Dorgon looked at the back of Jin Zhijun going away, and couldn't help but fell into thought. He had known Jin Zhijun Shiming's resume for a long time - when he was in Chongzhen, he was not valued highly, and after sitting on the bench for twenty years, his face was covered with winter melon ashes.But Chongzhen died, but Jin Zhijun was so worried and sad about Chongzhen's aftermath when his own life could not be guaranteed.He thought, this is probably the so-called loyalty, filial piety and righteousness of the Han people. The five-inch square can be the square of the world-Confucius's words of the monarch, the minister, the father, the son, and the son, have been regarded as the standard by the people of the world, and for more than two thousand years, Abide by it.When the emperor's relatives respect the virtuous, and the courtiers are loyal and wise, it is a family, and the father is kind and the son is filial, and the brothers and friends are respectful. Men can kill themselves to be benevolent, and women can starve to death without losing their integrity. Well, it all depends on the affinity and cohesion of Confucianism!

Father Nurhaci said that the way of Confucius and Mencius is the most difficult principle for all ages, and it is the only way for the Chinese people. To rule China and govern the Chinese people must be the way of Confucius and Mencius. Dorgon said this deeply.I also know the difficulties of my father. The former foreigners, such as the Jin people and the Mongols, once ruled the Central Plains. Although they were the barbarians condemned by Confucius and Mencius, they all bowed down at the feet of Confucius. After the central plains were established, Not only govern the country with the way of Confucius and Mencius, but also the clothing system, cultural relics and regulations, all follow suit, and overhaul the Confucian temple, praise the saints, follow the rules, and be proud of being honored by the poems, books, rituals and music of the great man. people's way.

Dorgon thought, our Qing Dynasty has only a few decades of history. Before that, we still drank blood, slashed and hoed, sons married stepmothers, and group marriages. In addition to worshiping shamanism, we danced to the great gods, relying on them to ensure safety and predict disasters and fortunes. , to express respect for the heaven and the ancestors, there is no principle of self-cultivation, family management, country and world. The back of the Han people's neck.From now on, our Qing Dynasty has entered the Central Plains. As the Jurchens, as the descendants of the Dajin Kingdom, we can only follow the path traveled by our predecessors. We must also worship Confucian temples, praise saints, respect Confucius and read scriptures, and take the way of Confucius and Mencius as our foundation. The strategy of governing the country and taking the right and wrong of Confucius and Mencius as right and wrong is the so-called following the rules. The sages of the Han people have arranged this way for us a long time ago, which is the so-called "when barbarians enter China, China will follow".Otherwise, the world will be in chaos, and I will be driven to where I came from, just like Li Zicheng.

So, did the Qing Dynasty destroy the Ming Dynasty, or did the Tao of Confucius and Mencius submit to our Qing Dynasty? Dorgon couldn't help but think of Mencius' famous saying "Use Xia to change barbarians, never heard of barbarians", and recalled the words that the twelfth brother Azige said before he entered Shanhaiguan, and he felt a sense of injustice in his heart. But born.I thought to myself, before this, how many Hu people entered the Central Plains, although there was a history of changing dynasties, but what happened in the end?Isn't it like mercury leaking out, disappearing without a trace-all of them have been sinicized.Then, what are they talking about in the chaos of China, and what about the Jin and Yuan disasters in the Song Dynasty? In the end, we Hu people just took up the name in vain, raised flags and fired cannons, and killed us aggressively in the Central Plains, but they only brought out Confucius and subdued us. He even went to the northeast with the "Four Books and Five Classics" in his hands. Didn't the Tuoba family lose their surname?

Now that he has entered the customs and is about to rule the world, as the actual ruler of the Qing Dynasty, what should he do so that the descendants of the Qing Dynasty will not be swallowed up by the Han people? But no matter how hard he thought, he just couldn't think of a good way to get out of this cage. Dorgon couldn't help sighing: I can command the suave, and kill the invincible bandits to a complete defeat; I can play with Wu Sangui and others in the palm of my hand, but when it comes to governing the country in Anbang, I can't do anything about it. Meng - ancestors are not as good as people.

The draft from the main hall blew in gusts, and Dorgon felt a chill on his forehead. He slapped his forehead, and suddenly thought of the big braid on the back of his head, and the color of his clothes—in the third year of Chongde, Wenchen Dahai once persuaded Taizong to change his clothes, learn the appearance of Han people, braid his hair, and wear a toga This proposal was severely reprimanded by Huang Taiji, who scolded him for forgetting his ancestors.Looking at it now, Huang Taiji is indeed far-sighted, one generation of crowns and uniforms has its own system, how can he imitate others?If the clothes also imitate the appearance of the Han people, wouldn't the Manchus submit to the Han people?Now that we have entered the customs, the Han people have surrendered to the Manchus, and the system of clothing and hats should be unified!

He thought, great principles can be learned from the Han people, and the system of clothing, can't they also learn from us?Let us learn from their skeleton, and let them learn from our skin. Yu Wang Duoduo was standing by his side all the time, he didn't know his elder brother was thinking so much, he just said: "Brother Fourteen, this Jin Zhijun is really a sincere gentleman." Dorgon hadn't come back to his senses, and it took him a long time to say: "Yes, this person might be of great use in the future. However, among the Han people, there are quite a few such talents, but it will be difficult to accept him."

After speaking, he talked to Doduo about his thoughts.Dodo didn't want to think, but thought that the matter could be slowed down and there was no need to rush for a while-the Eight Banners occupied Beijing without bloodshed. This was expected, but it was unexpected. They all understood that if there was no Rogue, I'm afraid I can't get here for a while even in my dreams.Although the rogues are defeated now, they left behind a huge mess, not to mention the ruins in front of them, the suspicious and fearful officials of the former Ming Dynasty, and the hostile common people. If they are not handled properly, they will all lead to a crisis.Now hearing that Dorgon did not try to calm the people as soon as possible, but thought of shaving his hair first, Duoduo couldn't help admonishing:

"We were in Liaodong before, and we caused a lot of trouble because of shaving hair and changing clothes. This time in Shanhaiguan, the city was full of trouble. You know, those are remote places. Now in this Beijing The city is full of literati, and they attach great importance to this body, hair and skin. If it is forced to be implemented, I am afraid that it will arouse their thoughts of subjugation and arouse their strong resistance, so I think it can be temporarily delayed." He didn't want to say this, but it aroused Dorgon's indignation. He reprimanded Dodo in a stern tone: "Isn't it true that they have lost their country? Since we have entered the Central Plains, if we don't change their clothes first, Then where does it come from? I have already made up my mind on this matter, you don’t need to say it again, if there is a disagreement between us brothers, how can we call on the subjects and promote the world?”

At the beginning when Wu Sangui came to borrow soldiers, there were different opinions, but the fourteenth brother could accept these two words, and he kept his composure and forced Wu Sangui to submit step by step. Finally, the command was determined and he defeated the bandits in one fell swoop. Duoduo had to admire this fourteenth brother .At present, the state affairs are really a mess, and there is no way to sort out the clues, but Dorgon seems to be calm and calm, which is what the younger brother Doduo admires the most, but why is he so confused and insists on going his own way?Doduo knew that he couldn't persuade him for a while, so he had no choice but to keep silent.

Seeing that Duoduo no longer objected, Dorgon immediately sent an order to summon Fan Wencheng and Hong Chengchou. Fan and Hong were in the West Nuan Pavilion of the Hall of Martial Arts, drafting an essay to report victory to Shengjing, just after they were finished, Wen Zhao rushed over with the draft of the essay. Dorgon hastily read this essay, it is a general text, it is nothing more than to report to the emperor that our army has successfully occupied Beijing, plus a few nice words, he immediately went to the side of the case, took out the ink pen and wrote the word "ke" , I asked the guards on one side to take it, and handed it over to Zhang Jing for copying and sending it out. Because there were four people in Duduo, and there were only three chairs in the pavilion, Duduo searched for a long time, but only found one with a broken leg, so the monarch and his subjects sat on the ground recklessly, laughing at each other. At this time, the leaders of all walks of life sent reports on the completion of the occupation of the inner and outer cities.When the Eight Banners army entered the city this time, they had received repeated orders from the regent in advance, that is, no burning, killing, looting, or rape was allowed, and anyone who violated it intentionally would be executed immediately.Therefore, after entering the city, they did not commit any crimes. Hearing these reports, Dorgon couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He first told Jin Zhijun's request and said about Chongzhen's funeral, and then said: "Mr. Fan and Mr. Hong, the eight-banner cavalry entered the city yesterday with good discipline and no crimes committed in autumn. This is completely different from the rogues. These ordinary people should see clearly; plus, as soon as they enter the city alone, they will mourn for Chongzhen. This is a coincidence." In terms of public opinion, these two points should at least eliminate or ease the suspicion and fear of the public." Fan Wencheng nodded, but said: "However, this is only the first day. Regarding discipline, we must persevere." Dorgon said: "That's natural. However, where the military and civilians are mixed, it is inevitable that there will be frequent misunderstandings, and the city must garrison troops. It is necessary to think of a long-term stability strategy here." Fan Wencheng said: "That's for the future. The first priority right now is to calm the people. The prince agreed to Jin Zhijun's request to hold a funeral for Chongzhen. This is really a good way to clean up people's hearts. It can prove to the world that our Qing Dynasty sent troops justified , not to take advantage of others' danger, but to avenge Chongzhen. This reason is high-sounding, leaving those menacing people who want to fight us desperately with nothing to say; Once settled down, the people will also be settled down.” Dorgon nodded and said: "I know this matter well. All former Ming officials can be hired, but they must fully abide by the system of our dynasty and change the bad habits of the Ming dynasty. Our dynasty does not accept bribes, do not favoritism, and do not form parties for personal gain. They Anyone who violates it will be severely punished." Then he looked at Hong Chengchou and said, "Mr. Hong, what do you think?" Hong Chengchou couldn't help being startled when he heard this - he was still thinking about his own affairs. This time he entered Beijing with the Qing soldiers, and Hong Chengchou finally saw the long-lost old capital again.His mansion is near the Chongguo Temple in Xicheng, and there are still his mother, wife and children at home. After three years of separation, he has heard that his family is safe--Chongzhen did not kill his relatives because of his surrender to the enemy.But for some reason, he has a feeling that "the feeling of going to the countryside is more timid".His father has passed away, but his mother is still alive. She was born in a scholarly family. It was with her mother that Hong Chengchou first learned to read and write.In the past, Wu obeyed his mother's teachings, and said he was loyal, filial and righteous, but when it came time to be loyal and righteous, he backed down halfway.He understood that his surrender must have broken his mother's heart, and her mother must have hated him to the bone, but since he returned home, he had to pass this test. Sure enough, after meeting, his mother's fury was beyond his imagination. Before returning home, he sent someone to the mansion to deliver a message, saying that he had returned home safely, and then he went to follow him, only bringing the old servant Hong Wan who had brought him from home when he set off; An official uniform, but a Tsing Yi cap, but that braid is already so chestnut that it cannot be hidden.Not wanting to knock on the door, his wife and son avoided seeing him. Only the old mother was sitting in the lobby wearing a phoenix coronet and a big crutch with a dragon's head in her hand. He couldn't help but wonder, but he still walked forward, knelt down on both knees, bowed three times in a row, and said hello.The old lady closed her eyes slightly and ignored him, so he could only ask embarrassingly: "Mother, why are you wearing such a costume?" When the old lady heard this, she opened her eyes and said, "You came back just in time. I'm getting married today. If you catch up, you can go see off your relatives and earn a cup of wedding wine." Hong Chengchou was taken aback when he heard the words, and said, "Why did mother say that?" The old mother glared at him and said, "As a minister, you can serve two masters; as a wife, can't you be a second husband?" Hong Chengchou couldn't speak for a while, so he had to kowtow again and again, saying, "Damn my son!" Before she could finish speaking, the big crutch with a metal end wrapped in a dragon's head in her hand was smashed down, and she cursed: "Since you know you deserve to die, why don't you die early?" Hong Chengchou couldn't dodge for a while, so he had to hide his head in his arms and let his mother beat him hard. Fortunately, Hong Wan came up and blocked him several times before pulling the old lady away, allowing Hong Chengchou to escape. Right now, Hong Chengchou is still thinking about how to calm down his old lady and how to get the family's understanding of him. When the regent talked about the current important affairs, he said: "There is one more thing that cannot be delayed, which is disaster relief. Right now, Beijing is running out of food. As the saying goes, food is the most important thing for the people. If the people's food cannot be solved, the people in the city, including some officials, will starve to death." risk of death." It turns out that before this, the official food and civilian food in the Gyeonggi area were all taken from Caoliang.Ever since the Dashun Army entered Beijing, water transportation to the south of the Yangtze River had long been cut off. Later, when the Dashun Army withdrew, they looted it all. The Huangcang treasury along the line from Chaoyangmen to Dongzhimen was empty. The supply has been cut off, and the people in the city are waiting to be fed. This is indeed a big problem. Dorgon nodded and said: "Yes, this is indeed a major event. Beijing is already the capital of the Qing Dynasty, and the people in the city are all from the Qing Dynasty. How can we let them starve to death? Besides, the lack of food can be serious. As a result, people's hearts are unstable. For this reason, on the way to Beijing from Shanhaiguan, I have already thought of this matter. I have ordered rice to be transferred from outside the customs and North Korea to Beijing, but I am afraid that it will not be urgent. Let's start with the garrison flag soldiers In the army rations, a part of the army rice and dried horses, such as bean cakes, will be dealt with for a while." When Fan and Hong heard that the regent was willing to allocate grain from the army rice to help the people, they couldn't help being moved.Hong Chengchou hurriedly praised and said: "The prince loves the people like a son, and the people must be grateful." Fan Wencheng said: "When the rogues came to Beijing, they only knew how to search, and when they fled, they looted wantonly, regardless of the lives of the people. This shows that they never changed their nature of robbers; but the prince was still thinking of the people on the way to Beijing. This is really a benevolent man." Mind, the common people must recognize the current court as a court that is willing to be responsible." Unexpectedly, Dorgon said with a stern face: "Gu can love the people like a son, but I don't know if the people can also sympathize with Gu's painstaking efforts and obey our government system?" Hong Chengchou was startled and said, "The prince loves the people so much, what else can the people say?" Dorgon shook his head and said, "I'm afraid not necessarily." Fan Wencheng had seen something from Dorgon and his tone, so he asked tentatively: "What big move does your lord want?" Dorgon said, "I don't want to, but I want to do it right away." As he said that, he said that he was about to issue an order to shave his hair.When Hong Chengchou heard it, he was silent for a long time, and Dorgon said again: "Of course, this is according to the usual practice. It was done like this when the Liaodong was occupied before. You probably have no objection?" As he spoke, he looked up at Hong Chengchou, only to see his upper and lower lips moved a few times, as if he didn't say anything, he knew what Hong Chengchou was going to say, but he didn't want to hear it.Fan Wenchen also knew what Hong Chengchou was going to say, but he understood that Hong Chengchou had more worries than himself, so he said: "Yes, in Liaodong, it was indeed done like this. Even when entering Shanhaiguan this time, the order to shave the hair was issued immediately. However, my lord, can we delay this time?" Dorgon said: "Isn't this matter already discussed? Why delay it?" Why slow down? The reason is that it is difficult and prudent. As a Han Chinese, Fan Wencheng has some words that should not be said. Don't say anything, so, after deliberating for a while, I said cautiously: "That's right. Since ancient times, whenever the dynasty changed, most of the clothing system was revised. Before the Qing Dynasty occupied Liaodong, all Liao people wore full clothes, shaved their hair and braided, and now they are about to rule the world. It is a matter of course that Zhao subjects all obey the system of our court, but I think that there is a process in the process, and we should not rush it. I just said that the most urgent task is how to eliminate the suspicion and fear of the subjects. Beijing has just experienced the ravages of rogues. , the people fled, and the ten rooms were empty, and even those who remained were like frightened birds. If the order to shave their hair was suddenly issued, it would only cause panic and arouse their hostility. Those who fled would not dare to return; Even those who have bowed their heads to their ears, I am afraid that they will also take risks, all of which are not conducive to the current stability." As soon as this remark came out, Duoduo and Hong Chengchou nodded frequently, even in Dorgon's heart, he thought it was reasonable, but when he thought of the injustice in his heart, he couldn't bear it anymore.He stood up, waved his hand, and said with a sneer: "Hmph, if you don't agree, just kiss and take risks. What are you afraid of? Li Zicheng is so fierce and aggressive, isn't he also beaten away? It's so hard for us to get to this situation today. How can we reflect that we have unified the world? Confucius said it well, the people who are simple and easy to do are like the barbarians. He also said that those who change rituals and music are disobedient. Those who discuss it. Since the "Four Books and Five Classics" have it, what reason do the people not follow?" Fan Wencheng and Hong Chengchou didn't expect that Dorgon would insist on shaving his hair so stubbornly, and they quoted two sages' words in succession - the first sentence was from "The Doctrine of the Mean", and given his current status and status, it seemed rather obscene; The second sentence comes from "Book of Rites", but it is clearly a way of reversing the priority and denying oneself.It seems that not only the "barbarians" are unreasonable, but also the "barbarians" are a little unreasonable. On the third day after the braided soldiers entered Beijing, the Anmin notices of the Qing Dynasty finally came out one after another. Although they were stamped with a Manchu seal, they were written in Chinese and posted nine gates—the three notices were issued in the name of the regent. Abbreviated as: The regent of the Qing Dynasty told the officials and people of the Southern Dynasty: If you pass away, our country will reconcile with the Ming Dynasty and enjoy peace forever.Now it is destroyed by the bandits, the matter belongs to the past, so there is no need to discuss it.And the world is not ruled by one person, the army and the people are not the army and the people of one person, the virtuous are the rulers, I live here now, for the revenge of your father Chao Xue, I will die, I will not destroy the thief, and I swear not to go the other way.In the states and counties that pass by, those who can cut their hair and surrender, and open the city to pay money, will be given Juelu, and they will keep their wealth and honor for the world.A person with lofty ideals is in the autumn of making great achievements. If he breaks his promise, how will he conquer the world? Then, in the name of the regent, he sent an order to the Ministry of War, briefly saying: Now that this dynasty has established Yanjing, the soldiers and civilians who died in the world are all my sons.In various castles, people are sent to hold a call to appease. When the call comes, those who shave their hair and surrender will be promoted to a higher level by the local officials.As the head of civil and military officials, he will come to Beijing to see the money, food, books, soldiers and horses in person.Those who surrendered to the kings surnamed Zhu did not take away their princes, but still supported them with kindness. The third notice is directly addressed to the officials, officials, soldiers and civilians of the Han people, which briefly says: All Yamen officials are hired as usual, and their titles can be reported quickly.Those who avoided thieves and returned to their hometowns to live in seclusion in the mountains and forests were also well-known, and they were still employed by the original officials.All officials, soldiers and civilians who surrendered to their loyalty shave their hair, and their clothes follow the system of the dynasty.All officials should change the bad habits of the Ming Dynasty, and work together to be loyal and honest, and not to care about the self-interest of the people.My courtiers do not accept bribes, do not seek personal favoritism, and do not cultivate grievances. Violators will be punished severely.All newly served officials and people who commit crimes like this will be governed by the laws of the country. These three notices were issued after joint discussions between the regent and Duoduo, Fan Wencheng, Hong Chengchou, etc.The above all emphasize "shaving hair", "shaving hair" and "dressing in accordance with the system of the dynasty". I don't want the three-way notice to be issued, and Ninetowns are in an uproar. Qing soldiers are different from rogue bandits, which can be seen from the fact that they held a funeral for Emperor Chongzhen the day after they entered the city; then, although they occupied the nine cities and put red cannons on the top of the city, they did not enter the houses of the people. There was no murder, arson, or rape, which made people feel a little more at ease; then, all the army rations and horses were distributed to relieve the disaster. This move was like timely rain, and the people were really grateful.But despite this, the doubts and fears in everyone's hearts have never diminished, because before this, the Qing soldiers entered the customs four times, and did all kinds of bad things in the capital area, such as murder, arson, rape, and robbery. It's too late. Sure enough, only three days later, the Qing soldiers began to drive out the people in the inner city.According to the will of the Regent, in order to accommodate the Eight Banners troops and defend the imperial city, all the people who originally lived in the inner city were moved to the outer city, with the imperial city as the center. Xiangbai Banner is stationed inside; Zhenglan Banner is stationed inside Chongwenmen; Zhenghuang Banner is stationed inside Deshengmen on the right; Zhenghong Banner is stationed inside Xizhimen; Xianghong Banner is stationed inside Fucheng Gate; Xianglan Banner is stationed inside Xuanwumen. This time, the people panicked again.Fortunately, this area is mostly within the scope of the imperial city, and most of the people living here are high-end mansions, so this relocation is only a matter for the officials.In addition, due to the war, the population has dropped sharply, and there are many empty houses. Even though a group of officials have lost their good mansions in the past, they still have ordinary houses to live in. Not wanting to let go of this tone, the notice to shave hair came out. Yes, counting from Qin Shihuang’s unification of the six kingdoms, the same writing, and the same track, for more than two thousand years, Chinese emperors not only emphasized the unity of government orders, but also pursued changing customs. Everything should be based on his perception and habits. It is considered a symbol of national unity.But that is for the Han people to rule themselves, and the current unification is "following Hu vulgarity." "Hu people wear their hair on the left lapel", this is an uncivilized beauty in the eyes of the Han people. In the Spring and Autumn Period, although there was a Zhao Wuling king who advocated riding and shooting in Hu clothes, scholars have always regarded "strict barbarians and summer defense" as the golden rule , so he worshiped "Su Wu entered the Huns, and he would never leave his lapel for life", not to mention the "Book of Filial Piety", which said, "The body is hair and skin, and the parents dare not damage it." Where is the face to see the ancestors under the Nine Springs? As a result, the whole city wailed overnight, and some even committed suicide overnight. Dorgon insisted on his own opinion and enforced it, but in just a few days, he tasted the consequences - the whole city of Beijing was dead silent, every house was closed, and there was an endless stream of people fleeing outside, transporting food, coal, and others. Small merchants and hawkers of small dishes dared not enter the city. For a while, even the palace was in trouble. What's more, there was a storm of anti-Qing inside and outside the capital. Changping, Sanhe, Hongxikou and other places were especially powerful. It is only a few tens of miles away from the capital of Beijing, which seriously threatens the safety of the Qing army's rear and drags down the main force of the Qing army. Dorgon was in a hurry when he got the report. On this day, he was reviewing the battle report handed in ahead—after the Dashun Army had retreated to Zhending Mansion, it seemed that they had gained a firm foothold and were preparing to fight again with the coalition forces of Azig and Wu Sangui. The purpose is to urge the red-clothed cannon to assist in the battle.After reading this report, he planned to send Duoduo to lead two white flags to the front line, but once Duoduo left, the capital became a dangerous city. When he was in a dilemma, he suddenly thought of Jin Zhijun again. Although he ordered a part of the army rations and dried horses to be allocated to help the people, the dried horses were poor and mixed with weeds and clods of soil, making it difficult for officials and officials to swallow them. Thinking of Jin Zhijun, he was probably eating this kind of coarse food now. , I couldn't bear it, so I made an order to give Jin Zhijun five dans of fine grain, and ordered the left and right Bala soldiers to send it. Jin Zhijun's family is short of food.His three-year-old grandson was spoiled and spoiled, he refused to eat bean cakes, and cried every time he ate, and his gratitude for getting these five loads of fine grains surpassed that of Dorgon for saving his life, and he couldn't help crying Filling his eyes, Dorgon immediately expressed his gratitude, so Dorgon once again summoned Jin Zhijun to the East Nuan Pavilion of the Hall of Martial Arts. Jin Zhijun stepped into the pavilion one step at a time.Dorgon caught a glimpse that he was still wearing the Ming dynasty crown and had not shaved his hair, so he felt a little unhappy. Seeing that he could not afford to kneel down, although he was flattened, he asked in a very uncomfortable tone: "Mr. Jin, after entering the city alone, not only killing, burning, and rape are prohibited, but also a funeral for Chongzhen, and then relief for the people. The people all over the city live because of Gu, but the people don't listen to the call. Why? " Jin Zhijun replied: "Your lord, you mean the matter of fleeing abroad?" Dorgon said angrily, "Isn't it?" Jin Zhijun said: "Since the bandit rebellion, the suburbs of Beijing are not only full of bandits, but also famine everywhere. The people fled, and there is no way to survive. Those who fled died because they stayed in the city, and something more terrible than starvation was pressing them, so they had to flee." Upon hearing this, Dorgon's expression changed, and he said, "You mean the shaving?" Jin Zhijun said calmly: "It's exactly this matter. I think that the prince's actions are difficult for the strong." Dorgon said: "Zhu Ming lost his virtue, and the world was in turmoil. The bandits forced the emperor to death and invaded the people. The Central Plains was already in dire straits. I entered the customs in the Qing Dynasty and punished the people for crimes. Therefore, I was able to settle in Beijing and continue the great rule." Since the common people are the people of the Qing Dynasty, they should follow my customs and obey my system, don't you think that all this is a natural thing that will happen when things come to fruition and when things will happen when things come to fruition?" Jin Zhijun shook his head and said, "My lord, the entry of the Qing Dynasty into the customs is indeed a ripe fruit; shaving hair and changing clothes may not be a matter of course." Dorgon said coldly: "Go ahead." Jin Zhijun said: "Chongzhen died for the country, and the Qing Dynasty entered the customs. Anyone with a discerning eye knows that this is a change of dynasty. Since ancient times, there have been ups and downs, and whenever dynasties change, there is always a move to change customs and change old rules. This is justifiable. Qin Shihuang unified the six countries, with the same text, the same track, and the historical records recorded, which are praised by later generations. But after the unification of the world, he must not do it when the six countries stand side by side. The Qing Dynasty ruled Beijing with a foreign race, and wanted to further To rule the world, all the people in the Central Plains have the fear of subjugation and genocide. Doesn’t this change of clothes and hair shaving just confirm the rumors? What’s more, Beijing is the capital and a model for the world. If nothing happens in Beijing, the world will remain calm; The world is in turmoil. Although the prince has something to calm the people, how can the people believe it? Now rumors are spreading and people are panicking. Therefore, the prince's top priority is how to quickly fix the world and calm people's hearts, instead of intentionally causing waves and provoking the hostility of the people. This 'start from scratch', otherwise, I am afraid that it will cause the people of the Central Plains to resist to the death, then, the example of Emperor Chongzhen is not enough to warn the heart of the king?" Hearing what Jin Zhijun said, Dorgon knew that it was reasonable, but he was unwilling, so he gave Jin Zhijun a look, and said aggressively: "I went out with my father and brother at the age of fourteen, and fought thousands of battles, all invincible. Invincible, Li Zicheng died with an army of 500,000, he was invincible, and he left with his tail between his legs in the battle of Shanhaiguan? Gu has never thought of anything, and there is nothing he can't do. I don't believe that the people of the Central Plains are trapped cramp!" The Prince Regent's words were so decisive and murderous that Jin Zhijun couldn't help but kneel down, but he still said unyieldingly: "My lord is mighty, and everyone in the world is vigilant. However, the will of the people is the will of heaven, and the will of the people is the heart of heaven. If the heart of heaven is in order, the world will be peaceful. If the heart of heaven is not in order, the world will be in chaos—this is also the imperial edict!" Dorgon was surprised—yes, he did say this in front of Jin Zhijun and Zeng Yinglin five months ago at the Qianmen tea house, and today Jin Zhijun is the spear of the son and the shield of the attacking son, and he suddenly speechless, bowed his head speechless. Seeing this, Jin Zhijun kowtowed again and again, and said eloquently: "Although the prince's order is follow-on, it is difficult to change it, but I heard it: Great wisdom prospers the country by gathering people's thinking; great stupidity harms the country because it is for personal use. " Hearing what he said, Dorgon pondered for a long time, and could only return his anger and joy, and said again and again: "Sir, please get up, I know I'm too late." The next day, another announcement came out.
