(Thank you for being proud of Asura, Shuhaiyunyouxianren, happy chatting, strange friends who voted for valuable monthly tickets, thank you for choosing to take the middle route, thank you, today is the first day of the new year, and I would like to thank all readers Happy New Year.)

When Jierhalang returned to Shenyang, at the gate of the imperial palace, it was not Huang Taiji who greeted him, but Hauge, who had already been established as the crown prince.

This surprised Jierhalang very much, and he didn't quite understand why such a situation happened. Anyway, I spent more than half a year in the capital of the Ming Dynasty, trying my best to maintain negotiations with the Ming court. If there is no credit, there is hard work. It is said that Huang Taiji should personally meet him.

It is impossible for Huang Taiji to have such a big air. In such a situation, according to Ji Erhalang's analysis, it may be due to two reasons. The first is that Huang Taiji's health is not very good, he is resting, and it is not convenient to come outside the palace The second is to consolidate and improve Hauge's prestige, so that Hauge can better lead the Qing Dynasty and achieve more significant development in the future.

The rules of etiquette in the Qing Dynasty are very strict. On the surface, princes, county kings, Baylor and Beizi, under normal circumstances, do not kneel down when they see Huang Taiji, but this is also Huang Taiji's sympathy. , are members of the royal family, and it is not a special case, so there is no need to kneel down, but according to the rules, every court meeting also needs to kneel down.

When you see Huang Taiji, you need to kneel down, and when you see the crown prince Hauge, the rules are the same.

Seeing Hauge who came to greet him, Jierharang knelt down without hesitation.

"Chen Jier Harang sees the crown prince."

Hauge was obviously still a little unfamiliar. After seeing Jierhalang kneeling down, he quickly stepped forward and helped Jierharang up. [

"Prince Zheng has worked hard. My father ordered me to come here to meet Prince Zheng."

Jierhalang's face was very serious, his guess was accurate, Huang Taiji asked Hauge to greet him at the gate of the palace, in order to establish Hauge's prestige, it seems that among the dignitaries of the Qing Dynasty , Not everyone agrees with Haug's status as the crown prince.This is not a good situation.Worrying.

Following Hauge and walking slowly to Chongzheng Hall, Jierhalang wanted to ask about the situation in the capital, but he finally chose to remain silent. If Hauge was still in his previous identity, Jierhalang would definitely Asked.

When he entered Chongzheng Hall and saw Huang Taiji for the first time, Jierhalang couldn't believe his eyes.

Huang Taiji's face was pale, and the original rosiness had long since disappeared.And the hair is also a little gray, looking very old. When Jier Harang left Shenyang, Huang Taiji still looked very energetic, but after more than half a year, he became what he is now. This is really Jier Harlan hadn't expected it.

The moment he saw Huang Taiji, Ji Erhalang suddenly understood.Why did Huang Taiji rush to make Hauge the crown prince?

Now that the crown prince is established, it is for the Qing Dynasty.Not a very good choice, it can be said to be a bad move, the negotiation with the Ming court has just ended, even if it is to maintain face, it must be guaranteed for a period of time, at least not to establish a crown prince within a year.This can ensure the stability of the surrounding area, and can continue to "confuse" the Ming court. As for the matter of Huang Taiji going to the Daming capital, he can find many excuses and send other people to the Daming capital.But once the crown prince is established, once the Ming court knows such news, they will not believe the signed agreement at all.

It seems that Huang Taiji's body has reached the point where it is difficult to support.

Jierharang is clear about the thoughts of some dignitaries in the Qing Dynasty. Hauge is not the most ideal heir. Some people are watching from behind. Under Huang Taiji's help, he can only choose to establish the crown prince, although this is the worst The choice, but it is better than causing fluctuations and shocks in the Qing Dynasty.

After Jierhalang knelt down, Huang Taiji tried hard to stand up, but finally gave up.

"Prince Zheng calm down, I'm not feeling well, so I won't help you."

"Your Majesty, I have negotiated with the Ming court for nine months, and I have finally fulfilled my mission."

"I know, you have worked hard, go back to Shenyang, and rest for a while. I have established Hauge as the crown prince. The Ming court must also know about this news. I don't know what the Chongzhen Emperor of the Ming Dynasty would think. These days, I've been thinking about it, and I've always been worried about your safety, but fortunately I'm back in Shenyang, and everything is over."

Jierhalang looked at Huang Taiji and didn't say a word. In fact, he also thought of such a thing. Emperor Chongzhen of Ming Dynasty, feeling deceived, was very angry and might launch a full-scale attack on the Qing Dynasty. At this time, Chongzhen would be an idiot if he still didn't understand the meaning of the negotiations.

The Qing Dynasty must be ready to face the battle. [

"I see, that Emperor Chongzhen must be furious. It's not good to be teased. If there is no action, Chongzhen's face will be lost. The Ming army may launch a large-scale attack in the near future."

Jierhalang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that Huang Taiji had already made preparations.

"That Su Tiancheng of Ming Dynasty, I really didn't expect that after leaving the grassland, he would rush to Fujian to recover Taiwan Island and drive away the Dutch. I was not idle, and neither was this Su Tiancheng. Hauge, the next step is up to you. We must seriously deal with the possible attacks of the Ming army, especially the defense in two directions, the Liaodong direction and the Haizhou direction. Among them, the Haizhou direction is the focus. Su Tiancheng and the Jiangning battalion, It is very likely that the attack will be launched directly from the direction of Haizhou."

"Now is the season when there is no harvest. At this time, Chongzhen is thinking about launching an attack. It is not so easy to mobilize so many troops. According to my analysis, the attack will be carried out after the autumn harvest. Hauge must be dispatched accordingly." Take responsibility, I feel a little unwell, it's up to you."

Jierharang's heart began to beat wildly.

In the past, when encountering such a situation, there were two possibilities. The first was that Huang Taiji personally led the army to conquer, which accounted for the majority. In terms of ability and combat bravery, Dorgon is second only to Huang Taiji, but this time, Huang Taiji directly asked Haoge to be responsible, that is to say, Dorgon, Duoduo, Azige and others must obey Haoge. Grid dispatched.

I don't know if Dorgon and others will completely obey the dispatch.

The purpose of Huang Taiji saying such words in front of Jierhalang is also very clear, that is to ascertain his attitude and see if he supports Hauge.

After Huang Taiji finished speaking, Jierharang spoke quickly.

"Your Majesty, I suggest that His Royal Highness be the commander-in-chief to fully coordinate the campaign against the Ming army."

After leaving the Chongzheng Palace and finally returning to the mansion, Ji Erhalang thought about taking a good rest.

It's a pity that before he could breathe a sigh of relief, the steward came to report that Azig, king of Yingwu County, came to visit.

Jierharang's face darkened, and he didn't speak immediately. At such a time, Azig came to visit. If there was no special meaning, no one would believe it. It is also clear. It can even be said that Azig has greater ambitions than Dorgon. As long as he has the opportunity, he would like to become the emperor himself. However, Azig's visit at this time may not be for himself, but for Dorgon. .

Dorgon is very smart, and at critical moments, he will not show up in person.

For various reasons, Azige was neglected by Huang Taiji, which was tantamount to a state of idleness. Forgive me, after all, Azige is still a warrior and is Huang Taiji's brother. If Azige talks too much about the crown prince, says something unfavorable to himself, or even does something out of line, I'm afraid Huang Taiji's patience is also limited.

After thinking for a while, Jierharang came to the living room.

He didn't bring Azig to the study to avoid suspicion.

Azig was waiting in the living room, and when he saw Jierharang, he cupped his fists and opened his mouth.

"Prince Zheng went to Daming Capital for more than half a year, and the brothers haven't seen each other for a long time."

"It's my duty, there's no other way, I really want to come back to Shenyang, thank you King Yingwu for your concern."

The two exchanged polite remarks, and soon, Azig got to the point.

"Prince Zheng returned to Shenyang, so he must have met Crown Prince Hauge."

After Azige said this, Jierhalang's face changed. Haoge has become the crown prince, and his status has long been different. It is disrespectful to call him by his first name, although it is in private. The conversation, but also need to pay attention.

"Young King Yingwu, when I returned to Shenyang, I must have paid a visit to His Highness the Crown Prince. This is not surprising. Didn't King Yingwu pay a visit to His Highness the Crown Prince?"

Azig pursed his lips. In terms of seniority, both Jierharang and Azige are Hauge's elders, although the age gap between Azig and Hauge is not that big.

"I need to meet you, but I don't think it's very comfortable."

Jierharang stood up with a smile on his face.

"Young King Yingwu, we don't discuss these things today. I have been away from Shenyang for half a year. I haven't had a good meal and drink for such a long time. Today, King Yingwu is here. We won't return if we are not drunk. King Yingwu is here later. I'm going to wash up."

Azig still wanted to speak, but Jierharang had already turned around and left, leaving the butler to accompany Azig.

Seeing Jierharang's performance like this, Azig's face also changed, thinking about cursing, but the housekeeper was by his side.

A few minutes later, Azig said to the butler that he had something to do, so he would not eat. If Prince Zheng asked, he apologized, and got up and left in a hurry.

The housekeeper didn't expect this move, so he rushed to the study and reported to Jierhalang, who knew that Jierharang just nodded, saying he knew. (To be continued..)
