Today was the first time Huang Taiji and Yu 'er went to court after their marriage. The three-day holiday for the wedding ended very quickly. Huang Taiji went to Zhezhe's courtyard with Yu 'er after Yu' er helped him change and wash up. Although it was only a little past midnight, Zhezhe had been waiting in the courtyard for a long time. When he saw Huang Taiji and Yu 'er coming over, he ordered people to prepare breakfast. The three of them had breakfast in Zhezhe's room. Huang Taiji gave a few instructions and left for the morning court. He left Zhezhe to tell Yu 'er about the relationship between the Manchu nobles and some things in the residence. Yu' er listened carefully. The atmosphere between the aunt and niece seemed to have restored the relationship before Yu 'er entered the residence.
At this moment, the atmosphere in the court was far less peaceful than in Zhezhe's courtyard. Nurhachi looked at the officials and his son who were arguing about moving the capital and subconsciously rubbed his forehead. He knew that moving the capital would definitely attract different opinions from everyone, but he did not expect them to openly oppose each other in the court. Although some officials with different political views often argued, as a superior, he was happy to see this. He even secretly added fuel to the fire for the sake of balance. But now, they were openly confronting each other. Even his sons were attacking each other and forming cliques. He could not help but be stunned. Nurhachi looked at the people below who were still keen on attacking each other and tearing each other down. A sense of powerlessness welled up in his heart. He thought that if this was a few years ago, he might have killed one person as a warning to the others like how he had dealt with Chu Ying. But now, even if he was unwilling to admit it, he knew that he was getting old. Whether it was his subjects or his sons, he could not be as ruthless as before. Perhaps this was why they felt that they were getting old, so they dared to scheme for their own interests without any scruples.
Thinking of this, Nurhachi couldn't hide the sadness in his eyes. He swept his gaze across the crowd and stopped on the silent Daishan, Huang Taiji, and Dorgon for a moment. Then, he moved his gaze away and stopped on Mangguertai and Abatai, who were quarreling the fiercest. He coughed twice heavily and everyone came back to their senses from the quarrel. He realized that he was in the Imperial Court and that the cough just now was probably the Khan's way of expressing his displeasure. Thinking that their momentary carelessness might have displeased this hero who had been galloping outside the Great Wall for many years, everyone's fervent hearts couldn't help but turn completely cold. Thinking that Nurhachi had been so cruel to his own son, everyone couldn't help but kneel down and beg for forgiveness while secretly blaming themselves for their carelessness. They clearly knew the Khan's temper, but they still dared to be presumptuous in the court. It seemed that they had been living a peaceful life for a long time. Dai Shan, Huang Taiji, and Duo Ergun, who had been silent all this while, also knelt down when they saw everyone kneel down, but they still did not say a word.
Nurhachi looked at the people kneeling below him, and the frustration in his heart intensified. His lips opened and closed, but in the end, he did not say anything. He waved his hand impatiently, and the chamberlain beside him immediately dismissed everyone. Then, he carefully waited for Nurhachi to leave. The courtiers who were kneeling on the ground were so frightened by Nurhachi's silence that their clothes were drenched. Now that they saw that Nurhachi was angry but did not punish them as if they had been pardoned, they secretly heaved a sigh of relief. When Nurhachi really left, they immediately recovered their strength. They got up from the ground and glared at their political enemies as if they wanted to continue the show just now. However, they turned their heads to look at Huang Taiji's dark face and Dorgon's angry eyes. Only then did they remember that the two most favored Baylors of the Great Khan were still here, and they resentfully bowed to the Baylors and left.
Nurhachi came out of the imperial court with a stifled feeling in his heart. He vented his anger on the servants beside him before he managed to calm down. He looked at Cao Shixuan, who was instructing the servants to clean up the mess caused by his anger, and asked,"Could it be that I'm really old and they're not afraid of me? They actually dared to be so impudent in front of me. Even my good sons are as disrespectful as they are. Could it be that all these years of cultivation had been in vain?”When Cao Shixuan heard Nurhachi's words, he understood that Nurhachi's anger was not directed at the officials, but at the Baylors. He sighed to himself, gripped the sword at his waist, and dismissed the servants in the room.
"Great Khan, you don't have to worry. In this servant's opinion, the Baylors are sharing your worries, that's why they spoke their opinions.”"Sigh, World Selection, I always thought that you were the only one who dared to tell me the truth in all of Dajin. Why are you even starting to brush me off now? How are they sharing my worries? They're clearly plotting for themselves.”The more Nurhachi spoke, the angrier he became. Seeing that Nurhachi was really angry, Cao Shixuan quickly helped him sit down at the table and poured him a cup of tea. When he looked up and saw that Nurhachi's expression had eased up, he said again,"Great Khan, you can't think that way. Look, don't you think that the Eldest, Fourth, and Fourteenth Beiluo have yet to speak? Your servant, look, they still feel sorry for you. They will definitely support your decision.”"Sigh, you only saw the surface, but I saw everything.”Nurhachi put down the teacup in his hand, sighed, and continued the words of the World Chosen." Daishan is used to not having his own opinions. He's not supporting me. He's just afraid of causing trouble for himself. As for Dorgon, although I don't know what Huang Taiji told him, it seems that he still hates me. It's true that I gave him hope first, but I snuffed it out. I didn't see him and only let Huang Taiji explain to him. World Selection, who do you think I should hand over the foundation of Dajin to after a hundred years?”Cao Shixuan had been listening attentively to Nurhachi's words, but when Nurhachi finished speaking, he could only kneel and kowtow. Nurhachi's favor and trust in him was one thing, but as an official, sometimes knowing too much was like having a knife hanging over his head. At this moment, he did not know how to react at all. He could only keep saying auspicious words of flattery and comfort.
On the other side, Huang Taiji returned to his residence. He didn't go to anyone's courtyard but went straight to the study. Once he entered the study, the person behind him immediately closed the door and stood respectfully in front of the table. Huang Taiji ignored the person who came and thought for a while before saying,"Pass down the order. The matter of moving the capital ends here. Father is determined to move the capital, and from the looks of it, moving the capital is imperative. Also, tell them to keep their tails clean and not cause trouble for me. Also, send someone to check on Ah Min's battle, but don't let him know.”With that, he waved his hand and the person at the desk bowed respectfully before leaving. When only Huang Taiji was left in the study, he took the book off the desk and placed a letter on it.
