Thanks to my two friends Xiao Shengsheng and Weixun Xiyangxia for their tips, thank you.
**********************************
Prince Su's Mansion is located in the eastern district of Yanjing. It has a beautiful environment and is magnificent. From south to north, there are the mansion gate, Yin'an Hall, east and west wings, the temple, the back building, etc. There is a garden on the west side.
Hauge is thirty-six years old this year, three years older than his uncle Dorgon.
A few months ago, after eating human flesh at Wuyang Pass, Hauge had to abandon Wuyang Pass and retreat to Xinyang. Dorgon dismissed his military power and recalled him to Yanjing on the grounds that he was not fighting well and lost troops and territory.
What a shitty ineffective battle. As the regent, Dorgon didn't deliver any food or fodder, so the soldiers at Wuyang Pass didn't even have corpses to eat before they were forced to retreat to Xinyang. Is this what you call an ineffective battle
As the saying goes, if you want to accuse someone, you can always find a pretext. Before entering the Pass, the three brothers of Dorgon used the traitor He Luohui to frame Fulin and wanted to put him to death. In the end, it was not until Fulin refused to eat or drink for several days that Dorgon compromised and only stripped him of his title and demoted him to a commoner.
Now his title was restored, but the Zhenglan Banner, which should have belonged to him, was now in the hands of Duoduo. When he was recalled to the capital this time, Hauge once again felt that danger was approaching him step by step. After returning to the capital, except for occasionally going to the residence of Prince Zheng Jirgalang for tea, he usually lived a reclusive life.
It was the coldest time of winter, and the snow was thick in Yanjing. The garden was covered in white. Haoge, who had nothing to do, taught his fourth son, the ten-year-old Fu Shou, archery in the garden.
Looking beside him was Hauge's wife, Fu Shou's biological mother, Borjigit Dulema. She was a woman in her late thirties, wearing a long Manchu dress that reached her ankles, or a waistcoat. The colors were bright and colorful, and she wore long white socks and embroidered shoes with flower pot soles. She was full of mature and attractive charm.
It is worth mentioning her surname: Borjigit.
That's right, she was born in Mongolia. She was the daughter of Honggoer Beile of the Left Rear Banner of Horqin, and the cousin of the current Holy Mother Empress Dowager of the Qing Dynasty, Borjigit Bumbutai. Her maiden name was Dulema.
The family of three lived a very comfortable and happy life, at least on the surface.
Haoge patiently said to his son Fu Sui: "Look at me, like this, spread your feet as wide as your shoulders, and put your body weight evenly on your feet. And lean your body forward slightly, after putting the arrow on the bow, aim the tip of the arrow at the target, and when you draw the bow, the force should be even, and your hands should not shake..."
The ten-year-old Fu Sui did as instructed. As a nation on horseback, archery skills directly affect a person's future prestige, so he must practice diligently from a young age.
"Bang!" The arrow flew away from the bow... Bang! Suddenly, there was a loud noise in the front yard, so the family of three could not even bother to see whether Fu Sui's arrow had hit the target.
Soon, there was a noise and quarrel outside the courtyard, and Haoge was alert. He grabbed his sword and walked out, saying to his wife: "Dulema, take Fu Sui back to the room first, I will go and take a look."
No need to look. A group of guards rushed in like wolves and tigers. The eunuch in front held a bright yellow imperial edict in his hand and shouted sharply: "Prince Heshuo Su Haoge, listen to the order."
When Haoge saw the people coming, he was filled with rage. He almost couldn't help but draw his sword and rush forward to chop all these people to death. After a moment's hesitation, he put down his sword and bowed, saying, "I will obey your order."
"The Emperor, in compliance with the Will of Heaven, declares: Prince Heshuo Su Haoge has been eyeing the throne and colluding with traitors to cause chaos..."
When Haoge heard the eunuch say that he had colluded with traitors to cause chaos, his head buzzed. He no longer had the heart to listen to what the eunuch said next. A surge of anger rushed to his head, and he could not help but roared: "Dorgon!"
"Catch him!" the eunuch screamed.
The two groups of guards immediately rushed up to grab Haoge. Haoge struggled to break free and pushed the two guards so hard that they staggered. "Get out of here. I will go find Dorgon myself."
"That won't do, Prince Su, I'm sorry, you've committed the crime of treason, come on, capture me, if you dare to resist, I'll kill you without mercy!"
At the eunuch's scream, a group of guards rushed up again, captured Haoge and tied him up. Although Haoge was furious, he did not struggle anymore. He knew very well that if he struggled now, it would only give Dorgon an excuse to kill him.
"father!"
"Your Majesty!"
Borjigit and her son rushed over crying loudly, but were stopped by the guards. No matter how the mother and son cried, no one paid any attention to them. Hauge was quickly taken away and thrown directly into prison.
Once Dorgon took action, he naturally moved swiftly. He immediately convened a court meeting to discuss the punishment of Hauge. For such a big matter, all the iron-hatted kings who could come came.
There are now eight iron-hat kings in the Qing Dynasty, namely:
Prince Heshuo Li: Daishan.
Prince Heshuo Rui: Dorgon.
Heshuo Prince Yu: Duoduo.
Prince Zheng: Jirgalang.
Heshuo Prince Su: Hauge.
Prince Heshuo Chengze: Shuo Sai (fifth son of Huang Taiji)
Prince Duoluo Yanxi: Luo Luohun (grandson of Daishan).
Prince Duolo Shuncheng: Lekedehun (grandson of Daishan)
You can understand the so-called iron-hat kings in this way: they have strength, usually each controls a flag, and the official hats on their heads are hereditary and unbreakable, as if they were made of iron.
Of course, whether the official hat on His Excellency Prince Heshuo Su's head is as solid as iron is another matter.
Now Duoduo and Lekedehun are both leading troops outside, and Hauge is in custody. The only five iron-hat princes who came to attend the court meeting are Daishan, Jirgalang, Luoluohun and Shuosai.
Among them, Shuose is only eighteen years old and has little experience, so he actually has no say, but he can make up the numbers, and sometimes this "number" is very important.
Furthermore, at first glance, among the eight iron-hat kings, three were Daishan’s ancestors and grandchildren, so Daishan’s strength should be no less than that of Dorgon.
But we cannot judge things by appearances. Daishan was a failure. His two grandsons were both iron-hat princes, but they basically went against him. Instead, they became very close to the three Dorgon brothers.
The atmosphere at the court meeting was extremely solemn. Everyone had heard the news that Hauge was suddenly imprisoned and knew that another storm was about to come.
The war on the front line continued to fail, and Dorgon's pressure had reached a critical point. It was not unreasonable for him to suddenly take action against Hauge at this time.
When the king is angry, millions of people will be killed. Once Dorgon raises his butcher knife, no one knows how many people will be affected.
First-class duke Shumulu Tantai came out first and impeached Haoge, saying that he and generals such as Tulai and fourteen other people including Hesheli Xifu, the Grand Secretary of the Inner Hongwen Academy, conspired to usurp the throne. At the same time, he colluded with Jiang Xiang of Datong to instigate a rebellion in Datong, trying to put the blame on the regent and thus strike at the regent Dorgon... ... ...
Tan Tai spoke with conviction and provided a lot of witnesses and evidence, which immediately shocked the Manchu and Han ministers in the palace.
Everyone immediately thought of the fact that Aobai abandoned Fengyang and led his troops back north. Some people even suspected that Aobai intended to lead his troops back to Beijing to seize the throne. Although Tan Tai did not mention Aobai's name, everyone knew that he was a member of Hauge's faction.
Dorgon was also somewhat surprised. In his plan, he did not include the Grand Secretary of the Inner Hongwen Academy and Hesheli Xifu in the list of targets.
Tan Tai actually took the initiative to include Xifu in the list of treason, which made Dorgon secretly angry.
It is obvious that not only Hauge's group is ready to make moves, but even the people in his own camp are beginning to disobey.
The best proof is that Tan Tai dared to smuggle in such an important matter.
Prince Heshuo Zheng Jirgalang could no longer sit still. Recently, Haoge came to his house from time to time to drink tea. Although the two of them really just drank tea and nothing else, who would believe it if this were told to others
Once Hauge was convicted, Dorgon might not necessarily go all the way and kill him as well.
He had no choice but to stand up and say, "Regent, regardless of whether Tan Tai's impeachment is true or not, I hope that the Regent will put the overall situation first. Now the war is not going well in the front, the army is retreating step by step, and rebellions are endless in various places. If everyone does not unite and work together, I am afraid that my Qing Dynasty will not be able to overcome the difficulties ahead."
Jirgalang's words were very serious, and the spearhead was almost directed at Dorgon, implying that he was engaging in internal strife at a critical juncture.
Tan Qin sneered and said, "Prince Zheng, you should first find out who is plotting rebellion and who is trying to seize the throne without considering the overall situation. If these people are not brought to justice, the Qing Dynasty will be in real danger."
Hesheli Soni was also a member of the Haoge faction, and Tan Tai had clearly pointed out that his uncle Hesheli Xifu was involved in the rebellion. He knew that if the nest is destroyed, no egg will be left unbroken, so he immediately came out and pointed at Tan Tai's nose and cursed: "You despicable traitor, can you believe your words? Prince Su had made great achievements in the war, but he was defeated at Wuyang Pass because there was no food supply in the rear. Datong Jiang Xiang rebelled against the entire Qing Dynasty, and it was not Prince Su who instigated it. You, a traitor, are really trying to find a pretext to accuse him."
There was a reason why Sony cursed Tan Tai as a traitor. Tan Tai had once sworn together with Aobai, Sony and others to assist Huang Taiji's son and stand on Hauge's side.
But later, Tan Tai, He Luohui and others defected to Dorgon's camp and framed Hauge. For this, Sony, Aobai and others still feel resentful about it and can't help but call him a traitor.
