Chapter 179: Mongolian Thoughts
Some people may wonder why Horqin is so welcoming to Concubine Jing's mother and son, but in fact, when Concubine Jing's mother and son returned to Horqin, the welcome they received was even more exaggerated than when she married Shunzhi as the queen.
All of this stems from Concubine Jing's son.
Some people may think it is an exaggeration, but this matter has to start with the marriage between the Mongols and the rulers of the Qing Dynasty.
At the beginning, in order to fight against the Ming Dynasty, Nurhachi married with the Mongols, and his son Huang Taiji won a lot of support from Horqin because of his marriage.
Just look at the fact that Horqin married Zhezhe, Hai Lanzhu, and Bumu Butai to Huang Taiji successively, and you know that Horqin was tied to the ship of the Qing Dynasty, so they also wanted to get more benefits from the Qing Dynasty through marriage.
It's a pity that it backfired, although Huang Taiji's son Shunzhi was not a talented overlord, but he also perceived how much influence Mongolia had on the rule of the imperial court, no matter what Shunzhi's personality was, as an emperor, it was almost instinctive to protect the power in his hands, so he continued to treat Mongolia coldly, especially Horqin, and the abolition was almost a victim of it.
After a long time, the abacus of the Qing Dynasty emperor The Mongolian people naturally discovered that the Mongolians are bold, but it does not mean that they have no heart, so many years Mongolia has sent their daughters to marry, but in the end there is not much benefit, and they are naturally dissatisfied.
Although the imperial court has always had a gritty attitude towards Mongolia, and even the princess does not hesitate to marry, the Mongolians were dazzled by the promises made to them by the previous imperial court, and naturally wanted more.
And the arrival of Concubine Jing's mother and son gave them a lot of expectations, in feudal society, the extremely common phenomenon is patriarchy, so whether in the Qing Dynasty or Mongolia, it is the same concept. Everyone has never heard of the tradition of women succeeding to the throne, of course, the Tibetan side naturally does not count, and the women on their side are respected, which is a special case.
Therefore, the child brought by Concubine Jing gave the people of Horqin an idea, if the child grew up in Horqin, whether he continued to take or return to the court in Horqin in the future, it would be a lucrative deal for Horqin.
After all, in their opinion, it is understandable that the emperor does not attach importance to his daughter, but what if it is a son? Except for the kind of people who have lost their conscience, ordinary people have a fatherly heart for their sons, and since Shunzhi would agree to Concubine Jing's mother and son to return to Horqin, he must still have a compassion for his son.
So it's not surprising that they want to get greater benefits through Concubine Jing's mother and son.
Therefore, the people of Horqin attach great importance to Concubine Jing's mother and son.
And Concubine Jing was able to convince her biological parents at the beginning, and she also used this reason, although Concubine Jing's Ama had a compassion for Concubine Jing, it was impossible for him to ignore his own tribe, after all, if the Qing Emperor was unhappy, his tribe would also be suppressed by others, but the reason proposed by Concubine Jing made Concubine Jing's Ama also moved.
Concubine Jing's purpose has been achieved, and the entire tribe of Horqin's related interests is looking forward to Concubine Jing's son growing up, and of course it will be targeted by other hostile tribes.
Although Tuhai and the others went to Horqin under pseudonyms and did not reveal their true identities, they still claimed to be people sent by Shunzhi. So this also made Concubine Jing's Ama very happy, and felt that she was doing it very correctly.
And Tuhai has been in Horqin for so long, so he naturally knows Horqin's mentality, whether this mentality is good or not, Tuhai has no way to criticize a courtier, but he knows that if someone obstructs this matter, then Horqin's people will definitely regard him as thorough.
So once the methods of the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother are exposed, the people of Horqin will definitely be even more disappointed in the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother.
And the situation of the Queen Mother's death now will not let Horqin delve into it, after all, the Queen Mother cut off a path for them to go straight up. Tu Hai knew that many people in Horqin still wanted to support Concubine Jing's children to ascend to the throne, although it was difficult to say clearly, but that's what they thought in their hearts.
As for the Queen Mother's dislike for Concubine Jing's son spread in Horqin and Shunzhi's action when Concubine Jing's mother and son died, it was really true, and Tuhai didn't make it up.
It's just that under the major event of the Queen Mother's murder of Concubine Jing's mother and son and the former emperor, she was accidentally forgotten by Tu Hai, and at this time she wanted to convict the Queen Mother, Tu Hai pulled it out of the corner of his mind again, and asked Tu Hai to nail a nail on the coffin board of the Queen Mother.
As for the emperor's holy decree for Tu Hailiu, just looking at the indescribable atmosphere of the clans present, you can know that this holy decree is not so simple, and when Fuquan and Chang Ning saw it, they couldn't help but feel a sour feeling in their hearts, and the eyes of the two of them revealed a taste of self-pity for Gu Ying.
There is no doubt that Fuquan and Chang Ning's psychological states are synchronized, they are all grass in the eyes of Huang Ama, and no one loves them!
Tu Hai was also a little embarrassed by the scene in front of him, although these princes all confirmed the holy decree, but the content of the holy decree, they really didn't mention it, Tu Hai looked up at Kangxi is also unpredictable, and knew that this matter could not be solved at this time.
And Tu Hai also felt that the content of the holy decree was a little inappropriate, but as a courtier, it was impossible for him to make the emperor change his mind.
Therefore, he didn't mention it anymore, Tu Hai continued: "Your Majesty, princes, the slave said before that the queen mother murdered Concubine Jing's mother and son, because there is only one witness for the slave, so I can't find more evidence, this matter is suspicious, and the slave doesn't dare to say more." ”
As soon as Tu Hai's words came out, even the Queen Mother's eyes looking at Tu Hai were wrong, and when the Queen Mother saw Tu Hai say this, she was going to let the Queen Mother go.
However, the Empress Dowager may have been in a hurry and was a little out of proportion, so naturally she didn't notice the scene of these clan ministers making eye eyes at each other.
And the corners of Tu Hai's mouth also evoked a sarcastic smile, are everyone present who only talks about evidence, even if he can't produce evidence, but the people present have basically believed his statement, as for the evidence, for these superiors, they have their own proof. What he said just now was just a modest remark, how could he have thought that the Empress Dowager was so excited, it seems that the Empress Dowager is really old, and she is not as shrewd as she was at the beginning.
Tu Hai ignored the different meanings of the eyes of the people present, and continued: "When the first emperor died, the slaves were a little caught off guard, but fortunately, the first emperor left some people for the slaves, and the servants found a lot of evidence through these people.
Before the death of the first emperor, when he was not infected with smallpox, the queen mother moved frequently in the palace, and the slave believed that this was not a coincidence, and then the slave asked people to check the people around the queen mother, coincidentally, the queen mother had seen a lama from Mongolia before the death of the first emperor, this lama is said to be proficient in medical skills, very good, and the best at treating smallpox. ”
