Chapter 694 Assassination of Azige

After Dorgon and Dodo's death, Ajige became the leader of the two white flag nobles.

Now that he is commanding 300,000 powerful soldiers, he is entrenched in Xuzhou. Shunzhi wants to assassinate him in Ajige's base camp, the difficulty of being able to imagine.

This is not only the question of how to assassinate Ajige, but also how to deal with the aftermath.

After all, as soon as Ajige died, the 300,000 army lost control. Whether they would rebel or surrender to the Nanming, it was unknown whether they would rebel or surrender to the Nanming. Whether it was rebellion or surrender to the Nanming, it was unbearable for the Qing court.

Therefore, Sony's words still make sense.

The people who assassinated Ajig first were able to approach Ajig and have the ability to assassinate Ajig. Secondly, they also needed to have enough prestige to suppress the 300,000 army and try to avoid unrest.

Shunzhi glanced at everyone, and when he saw that several people avoided his gaze, he couldn't help but be angry, "Didn't he usually say that he is willing to devote himself to the Qing Dynasty and me to the death? Why, he doesn't say anything now."

Jirgalang raised his head and said seriously: "Your Majesty, it's not that the slave is unwilling to go, but that the slave is over fifty years old and is not Ajige's opponent." After saying that, he looked at Mandahai and Luke Dehun, "Prince Xun and Prince Chengshun are young and healthy, and they are the princes in charge of politics, so they can take on this important task!"

When Mandahai and Luke Dehun heard this, he suddenly looked up. Mandahai hurriedly said, "Emperor, the inside story of Dorgon's death has long been heard by Ajige. He wanted to kill his slaves, and the people of the two white flags also hated him, and the slaves could not go."

Shunzhi looked angry and looked at Luke Dehun again. Seeing that Prince Luke Dehun of Chengshun made sweat on his forehead and his eyes rolled around, he said anxiously: "Your Majesty, I have someone recommended him, and I will definitely be able to take on this great task."

Shunzhi was disappointed with these three people and said coldly: "Who?"

Lukede said: "Yue Le!"

"Yue Le?" Shunzhi frowned, "Why is it him!"

Jirgalang, Mandahai's eyes lit up.

Mandahai hurriedly said, "Yuele is Boluo's younger brother, and Boluo was once a clerk of Dorgon in the royal family. Yuele goes to win Ajige's trust."

Shunzhi nodded, then said: "Does Yue Le have any complaints after the Battle of Gaizhou?"

After the Battle of Gaizhou, in order to preserve Oboi and Shunzhi's prestige, Shunzhi, Jiergalang and others took Yue Le to the punishment.

This made Shunzhi a little worried, fearing that Yue Le would not assassinate Ajige or turn against him at the last minute.

Yue Le once had a strong relationship with Dorgon's faction. When he went to meet Ajige, he could indeed relax Ajige's vigilance and have the opportunity to assassinate. Yue Le was one of the five major political kings. After Ajige's death, with him in Xuzhou, he might be able to suppress 300,000 Qing troops and stabilize the situation.

But the key is whether Yue Le will help Shunzhi assassinate Ajige.

Seeing everyone pondering, Sony, who was kneeling on the ground, spoke again, "Emperor, slave, Yue Le will agree."

Several people couldn't help but look at him, and Shunzhi asked, "Why?"

Sony said: "Justice, just as Yue Le betrayed Dorgon, he did not want the Qing Dynasty to be rebellious. The slave thought that as long as he knew his feelings and moved him with reason, Yue Le would agree to assassinate Ajige."

Beijing City, the residence of the Prince of An.

It was snowing in the sky, and snowflakes were dancing in the sky, slowly covering the royal palace garden.

Yue Le stood in the courtyard corridor wearing a marten cloak, watching the snowflakes spinning into the pond.

"Oh!" Yue Le pulled the cloak on his shoulders and sighed, looking very worried.

After the defeat in Gaizhou, Yue Le was secretly taken back to Beijing, placed under house arrest in the royal palace, and prepared to be tried.

Now, only a very few people know about the news of Gaizhou's defeat, but Yue Le knew in his heart what consequences he would have if the news came.

However, compared to what he had to bear, Yue Le was actually more worried about the crisis faced by the Qing Dynasty.

At this time, many people may not be able to see the impact of the Battle of Gaizhou, but Yue Le had already understood that with the imbalance of internal forces of the Qing Dynasty, a turmoil was about to come.

However, although Yue Le was considering Man Qing, he was also a little dissatisfied with his own experience.

At this time, Yue Lezheng looked at the pond with a dazed look, and a layer of snowflakes had fallen. A burst of rapid footsteps pulled him back from his deep thoughts. Looking closely, it was the general who guarded him who led Luke Dehun to come.

At this time, the general stepped over from the courtyard and reported: "Prince, Prince Chengshun is here to see you."

Yue Le was stunned when he heard this. He didn't expect that Luke Dehun would come to see him now.

At the beginning, Luke Dehun and Mandahai had thought of pulling Yuele and letting him turn to the two red flags. Then among the five kings of governing the country, they would have three kings, and they could gradually gain the power of the Qing court. However, after Shunzhi and Bumubutai made their statements, the two did not contact Yuele and had never visited him.

While speaking, Prince Luke Dehun of Chengshun had already walked in.

"It's great that Prince An comes in!" Lukede walked to the corridor and said with a smile.

Yue Le smiled bitterly and said, "What's the good or bad for those who are guilty? Prince Chengshun came here because he was afraid that he would not come to see me. If there is anything, he can just say it."

Seeing this, Luke Dehun immediately said, "This time, there is something that is indeed related to the safety of the Qing Dynasty. Come and tell you."

Yue Le said in confusion: "I am now guilty and a great matter in the world, so why do you ask me?"

Lukedehun said worriedly: "Prince An is in the palace and has no idea about the outside world. Now I think that maybe only Prince An can save the Qing Dynasty."

Yue Le looked questioning, "I have no soldiers and no power, how can I save you?"

Lukedehn said in a deep voice: "The emperor received the news that after Ajige learned of the defeat of Gaizhou, he recruited troops in Xuzhou and prepared to rebel and seize power. The world is in chaos and the Qing Dynasty is in danger!"

After discussing with the three kings of the reign of the government, Shunzhi decided not to inform Yue Le of the truth, and instead slandered him. Ajige was secretly planning to raise an army and provoke internal strife.

"What?" After hearing this, Yue Le couldn't help but exclaim, his face was gloomy. As expected, with the internal imbalance of the Qing court, the powerful side wanted to take action.

Luke Dehun looked at Yue Le's expression and immediately said: "The court is now in troubles internally and externally. Zhao Zamao's army plundered outside the pass, restraining more than 100,000 elite troops in the court. Now Beijing is empty. If Ajige raises an army to rebel, the Qing Dynasty will be in chaos."

In the defeat of Gaizhou, the Eight Banners lost nearly 20,000 yuan. If Ajige raised an army, how many people would die in the Manchus?

If the Manchus kill each other and fall under the butcher knife of their own people, their strength will be weak, and it is hard to say that other forces in the Southern Ming Dynasty will definitely take the opportunity to take action.

Yue Le said in a deep voice: "What does the emperor want me to do?"
