The legend of Empress Xiaoduan

Chapter V

In order to show the importance that Hou Jin attached to Horqin, the Qing Taizu Nurhaci ordered Emperor Taiji to set out from the city of Hetuala (present-day old city of Xinbin County) and travel more than 300 miles north to the city of Huerqi mountain in Huifa (present-day Huinan County, Jilin Province). As soon as the team arrived, Huang Taiji ate the same as honey, and then returned to Shenyang together. The wedding of Huang Taiji and Zhe Zhe was very grand and caused a great sensation at that time.

Qing Taizu Nurhaci laughed: "Korqin will always be tied to Dajin's chariot." After the ceremony, the feast officially began. Zhe Zhe was sent to the new house, and Huang Taiji was toasted by the civil and military officials. Dai Shan hoped that Huang Taiji and Zhe Zhe would have a sweet cave flower candle night, so he automatically asked Miao to block the wine for Huang Taiji, and Huang Taiji looked at Dai Shan gratefully. The tall eaves, reflected by the lights, shone with a layer of oily brilliance, as if draped in a faint layer of flying feathers.

Zhe Zhe was very nervous and kept rubbing his dress. The door was opened and Huang Taiji walked in, and he walked step by step to Zhe Zhe. Huang Taiji sat down next to Zhe Zhe and unveiled the red scarf on Zhe Zhe's head. Zhe Zhe bowed his head shyly, and his heart beat hard. The candle flame in the new room reflected the red halo on Zhe Zhe's face. Her fingers were clenched in the palm of her hand by Huang Taiji, who gently rubbed Zhe ZheQingjun's face and leaned closer.

Huang Taiji's warm breath sprayed on his face, Zhe Zhe's face became even redder, and the two slowly leaned back on the bed. Zhe Zhe dressed Huang Taiji, and Huang Taiji said, "Zhe Zhe, we want to meet Father Khan and Eun Niang." Zhe Zhe smiled and said "Good.". Emperor Taiji took Zhe Zhe's hand and went to Menggu's bedchamber. Emperor Taiji and Zhe Zhe fell to their knees and prostrated themselves to the Qing Taizu Nurhaci and Menggu. Menggu lifted Zhe Zhe up and said, "Zhe Zhe, I have taken care of Emperor Taiji for twenty years, and from now on you will take care of him." ”

Zhe Zhe looked at Huang Taiji and said, "Please rest assured, I will definitely take good care of Huang Taiji." Qing Taizu Nurhaci said: "Emperor Taiji, political affairs are important, but the wife is also important." You can no longer spend all your time on political affairs as you used to. Emperor Taiji said, "Father Khan, you can rest assured, I will accompany Zhe Zhe more." Qing Taizu Nurhaci and Menggu nodded with satisfaction. Emperor Taiji took Zhe Zhe to Dai Shan's palace, and Dai Shan asked, "Why is it so good today, bring Zhe Zhe to see me?" ”

Huang Taiji said, "Second brother, among so many brothers, my relationship with you is the best." Now that I have a family, of course, it is the first time to bring Zhe Zhe to see you. Dai Shan gently tapped Huang Taiji's chest with his fist: "In the end, it didn't hurt you in vain." Zhe Zhe said to Dai Shan, "Second brother, although Emperor Taiji is very capable, sometimes he is too serious, so he offends people, and troubles you to mention him more when the time comes." Dai Shan smiled a little and said, "I just became a relative, and I know how to be considerate of my husband so quickly, this wife is really not wrong." Zhe Zhe's face instantly turned red.

Huang Taiji looked at Zhe Zhe, his eyes were full of gratitude, and he held Zhe Zhe's hand tightly. The two of them were walking in the imperial garden, and Zhe Zhe asked, "Emperor Taiji, what do you want to eat tonight, I order the imperial dining room to prepare." Huang Taiji said, "As long as you eat with you, it doesn't matter what you eat." Zhe Zhe smiled sweetly. While Emperor Taiji and Zhezhe were having dinner, the bodyguards came in and told Emperor Taiji that The Qing Emperor Nurhaci had important matters to discuss with him.

Zhe Zhe said: "It is important to do the right thing, I will keep these meals first, and then heat them up after you come back." Huang Taiji went out with the guards. It was not until the time of the son that the Emperor Taiji returned to the palace. Seeing Zhe Zhe asleep in a chair, he walked lightly to Zhe Zhe. Looking at Zhe Zhe's sleeping appearance, Huang Taiji smiled slightly. Just as Emperor Taiji was preparing to hug Zhe Zhe horizontally, Zhe Zhe woke up.

Zhe Zhe rubbed his eyes with his hand, smiled a little, and said, "You're back." Huang Taiji said bitterly, "Fool, why are you waiting for me here and making yourself so tired?" "I want to see for myself that you're done eating so you can sleep in peace." Huang Taiji gently scraped Zhe Zhe's nose with his fingers. After The Emperor Taiji finished eating, he bathed and changed his clothes, and slept with Zhe Zhe. On the south side of the Emperor's Taiji Residence, there is a yellow tent with a Buddha statue behind the yellow tent.

Later Jin practiced shamanism, while Mongolia practiced lamaism. Lamaism is Tibetan Buddhism that spread widely in Mongolia. There are many factions in Lamaism, among which the Yellow Sect, founded by Tsongkhapa in the Yuan Dynasty, is the most prevalent. Tsongkhapa's real name was Lobsang Dzapa, which was the name he gave when he was ordained by Shami. Emperor Yuanshun was born in the seventeenth year of the reign of Emperor Yuanshun (1357 CE) to a Buddhist family in Dzongkha. His father's name was Dalkat Andrubeng and his mother's name was Simoa.

Tsongkhapa died in the seventeenth year of Yongle (1419 AD) at the age of sixty-three, a name given to his birthplace. Zhe Zhe took a plate of silver crispy pear paste pie and placed it respectfully in front of the Buddha statue. He fell to his knees and read incessantly, his expression very solemn. After reading the sutra, Hinya gave her a cup of tea. Zhe Zhe said: "Originally, Father Khan did not have a good feeling for Lamaism, but he never interfered with what mongolia believed, but instead protected and tolerated it. ”

"I really admire my father Khan's tolerance for Mongolia." Hiniya said, "If the Khan king did not have a broad mind, how could he unify the whole of Manchuria?" Zhe Zhe nodded in agreement. Zhe Zhe is painting, this is an ink painting. The two cliffs are facing each other high, and a line of water is rushing in. In the middle of a thousand sails, the river rushes down, and there is a poem inscribed below. Huang Taiji walked in and asked What Zhe Zhe was doing? Zhe Zhe told him that he had just drawn a picture, and Huang Taiji went to the desk to take a look.

Huang Taiji knew Zhe Zhe Zhi Shu Da Li and did not expect her to be so talented. Huang Taiji asked in surprise, "Zhe Zhe, what does this painting mean?" Zhe Zhe said: "Emperor Taiji, look at the characters and know the painting, this is what the Han people call the poem in the picture, the poem in the picture." Huang Taiji said: "The Han people often say that a woman's talentlessness is virtue, in fact, what men can do, women can also do, and even better than men." ”

"Huang Taiji, I have an article I want to show you." After saying that, he ordered Hinnya to take it out. Huang Taiji saw some of his experience in reading the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and asked even more with surprise: "Zhe zhe, when did you read the Romance of the Three Kingdoms?" Suddenly, Huang Taiji felt that Zhe Zhe was like a deep pool of water, unfathomable. Zhe Zhe said: "When I was in Korqin, my husband taught me. ”

Huang Taiji said: "Father Khan liked the Romance of the Three Kingdoms very much, and always said that it was a good book. Not only can you know what happened during the Three Kingdoms period, but you can also learn a lot. Zhe Zhe said: "When I was in Korqin, my husband told me that reading history can make people wise. Throughout the ages, people who have achieved karma have been addicted to books. Father Khan liked to read the Romance of the Three Kingdoms and would never take it as a hobby. Huang Taiji nodded and said, "Father Khan said that he was reading history, and he admired Cao Cao's tenacious entrepreneurial spirit, and even more admired Cao Cao's extraordinary courage." ”

He liked Zhuge Liang's outstanding plans, and even more liked Zhuge Liang's loyalty to the Shu kingdom. Father Khan said that the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is still a military book, and the tactics and strategies in it are all impressive. Zhe Zhe smiled and said, "Emperor Taiji, I know that you have always been respectful to your father Khan, and you are even more praised for your father Khan's far-sightedness." Huang Taiji shook Zhe Zhe's hand and said, "Father Khan, he is indeed very good, and I worship him as he should be." ”

Zhe Zhe said: "In fact, Father Khan liked to read the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and there were deeper reasons. Both Cao Cao and Liu Bei are heroes who can create history, and they are all born in response to heaven. Emperor Taiji sighed for a moment and said, "You mean that although Daming has a vast territory and a large number of soldiers, in fact, the gold and jade are outside and defeated." Today's Daming is like a fast-falling chariot, which will soon perish. Zhe Zhe nodded.

Huang Taiji looked deeply at Zhe Zhe and said, "Our husband and wife really have a sharp mind. Huang Taiji's eyes showed envy and said, "Zhezhe, if you are a boy, the Khan of Horqin is not a father, but you." "My daughter's family is good, I don't have to think about or do a lot of things, and I will have fewer white hairs." Zhe Zhe was reading a book, and Huang Taiji hurried in.

Zhe Zhe asked nervously, "What's wrong?" Is something happening? Emperor Taiji said: "Father Khan received a letter from His father, saying that Lin Dan Khan attacked Korqin with an army. Zhe Zhe said: "Lin Dan Khan thought that Chahar was the most powerful tribe in Mongolia, and converted to the Red Sect, which was opposed to the Yellow Sect. As a result, the Mongols were divided and continued to conquer each other. For so many years, Lin Dan Khan had wanted to control Korqin. Emperor Taiji said, "Father Khan ordered me to lead the Eight Banners of Soldiers and Horses to aid Horqin." ”

Huang Taiji shook Zhe Zhe's hand and said, "Zhe Zhe, you can rest assured, I will definitely drive Lin Dan Khan out of Horqin." Zhe Zhe smiled slightly and said, "I know you will definitely be able to do it." Emperor Taiji told Zhe Zhe that the Qing Taizu Nurhaci had awarded Manggusi a third-class general and classified him as the Yellow Banner, and Zhe Zhe was overjoyed. Lin Dan Khan was the chief of Chahar, who died in 1603 when his grandfather Buyan Xuechan Khan died.

Lin Dan Khan was the eldest grandson of Buyan Xuechan Khan, and due to the early death of his father Mang, he was only thirteen years old at the time and succeeded to the Khanate in 1604. Lin Dan Khan used Tibetan Buddhism to further expand his influence. In 1618, when Lin Dan Khan was twenty-six years old, the Red Sect sent Sharba Hutuktu to Mongolia to find his supporters. Lin Dan Khan was impressed by the spells of Sharba Hutuktu and greeted him solemnly at Chahanhot.

Lin Dan Khan made Sharba Hutuktu a teacher and received the Esoteric Tantric Empowerment. In order to gain the trust of Lin Dan Khan, Sharba Hutuktu specially took from Mount Wutai the Golden Buddha of Mahakala, which was cast with thousands of gold by Ba Si Pa during the time of Kublai Khan. Lin Dan Khan built a golden-capped white temple and enshrined the Golden Buddha in it. Red Buddhism is one of the four great traditions of Tibetan Buddhism, formed in the 11th century AD. The Red Religion has no monasteries, no scattered organizations, no systematic teachings, and no complete sangha system.

After Lin Dan Khan changed to the Red Religion, it greatly affected the former image and reputation. The Khans of the 30,000 households in northern Khalkha and the right wing, Jinong, Noyan, and Taiji, were gradually alienated from Lin Dan Khan. Emperor Taiji used his military talents, coupled with Hou Jin's strong soldiers, to successfully drive Lin Dan Khan out of Horqin. When the news reached Shenyang, Zhe Zhe was overjoyed. Zhe Zhe knelt down in front of the Buddha statue and thanked it for its blessing.

After Huang Taiji returned to Shenyang, he first went to see Qing Taizu NurHaci, who praised Huang Taiji. Huang Taiji returned to the palace, unable to suppress the impulse in his heart, and accelerated his pace to go to Zhe Zhe and hug her. Huang Taiji said, "Zhe Zhe, I'm back." Zhe Zhe said, "Emperor Taiji, welcome back." Emperor Taiji pushed Zhe Zhe away. Zhe Zhe said, "Emperor Taiji, thank you for driving Lin Dan Khan away and relieving Horqin of a crisis." ”

Huang Taiji said, "First, Horqin is an ally of Dajin, and second, Horqin is your home, and I have the responsibility to do so." Xingniya said, "Brother Baba, the young lady knows that you are coming back today, so she ordered the imperial dining room to cook a lot of dishes for you." Huang Taiji smiled and said, "Since that's the case, I'm going to eat enough tonight." On the bed, Huang Taiji hugged Zhe Zhe, and Huang Taiji said, "Zhe Zhe, is there enough stuff?" If that's not enough, I'll let the Father Khan reward us. ”

Zhe Zhe: "Enough is enough, besides, I am not used to living a luxurious life." The Han people have a saying that sorrow can rejuvenate the country, and Yiyu can die, which is the most reasonable saying. Moreover, life here is much better than in Korqin. "In the future, if you need to tell me, don't be afraid of being called extravagant by others." Zhe Zhe said that he knew that the two fell asleep together. Qing Taizu Nurhaci was in Menggu's palace, and Qing Taizu Nurhaci said: "Today's Emperor Taiji is really becoming more and more dazzling. ”

Meng Gu said: "The concubine is worried that the Emperor Taiji is too sharp and will be like Cao Zhi. Qing Taizu Nurhaci shook Menggu's hand and said, "Menggu, you don't have to worry too much." With the wisdom and martial arts of Emperor Taiji, no one would hurt him, and he still had Daishan by his side. "The Khan King is right, the concubine should have confidence in the Emperor Taiji." Since becoming famous in a war with Lin Dan Khan, the Qing Taizu Nurhaci began to let the Emperor Taiji lead the war, and the Emperor Taiji did not disappoint the Qing Taizu Nurhaci.

Huang Taiji was closing his eyes and recuperating, and Zhe Zhe came to Huang Taiji with refreshments. Zhe Zhe told Huang Taiji to eat pastries, and Huang Taiji ate pastries while drinking milk tea. Zhe Zhe touched Huang Taiji's face with his hand and said painfully, "You are much thinner than before." Emperor Taiji took Down Zhe Zhe's hand, held it in his hand, and said, "How can a marching army fight without being thin?" But now that I'm back, eat more, people will naturally gain weight. Zhe Zhe smiled and said "Good.".

Zhe Zhe was practicing calligraphy, and Huang Taiji sat by to accompany her. A guard walked in and handed a letter to Zhe Zhe. After Zhe Zhe opened the letter and looked at it, his face immediately turned white, and the letter paper was crushed between his fingers. Huang Taiji walked over to Zhe Zhe, clasped her hand tightly, and asked, "What happened?" Zhe Zhe looked sideways at Huang Taiji, his eyes showing sadness. Huang Taiji doubtfully broke Zhe Zhe's hand and brought the letter over. The letter was settled on Zhaisang, and Huang Taiji took a cursory look at the content of the letter, and it turned out that Manggusi had passed away. Zhe Zhe fainted on the ground in a moment of excessive excitement, and Huang Taiji hugged her and hurriedly ordered Xingni Ya Xuantai Doctor.

Huang Taiji asked Taiyi about Zhe Zhe, and Tai Yi said that Zhe Zhe would only faint on the ground after a momentary fire attack, and that he would be fine if he rested. Huang Taiji thanked Taiyi, and he asked Xingniya to send Taiyi out. Zhe Zhe lay on his side on the bed, his hands tightly clutching the quilt, crying very sadly. Huang Taiji went to the edge of the bed and sat down, and helped Zhe Zhe up and hugged her. Zhe Zhe leaned into the arms of The Emperor Taiji, and the tears on Zhe Zhe's face crisscrossed.

Huang Taiji didn't speak, he just wanted to give Zhe Zhe a warm embrace when he was sad. Huang Taiji and Xingniya walked to the bedroom together, and Huang Taiji slowly helped Zhe Zhe sit up and let Zhe Zhe lean against the head of the bed. Emperor Taiji said, "Zhe Zhe, I specially ordered the imperial dining room to boil black chicken ginseng soup, you must drink more." Huang Taiji poured the soup into the bowl, and then took the bowl to Zhe Zhe, who drank all the soup.

Huang Taiji said, "What do you see as thin as you are?" Zhe Zhe looked at Huang Taiji and didn't say anything. Emperor Taiji put his arm around Zhe Zhe's shoulder and said, "This is not the Chu Palace, I don't need your waist to become thinner." I want you to get fat, just like Yang Guifei. Zhe Zhe pressed on Huang Taiji's chest and said with tears in his eyes: "Huang Taiji, for you, I will make myself better." Emperor Taiji and Zhe Zhe were waiting outside the palace, and several people and horses came in the distance, led by Zhaisang.

Zhaisang got off his horse, and ZheZhe quickly stepped forward to hug him, calling out "big brother" and then crying. Huang Taiji walked over to Zhe Zhe and said, "Zhe Zhe, the eldest brother must be very tired when he comes to Shenyang from Horqin, and we should let him rest." Zhe Zhe pushed Zhai Sang away, wiped his tears with his hand, smiled a little, and said, "You don't say it, I almost forgot." "Just go back to the palace with Zhaisang." Zhe Zhe asked Zhaisang, was Manggus hard when he died? Zhaisang said that Manggus died peacefully.

Zhe Zhe asked, "Does Father have any wishes?" Zhaisang said: "Father had three wishes before he died, the first wish was to change 'Haribraga Mountain' to 'Harubala Mountain', the second wish was to build the mausoleum in the east of Hazelnut Ridge in the Horqin Territory, and the third wish was not to have a piece of cloth in the coffin. Zhe Zhe said, "Elder brother, Father is both the leader of Korqin and the abbot of Dajin." Don't you think it's ridiculous to go under the Yellow Spring without any clothes? ”

Zhaisang insisted: "This is My Father's wish, and we as children must fulfill it for him." Zhe Zhe and Zhai Sang could not argue, and the more noisy they became, the more noisy they became. Huang Taiji came out to persuade him to fight, and took a compromise approach, putting a pair of shorts on Manggusi for burial, and the two sides had no opinion. Zhe Zhe went to Zhaisang's room to look for him, and Zhe Zhe said apologetically: "Big brother, I'm sorry." I didn't mean to argue with you, I just didn't want Daddy to die too ugly. ”

Zhaisang shook Zhezhe's hand and said, "Sister, you don't have to say it, I understand." Zhe Zhe asked, "How is Eun Niang?" "Every day Eun Niang doesn't think about tea and dinner, washes her face with tears, eun Niang and Daddy have been husband and wife for more than ten years, and the saddest thing is her." Zhe Zhe said: "Big brother, now Eun Niang needs to have relatives around, and you and the second brother will accompany her more." Zhaisang nodded and said, "You can rest assured, we will." "Qing Taizu Nurhaci knew that Manggusi had died and felt very sad. In recognition of Manggus's contributions to Korqin and Houjin, he was posthumously honored as the Prince of Heshuofu and The Uya clan was given the title of Princess Heshuofu.

Zhaisang stayed in Shenyang for a few days and decided to return to Horqin, and Zhezhe and Huang Taiji went to see them off. Zhe Zhe struggled to get out of the pain of losing his father, and Meng Gu fell ill again. This time, the condition was much more serious than the last time, and Qing Taizu Nurhaci was very worried. In addition to handling political affairs, Huang Taiji stayed in Menggu's palace to take care of her. Zhe Zhe said, "Emperor Taiji, on weekdays, you have worked hard enough to handle political affairs, and Lady Eun will let me take care of it." ”

Huang Taiji said, "No, I can still survive." Zhe Zhe shook Huang Taiji's hand and said seriously, "He also said that he could survive, how tired you looked." Huang Taiji wanted to say something more, and Zhe Zhe had already raised his face: "If you don't take care of your body anymore, I will be angry." Seeing Zhe Zhe's appearance, Huang Taiji had no choice but to agree to come down. Zhe Zhe said he knew. Zhe Zhe freshened up and boiled soup for Menggu and fed medicine, and took very meticulous care.

Menggu said, "Zhe zhe, you have worked hard these past few days." Zhe Zhe said, "Mother Eun, don't say that. As a daughter-in-law, I should take care of my in-laws. Menggu sighed and said, "Last time I was lucky, the wind chill was cured." I felt that this time, I would not be so lucky. Zhe Zhe shook Meng Gu's hand and said nervously, "Last time I was able to heal, this time I can also heal." Zhe Zhe sat in a chair in a daze, and Huang Taiji asked her what was wrong?

Zhe Zhe said, "Emperor Taiji, I am very worried that Eun Niang will not be able to pass this hurdle." Huang Taiji said excitedly, "No, Eun Niang, she is so good, God will not take her away so quickly." "I hope not, but..." Huang Taiji said, "No, but all in all, Lady Eun, she will be fine." Qing Taizu Nurhaci went to Menggu's palace to see her, and the two recalled the past together. Menggu said, "King Khan, you have to promise your concubines that even if you don't have a concubine by your side, you have to take care of yourself." ”

Qing Taizu Nurhaci shed tears and said, "Menggu, in addition to Hahana Zaqing, you are the most important woman of this king, and this king will never forget you for the rest of his life." "After saying that, I hugged Menggu. Huang Taiji and Zhe Zhe knelt down beside the bed, and Qing Taizu Nurhaci stood behind them. Menggu held the hands of Qing Taizu Nurhaci and Huang Taiji, smiled at Zhe zhe, and closed his eyes. Huang Taiji ran outside and cried loudly, and Zhe Zhe also ran out.

Huang Taiji fell to his knees and cried bitterly, and Zhe Zhe also fell to his knees and hugged Huang Taiji. The two hugged each other tightly, like two children who had been infinitely wronged. Zhe Zhe felt the helplessness and fear of Huang Taiji, and Zhe Zhe comforted him: "Huang Taiji, I will always accompany you, and I will never leave you one step." "Qing Taizu Nurhaci lost his beloved Menggu, and his heart was very sad. He ordered a thick burial and demanded that alcohol and meat be refrained from drinking alcohol or eating meat for a month.
