Pieces of exquisite porcelain were repeatedly destroyed by Dorgon's ruthless hands, but it still could not dispel the anger in his heart.
"Chu Ying, Aguda, please wait for me."
Howls like wild beasts sounded in the palace.
"Huhu..."
After venting his anger, Dorgon stopped moving his hands and began to breathe heavily. Although the anger in his heart subsided slightly, his eyes were still red, as if he wanted to choose someone to devour.
The coveted throne was clearly within reach, but Chu Ying and Chu Hu suddenly appeared in the middle of the road. The pain of having hope but despairing again is difficult for those who have not experienced it personally to understand.
The feeling was so oppressive that it made one go crazy.
What kind of virtue is bad?
Old and young in order?
Bah, it's all bullshit.
Why don't you talk about ability and merit?
It’s not that Chu Ying is easier to control than Dorgon, so if Chu Ying ascends the throne, the aristocratic faction headed by Aguda will also benefit the most.
Dorgon was much smarter than Chu Ying. He knew the reason why Aguda didn't choose him, but he couldn't stop it.
The power of Aguda's faction is too strong. If Dorgon forcibly stops it, the Manchu Qing Dynasty will immediately fall into civil strife.
Today's Manchu Qing Dynasty, with the death of its late emperor, a leaderless army, and an entire army of more than 200,000 people, was at its weakest moment.
If there is still internal fighting at this time, once the more than 300,000 Qin troops in Youzhou attack, the country will really be destroyed.
Therefore, for the sake of the overall situation, Dorgon could only abandon his ego and reluctantly give up the throne to Chu Ying. However, he really couldn't swallow his bad breath, so he could only hide and vent his anger alone.
If another brother had succeeded him, Dorgon would not be willing to accept it, but he would never be so angry. However, it was his eldest brother Chu Ying who succeeded him in the end.
Who is Chu Ying?
It's simply a piece of trash.
He is the last among all brothers.
Dorgon despised this elder brother from the bottom of his heart.
Let such a person inherit the throne, Dorgon only felt that the Qing Dynasty had no future.
"Brother, it's not good, Chu..."
Xuan Ye and Hongli rushed into the study. They were the later Emperors Kangxi and Qianlong respectively.
As soon as "Chu" was spoken, Kangxi immediately realized that the person he was talking about was now the emperor and could not call him by his first name, so he quickly changed his words.
"Your Majesty has appointed King Jin as regent, taking charge of the military and political power of the country."
"What?"
Dorgon's eyes widened. He would agree to Chu Ying's ascension to the throne because he and Aguda had negotiated that the two of them would jointly take charge of the military and political power, so he was willing to step back and support Chu Ying's ascension to the throne.
Now that Chu Ying has ascended the throne, Aguda has also been named the regent, but Dorgon has been left alone. It is obvious that Aguda is not prepared to abide by the agreement.
"Aguda..."
Dorgon was so angry that he was trembling with anger at Aguma's shameless act. He gritted his teeth and said, "You are going too far."
But no matter how angry he was, Dorgon didn't dare to get angry. If he flipped the table, everyone would forget about it. He couldn't destroy the entire Qing Dynasty for his own selfish interests.
Seeing Dorgon who was clearly angry but had nowhere to vent, Qianlong hesitated for a moment and then said: "Your Majesty, the two generals Shanshituo and Yang Dayan are back."
After hearing this, Dorgon's face softened slightly and asked: "Where are they?"
"I am being hosted by King Jin for a banquet, and there are many other generals going with me."
The veins on Dorgon's forehead popped out, he clenched his fists and roared: "Traitor, traitor."
After a while, he loosened his grip weakly, as if he had lost his soul.
"That's all, they can go if they want to."
After saying this, Dorgon fell to the ground, looking as if he was out of his mind and ready to break the jar.
Seeing this, Kangxi said in a deep voice, "My lord, take heart. General Shanshituo and the others have not yet fallen to King Jin. If you give up now, the Qing Dynasty will really be over."
"Cheer up?"
Dorgon's face was full of bitterness, and he smiled bitterly and said: "Now that the situation is over and people's hearts are scattered, how can I cheer up? Are you going to fight with A Gu? In this case, the Qing Dynasty will really be over, and Qin will only be able to benefit from it.
It’s just Hao.”
Compared to Aguda and Chu Ying, Dorgon still hated Qin Hao who had a murderous hatred. Rather than killing his father's enemy, he would rather take advantage of Aguda. At least Aguda was a Manchu.
Aguda also figured out Dorgon's thoughts and dared to be so confident.
After listening to Dorgon's words, Kangxi and Qianlong were acquainted, and both saw admiration from each other's verification.
Dorgon was not weak and incompetent, but focused on the overall situation. Such a person was obviously more suitable to succeed than Chu Ying, but Aguda took advantage of his own selfish interests and forcibly supported Chu Ying to ascend the throne, which was a disaster for the country and the people.
"No, as a descendant of Aisin Gioro, I must help His Highness Dorgon." The two of them thought to themselves.
After pondering for a long time, a gleam flashed in Kangxi's eyes and he said: "Your Highness, for the Qing Dynasty, although the Qin army is a threat, it is a distant worry. Aguda is the immediate concern."
Dorgon was stunned and asked: "What do you mean by this?"
"Your Highness, in the battle of Youzhou, more than 200,000 troops were wiped out. At this time, our Qing Dynasty was at its weakest. If the Qin army really wanted to take advantage of the victory, would they miss this great opportunity?
"
Dorgon frowned and nodded: "That makes sense."
"The fact that the Qin Army did not take the initiative to attack can only mean that the Qin Army does not want to continue fighting, or is hampered by other things and cannot expand its results."
Hearing Kangxi's words, Dorgon's eyes suddenly lit up and he said in a deep voice: "Something big is bound to happen in the Central Plains, and it is related to the lifeline of the Qin army, otherwise Qin Hao would never be able to withdraw his troops."
"Yes, it is precisely because of this that for the Qing Dynasty, the Qin army is not a threat in the short term. On the contrary, Aguda poses a greater threat."
Kangxi was worthy of being the longest-reigning emperor of the Qing Dynasty. He analyzed the current situation vividly and vividly in just a few words, which gave Dorgon a sense of enlightenment as the clouds and fog cleared away.
Seeing this, Qianlong was even more categorical: "Manchuria is still under the control of His Highness, Aguda dares to violate the contract openly. When he is completely secure as regent, he will not let you go."
"That's right." Kangxi nodded.
"Then I, the King, will strike first to gain the upper hand."
Dorgon was not a weak person, and he was considering the overall situation when he retreated to Agu. Now that the Qin army could not threaten the Manchu Qing for the time being, he would naturally have to fight Agu to let him know the consequences of deceiving him.
"Xuan Ye, Hongli, you two are very good. If I win, you two will take the lead."
Looking at Dorgon who had regained his confidence, Kangxi showed a smile on his lips and said with a faint smile: "Your Highness, now that Agu is full of ambitions, it is the most relaxed moment."
Hearing this, Dorgon's eyes flashed with a trace of evil, and he said in a cold voice: "Aguda, Amma failed to kill you, I, Dorgon, will kill you."
