However, his emperor's charisma was enough for Huang Taiji to try anything.
"The emperor wants to use this Abuhan. With English as the foundation, we will set an example to boost the morale of our Qing Eight Banners soldiers.”Cheng Cang immediately understood.
"Not bad."
"I want to tell the soldiers of the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty and the world that in the Qing Empire, one doesn't look at one's background or connections. What matters is the merits of killing enemies for the Qing Dynasty.”
"This is the reason why our Qing Dynasty is so powerful.”Huang Taiji laughed.
"Your Majesty is wise."
All the officials said respectfully.
"Send this edict to Tudor's white flag and circulate it to all the troops of the Eight Banners.”
"Also, send an edict to Dorgon and Dordor. Within a month, I want to see the Chahar territory completely belong to the Qing Dynasty.”Huang Taiji waved his hand and shouted.
......
After all the officials left Chongzheng Hall.
Huang Taiji stared at the sand table, his eyes filled with ambition.
Soon after.
He walked to his bed.
He took out a scroll from under the mattress.
It seemed to be a painting.
The moment he picked up the scroll, Huang Taiji's cold and majestic aura disappeared.
There was only a different kind of tenderness left.
Not to mention the officials of the Qing Dynasty, not even the imperial guards and concubines had ever seen such a scene.
At this moment.
It was as if he wasn't the high and mighty Emperor of the Great Qing Dynasty, but an ordinary person.
He opened the scroll with trembling hands.
On the scroll.
There was a lifelike woman in the painting. She was young and beautiful. Huang Taiji's eyes were fixed on the woman's face. His hands trembled and he couldn't help but caress her gently. His face was filled with endless tenderness.
This woman looked extremely similar to Hai Lanzhu, but she was several times more beautiful than her. She had an extraordinary temperament, a quiet smile, a graceful figure, smooth skin, bright eyes, and white teeth. She was like a fairy that had been left behind in the mortal world. Especially her two deep dimples and a beauty mole, it was even more intoxicating.
If the eldest brother Zhu Ying, the second brother Daishan, or even their father Nurhachi were here, they would definitely recognize who this woman was.
This woman was the number one beauty of the Jurchen clan that the four of them had liked back then. Brother Dong of the Ye He tribe.
Back then, in order to win the love of Brother Dong, the four of them had fought.
"Brother Dong!"
"Seventeen years."
"Where did you go?"
"Do you know that your eighth brother has always been thinking about you and looking for you? I still clearly remember the scene when you brought me to ride a horse and whip it on the grasslands. I hugged your delicate waist and smelled the aura coming from your body. That was the happiest brother in the world!”
Huang Taiji caressed the portrait and spoke to it with a gentleness that he had never shown before.
However…
The person in the portrait did not answer him.
"You know what?"
" Everyone says that if I can get Brother Dong, I can become the overlord of this world. This is indeed true. I've gotten your heart and person, but this isn't the result I want. I want to be together for a long time, not have any news from you and be separated for more than ten years."
" I once promised you that after I win the Battle of Saerxu, no matter what the result is, I will ask my father to marry you and make you my Great Fujin."
" I didn't expect that when I returned from the war, you were already gone. Not only me, but also Fuhan, Zhu Ying, and Daishan all went crazy looking for you, but you were never heard from again."
"I know that you left for me. Perhaps, at that time, I proposed to marry you, which was the time of my death. Wasn't Zhu Ying later executed by his cruel father because of something else?”
"The words I told you back then are now coming true step by step. I have already become the true emperor of the Qing Dynasty. I will no longer be checked and controlled by others.”
"But I hate it."
"If only I was who I am now 17 years ago. Then you might not have been forced away by those people, and we would not have been separated.”
"Don't worry."
"I have already started on the path of unifying the world. All the promises I made to you back then were true. I will create a unified country. The world is so big, and only the Qing Dynasty will be able to create a country. I will make the world free from the suffering of war and the people will be able to live in peace.”
"Furthermore, during this process, I will definitely find you.”
"This time, no one can stop me from marrying you. No one can stop me from making you my queen.”
"After I find you, I will definitely make you the empress, equal to Zhezhe. What is the Guan Yu Palace? I will build a Jade Pool for you that is comparable to the Heavenly Palace.”
Huang Taiji stared at the portrait with the promise of a man, not a king.
It was hard to imagine.
Brother Dong in this portrait could actually make a cold emperor have such a gentle side.
In the harem, Huang Taiji did not seem to care about anyone.
All of this.
Perhaps only those who had truly experienced it seventeen years ago would know.
