Chapter 985: The Crown Prince of the Great Qing Kingdom
As a Han Chinese, Fan Wencheng was not qualified to participate in the establishment of the crown prince of the Great Qing Kingdom, but Huang Taiji still found Fan Wencheng, and after Dai Shan left the Chongzheng Palace, Fan Wencheng entered the Chongzheng Palace.
Huang Taiji has made up his mind, but strictly speaking, he is the first emperor of the Great Qing Kingdom, and he is very cautious and necessary in the matter of establishing the crown prince, which is also for the subsequent development of the Great Qing Kingdom.
The reason why he talked to Fan Wencheng about the crown prince is that the main purpose of Huang Taiji is to let Fan Wencheng assist Haoge very well, and try his best to put forward some good suggestions and opinions on key matters and at critical times.
When Fan Wencheng was about to kneel down and salute, Huang Taiji stopped him, he still stood in place and supported Fan Wencheng, which made Fan Wencheng grateful, and everyone would be moved to get such trust and courtesy.
Huang Taiji said very directly, telling Fan Wencheng that he had made a decision to establish Haoge as the crown prince of the Qing Kingdom, hoping that Fan Wencheng could assist Haoge very well, Huang Taiji bluntly said about Haoge's shortcomings, including Haoge's temper is a little irritable, thinking about problems often tends to be simple, does not like to think about complex problems, lacks a certain degree of coordination ability, etc., but these deficiencies have time to be corrected.
After Huang Taiji finished speaking, Fan Wencheng still knelt down.
The words that Huang Taiji said are quite meaningful, that is, the meaning of making Fan Wencheng an auxiliary minister, for a Han person, it is not a simple thing to be able to get such a high trust and entrustment from Huang Taiji, think about the Ming Dynasty. Every term of the ministers of Tuogu is a barbarian at home and abroad, they are all great people, and they are also the emperor's most trusted ministers, and the auxiliary ministers of the Ming Dynasty are all Han Chinese. It is impossible to have a strange appearance.
After all, the Great Qing Kingdom is the Great Qing Kingdom of the Manchus, and it is probably a miracle that a Han person can become an auxiliary minister.
Thinking of this, it was impossible for Fan Wencheng not to be moved, he choked up and opened his mouth, saying that he would do his best to assist the crown prince, and he would do his best to die.
After Fan Wencheng left, Haoge entered the Chongzheng Palace.
This time. Huang Taiji asked Haoge to kneel, his expression was very serious, and he looked at Haoge for a while.
"Haoge, I have made a decision to make you the crown prince of my Great Qing Kingdom."
Hauge, who was kneeling on the ground, trembled a little, although he said that he had such a thought for a long time, but when the matter really came. He still had trouble controlling his emotions.
Seeing Haoge whose body trembled, Huang Taiji frowned slightly. didn't show any dissatisfied expressions, whoever encounters such a thing will be excited, not to mention that the Manchus of the Great Qing Kingdom, there are few people who hide their emotions, and there is nothing happy about. Most of it is shown on the face.
"Hauge, being an emperor is not such a simple thing, I have a lot to say, I want to talk to you, but I have changed my mind. You are not young, you have a lot of understanding, some of them have been fixed, I said, I'm afraid it won't have much effect, but I want to warn you two points, let you know that this Emperor Zuo is not doing whatever he wants. ”
"The first point, you must be able to endure grievances, you are shouldering the heavy responsibility of the prosperity of the Great Qing Dynasty, in order to achieve this goal, you must have comprehensive thinking, and you must be able to listen to the opinions and suggestions of the Great Qing Dynasty, although sometimes, these suggestions may stab your self-esteem, especially in my Great Qing Kingdom, there are some Manchu nobles, who look down on the Han people, and think that the Han people are slaves of the Manchus, they will not understand, with hundreds of thousands of Manchus, how can it be possible to revitalize my Great Qing Kingdom, your temper is not good, I am very worried about this, I am afraid that you will not be able to bear the grievances, resulting in not being able to listen to opinions and suggestions. ”
"The second point is to use power sparingly. Many people think that being an emperor is to grasp the power of life and death, and can take people's lives at will, in fact, that is a misunderstanding, I have never felt this way, even if I want to deal with someone, it must be carefully considered, and I will never make a decision easily, I know very well that every time I make a decision, there are many people who look at me to see if I have dealt with it impartially, if I have too many things that I have not done well, what I have lost is the support of a large layer of people. ”
"I just want to tell you these two points, the rest of the things, you have to understand it yourself, once I make you the crown prince, you can't personally participate in the expedition, unless it is a special situation, you need to be in the palace, assist me in handling many matters, you need to adapt as quickly as possible."
"I hope that you can use the fastest speed to deal with the affairs of the imperial court and the affairs of the Great Qing Kingdom."
"I especially remind you, you must know people well, you must get the support of the vast majority of people, only in this way, can you really handle the affairs of the court, Fan Wencheng's ability, you know the Tao, I have specially entrusted Fan Wencheng, to help you more, you also have to ask for more opinions, don't think that Fan Wencheng is Han, in terms of personal ability, the Han people's ability to act in government affairs is stronger than many Manchurians."
On April 11 of the seventh year of Chongde, Huang Taiji convened the ministers and officially crowned the crown prince.
Time is such a coincidence, seven years ago today, that is, on April 11 of the ninth year of Chongzhen, Huang Taiji officially proclaimed himself emperor in Shenyang, changed the Yuan Chongde, and established the Great Qing Dynasty.
Seven years have passed, a lot of things have happened, the Qing Dynasty has not become as strong as Huang Taiji imagined, and it has become an unattainable dream to enter the Central Plains.
This situation cannot continue.
Huang Taiji felt that the appointment of the crown prince would be able to stabilize the foundation of the Great Qing Dynasty, and by taking advantage of such an opportunity, the Great Qing Kingdom would definitely be able to achieve tremendous development.
The ceremony of canonizing the emperor's Taiji is not very complicated.
Huang Taiji does not particularly pay attention to form, he pays more attention to reality.
Dai Shan led many princes, county kings, Baylor and Beizi to bow to Haoge, and Fan Wencheng led many Han ministers to bow to Haoge.
Hauge controlled his emotions very well, and did not show a smug demeanor.
During the whole ceremony, Huang Taiji paid special attention to the expressions of Dolgon, Duoduo, Azig and others, and what he saw made him not very satisfied, and even worried.
There was no expression on Dorgon's face, no emotion could be seen, and there was a trace of unconvinced expression on Dorgon's face, and as for Azig, he was not only unconvinced, but even angry.
This is not a good situation, Dolgon's ability is not ordinary, and among the Manchurian nobles, there are also many people who support him, especially Dorgon, who controls the inlaid white flag and can give Dolgon the greatest support, if Hauge is not able to control the court in a short period of time and correct his own defects, even if he ascends the throne after the Emperor Taiji Dragon returns to the sky, he may not be able to stabilize the situation of the Great Qing Kingdom.
Appointed Haoge as the crown prince, this matter, Huang Taiji did not discuss with Dolgon, Jierharang, who was far away in the capital of the Ming Dynasty, all knew about this matter, and Huang Taiji sent a letter to Jierharang, and Jierharang also fully expressed his support, saying that he would spare no effort to assist Haoge.
Huang Taiji also thought about discussing with Dolgon, but some of Dolgon's unprincipled practices made Huang Taiji feel cold, and he didn't want to exchange such an important opinion with Dolgon.
Huang Taiji, who is not in good health, can only beg God for blessing, he can live a few more years, guide Haoge to act in the court, and let Haoge get familiar with all the things in the court as soon as possible.
The ceremony of canonizing the crown prince also included Hauge's visit to the queen's mother.
Haoge's mother is Huang Taiji's step-concubine Wulanala clan, not the queen's mother, which also involves the affairs of the harem, after Haoge succeeds to the throne in the future, how to treat the queen's mother, let Haoge go to meet the queen's mother, in fact, it is also to let Haoge get the support of the harem, Haoge was canonized as the crown prince, the status of the Wulanala clan must have changed dramatically, the mother is more expensive than the son, whether it is the Ming Dynasty, or the Qing Dynasty, it is the same reason.
The ceremony of canonizing the crown prince lasted for half a day.
Huang Taiji did not have a lot of hype, and even to a certain extent, announced the secrecy, of course, Haoge became the crown prince, this news, sooner or later, it will be publicized, but not now, because Zierharang is still in the capital of the Ming Dynasty, such news leaked out, I am afraid it will cause a bad impact.
Of course, Huang Taiji also has the time, in fact, the ceremony of canonizing Huang Taiji can be carried out in March, but at that time, the negotiations between the Qing Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty have not yet reached the end of the time, until the beginning of April, all the negotiations are over, and Jilharang will soon leave the capital of the Ming Dynasty.
The time when the propaganda really began, that is, the time when Zilharang returned to Shenyang.
The fact that Haoge became the crown prince of the Qing Dynasty spread quickly, after all, this is a big matter, it is impossible to conceal it, besides, not only the Manchu nobles are concerned, but even many Han people are also highly concerned about this matter, who succeeds the emperor, what kind of character is it, how will the Manchus and Han people be treated, this involves everyone's personal interests.
Huang Taiji did not stop the spread of the news, at this time, Zierharang had already left the capital of Daming and set off to return to Shenyang, and Huang Taiji had nothing to worry about. (To be continued......)
