Chapter 171: The Houjin Rebellion (1)
At the beginning of September of the eighth year of Chongzhen, Dolgon's army returned to Shengjing and was warmly welcomed by Huang Taiji. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
Dolgon knelt on his knees, and offered the jade seal of the country with both hands with a respectful look, and Huang Taiji smiled and comforted, and then accepted it with his own hands. In front of everyone, it perfectly shows the glorious image of the descendants of the Aixin Jueluo family, united and harmonious brothers.
Subsequently, Huang Taiji ordered to ceremoniously entertain Erke Kongguoer Ezhe and his mother Empress Dowager Sutai, who led the clan to surrender, and held a grand ceremony to worship the heavens, thanking God for giving the jade seal to the Jin Dynasty.
Huang Taiji, who was in a happy mood, gave his second daughter Margeta Gege to Ezhe to show his honor, and Ezhe was overjoyed.
Next, after completely stabilizing the Han tribes, the high-level nobles of the Later Jin began to divide up several of Lin Dan Khan's blessings.
In the eyes of the northern barbarians, the victor has all the right to dispose of the vanquished, so it is natural to divide up several of Lin Dan Khan's blessings and sisters.
The Great Bel Daishan, who was most greedy and impatient, proposed to Huang Taiji that he would marry Fujin Orzhetu and Lin Dan Khan's sister Taisong Gege.
The reason why Dai Shan chose these two women was because he had privately understood that these two people had the most abundant property. Therefore, Dai Shan was afraid that the fat water would fall into other people's fields, so he was so eager to ask Huang Taiji to agree to him marrying these two women.
Seeing that Dai Shan asked for two women as soon as he opened his mouth, Huang Taiji was extremely disgusted with his greedy face.
Moreover, because of the rumors spread by Li Xiao, Huang Taiji was very wary of Dai Shan's request to marry these two wealthy women, and in the end, he only let Dai Shan marry Tai Song Gege, and let Fujin Orzhetu marry Abatai.
Dai Shanxin hated, but he had no choice but to follow Huang Taiji's instructions.
Seeing that the rich Fujin were about to be divided up by their own uncles, Haoge was very anxious, and he proposed to Huang Taiji that he would marry Fujin Birch as a side room.
Huang Taiji was noncommittal about this matter, and wanted to agree to this matter, but who knew that Haoge's mother-in-law, who was also his sister Mang Guji, knew about it, and she was immediately very angry.
Mang Guji, the third daughter of the old slave, was born to the queen of the Gundai like Mang Gurtai and Dege, and later married to Wu Gurdai, the head of the Hada Department, one of the six departments of Haixi, and gave birth to two daughters, Amu Shali and Zhuo Naxi, and later, the eldest daughter married Daishan's eldest son Yue Zhen, and the second daughter married Hao Ge as his wife.
Later, Wugurdai died of illness, and Mangguji obeyed the order of Huang Taiji and married Jinong, Zoromu Duling, of the Borji Jin clan of the Mongolian Ao Khan Department, and took the original place as a dowry, so that he and her husband Zoromu lived here.
After hearing the news that Huang Taiji wanted to marry Hao Ge to Birch Fujin as a side room, Mang Guji was very dissatisfied, lest her daughter fall out of favor, she made a big noise in front of Huang Taiji, asking him not to agree to Hao Ge's careless move.
Huang Taiji was very disgusted with this reckless Gurtai's own sister being so noisy, and he endured it without having a seizure. It's just that after he heard the news that Mang Guji went to Daishan to complain again, this guy with cold family finally made a murderous move.
Subsequently, Huang Taiji gave Dai Shan and his sons Yue Xu, Sakhalian and others, fabricated a series of charges, removed the title of Dai Shan Da Beile, cut off the name of Heshuo Beile, and took ten Niu Lu from the Zhenghong Banner under his hands, compiled them into two yellow flags, and fined ten thousand taels of silver, ten carved saddle horses, and ten pairs of armor as punishment.
Yue Zhi and Sakhalian were also punished with two oxen each, fines of silver, horses, and armor.
After Huang Taiji dealt a heavy blow to the two powerful red flags, the main Dege class of the Zhenglan Banner had clearly felt that next, Huang Taiji was afraid that he would be a killer against himself.
After all, Li Xiao's vicious rumor, but Chi. Aimed nakedly at the goodness and self. Since Huang Taiji had already severely punished Dai Shan, it was impossible for him to spare himself.
Derge had a terrible instinct, that is, Huang Taiji's punishment for him was very likely to be much heavier than Dai Shan.
After all, his own brother Mang Gurtai died of a violent illness for no apparent reason, and Derge felt the situation, but of course he didn't dare to investigate it deeply.
Perhaps, the ruthless Huang Taiji will kill himself?
These days, Derg often locks himself in his room alone, but with a long sigh, he often thinks back to that night a few years ago。。。。。。
One night in the first half of December in the fifth year of Chongzhen, when the wind was roaring outside and the snow was falling, Derge, his sister Mang Guji and his brother-in-law Zoromu, arrived at Mang Gurtai's mansion together, and Mang Gurtai immediately held a banquet in a secret room.
After sprinkling three rounds, Mang Gurtai's eyes suddenly turned red, and his tone was choked: "Sister, brother-in-law, Derge, after today's banquet, I am afraid it will be difficult to gather with you." ”
The three of them were shocked when they heard this, and hurriedly asked why, Mang Gurtai raised his head and sighed: "In the battle of Daling River last year, I had a quarrel with Lao Ba because of the unfair assignment of the army. Later, because I was hot-headed, I didn't choose what to say, and I forced each other to show my blades, and finally had a head-on conflict with the old man who was already quite suspicious of me. But I never thought that a year had passed, and he would never forgive me, and he would definitely give up until I died! ”
Mang Gurtai sighed and finished speaking, with a look of hatred on his face. Then he lowered his voice and said: "Recently, according to my guards' reports, I often find some strange people mixed into the mansion, I am thinking, maybe, the eighth child finally can't help but do something to me!" ”
The appearance on the side was quite similar to that of Mang Gurtai, but the expression was more refined, and he said with a gloomy face: "Brother, to put it mildly, it is still because of your improper behavior that day!" Even daring to say such foul language as "daddy bird" to the old eight, and wanting to show the blade to the old eight, it is really inappropriate. If I hadn't punched you out of the tent that day, you would have been killed on the spot by the guards of the old eight. If you knew this was the case, why bother in the first place. ”
Mang Gurtai's face turned red, and he said regretfully: "I **** regret this matter, but it has happened, what good is it to say more." Now that I have been framed like this, what should I do? ”
Mang Guji, the sister who is rich in appearance and temperament, saw Mang Guertai's embarrassment, she thought for a while and said: "Then let's quickly report this matter to the eighth child, Derge, you are now in charge of the household department, and the eighth still trusts you, perhaps, if you explain the situation to the eighth child, you may get his forgiveness." ”
Derge glanced at her: "My sister is purely a woman's opinion, since this kind of thing has happened, how can it be so easy to bridge!" The suspicion and rift between us and the eighth child is not just one day or two, if I go to intercede with the eighth child on behalf of my brother, the eighth will only be more suspicious, this person is ruthless, I am afraid that it will be faster. ”
Mang Gurtai's face turned red, and his face trembled: "Then what to do!" Stretch out your head and cut your head with a knife! It's better to do the opposite! ”
Mang Gurtai shouted out this sentence in a deep voice, which shocked his brother-in-law Zoromu, who had not participated in the conversation, and the soup in his hand almost fell to the ground.
Zoromu suddenly felt extremely remorseful in his heart, this Jinong of the Mongolian Proud Khan Department did not inherit the fierce and brave blood of his ancestors at all, but was an extremely cowardly and timid person. He originally thought that he and his second wife Mang Guji had come here just to attend an ordinary family banquet in Mang Guertai, but he didn't expect that after hearing this increasingly heart-wrenching conversation here, he realized that he had been tied up by his wife on a thief ship.
"Mang Gurtai, you must not act impulsively, you must act carefully." Zoromu's voice trembled, filled with deep fear.
Mang Gurtai glanced at this timid brother-in-law with disdain, and snorted coldly: "I have completely offended the eighth child now, instead of **** living in sorrow and fear, and finally let him kill me, etc., it is better to simply do nothing, two endlessly, get rid of the eighth child, and take away the sweat position, so as to completely save me from worry." ”
When Zoromu heard this, his face was even more pale as paper, he had a bitter face, he didn't dare to say anything or drink the soup anymore, and he shivered pitifully with the soup.
At this time, Mang Guji calmed down, and she said coldly to Mang Guertai: "This kind of big thing, my brother must not be reckless, you need to think carefully." ”
Derge also said in a low voice: "Brother, this matter is very important, you need to be careful, you have to think about it, this is a step to the sky, and defeat will destroy the whole family." ”
Mang Gurtai's eyes became more and more red, and tears fell quietly unconsciously: "If I don't kill him, he will kill me, where do I have a way to retreat!" Instead of sitting back and waiting, it is better to fight for it. May you all help me, and if great things are accomplished, I will thank you with great honors. ”
Mang Guji also shed tears, she gently patted Mang Gurtai's shoulder, and said softly: "Brother, don't worry, my sister will do her best to help you." ”
Derge lowered his head, his face became more and more gloomy, and after a long silence, he finally said slowly: "Since my brother has made up my mind, I should do my best to help my brother." ”
Zoromu didn't speak, just stared out the window with blank eyes, and looked sluggish. I don't know what he's thinking.
The three of them turned their heads to look at Zoromu, who came back to his senses from the delusion. Seeing that the three pairs of cold eyes were shooting at him steadily, he couldn't help but shudder, and hurriedly squeezed out a smile and said: "Mang Gurtai, since you have the heart to seize the throne, although your brother-in-law is incompetent, if you can help, you will do your best." ”
Mang Gurtai gave him a sneer back: "Don't worry, brother-in-law, it's enough to have your statement." ”
Zoromu lowered his head and laughed, but he secretly hated it in his heart.
Then several people began to agree on an action plan, and after many repeated discussions, the final plan was as follows.
First of all, the Delge class prayed to Huang Taiji, saying that Mang Gurtai had now repented, so he invited Huang Taiji to Mang Gurtai's house for a banquet. During the banquet, 50 sword and axe men were ambushed in advance, and if the emperor Taiji came, he poisoned his wine and killed him, and if he found that he did not drink, he came out with knives and axes, and then sent troops to take the palace directly, seize the throne of the khan, and announce it to the world. If this plan cannot be implemented in the end, then lead all the troops of the Zhenglan Banner and retreat to the Kaiyuan City where Zoromu is located to hold on to the throne, the Kaiyuan City is tall and strong, and when it can be held for a long time, then he will secretly win over the opponents of Huang Taiji, and finally pull Huang Taiji off the throne.
The four of them got up and went to a more secluded Buddhist hall and swore a blood oath to the Buddha statue.
Mang Gurtai folded his hands, knelt in front of the Buddha statue, and swore with tears rolling down: "I, Mang Gurtai, the fifth son of the Heavenly Mandate Khan, one of the three major deacons Baylor, have now complained about the puppet Khan Emperor Taiji who killed his father and seized the throne and murdered his brother. At present, the imperial sister Mang Guji, the brother-in-law Zoromu, and the imperial brother Dege are like the same to help and conspire to make a big move to show the state affairs. You will help me, and after the help, you will not be as good as my body. ”
Mang Guji, Zoromu, and Derge all bowed their heads and swore: "We are willing to work together to help Mang Gurtai win the Khan throne. ”
After speaking, Mang Gurtai bit his middle finger, and the blood oath was written on the silk silk, and then burned in front of the Buddha statue.
The blazing flames reflected the faces of the four men with different expressions, and the reckless Gurtai, whose face was as heavy as iron, stretched out his thick right hand, and the three right hands were tightly clasped on the back of his right hand.
。。。。。。
At this time, a cool breeze blew outside the window, which made the pensive Derge can't help but shudder.
He looked around and saw that no one had entered.
Derge smiled wryly, and unconsciously thought back to what happened after Mang Gultai's death.
What Derge and the others didn't expect was that on the night of three days after Mang Gurtai made his plan to seize the throne, Mang Gurtai, who was resting in the room of his concubine Ital, mysteriously fell ill and died.
According to the concubine's confession afterwards, that night, Mang Gurtai was laughing with her, when he suddenly couldn't speak, his mouth and nose were bleeding, and he rolled on the bed in pain, and after convulsions and roaring for nearly half an hour, he died of anger.
At this time, Manggu Ji Zoromu and the others had already returned to Kaiyuan City, so only the Derge class rushed to come after hearing the news.
When he saw the wives and concubines of the Dafu Jin Hadana Lama and Mang Gurtai, who were surrounding Mang Gurtai's already cold corpse, crying incessantly, the Derge class was chilled.
He thought to himself, perhaps, next, the person who was killed would be himself.
Derge thought about it quickly, and immediately ordered that Da Fujin and the little concubine be martyred, and then mourned for Mang Gurtai.
Da Fu Jin cried for a while, and finally dressed up, and then gritted his teeth and drank a pot of poisoned wine to commit suicide. The concubine Ital, unwilling to die, was so frightened that she tried to escape from Manggultai's house, but was caught by several guards and strangled alive with a bowstring in front of Manggultai's spirit.
Mang Gurtai's funeral was held solemnly and warmly.
Emperor Taiji of Tiancong Khan led a group of brothers and ministers to come to cry in person.
Huang Taiji, dressed in plain clothes, wept extremely sadly in front of Mang Gurtai's grave, and the people attending the funeral were touched by the Khan's sincere brotherhood.
Tiancong Khan cried three drums and bells before going back, and then set up a mourning hall at the middle gate to pay tribute to Mang Gurtai, and cried sincerely after returning to the palace to rest under the repeated persuasion of the Great Khan to put state affairs first and not to cry and destroy the body.
Huang Taiji's actions made the hundred officials and subjects in the Houjin Kingdom extremely moved. In particular, several Han ministers, such as Fan Wencheng and Ning Wan, praised again and again, my Khan is really worthy of heaven and earth, benevolent to Yao Shun's peerless hero, and there is such a distant Han Wu Tang Sect king, it is really a blessing for the country and the people.
Mang Gurtai's younger brother Dege and his sister Mang Guji cried to death at the funeral, and they almost fainted. In particular, Mang Gurtai's brother-in-law, Zoromu, also beat his chest at the funeral, crying sincerely, and tears flowed. It fully shows the simplicity and sincerity of a Mongolian to people.
"It's all fake, they're all acting."
Derger came back to his senses and muttered softly, with an indescribable wry smile on his face. (To be continued.) )
