According to unofficial history, Dorgon and Bumbutai were childhood sweethearts. It was Huang Taiji who fought for their love and separated the lovers.
Later, at the critical moment when Dorgon was fighting for the throne, Bumbutai met Dorgon privately and begged him in tears.
The hero Dorgon was saddened by the beauty, and finally gave up his ambition to dominate, just to make the beauty smile, and supported Fulin as the emperor.
Even after Fulin proclaimed himself emperor, Dorgon and Bu Mu Butai had no connection with each other and even had an affair.
As a result, he was bumped into by Fulin, and they all held a grudge.
It was only after Dorgon's death that he was punished with a serious crime to quell his hatred.
If I could evaluate the above in just two words, it would be...
Nonsense.
There has never been any evidence that Dorgon knew Bumbutai very early.
Dorgon gave up the fight for the throne not because he loved the country more than beauty, but because he was forced by the situation and knew that he could not fight for it.
His alliance with Bumbutai was a pure exchange of political interests.
The really powerful one among them is Bumbutai.
This woman was keenly aware that neither Dorgon nor Hauge could do anything to the other, and they refused to give in to each other, so they had the chance to become her own son.
So she proposed to Dorgon in exchange for making Fulin the emperor and Dorgon the regent.
As a mature politician, Dorgon quickly agreed to this condition.
As for why Bumbutai didn’t join forces with Hauge?
Just because Hauge, who only wanted to be the emperor, also regarded Fulin as a thorn in his side and a thorn in his flesh, there was no possibility for Bumbutai to unite with him.
But this life is different.
Hauge was persuaded by Fan Ji and was clearly aware of the danger, so he decided to show his favor to Bumbutai.
Bumbutai had no idea that Hauge would extend an olive branch to him, but there was no doubt that this was great news.
At that time, Bumbutai had completed the exchange with Dorgon, and was waiting for August 14th. When the time was right, Dorgon would take action.
Hauge's move gave Bumbutai a more favorable situation.
She sold Dorgon without hesitation and informed Hauge of the process of launching it.
When Hauge learned about the situation, he was really shocked and broke into a cold sweat. Fortunately, he was not carried away and listened to Fan Ji's suggestion. Otherwise, he would have died without knowing how.
It was precisely because of Bumbutai's betrayal that Haug completed the decisive blow at the beginning of the meeting, completely disrupting Dorgon's plan and gaining enough initiative for himself.
Why did Bumbutai betray Dorgon?
Just because as Huang Taiji's pillow, Bumbutai knew very well how powerful Dorgon was.
That was someone even Huang Taiji was afraid of.
If according to the original plan, Dorgon is allowed to become the regent and take over all the power, won't their orphans and widowers have to be bullied to death by Dorgon in the future?
Now that someone has stepped forward and is willing to contain Dorgon, Bumubutai is of course happy to see it happen.
Only if Hauge can stand up to Dorgon, will the status of their mother and son be stable. Only then will they be able to find opportunities to finally take back their power.
Dorgon was an outstanding person, smart and wise, and he understood the truth of everything in almost a short period of time.
This made him extremely angry, and his eyes looking at Bumubutai were filled with murderous intent.
But unfortunately, there is no other way.
The overall situation has been decided, Fulin becomes emperor and becomes a foregone conclusion, but he still faces the threat of Hauge.
"Prince Su is dedicated to serving the country, so it would be perfect for him to be the assistant king."
In the original history, it was Dorgon and Jierhalang who became the auxiliary kings.
Jierhalang's ability to become the auxiliary king can be regarded as a compromise to the Hauge family.
But now Hauge jumped out on his own and took the overall situation into consideration, which won the favor of countless people. Jierhalang generously supported him to become the auxiliary king and take charge of the government.
After Jilharang, the vast majority of people in the two yellow flags spoke out in support of Hauge.
From a basic point of view, they are closer to Hauge.
And they also knew that although Dorgon was not made emperor, Dorgon would still be the person who had the greatest influence on government affairs for a long time to come.
It is necessary to nominate someone who can compete with Dorgon to ensure his own interests.
Dorgon didn't know that because of his own reasons, others were more united. Otherwise, he would have to vomit blood.
Because of the huge support, Hauge finally gained enough benefits in this battle for the throne.
From now on, with the status of regent, Dorgon will be completely unable to suppress him.
After Bumbutai has delivered the benefits, he still has to make sure there is no leakage.
"When the late Emperor was here, he always praised Prince Rui and entrusted the affairs of the state. With Prince Rui in our Qing Dynasty, we will be able to run smoothly in the future. Is it okay for Prince Rui and Prince Su to assist His Majesty in governing the country?"
"
Bumbutai still gave Dorgon the benefits he deserved.
Playing with Dorgon was already the limit. She didn't dare to really offend Dorgon completely, for fear of causing unpredictable consequences.
Besides, she wanted to use Hauge to contain Dorgon, and she also had the intention of using Dorgon to contain Hauge.
In the mind of an emperor, balance is the way to go.
Dorgon became increasingly depressed, but he could only accept it.
The throne is gone, and the position of the regent cannot be lost again.
Otherwise, it would be Hauge who could manipulate him at will.
At this point, the history of the Manchu Qing Dynasty began to enter a new stage, forming a subtle triangle relationship between one emperor and two kings.
It is not yet known when this relationship will be broken.
On the first day of the first lunar month of the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, Li Zicheng officially proclaimed himself emperor in Xi'an.
Among them, the most eye-catching policy was to confer Liang Yue as the King of Liang on the basis of the original five-level nobility.
This also made Liang Yue surpass everyone in Dashun, and his status was second only to Li Zicheng.
After the establishment of the political power, a major issue was placed on the desks of Dashun monarchs and ministers.
That is the issue of future strategic direction.
"Your Majesty, in my humble opinion, the greatest enemy in the world is none other than the Xia thieves. The Xia thieves are the richest and most powerful in the world. Our court wants to unify the world, so we should always pay attention to the Xia thieves' movements. If we want to win the war,
To compete with them in terms of money and food, we should send our troops south to seize all the sacred land south of the river."
As the prime minister, Niu Jinxing put forward his own opinions.
He listed the Xia Kingdom as his number one enemy and set his sights on the wealthy south.
He has been in charge of government affairs these days and knows better than anyone else how empty Dashun's foundation is.
Without enough money and food supplies, Dashun may collapse at any time.
But Li Zicheng remained silent regarding his suggestions.
Obviously, I am not very satisfied with this decision.
"Your Majesty, if you want to fight for the world, you must fight for fame. Although the old Ming Dynasty is about to collapse, it is still recognized by the people of the world. Whoever can destroy the old Ming Dynasty and replace it will immediately win the hearts of the people of the world."
Li Yan proposed a completely opposite strategic direction.
That is to go north, cross the Yellow River, capture the capital, and destroy the Ming Dynasty first.
Li Zicheng smiled instantly.
"Haha, it's a very important matter. Let's discuss it with everyone on how to decide."
How can we discuss this?
Doesn’t your expression say it all?
The ministers were slandering in their hearts, but they still had to pretend to discuss it.
"I agree with what Mr. Li said."
"What Mr. Li said is true and true."
"Destroy the Ming Dynasty, take a name, and the world will return to its heart."
