Chapter 609: Shunzhi ascends the throne
After returning to Liaoyang, Ning Wan and I immediately hurriedly paid tribute to Dolgon, and Dolgon was very happy to see that Ning Wan had completed my mission and that the errand had been done so smoothly.
"Master Ning, this king really didn't misunderstand you, this envoy, you can be regarded as a great contribution to this king. This king once thought that Haoge's fight would be very difficult, and the negotiation might be time-consuming and laborious, but he didn't expect that as soon as Scholar Ning came out, he could roughly finalize the entire negotiation framework and content, which really made this king greatly appreciated! Dolgon smiled and praised him repeatedly, and then shouted loudly: "Spread the will of the king, and confer the university Shi Ning to complete my second-class Niu Lu Zhangjing, in order to show his merits." ”
Ning finished my knees with great joy: "Thank you, Lord Regent!" In the next but a little work, An dares to be so generous! I wish to do my best to go to the soup for the regent, and then drive away! ”
Dolgon smiled, he made a gesture of support, and after Ning finished me and got up, he continued: "Then since Hauge and I have reached a preliminary agreement, then Ning Bachelor will leave his hard work, and this king will send full authority to you to go to Shengjing to formally negotiate, if the agreement is finally formally reached, this king will definitely reward you again." “
When I heard this, I couldn't help but be overjoyed, and immediately knelt down again: "Please rest assured that the regent will ensure the smooth completion of the task, and will never live up to the regent's high hopes!" “
With both sides interested in making peace, a formal agreement was quickly reached, and less than ten days later, a formal agreement was finally negotiated.
As for the content, it is very different from what Ning Wan and Hauge talked about last time, that is, Dolgon is the right regent, Hauge is the left regent, and the final decision on the state affairs of the Qing Dynasty is in the hands of the two. In addition, under the two of them, they also arranged for Prince Li Daishan to assist Prince Zheng Zierharang.
At this point, the internal strife in the Qing Dynasty, which had been disputed for nearly four months, finally ended, and the two major groups of Dolgon and Hauge finally reconciled on the surface after a dog-eat-dog infighting. Throughout the Qing Dynasty, the war stopped, and began to get back on track.
However, after the agreement was reached, in order to show his sincerity, Hauge requested that Dolgon personally lead the team to escort the coffin of Huang Taiji to Shengjing City for burial. In this way, I hope to show Dorgon's sincerity.
On the day of the auspicious day, Dolgon dug out the coffin of Huang Taiji, re-decorated it, and sent a funeral procession of more than 1,000 officials, together with tens of thousands of escort troops, all the way north to Shengjing.
Five days later, Dolgon and his party arrived outside the south gate of Shengjing, where Dolgon and Hauge met.
When the two met at this time, their hearts were full of mixed tastes, and the hatred in their hearts was really difficult to eliminate, but the coffin of Huang Taiji was in front, and the two had to perform in public to relieve everyone's hearts.
Everyone saw that when the coffin of Huang Taiji was delivered, Haoge, who was originally standing outside the south gate of Shengjing, immediately had a sad face, howling and rushing, the official hat fell to the ground, the boots ran off, and ran barefoot on the snow, hugging the coffin and crying bitterly, fully demonstrating the etiquette and sadness that a filial son should fulfill.
Seeing that the regent of Zuo was so sad and so filial and thoughtful, the onlookers of the officials and soldiers were all sighing, and for a while, there were many people accompanying them to cry, and the atmosphere was sentimental.
Seeing Hauge's performance so dedicated, the effect was so good, Dolgon, who was standing in a coffin in plain clothes, had to admire his superb acting skills for a while, and while he sneered in his heart, he had to squeeze out two tears on the surface to show that he was also sad.
Hauge cried tears, his chest was full, and his voice was full of emotion, fully demonstrating the sorrow of a filial son in front of everyone. Seeing Hauge crying like this, and not knowing when it would stop, Dolgon scolded endlessly in his heart, but on the surface he had to come to persuade with a sad look: "Hauge, the first emperor has passed away, please mourn and change, don't cry and damage your body." ”
Seeing that Dorgon himself had come to persuade him, and though he knew that he was duplicitous, Hauge had no choice but to go down the slope of the donkey, and he stopped crying, and replied in a tone of bitterness: "Alas, the king is in grief in his heart, why should he express it, but he hates to replace his father." ”
Dolgon sneered in his heart, but on the surface he still persuaded with a concerned look: "Hauge, you have such a filial heart, I and everyone are greatly moved. It's just that the coffin of the first emperor was sent here for a long time, and it was full of wind and snow along the way, so it still needs to be buried as soon as possible. ”
Hauge nodded, but asked in a low voice to Dolgon: "Now that the weather is freezing and the ground is harder than pig iron, how can we dig the mausoleum again, and where should this emperor's coffin stop?"
Dolgon had long thought that Hauge would ask such a question, and he replied in a deep voice: "The only way to do this is to work around first, and you can use bricks, stones, and wood to temporarily build a mausoleum, which is a temporary resting place for the coffin of the first emperor." Wait for the spring to thaw, and then build a mausoleum to mourn the first emperor. “
Dolgon paused, then lowered his voice and said to Hauge: "Hauge, the country cannot be without a king for a day, now our most urgent thing is to first help Fu Lin to ascend the throne, only when the monarch is selected, the country can be peaceful, can be united, and work together with the outside world, this is what we must determine as soon as possible as the regent, as an important minister who assists the government, and we must not delay." “
Hauge sighed softly, nodded, and said, "Well, Dolgon, you have a point, so let's do it according to your opinion." “
After the two negotiated, Dolgon immediately ordered that not far from the old slave's grave, first use stone and wood to temporarily build a place to place the coffin of Huang Taiji, and at the same time, in Shengjing City, re-settle hundreds of officials and officials, vigorously rectify the yamen, and re-clean and arrange the Shengjing Imperial Palace.
When these were done, Dorgon and Hauge began preparations for the accession to the throne.
In the fifteenth year of Chongzhen, on the fifth day of the second lunar month, the second emperor of the Qing Dynasty, Fulin, officially ascended the throne.
By the right regent Dolgon, the left regent Haoge, the prince of Li Daishan, and the kings of civil and military affairs, the ninth son of Taizong of the Qing Dynasty was established as the heir emperor, with the prince of Zheng Jierharang and the prince of Rui Dolgon as the auxiliary government, the year name Shunzhi, the next year was changed to the first year of Shunzhi, and it was decided that Yu Fu would be in the Dazheng Hall and hold the enthronement ceremony.
To everyone's surprise, Fu Lin, who was only six years old, had an indescribable royal bearing, although he was young. When boarding the chariot to the main hall, the nurse was afraid that he would not be able to sit steadily, so she wanted to hold him and sit on the royal car together. Fu Lin said: "This is a respectful ride, and it is not suitable for you." As soon as these words came out, everyone was impressed. For a time, his intelligence and bearing were widely spread in the Qing Dynasty.
Strange to say, on that day, the always gloomy weather was magically swept away and turned into a bright and sunny day. Emperor Shunzhi Imperial Palace (also known as Dugong Palace) was congratulated, in order to reflect the respect for the elderly, the special ceremony of the prince on behalf of the good do not worship. Subsequently, Prince Zheng Ji'er Harang sent an edict to all the officials of the ministry and the court, and Fan Bai sent two regents in advance, and the two of them had full authority to handle state affairs.
At this point, the Shunzhi Emperor came to power, although it was more than half a year earlier than the official history, but it still maintained the original historical trajectory, and the Qing Dynasty has been re-healed and entered a new stage.
Just two days before Emperor Shunzhi ascended the throne, Li Xiao, who was stationed in Haicheng, finally received news from Shandong.
Li Xiao, who was originally in a good mood, suddenly gloomy when he saw the news reported by Hao Zeren.
He almost intuitively thought in his heart that Hauge was really very likely to make peace with Dolgon and the others next, and the situation of the Qing court being scattered and fighting with each other was afraid that it would also come to an end.
Then next, the alliance between himself and Hauge is very likely to end and break up in two, such an ending is inevitable.
If this is the case, how should I deal with this situation next?
Should we take advantage of the turmoil in the Qing court and continue the offensive with all our might, or should we hold off and see the latest developments in the Qing court before making a decision?
However, in a situation where intelligence information is so scarce, it is not easy to make a proper decision.
Perhaps, the only way now is to look at the dynamics of the Qing court, and it is the safest and most appropriate thing to do again.
Li Xiao paced back and forth in the room, pondering for a long time, before finally ordering: "Reply to Hao Zeren immediately, let him keep a close grasp of the situation in the Qing court, and if there is any news, report back immediately." ”
"Yes, in obedience!"
And on the night of Emperor Shunzhi's accession to the throne, Haoge and Sonny talked in a low voice in the secret hall of Prince Su's mansion.
The focus of the secret talks was that now that he had reconciled with Dorgon and successfully elected Shunzhi as the puppet emperor of the Qing Dynasty, what was the next step was to deal with the Tang army, which had been allied with him.
This is a very important and urgent issue. It stands to reason that now that order had been restored to the Qing court, Hauge should have discussed the matter carefully with Dolgon, but he could not trust Dorgon, so he preferred to negotiate with his confidant Sony first.
"Sony, do you think we really want to do what Dolgon said, not only to completely tear up the alliance with the Tang Army, but also to turn around, join forces with him, and launch an attack on the Tang Army?"
In the dancing candle flame, Hauge had a complicated expression and a low voice.
"Prince Yusu, in my opinion, how to deal with Tang Jun next, you must be extremely cautious, and you must not act rashly." Sonny had a serious look on his face.
"Oh, what is your opinion?"
"Prince Su, I believe that although we have dissolved the alliance with the Tang Army and remade peace with Dolgon, we must not turn around and completely fight with the Tang Army. If I do this, it will be extremely stupid, it will only cut ourselves off, greatly reduce our potential strength, and do so will only cheapen Dolgon. ”
"Tell me more."
"Prince Su, you also know that we can finally escape from the clutches of Dolgon and avoid the disaster of destroying the city, and now we can still hold power with him and jointly support the emperor, all of which are the power of the Tang army in time. For us, the Tang Army is of great significance and plays a very important role. Sony's eyes burned, and he replied in a deep voice: "So, although we are now negotiating peace with Dolgon, and the two armies have merged and supported the emperor, the Tang army is still an extremely important support for us. It can even be said that if we turn against Dolgon in the future, we can join forces with the Tang Army to fight against this fang again, which is the last way for us to survive. “
Sonny paused for a moment and continued: "So, although Dolgon wholeheartedly hopes that we can completely turn our faces with the Tang Army, and we can turn around and fight with the Tang Army in flesh and blood, but crossing the river and demolishing the bridge like this will only take advantage of others for nothing, and we must not do it." At most, we can only make a false accusation, and we can drag it out, even if Dolgonzhen and the Tang army fight again in the future, we must strive to preserve our strength, and we must not easily fight against the Tang army as an enemy. You know, in the event that Dolgon and us turn against each other in the future, we can still contact the Tang Army to help. Taking a step back, even if we can't gain a foothold in the Qing court, then we still have the option of defecting to the Tang Army, and this is our last chance to save our lives! “
When Hauge heard this, his face was full of pain and confusion, he raised his head, and sighed abruptly: "What you said is indeed reasonable, and so is the heart of this king. In your opinion, are we going to talk to Hao Zeren, the shopkeeper of the Xianwang Iron Shop, to talk to Tang Jun first? “
"That's natural, and you have to do it as soon as possible." Sonny said hurriedly: "You know, now that the new emperor has ascended the throne, everything is unstable, we have the opportunity to get up and down, if we wait until the government is stable, and the entire court and officialdom are officially operating smoothly, we want to avoid people's eyes and ears, but it will be difficult." Therefore, we must negotiate with Hao Zeren as soon as possible, so that he can understand that although we have to break the alliance with the Tang Army, we never want to be their enemies again, and try our best to maintain a tacit understanding and even secretly communicate with them. This attitude must be made known to them, and this is an extremely important matter. “
Before Hauge could speak, Sonny said in a deep voice: "Prince Su, depending on the following, we can still talk to them about one more thing in the secret conversation with Hao Zeren." ”
"What's the matter?"
"That is, we will make a proposal to the imperial court not to have a head-on conflict with the Tang army, but hope to solve the current dilemma of the two countries fighting each other through negotiations. I hope he will show Li Xiao this attitude of waiting. If we can get an affirmative answer from the Tang Army, we will put pressure on Dolgon to make him understand that there is no way out of confrontation with the Tang Army, and that only negotiation is the best means and the only option to solve the problem. In this way, if the negotiation can be completed, the two countries will not be able to afford to fight, the war can be stopped, and Dolgon will not be able to increase his personal prestige by fighting the Tang army, and the Tang army will definitely remember us a great favor because of our actions. Isn't it good for both of us to benefit in this way? ”
Sony's words, Hauge nodded.
"Very good, Sony, your analysis is very reasonable, then so be it, this king has appointed you as the plenipotentiary, and I will go to negotiate with Hao Zeren secretly tomorrow night."
", Prince Su rest assured, the slave will do his best to do his best." 2k reading web
