The winter in the capital seems no different from that in Liaodong.
The same cold air is crushing, the same cold wind is as sharp as a knife.
What's even worse in the capital is that when strong winds blow up, the sky is filled with sand.
The flying sand and dust are like a devil roaring. The sky is dark and the earth is dark, and the scorching sun is escaping, making people feel like they are in hell.
Dorgon nestled in the chair in front of the window. He only opened the window a crack and was immediately choked by the sand and dust that came in from the outside. He kept coughing.
He reluctantly closed the window again, but his thoughts were dancing randomly like the wind and sand outside the room.
"Did Zuo Menggeng really leave Jinan to go on a tour?"
"Our spies have seen it cordially. Zuo Menggeng has indeed gone south."
"Where did he go?"
"Your Majesty Mingjian, our spies have suffered a lot of losses recently, and a lot of information can't be found."
"The leader of North Korea is old, and he must be less energetic in handling government affairs. After you go back, you must help him well and make sure nothing goes wrong. As for the ghosts and monsters, they must be put down as soon as possible so that he can
Wang Anxin."
Dorgon was very satisfied with his attitude.
After all, North Korea is the rear area of Liaodong and is related to the Longxing land of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.
There was a bang on the door, and the fierce sand and dust pushed a figure rushing in.
However, more than half a year has passed, and the border between the two sides has remained calm as usual.
"North Korea has long sworn to be a minister of the Great Kingdom, and will remain unswervingly committed. I also ask the regent to take pity on my country, which is suffering so much, and to send down the power of heaven to relieve my country's difficulties."
Unprecedented joy burst out in his heart, almost causing Prince Zhaoxian to show up on the spot.
Prince Zhaoxian did not rashly distance himself from the relationship with Lord Fenglin.
In fact, his intimacy with Lord Fenglin has long been seen by others. Blindly extracting it at this time will arouse Dorgon's suspicion.
Being able to break away from his status as a proton and return to the country without any restrictions from now on was something Prince Sohyeon had longed for for who knows how long.
Prince Zhaoxian hurriedly knelt on the ground, his expression sincere and earnest.
However, an embarrassing situation occurred for the Manchus.
Sure enough, Dorgon's lightning-like eyes softened a lot when he heard him defending Lord Fenglin.
"Your Majesty, please prepare yourself and leave for home immediately."
The visitor quickly reported.
Fortunately, years of rough life have already tempered his will, allowing him to maintain his composure well.
Is that Zuo Mengeng really not interested in the world?
"After receiving the decree, I will do my best to relieve the regent's worries."
However, North Korea's affairs also need to be dealt with.
But despite the criticism, problems in North Korea must be solved as soon as possible.
"The south should have gotten the news, but there is no movement. But if this continues, I'm afraid the south will benefit."
As a hostage, he followed the late Qing Dynasty to the capital. He still knew nothing about what was happening in North Korea.
"What's going on to the south?"
Sending Prince Zhaoxian back to the country to deal with the civil strife in North Korea was only Dorgon's first step.
"The regent is wise and wise, but there must be some unscrupulous villain who interferes with it. My brother has always been humble and kind-hearted, but timid and afraid of getting into trouble. He neither dares nor has the ability to do such an outrageous thing."
Even though the empire often has military exercises, they never cross the border.
"Reporting to your lord, there is an urgent report from North Korea. Lord Bonglin launched a coup with the intention of regicide. After the failure, he retreated to Mount Kumgang, gathered countless refugees, and defeated the government and army several times. The leader of North Korea was unable to suppress it and asked for support."
Therefore, Dorgon never had a good night's sleep in these days. Even in his sleep, he was worried about the empire coming.
Dorgon felt a little angry.
As a mature politician, Dorgon has a very keen sense of smell.
Although the two brothers had been secretly discussing how to leave the Manchus and return to China when they were hostages, they did not expect that Lord Fenglin would dare to do this.
Now that he was finally released, he didn't dare to delay for a moment. He packed his luggage that day and set off from the capital as quickly as possible.
Prince Zhaoxian was stunned in an instant and received a huge shock.
He was always worried about when the empire would suddenly attack.
And with him as the crown prince around, Lord Fenglin's brand name is no longer attractive.
Dorgon's eyebrows narrowed and he immediately thought of something.
Hearing this was enough for him.
Dorgon was puzzled when he heard that at such an important time, Zuo Menggeng actually left the center and went to inspect local areas.
Dorgon was a little confused as to what Zuo Mengeng's plan was.
"Please give me your instructions, the Regent."
He was completely frightened when he learned what Lord Fenglin did.
After much thought, he sent someone to invite Prince Zhaoxian to come over.
Dorgon waved his hand and asked those who were lying on the ground to apologize.
As long as he stands by Li Jian honestly after returning, then the rumors from the outside world will definitely be self-defeating.
"There will be no trouble at other times, but at this time trouble will occur. The leader of North Korea cannot escape the blame."
Of course Dorgon could not agree to his request.
Anyway, he is trapped in the capital and does not understand the situation in the country. Even if he is wrong, it will not be a big problem.
Dorgon asked him to return home in the hope of using his identity to stabilize the situation.
He always feels that there seems to be some kind of crisis in the current situation.
"Your Majesty, do you know that your younger brother, Lord Fenglin, actually committed a treasonous act, intending to commit regicide, kill his father, and commit suicide?"
The war in the northwest, the chaos in Korea, and the peaceful empire all seemed very strange.
In particular, the empire has deployed hundreds of thousands of troops at the southern end of the peninsula, and is always watching. Once it crosses the border, it will definitely be a disaster for the northern part of the peninsula.
Then there is only one way.
Why did Dorgon come to find me?
Prince Zhaoxian's mind was spinning rapidly, and he immediately had a way to deal with it.
Regarding the chaos in North Korea, Dorgon could not spare any extra troops to support him.
Although the Manchus and the Empire signed a non-aggression treaty, he never believed in the effectiveness of the treaty.
"Send an order to Prince Ying and Prince Yu to speed up their march. Li Zicheng must be eliminated and the northwest must be pacified within three months at the latest."
Prince Zhaoxian understood.
After all, he is the legal heir to the North Korean throne.
"The situation in North Korea is absolutely true. It seems that there are people in the south who are plotting something evil and intending to split the mood between you father and son."
In particular, he had learned from the Han landlords that although the empire had not marched into the capital and swept across the Central Plains, it had moved very quickly in the south of the Yangtze River and had already captured southern Zhili, Zhejiang, Fujian, Jiangxi, Guangdong and other provinces.
However, these places were far away from all forces and fell into the hands of the empire very easily.
This is enough to show that Zuo Mengeng does not seem to have any ideas about the world as the outside world seems to think.
But what Zuo Menggen would do, he still couldn't figure out for a while.
The only thing that can be done is to hope that Azig and Duduo will eliminate Li Zicheng as quickly as possible, and then concentrate all their energy on dealing with the empire.
