Yongzhong was shocked in his heart and continued to read, "The eight princes will lead the Eight Banners of Zhenghuang, Huang, White, White, Red, Red, Blue, and Blue, depose the Hongli Emperor, and choose another merit to take the throne!" ”

"Sure enough!" Hongming read it twice, as if he wanted to engrave every word into his mind, and after reading it, he lit the note with the candle on the table, until the last word also turned to ashes, and then sat down again.

"Amma, this is not in line with the ancestral system!" Yongzhong shouted, according to the founding rules of the Qing Dynasty, the three flags of yellow, inlaid yellow, and white are called the upper three flags by the emperor himself, and the remaining five flags are called the lower five flags. Each banner was commanded by Manchuria. At this time, the edict distributed the troops of the Eight Banners to the commanders of the Eight Kings, but it was a big violation of the rules of the ancestors, and it was clearly intended to weaken the emperor's power.

"Hmph, when it comes to my life-and-death situation, what is the ancestral system?" , Hongming snorted coldly, "What's more, when I started in the Qing Dynasty, it was the practice of the Eight Kings to discuss politics." Thinking of this, Hongming's heart is even hotter, even if he can't win the throne by then, getting the position of a minister of the king is countless times more beautiful than now!

The so-called Eight Kings Discussion Politics refers to the policy of Nurha's Red Decree to order the Eight Banners Banner Lord Beile to discuss national politics together, similar to the Burirtai Conference of the Mongols, which is a very small number of imperial relatives and nobles jointly agree on some military affairs, including the election of the heir to the throne (Khan); After the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs, Huang Taiji improved this policy, and the form of joint discussion of politics by the king of the clan and nobles of the Eight Banners Gushan Ezhen and the Minister of Parliament was called the "Council of Ministers of the King of Parliament".

After Kangxi eliminated the three feudatories, captured Taiwan, and reunified the whole country, the council of ministers system, which symbolized the political power of the aristocracy, inevitably contradicted the imperial power. The increase in the number of members of the Council of Ministers of the Parliament and the participation of lower-ranking nobles and ministers in the Council of Ministers actually reduced the power and status of the Council of Ministers of the Council of Ministers. During the Shunzhi and Kangxi periods, the cabinet handled government affairs, and the Yongzheng period set up a military aircraft department. As the decision-making body of the Zanxiang Emperor, power was increasingly concentrated in the emperor. Although the Council of Ministers continued to exist, the politics discussed were limited to specific matters such as military affairs, the emperor's patrol, flag affairs, ethnic minority affairs, and major criminal cases, and had nothing to do with military affairs. In other words, these people have basically become a model, and the power of the Qing Dynasty has been concentrated in the hands of the emperor through the efforts of Kangxi, Yongzheng, and Qianlong.

It is worth mentioning that these ministers are not willing to act as mascots. From time to time, he also found some opportunities to try to restore the glory of the Eight Kings; The reason why King Lijun was able to inherit the title was precisely because his brother Honghui contacted the Eight Iron Hat Kings in the early years of Qianlong and wanted to use the Eight Kings to usurp the throne, and was arrested and imprisoned after the matter was exposed, so he picked up a bargain; When these things happened, Hongming was already an adult, and he was clear about what happened, and those iron hat kings had a respected status, even if they were involved in the case, Qianlong couldn't put them to death, so he had to stop and dismiss them and punish them slightly. but let them survive the catastrophe safely.

Prince Zhuang Yunlu, Prince Lu Yunyi, Prince Yi Hongxiao, Prince Guo Hongzhan, Prince He Hongday, Prince Yu Guanglu, Prince Xian Yanhuang, Xinjun Wang Dezhao, Hongming's brain was moving quickly, counting the background of these princes one by one, to see if they could choose the right candidate for cooperation!

First of all, Prince Zhuang Yunlu, he is the sixteenth son of Kangxi and the sixteenth uncle of Hongming; During the Yongzheng period, he was quite favored and trusted, and successively served as the blue flag, the inlaid white flag, and the yellow flag. In the first year of Qianlong, he served as the Minister of Prime Minister's Affairs. He is also in charge of the affairs of the Ministry of Labor, and eats the prince's double salary. When Qianlong was four years old, he was involved in Honghui's rebellion and was suspended. After retiring from the capital, he has been idle at home since then, and now he is fifty-five in his sixties. Although he has no position, Yunlu has a high rank and has a lot of prestige in the clan, and he will inevitably have a grudge against Qianlong after his resignation, so this person may be able to fight for it.

Prince Yun Yi is older. The preface is the twelfth son of Kangxi, who is now seventy-five years old, and is deeply trusted by Qianlong, and once left him as the prime minister of the capital when Qianlong was on patrol. However, three years ago, he had been dismissed from the affairs of the Zongren Mansion by Qianlong and went home to retire, so I am afraid that he would have been old and confused at such an age. There are not a few days to live, and it is not appropriate to look for him when it comes to confidentiality.

Prince Yi Hongxiao, his father is the thirteenth son of Kangxi, the ninth iron hat king Yunxiang of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, since the establishment of the Manchu Dynasty, only eight princes who have made great contributions to the founding of the country do not need to be demoted to inherit the title and are called "iron hat kings", Yunxiang became the ninth person to be seen in the favor. It is a pity that he did not inherit his father's outstanding political talents, but fell in love with the collection of books, and it is said that he was recently in a hot fight with a down-and-out literati named Cao Xueqin, who could not be entrusted with great things.

Prince Guo Hongzhan is Qianlong's youngest brother, only twenty-seven years old this year, this is a spoiled guy, living out of the evil in a novel, accumulating money, robbing men and women are all evil, Qianlong looked at his love when he was a child and ignored his crimes, but the care has been almost consumed. Hongming was a little hesitant about how to deal with this person, it was said that this person was not suitable to be an ally, but if his irascible temperament was used properly, he might be surprised.

Thinking of the time with the prince Hongshi, Hongshi smiled bitterly, this person is the fifth son of Yongzheng, his brain is not clear, he likes to do funerals and eat sacrifices at home when he has nothing to do, and he doesn't know what Yongzheng thinks, and he will write him in the edict.

Prince Yu Guanglu is the grandson of Kangxi's elder brother Fuquan, a generation higher than him, before Prince Zheng served as the president of the Jade Pavilion, and is now the commander of the Zhenglan Banner Manchuria and the Zongren Mansion. This person is in charge of the Zongren Mansion and has military power in his hands, and Hongshi drew a circle of Guanglu's name in his heart.

Prince Xian Yanhuang is the grandson of Hauge, and his family has not held important positions for several generations, but only served as some idle errands to survive, and his intentions for court politics can be ignored. Yongzheng included his name in the edict, perhaps because he took a fancy to his identity as the iron hat king, and used it to win over the other seven iron hat kings!

The last Xinjun Wang Dezhao is also an iron hat king, he is the fourth grandson of Duoduo, in the Yongzheng period as the right Zongzheng of the Zongren Mansion, and also managed the affairs of the three banners such as the Zhengbai Banner, which can be described as a high power, and has a lot of prestige among the generals of the Eight Banners, but unfortunately he is now sixty years old, and his health is not very good, and he has been recuperating at home for several years, and can only be used as an alternative.

"Amma Amma! What are you thinking? Yongzhong's voice woke him up from his thoughts.

"It's okay, that's all for today, you go to sleep! Remember that this matter should never be brought up in front of others! Hongming got up and packed his things and pushed the door out, obviously he already had a plan. (To be continued......)
