Huang Taiji's outburst of anger only lasted for a moment before he calmed down, and it was the first time that the Houjin Khan had lost control in front of people. Even when he first ascended the throne, he failed to attack Jinzhou City, fulfilling Nurhachi's last instruction: As for the siege of the city, when the situation is observed, the momentum can be lowered, then the troops are ordered to attack it, otherwise do not attack. If you don't pull it out, you will be humiliated!

Soon after he ascended the throne, he commanded the Eight Banners army to attack Mingcheng, which caused many casualties among the Eight Banners, and had to retire to Shenyang with the shame of "disgrace", and he was not as angry as he is now.

Hearing from Engdel and Bao Chengxian that Du Du might defect to the Ming Kingdom, Huang Taiji was skeptical. Although Du Du is the eldest grandson of Nurhachi, after the political purge of Jurchen relatives such as Nurhachi and Daishan in China, the supporters of Chu Ying's family were either killed or changed, and Chu Ying's power, which was second only to Nurhachi himself, has basically declined.

For such a nephew who has been reduced to a broken household, Huang Taiji wants to dispose of him, but it is just a matter of one sentence.

The reason why he brought Du Du out again was precisely because it was the big Baylor Daishan who made the biggest contribution to framing Chu Ying back then, although Du Du, who had no foundation, couldn't make any waves in the Eight Banners, but he was the most suitable candidate to deal with Daishan.

If Dai Shan attacked Du Du, it would undoubtedly be equivalent to ruining his reputation. first framed his brother, and now he doesn't even let go of his brother's bloodline, even if the Houjin military and people worship the strong, they won't like a person who is too brutal.

And if Dai Shan didn't attack Du Du, because of his father's death, Du Du would not have been able to throw himself into Dai Shan, but would be his right-hand man to deal with the two red flags.

As for Emperor Ming's clumsy plan, people can understand at a glance that this is just trying to make him suspicious of Du Du and kill people with his knife.

In addition to despising the intelligence of the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom, Huang Taiji did not intend to believe Engdel's whistleblowing. He felt that with such a handle, he could use it as a weapon to beat Du Du in the future.

But the fact that Bao Chengxian confessed, coupled with this letter to Sanbeile Mang Gurtai, finally made him break through his self-control.

Different from Chu Ying's family in the twilight, Mang Gurtai, who is the owner of the Zhenglan Banner, one of the three banners, is in the prime of life, and his Zhenglan Banner is even equivalent to the strength of the two yellow flags in Huang Taiji's hands.

Mang Gurtai had a noble status, and in the last period of Nurhachi's life, he was the son who was most relied on by his father Khan. From the fact that he presided over the crusade against the Mongol tribes west of the Later Jin, it can be seen from the Later Jin people.

Therefore, after the death of his father Khan, Mang Gurtai became the most formidable opponent to compete with him for the throne of Khan. For Huang Taiji, dealing with Amin is a matter of course, after all, Daishan is old, and Amin is not a descendant of Nurhachi.

Of the three, only the young Mang Gultai was the most threatening to him, and he was also the object he wanted to deal with the most. Especially since last year, through Amin's central contact, the three Baylors have gradually come together.

In this situation, suppressing the prestige of the three major Baylors, especially Mang Gurtai, is what Huang Taiji wants to do. How Mang Gurtai's biological mother died, in fact, everyone does not know.

When Nurhachi drove Mang Gultai's biological mother back, she died violently soon after, and no one knows whether she really died of a violent illness or committed suicide.

At this time, some people spread rumors among the Jurchen relatives and nobles that Mang Gurtai killed his mother to please Nurhachi, and Huang Taiji naturally added fuel to the spread of people in private, but this kind of rumor can only hit Mang Gurtai's reputation now, and it cannot be used to blame Mang Gurtai.

However, Huang Taiji is not in a hurry, he hopes that this rumor can be slowly fermented, and he can take advantage of it when the time is right.

But now the Ming people actually planted this rumor on him, and asked Du Du and Bao Chengxian, a member of the Wenguan he recruited, as a witness, to directly write a letter to Mang Gurtai, this way of sowing discord is too rough and direct, and he completely treats them as fools.

Most of Huang Taiji's anger was because Emperor Ming's naked contempt hurt his self-esteem. The other half of the anger is that he can't break the game for a while.

If it was just to maintain the unity within Houjin, he only needed to publish this letter in public, and then clarify the rumors of killing his biological mother for Mang Gurtai, he would definitely be able to unite the Jurchen relatives in the current situation, and no longer have any half-hearted thoughts.

But this is exactly what Huang Taiji can't do and is willing to do, clarifying the rumors that Mang Gurtai killed his biological mother, which is equivalent to restoring his prestige in the hearts of ordinary soldiers and civilians in the Later Jin, coupled with the support of Daishan and Amin, Mang Gurtai immediately became a powerful person enough to contend with him.

If the situation of the three Baylors huddled together to keep warm, then he wanted to deal with the three Baylors, take over the power in their hands, and return the plan to himself, and it would take a lot of twists and turns, and it might even lead to a civil strife in the post-Jin country.

Once such a civil strife occurred, it would be difficult for him to realize his idea of continuing to expand Houjin's space of influence while steadily recovering power at home. As long as blood is shed in the power struggle at home, whether he wants it or not, Houjin's current momentum of expanding his power outward will be interrupted.

In order to prevent political opponents from using force to solve themselves, powerful Jurchen relatives and nobles will shrink their forces back to prevent their opponents from taking risks. When everyone turned their attention to the power struggle in the country, then at this moment, because of the large blank area vacated by Chahar's relocation, Houjin could not send personnel to receive it.

And choosing not to make this letter public, it is tacitly accepted that the rumors continue to exist, and if the Ming people publicize this matter, then Huang Taiji's position will become extremely passive.

The most troublesome thing is that once Mang Gurtai knows about this, it will inevitably cause him to be wary of himself, and Huang Taiji will add a lot of trouble if he wants to attack him in the future.

In addition to not being able to grasp the current affairs of Shang Nurhachi, since he ascended the throne and took over as the Great Khan, the internal and foreign affairs of the Later Jin State have basically run under his plan, and he has never deviated from his predetermined goal life, and now because of the young emperor of the Ming State who has just ascended the throne, there are faint signs of losing control.

This feeling made Huang Taiji, who was just beginning to get used to being in control, feel very uncomfortable, and it also made him lose control of his emotions at this moment. Of course, this is also because the people standing in the big tent now are his more trusted henchmen, not his brothers who have different hearts.

In front of these close minions, Huang Taiji will show some more real emotions a little, instead of continuing to perform the image of the generous and benevolent Great Khan.

After calming down and calming down again, Huang Taiji began to think about what his Ming emperor was doing these things for.

He thought about it for a long time and couldn't figure out a clue, so he turned his head to Bao Chengxian, who was still lying there with five bodies, and said, "You're done with everything you want to say?" If you're done, let's go down first. ”

Bao Chengxian, who didn't dare to come out of the atmosphere, seemed to come back to life, and continued to report to Huang Taiji, what he said afterwards was about Du Du, and the general situation was similar to what Engdel said, except that he listened to two more sentences than Engdel, which was about Du Du's words of gratitude to the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom and his nostalgia for his father.

Huang Taiji has something on his mind, and he only cares about whether he is consistent with what Engdel said. I didn't hear it, about the words that Du Du answered, Bao Chengxian spoke very fluently, not like he was recalling, but reciting a book.

After listening to Bao Chengxian's report, Huang Taiji waved his hand to the guards to send him back to the tent and asked him not to move around at will. After Bao Cheng walked out of the big tent first, he was blown by a gust of cold wind, and he felt that his back was a little cold, and he obviously just had a lot of sweat.

However, he is now a little more down-to-earth in his heart, and after pushing Du Du out, as a typical example of defecting to the Ming Kingdom, a small person like him who is insignificant in the eyes of the Jurchen relatives and nobles, there must not be many people who will pay attention to whether he betrayed the Hou Jin Kingdom after he was captured.

Although when he reported to Huang Taiji, he slightly modified the words that Du Du said to the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom, but the basic content was still the passages that the Ming people taught him to memorize.

Bao Chengxian, who is proficient in the knowledge of officialdom struggle, even if he thinks with his ass, knows very well that these ambiguous words will bury Du Du's pitiful future in Houjin.

But what does this have to do with him? As Nurhachi's eldest grandson, once the rumors of Du Du's private surrender to the Ming Kingdom spread, the other three people who were released together would be covered up by this news now about their performance in the Shimen War.

And the best thing is that because the content of the conversation between the Ming Emperor and Du Du mostly involves the old things between Nurhachi and Chu Ying. The older generation of Jurchens in the Later Jin country knew that this was an unjust case, but everyone was reluctant to mention it, for fear that it would be purged by the Jurchen relatives and nobles who overthrew Chu Ying back then.

In particular, at least two of the four major Baylors contributed greatly to the liquidation action to bring down Chu Ying back then. One is the big Belle Daishan, and the other is Huang Taiji himself, which is also a stain on the two. Bringing up this old incident will inevitably cause retaliation from these two.

Du Du discussed this with the emperor of the Ming Kingdom, and if he said the content in public, it is estimated that the end will not be far from his sin of defecting to the Ming Kingdom. Therefore, as long as Du Du has not gone crazy, he will not honestly explain the content of these conversations.

Du Du, who could not explain the truth and concealed it, and Engeldel and Bao Chengxian's testimony against him, made Huang Taiji also begin to hold a grudge against Du Du, so he betrayed Houjin's statement, and doubted the letter.

After thinking for a while, he asked the guards to call Fan Wencheng over, and then asked this confidant, who was from an innocent background and was now focusing on cultivating, to take Du Du's old fold and compare it with Du Du's signature on the letter.

After working for a long time, Fan Wencheng finally raised his head and said to Huang Taiji: "Master, the slave has been compared, this handwriting must be written by Du Du Belle." ”

After hearing Fan Wencheng's answer, Huang Taiji also nodded and said to Baksh Hesheri Xifu on the side: "None of the entourage serving by Du Dubeile has been released by the Ming people, I'm afraid it will be inconvenient for him to live alone, you go to the Zhenghuang Banner and select ten people to serve as his guards until you return to Shenyang." In addition, send someone to the right camp of Mongolia, and let Wunag come back first..."
