Chapter 262 The Kings Guild is at war with each other
Yunxiang fell, and then Hangcheng fell again. The news spread to Beijing, and the whole court was shocked, and an emergency meeting of kings and ministers was held to discuss political affairs.
Prince Regent Jierhalang, Prince Zheng, Prince Li Daishan, Prince Su Hauge, Prince Duduo of Yu, Azige, who had just been demoted to the county prince, and other princes Baylor, and Gushan Ezhen of various banners.
Three political ministers from each banner also came.
The prince, the prince, Baylor, Gushan Ezhen of the eight tribes, the ministers who discussed the affairs, the six Manchu and Han ministers, Fan Wencheng, the great scholar of the Han army banner, Ning Wan and I were also summoned to discuss the affairs.
Inner court, administrative office.
Prince Baylor, Minister Baylor, etc. were all gathered together.
Except for Baylor, the prince and minister who was leading the army, everyone else who was qualified to attend the meeting came.
The Council of State Councilors, also known as the State Council, was originally derived from the Jurchens' Zhubeile discussion system. After Nurhaci established the Eight Banners, five councilors and ten council ministers were appointed. They met with the Zhubeiles every five days to discuss state affairs.
During the Huang Taiji period, he intentionally expanded the size of the meeting of kings and ministers to discuss government affairs. Although the members of the meeting were composed of upper-class nobles and ministers of the Eight Banners, not all upper-class nobles and ministers could attend. "Deliberation of government" is a formal title.
Representing a certain power and status, they must be appointed by Huang Taiji. Similarly, when necessary, Huang Taiji can also revoke the qualifications of a certain nobleman and minister to "discuss political affairs".
Before entering the customs, Huang Taiji collapsed, and the number of people in the council of kings and ministers continued to increase. Many lower-level beizi and even Dukes, as well as many ministers, participated in the council. In fact, the power and status of the council of kings and ministers were continuously reduced.
It was a centralized process in which the Eight Banners agreed on state affairs with their relatives and turned to the monopoly of imperial power.
In the past, the major Baylors had the final say, representing the distribution of power in the era of tribal slavery, but now it has become a royal council system like the Central Plains Dynasty.
It is the emperor who actually presides over meetings and decision-making, but now that the emperor is young, this power is exercised by the emperor's uncle and the regent.
Prince Su Hauge directly attacked Dorgon from the beginning, believing that his previous major mistakes in decision-making had led to the current corrupt situation in the south, and he also attacked Azig and Duduo who were in charge of the last expedition.
The intention is to deal with these three brothers together.
"The last time Azig came back, he made a lot of noise, saying that he had captured more than 60 big cities and surrendered more than 400,000 troops. But what is the reality? Yunyang has never been captured, and Changsha and Yueyang south of Jingjiang have also not been captured.
We failed to capture the important towns such as Xiangyang, Wuchang, Jingzhou, Hanzhong, Nanchang, Jiujiang, and Anqing, but they were all entrusted to the newly surrendered thieves, and Ming generals will continue to command and guard them? Isn't this ridiculous?"
"The territory that our Eight Banners warriors fought so hard to conquer was handed over to them. The imperial court also granted them officials and paid them. I dare to ask, what is going on?"
"Prince Duduo of Yu did the same in the south of the Yangtze River. He stayed in Hangzhou for two months, taking hundreds of thousands of troops there to escape the summer heat, wasting food and wages, and watched as King Minglu ascended the throne in Shaoxing opposite Hangzhou to supervise the country. He also watched him pack up his troops.
After rectifying the residual power, the master who turned a blind eye in the end returned to the court."
"Prince Kerui actually gave them a lot of rewards, named him Prince Deyu, and gave them tens of thousands of taels of silver. Everyone has meritorious service, and they are all generously rewarded. It's extremely ridiculous!"
Hauge pointed directly at his uncle Dorgon, "Shouldn't the emperor's uncle be responsible for this?"
Prince Regent Zheng Jierhalang stood up to smooth things over. After saying a few words, he changed the topic and mentioned the current situation in the southeast, "Hangzhou has been lost and Su and Song are in turmoil. At this time, we need mature and capable ministers like Hong Chengchou to take charge.
Prince Rui hastily transferred them to Huguang at this time because of the guards of the clan Baylor like Luck Dehun. It was unconscionable."
"If Hong Chengchou and Luck Dehun's Jiangning Eight Banners hadn't been transferred away, Hangzhou might not have been lost, and Su Song wouldn't have been so turbulent. It's the lack of this ballast stone that made Jiangsu and Zhejiang so rotten. Now this
It was Huguang who failed to rescue him, but instead caught up with Jiangsu and Zhejiang."
"Yan Wo Gong is just a scholar. In March, he went through five provinces from a scholar to a bachelor. He was promoted too much."
"Although he is a manager, he can directly kill the governor of Zhejiang, the governor and hundreds of other officials. It is also completely random. Does he still have the royal legal system in his eyes? Zhang Cunren is also a first-rank minister of the imperial court and a governor of a province. He kills as many as he wants? Then?
It is not allowed to report to the imperial court, and the imperial court decides what to do?"
"Also, he appointed a fourth-grade Salt Road governor as a second-grade governor? He directly appointed a Songjiang general as an admiral. These are also serious oversteps!"
"I think Mr. Yan is not suitable for such an important position as the manager of the five provinces. He cannot bear such a heavy responsibility. He should be replaced by someone else."
Hauge and Jierhalang, the old and the young, finally found an opportunity today. They bombarded Dorgon with all their strength from the beginning. Hauge came up to accuse Aji and Duoduo who had lied about their military exploits during the last southern expedition and pointed many swords at them.
Ergon, while Jierhalang attacked Dorgon by accusing Yan Wogong.
Although Dorgon had just dealt with Azig and those who followed him in the southern expedition, this incident was seen as Dorgon taking the opportunity to suppress dissidents, such as Obai and Tan of the Two Yellow Banners.
When Tai and other generals were discussing the establishment of a new emperor after the collapse of Huang Taiji, they threatened Dorgon with knives, saying that if they did not establish a son of Huang Taiji, they would slaughter the palace with blood.
Ao Bai followed Azig on the expedition and has been the vanguard to pursue and annihilate Li Zicheng. He has repeatedly made great achievements. After entering Huguang, he divided his army and took over thirteen cities including Dengzhou and Wuchang. He fought more than thirty battles in a row and won all the battles.
.
But in the end, not only was he not allowed to claim his merits, he was also fined one hundred taels of silver, and he was even almost deprived of his qualifications as a minister of state affairs.
Gu Shan'e Zhen Tan Tai is even worse.
As the commander-in-chief, Azig was demoted to a county king for lying about his military exploits. He was later investigated for defying the emperor and calling him a coward. He was convicted, fined silver, and deprived of his Niulu. However, Haug believed that Azig's stolen Niulu was
Finally, he arrived under the banner of Dorgon.
Isn't this the left pocket but the right pocket?
As for the so-called prince being demoted to a county king, what kind of punishment is this? Among the Princes and Belles of Manchuria, if they are not often demoted and fined silver, it is not a big deal. Just like Hauge, wasn't he demoted to a county king three times?
It will be upgraded soon, and as for the fines, it is nothing to worry about.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The only thing they care about more is the Niulu under their command. If the Niulu is stripped away, then it is truly gone.
Tan Tai was originally Gushan Ezhen of the Zhenghuang Banner, the military and political officer of a banner. This was already the highest status among the banners under the eight banners. However, he was convicted and stripped of his position by Dorgon, and even demoted from the official position of the state.
.
Dorgon beat Tan Tai again and again, and finally succeeded in winning over the former Huang Taiji confidant to his side. After conquering Tan Tai, Dorgon immediately restored Tan Tai to the first rank of Duke, and restored him to the Zhenghuang clan.
Gu Shan Ezhen was promoted to his post, and he was restored to the title of minister of political affairs. He also ordered him to attack his former allies Sony and Obai. Sony was convicted and deprived of his position, and Obai was also punished.
It was Jierhalang who defended the city and the Queen Mother intervened to save it.
Dorgon sat there, watching them scramble to attack first, and just laughed in his heart.
Jilharang is an old fox who wholeheartedly supports Hauge. The two of them are closely involved, but this old fox is a little indecisive, timid, and lacks courage at critical moments. Just like when he supported the new emperor, this old guy wanted to support Hauge.
I was also afraid that I would fight to the death, so after I foolishly quit first, I finally failed to fight to the end and could only compromise and support Fulin.
He has seen through this, so when dealing with this old guy, he always has the upper hand by being decisive and never hesitating.
The old guy was originally co-regent with him and was ranked above him in rank, but now that he has lost power and is unwilling to do so, he still allows Hauge, a stupid young man, to play the vanguard. It is ridiculous.
At this time, Daishan, a good old man among the kings of the clan, came out to speak.
"The situation in the south is corrupt, and the forces of the Ming Dynasty are unexpected. I think we must treat it with caution. It is definitely not enough to rely on two Han civil servants, Hong Chengchou and Yan Wogong. At the critical moment, we, the Manchu princes, have to take action. I suggest that the clan princes should be sent
Take command and lead the troops, select the elite of the Eight Banners to go south, destroy the remaining Ming Dynasties in one fell swoop, and unify the Central Plains."
Daishan is the second brother of Dorgon, the second son of Nurhaci, the head of the four Baylors, and the title of Prince Heshuoli. Daishan and his son hold the two red flags, and they are also powerful factions.
He was also awarded the title of Ancient Ying Batulu for his bravery in battle. The current number one warrior in Manchuria, Batulu Obai, can only be regarded as his descendant.
Although he was brave, Huang Taiji was always suppressed because he was the leader of the Four Belles. However, his prestige in the clan has always been very high, not to mention the fact that his mother's family, the Tong family, had foreign aid. By the time of his death, Huang Taiji had become even more powerful.
Tuo, Wakda, Adali, Luoluohun, Mandahai, Luckdehun and other descendants who hold the title of prince.
However, after Huang Taiji died suddenly, Daishan also made a wrong move.
At that time, the two yellow flags supported Haoge, and Haoge himself was the leader of the Zhenglan Banner, while the two white flags wanted to support Dorgon. Jierharang, the leader of the Blue Banner, one of the four princes, also supported Haoge. Daishan believed that Haoge
Ge had many supporters and had an advantage, so he also supported Hauge's succession.
But at this time, his second son Shuotuo colluded with his nephew Adali, and Luck Dehun conspired to support Dorgon, colluding in the two red flags. After Daishan learned about it, he took the initiative to expose his son and grandson.
As a result, both Shuotuo and Adali were executed, and Bolo was demoted to Hauge as a commoner.
This incident had a great impact on Dorgon at that time. Originally, if there was support from the two red flags, even some princes from the two red tribes, Dorgon would have a great chance of suppressing the two yellows and the two blues and succeed.
Become the emperor.
But the kind-hearted act of annihilating relatives caused the two red flags to fail to support him.
Fortunately, at the critical moment, Hauge was stupid and Jierhalang was indecisive, so that they had the upper hand, but they had no countermeasures in the face of Dorgon's toughness.
In the end, there was a stalemate. Azig said that Haug's concession was inappropriate, so Duduo, the leader of the white flag, stood at attention. Duduo said that long-term leaders should stand up for good deeds.
Daishan naturally knew that he was not qualified or able to compete for the throne, so he proposed to compromise and support Huang Taiji's youngest son Fulin.
