Chapter 19 1. Dafu Jin "ascended to heaven", and Huang Taiji succeeded to the throne

On August 11th, the eleventh year of Tianming, Nurhachi died of illness at the age of sixty-eight.As soon as Nurhachi passed away, the question of succession to the throne of Khan immediately became the focus of the post-Jin political situation.During his lifetime, Nurhachi designated the four major Baylors and the four minor Baylors of the Eight Banners as his successors.After Chu Ying was executed, Daishan fell out of favor; Amin was the son of Shuerhaqi, not a direct descendant of Nurhachi, so generally speaking, it was impossible for him to be selected; The nobles had a very bad influence, so people naturally would not support him as a khan.Among the four young Baylors, only Azig had emerged, while Dorgon was only fifteen years old at the time, and Duoduo was only thirteen years old, both of whom were still underage and politically independent.But the biological mother of the three brothers Azige, Dorgon, and Duduo was Ulanara, the concubine succeeded by Nurhachi. The four mothers and sons are a force that cannot be ignored among the nobles of the Eight Banners.In this way, Daishan, Huang Taiji, and the Nala family were left as contenders for the position of Khan.It was against this background that an open and secret battle for Khan's position was launched.

During the period of Nurhaci's death, the Houjin regime had begun to be turbulent, and the kings, ministers, and even Houjin soldiers were all worried about the current fate of Houjin.The two hidden forces finally began to emerge. Most of the Baylors recommended Huang Taiji as the heir to the Khan throne, while the concubine Ulanara believed that Dorgon was the best candidate for the Khan's successor. In this crisp autumn season, the city of Shenyang seemed to be suffocated, and people were disturbed. People were discussing and weighing the two forces in the streets and alleys, as well as in the government and court.Some think that Huang Taiji is the most likely to win the Khan position; others think that Dorgon's mother is so powerful that she can overwhelm the kings in power, and it will be a matter of time before Dorgon succeeds Khan.Talking about it, talking about it, it's just talking in secret, no one dares to publicize it.The same is true for Zhubeile. At this time, they have gathered together secretly to discuss the strategy of fighting for the position of Khan.

The candlelight was beating in the dark room, and the atmosphere was tense. The five Baylors had been sitting on the chairs for a long time, and the dull atmosphere made them a little out of breath.The darkroom is indeed tightly sealed, but these are only external, and their inner depression is even heavier.After a while of silence, Amin first broke the silence, stood up from the chair, and said slowly: "I don't think I have the possibility of inheriting the position of Khan, so I first declare my withdrawal. Of course, I have the right to elect the position of Khan. Everyone Weigh it in your own mind, that is to say, besides me, there are three other people who have the right to inherit the Khan throne." Amin's words are a pun, and another meaning indicates that besides him, there are three other people who have not inherited the Khan throne. Khan bit right.

Mang Gurtai was a little displeased, and said directly: "Brother Huang is always talking around the corner, and it is at this juncture, it is better to point it out directly. I think the two brothers Dai Shan and Huang Taiji are suitable." Dai Shan waved his hand and said, "I'm already old and my energy is limited. In my opinion, Huang Taiji is the most suitable." Just as Huang Taiji was about to stand up and decline, the other four waved their hands almost simultaneously to stop him from speaking. Mang Gurtai said: "Since we all think that Huang Taiji is the most suitable, let's put this question aside. The key is the following Question, Da Fujin threatened to recommend Dorgon to succeed Khan, everyone has heard it, the reason why we gathered here today is to recommend a suitable candidate to succeed Khan, and secondly to find a way Stop Da Fujin's actions."

"Father Khan just passed away, but we have to continue fighting secretly like this. I don't know if Father Khan will blame us after the spirit of heaven finds out." Dai Shan's voice was a little choked up. Amin said: "Let's put all these aside for now. People who are dead must continue to live. I have a way here. Although it is a bit far-fetched, it seems that this is the only way to do it." All Baylor asked together: "What way?" Amin said: "Our Manchus have had the custom of burial since ancient times. Generally, after the husband dies, some wives and concubines are buried for their husbands. But this is not the case in all families, and most of the concubines are buried with their husbands. More common. But from the perspective of the status of the father Khan, the status of the candidate for burial should also be promoted. Of course, the promotion I mentioned is considered from our perspective. We can say that it is the "death" of the father Khan, so that Da Fujin Sacrifice! In this way, the problems we face will be easily solved."

Everyone gasped when they heard the words, calmed down and thought about it, and felt that this method was also "reasonable", and it was the only feasible method at present.After discussing in the secret room, two agreements were finally reached: first, to make Huang Taiji Khan vigorously; second, to force Dafujin to be buried with his father Khan's "last order". Soon Zhubeile drafted a copy of the late emperor's "legacy". In order to prevent Dafujin from becoming suspicious, Daishan sent someone to secretly steal the jade seal that Nurhachi had used during his lifetime, and hired a master writer who was good at imitating handwriting to write it as a ghostwriter. Forged "legacy".

At this time, Da Fujin was still ignorant of the "legacy".In order to make more people support Dorgon to inherit the Khan throne, Dafujin began to win over the kings and ministers, and skillfully avoided Zhubeile who held opposing opinions.Things went smoothly. She sent people to send a lot of jewelry to many people who held great power in the court, and summoned them for secret talks.Dafujin already has 70% certainty in his heart. When Nurhachi was alive, he favored Dorgon and Duoduo very much, and gave them the right to rule the two banners of Zhengbai and Xiangbai.From this point of view, others will not fail to see it, and they should be able to guess Nurhachi's intentions.If we weigh the positions, it is better to stand on the side of Dafujin.

The "legacy" was forged, and Amin pressed the late emperor's jade seal on the "legacy". For fear of missing something, he took out the previous edict and made a comparison until he confirmed that there was no flaw. Satisfied, he put away the "legacy" and put back the late emperor's jade seal.These seemingly superfluous practices are very necessary.Because Da Fujin is a very scheming person, any tiny loopholes cannot be hidden from her eyes.And the success or failure of this time also depends on one action, if you lose, you will lose everything, if you win, everything will be fine.

There are less than two days before the late emperor's funeral and burial. The news has been released in Shenyang City. It is not allowed to hang red clothes, not to marry, not to wear red clothes, not to hold birthday parties and other big banquets. All people must wear white clothes. Dai Xiao.This is a strict order, but it also means that there is no longer any delay in time.Zhubeile discussed in secret again, and thought that the time was ripe, so he immediately started to act. In the harem, Da Fujin was resting on the bed, the sun shone on her body through the half-opened window, it was warm and comfortable.This is a kind of warm feeling. In this extremely dangerous palace, if you are not careful, you will be caught as a "little braid". It is not easy to experience the warm feeling.Duo ErGun just came out of the room, and she told Duo ErGun that he will definitely do something in the future.Dorgon didn't understand this thoughtful sentence, Dorgon just nodded heavily, greeted him and left the room.She thought, he is still relatively simple and still needs tempering, and she will give him a chance to temper.

The sound of chaotic footsteps resounded throughout the harem. Da Fujin had just fallen asleep and seemed to have a dream. In the dream, she saw the late emperor, but before she could salute, the sound of chaotic footsteps woke her up.She frowned, thinking, besides herself, who else in the harem would dare to be so presumptuous and disturb my dreams.She got up and walked out the door, wanting to see who it was and show them some color.She saw that it was Amin Baylor, Daishan, and two people she didn't know.They walked straight towards their room, with a serious look and demeanor. "Is there anything urgent? You have disturbed the tranquility of the harem with such rudeness." Da Fujin said with a frown.

Amin bowed and saluted and said: "Come here today, I really have something urgent to do." As he spoke, he took out the "legacy" from his sleeve. Da Fujin glanced at the "Edict" in surprise and said: "What did you take, the edict? The late emperor just passed away, who dares to do this without authorization?!" Daishan said at this time: "Fu Jin, we will not hide it from you. What Amin Baylor is holding in his hand is the last edict issued by the late emperor. He found it behind a row of books when he was cleaning up the late emperor's study. After reading the "last edict" Afterwards, we were all very surprised. I think Da Fujin might be as surprised as us when he saw it." After Daishan finished speaking, Amin had already reached out and handed the "legacy" to Da Fujin. Da Fujin slowly unfolded the "Edict", her eyes moved up and down, and her face gradually changed color. When she saw the sacrificial burial and the jade seal of the first emperor, she couldn't stand up anymore, and her body fell to one side. "It's fake!" she said in a trembling voice. Amin said solemnly: "We can all understand Fujin's mood. The 'legacy' cannot be fake. Both the handwriting and the jade seal have passed through the hands of the late emperor. The 'legacy' cannot be faked, and the content cannot be faked. Fujin should hurry up and give the order to thank you." Bar." Da Fujin didn't speak anymore, she knew it was useless to say anything now.She knew the late emperor's handwriting. This "legacy" jade seal is real, but the handwriting is fake. Although the person who imitated the late emperor's handwriting was very clever, they still did not escape her eyes.So what?Since they dared to fabricate the "legacy" of the late emperor, why wouldn't they dare?I really lost this time, so suddenly. A person behind Amin took out a piece of white silk from a package, leaned over and handed it over.She took Bai Ling and did not speak.The dream just now might be an omen. She thought of the sunlight that slanted through the window when she was sleeping, but now it no longer exists.She wanted to call Dorgon and all three sons, but this wish could not come true. The door was shut firmly with a loud bang.Amin and Daishan stood outside the door, and after a while, they heard the sound of a chair falling inside the room... After Ulanara's death, Dorgon and Duduo were young, lost their backing, and were unable to compete for the Khan position. This consequence is an indisputable fact.The right to inherit the throne of Khan has been firmly held in the hands of Huang Taiji. On the second day after Ulanara was buried, the selection of Khan's successor began.Huang Taiji successfully inherited the position of Khan without any obstruction. Every change of imperial power is a struggle for power and resourcefulness.Only those with superior skills can be crowned the Ninth Five-Year Plan and rule the world.Huang Taiji's victory in this battle is inseparable from his strategy.After the death of the former king Nurhachi, there were nearly ten Baylors who were eligible to succeed him.He was able to find out the real opponents among so many princes, and clearly realized that the ones who could pose a threat to him were precisely those underage younger brothers.And being able to see that the key to dealing with them is to bring down their mothers.Dealing with one's "mother" as a son is somewhat unreasonable.But Huang Taiji invited Nurhachi, who had passed away, and he wanted his concubine to accompany him on the road, so the others had nothing to say.
