Hearing Huang Taiji's extremely cold and meaningful question, Dolgon's heart couldn't help but tremble.

At the same time, Huang Taiji's eyes widened together, the festering and blind left eye became more and more terrifying, and in the right eye, which was still sound, a cold light was cast.

The gaze cast by this one-eyed eye is still full of imperial majesty, and there is a very powerful invisible oppressive force.

Dolgon turned his head slightly, not wanting to meet Huang Taiji's oppressive gaze, but the ruthlessness on his face became more and more obvious as his breathing began to be heavy.

"Your Majesty, you think too much, and my brother doesn't want to kill you. The younger brother just hopes that the emperor can continue to ignore political affairs as before, and I think the emperor should be able to understand my words. ”

After a long time, Dorgon slowly spat out the words, and he turned his back to see his expression.

"Oh, yes, it's rare that you have such kindness that you didn't take my life, so I want to thank you?" Huang Taiji's words were full of ridicule, and a faint sneer appeared on his face.

Dorgon sneered, then he turned his head and replied coldly, "Not necessarily. Your Majesty, the courtiers actually understand that in your heart, you should be eager to break the courtiers' bodies into pieces. ”

Huang Taiji was silent, but his eyes became colder and colder, and finally he let out a long sigh, and then asked softly in a faint voice that was almost inaudible: "Dolgon, before you do it, tell me, my son Hauge, how is he doing, where is he now?" “

Hearing Huang Taiji's weak question, at this time, Dorgon's expression relaxed. He grinned, smiled silently, then looked at Huang Taiji calmly, and replied lightly: "Your Majesty, since you want to know, of course the younger brother can tell you without reservation." Now Haoge has led his troops to return first, preemptively occupied Shengjing City, and is putting on a posture of completely breaking with his subordinates and fighting to the end. Moreover, according to the observation of the younger brother, the reason why Hauge has such confidence to resolutely confront his younger brother should be that he found a strong foreign aid, and the two sides formed an alliance and cooperated, and then jointly fought against the younger brother. How about this answer, is the emperor satisfied? ”

Huang Taiji's face was expressionless, but in that one-eyed, his gaze was very complicated, and he said lightly: "Oh, is it? I didn't expect Hauge to be able to take this step, but I underestimated him in the past. It's a pity, Dolgon, you didn't plan well, and you let Haug lead his troops to escape first, and now you must regret it. Moreover, I was thinking that the foreign aid that Haoge could attract should be Li Xiao, the king of Pingliao. ”

Dolgon was stunned for a moment, then laughed dryly, and said: "The emperor is wise, and what he has observed is very good. It was indeed the minister's brother who was not well prepared, so that Haoge took advantage of the loophole and seized Shengjing City in advance, and now that he thinks about it, he really regrets it. Moreover, the younger brother also thinks that the foreign aid that Haoge can attract now should be Li Xiao. It's a pity that my Qing army soldiers fought to the death with the Tang army in Vladivostok some time ago, and they fought endlessly, and the two soldiers and horses seem to be an eternal feud. But I didn't expect that in just over ten days, Haoge shook hands with my great enemy of life and death in the Qing Dynasty, and the major enemy who killed his own Ama and seriously injured him, and formed an alliance and cooperated, but turned around to deal with his younger brother. This kind of drama really opened the eyes of the younger brothers. ”

When Huang Taiji heard this, he actually raised his head and laughed, and in that single eye, there seemed to be tears flashing with laughter. It's just that in his smile, you can still see at a glance the pain and entanglement hidden in that smile.

"Oh, does the emperor think this story is interesting? Or do you think that Hauge will eventually be able to seize the supreme power of the Qing Dynasty and thus avenge you? Dolgon's words were cold, as if without any human emotion.

Huang Taiji stopped laughing, but the pain on his face became more and more obvious, he sighed lightly, and then said slowly: "Dolgon, you and Hauge, such a struggle for power and profit, such an endless infighting, in my opinion, is just a battle between cranes and mussels, and it will only be a fisherman's profit." It's even more regrettable that Haoge now in order to protect himself, he did not hesitate to lure the wolf into the house, and did not hesitate to form an alliance with the enemy, and in the end he could only cheapen the traitor Li Xiao for nothing. And no matter who wins or loses in the future, I am afraid that it will only be my Qing Empire that will suffer great damage in the end. Perhaps, after the end of this civil war, the national fortunes of our Qing Dynasty will come to an end, and then, the Qing Empire, which was originally powerful and powerful, will only gradually go to extinction like the Ming Dynasty......"

"So what!" Dolgon let out a loud shout, interrupting Huang Taiji's words, his face swelled with anger, his whole long face instantly turned red, a pair of sharp triangular eyes were even brighter, he said sharply: "Huang Taiji, don't you think that it is meaningless for you to say these words now?" To tell you, compared with the so-called future of the Qing Dynasty, I am more concerned about whether I can hold the supreme power of the Qing Dynasty and whether I can finally control the entire Qing Empire in my own hands. Tell you Huang Taiji, there is a way that people do not do it, the heavens and the earth will be destroyed, the supreme power of the Great Qing Kingdom, I Dolgon is going to be determined, no one can stop me from obtaining it, and for this goal, even if I am ruined, even if it is stinking through the ages, I will not hesitate to do it! “

Dolgon paused, but there was a trace of inexplicable sadness on his flushed face, and there were tears in his eyes, he sighed and continued: "What's more, the situation is like this now, I am at the end of the day, and there is no way back except one way to the dark. If the power is handed over to you again, with your cold and vicious nature, I am afraid that you will immediately kill the three of our brothers, perhaps, we will be stripped alive on the street, so as to relieve the hatred in our hearts. I, Dorgon, am not stupid enough to do something stupid to kill myself! “

After Dolgon finished the last sentence in an accentuated tone, the expression on his face turned hideous, and the gaze of his eyes was as sharp as a knife, and he looked straight at Huang Taiji, putting on a completely torn face, and there was no room for recovery.

"Okay, okay, today I finally heard what Dolgon said from your heart." Huang Taiji struggled to squeeze out a miserable laugh: "In this case, you can do it." After all, I still have to thank you for giving me a chance to live. ”

Dolgon's face was as heavy as iron, and he didn't say much, but sat up slowly from his chair, and after taking a few steps out with difficulty, he suddenly turned sharply and solemnly bowed to Huang Taiji.

"Your Majesty, between our brothers, this brother has come to this day, and the younger brother can't help it. I also hope that the emperor understands the hard work of his courtiers, and don't blame him......"

Dolgon said this, his throat choked and it was difficult to continue, he raised his head to look at Huang Taiji, and his eyes were already glistening with tears.

Unexpectedly, Huang Taiji didn't look at him at all, his one-eyed gaze turned straight to the small window on the wall, and cast it into the endless dark night outside the window.

Dorgon sighed softly, turned around and left. He didn't notice that when he left, Huang Taiji turned his head, and in that one eye, a cold gaze was cast, and he followed him out of the ward.

Dorgon left the room, and then ordered the medical officer to go to another secret room with him.

When the two of them entered the room, the door was guarded by guards to prevent others from entering, and then the two of them sat at a table and divided the host and guest.

The medical officer, with a look of trepidation, sat unsteadily, but sat down diagonally, like a rabbit ready to flee at any moment.

Dorgon, on the other side, sat with his beard on his face gloomy, as if he was thinking about what to say to the medical officer next.

There was a moment of silence in the room.

Eventually, it was Dolgon who coughed lightly and spoke first. "Medical officer, this king wants you to do something, don't shirk it."

"Oh, what does Prince Rui want the little old man to do, but please tell me." The medical officer replied with a respectful face.

Dolgon sneered, and then said in a deep voice: "Medical officer, this king wants you to prepare a dose of decoction, so that after people drink it, although they will not die, they can be delirious forever. ”

Hearing Dolgon's words, the medical officer's face instantly turned pale.

Of course, he was not stupid, and knew what Dolgon really meant by saying this. Therefore, in this cold weather, the medical officer's forehead was dripping with cold sweat.

He stood up suddenly, knelt on the ground with a plop, and said with a wail: "Prince Rui, how dare the little old man do such a thing, please Prince Rui ......"

"Shut up!" Dolgon interrupted his plea sharply, his face was very hideous, and his words were as cold as ice: "Doctor, you listen well, you have to do this thing, you have to do it, you have to do it if you don't do it, you can't help it." If you do this well, the king will have a heavy reward, if you do it badly, or if you don't want to do it, then don't blame the king for turning his face and being ruthless, and then don't say that your lives are difficult to protect, even your family, this king will cut down the grass and eradicate the roots, and execute them together! ”

When the medical officer heard Dorgon's unrelenting words, he collapsed to the ground in shock, and his whole body trembled violently like a pendulum, and his face turned even pale.

"What's the matter, do you do it or not, quickly give this official a quasi-word." Dorgon asked impatiently.

The medical officer hid his face and began to cry, but after crying for a while, he finally nodded softly.

A contemptuous smile appeared on Dolgon's face, and he said coldly to the medical officer: "Well, this official will give you an hour to prepare the medicine, and then, the king will personally watch you drink it to the emperor!" ”

After Dolgon finished speaking, he ignored the terrified medical officer underground and walked away first.

However, Dolgon's fierce intimidation and coercion still had a good effect, and only half an hour later, the medical officer, together with his two apprentices, prepared a black potion, and then carefully brought it to Dolgon.

"Prince Yurui, this decoction is made of citrus aurantium, ephedra, and cinnamon as the main ingredients, and is led by aconitum as the medicine, and it is boiled over low heat in the Ding furnace, if you drink it, it can make people lose their minds, drowsiness, and its medical theory is ......"

"Okay, who listens to your memorization of medical books." Dolgon looked at the steaming potion, interrupted the doctor's nagging impatiently, and then said coldly: "Then what are you still doing in a daze, why don't you hurry up and bring the medicine to the emperor." ”

The medical officer made a quick promise, then took the decoction and took the two apprentices to Huang Taiji's ward. Behind him, Dolgon followed closely with several guards.

Entering the ward, Huang Taiji saw from a distance that the medical officer was trembling with a bowl of medicine, and a wry smile appeared on his face.

Seeing Huang Taiji's smile like this, Dolgon's heart trembled, he tried his best to maintain a calm face, and walked to Huang Taiji's sickbed with the medical officer.

The medical officer held the decoction in his hand, looked at Huang Taiji's eyes, there were tears rolling slightly, and he muttered: "Emperor, Emperor, it's time to drink medicine......

Huang Taiji was dumbfounded, and his blank eyes passed over the medical officer holding the potion in his hand, and fell straight at the face of Dolgon behind the medical officer.

Seeing the emperor's gaze directed at him, Dorgon suddenly felt unwell all over his body, and an indescribable anxiety and discomfort instantly permeated his whole body. He turned his head away and stopped looking at Huang Taiji.

Seeing that Huang Taiji didn't speak, the medical officer asked two more questions, but Huang Taiji still didn't respond.

The medical officer turned his head and looked at Dorgon with an embarrassed and embarrassed look, as if to ask him how to deal with the current situation.

Unexpectedly, before Dolgon could speak, Huang Taiji on the hospital bed burst out with a chuckle, he raised his left hand tremblingly, beckoned to Dolgon, and then said softly: "Old Fourteen, we are also brothers, this bowl of soup and medicine, just feed it to me." I want you to remember how I went from being a normal person to a stupid idiot who couldn't be a director in front of my brother. ”

Huang Taiji's words, like a sharp knife, pierced Dorgon's heart.

Dolgon suddenly found that he was in front of Huang Taiji, as if he had never raised his head, and he was still in front of this powerless Qing emperor, firmly suppressed by his imperial spirit, which made him full of restraint and oppression.

However, Dorgon was soon irritated by his own inexplicable flinching, and an inexplicable anger rose from his heart.

Hmph, since it has come to this point, what else can he not let go, isn't it just to let the fourth child become dementia again, since he begged to do it himself, then he personally fed him the decoction, in this way, it can be regarded as avenging the tragic death of Eniang Abahai.

Dolgon took a few steps forward, snatched the decoction from the medical officer's hand, and then leaned down, took the bowl in one hand and the spoon in the other, scooped a spoonful, and without saying a word, fed it to the mouth of Huang Taiji.

Unexpectedly, at this time, something happened that no one expected.

Huang Taiji, who seemed to be weak and weak, suddenly shouted, and his right hand, which had been shrinking in the quilt, burst up, holding a sharp medicine knife in his hand, and stabbed fiercely towards Dorgon's throat!
