The atmosphere in the Ten Kings Pavilion was somewhat tense.
Hauge accused Dorgon of hiding in Gaizhou and being afraid to advance against the enemy.
Dorgon had an unshirkable responsibility for his troops' retreat to Ningyuan.
Dorgon accused Hauge of not giving him orders and not telling him when he withdrew his troops.
The two began a war of words.
"Quiet!" Sony saw the situation escalating and spoke out to stop it.
Hauge and Dorgon looked at Sony at the same time with murderous eyes.
Sony was so scared that he shrank his neck: "You two princes, please stop arguing and listen to what the emperor has to say."
Haoge and Dorgon snorted at Sony, looked at Fulin and said, "Your Majesty, please make a decision!"
Fulin glanced at Haoge, then stared at Dorgon for a while, and said, "So, you two both feel that you have no responsibility?"
"Your Majesty," Haoge saluted Fulin, "I have some responsibility, but the main responsibility does not lie with me. If we really want to investigate, Dorgon is most responsible."
"Oh." Fulin nodded and looked at Dorgon: "Prince Rui, do you feel you have any responsibility?"
"I...not only have responsibility, but also guilt!" Dorgon had an imperceptible smile on his face as he spoke.
hiss--
The other people present showed surprised expressions at the same time.
What happened to Dorgon today?
Have you drunk too much and are still not sober?
The emperor asked him if he was responsible, and he not only said that he was responsible, but also said that he was guilty.
Everyone else is eager to shirk the responsibility, so who would take the initiative to take the blame?
Fulin was also confused by Dorgon's actions. He frowned and asked uncertainly: "Dorgon, you just said you are guilty?"
"Yes," Dorgon kowtowed to Fulin. "My navy was defeated. No matter how I try to argue, I cannot escape the blame. I admit it frankly. I hope Your Majesty will give me a lighter sentence."
this...
Fulin clasped his right hands across his chest and rested his chin on his left hand, looking as if he was deep in thought.
He thought Dorgon would make all kinds of excuses to try to escape the crime.
The results were quite the opposite.
What on earth is he going to do?
After thinking for a moment, I still had no clue.
In desperation, Fulin could only seek help in the Ten Kings Pavilion.
At just one glance, he saw Prince Zheng Jirgalang.
This guy has both brains and strength, and he is perfect to deal with Dorgon.
Thinking of this, Fulin smiled and said to Jirgalang, "Prince Zheng."
"I am here."
"Do you think Prince Su and Prince Rui are guilty?"
"I think both of them are guilty!" Jirgalang put on a condescending attitude and looked down on Hauge: "Hauge retreated from Ningyuan and was guilty of losing cities and land. This is his first crime!"
"During the Ningyuan period, he fought nearly a hundred battles with the Ming army, with few victories and many defeats! According to his own statistics, he lost more than 20,000 soldiers and horses, committing the crime of losing soldiers and generals. This is his second crime!"
"Ningyuan is the gateway to Liaodong. Losing Ningyuan has opened the door to Liaodong! From now on, our army can no longer contain the main force of the Ming army with a small number of troops, which has a great impact on subsequent strategic planning. This is the third crime!"
"These three crimes combined together constitute a first-rate felony!"
With every word Jirgalang spoke, Hauge's face turned paler.
To the end.
Hauge's face was as pale as paper, without a trace of blood.
However, Jirgalang did not intend to let him go, but continued: "As the saying goes, if rewards and punishments are not clear, nothing can be accomplished; if rewards and punishments are clear, everything can be done. Since Haoge is guilty, he should be severely punished."
Jirgalang paused and turned his gaze to Dorgon.
"Prince Rui Dorgon led the navy to support Ningyuan, but was defeated by the Ming navy and was forced to retreat to Gaizhou and stagnate! The navy that the Qing Dynasty spent a lot of money to build turned out to be so vulnerable. Dorgon, as the commander-in-chief of the navy, bears the primary responsibility."
"People who have harmed the country and the emperor should be severely punished!"
"Your Majesty, please look into this carefully!" After saying this, Jirgalang bowed deeply to Fulin.
"This..." Fulin was more embarrassed than before.
Although Jirgalang said they were guilty, he did not say how to deal with them.
It was obviously unkind to leave such a difficult problem to a teenage emperor like him.
Fulin asked, "Prince Zheng, how do you think we should deal with them?"
"I think they should be stripped of their posts and put in prison to give an explanation to the dead soldiers!" Jirgalang replied.
"This..." Fulin was in a very difficult situation to open the door for his mother. It was extremely difficult for him.
Jirgalang is so cruel!
Ask him to deal with the two princes at once.
If this news gets out, will he still be able to be the emperor?
Seeing that Fulin was in a difficult situation, Prince Yu Duoduo stepped forward.
He said to Fulin: "Your Majesty, I have a memorial to report."
"speak."
After getting Fulin's permission, Duoduo quickly said: "I think that the Qing Dynasty can be what it is today, which is inseparable from the clear rewards and punishments within the Eight Banners."
"I think that Prince Su Haoge's command was inappropriate. He underestimated the enemy and advanced rashly. Not only did he lose cities and land, but he also lost 20,000 soldiers! He should be stripped of all his titles and positions and be imprisoned!"
"But..." Duoduo changed the subject: "The title of Prince Heshuo Su was bestowed by the late emperor. The Qing Dynasty governs the country with filial piety. To demonstrate filial piety, you can just take away the banner master and all other positions, just like you did with Prince Rui, and retain the title of Prince Shuo Su."
"As for Prince Rui," Duoduo looked at his brother and said calmly, "Remove him from his post as the commander-in-chief of the navy, but retain his title of prince."
"This is my suggestion. Your Majesty, please make your decision!" Duoduo said and stepped aside.
Fulin frowned and scanned everyone's faces one by one.
The generals of the Zhenghuang and Xianghuang banners expressed their support with their eyes.
Luo Luohun of the Red Banner had no intention of objecting either.
Man Dahai entrusted the power of expression to Luo Luohun, which meant that the Zhenghong Banner did not object either.
Duoduo was the leader of the Zhengbai and Xiangbai banners, so naturally he would not object to the suggestion he made.
At this time, six of the eight banners had already agreed.
Only Jirgalang of the Bordered Blue Banner and Hauge, the person involved, had unclear attitudes.
"Prince Zheng," Fulin asked, "what do you think of Prince Yu's suggestion?"
"I second the motion."
With Jirgalang's statement, Fulin breathed a sigh of relief.
He looked at Haoge: "Prince Su, do you have anything else to say?"
