickly and "invited" Haoge out of the hall.
On the way to being taken away, Hauge suddenly became smart again.
He realized that Fulin was probably not dead.
Fulin deliberately abdicated the throne to himself, and then faked his death in a fire to escape.
Since Fulin could abdicate the throne to himself, could he also abdicate the throne to Dorgon?
With this thought in mind, Haoge shouted at the guards escorting him, "Take me to see Prince Rui!"
The guards said nothing and continued to move forward.
Haoge was anxious and shouted angrily: "Take me to see Prince Rui quickly, I want to abdicate the throne."
The head of the imperial guards bowed deeply and said, "Your Majesty, please stop making such a fuss. Prince Rui said that you are the emperor of the Qing Dynasty. You are the emperor now and you will be the emperor in the future!"
The clever Hauge soon realized that this was a conspiracy of Dorgon.
Seeing that the abdication was fruitless, he simply cursed in his heart: "Dorgon, you will not die well!"
......
In the hall, Dorgon was unaware of this.
He said to the remaining people: "Everyone go back and rest for now, we will set out to fight against the Ming Dynasty tomorrow morning!"
Everyone bowed and said goodbye.
Dorgon did not leave the imperial city immediately, but continued to deploy troops.
In order to prevent Hauge's Zhenglan Banner from rebelling, he divided the Zhenglan Banner into four parts overnight on the pretext of dividing the troops for combat.
After the organization was disrupted, it was mixed with two white flags and two red flags.
After the Battle of Ningyuan, there were few soldiers left in the Zhenglan Banner.
Now the organization has been disrupted again and it can no longer cause any trouble.
As for Hauge himself, he was controlled by Dorgon and strictly forbidden to leave the palace.
He would not depose Hauge, but would threaten Hauge to control the Eight Banners.
It was already midnight when everything was arranged.
Dorgon walked out of the hall and found Bumbutai waiting by the hall door.
He was stunned for a moment and asked, "May I ask what advice the Holy Mother Queen has for you?"
"I dare not give you any advice!" Bumbutai shook his head gently: "I just want to ask you something, Your Majesty."
"Excuse me, Her Majesty the Queen Mother."
"You have locked Haoge up in the palace. What about the women in the harem? Although nothing will happen, if the news gets out, it will probably cause controversy."
Dorgon covered his forehead and said, "Oh, I neglected it. Please rest assured, Holy Mother Queen Mother, I will arrange it right away."
There were indeed some empty houses in Hetuala, but the incident happened suddenly and in the middle of the night.
There was no time to clean up.
to this end.
Dorgon moved out of his own mansion and moved in with the women from the harem.
When everything was cleaned up, a hint of paleness had already appeared in the eastern sky.
Dorgon, who had not slept all night, rushed to the outside of the city and took command of the central army.
So much happened yesterday.
First, Man Dahai was defeated, then Fulin abdicated, and then the imperial city caught fire and Fulin was burned to death.
Whether Fulin's death was real or fake, it would have a significant impact on the situation.
In order to stabilize the morale of the army, Dorgon had to stay in the army.
Before noon, news came from the front: the Ming army attacked Gule Village early in the morning, and the Eight Banners soldiers in the village were defeated at the first contact and were retreating to Hetuala.
After hearing the news, Dorgon felt more stressed. To relieve the pressure, he went back to the city during lunch time.
It was already afternoon when he returned from the city.
At this time, some of the defeated soldiers from Gule Village had already fled back.
While gathering the defeated soldiers, he deployed troops on the mountain road leading to Hetuala to stop the Ming army from advancing.
