Chapter 494: The Dispute of the Sons
"Master, a secret letter from Nanjing." Hou Fangyu handed a wax pill to Dolgon.
"Nanjing?" Dorgon took the wax pill and gently crushed it, taking out the secret letter from it and unfolding it.
After carefully reading the secret letter, Dolgon sighed lightly and said, "It's a pity that Chongzhen was not killed. ”
Hou Fangyu's expression moved, and he asked, "Master, did the Luo brothers attack Chongzhen again?" ”
"It's not the Locke family this time." Dolgon waved his hand and said, "It should have been done by those clans, nobles or gentlemen who were persecuted by Chongzhen before, but unfortunately, in the end, they still fell short. ”
"Master, that's exactly what the minion wants to say to you." Hou Fangyu said with a serious face.
"Since Chongzhen, the dog emperor, was expelled from Beijing, he rarely stayed in Nanjing, and even if he stayed in Nanjing, he would wander the Qinhuai River every now and then, and sooner or later he would die at the hands of assassins."
"Well, that makes sense." Dolgon thought so.
"As the saying goes, if you walk by the river, how can you not get your feet wet? Chongzhen likes to visit the Qinhuai River so much, and likes to run out so much, but he refuses to stay in the palace honestly, and it will be sooner or later if he is assassinated. ”
"So it's best for the master to reduce the number of times he leaves the palace." Hou Fangyu took the opportunity to advise.
Dolgon's brows furrowed instantly, and he said in a deep voice: "Hou Fangyu, do you suspect that Jingshi also has Nanming's spies?" ”
"Master, this is not a suspicion." Hou Fangyu said, "The slave is sure that there must be hidden spies of Nanming and even pseudo-shun in the capital, and if the master is negligent, I am afraid that he will be harmed." ”
Hou Fangyu actually didn't say the second half of the sentence.
What Hou Fangyu really wanted to say was that even if there were no hidden Nanming or Pseudo-Shun assassins in the capital, there would still be a lot of people who wanted to take your Dolgon's head.
How many people's interests have been touched by the restructuring of the Eight Banners this time?
Daishan family, Zilharang family, who doesn't want to kill you?
Empress Dowager Bumu Butai and Little Emperor Fulin will definitely want to kill you as well.
So, if you don't want to die, you'd better be honest.
Dolgon glanced deeply at Hou Fangyu, and he heard the strings.
After a moment of silence, Dorgon said, "Well, let's cancel this year's autumn hunt." ”
I have to admit that Dolgon can still listen to the correct opinion, after Hou Fangyu reminded him, Dolgon decisively canceled the hunt to Chengde, and now it is in the critical stage of the Eight Banners reform, and there is no room for the slightest mistake.
"The master is wise." Seeing that Dolgon had adopted his advice, Hou Fangyu couldn't help but be overjoyed.
It was Hou Fangyu's advice that allowed Dolgon to avoid a well-planned assassination.
Li Ruolian had already rebelled and bribed several old Jinyi guards, preparing to take advantage of Dolgon's trip to Chengde to assassinate, and even prepared handcuffs for assassination.
Dorgon continued to crouch and read the cantata.
It's basically about the affairs of the Eight Banners restructuring.
The Eight Banners of Manchuria needed to be restructured, and the Eight Banners Han Army needed to be expanded.
After the restructuring, the Eight Banners of Manchuria will no longer have a flag owner and a small flag owner, and all affairs will be handled by Gushan Ezhen and Mel Zhangjing, and Gushan Ezhen and Mel Zhangjing will no longer be fixed.
That is to say, the Eight Banners of Manchuria will no longer belong to the banner owner and the small flag owner, but will become owned by the state.
For this, the princes, county kings, Baylor and Beizi of Jiannu were naturally dissatisfied in every way, and began to make trouble, among which the most violent was Dorgon's own brother Duoduo.
By the way, the two brothers, Dorgon and Dodor, have turned against each other.
However, the reason why Duoduo and Dolgon rebelled against each other was not the Eight Banners reform, but that Dolgon broke his promise and no longer succeeded Duoduo's fourth son as his stepson, which is equivalent to abolishing Duoduo, the emperor's younger brother.
How could Dodor be willing to wait for this for three years, but in the end he was lonely?
It's just that Dordor's political skills are not on the same plane as Dolgon's at all, and before Dolgon even exerts his strength, Dordor has already fallen, and the title of county king has been lost, and only the title of Baylor has been retained.
As for the white flag, it has no connection with Dodor.
Dolgon was also ruthless, and carried out a large-scale replacement of Gushan Ezhen and Mel Zhangjing of the Eight Banners.
Mengjiang with yellow flags such as Tulai, Aobai, Tan Tai, and Tazhan were transferred to the white flag in large numbers, while the Meng generals with white flags, such as He Luohui, Waxing'a, and Shitu, were replaced by Dolgon with the yellow flag.
In the early years, Huang Taiji once swapped the colors of the inlaid white flag and the inlaid yellow flag, resulting in a very bad relationship between the inlaid white flag and the inlaid yellow flag.
But now Dorgon has directly reversed the yellow and white flags.
This time, it directly broke the opposition between the yellow flag and the white flag.
In a word, the original power structure of the Eight Banners Manchuria has been completely disrupted.
The new power structure of the Eight Banners is based on the absolute dominance of imperial power.
I have to say that Dolgon is still quite political.
In terms of fighting alone, Dolgon is certainly inferior to Huangtaiji or Nurhachi.
But when it comes to political skill, Dorgon seems to have outperformed Huang Taitai.
The exchange of hands between the generals of the Eight Banners is almost the same as that of the commanders of the eight military regions of the instructors, and the effect is also immediate, greatly strengthening the centralization of power.
It was also from this moment that the Manchus moved from a tribal system of government to a centralized system.
When Dolgon was reviewing the recital, Cao Eryu came in to report: "Master, Princess Jianning came to resign with her forehead. ”
"Jianning is here, please soon." Even if Dolgon put down the brush, he asked Hou Fangyu to take a box of Dongzhu and a Ferret fur from the Khalkha Mongols.
After a while, Princess Jianning and his wife walked into the East Warm Pavilion together.
By the way, this Princess Jianning is not Princess Bi Jianning.
In another world line, Huang Taiji's fourteenth daughter married Wu Yingxiong, the son of Wu Sangui, in the tenth year of Shunzhi, and was named the eldest princess of Jianning in the sixteenth year of Shunzhi.
But in this world, the one who was named Princess Heshuo Jianning became Su Mo'er, that is, Su Malagu, and Princess Jianning's forehead also changed from Wu Yingxiong to Li Hao, the second son of the Korean king Li Liang.
Soon after Su Malagu and Li Hao came in, Fu Lin also followed.
After greeting Dolgon, Fulin said goodbye to Su Malagu and Li Hao.
Holding Su Malagu's slender waist, Fu Lin was reluctant to let go of his hand for a long time, others thought he was just a ten-year-old boy, but in fact, he was already in love, and secretly fell in love with Su Malagu.
Fu Lin will never forget the feeling when he fell down from the well at the mouth of Dagu, and when he pressed on Su Malagu's body, if he could, he really didn't want to marry Su Malagu to Li Hao.
It's a pity that he can't call the shots in this matter, so he can only endure it.
Su Malagu's feelings for Fulin are also complicated, including the loyalty of the slave to the master, the love of the elder sister to the younger brother, and even the first-class maternal love mixed in.
Fu Lin is really raised by Aunt Su Mala since she was a child.
Fu Lin hugged Su Malagu for a long time and refused to let go, Li Hao did not feel embarrassed, but secretly happy.
The reason is also very simple, who is Fulin? That is the future emperor of the Qing Dynasty, and the future emperor of the Qing Dynasty has such a deep relationship with his daughter-in-law, which is of course a great thing for North Korea.
Dorgon didn't think it was wrong, and in his eyes, Fulin was still a child.
Rewarding Dongzhu and Ferret Fur to Li Hao and his wife, Dolgon said: "Li Hao, the current Liaodong is not very peaceful, and Gaizhou Wei is entrenched in tens of thousands of Ming troops, so when you return to Korea, in addition to detouring through the Horqin grassland, you must also have a large army to escort you, and I am ready to let Ao Bai lead the three thousand guards with white flags to escort you." ”
"This, how does this make." Li Hao hurriedly excused himself.
"You don't have to say no." Dorgon waved his hand.
"After you return, you must do your best to maintain the vassal relationship between the Qing Dynasty and Korea, and especially beware of the ministers in Korea who are close to the Southern Ming, and do not allow them to break the alliance between the two countries."
"Huh." Li Hao said respectfully, "The slave remembers the regent's holy message. ”
Dolgon gave a few more words, and then asked Cao Eryu to summon Aobai.
Soon, Ao Bai strode into the East Warm Pavilion of Prince Rui's Mansion.
"Slave worship, knock on the master Jin An." Ao Bai flicked his sleeves and first gave Fu Lin a thousand, and then turned around and asked Dolgon to say goodbye, "Slave Ao Bai, knock on the royal father's regent Jin An." ”
Fu Lin ignored Aobai, but Dolgon shook his hand and said, "Calm down." ”
After Ao Bai got up, Dolgon said: "I am worried that Jianning Eyu will be in trouble when he returns to North Korea this time, not only may the road not be peaceful, but he may also face danger after arriving in Pyongyang, so I ordered you to lead 3,000 guards with white flags to escort you on the road, and there is no need to rush back after arriving in Pyongyang, until the king of Korea canonizes Egu as the prince." ”
At this time, Fu Lin finally straightened up from Aunt Su Mala's arms, wiped his tears and said, "Ao Bai, if the imperial sister is good, I will not peel your skin, do you hear?" ”
Ao Bai replied solemnly: "Please rest assured that the master and the regent of the imperial father will definitely send Her Royal Highness the princess and the forehead to Pyongyang safely, and will definitely do their best to help the princess win the throne." ”
After a pause, he added: "If the king of Joseon does not let go of power, the slave will directly help the forehead to inherit the throne." ”
Obviously, Ao Bai has understood Dorgon's true intentions, the escort is fake, and helping Li Hao seize power is true.
"Hmm." Dolgon nodded happily, and then reminded Li Hao, "Be careful about Li, Li? If he died at the hands of the Ming army, it would be fine, but if he was not dead, but was only captured, then Chongzhen would most likely let him go back to Pyongyang after hearing the news, and it was even possible to help him seek to seize the throne of the prince, so if you see Li again, you must be careful. ”
"Huh." Li Hao replied respectfully, "The slave remembers the imperial father's regent edict. ”
Ao Bai also said: "Master rest assured, the forehead will be able to succeed to the throne smoothly." ”
