455 The Struggle for the Succession

After finishing these, before Emperor Chongzhen left Jinzhou and returned to Beijing, he privately instructed Lu Xiangsheng, who was sitting in Liaodong: "Emperor Taiji, the slave chieftain, has been killed by me, and now several people in Jianyu are coveting the position left by Huang Taiji." On the Qing side, don't oppress Jianyu too much, lest they compromise with each other due to external pressure. Qing should rest and recuperate, and train the soldiers and horses first! ”

Hearing this, Lu Xiangsheng was taken aback. I didn't expect that all along, such a powerful slave chieftain would be angry with the emperor to death?

Although he thought it was a bit incredible, he didn't think that the emperor would lie and attributed Huang Taiji's death to himself, so he admired the emperor very much and breathed a sigh of relief.

Lu Xiangsheng has been in Dongjiang Town for several years, and he is naturally very familiar with the affairs of Huang Taiji. Therefore, although they are opponents of each other, he also has to admire Huang Taiji, who is a person with real skills. Although Lu Xiangsheng believes that he is stronger than Huang Taiji in leading troops to fight, but in other aspects, he really has to bow down!

Such a man of the year was angry with the emperor! It's good that the Ming Dynasty has an emperor!

Thinking so, he hurriedly responded. There is no need for Emperor Chongzhen to explain, he naturally knows that if there is too much pressure on Jianyu at this time, unless he can defeat Jianyu in one fell swoop, otherwise under the crisis, it will make Jianyu feel life and death and give up the fight between each other and unite.

While he was thinking, Emperor Chongzhen explained to him again: "On the Korean side, although there is no need to occupy it for the time being, it is necessary to infiltrate the remnants of North Korea, and when the Ming Dynasty has the energy to take North Korea in the future, we must ensure that there is no problem!" ”

For this, Lu Xiangsheng did not hesitate at all, and immediately agreed, this is just a trivial matter.

However, at this time, he didn't know that this matter was not as easy as he imagined. If Emperor Chongzhen hadn't explained to him at this time, it would have been really troublesome to turn around.

After Emperor Chongzhen finished explaining the matter, he took Chen Shaozong's mother back to Beijing for the New Year under the personal escort of Zheng Zhilong.

This time I returned to Beijing, and the harvest was quite big, at least I was angry with Huang Taiji! Now all that's left is to sit back and watch the civil strife in Jianyu!

However, it is obvious that although Emperor Chongzhen has a golden finger with him, not everything is under his control, at least the real cause of Huang Taiji's final death is not what he thinks, but someone else who helped him, which can be regarded as angry Huang Taiji together. In addition, Jianyu's battle for the heir was also unexpected by Emperor Chongzhen.

…………

Jianyu's side, Dai Shan actually had a rare second spring, regardless of tiredness, urging to hurry, and even sometimes riding a horse by himself, really tired to take a carriage, just like that, more than 800 miles, it took half a month, and he rushed back to Shengjing.

Before he entered Shengjing City, he felt the tense atmosphere of saber rattling. Not only in Shengjing City, but also outside Shengjing City, soldiers and horses from all walks of life were stationed, and they were all vigilant like enemies with each other, and they almost started fighting. Even if there is no fight at the moment, it is like a very dry firewood, as soon as a match is thrown in, it will burn immediately.

Seeing this, Dai Shan was even more worried in his heart, and hurriedly entered Beijing. However, on the way he entered the gate of Jingshi, he was stopped several times, and of course, when he revealed his identity, no one dared to stop him.

When he first entered the city gate, people from all sides came to meet him as soon as possible. After all, he was the head of the princes, and he was also the oldest. Even when Huang Taiji was alive, he didn't like him but could only offer him up.

"Prince Li is finally back, you come to judge, my father has died, and naturally I have to take over. Pity my father's corpse is not cold, but some people have begun to covet the throne! As soon as Hauge saw Dai Shan, he pretended to be pitiful and said first.

When Duoduo, who arrived almost at the same time, heard this, he immediately retorted: "I don't have the stinky problem of a Han dog in the Qing Dynasty, who said that the father must die and the son must succeed, and the brother must die, so why not?" ”

Of course, Yue Tuo also arrived, and immediately echoed: "The throne of the Great Qing Dynasty is very important, we must be cautious, and someone with enough prestige must succeed to the throne!" ”

“……”

For their words, Dai Shan, who had a gloomy face, ignored them all, and just asked his son: "Where is the emperor buried?" ”

Anyway, he's going to pay a few respects first.

However, after hearing his words, the few people who had just rushed to speak all looked strange. In the end, Yue Tuo replied to his Lao Tzu's words: "The funeral has not yet been performed, and it is still in the palace!" ”

After Huang Taiji died, he sent people over to exchange prisoners, and Dai Shan rushed back again, and these back and forth went for more than a month. Dai Shan didn't expect that this group of people would abandon Huang Taiji's future affairs!

"Humph!" Dai Shan glanced at the faces of these Qing princes in front of him, stared at their eyes, let out a heavy cold snort, and then, no one paid attention to it, and drove his horse forward, heading directly to the palace.

When Hauge and Duoduo and the others saw each other, they couldn't help but glance at each other, but in the end they didn't speak, and hurriedly caught up with Daishan and went to the palace together.

In Shengjing City, there are indeed heavily armed soldiers everywhere, and there are eight banners, each guarding a block, and they are very vigilant against each other. This is especially true when it comes to the palace. At every door, people from all sides looked at each other, and the eyes that looked at each other were vicious.

Dai Shan came all the way, and he didn't see a little mourning, it was all saber rattling between the Qing soldiers, looking at these, his mood couldn't help but be very heavy.

Huang Taiji's body has been put into a coffin, and that's all, there is not even a mourning hall. When Dai Shan saw it, he was even more angry, he estimated that if it weren't for the stinky corpse, would these things not even give a coffin to Huang Taiji?

In fact, Huang Taiji's treatment is not bad, in history, after some emperors died, they were directly given up, and there was not even a coffin.

Dai Shan tried to suppress his anger, and without saying a word, he gave Huang Taiji incense, and then stood there silently, stroking the coffin.

When Hauge and Dordor and the others saw this, they all fell silent, and it seemed that at this time, they came to their senses, and it was their emperor who was lying in the coffin. Dai Shan, the prince who was once the head of the Eight Great Baylors, his words and deeds are still a bit of a deterrent after all.

At this time, the two princes, Dolgon and Azig, who had no military powers, were also notified and hurried over. Seeing this, they were all speechless and didn't dare to speak.

They feel that Dai Shan at this time is like a powder keg, and whoever wants to do anything to provoke him will definitely have a big explosion. For no reason, no one wants to push Dai Shan to the opposite side. Even Yue Tuo didn't dare to provoke his father at this time.

However, their feelings for Dai Shan are only that. If you really want to say how scared you are, that's not it. After all, Dai Shan has no military power in his hands, and three thousand defeated? It's not elite yet, and once the fight starts, it's not enough to even plug between your teeth.

At this moment, suddenly there was a commotion outside, faintly, and the sound of horses' hooves and swords, guns and halberds colliding.

Got a fight outside? When these princes heard this, they couldn't help but be a little surprised, and the three of Haoge, Duoduo, and Yue Tuo, who held the power of the army, immediately glanced at each other, and they all saw each other's vigilance. Almost at the same time, the three of them wanted to go out and see what was going on.

After all, if two of them fight first, it will definitely be cheaper for the third party.

However, at this moment, there was already the sound of hurried footsteps outside the temple. Before they could go out, someone from outside rushed into the temple.

Everyone looked at it, but it was a group of yellow coats with white belts tied on their heads. The person who is the leader, everyone also recognizes it, and it is Huang Taiji's confidant and the leader of the guards.

That's right, it's Aobai back. No one informed him of Huang Taiji's death, so it was not until much later that he learned of Huang Taiji's death, so he immediately led the army to rush back.

In his hands, he now holds the elite that Huang Taiji secretly arranged to deal with the Dongjiang Army during his lifetime, Huang Taiji did not withdraw his will, then this elite is led by him, and the leaders of the army are also Huang Taiji's cronies, so the purpose was just to try not to leak the news. Now, it has an unexpected effect.

I saw that after Ao Bai led a bunch of yellow coats into the hall, he saw the coffin at a glance, and after being stunned, they all rushed over and cried "wow".

Among the princes in the palace, only Haoge was overjoyed, and immediately cried, shouting, "My father, you died so miserably......"

However, although he cried loudly, there were no tears, and he was still looking at Ao Bai from time to time.

When Duoduo and Yue Tuo saw each other, their hearts tightened, and as soon as their eyes touched, they immediately understood what each other meant, and reached an agreement with each other to deal with Hauge's side together.

In the original history, in the battle for the succession after the death of Huang Taiji, Ao Bai also appeared on the stage of history at that time and became a weightless figure in the history of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. At that time, although there was no such thing as the Dongjiang Army, he was also extremely trusted by Huang Taiji, and he was the commander of the two yellow banners, and his attitude was very firm, and he must support Huang Taiji's son to become the next emperor. is also because of this, Ao Bai did not have much fame before, but in the blink of an eye, he was able to become a minister of Gu Ming, a minister of orphanage, and his power reached its peak during the Kangxi period.

At this time, he is also the same as in the original history. After crying and worshiping Huang Taiji, he immediately drew his sword to threaten him, and made his attitude clear, no one in their group of yellow coats recognized him, and only recognized Huang Taiji's son, so that he could succeed to the throne as the emperor of the Qing Dynasty.

His stunned words and deeds made Duoduo and Yue Tuo dare not act rashly. Because Hauge fights, it is for himself, and he is selfish, just like them. However, these people have no interests, and they can't come to rob the emperor. Their loyalty to Huang Taiji and the candidates for the succession of the Qing Dynasty were, to a large extent, the opinions of the Qing soldiers and the common people.

Although the Mongols have the practice of being brothers and brothers, the Qing Dynasty has already established the country as emperor, and it is different from the Mongols after all. Moreover, this kind of succession of the emperor, for most people, especially the Jianzhou Jurchens, who were once part of the Ming Dynasty, also agree with the succession of their sons.

Ao Bai had military power in his hands, and Dai Shan immediately expressed the same opinion, and increased the weight of the imperial succession, which made Haoge grin when he saw it, and he almost laughed.

However, Duoduo and Yuetuo will not give up.

Among them, Duoduo immediately pointed at Hauge and shouted: "Just like him, if he becomes the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, what can he do, is it because the Qing Dynasty died not fast enough?" ”

"Yes, when the emperor was alive, he had a low opinion of him!" Yue Tuo also immediately chimed in, "If he really had the ability, the emperor would have made him the crown prince a long time ago, but is there any?" is so old, not only did he not become the prince, but he was often reprimanded by the emperor, how could such a person be the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, and how could he go to deal with the Ming Kingdom? ”

Hauge was speechless, and really wanted to bite the two beasts to death. However, when he opened his mouth, he couldn't bite it, and it was not easy to refute, and finally he straightened his neck and shouted: "Lao Tzu is the seed of his father, and you are not!" ”

This time, it was Duoduo and Yue Tuo's turn to be dumbfounded, this thing only grasped this point, and they couldn't refute it, because they were not Huang Taiji's species.

At the critical moment, Dolgon also spoke: "Hauge is not capable enough, and his virtue is not enough, and he can't convince the public at any point." If he becomes the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, it won't be long before the Qing Dynasty will be defeated by the Ming Kingdom, everyone, do you want to see this end? ”

Just now this group of people attacked him not enough ability, which was enough to annoy him, this Dolgon even added a sentence that was not virtuous enough, Hauge heard it, and immediately became furious, and shouted at Dolgon: "You fuck, that eye sees that I am not virtuous enough?" ”

"In the fourth year of Chongde, I captured the Jinan Mansion of the Ming Kingdom, captured the King of the Ming Kingdom, and said that I would dedicate it to the emperor at that time." Dorgon sneered and said, "But you still forcibly put those princesses to sleep, do you have half of the respect for your father in your heart?" ”

"Yes, I can prove it!" When Yue Tuo heard this, he immediately agreed.

Although Huang Taiji most of them don't want to, but, at least at that time, before Huang Taiji made a decision, this was Huang Taiji's woman, just like that, Haoge even dared to touch it, even if Jianyu was not civilized enough, it was not allowed.

At this moment, the yellow coats who were absolutely loyal to Huang Taiji suddenly glared at Haoge angrily, and they turned out to be their own Lao Tzu, such a person is also worthy of being the emperor of the Qing Dynasty?

Hauge himself had forgotten about it, and was dumbfounded when Dorgon mentioned it.

As a result, the matter of succeeding to the emperor was deadlocked, and it was no longer one-sided to the succession of Huang Taiji's son. These individuals, while beginning to handle the aftermath of Huang Taiji, continued to wage a fierce war of words over the throne.

But it didn't last long before things took a new turn.
