[146] Who wants to be emperor???

With the support and instigation of the ministers of the Two Yellow Banners, Haoge also actively carried out activities, and sent people to the palace of Prince Zheng Jierharang to inform the ministers of the Two Yellow Banners that Prince Lisu was the king.

In order to repay the deep kindness of Huang Taiji, Zilharang must have advocated the establishment of the emperor's son to express his loyalty, so he agreed with the opinion of the two yellow flags. However, he was an important person in charge of the day-to-day affairs of the imperial court, and he had to take the overall situation into account, and proposed that it was still necessary to consult with Dorgon, the prince of Rui, and the kings.

Almost at the same time as the activities of the ministers of the two yellow flags, the two white flags were also actively running for discussions. When they heard that the two yellow flags were going to support Haoge, they resolutely opposed it, and they all said: "If Prince Lisu is established, I won't be able to survive!" Unanimous in their banner lord Dorgon. When Dolgon sat in the tent at the gate, Duoduo, the prince of Yu, and Azig, the king of Wuyingjun, could not even kneel for a long time, and asked Dolgon to take the throne, and said that not only the ministers of the two white flags, relatives and friends, but even the people of other banners were looking forward to Dolgon. Dolgon, however, was not as open-minded as Hauge, and he sat still, refusing to answer, but saying, "By doing this, you will force me to die." ”

Dolgon's appearance is quiet, but in fact, he is not unmoved to support him to succeed to the throne. But he has always been cautious and resourceful, good at judging the situation, presumably Zilharang has come to discuss with him, in order to break the deadlock between the two white flags and the two yellow flags insisting on their own opinions, Dolgon personally came to the Sanguan Temple and summoned the main figure of the two yellow flag ministers, Sony.

Sony's answer was very resolute, insisting on the principle of "the father dies and the son succeeds", and there seems to be no room for negotiation, he said: "The first emperor has a prince, and I don't know anything else!"

Originally, Sony's answer in history was: "The first emperor has a prince, and he will establish one of them, and he doesn't know it!" Although the tone is resolute, "one must be established", the content has actually changed a lot. Thinking about it, the two yellow flags also knew the news that the two white flags resolutely opposed the establishment of Haoge as the king, and made certain corrections to their positions and took a step back.

The situation at that time in history was that the original Son of Heaven would go up to the Three Banners and obviously support the prince; The two white flags insisted on supporting the emperor's brother; The two red flags of Dai Shan are on the outside; The blue flag of Zilharang tends to be on the three flags.

There is also a very important and often overlooked force in the middle, and the revision of the position of the two yellow flags may be the role of this force. This power comes from the five palaces of the high platform under the Phoenix Tower, and from the noble Empress Zhezhe and the imperial concubine Bumu Butai, who are the mother of the Qing Dynasty. After Concubine Hai Lanzhu died of illness, only four of the five great blessings remained, and Huang Taiji did not choose a newcomer to enter the Dongguan Sui Palace. When Huang Taiji died of illness, the harem belonged to the world of Mongolian Borzigit. Of course, the harem is also very concerned about the question of who will inherit the throne, and its degree is no less than the two yellow flags and two white flags in the fierce confrontation. Of course, they advocated the establishment of a prince rather than a royal brother.

At this time, there were only two princes born to the noble concubines of the five palaces, one was Fulin, the ninth son of the emperor born to Concubine Zhuang Bumu Butai, who was just over five years old; The other is Bomu Bogol, the eleventh son of the emperor born to Namu Zhong, the noble concubine of Xilintoe Palace, who is less than two years old. Because Empress Zhezhe had no children, according to the rank of the prince's noble son, Fulin and Bomu Bogol were the first class, and their status was higher than that of Hauge, and higher than the sons born to other side concubines. As far as you are concerned, the ninth and eleventh sons of the emperor are the most qualified to succeed to the throne. As far as the self-interest of the queen and the palace concubine are concerned, they absolutely do not want Hauge, who is thirty-four years old and has no relationship with them, to succeed to the throne, because that would obviously leave them forever in the cold palace for the rest of their desolate years. Among the two children of the ninth son and the eleventh son, whether it is in terms of age or the tendency of the queen Zhezhe who plays a leading role, the selected one must be Fulin, the son of Concubine Zhuang.

The emperor himself died of the two yellow flags, the noble queen is still there, the emperor and queen are both masters, and their ministers are all slaves, how dare the ministers of the two yellow flags disobey the queen, and then say that the two yellow flags and the blue flag, the three flags of the son of heaven, have the greatest consistency with the queen and princess on the issue of succession: the prince. As for Lihaoge or Lifulin, there is not much difference between Shangsanqi. Therefore, the ministers of the two yellow flags were either summoned into the Phoenix Tower, or received a decree sent by the lord of the harem, pointing out to them: The two white flags are resolutely opposed to Haoge's succession, and if the two yellow flags still insist, there will be stalemate and even civil strife.

This is the real reason for Sony's change of attitude when Dorgon summons him at the Sanguan Temple. The attitude of the three flags changes, and the blue flag Zilharang will also change.

However, history has been changed by Song Youliang, the power of the Mongolian concubines of the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang has been eradicated, and the remaining Yijing Grand Concubine Borzigitna Muzhong is the daughter of the Mongolian Abahai County King Jaw Zignuoyan, but she does not have the wisdom and courage of the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang Bumubutai. Moreover, Bumu Butai had the support of two yellow flags in that year, and the help of Horqin Mongolia outside, so he stumbled and helped Fulin to the throne.

As a result, the middle force that should have been used to balance Dorgon and Hauge was siphoned off, and there was no possibility of compromise between Dorgon and Hauge, and a life-and-death power struggle would be inevitable.

On October 28, the 14th year of Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty, at the Jinluan Hall of the Great Yamen of the Khan Palace in Hetuala, a political meeting to decide the fate of Jiannu began in a tense atmosphere.

Before the Eight Banner Kings and Baylor were present, Sony first said aloud: "Your Majesty has been in a coma for nearly ten days, and his breath is getting weaker and weaker. The country cannot be without a king for a day, and today all the princes and Baylors are here, so let's discuss state affairs and establish a new king. ”

The commander of the Yellow Banner, who had participated in the impeachment of Dolgon and secretly let the soldiers go home, was the first to speak: "Prince Su Haoge is the eldest son of His Majesty, and he has made outstanding achievements, his father dies and his son succeeds, in case the emperor returns to heaven, the new monarch does not need to discuss it at all, it is Prince Su." ”

Azig sneered: "This is wrong, I have never had a tradition of having an eldest son, the emperor is the eighth child, isn't he also the emperor?" ”

Ao Bai immediately answered: "But the eleventh elder brother is not more than a year old. How is it possible to become emperor? This throne is naturally Prince Su. ”

Haoge smiled: "The second uncle understands the righteousness, if only the fourteenth uncle was so sensible." ”

Anping Beledudu shook his head and said, "If 'long' is ordained, Prince Rui is the fourteenth uncle of the eldest brother, isn't it even more 'long'?" ”

Zhengbai Qidutong Ahan said: "But the son is more precious than the mother, and Prince Rui's mother is the eldest concubine Abahai." And the biological mother of the eldest brother is from a humble background, how can she compare with Prince Rui? ”

The solid mountain of the Yellow Banner will be said with a smile: "It is the 'son' who governs the country, not the 'mother', and the governing of the country is based on intelligence, can the noble birth be used to govern the country?" ”

Kabula, the commander of the White Banner Cavalry, once followed Dolgon into the fortress and was a famous warrior of the White Banner, he faced Dolgon and said, "Master, can you say something!?" ”

Dolgon said sternly: "In the time of Taizu Nurhachi, the rule was set, and only the Eight and Shuobeile were qualified to discuss the affairs of the state. Sony and others do not have this qualification. "Dorgon moved out of the teachings of the Holy Fathers, and demanded that the other ministers who were not qualified must leave.

Sony, Ao Bai and others had to withdraw from the court sullenly.

Although some ministers of the two yellow flags withdrew from the court, the Baya soldiers outside the door were still eyeing each other with bows and swords, and Haoge and others were also gathering momentum for fear of an outbreak; If Dolgon took the initiative to accept the proposal of Azig and others, he would undoubtedly lead the spearhead to himself and set himself on fire. Considering this, Dorgon did not take a position lightly. Seeing that Dorgon was slow to speak, Azig thought he was timid. He said loudly to Dolgon: "If you do not agree to be called emperor, then make me emperor, and my name is included in the edict of Taizu." ”

Dolgon said, "The name of Prince Su Haoge is also mentioned in the edict of Taizu, and you are not the only one. "Dolgon didn't want Azig to be emperor at all, and he brought Haug scrolls in when he rejected Azig. Dolgon's words killed two birds with one stone, tying Haug and Azig together at once, blocking the idea of the two of them becoming emperors.

Seeing that Dolgon did not agree with him as emperor, Azig did not express his position, but instead asked Prince Li to become emperor on his behalf. said: "At the beginning, the second brother was named by Taizu to act as the agent of the country, so it is better for him to be the emperor." ”

Dai Shan was afraid of being burned, so he didn't dare to jump into this fire pit, and quickly said that he was incompetent. "I'm getting older, how many years do I have to live? Leave this world to you young people~"

Hauge stared at Zilharang tightly, waiting for the Prince Zheng who promised to support him to make a statement, but the treacherous and cunning Zilharang did not express his position for a long time, and just listened quietly.

Dolgon suddenly stood up and said, "You rebels and thieves without kings and fathers. You still have the face to say that you are a loyal minister of the Qing Dynasty! The eldest husband was born in heaven and earth, with loyalty and filial piety as the foundation of his life, you are all courtiers who have served the Qing Dynasty for generations, but how did you become a traitorous villain who only cares about your own glory and wealth! Your Majesty has not yet returned to heaven, so you are in a hurry to set up a new king? You say~~~ How is this different from rebellion? ”

Dolgon's words were so unexpected that even the scheming Zilharan was momentarily speechless. Indeed, although Huang Taiji looked like he was about to die, he still had half a breath after all.

Dolgon coldly threw down a sentence, "Now whoever wants to be the emperor and who wants to usurp the throne in a certain dynasty, the Eight Banner Masters should also be able to crusade against him together." After that, Dolgon made a gesture of prostration, "As long as the starling still breathes, I, Dolgon, will always be loyal to him." Twelfth brother ~ Let's go, this kind of dirty thing of usurping the throne in a certain dynasty will also pollute your ears when you hear it. ”

Dorgon picked up Azig, who was still there, and strode out of the Golden Luan Palace. Kabula was stunned for a moment, and quickly led the guards to chase them out.
