Chapter 385: The Choice of "Xiaozhuang"



Fulingao sat on the throne, looking bewildered. He did not dare to make the decision on this matter, nor could he make the decision.

Looking at the eyes of the crowd, Fulin whispered: "This matter... is not urgent."

Without waiting for anyone to object, he immediately looked at Jirgalang and raised his voice: "Prince Zheng."

Jirgalang was stunned for a moment, then he reacted and knelt down to salute: "I am here."

"The end of the year is approaching. You should first distribute the looted materials, people and livestock to each flag so that they can have a good new year. As for the matter of Prince Rui, we will discuss it another day." Fulin stood up while speaking.

"But..." Jirgalang wanted to say something.

"This...I think we should finish today's matter today. It would be inappropriate to discuss it another day." Hauge said with some dissatisfaction.

Seeing that the flag owner was being targeted, Sony and Aobai stood up to defend him at the same time: "Your Highness, we will obey the emperor's order."

The two flags agreed to discuss the matter at another date, but the two flags opposed it.

The young Fulin was caught in a dilemma.

He had a stiff face and placed his hopes on the Zhenghong and Xianghong banners.

Daishan narrowed his eyes and thought quickly.

He is old and not interested in fighting for power.

But if it was Dorgon who was deprived of power, he would support him without hesitation.

No.

He not only supported taking away Dorgon's power, but also supported taking away Dorgon's life.

In fact, before Fulin ascended the throne, Daishan and Dorgon had a good relationship.

But...the death of Shuo Tuo and Adali changed everything.

(Shuotuo was Daishan’s second son, Adali was the eldest son of Daishan’s third son and Daishan’s grandson.)

On the ninth day of the eighth month of the sixteenth year of Chongzhen, Huang Taiji died suddenly.

On August 14, after some discussion in the Chongzheng Hall, the Manchu kings decided to support the young Fulin to succeed to the throne.

In order to dispel the fluke mentality of others to usurp the throne, Daishan, together with 19 royal princes, beile and beizi, swore to support the new emperor.

Afterwards, more than 80 generals and ministers of the Eight Banners swore an oath: they must support the new emperor with all their heart and be loyal to the young master. Those who violated the oath would be punished by heaven and earth and die prematurely.

Prince Rui Dorgon also participated and took an oath.

What's funny is.

On the third day after taking the oath, that is, August 16, Adali went to see Dorgon in person.

After Adali came back, he went to Daishan's residence with Shuotuo and told him that they had decided to make Prince Heshuo Rui Dorgon the emperor and asked Daishan to support them.

Daishan had once sworn allegiance to Fulin, so of course he would not agree to such an act of rebellion.

So on the one hand he sent people to monitor Adali and Shuotuo, and on the other hand he went to personally question Dorgon why he was plotting a rebellion.

In order to cover up the evidence of treason, Dorgon immediately ordered the execution of Shuotuo and his wife, Adali, Adali's mother and others for treason and forming a clique to aid treason.

From then on, Daishan and Dorgon became enemies.

Daishan thought quickly and looked at Luo Luohun.

Luo Luohun was his eldest son and grandson, and he was in charge of everything.

After receiving Luo Luohun's response, Daishan knelt down and said, "I think Prince Rui has committed serious crimes and should be severely punished. But the specific punishment should be decided by the emperor."

As soon as these words were spoken, they were agreed by the generals of the Zhenghuang and Xianghuang banners.

Daishan is indeed a veteran figure. These words not only show his attitude, but also show respect for the young emperor.

Fulin was very satisfied with Daishan's performance. He first nodded to him and then looked at Duoduo.

Except for him, everyone else expressed their opinions.

"I think this matter is of great importance and should be handled with caution. However...the specific handling should be decided by the emperor, not a certain prince." Duoduo's words had hidden meaning, implying that Jirgalang had acted presumptuously.

Inside the Chongzheng Hall, the situation was tense.

Facing Duoduo's provocation, Jirgalang smiled coldly.

Before, he would be a little wary of the brothers Dorgon and Dodo.

Now it’s different from the past, the Zhengbai Banner is finished!

"Duduo, you should pay attention to your brothers instead of insinuating against me. I am the faithful and loyal uncle who can handle state affairs on behalf of the emperor."

I don’t care about your mother!

Duoduo started cursing in his heart.

Seeing that the situation was getting out of control, Fulin stood up and said, "Everyone, first distribute the supplies, civilians, and livestock to each flag. We will discuss the rest another day. I am dismissing the court!"

As everyone bowed and saluted, Fulin walked out quickly.

Seeing this, the generals of the Zhenghuang and Xianghuang banners followed him out.

There were only a few people left in Chongzheng Hall.

"Hmph!" Jirgalang snorted coldly and walked away.

Hauge followed with a sinister smile.

Daishan and Luo Luo turned around expressionlessly and disappeared in the wind and snow outside the door.

Seeing that everyone else had left, Duoduo came to Dorgon and asked in a low voice: "Fourteenth brother, what does the Holy Mother Empress Dowager (Xiaozhuang) mean?"

"It's hard to say." Dorgon frowned.

"What are the details? Can he keep the position of regent? If not, who will be the regent to restrain Jirgalang?" Duoduo was a little impatient.

Dorgon patted Duoduo on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, I recommend you. But..."

"But what?"

"The Virgin Queen Mother seems to still have doubts."

"What are you worried about?"

"Not sure... She didn't say."

......

Phoenix Tower.

The Phoenix Tower is located behind the Chongzheng Hall. It is three stories high and has a high platform below. The Inner Palace Gate passes through the high platform and is the passage to and from the harem, also known as the Harem Gate.

At this time, there were quite a few people standing in the lobby on the first floor of Phoenix Building.

In addition to Fulin, the generals and ministers of the Plain Yellow Banner and the Bordered Yellow Banner, there were also two women standing there.
