Qingdu, Shengjing.n∈n∈,.

Shengjing was originally named Chenyang. It was supervised by Min Zhong, the commander of Liaodong in the 21st year of Hongwu. After its completion, the city wall was nine miles in circumference and two and five feet high. It was once a key military location for the Ming army to resist Mongolia and Jurchens in Liaodong, and set up the Shenyang Zhongwei here. During the Jiajing period, in order to resist the expansion of Jurchens, Chenyang City was expanded.

In 1621, Nurhaci captured Chenyang and moved the capital from Xingjing Xinbin to Liaoyang in Tokyo. Four years later, in 1625, he moved the capital again. In 1634, Huangtaiji reigned Chenyang as Shengjing. Two years later, Huangtaiji changed the reign to be emperor and established the country as the Qing Dynasty. Since then, Shengjing has become the political and military center of the Qing Dynasty.

At this time, Shengjing was more solid and majestic than before. After the expansion of Shengjing City, it was in a tic toe pattern. The four avenues in the city formed a tic toe, surrounding the Qing Dynasty palace in the middle. The four roads corresponded to the eight gates of Shengjing, and each of the Eight Banners guarded one gate.

Before going to Jinzhou, Huang Taiji agreed with six ministries to expand Shengjing, intending to build an outer city outside Shengjing. The planned outer city wall is seven feet and five feet high, 32 miles around, and is circular, with eight city gates. After completion, the entire Shengjing will be a two-dimensional city with a circle outside and square inside.

In the golden hall of the palace, Tai Yuer, who had just been honored as the Empress Dowager of the Holy Mother, sat behind the curtain with her aunt, Empress Dowager Zhezhe. In front of her, her three-year-old son Fulin, who is now the emperor of the Qing Dynasty.

Under the son's imperial stairs, there were a row of important officials standing.

Da Yu'er looked behind the curtain and saw many familiar faces missing. Especially among the Han ministers, the three great ministers led by Fan Wencheng were gone. Now the leader of the Han minister is Ning Wanwo, who was demoted earlier. Now he has just replaced Fan Wencheng's position as the Grand Secretary of the Inner Academy and has become the new leader of the Han minister and civil officials.

In Da Yu'er's eyes, the crown on his son Fulin's head was undoubtedly a bit too heavy for him.

Although this crown was temporarily made by the top craftsmen in Shengjing, it was still a bit uncomfortable to wear on the head of a three-year-old emperor.

This crown is made of the crown of the old emperor, and is made of hollowed-up silk technique in metalwork. It holds a top-quality big east bead like a dove egg. It is divided into three layers below. A slightly larger east bead is separated from each layer. Each layer is accompanied by four golden dragons. The head of the hemispherical base layer is facing down, and the golden dragon on the upper two layers opens its mouth to upward. Each dragon is decorated with an east bead.

The top of the Golden Dragon East Pearl on the crown is three inches and seven high. There is also a golden Buddha in the center of the front of the crown, and there is a serlin in the center of the back of the crown.

This crown is extremely dazzling and perfectly matches the noble identity of the person who wears it.

But for Fulin, who is only three years old, this golden dragon crown is still a bit heavy.

The golden crown, the golden Buddha, and the golden serlin on the crown are all exquisite, gorgeous and precious. The Dongzhu on the top is worth ten thousand yuan. However, the crown is four inches tall and two extremely heavy.

When Da Yu'er saw her son sitting on the dragon chaise, she kept shaking her head. He turned to the left, then turned his head to the right, then leaned back, and then leaned forward, as if this would make him feel more comfortable.

He was just a three-year-old child, and he didn't even understand the meaning of this crown. He just followed his mother's promise, put on the crown obediently and then sat on the dragon throne and listened to the ministers' visits and discussions, and after the matter was finished, he could go to see the peacock.

Da Yuer's real name is Bumubutai, which means a nobleman from heaven. She is the second daughter of the Belezsang of the Korqin tribe of Mongolia, and the Borjijit clan. This Borjijit clan is actually a misrecord by Borjiki. When the Ming people wrote about Yuan officials, they mistakenly recorded it as the surname of the Yuan Dynasty royal family. However, in fact, the ancient Mongolians had names but no surnames. Borjikit clan is a transliteration of Mongolian, and Borjigit clan is a misrecord by Borjikit clan.

Bumubutai was a Mongolian and the descendant of the Mongolian Golden Family. During the Huangtaiji era, the harem was dominated by women from the Mongolian tribe.

Bumubutai's nickname was Da Yu'er. He married Huang Taiji at the age of thirteen and entered the Qing Palace. Before her, her aunt Zhezhe had already married Huang Taiji and became the queen of Huang Taiji. Ten years after she married Huang Taiji, her sister Hai Lanzhu also married into the Qing Palace and became Huang Taiji's most beloved concubine. Later, Lin Danhan's great concubine also married Huang Taiji. The most favored queen and four concubines in Huang Taiji's harem were all Mongolian women, all of them Borjigit.

The discussion begins.

Minister of War. Zhenghuang Banner, Prince Heshuoying, Prince Ajige, stepped forward, "The Queen Mother, Your Majesty, the Auxiliary King Dorgon and Dai Shangang sent back messages that they have successfully recovered Haizhou and are currently leading troops north and are about to recover Liaoyang, Tokyo."

Ajige stood in the Golden Palace with a arrogant attitude and did not take the two empress dowagers and the emperor seriously at all. He even ignored Haoge, who was respected as one of the four auxiliary kings.

This is an arrogant person, Da Yuer thought to himself. Da Yuer knew very clearly that the late emperor suddenly passed away, and now Dorgon's three brothers are the strongest in the court. Although his son succeeded to the throne, he was just a puppet. Originally, when her husband had just succeeded to the throne, he was the weakest in his hands, but he could consolidate his strength by winning over Dai Shan. Later, by changing the flag with Dorgon's brothers, the strength of the three brothers was greatly weakened.

She knew there had been rumors that Taizu wanted to pass the throne to Dorgon, but Da Yuer didn't believe this at all. Dorgon was just a child at that time, and she married into the Qing palace at the age of thirteen and knew Dorgon very well. However, forcing Dorgon's mother to be buried with her and then changed her flags, which really made Dorgon's three brothers resentful to Huang Taiji.

What Da Yuer didn't understand was why Dorgon didn't go back to Shengjing to preside over the overall situation at this time, but instead asked Ajige to come back to preside over the overall situation on his behalf.

Ajige is not as brave as Dodo, and is not as smart as Dorgon. He acts recklessly and arrogantly. He has only returned to Shengjing for a few days, but he has done many domineering things. For example, she heard that Ajige broke into the mansion of the late Grand Secretary Fan Wencheng yesterday, forcibly seized Fan Wencheng's wife, and occupied the Fan family's property.

Just like a robber, his methods are simple and crude, which makes people unbelievable. As the head of the Qing Dynasty and the head of the Han Dynasty, Fan Wencheng has always been loyal to the Qing Dynasty and even died for His Majesty in the Liaohe River. However, Ajige treated his wife like this, which would make many people feel disappointed.

Especially this situation.

"That's good. I hope the two kings can recover Tokyo as soon as possible, return to Shengjing, and expel the Ming army." The mother Empress Dowager Zhezhe said slowly behind the curtain. The empress dowager was not enthusiastic about military and national affairs. Even in the harem when Huang Taiji was in power, she had always been indifferent and uncontested. For many years, the palace affairs were all under the control of Hai Lanzhu, and all the favors were concentrated on Hai Lanzhu. Zhezhe, the queen of the central palace, had never been jealous of it.

If it weren't for the eighth prince born to Hai Lanzhu who died before he was less than one year old, the one who sat on the throne now would definitely not be the ninth prince born to Da Yu'er.

Fulin sat on the dragon throne and didn't understand anything they said, just watched from side to side.

Fulin had no idea that just outside Shengjing, the Ming army had already arrived at the city. If the kings had not returned quickly, I was afraid that Liu Jiye would have launched an attack long ago.

Now that the kings are back to help, Liu Junye is still stationed outside the city, with no sign of retreating. Da Yuer has heard of many things about Liu Jiye during this period. He knows that he is only in his twenties, but he is a god of troops. Since he leads the army, he has been invincible in attacks. Especially since he has extremely powerful artillery in his hand, he can blast out no matter how strong the city is.

When Da Yuer heard that Ajige had sent a lot of troops out of the city, she asked worriedly, "Prince Ying, I heard that you sent troops out of the city, don't know what the situation of the battle?"

"Go back to the Queen Mother, everything goes well." Azig replied.

Haoge snorted coldly on the side, and the hum was not light, and many people heard it. Ajige turned to glar at Haoge, and Haoge sneered, "Everything goes well? Prince Ying is afraid that what he said is untrue. As far as I know, you transferred 20,000 people out of the city yesterday, and divided the troops into seven routes to sweep the black flag rebels in the north of the city. As a result, not only did there be no progress, but also suffered a lot of soldiers and generals in Puhe City. I heard that thousands of people died!"

"It's just that more than a thousand coated slaves have been damaged." Ajige said a little annoyed. In fact, when he received the battle report from Puhe City, he was also shocked. After careful study, he realized that although there were not many soldiers in Puhe City, only five or six hundred, there were guns and cannons. The three thousand troops who attacked the city underestimated the enemy too much, and ended up losing thousands of corpses under the city and finally had to retreat.

"Baoyi Aha is also precious. Although we have won the victory of Songjin this year, we have also lost a lot of troops. Not to mention that tens of thousands of Black Flag troops have now become rebels and turned against the Southern Dynasty. Even our Eight Banners warriors have lost as many as seven or eight thousand. Every warrior in our Eight Banners is precious. Now even Baoyi Aha is precious, but he cannot withstand such damage." Haoge took the opportunity, and then he sneered again, "Or, the people who died in Puhe City are all Baoyi Aha of Zhenghuang Banners, so you, the acting banner owner, don't you feel sorry for?"

"You dare!" Azig shouted angrily.

Haoge also shouted loudly, "Be arrogant, dare to be rude to the regent, dare to roar in front of the two empress dowagers and the emperor!"

"Don't calm down, both are family, don't hurt the harmony." Empress Dowager Dong Zhezhe quickly persuaded.

Because there are two empress dowagers now, one is honored as the mother Empress Dowager and the other is respected as the Holy Mother Empress Dowager, which is somewhat confusing and difficult to clarify. The people below simply call Zhezhe the Empress Dowager of the East Palace and Da Yuer the Empress Dowager of the West Palace.

When has it been so late? Da Yuer sighed in her heart.

‘Isn’t it just a small Puhe City? I will take him down in person later!” Ajige said coldly to Haoge.

"You have to do what you say. I will wait for your good news in the capital!" Haoge responded unwillingly.

"Let's see!" (To be continued.)
