"Aobai, what do you want to do?" Zilharang also stood up and asked.

Today's meeting was a meeting attended by Daishan and Dolgon, Zilharang and other princes of Heshuo, the king of Dorojun, Dorobelle, Gushan Beizi and Gushan Ezhen of various ethnic groups.

Zilharang is Aobai's top boss, and he has always admired this subordinate, fighting bravely and performing outstandingly, and he is the first warrior in Manchu who was personally given the title of Baturu by Huang Taiji. His reprimands were more to protect this subordinate.

Ao Bai didn't seem to be interested, he strode forward, stood in the tent, and said loudly, "Sonny and I are both from the two yellow flags, and I heard that the prince Baylor is here to discuss and promote the new emperor, and he risked his life to break in, just to tell you a word on behalf of the soldiers of the two yellow flags." ”

Sonny also stepped forward at this time, he pressed the knife on his waist, and said very boldly, "The first emperor has a prince, and he will establish one of them, and we don't care about anything else!" ”

"Presumptuous, what qualifications do you have to break in and say these things?" Dorgon shouted angrily.

Although Ao Bai was subordinate to Zilharang in this battle, he was a man with a yellow banner, born in the Guarjia clan, the grandson of Suan tribe patriarch Suoerguo, and the nephew of Fei Yingdong, one of the five founding ministers. In the inlaid yellow flag, he is also a first-class Mel Zhangjing, in the current two yellow flags of the banner owner Huang Taiji, the two yellow flags of the two solid mountains Ezhen Turge and Ying Erdai with the emperor after the death of the war, Ao Bai this first-class Mel Zhangjing in the inlaid yellow flag has a very high status.

In particular, he and Sony are the original Huang Taiji's henchmen.

At this time, they naturally had to speak on behalf of the two yellow flags. They were absolutely unwilling to accept an election meeting without the representatives of the Three Banners, especially now that Dolgon was in the ascendancy, and there had been many years of grievances and contradictions between the two Yellow Flags and the Two White Flags, and they did not want to see Dolgon become emperor.

"The new emperor must be the son of the first emperor!" Sonny, Aobai and the others shouted again, and then turned to leave.

"It's just presumptuous!" Dolgon was furious, he didn't expect that these people would dare to come out and say such things. And so it goes. It was very disadvantageous for Dorgon. Originally, he also thought that he would promote the new emperor in Jinzhou with Zierharang and Daishan, and take the opportunity to exclude Haoge from the election meeting and the two yellow flags from this meeting.

But now that Ao Bai and Sony are making such a fuss, things have changed.

Huang Taiji has been in power for more than ten years, and now the situation is no better than when Huang Taiji first succeeded to the throne, many people in the Eight Banners support Huang Taiji, and now they also support Huang Taiji's son to succeed to the throne.

Huang Taiji has many sons, but there is only one Haoge who is an adult, which actually means that he wants to support Haoge as the emperor.

Hauge is Dolgon's nephew, but he is actually three years older than Dorgon. Back in the time of Nurhachi. Hauge was already charging on the battlefield. And Hauge is not just a martial artist, he has also had a unique vision in the strategic relationship between the Ming Dynasty and North Korea and the Mongolian Chahar.

Hauge often played with Ergon, who was the same age, often with Dorgon as the commander and Hauge as the deputy, such as the heirloom jade seal obtained from Mongolia, which was obtained by the two together. However, although they have been partners for many years, the uncle and nephew have never established any friendship between life and death.

Hauge never obeyed Dorgon, and Dorgon always regarded Haug as an important opponent.

After driving away the six people with the two yellow flags, such as Ao Bai and Sonny. There was no one in the big tent who went up to the three banners.

The atmosphere in the tent was a little tense and heavy for a while.

At this time, Azig, the king of Wuyingjun, immediately broke the silence, and he stood up, "I propose that Prince Rui succeed him!" ”

Azig was one of the four younger Belles of the original Babel reign, and was also the elder brother of Dorgon's mother. At this time, he naturally spoke for his brother. As soon as his words fell, Duoduo, the king of Yujun, immediately supported and agreed, and he was also the brother of Dolgon's mother. is still the owner of the white flag, and of course he also supports his brother's succession at this time.

Dolgon was looking at the expressions of Dai Shan, Zilharang and the others, and Dai Shan sat there like an old monk. But it is obvious that he refuses to support it, and Zilharang has a good relationship with Huang Taiji, and he refuses to agree at this time.

The two yellow flags have clearly opposed his succession, and the blue flag is even more unlikely to support him, if the two red and blue flags do not support it again, it will be difficult for Dolgon to succeed to the throne.

Dolgon regretted that he had initiated the election meeting at this time, and he should have done more to prepare, at least to get Zilharang over first. But now it's too late to regret it, and the arrow is on the bow.

Zilharang and Daishan did not express their support, but Dolgon did not dare to accept it, and it was useless to accept it.

Seeing that Dorgon had been silent and noncommittal, Duoduo couldn't help but say loudly, "If you don't want to, then make me emperor, and my name is also in the edict of Taizu." ”

Dolgon snorted coldly, "You are not the only one in the Taizu Edict. Moreover, at that time, at this time, how can they speak on the same day? ”

These words are a clear refutation of Dodor.

"Since I can't do it, and you don't want to, then I will be the longest, and I will be the prince of Lili." Dodor said suddenly, this is to test the attitude of the old fox for Dorgon.

Daishan is the second son of Nurhachi, the elder brother of Huang Taiji, and he is the longest surviving in Huang Taiji's generation.

Daishan knew very well that he would not be able to succeed to the throne, and that Dorgon would not support it, and Hauge and Zilharang might not support it. In fact, he was also opposed to Dolgon's succession, preferring Hauge to succeed him, after all, he was deposed by Dorgon's mother, and later he killed Abahai. On the contrary, he once supported Huang Taiji to succeed him, and if he succeeded Haoge, his status would not change, and he might even rise.

Dai Shan said, "I am the elder brother of the former emperor, half a hundred years old, half of my body into the ground, I am old." When the emperor was here, I rarely participated in state affairs, and now I can still accept your nomination to be the emperor. ”

Then he added: "If Prince Rui agrees to succeed to the throne, it will of course be a blessing for the country. Dai Shan said with a smile, "But since he doesn't want to, then he should make a prince." Hauge is the eldest son of the emperor, and he should be appointed. ”

After speaking, Dai Shan got up and left the venue.

At this time, Dolgon asked the Gushan Ezhen, who led the military government under the banners, to take a stand.

The five Gushan Ezhen, who were two white and two red, and the blue flag, all took off their swords and stepped forward, holding their swords and saying, "We people eat in the emperor and wear in the emperor." The emperor's nurturing grace to us is as great as heaven, and if we do not appoint the emperor's son, we would rather follow the emperor underground. ”

Gushan Ezhen was selected by Huang Taiji to appoint the military and political ministers of each banner to lead the military and political affairs of one banner, which was selected by the emperor. They are second only to the banner owners and are only responsible to the emperor, so these people are loyal to the emperor and support the succession of the emperor.

At this time, he publicly stated his attitude and wanted to support the succession of the prince.

It came to this point that Dolgon had come as a big surprise.

It's too late to say anything.

Dai Shan left the scene at this time. That is to say, he also supports the succession of the prince and his attitude cannot be changed.

Dolgon was very unwilling to let Hauge succeed to the throne, when Huang Taiji succeeded to the throne, forcibly replaced the two yellow flags of the three brothers with two white flags, if Hauge succeeded to the throne again, I was afraid that the two white flags of the three brothers would be cut again.

But now everyone has expressed their attitude, and two white flags alone will not change the result.

Dorgon pondered deeply, and suddenly he thought of a solution.

He immediately followed suit. "What you said is very reasonable, our Qing Dynasty is no longer the time of the Later Jin Khanate, and now it is the Qing Dynasty, and everything should be in accordance with the formal etiquette system. The emperor is in a big line. Then the father should die and the son should succeed, not the brother and the brother, and I am also in favor of the prince succeeding to the throne. ”

Then he added, "Since we are now succeeded by the death of the Father and the Son. Then the primogeniture law should also be introduced. There are grandchildren, but there are no grandchildren, and there are not long-term children. Standing long is not virtuous. ”

"The first emperor and concubine died early and had no children, and the queen of the middle palace also had no children."

"Next, the harem was valued by the four palace concubines, and the concubine of Guan Sui Palace, Hai Borzigit, gave birth to a son, but died at the age of two. The concubine of Lintoe Palace, Borzigit Namu Zhong has no children. The concubine of Yanqing Palace, Borzigit, Batma, had no children. ”

"Concubine Zhuang of Yongfu Palace, Borzigit Bumu Butai, has a son Fulin."

Dolgon commented on Huang Taiji's harem, and everyone found out that this was indeed the case. If you want to talk about the establishment of a successor, you can only establish the ninth son of the emperor.

Although Haoge is the eldest son of the emperor, his wife is neither the original concubine, nor the current queen of the middle palace, and even the imperial concubine of the fourth palace is not ranked.

If the son is more expensive than the mother, Hauge's inheritance is not as good as Fulin.

But Fulin is only three years old this year, and Hauge is thirty.

But Dolgon just took advantage of the fact that Daishan and Hauge were not there, and took advantage of this loophole to agree to the establishment of the prince, but if he continued to want the father to die and the son to succeed, then he should also establish a successor, and the eldest son would naturally be blessed. After all, Fulin's old lady Concubine Zhuang is the fifth in the palace.

At this time, no one stood up to refute it, and no one proposed that only the queen's son was considered a concubine, the Jurchens had more than one wife, they were polygamous and multiple concubines, although the queen had the highest status, but the concubines of the four palaces below were also considered to be concubines, and their sons were naturally considered concubines.

Hauge is unlucky, his wife is not a wife, so he can only be regarded as a concubine.

As for Fu Lin is only three years old, this is easy to solve.

"Fu Lin is young, but he can be assisted by the fourth prince, and when he reaches adulthood, we will return to government." Instead of having a monopoly on the right of auxiliaries, Dorgon proposed that Fu Lin succeed him as emperor, but with the assistance of the four princes, so as to balance the situation. He also proposed that the four auxiliary princes be crowned auxiliary princes.

His proposal fulfilled the wishes of the Shangsanqi and Wugushan Ezhen to establish a prince.

"We are willing to support the Nine Emperor Princes to succeed to the throne!" The five Gushan Ezhen expressed their position.

Dolgon nodded with satisfaction and turned to look at Zilharang, "Prince Zheng, what do you think?" ”

Zilharang didn't expect that the situation was twists and turns, and finally the three-year-old Fulin was brought out. But after thinking about it, the result of this compromise is not bad, if he really insists on supporting Hauge, he is afraid that things will change. In the current situation, the Qing Dynasty should be united and stable, and there should be no internal strife.

Thinking of this, he nodded, "I also support the Nine Emperor Princes to succeed to the throne. ”

Dolgon sent people to bring Aobai, Sonny and other generals of the two yellow flags to them, and announced to them on the spot the result of the election of the ninth son of the emperor, Fu Lin, as the emperor.

Sonny and Ao Bai and others were also surprised, everyone originally intended to choose Haoge, although the result is a bit surprising now, but they thought about it, this result is not bad, at least the throne is still on the three banners, is the son of the emperor.

"We support this decision."

Dolgon smiled, "Very good, come on, go and invite Prince Li to come." ”

Dai Shan was invited over again, and when he learned that Fu Lin was elected as the emperor, his first reaction was to oppose it, but when he heard that Fu Lin was appointed as the emperor and the fourth prince was added as the auxiliary king, Dai Shan hesitated again.

After pondering for a long time, Dai Shan saw that Zilharang and Gegu Ezhen, as well as the kings of the counties and Baylor present also supported it, and finally nodded and agreed to this result.

In this way, the matter was settled, in the absence of Hauge, under the auspices of Dolgon, Daishan and Zilharang and others, they finally elected the ninth son of the emperor Fulin as the emperor, and the prince of Heshuoli Daishan, the prince of Heshuorui Dolgon, the prince of Heshuo Zheng Zierharang, and the prince of Heshuo Su Haoge were all crowned as auxiliary kings, and before the emperor became a year, the four auxiliary princes assisted the government until the emperor returned to power when he became an adult.

"Now, the new emperor has been elected." Immediately after the election meeting, Dolgon convened the general meeting of the Qing army in western Liaoning. "Let's talk about what to do next."

Dai Shan, as one of the four auxiliary political kings, proposed to immediately wave his army back to Shenyang. Zilharang proposed that he lead an army to continue the attack on Ningyuan, and Duoduo proposed to attack Liaoyang.

"I think the top priority at the moment is to negotiate peace with the Southern Dynasty first." Dorgon said slowly.

"Peace?" Neither Daishan nor Zilharan could accept it.

"Of course, it's not really a peace negotiation, it's a war while making peace, and a strategy to delay the army." Dolgon said, "Let's negotiate peace with the Southern Dynasty first, let the Ming army stop sending troops, first let Liaoxi cease fighting, and stabilize the Songjin cities we occupy now, and then we can draw troops and horses to deal with Liu Jiye with all our strength and repel him." ”

"It means that if we pretend to negotiate peace, we actually want to deceive the Southern Dynasty into no longer sending troops outside the border, and then we will go all out to encircle and fight Liu Jiye?" Duoduo asked.

"Yes, that's right." Dolgon was already deeply aware that Liu Jiye had become a thorn in the side of the Qing Dynasty. "If we don't get rid of Liu Jiye and recapture Liaodong, even if we capture Ningyuan and break Shanhaiguan, we will not be at peace. We have to face up to Liu Jiye, this time, we have to do our best to concentrate all our efforts to drive Liu Jiye out of Liaodong. ”

"Then go back to Shenyang first, or hit Liaoyang first?" (To be continued.) )
