Chapter 994 Stalemate



What is Fulin afraid of?

He was afraid of death, and also afraid that the Qing Dynasty would perish in his hands.

So Dorgon's words were very offensive and insulting to him.

After hearing this, Fulin's face turned darker than the bottom of a pot.

"Dorgon," Jirgalang roared before Fulin could get angry, "You...you are a prince of the Qing Dynasty, but you actually said such treasonous words. It is really an unforgivable crime!"

"Someone come here," Jirgalang looked outside the Chongzheng Hall.

"Here!" Four armored guards walked in.

"Capture Dorgon and wait for the emperor's decision!"

"Yes." Four guards walked towards Dorgon.

Dorgon and Fulin were both stunned.

Jirgalang's action clearly told everyone present that he could command the guards of the imperial city.

You should know that the palace guards are soldiers from the Zhenghuang and Xianghuang flags.

Jirgalang's power had actually penetrated into the two yellow banners and even the imperial palace.

"Someone come here!" Dorgon did not show any weakness and also shouted outside.

"Here!" Four more armored guards walked in.

They confronted the four armored warriors who had come in earlier, and neither of them was willing to give in.

Everything that happened at the scene showed that Jirgalang and Dorgon both had their own people in the palace.

Fulin felt unwell.

He was thinking, this is the Imperial Palace of the Qing Dynasty, my residence!

You can summon my guards with just a wave of your hand!

Where the hell can I go to seek justice?

"Come...someone come!" After a brief hesitation, Fulin also shouted outside.

After he finished shouting, he felt a little regretful.

It would be good if armored guards appeared, because it meant there were still people loyal to him in the imperial city.

It would be embarrassing if it didn't show up.

Not only does it mean that he has lost control of the imperial city, but he has also lost all face.

When an emperor loses his dignity...

This emperor is not far from death.

Amidst the confusion and worry, four guards wearing the armor of the Zhenghuang Banner stepped into the hall and responded in unison: "The servants are here!"

call--

Fulin secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and his heart finally settled down.

"Jirgalang, the emperor is still here, why did you suddenly call the guards here?" Dorgon asked first.

"Of course I'm going to arrest you!" Jirgalang sneered, "I want to help the emperor and the Qing Dynasty to eliminate the treacherous villains and set things right!"

"Are you helping the emperor? You want to be the emperor!" Dorgon said shockingly.

"I..." Jirgalang was speechless for a moment. After a short pause, he refuted strongly: "I didn't! Don't slander me!"

At this time, Jirgalang made a fatal mistake.

He has been proving himself.

When arguing with someone, never prove yourself.

Self-affirmation is a trap.

The more you prove yourself, the more suspicious you will be.

It’s just like when Liuzi was eating noodles. He clearly ate five bowls of noodles but was slandered as eating six bowls.

The right thing to do is to ask the other party to produce hard evidence rather than cutting open your own stomach.

Now Jirgalang is on his way to Liuzi and will never come back.

"You're still saying no?" Dorgon pressed on. "Everyone knows that the imperial guards are from the two yellow flags, and the two yellow flags are the emperor's people. You can command them to arrest people today, and you can command them to assassinate the emperor tomorrow! The day after tomorrow, you can even command them to put the yellow robe on you and bow down to you!"

If time goes back ten years, Jirgalang could have said a hundred or a thousand words to refute Dorgon.

After all, I was young at that time and my brain reacted quickly.

But not now.

He was already in his fifties, and years of fighting had not only left him covered in scars, but his brain was not as sharp as before.

"You...I..." After Jirgalang stuttered for a while, a solution suddenly popped into his mind.

He really couldn't argue with Dorgon, but he could drag Dorgon into the water!

So he pointed at the four guards Dorgon had called in and said viciously, "Dorgon, the emperor is still here, why did you call in the palace guards?"

"Of course it's someone who is going to deal with you, otherwise I would have been dragged out of the palace and tied up long ago." Dorgon answered calmly.

"Everyone knows that the imperial guards come from the Yellow Banner and the Bordered Yellow Banner, and both Yellow Banners are the emperor's men. You can command them to help you today, and you can command them to assassinate the emperor tomorrow! The day after tomorrow, you can even command them to put a yellow robe on you and bow down to you!"

After saying this, Jirgalang showed a smug smile on his face.

He used Dorgon's spear to attack Dorgon's shield.

No matter how Dorgon defended himself, it was always contradictory.

In this way, his suspicion was cleared.

Fulin and all the civil and military officials in the court turned their attention to Dorgon, wondering how he would respond.

Dorgon was not panicked at all. He first glanced around calmly, and finally looked at Jirgalang and said slowly: "Prince Zheng, I know you are anxious to drag me into this, but things are completely different from what you imagined."

"How is it different? You and I can both command the guards in the palace, so isn't that different?"

"Of course it's different!" Dorgon first gave Jirgalang a look of contempt, then said to the four guards: "Tell me why you obeyed my orders."

"Hey!" One of them knelt on one knee. "I am following the order of the Holy Mother Empress Dowager and will obey Prince Rui's orders today. As long as Prince Rui does not do anything that is detrimental to the emperor, I will do everything you ask."

"Did you hear that?" Dorgon spread his hands and said to Jirgalang, "I borrowed these four guards from the Holy Mother Queen Mother. Where did you get your four guards from? You can't have borrowed them too, right?"

"It was I who borrowed it! If you can lend it, why can't I?" Jirgalang said stubbornly.

"Okay! Tell me when did you borrow it? Who did you borrow it from?"

"I..." Jirgalang was suddenly speechless.

In the huge imperial palace, only Dorgon had the ability to borrow guards; it was simply impossible for others.

"Jirgalang, you lost cities and territories, suffered heavy casualties, allowed the enemy to advance, and placed spies in the imperial palace... any one of them is punishable by death! What else do you have to say?" Dorgon asked loudly.

"You can always find a pretext to accuse me of something." Jirgalang was powerless to refute: "You just want to take this opportunity to suppress me, disrupt the court, and then take over the throne."

"The Qing Dynasty is now at the critical moment of life and death! As the son of Emperor Taizu Gao and the brother of Emperor Taizong, I cannot allow fratricide to occur."

"Come here, capture Dorgon!" Jirgalang ordered again.

"Who dares?" Dorgon puffed out his chest and raised his head, roaring loudly.

"Your Majesty," Jirgalang decided to change his mind upon seeing this. He bowed deeply to Fulin and said, "We should unite to face the enemy! But Prince Rui is fighting among himself at this time! Please remove him from office and put him in prison to stabilize the morale of the army!"
