Text Volume 3 The Road to Empire_Chapter 654 People's minds change
Although Haoge left Li Yangeng in the Dolgon Mansion, he still said to him with some reluctance: "Yingge, if there is no movement from Father Khan in the next few days, I will come to pick you up, okay?" Now, if you are not by my side, I will always feel empty in my heart. ”
Li Yangeng thought about it and whispered to Haoge: "I also hope that I think too much, if the King of Khan does not move within seven days, then you will come and take me back."
But if the Khan King makes a move, you must not come here to find me. If there is anything I can ask Xie San to bring to me, we have to be quiet for a while.
Baylor only needs to hold a charter, and he can ask Yang Shan and Omoktu for official affairs, and ask Big Baylor for good things for private matters, so he can worry about it. ”
After Hauge whispered to Li Yangeng, he hugged his fist at Dolgon, who was standing in the hall, and bowed before saying; "Please also ask Prince Rui to take care of Inge for a few days, and I will accept your favor."
Dolgon looked at Li Yangeng, who was standing there, and then at Hauge, and finally waved his sleeves impatiently and said, "If it's okay, Prince Su will take care of himself." It's not a relationship between you and me that can sit and talk for a long time, and you've been with me for a long time, and I'm afraid your guards will be unable to hold their breath and rush in. ”
Haug didn't say much, and just turned and left. As soon as he returned to the mansion, he saw Sonny and Ao Bai waiting for him in the living room. He suddenly greeted with some surprise: "Why did you two come here today, it's really a rare guest, isn't there a shortage of things that you sent home last time?" ”
Sonny and Ao Bai hurriedly got up, saluted Hauge with a smile on their faces and said, "We have been on duty in the palace these days, if it weren't for Prince Su at home to send someone to send something, it would be really bad." We are about to thank Prince Su for his kindness. ”
Haoge hurriedly stretched out his hands to help the two of them up, and said: "You are on an errand for your father, and I, as a son, can't share my worries for my father when I enter the palace, but I must help you solve your worries, so that you will not be distracted."
What is the difference between your family and mine, aren't you all people who work for your father's Khan? We don't have to be so polite at home, we all relax and use this place as our own place.
If there is anything inconvenient in your house, send someone to tell you, and I have commanded the steward to come and fetch whatever I have in my house. ”
Sonny and Ao Bai hurriedly bowed down again, and Sonny said again and again: "Don't dare, don't dare, how dare a slave be presumptuous in front of Prince Su, this is really a capital crime..."
And Ao Bai beside him was obviously moved by Haoge's words, and couldn't help but say excitedly: "Prince Su is the future master after all, and he is also the future Khan King of my Qing Dynasty, how dare the minions be presumptuous..."
Even people who are not sensitive enough like Hauge can hear it, although the two of them say the same words of gratitude, Sony is obviously polite, but Ao Bai really treats him as the future master.
Haoge really didn't expect that he followed Li Yangeng's advice and continued to take care of the guards around his father Khan in the past six months, but he didn't contact these guards themselves, but he could still have such an effect.
The guards around Huang Taiji were all the sons of the Mongolian nobles after the heroes, and some were the warriors of the middle and lower classes of the Eight Banners that he personally promoted. Although these people don't seem to have much power, except for protecting Huang Taiji himself when they go on the expedition, they are mainly responsible for the security of the palace on weekdays.
But behind these people, they are inextricably linked to the Eight Banners and the Mongolian tribes. It was through these guards that Huang Taiji controlled the Manchu Eight Banners and the Mongol tribes, weaving a political network.
Although Chongde was reformed, Huang Taiji abolished the system of the four major Baylor discussions and established a six-ministry official system to deal with state affairs. However, at this time, the six departments of the Manchu Qing Dynasty were still under the Council of the Kings, which were only six executive bodies, not the political center that really held the ruling power.
Even Huang Taiji himself often bypassed the Sixth Department and sent the guards around him out to run errands. This method was indeed a very effective supplementary measure to the crude bureaucratic system of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, which strengthened the power in the hands of Huang Taiji and also trained a group of officials who could do things.
But for the ministers of the Eight Banners and the officials of the six departments of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, these guards around the Khan King were as annoying as the brocade guards of the Ming Kingdom. After all, they all earned their status by fighting with a knife and a gun on the battlefield, and these young guards who had no "hair" on their mouths, just because they stayed by Huang Taiji's side for a few days, took Huang Taiji's warrant to show off their might in front of them, which was really unusual.
Hauge used to be the same as Yue Tuo, he was not used to looking at these guards around his father Khan, he felt that only warriors who stood out on the battlefield were worthy of admiration, and these young guards who had never even been to the battlefield had the qualifications to move out of the system established by their father Khan in front of him to prevent him from entering the palace for an audience. If you really want to talk about it, you are also their future master.
However, under Li Yangeng's persuasion, he finally understood a truth, there is only one master of these guards, and that is his father Khan. Talking about what kind of future master he was in front of his father Khan was no different from looking for death.
As long as he didn't sit on the antler chair in the Chongzheng Palace, then he was nothing in the eyes of these guards. Therefore, instead of putting up a fight in front of these guards, it is better to apply some water grinding skills and start from the hearts of the people.
With a large amount of property obtained by Li Yangeng, and a large amount of money borrowed from Fan Yongdou by the shopkeeper of the Sihai Trading Company on his behalf, Haoge's current assets are not a small amount.
Except for Dai Shan and the palace, the wealth in his hands can almost overshadow the princes of the Eight Banners. Even Dolgon and Yueto were inferior to him. Of course, most of these belongings were managed by Li Yangeng and the Sihai Trading Company, and only a small part was stored in his Suwang Mansion.
In order to conceal this wealth, Hauge also opened an account with the Central Bank of Daming. Compared with the "integrity" of his father Khan, Hauge is more willing to believe in the credit of the Ming Central Bank, and this wealth is also earned for him by the Ming people anyway.
And he also knew that he was not the only one in Shenyang City who did this. Except for his aunt and mother-in-law, Mang Guzigege, who didn't trust the central bank of the Ming Dynasty, thinking that once the war between the two countries resumed, the Ming people would swallow up her money, so he held the wealth tightly in his own hands, and even his son-in-law was reluctant to borrow it.
So he was served by his father Khan, thinking of the property that Mang Guzige had worked so hard to accumulate, and now they have become the property of the palace, Haoge couldn't help but feel distressed for a while.
In fact, what Haoge doesn't know now is that after Huang Taiji Ling delayed Manggu Jigege, the children of the clan and the Manchu relatives and nobles who had not dealt with Huang Taiji in the past began to get nervous and find a way back for themselves.
You must know that there was no deep hatred between Huang Taiji and Mang Guzi Gege before, and on the first day of the first month of this year, Huang Taiji also personally went to Mang Gujigege's house to pay New Year's greetings, let Mang Guji Gege sit on the main seat, and knelt down and kowtowed to say goodbye, showing how the king of Khan attaches great importance to family affection.
However, before the year had passed, the younger brother had killed his sister, and even though Mangguzi Gege had discussed with his two younger brothers about murdering the Khan, the younger brother's reaction was too violent.
This is still the case between sisters and brothers who seem to have a good relationship on weekdays, and these people who are more estranged from Huang Taiji on weekdays, and those who have supported the other three Baylors at the beginning, naturally began to worry about whether this Khan King was going to settle accounts with him.
After all, the relationship between the Qing Dynasty and the Ming Kingdom is no longer as bad as it was more than ten years ago. In the past, even if the Manchus wanted to flee from Houjin, the Ming Kingdom was not a good choice, because the border troops and people of the Ming Kingdom had already hated the Manchus to death, and when they encountered this kind of fugitive Manchus sent to the door, they would not only not accept it, but would cut off their heads to ask for a reward.
However, after the Sihai Trading Company opened up a trade route between the two countries, the relationship between the Manchus and the Han people in the trade between the two sides was not as bad as before. After the Ming State abolished the system of judging military merits by head, the border army of the Ming State was much more disciplined than before.
In particular, the treatment received after the surrender of Zhenglanqi to the Ming Dynasty made the Manchus no longer so afraid and hateful of the Ming Kingdom. In the eyes of some people, the Ming Kingdom has become a back road. Even if you can't stay in the Ming Kingdom, you can go overseas through the Ming Kingdom and live in a place that has nothing to do with the Han people in Liaodong.
For example, Da Belle Daishan began to plan to transfer part of his property, lest this younger brother who did not recognize his six relatives attack him, he could only wait for death in Shenyang City.
And Yue Tuo was also thinking about it, but he didn't think about himself, he grew up with Huang Taiji, and he felt that no matter how bad King Khan was, he would not attack him. But he was worried that Huang Taiji would do something to his wife, and he felt that he could probably save his wife's life if he lived, but if he had any accidents, he would still let his wife leave Shenyang to live safely.
Of course, behind the consideration of these Manchurian relatives and nobles, it also means a fact. Even Dai Shan, Yue Tuo and others all thought that it was an impossible plan for the Manchus to enter the Guannai and destroy the Ming Dynasty.
Therefore, they set up their back road in the Ming Dynasty, and they did not have to worry about being chased and killed by Huang Taiji. However, this is also the most helpless choice, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, they are not willing to go to the Ming Dynasty to live a life under the fence.
At this time, Haoge did not feel this kind of change in Shenyang City, and he was full of thoughts at the moment about how to deal with his father Khan's suspicion of him.
Hauge stopped the two of them from saluting again, and after getting them to change to hot tea, Sonny explained to Hauge the intention of the two: "The master heard that a Korean Confucian came to Prince Su's mansion to teach Prince Su to read and write, and it seems that the results are very good.
The master has always cared about the education of his children, but he suffers from the lack of "colorful" teachers. After hearing about this, he ordered the two of us to come over, and wanted to invite this great Confucian into the palace to talk about educating his children and beylors.
Because we are going to live in the palace for a few days, so by the way, the two of us took the things that this gentleman is used to every day, I don't know what Prince Su thinks? ”
Haorge paused for a moment, and then replied very politely: "Since it is the order of the father Khan, how dare the son disobey?" Please wait, I will order someone to ask Mr. Ding to come out. ”
Sonny hurriedly stopped: "The master is in a hurry, why don't we go to see Mr. Ding, and take his belongings back to the palace to resume his life." ”
Ao Bai was silent, but he lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Hauge. Sonny is also a little upset in his heart, he knows that this Prince Su has always been difficult to speak, although he has changed his "sex" in the past half a year, but his unkind words may not necessarily annoy the eldest son of the Khan King.
However, to the surprise of the two, Hauge, who has always been known for his short temper, still remained calm, and instead comforted the two: "Since it is a sweat, it should be like this." Come with me. ”
Sonny breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and hurriedly followed Hauge, what the two didn't notice was that Hauge's hands hidden in his sleeves had been pinched and bruised, obviously Hauge was not so calm in accepting his father's order in his heart.
