Prince Xin, who has no independent opinion, is considered a member of the gang, and once again he acquiesces that there is something wrong with the emperor.
In this way, the banner owners of the two red and two blue flags became the original main force of the clan.
There was also an old man who didn't show up, so he asked the little one to wave the white flag to show Prince Yun. The situation was five versus three.
Or four point five versus three.
Although the banner owners and princes are not as powerful as they were in the early days of the Republic of China, their very existence represents a force that cannot be ignored by the Eight Banners.
At least, it can still mobilize 60% of the strength of the Five Flags, and it has an influence that cannot be underestimated for many officials.
Fullerhun was secretly happy that the situation was not a small good, but a great one.
There is Yu Minzhong in the Military Aircraft Department, his brother-in-law Yiletu in the Ministry of War, and the Japanese army outside Liutong, plus a large group of princes and princes, there is no need to worry about the big event today!
In addition, half of the governors and ministers outside Beijing will support this matter, so what are you worried about?
In fact, whether the emperor was a Manchu or a Han was not important to him at all.
But why did he not say that Qianlong was a Han, but instead encouraged Qingheng, a stupid young man, to say that the Queen Mother had an affair with the Holy Ancestor? The reason is that this argument is more convincing than that Qianlong is a Han.
There are too many flaws in saying that Qianlong was born to Chen Ge Lao, Yang Lin, or the old host, the young monk.
In the same way, there are too many doubts in saying that Qianlong was born from an affair between the Queen Mother and Prince Guo. First of all, the original records of the prince's birth are incompatible.
Therefore, saying that the emperor was a Han may be shocking to ordinary banner people, but when it comes to the level of princes and ministers, this statement is really a bit nonsense.
Who inside and outside Yanshou Hall is not a human spirit?
But to say that Qianlong was the result of an affair between the Holy Patriarch and his daughter-in-law, that is really irrefutable proof.
It is obvious that the Queen Mother does not want her husband, the late emperor does not want me, and the current emperor does not want me. The Holy Patriarch was so fond of Qianlong's "grandson" that he even summoned the Queen Mother in private to meet her and said that she was a blessed person. How to explain the facts?
The auspicious locations of several parties can illustrate the problem.
Although this would confirm that Qianlong was still Manchurian and still a descendant of Aisin Gioro, the ethical order and the legitimacy of the succession, the blasphemy of the late emperor, the defilement of filial piety, and the trampling of etiquette, destined that Qianlong could no longer serve for Co-owner of Manchuria.
What Fulehun wants is a legitimate and credible reason that can allow the clan kings, Beilebeizi, and ministers to force the palace together, not the people who are shocked when they first hear it and then elaborate on the rumors with a lot of flaws.
The situation has been roughly formed. As long as the Manchurian guards with yellow flags under Sehentu stand on the side of the clan, Qianlong may not be able to support the Queen Mother tomorrow.
He looked at Chief Military Minister Yu Minzhong, who nodded slightly.
Yu Minzhong, who had served the emperor for many years, knew the emperor's character too well. After the case of him bribed the eunuch Gao Yun to spy on the secrets of the palace, the emperor finally released him from the prison of the Ministry of Punishment and allowed him to continue to serve as the emperor. Chief Military Minister, but Yu Minzhong knew very well that the seeds of the emperor's suspicion of him had been planted.
Even if he stays honest for the rest of his life, he will not be able to escape the fate of Ertai and Zhang Tingyu in the future.
What's more, since he became an official in the imperial examination, he has always been greedy for money, and his corruption gains amounted to millions of taels.
If you want to keep your status during your lifetime and avoid being liquidated by the emperor after your death, the best way is to change your emperor.
As Yu Minzhong's chief military minister, he participated in supporting the new emperor. No matter how bad the situation was, he could still maintain his fame and fortune during his lifetime.
Prince Kang Yong'en's thoughts were much simpler. Since the emperor ascended the throne, their clan had been suppressed a lot, and even though they were called banner masters, they were not even as good as the emperor.
Although the Qing Dynasty was founded a hundred years ago, when did the Eight Banners leaders decline to the point where they could not even interfere with the government's affairs?
From the early days when the Four Belts discussed politics to the later Eight Banners leaders discussing state affairs, and then to the meetings of kings and ministers discussing politics, the clan has always had power, because the Qing Dynasty was not the Qing Dynasty of the emperor alone, but the Qing Dynasty of Aisin Gioro
The Qing Dynasty shared by all the children!
But as soon as the current emperor ascended the throne, he weakened and suppressed the virtuous and capable princes in the clan, vigorously promoted and appointed people with different surnames, and used constant wars to consume the children of the Eight Banners. When the Han army was abolished, some of the Eight Banners were sent out, making today's
The Eight Banners are in dire straits. With these Yong'en in sight, can you not be impatient?
If there weren't too many flaws in the rumors that the emperor was Han, and he really believed those rumors, he wouldn't be able to explain the emperor's suppression of the clan and consumption of the Eight Banners at all!
What happened today is like an arrow that has been cocked and must be fired. It must be understood no matter what.
However, Yongen did not want to make this matter too big and spill blood. He still wanted to resolve the matter "peacefully". It would be best for Qianlong to abdicate on his own, otherwise the two sides would really break out and go to war, whether it was for the Eight Banners or for the Eight Banners.
Neither Aisin Gioro nor Aisin Gioro is a good thing.
"Everyone, go see the emperor and ask for clarification!"
When the determined Fulehun was about to lead everyone to the west wing, his deputy, the Minister of Rites, Kuini, suddenly stood up and shouted to everyone: "There is an edict from the late emperor!"
"The late emperor's edict?!"
Everyone was shocked after hearing this. It had been forty years since the late emperor passed away. Where did the edict come from?
Fulehun also looked puzzled.
I saw Queeni, the minister of etiquette, taking out an imperial edict from his arms, slowly opening it in front of everyone, and then read it loudly in front of everyone's stunned and puzzled eyes.
Everyone was stunned after hearing this. The imperial edict read by Queenie actually abolished the secret imperial edict hidden behind the upright and bright plaque, saying that the fourth son of the emperor, Hongli, was not of royal blood, and that he wanted to make the fifth son of the emperor, Hong Zhou, the crown prince instead.
After Si Hongzhou ascended the throne, he gave Hong Li the decree to die!
Military Minister Solin asked with her heart beating: "Where does this decree come from?"
"This edict has been kept secret in the palace by the Queen Mother. It is for the bodyguard Haikang to discover the secret and find out where Haikang is!"
Queenie shouted, and Hai Kang, a member of the royal clan and guard of the Qianqing Sect, immediately squeezed out of the crowd.
Facing hundreds of pairs of eyes looking at him, Hai Kang looked a little scared, but he still told the story about discovering the secret edict.
"After the death of the Queen Mother, the Emperor asked He Zhongtang to select some guards to clean up the Queen Mother's belongings in Cining Palace, and He Zhongtang chose me."
According to Haikang, this late emperor's edict was found in the Jade Guanyin statue in the Queen Mother's palace, and was wrapped in yellow cloth.
At first, Haikang didn't know what it was. After opening it, he found out that it was the late emperor's edict. Because the contents written in the edict were too scary and related to the country and the country of the Qing Dynasty, Haikang did not give the edict to Heshen.
Instead, he risked his life and hid it secretly in his arms until he met Kui Shilang of the Ministry of Rites, and then handed him the imperial edict.
After everyone heard this, they were all stunned.
If the edict is true, it means that the late emperor knew that Hongli was not his son before his death, but why did he leave the edict but fail to deal with the matter?
Some people can't help but think of the rumor that the Queen Mother poisoned the late Emperor.
Thinking again that this edict had been hidden in the palace by the Queen Mother for forty years without outsiders knowing about it, many people began to feel chills in their hearts.
It was the Queen Mother who was frightened by the scheming Queen Mother who had been forbearing for decades.
"The authenticity of the secret edict can be known at a glance."
Yu Minzhong, who was born as the number one scholar, stepped forward and snatched the secret edict from Queenie. Prince Xian Fengneheng, Prince Zhuang Yongruan and others also hurried up to take a look. Even Fulehun stretched his neck and stared at it with wide eyes.
Legacy edict.
After just a few glances, everyone's faces became even more shocked, because the handwriting of the edict was indeed the late emperor's, and the seal used was also authentic.
Yu Minzhong was still worried, so he turned the edict over and read it carefully.
Forty years have passed, and the silk of the edict has turned yellow. The imperial edicts that have been archived in the palace for decades seem to have been withdrawn. The scrolls look like old objects and are absolutely authentic!
"Niu Hulu is so cruel! How dare you hide the late emperor's edict for forty years! Is she going to bring the truth that Hongli is not the late emperor's son into the coffin! She is trying to make the late emperor die with his eyes open!"
Prince Zhuang Yongxuan was so angry that his veins popped out, and he was so angry that he called the Queen Mother and the Emperor by their names.
