No one would have thought that an edict would begin to become a hot topic of discussion inside and outside Sijiu City for an unprecedented time, and the speed and breadth of its spread were unprecedented!

Not only the civil and military personnel of the Manchu Dynasty and all the people who were either rich or noble, even the beggars who lived on the streets, had uncertain food and clothing, and carried the burden from all directions, as well as the actors of various singing troupes, these so-called "lower nine ranks[1]" people also quickly joined the army of discussions. In other words, the upper, middle, and lower ninth-rate people[2] immediately began to interpret the edict in detail!

The strange thing is that within half a day, when it was getting late, everyone in the capital almost unanimously reached a few consensuses, and once again started the second round of dissemination with the standard of almost "unified caliber". The main ones are:

First, the edict downplayed the matter of "the emperor personally led the five banners" and generally "advertised it widely". As a result, except for a small number of personal slaves who originally relied on the "prestige" of the banner owner for their prestige, the majority of ordinary flag people were overjoyed. After all, the emperor has become his real "head of the family", and there are also eight banners to ensure that food and clothing are worry-free, no matter how you say it, it is a good thing;

Second, through the establishment of the "Royal Servant Bureau", the ownership of the clothed minions was "returned to the emperor". Almost all the clothed servants felt extremely relieved that they were able to enter the "non-stream" officials: from now on, we are also the ones who eat the imperial grain. Although there is an extra mother-in-law, the Royal Servant Bureau, but, on the other hand, if the relatives and nobles of various clans wantonly bully us in the future, we are not afraid, and we can go to the "mother's" Imperial Servant Bureau to denounce! By the way, this "denunciation", can it be played differently? Once there is something going on in the master's house, can we go to the Imperial Servants Bureau to ask for some reward? If you don't want to be exposed by us, then does your master's family want to live with us? ……；

Third, the clothed slaves were changed to "royal servants", from naturalization (recruitment), assessment, management, to salary, allocation, all of which were collected under the name of the Zongren Mansion, and the heads of each family only had the "right to use", but not "ownership", thus avoiding the use of the promotion of domestic slaves to interfere in the government affairs. All the big families who have a coat of people, this article is a sword hanging on their heads for them;

Fourth, if you can't collect your own clothes, there will be fewer and fewer bad examples of poor people being forced to surrender, then there will be fewer and fewer people who have no choice but to flee, and there will be very few bullies who use the "law of escape" to blackmail the township and blackmail the housekeepers, and the so-called "evil government" that was widely criticized in the early Qing Dynasty will also dissipate invisibly, right? This is what the poor people look forward to the most;

Fifth, the little prince Xuanye has another prominent position: the right Zongzheng of the Zongren Mansion is also the minister of the palm seal of the Royal Servants Bureau! You must know that since the establishment of the Da Zongren Mansion in the ninth year of Shunzhi, although the left and right Zongzheng are generally Baylor and Beizi at the same time, this time Zuo Zongzheng is a young child! Now this "born with the crown" young child is terrible, and he is holding the backyard of the princes and ministers with one hand! Look at this jiashi, in the clan, except for Yue Le, it is this master!

Sixth, Xuan Ye, the second son of the emperor, is pure and good-natured, and he actually gives favors to the minions who beat him! Unexpected, really unexpected! If these two princes can become emperors in the future, will the poor people live a good life in the whole world?

Seventh, all the nobles and children of high-ranking officials in the clan, from now on, really have to be careful of their own lives when it comes to criminal law, and they must not know the power of life and death, and the two sons of the emperor strictly abide by the law and do not show favoritism, is it possible that they will be open to you "little radish heads"? The laws of the Qing Dynasty are to take care of the clan, but in the future, those endless compassionate care will not be counted, and everything can only be done in accordance with the express laws!

Eighth, it is the first time since the emperor pro-government and denigrated the "regent" Dolgon that the queen mother and Dolgon were mentioned at the same time in such an important edict! Moreover, he did not use any words of condemnation against Dorgon, perhaps, the emperor has really grown up, has a tolerant heart, and rules the world more with benevolence and filial piety......

……

When the edict was promulgated in Tiananmen Square, that is, early in the morning, Hongyi had already been ordered to go with Yue Le to the Fengxian Palace, which had not yet been completed, but had just seen the scale[3], to pay homage to the ancestors of Taizu and Taizong. The reason why I chose this place instead of Taimiao is because the sacrifice of Taimiao belongs to the auspicious rites of the five rites, which are considered national ceremonies and state government activities, which are cumbersome and strict to prepare, and only once a year. Moreover, the object of worship in the Taimiao is the "god master" of the former emperor, that is, the "tablet", which is related to the state system, which is solemn but somewhat indifferent.

At this time, the Fengxian Hall happened to be not hardcovered, but the layout had already been appropriate. Let the Zongren Mansion Zong Ling lead the little prince to the family to sacrifice, as if an ordinary family has a big affair and immediately kneels down in front of the ancestral shrine to pray, it doesn't seem so formal, but in fact it is very homely and very cordial. Moreover, the legitimacy of the dream has always been questionable, and the content of the discord between the empress dowager and the emperor's mother and son is unspeakable.

Therefore, Cining Palace and Weiyu Palace both came up with this idea. At the same time as worshipping Xuanye, the Empress Dowager was in the Buddha Hall of Cining Palace, and the emperor was in front of the Buddha shrine in Yugong Palace, all of them were also making a simple little prayer.

Last night's "Cining Palace Night Talk" of the three ancestors and grandchildren was very rich in content, which can be said to be the reformers, conservatives, and "crossing factions" in the early Qing Dynasty (right, let's call it so!). A head-to-head confrontation between the three shili turned out to be surprisingly smooth, at least as it seemed. can have a good result, Emperor Taizu Wu of the Qing Dynasty Nu ~ Erha Chigong "was entrusted with a dream", which is indispensable!

A serious kneeling in front of the portrait of Nu ~ Erhachi in the back hall of the Fengxian Palace, listening to the Zongren Mansion on the side of the Zong Ling Yue Le, "The destiny of heaven returns, God blesses...... Xuan Ye is virtuous and worthy of great responsibility...... The prime minister of the clan, the assistant housekeeper slave" and other high-sounding grandiose, Hongyi really prayed in his heart:

A generation of heroes, Aixin Jueluo Nu ~ Mr. Erhachi, you are one of the great statesmen, military strategists and national heroes in Chinese history and Shijie history, and you are a great monarch comparable to Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, Li Yuan of the Tang Dynasty and Zhu Yuanzhang of the Ming Dynasty (Mr. Yan Chongnian, president of the Beijing Manchu Society and a famous scholar, Hongyi agrees more), and it is also the unification of the Manchus, and the pro-Mongols, the submission of Korea, and the hatred of the Japanese state, creating conditions for the great integration of the Chinese nation again. An important figure who has done his best (Zeng Hongyi, a lover of international politics and a small civil servant. After all, if history had continued in the Ming Dynasty and the Zhu family, Inner and Outer Mongolia would have been Tatar lands, and Korea and Japan would gradually get closer, and the Ming Dynasty would be powerless to deal with small Japan! ）。

I came through not to be an emperor through the ages, but to provide the Qing Dynasty and China with an opportunity to lead the Shijie again at this critical historical node in the middle of the 17th century. Less than a hundred years later, the Orientals began to burn, kill, loot, and do all kinds of evil in this sacred land, so that the lives were ruined and the people and gods were angry!

All this is weishenme? Isn't it because your children and grandchildren are self-contained in Shijie and have turned a blind eye to advanced technological civilization several times? Isn't it because Confucian scholars have become conservative, and they no longer have the bearing and courage to embrace all things and share the world like the prosperous Han and Tang dynasties? It's not that the Huaxia people are in their own camp and restrain each other, so they have to argue about who is the Manchu and Han? …… There are too many reasons, in fact, we can find the wedge of history and explore opportunities for change when we enter the Qing Dynasty.

You must know that the European civilization at this moment is just starting on the runway of rapid development, in fact, they still have many places far behind the Chinese civilization, and the Chinese civilization has also accumulated a good communication mechanism in the era of dealing with Western civilization in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, and the importance of missionaries is an example! It's a pity that Yangyi is menacing, China is self-contained, and in the Shunzhi and Kangxi dynasties, it has missed the most urgent and Zuihou development opportunity in thousands of years!

Great Qing Dynasty Taizu Taizong, ancestors and ancestors, if you really have a spirit in the sky, I, Zeng Hongyi, or Aixin Jueluo Xuanye, I implore you, as well as the ancestors of the Chinese nation, bless me to be able to use my own modest strength to talk about the trajectory of history to set things right! After all, this land of the Emperor and Queen of Heaven who gave birth to you and raised you will never be allowed to be bullied and defiled!

The heroic souls of the Chinese nation, since you have let me travel through time and space after the six Jiazi, then you must have seen all kinds of hardships and difficulties for China's rise again, and you must be dissatisfied with the heavy historical burden faced by the great rejuvenation! In that case, please bless me! Bless me China! Bless my Chinese nation! Bless my Chinese nation to stand in the forest of the Shijie nation and dominate the country for another thousand years!

The Chinese nation will be prosperous forever!

[3] Fengxian Palace, located on the east side of the inner court of the Forbidden City, was the family temple of the Ming and Qing royal families to worship their ancestors, and was built in the early Ming Dynasty. The Qing Dynasty followed the Ming system, rebuilt in the 14th year of Shunzhi in the Qing Dynasty (1657), and then repaired many times. The temple is an I-shaped building built on a white Sumeru seat, surrounded by high walls. The sacrifice of the Fengxian Hall does not belong to the five ceremonies, but is only a private sacrifice activity of the royal family, and it can be worshiped at any time. Originally, there was no Fengxian temple in China, but Emperor Gao of the Ming Dynasty was a filial son, and he felt ashamed that he had not been able to fulfill his filial piety during his parents' lifetime, but he went to the temple all day long to worship not only the people and money, but also violated the tradition of governing the country with rites, so the "Inner Taimiao" was set up in the palace to serve as the emperor's private ancestral temple, which was convenient for worship. Later, in order to show that this was not a temple in the ritual system, it was renamed Fengxian Temple. The main building of the Fengxian Palace, the front is the main hall, and the rear is the sleeping hall. According to the Qing system, where there is a new year, longevity and sainthood, New Year's Day and national celebrations, etc., the big sacrifice is in the front hall; In the event of Christmas, death and Lantern Festival, Qingming, Zhongyuan, frost, New Year's Day and other days, incense is offered in the apse; All the emblems, canonizations, canonizations, feasts, ploughing, tombs, hunting, Huiluan and all celebrations are only reported in the apse.
