When the New Year's bell rang, the people of the capital bid farewell to the troubled first year of Taichang, ushered in the arrival of the first year of the apocalypse, and looked forward to a good new year. lā?(一)?

In the past year, there have been too many bad things, first Emperor Wanli and Emperor Taichang died in just three months, followed by the Red Pill case and the palace transfer case one after another, and then the chaotic party disputes in the court.

Li Hongyu knew that the Ming Dynasty had been declining after two hundred years, and its decline was inevitable, and the untimely death of Emperor Taichang undoubtedly added to the demise of the Ming Dynasty, which made the Ming Dynasty appear two young sons of heaven one after another, which in turn led to the suppression and containment of the monarchy by the vassals.

In his opinion, if you want to save the Ming Dynasty from fire and water, you must first solve the problem of land, for more than two hundred years, the royal family, nobles, officials, meritorious scholars and military households occupy a large amount of land that does not need to pay taxes, and the wealthy families are also desperately annexing land and trying to evade taxes, which is the root cause of the demise of the Ming Dynasty.

After all, the ancient society was an agrarian society, and in order to make the state power stable, it was necessary to ensure the rational distribution of land and avoid the concentration of land in the hands of certain strata, otherwise there would definitely be turmoil.

Obviously, after more than 200 years of ups and downs, the land ownership situation of the Ming Dynasty has reached the verge of social collapse, but the elites have shown the ugliness of insatiable greed, and are still desperately annexing land, regardless of the great danger brought by this.

Later generations will mention the Manchu Qing Dynasty as soon as they say that the Ming Dynasty perished, thinking that it was the brave and fierce Eight Banners soldiers who destroyed the Ming Dynasty, but Li Hongyu believes that the Ming Dynasty died on the land, which made the poor people who owned and lost the land bear a heavy burden, while the elite class who owned a lot of land was relaxed.

If according to the orthodox version, the Ming Dynasty died in Dashun, when Li Zicheng led the Dashun army into the city of Beijing, and Emperor Chongzhen hanged himself, the Ming Empire was actually dead.

The Southern Ming Dynasty was just a regime established by the exiled Ming Imperial Family, and it was the Southern Ming Dynasty that the Manchu Qing Dynasty destroyed, and it could not be confused with the Ming Empire.

Li Hongyu knows that the Ming Dynasty is difficult to return, and if the land problem is not solved, the Ming Dynasty cannot be saved from fire and water, but land is the most important wealth in ancient times, and it is not easy for Li Hongyu to fight its idea, I am afraid that it will be besieged by the court magnates at that time.

The building will be overwhelmed, and all Li Hongyu can do now is to follow the trend of history and wait for the day of the demise of the Ming Dynasty, and make every effort to expand his power in order to protect himself.

Therefore, Li Hongyu looked at these changes in the capital very indifferently, and his mood could be described as undisturbed.

It is worth mentioning that Emperor Tianqi issued a holy decree a year ago, not only agreed with Zhang Sheng's investigation results, but also stopped Empress Dowager Li's title of "Empress Dowager" because his mother was "abused" by Empress Dowager Li, and made her repent under the training of Empress Dowager Zheng.

At the same time, Princess Zhu Huiyuan of Le'an was raised by "Dong Li" and moved to live in Qingning Palace.

In the face of this result, Empress Dowager Li, who had already looked down on the fame and fortune in life, was very indifferent, and did not show the slightest anger, she knew that this was not the original intention of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, and she did not mind if her reputation could help the Emperor of the Apocalypse.

However, when Zhu Huiyuan was taken away by Wei Zhongxian from Cining Palace, looking at Zhu Huiyuan who was crying with pear blossoms and rain, Empress Dowager Li couldn't help but shed tears, and now the only thing that can make her worry about her in this world is Zhu Huiyuan.

Empress Dowager Li naturally wanted to keep Zhu Huiyuan by her side, but it was obvious that Zhu Huiyuan could be better cared for and educated in Qingning Palace than in Cining Palace, so she could only let her leave.

Before leaving, Empress Dowager Li was worried that Zhu Huiyuan would be jealous of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, so she told her that she was to blame, and as for the truth of the matter, Zhu Huiyuan would naturally know when she grew up.

Empress Dowager Li naturally would not have thought that just a few years later, her reputation would be rehabilitated by Emperor Tianqi, and she would be able to be with Zhu Huiyuan again.

If there is anything to be happy about Li Hongyu in the past year, it is undoubtedly the civil strife in Houjin, and the protagonists of the incident are Nurhachi's second son, Daishan, who was named the Great Beyler, and Nurhachi's concubine Abahai, also known as the "Concubine Incident".

Unlike the Ming Dynasty, due to the poor living environment of Houjin, in order to continue the offspring, there is a custom of accepting step-marriage, which means that after the death of the father, the son can marry all the women except the father except the mother.

Therefore, the elderly Nurhachi considered marrying Abahai after his death, and since Nurhachi's idea was not a secret, not only Daishan and Abahai knew about it, but many people also knew about it.

In the forty-eighth year of Wanli, that is, in the fifth year of the Later Jin Heavenly Mandate, Abahai's two personal maids quarreled over a trivial matter and scolded each other for being bohemian and uninhibited, and the red apricot went out of the wall.

This happened to be known to Nurhachi's little concubine Deinze, so she reported the matter to Nurhachi, believing that there was a danger to the ** court.

So the minister of Nurhachi ordered the minister to investigate the matter, and it turned out that Abahai had agreed that one of the maids had given a piece of emerald blue cloth to his lover.

Nurhachi had made a strict prohibition that all concubines who gave a piece of cloth or satin to another woman without his consent were deliberately deceiving, and if they gave cloth to a man, they were devoted to that man.

The maid gave her lover an emerald blue cloth in clear violation of Nurhachi's prohibition, and as a result, Nurhachi ordered the maid's lover to be executed.

Originally, it was only a trivial matter for Abahai to pity her maid and give her a piece of cloth to her lover, but who would have thought that Deinze further reported that the eldest concubine Abahai had twice prepared delicacies for Da Baylor, and the big Baylor accepted them and ate them, and also prepared delicacies for Si Belle but the four Baylors did not eat them.

In addition to this, Deinze also revealed that Abahai sent people to the house of the Great Belle two or three times a day to discuss important matters, and even left the palace late at night two or three times.

Nurhachi was very angry when he learned of Deinze's report, and thought that the eldest concubine Abahai had an affair with his favorite heir Daishan for his future status, and put a green hat on him!

Therefore, Nurhachi was furious and asked his henchmen to launch a secret investigation into this indecent incident.

The Great Belle Daishan was born to Tong Jiashi, the wife of Nurhachi's knot, and the four major Baylors of the Later Jin, the four Baylors are equivalent to the four princes of later generations, but they are more powerful than the princes, which shows the dignity of Daishan's status.

As Nurhachi's second son, Dai Shan not only often fought in the south and north on behalf of Nurhachi, and made great achievements, but also had a gentle personality, which can be described as deeply expected.

Therefore, Nurhachi let Daishan command the two flags of Zhenghong and Red, and was the person who had the most troops in Houjin besides Nurhachi.

Nurhachi once said, "After I am a hundred years old, my sons and Dafujin will be handed over to the eldest brother for adoption." "Intended to pass on the throne to Daishan, so whenever he went out on an expedition or was not in the court, some important military affairs had to be reported to Daishan first.

After some secret investigation, the confidant minister came to the conclusion that all the things reported by Deinze were true.

Not only that, but there is an even more amazing private relationship between Abahai and Dai Shan, according to Abahai's maid Azigan, Abahai used to dress up at the family banquet and frequently make eye contact with Dai Shan.

Nurhachi was furious when he heard this result, but one was his eldest concubine, and the other was his favorite heir, and once the matter became big, it would have a great impact.

Therefore, Nurhachi still endured it, after all, the ugliness of the family should not be publicized, and if the matter spreads, it will be very unfavorable to the Aixin Jueluo family and Houjin.

After some weighing, Nurhachi rewarded Deinze and promoted Azigen to concubine, telling the two to keep the matter strictly secret.

In order to punish Alahai for his betrayal, Nurhachi ordered his confidant Erdeni to search Abahai's private collection of money and belongings, and found 300 satin horses and other items in the house of Abahai's son Azig.

So Nurhachi convicted him of stealing a lot of silk, python satin, gold, and silver with great fortune, and drove Abahai out of the palace.

No one knows the truth of the concubine incident, which makes future generations discuss it and produce two mainstream speculations.

There is a view that because Abahai knew that Nurhachi had his plan to entrust him to Daishan after a hundred years, he had an ambiguous relationship with Daishan and wanted to find a backer.

Another view is that Deinze sued Abahai because he was used by Huang Taiji to squeeze out Daishan and attack Abahai, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone, which not only caused Daishan to fall out of favor with Nurhachi, but also drove out the Dolgon brothers, who were strong contenders for the future throne.

In this way, Nurhachi's long-cherished concubine Abahai left the palace of Houjin, and began a silent and bleak life with fifteen-year-old Azig, eight-year-old Dorgon, and six-year-old Dordor.

However, Nurhachi still has feelings for the graceful Abahai, and it also shows that Abahai has a very clever skill that Nurhachi will never forget.

After calming down, Nurhachi realized that what Erdeni found out was not enough to convict Abahai of fornicating with Daishan, and realized that Abahai and Daishan were probably deliberately framed by others, so he felt remorse.

Therefore, in the sixth year of the Mandate of Heaven, Nurhachi recalled Abahai, who had been driven away for a year, after occupying Liaoyang, and reinstated him as a concubine.

This concubine incident shows that there is a fierce struggle within Houjin for the future throne, which is naturally good news for Daming.

For Li Hongyu, it was a good opportunity to take advantage of the internal layout of Houjin, and the undercover agent he sent out just took advantage of this golden opportunity to lurk and wait for the opportunity.
