Old Zhao was immediately in awe of this young man who was only fifteen or sixteen years old.
Based on this alone, one can guess Nurhachi's thoughts. No wonder he is a Shangguan at such a young age.
Zhu Zhu smiled and said: "Actually, it is quite easy to guess. Generally, the prince must stay with the monarch. He cannot go anywhere. Once there is a problem with the monarch, the prince will immediately succeed. In fact, if you want to guess which prince is the most likely
As for the crown prince, it depends on who is closest to the emperor, and the emperor will always keep him by his side."
In order to protect the safety of the prince, the emperor would always keep him with him. For other brothers, the prince was an obstacle to their ambitions. No matter who he was, once he was appointed as the prince, he would be in danger.
At the same time, ministers will also invest in the crown prince. After all, the merit of following the dragon is the greatest achievement. This is an early investment, and the future harvest will be extraordinary.
On the contrary, if this person is transferred away from the emperor, especially in the emperor's later years, then this person is equivalent to being excluded from the successor. This is a very clear thing.
For example, in his later years, Kangxi sent his Fourteenth Prince out to lead troops to pacify the northwest. This shows that in the emperor's mind, he would not be the one to succeed him. Otherwise, it would be impossible to send him away from the center of power. In the same way, we can know that before Qin Shihuang died,
Fusu is not by his side. That means Fusu is not considered as the successor.
Never in history did an emperor move his heir out of the capital in his later years. He could only pave the way for the prince and transfer other kings away. From this point of view, it is impossible for the Sand Dune Incident to be the conspiracy of Zhao Gao and Li Si that Sima Qian was leaning towards.
, they altered the edict without authorization, and killed Fusu and allowed Hu Hai to succeed him.
Qin Shihuang always took Hu Hai with him, which is enough to show that the person Qin Shihuang chose was Hu Hai.
In the same way, after Nurhaci was bombarded, he felt that his time was running out. At this time, he distributed his two yellow flags to the Dorgon brothers for one purpose. That was to choose a successor among the three brothers.
Since ancient times, there have been direct descendants, but no direct descendants.
Abahai is the eldest concubine and the main wife of Nurhaci. It is very strict to choose the heir among the three sons she gave birth to. Duduo is too young, and Azig has a bad temper, is more than brave, but lacks strategism. Therefore, he can only
Dorgon is the most suitable.
Nurhaci gave the two yellow flags to their brothers in order to allow Duduo and Azig to protect Dorgon's succession.
Hong'er couldn't help but say when she heard this: "The Khan position originally belonged to Dorgon, so how did it fall into the hands of Huang Taiji?"
Lao Zhao said: "Jiannu joined the Ming Dynasty very early. In fact, it was greatly influenced by the Ming Dynasty. In the early days, they implemented the inheritance system of the eldest son. At first, Nurhachi meant to make his eldest son Chu Ying the crown prince. As a result, the announcement was made early.
Daishan and others joined forces to deal with Chu Ying, which almost caused Jiannu to split."
Zhu Zhu nodded and said: "It is true that it is easy to cause problems if the ministers want to invest in advance, and it is easy for the prince to be too powerful. If the prince is too powerful, it will be difficult for the monarch to die naturally. Even for the sake of a good death, he cannot
It was established too early.”
Lao Zhao nodded approvingly and said: "This is really insightful. Nurhachi was in the entrepreneurial stage at that time and could not have a split. So after repeated weighing, he killed Chu Ying."
Hong'er opened her mouth in surprise. Did Chu Ying make a mistake? It was Nurhachi's idea to establish him. But he was established. All the disciples united to attack Chu Ying. In order to unite, Nurhachi actually killed Chu Ying. This is terrible.
Really, the problem was solved with the minimum cost.
How ruthless can this person be? He is so calm and emotionless.
Old Zhao sneered and said: "They have only been out of the mountains for more than ten years. How kind do you expect them to be? They are struggling to survive with wild beasts in the mountains. They are almost the same as wild beasts."
"Do you know Mang Gurtai, the leader of the Zhenglan Banner who was captured by the master? In order to apologize to Nurhachi and express his loyalty, he strangled Nurhachi to death with a bowstring, and offended Nurhachi's biological mother. And the forehead of the five ministers
Yidu, out of loyalty, covered his son with a quilt to death. Don't you want to know how Dorgon lost his position?"
Lao Zhao looked at the surprised faces of the two people and said: "After Nurhachi died, Daishan, Huang Taiji and other ministers joined forces with ministers to force Abahai to be buried. Abahai disagreed, saying that she had a son, and Duduo was still alive.
He was young and needed to be taken care of. The disciples swarmed up, hanged Abahai with bowstrings on the spot, put him directly into the coffin and buried him with the old Khan."
Zhuzi and Hong'er were dumbfounded. They had long heard about the barbarism of slave-building. But the barbarity to this level was simply shocking. This is not a court, it is simply a wolf's den.
According to the Korean historical record "Chunpa Tang Riyuelu", when Nurhaci died, he ordered his youngest son Dorgon to inherit the throne and serve as regent on Shanshan's behalf.
However, after Nurhachi's death, Daishan supported Huang Taiji's ascension to power. In order to ensure that Dorgon's mother would not object, she must be forced to commit suicide.
Since then, the record about Dorgon's biological mother has been revised several times in the Qing Dynasty's official history book "Records".
Zhu Zhu said: "Then the three Dorgon brothers will be in danger."
Lao Zhao said: "They were able to save their lives. One reason is that they have two yellow flags, which allow them to defend themselves. After all, the two yellow flags are powerful flags. The other reason is also because of the game between Daishan, Huang Taiji and the disciples."
After Daishan was deposed as the crown prince, Nurhachi chose eight Baylors to discuss politics together, which was later said to be the so-called Eight Kings to discuss politics. Dorgon was eight years old at the time, but he was one of them. When Nurhaci died, he was one of the four Baylors.
Besides, he has the most number of masters.
Dorgon could only put down his hatred and serve Huang Taiji in order to survive. Huang Taiji was eager to balance the two red flags, the most powerful Daishan. Therefore, he also actively attracted the Dorgon brothers. After all, once Abahai left, this
The three brothers lost their threat to him. On the contrary, Daishan, who supported his rise to power, was the most powerful and posed the greatest threat to him.
Last year, Dorgon personally led troops to follow Huang Taiji to attack Lin Danhan. Dorgon repeatedly made military exploits and defeated the enemy in Aomuleng. Huang Taiji bestowed upon him the title of "Mergen Dai Qing" (meaning wise commander)
No. This year, Dorgon was sixteen years old.
When Zhu Zhu heard this, he couldn't help but tap his fingers lightly on the table. This was a habit they learned from their master. What Lao Zhao said so much was actually telling him that Dorgon was in a very difficult situation. He was trying his best to find a way
, struggling to survive in this wolf den.
Zhuzi also understood that survival here relies on strength and cunning.
Neither tigers nor lions are scary. What's scary is that you don't know what their needs are.
Obviously, Dorgon's need is to survive. And the basis of survival comes from strength. This is a place where whoever has a big fist can speak rationally. There is no use in trying anything else.
The strength of this era comes from strong soldiers, sophisticated equipment, and sufficient money and food. These are definitely what this Morgan Dai Qing needs.
