Sun Zhiqi came to the end of the Han official team, and here were some minor officials such as outsiders and directors of the six departments and Jiuqing. Although these officials have low official positions, they also know what to do, and seeing such a shameless guy as Sun Zhiqi come to his side, one by one does not let go, and does not let him enter the class.

The Han officials couldn't get in, the Manguan side looked down on them, and Sun Zhiqi wandered between the two classes, unable to advance or retreat, and was embarrassed. Seeing that he was excluded, Sun Zhiqi was furious in his heart, and scolded secretly: "Okay, let you look down on the old man one by one, wait for a while, and let you shave your head like the old man!" ”

Sun Zhiqi had no choice but to go to the end of the line and stand last.

The ministers of the previous dynasty had already arrived, and at this time the door was opened, and a little eunuch came out to count the number of people, and then let these ministers in.

Today, because it is the 15th National Congress of the Imperial Court, the little emperor Shunzhi and the regent Dolgon have to attend the court meeting. In the middle of the Qianqing Gate sat on the dragon chair was the little emperor Shunzhi, and on the chair on the side sat the regent Dorgon.

Shunzhi is just seven years old this year, he is still a naughty boy who doesn't know anything, it is not easy to get up so early, after seeing the Manchu Dynasty civil and military standing, Shunzhi yawned and said: "Uncle Huang, I am a little tired, you are in charge of anything!" After speaking, Emperor Shunzhi closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.

The current Dolgon is still only the regent, and he has not yet become the regent of the imperial father who later leaned towards the government and the opposition, so after listening to Shunzhi's words, he stood up and saluted, and asked the ministers: "If there is something to play, there is nothing to retreat from the court!" ”

Now that the Manchus had occupied half of China north of the Yangtze River, and there were many things going on in the whole country, a few ministers came out immediately after Dolgon finished speaking, and began to ask for advice on various state affairs. Dolgon was a brilliant statesman, and many problems were solved on the spot, and those that could not be solved were given time for the ministers to discuss at the meeting.

When an hour had passed, the sun had already sunset, and the ministers had finished asking for instructions. When Dorgon saw that no one was playing, he stood up and said, "What else is the matter with the ministers?" If you have nothing to do, please retreat from the court! ”

Shunzhi heard that it was okay, and just got up from the dragon chair to go back to the harem, and at the end of the Han official team, a person shouted: "The minister has this!" ”

Shunzhi is not very familiar with the situation in the imperial court, and he looked at how a person dressed in a full official costume came out of the Han officials, but this guy said that he has a book, so let's listen to it.

Shunji sat down on the dragon chair again, and then asked, "Who is the performer?" ”

This person is Sun Zhiqi, he came to the Qianqing Gate, knelt on the ground and shouted: "Sun Zhiqi, the servant of the Ministry of Rites, has a book to play!" ”

Dolgon was a little dissatisfied when he saw that it was this guy, Sun Zhiqi was just a waiter of the Ministry of Rites and a bachelor of Hanlin, to put it bluntly, he was idle, and now the court is at war, so he doesn't have time to care about your.

Dolgon frowned and said, "Sun Zhiqi, what is important to you?" If it's not a militaristic affair, send it to the cabinet first! ”

The one who knew Sun Zhiqi shouted loudly: "What the ministers are sparse is a military matter, or a first-class event!" It is a major event related to my Qing Dynasty for thousands of years! ”

If Dolgon heard that it was such an important matter, then listen to it!

"Okay, you read it!"

According to tradition, the minister Shangshu should have a full-time eunuch to read it, but Dolgon was too tired and planned to listen to it early and disperse the court, so he let Sun Zhiqi read it himself.

When Sun Zhiqi heard what Dorgon said, he quickly cheered up, opened the memora he had written, and began to read aloud.

Sun Zhiqi's memora is very long, starting from the Manchu Qing Dynasty's army outside the pass, sprinkled with thousands of words. Sun Zhiqi is worthy of being a Hanlin scholar who specializes in playing with pens, and expounded the legitimacy of the Manchu Qing Dynasty's seizure of the Ming Dynasty from both legal and moral aspects.

Half of the Manchu ministers of civil and military affairs were Manchurians who did not know Chinese characters, and those who listened to Sun Zhiqi were also very flattered, and many people could not understand it. Even Dolgon, who knows a little bit of Sinology, knows a little about it.

Dolgon listened to Sun Zhiqi at first just patted him, and originally wanted to stop him, but Sun Zhiqi said about Dolgon's father Nurhachi, and Dolgon, as a son, was not easy to interrupt, so he had no choice but to listen patiently. 400

Knowing that Sun Zhiqi read to the end, the words changed and said loudly: "Your Majesty has pacified China, everything is new, and the system of dressing and bundling is the only one that survives the old Han Dynasty, this is Your Majesty from China, and non-China from Your Majesty." ”

Although Dolgon didn't know much about this kind of classical Chinese, he could understand some of it, and Sun Zhiqi didn't use a strange language, so Dolgon still fully understood what this sentence meant.

Sun Zhiji's last sentence translates as: The emperor now occupies the Ming Dynasty, everything must have a new look, and the style of hair and clothes must also have a new look. If you still follow the Ming Dynasty, will you conquer the Ming Dynasty or the Ming Dynasty conquer the emperor?

The Manchu Qing Dynasty is now the conqueror, pressing the previously invincible Ming Dynasty to the ground and rubbing it, and it also accounts for half of the Ming Dynasty, but all the nobles of the Manchu Qing Dynasty still have a sense of inferiority in their hearts. This is like some poor ghosts with mud legs, who will not hesitate to put a set of twenty-four histories at home after making a fortune, making them seem to love to learn a lot, in fact, they may not have turned a page in this set of books in their lives.

The Manchu nobles were also like this, in fact, there were such signs when Huang Taiji was alive, and the Manchu nobles liked to wear Hanfu, smoke tobacco, and watch Han operas. However, culture has always been high-end and low-end, and your Manchurian diet, clothing, and living habits are indeed not as advanced as those of the Han people, so most of Huang Taiji's bans have no effect.

After the Manchu Qing entered the customs, this situation became more serious, and Dolgon, as the head of the Manchu Qing family, was really anxious in his eyes at this time. If this situation is not controlled, let the Han culture continue to infiltrate, not to mention the 100-year national fortune of the Mongols, there will be nothing to do with the Manchurians in 30 years. (Dolgon was right, thirty years later, in the rebellion of the three feudatories, the Eight Banners of Manchuria had little combat effectiveness)

Therefore, in order to maintain the independence of his own nationality and to crack down on the cultural traditions of the Han nationality from the cultural level, after Dolgon just occupied Beijing, in the first year of Shunzhi, that is, on the third day of the fifth month of the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, he issued an order to shave his head and change his obedience in the northern provinces.

The promulgation of this order immediately caused the already calm northern provinces to burst into flames, and Dolgon did not expect the Han Chinese to resist so fiercely. At that time, the Manchus still only occupied a part of Shanxi and a part of Shandong, so for the sake of the overall situation, on May 24, Dolgon announced that he would withdraw his order and allow the Han people to tie their hair as usual.

Now a year has passed, the Manchu Qing dynasty has become more and more stable, Li Zicheng, who was the biggest threat, has been wiped out by Azig, and the remaining tens of thousands of people have fled to the mountains on the border between Sichuan and Huguang. And the other force, Nanming, now that the capital has been besieged, according to this situation, Nanjing can be taken in a few months, so that the whole of China has no large-scale resistance force, so in Dolgon's heart, he is already thinking about restarting the head-shaving order in due time.

Now Dolgon heard Sun Zhiqi make this suggestion, nodded with satisfaction and praised: "I didn't expect that there are still people like you who understand righteousness among the ministers!" ”

As soon as Dolgon's words came out, the opposition among the Han officials was gone. As soon as Sun Zhiqi finished speaking, some upright people among the Han officials immediately scolded Sun Zhiqi, what kind of number of books forgot their ancestors, disloyalty and filial piety, and so on. However, Dolgon's words set the tone for Sun Zhiqi's remarks, and you dare to object to what the top leaders have said? Don't you want to live anymore?

As for the Manchu officials, there was no objection, Dolgon was their boss, and it was also a good suggestion to take them to make a fortune, and at the same time let the restless Han people wear their own clothes.

Seeing that there was no opposition in the court, Dolgon stood up and said to Emperor Shunzhi: "Your Majesty, what Sun Zhiqi said is very right, please give your Majesty's permission!" ”

Shunzhi didn't have much administrative ability at this time, and he was very dependent on Dolgon in his heart, so when he heard Dolgon say this, he hurriedly said: "Uncle Huang, regent, just make your own mind!" ”

Dolgon nodded, turned to the ministers and said, "With Your Majesty's permission, the military and civilians inside and outside the capital are hereby ordered to shave their hair within ten days, and the military and civilians in all provinces are also limited to shave their hair within ten days from the date of the arrival of the ministry's document. The civilian, military, and civilians all shave their hair like the Manchu style, and those who do not obey will be governed by military law! ”

After Dolgon finished speaking, he looked at Sun Zhiqi who was kneeling on the ground, nodded with satisfaction and said: "Sun Zhiqi is the meaning of this king, and now he is receiving the title of Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, and he is transferred to the Imperial History of the Left Capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate!" ”

The left deputy of the Imperial Court of the Imperial Court is a high-ranking official of the third grade, plus the title of the secretary of the Ministry of Hanging Rites, and now Sun Zhiqi is a proper second-grade member. When Sun Zhiqi heard that he had been promoted, he quickly knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly, saying that he was grateful to His Majesty and the regent for their grace!

Sun Zhiqi was promoted to the official and was complacent, which was completely different from the appearance of a lost dog a few days ago. Sun Zhiqi stood up and looked left and right, came to the front of the Han official class, and motioned for everyone to give him a place.

At this time, Sun Zhiqi was in the limelight, although everyone was annoyed with him, but no one dared to contradict him at this juncture, and the officials of the Ministry of Rites saw this guy come to him, and they hesitated what to do. At this time, Zuo Maodi stood up and said with a smile: "Congratulations, my lord! With that, he moved to the side and poured out a position.

Sun Zhidi's promotion today is completely the credit of Zuo Maodi's persuasion, so Sun Zhiqi is still very grateful to Zuo Maodi, and now seeing Zuo Maodi's goodwill, he thanked him: "Thank you, Lord Zuo!" ”

Zuo Maodi heard Sun Zhiqi say this and knew that this guy was a pun, but Zuo Maodi didn't take Sun Zhiqi's thanks to heart, although this guy is beautiful now, but he has committed the anger of the whole world, and the future will definitely not be good, so it's better to stay away from this guy.

The Manchu Qing Dynasty's order to shave his head and change his obedience soon spread throughout the country, and Duoduo, who was far outside Nanjing, also received a holy decree from the imperial court. Duoduo was stunned when he saw this holy decree, and now his plan for the attack of Nanzhili was going very well, and those Ming Dynasty magistrates saw that the Manchu army was coming and surrendered one after another, and there was no fierce resistance. But as soon as this holy decree is made, the entire Nanzhili will be on fire everywhere.
