Huang Taiji brought Dorgon into the study and saw that besides Ah Min sitting quietly drinking tea, the rest of the people who came with him were anxiously pacing in the study, looking anxious and uneasy. Huang Taiji walked into the study and greeted them one by one. He was not in a hurry to ask them why they were here. Instead, he closed the study door and discussed the recent training of the soldiers and Eight Banners soldiers with Ah Min and Dorgon. He did not pay any attention to the old officials around him.
After the three of them had discussed for more than an hour, they seemed to have just remembered the old officials sitting in the study. They then asked,"All of you are civil officials. Why have you come to my residence with Amin Baylor? Could it be that something big has happened?”After saying that, he seemed to be very happy to solve the problem for everyone and quietly waited for everyone's answer. "Fourth Prince, I came here to ask you about the situation of the military camp outside the city. I haven't been to the military camp since I moved the capital. I heard that there will be new soldiers, so I came to ask you about the situation. Now that I have finished asking about the situation, I should take my leave.”With that, he cupped his hands and left. Huang Taiji nodded and waited for Ah Min to leave. He was no longer in a hurry to speak. He only watched as everyone sat down, one hand knocking on the table from time to time. That sound undoubtedly made everyone feel more and more uncertain. The words that they originally wanted to say were stuck in their mouths because of Ah Min's departure. It was as uncomfortable as a fishbone stuck in their throats. Finally, someone seemed to be unable to endure this discomfort anymore and was about to speak under the pressure.
"14th brother, you've been out for a long time. I reckon 15th brother is already waiting for you outside. You two should go back early. If there's nothing else, go to the barracks and take a look.”"Yes, brother will remember." With that, he cupped his hands towards Huang Taiji and the other ministers and walked out.
Dorgon's departure made the already silent atmosphere even quieter. The ministers once again felt pressured in front of this usually calm and reserved prince. Huang Taiji didn't wait for everyone to speak and said,"Sirs, you are here for the matter of Ma attacking Ning Yuan, right?”When everyone heard Huang Taiji's words, they couldn't help but curse. This Fourth Prince knew the purpose of their arrival, but he played everyone. Although they were dissatisfied in their hearts, they did not dare to have any objections on the surface. He respectfully listened to Huang Taiji continue. "Milords, are you here today to ask me to help persuade Ama not to attack Ning Yuan?”"Fourth Prince, yes, we think that Ning Yuan can't be beaten.”"Why can't we beat Ning Yuan? Lord, please tell us and teach us how to fight. Huang Taiji is willing to hear the details.”Everyone saw that Huang Taiji was very unhappy and could not help but retreat. However, when they thought of their purpose of coming, a slightly older person had no choice but to bite the bullet and stand up,"Fourth Prince, Ningyuan City is easy to defend but difficult to attack. This time, our Great Jinqian has already let the Ming army know that we have plans to enter the pass southward. At this time, our Great Jingang has moved the capital and nothing has been decided. There is no chance of winning if we attack Ningyuan now. Therefore, this old minister pleads Fourth Prince to persuade the Great Khan to withdraw his order.”After saying that, he knelt down. When the other officials saw this, they followed suit and knelt down. They said in unison,"Fourth Prince, please persuade the Great Khan to withdraw his orders.”Huang Taiji had an expression of not daring to admit it as he walked around the table to help the ministers. "Milords, please rise. How would Huang Taiji dare to bow to you? I know that all the ministers are thinking for our Dajin, but in terms of seniority, there is my second brother. In terms of favor, there are also my thirteenth and fourteenth brothers. No matter what, it is not my turn to persuade Ama. I am afraid that even if I want to persuade, Ama will not listen.”None of the ministers dared to let Huang Taiji personally help them. Now that they heard Huang Taiji say this, they felt even more hopeful,"Fourth Prince, you are too humble. The Eldest Prince has already claimed to be ill for many days because of this. The Thirteenth and Fourteenth Prince are too young, only you are suitable to step forward.”"Since all the ministers think so highly of me, Huang Taiji, then listen to me and don't try to persuade Ma.”Huang Taiji, until this time, really faced the ministers,"The things that Ama has decided, there is rarely room for change. The matter of moving the capital is the best example." Besides, Ning Yuan is at the key location, and we must pass through it. Now that we have just moved the capital, the Ming army will never expect us to attack Ning Yuan at this time. It seems that we have a chance of winning. My lords, you should remember that after I wrote the Seven Great Hatred, I was able to make a name for myself on the grasslands with just a few people. Why would I hesitate over Ningyuan City now?”After saying that, he looked at the few lords who seemed to have something to say and continued," Lords, you should go back first. The Battle of Ningyuan is inevitable. This is related to our plan to enter the pass. Lords, don't persuade me anymore. It's better to discuss it and help stabilize the court when Ama goes out." "After that, he called for a servant and sent the ministers out. He also asked if Dorgon and Tudor had returned. After everything was over, he led his guards to the military camp outside the city.
In the following period of time, Huang Taiji spent almost all of his time in the military camp. He knew that Nurhachi would most likely go on a personal expedition this time, so he strengthened the training of the white flag while waiting for Nurhachi's orders.
