Shunzhi received an urgent report of the loss of Xi'an on the canal, and compared with the situation in Jianghuai, Shaanxi is precarious.
Luo Keduo, the king of Pingjun, said that King Xinwang Doni was seriously ill, and he had been escorted back to Beijing for medical treatment, and now he and Li Guoying, the governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi, refused to guard Tongguan.
Since the fall of Xi'an, almost all the prefectures and counties in Shaanxi and Gansu have fallen into the hands of Wu Sangui, and it can be said that the Qing Dynasty has lost the northwest.
But the good news was that Wu Sangui had somehow withdrawn his troops and horses to Tongguan, which gave the Qing army in Tongguan a chance to breathe.
Li Guoying's recital and Luo Keduo arrived one after the other, but the claim is no different from Luo Keduo, and the two are vague about why Xi'an fell so quickly, only saying that the rebels are strong and the siege is very urgent.
Sony saw at a glance that something was wrong, no matter how many men and horses the Wu army surrounded Xi'an, Xi'an was a big city, and there were not only 5,000 horses from Xi'an General Su Bai in the city, but also more than 20,000 Manchurian soldiers under the command of Doni and Luo Keduo, Li Guoying did not have a single soldier when he retreated from Hanzhong to Xi'an, so the strength of the Xi'an defenders was still sufficient, and it was impossible to lose it so quickly, there must be some reason for this.
Shunzhi also felt that this was wrong, but he couldn't go to Tongguan to ask Luo Keduo and Li Guoying what happened in Xi'an City, so he had to temporarily suppress his anger, and he couldn't issue an order to reprimand Luo Keduo and Li Guoying, after all, they still had to stay in Tongguan now.
"The Queen Mother has ordered Jubilon to rush to Tongguan, and the emperor doesn't have to worry too much."
Seeing that the emperor's face was angry, Jie Shu was worried that the emperor's anger would not be good for his condition, so he hurriedly comforted him.
He was busy confiscating the imperial merchants' properties in Shanxi, and the treasury that had been able to run horses was replenished again, which was not much worse than leading a large army to attack the city.
Shunzhi also knew that Kupilon was an old man, much more capable than Doni and Luo Keduo, and with him to go to Tongguan to guard, he could also block Wu Sangui for a while.
Regarding the queen mother's decision to let Kubilong go to Tongguan, Shunzhi was not unhappy, but Ao Bai frowned slightly.
"Tell Luo Keduo to come back, let Li Guoying listen to the third-level army, and curb Bilong to control the governors of the five provinces of Sichuan, Shaanxi, Jin, Henan, and Gansu, and add the rank of young master."
After instructing Bahana to draw up the decree, Shunzhi was a little tired, so he ordered the driver to set off for Beijing.
When he arrived in the territory of Jingshi, more than ten miles away from Xizhimen, Shunzhi suddenly ordered the car to drive to Xishan, and did not rush back to the palace.
Jieshu, Suke Saha, and Sony were all confused, and they didn't know why the emperor refused to return to the palace, but they didn't dare to persuade each other, so they could only let people go back to the palace and let the Queen Mother know.
In addition, there is a group of princes and ministers outside the Xizhi Gate who are waiting for the holy car to return to Beijing, and they have to inform them so as not to wait.
The reason why Shunzhi refused to return to the palace was that he felt that he was very ashamed, and he had no face to see Eniang, nor did he have the face to see his concubine Dong E.
On that day, he was so proud in the palace that he wanted to go south to pacify the thieves, and even used a long sword to cut the dragon chair to show his determination, but the fact was that he returned in embarrassment, which made his already fragile heart more and more unable to bear defeat.
Or maybe his self-esteem prompted Shunzhi not to want to go back to the palace now, he didn't want to lose face in front of his mother and the woman he loved, he wanted to stay in Xishan for a few days.
No matter how much he wants to see his beloved concubine now, he forces himself to harden his heart and go to Xishan.
The queen mother, who was looking forward to her son's return in the palace, knew that the emperor ran to Xishan, was stunned for a moment, and then smiled bitterly at Su Ma and said: "Fulin has been strong since he was a child, and it was like this when Dolgon was there, and now he is in charge of his own government, and he is also Amma, and it is still like this, alas, he doesn't want to come back, so let him stay in Xishan for a while, and it's good to scatter the boredom in his heart." ” Su Ma was a little worried: "Queen Mother, if the emperor doesn't return to the palace, what will happen to this court?"
"What can I do, I, as the queen mother, will bear it for him first."
The Queen Mother sighed and slowly put Fan Wencheng's fold in her hand on the table.
Concubine Dong E, who was seriously ill, was very lonely when she heard that the emperor had gone to Xishan, but she always bit her thin lip and did not say a word.
The palace maids on the left and right could clearly see that the tears of the imperial concubine wet the pillow.
When Wu Liangfu heard that the master had not returned to the palace, he hurriedly packed a few clothes and went straight to Xishan.
The queen mother did not blame her son for ignoring military affairs and going to Xishan, and no one dared to accuse the ministers, but the affairs of the Manchu Dynasty could not be ignored just because the emperor went to Xishan.
On the second day of Shunzhi's trip to Xishan, the Empress Dowager Bumu Butai came forward to convene a meeting of the princes and ministers of the six ministries, including Prince Fusui of Xian, Prince Jieshu of Kang, Ledu of Minjun, Dorobele Manshan, Ye Bushu, Daxue Shi Ning Wanme, Fan Wencheng and other ministers of the Jingmanchurian and Han dynasties, as well as 136 officials of the six ministries, to discuss how to deal with the current predicament of the Qing Dynasty.
Sonny, Aobai, Suke Saha and other two yellow flag ministers also attended the meeting, and Shunzhi sighed slightly and didn't say anything after listening to Feiyangu say that the queen mother held a political meeting in Xishan.
The officials who received the Empress Dowager's decree were as good as before, and they never thought that this meeting was full of gunpowder at the beginning, first Ye Bushu, the fourth son of Taizong, suddenly blamed why the emperor was defeated so badly in Yangzhou, and the soldiers of the two yellow flags came back a lot, but the other flags suffered heavy losses, is it that the emperor did not treat the eight banners equally Taizong's sixth son, Gao Sai, the tenth son, Taosai and others also followed suit, asking the Queen Mother and the ministers of the Two Yellow Banners to explain why the Two White Banners collectively rebelled and surrendered to Ming.
Tao Sai, who spoke the most vehemently, was Emperor Taizong's youngest surviving son, only a year younger than Shunzhi.
However, his brother is the emperor, but he is only a third-class Zhenguo general, not even as good as a red belt, so he has long had a grudge against the Empress Dowager Bumu Butai and Shunzhi.
This time, under the instigation of the fourth brother Ye Bushu, he finally couldn't bear it, and the words not only pointed the finger at the incompetence of the ninth brother, but also pointed the finger at Bumu Butai, pointing out that she failed to stop Shunzhi from suppressing the two white flags in time a few years ago, which led to a rebellion in front of the two white flags, resulting in the tragedy of tens of thousands of soldiers.
Ning Wan, Fan Wencheng and other Han officials were stunned by the words of Emperor Taizong's sons, and Sony, Suke Saha, and they didn't guard against Ye Bushu's sudden attack, and they didn't react for a while.
The Empress Dowager Bumu Butai was also shocked, but she didn't expect Ye Bushu, who had always been low-key and interesting, to have the courage to jump out and question the emperor and her.
What are they going to do, are they going to turn against the sky?
The more Bumu Butai listened, the more annoyed he became, but when he swept away the prince Baylor who was not the two yellow flags, his heart suddenly froze, because all the people in the gang had anger on their faces.
The anger was not directed at her, but at Sony, worshipping them oshow7 t1706231537:
