Chapter Two Hundred and Fifty Four: Love Jiangshan More Love Beauty
In the Baimiao Castle on the banks of the Nuer River in the west of Jinzhou City, although everything seemed to be normal on the surface, the princes, Baylor, and ministers were already extremely panicked.
After Huang Taiji, the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty, learned about the defeat of the Western Front and the death of Duduo in the afternoon, he was in a daze, but he could still support it. However, a subsequent urgent report from Shengjing City became the straw that broke the camel's back.
.
After Huang Taiji removed the fire paint and unfolded it, his expression changed immediately. He vomited three large mouthfuls of blood, and then fell on the throne, unconscious.
The shaman who came in a hurry danced all afternoon, and then Huang Taiji woke up faintly. However, he was so happy that he suddenly became sad. He was hit by two bad news in succession, and his mental state was already on the verge of collapse.
It was only then that everyone knew the reason!
It turned out that Huang Taiji's favorite concubine Hai Lanzhu of Guanyong Palace was ill, and she was still seriously ill. This was unacceptable to Huang Taiji who had just learned about the defeat on the Western Front.
You know, Huang Taiji is a guy who "loves the country more than beauty".
Hai Lanzhu, Horqin Borzijit, was already twenty-six years old when she married Huang Taiji as his concubine. However, even though she was married at an older age, she doted on Huang Taiji's harem as soon as she entered the palace. This shows that Huang Taiji
Deep love for it.
In the ninth year of Chongzhen, when the Qing Dynasty was founded, Huang Taiji changed her name to Chongde, and named Hailanzhu "Chen Fei".
He named the palace where Concubine Chen lived "Guan Sui Palace" based on the poem "Guan Guan Sui Dove, on the continent of the river" that symbolizes love in the "Book of Songs".
The status of Concubine Chen Hailanzhu in Huang Taiji's harem was second only to her aunt's empress Zhezhe in the main palace, and she ranked second among the five concubines in Huang Taiji's harem.
But this is only an official statement. In reality, she is the number one person in Chen Fei Hailanzhu's harem. From the time she entered the palace, no one can shake this position.
Even Zhezhe, who was the empress of the main palace, could not compare with her. In history, Empress Xiaozhuangwen, a strong female political figure in three dynasties, was still only the concubine of Yongfu Palace, ranking behind Hai Lanzhu.
Moreover, Hai Lanzhu not only doted on the harem, but even her belly supported her. In the tenth year of Chongzhen, Huang Taiji gave birth to the eighth son of the emperor only three years after their wedding.
Huang Taiji was naturally overjoyed. He held a banquet for all the ministers and even issued the first amnesty order since the founding of the Qing Dynasty.
He wrote in the pardon order: "Since ancient times, when a ruler celebrates the birth of a son, he must issue an edict to grant amnesty to the country. This is the grand rule of ancient emperors."
Although, it is true that if emperors in the past dynasties were happy to have a prince, there were many cases of using it to grant amnesty to the world.
However, most of these "general amnesty" actions were only taken when the emperor's eldest son was born, or when the queen gave birth to a prince.
But Huang Taiji's "birth celebration" this time was neither for the emperor's eldest son nor for the queen, but for the eighth son of the emperor who was born to a favored concubine.
This shows that Huang Taiji's love for Hailanzhu has reached an extreme level, so he would "love the whole house and crow" like this, and he would grant amnesty to the whole world for the sake of the eighth son of the emperor. In fact, it was for Hailanzhu.
But Hai Lanzhu was destined not to enjoy such a blessing. The eighth prince she gave birth to for Huang Taiji died before he was two years old. Hai Lanzhu has been unable to get out of the shadow of his childhood death.
He was depressed and unhappy for a long time, and finally became ill due to depression.
Huang Taiji even visited famous doctors in the country, but none could cure Hailanzhu's disease. He also asked shamans to come and exorcise Hailanzhu many times, but to no avail.
As time went by, Hai Lanzhu's condition became more and more serious, and he often even coughed up blood. Huang Taiji was very worried about this. He tried his best to help Hai Lanzhu relieve the pain of losing his son, but without any success.
Every time he left Shengjing, he would be very concerned about Hai Lanzhu's physical condition. Most of the letters he exchanged with Sheng Jing were about Hai Lanzhu's mood and changes in his condition.
At this moment, after just hearing the news of the defeat on the Western Front, and hearing that Hai Lanzhu's condition had worsened, and even reached the point of death, Huang Taiji's heart was as sharp as a knife, and he wished he could fly back to Shengjing immediately, to return to the place he had longed for.
Beside Hai Lanzhu.
For this reason, a sigh of relief surged in my chest and could not be relieved for a long time. Finally, after vomiting out three large mouthfuls of blood to donate blood, I felt a lot more relaxed.
But his body was also hollowed out. He, who was already weak and frail, looked miserable at this moment. He seemed to have difficulty even speaking. He also suffered from epistaxis again and was bleeding profusely.
It was precisely because of Huang Taiji's physical condition that the Qing officials were concerned.
Now, the whole country's troops are deployed to confront hundreds of thousands of Ming troops on the front line of Jinzhou. This is a battle related to the survival of the country. Originally, when Huang Taiji rushed to the front line, military morale was still high, and everyone was full of confidence.
With the defeat on the Western Front, the original strategic plan of cutting off the Ming army's retreat and food routes was destined to be impossible to realize. If Huang Taiji had another shortcoming at this moment, then this battle would probably not be fought anymore.
Of course, everyone must first consider the future of the Qing Dynasty, but everyone has their own little ninety-nine reasons. While thinking about the Qing Dynasty, they must also consider the future status and interests of their own faction.
At this moment, in Baimiao Fort, except for Huang Taiji, the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty, the Prince of Li and Dai Shan are naturally respected.
Surrounded by everyone, Daishan finally arrived at Huang Taiji's palace. Although this was already the largest house in Baimiao Fort, it still seemed very crowded and the space was very cramped. Many people could only
Waiting outside.
Fan Wencheng, Xi Fu, Gang Lin and others, the great scholars of the inner academy, had already arrived at the Imperial Palace. When they saw Dai Shan coming in, they all stood up and saluted.
Daishan, once one of the Four Belles, and the elder brother of the other three Belles, can be said to be the head of the Four Belles and the most powerful elder brother.
When Huang Taiji first took over the throne, Daishan and other three Baylors presided over the government together with Huang Taiji. This period was also called the period of the Four Baylors.
"Together we discuss national affairs and each appoints officials and subordinates" was the political environment of the Later Jin Dynasty at that time.
Although Huang Taiji later used all his means to punish the second beile Amin and the third beile Mang Gurtai, he only suppressed the big beile and did not punish him until he died.
Although Dai Shan has gradually retreated behind the scenes, he is the flag master who holds the red flag and the red flag. He is also a veteran general who has led troops to conquer the world for decades. He has many followers in the army.
.
Among the princes and princes of the Eight Banners of Manchuria, he is the oldest and has the highest status. There are also a number of granted princes and dukes such as Shuo Tuo, Wakda, Adali, Luo Luohun, and Manda Hai.
descendants of the throne.
In fact, among the various factions within the Qing Dynasty, Daishan's faction is the most powerful. However, he is older and has long lost his original competitiveness and is just patient.
Now, Huang Taiji is seriously ill, Dorgon is on the front line of Shimen Mountain, Hauge is on the east bank of Xiaoling River, Duduo has died in battle, and Daishan has undoubtedly become the only person who can make the decision on the Baimiaobao side.
He slowly moved to the front of Huangtaiji. Seeing his weak appearance, he felt really sad. He leaned over and whispered: "Your Majesty, you are bound to the future of the Qing Dynasty. You should cherish the dragon body. You shouldn't be so sad."
Huang Taiji raised his eyelids and looked at Dai Shan. He took a big breath, cheered up, and said to him: "Brother Wang, please be at ease. I'm fine. I just need to rest for a while."
Looking at the Qing Dynasty officials and generals in the hall, Huang Taiji also had mixed feelings in his heart. He was also very clear about the current situation, but Hai Lanzhu was seriously ill, how could Huang Taiji not stay with her?
But although he is a king who "loves the country more than beauty", he also knows that at this moment, he is destined not to leave.
Huang Taiji took another breath and asked Dai Shan: "Brother Wang, who do you think can be the leader of the white flag?"
Prince Li Daishan was shocked when he heard the words and thought: "Ah, this is to take away the position of the leader of the Duduo lineage with the white flag."
On the surface, he said calmly: "Zhulan, the eldest son of Duduo, is originally a concubine and is still in his prime. He is less than ten years old. He cannot inherit the position of flag owner with a white flag.
However, the second son, Doni, was born to the successor Jin Dazhe, so it would be better to let Doni inherit the title of Prince Yu."
Dai Shanguo was a cunning old man. He did not directly answer Huang Taiji's question. He only said that Duduo's eldest son Zhulan was not a direct descendant and could not inherit the position of the banner leader. He also said that his second son Duoni was a direct descendant and could inherit the throne of Prince Yu.
title.
He was very secretive about who was suitable to succeed the flag leader with the white flag. He didn't know what Huang Taiji was thinking, so he didn't dare to propose candidates without authorization, so as not to arouse Huang Taiji's suspicion.
Furthermore, now that the future is unpredictable, Daishan is unwilling to create more powerful enemies for himself.
You must know that the Communist Party of Manchuria only has the Eight Banners soldiers and horses. Whoever becomes one of the banner masters will not only have the warriors of the banner, but also the tens of thousands of soldiers in the banner.
Moreover, the owner of this flag has been passed down from generation to generation. Logically, Duoduo's son should be the owner of this white flag. At this moment, Huang Taiji asked Daishan, in fact, he wanted to use Daishan's words to change the owner of the flag.
How could the cunning Daishan fail to see Huang Taiji's little thoughts?
After hearing Daishan's words, Huang Taiji's heart sank. After a long time, he spoke again: "Brother Wang, our Qing Dynasty was founded and everything is waiting to happen. The leader of this banner is especially important. Doni is only six years old. I'm afraid
It’s incompetent.”
At this time, he was struggling even to speak. After saying this, he had to stop and rest for a while. He was suffering from epistaxis, and from time to time he would poke his head outside the bed to let the nosebleed flow into the golden bowl on the edge of the bed.
Just when Daishan was secretly speculating on whose hands Huang Taiji would hand the white flag to, he heard him say: "Brother Wang, I think I can make Azig temporarily take over the position of the flag owner of the white flag. I will wait for Doni in the future."
When he becomes an adult, he will be handed back to Dhoni."
When Huang Taiji said this, he used his last breath to raise his eyelids to look at Ding Daishan and asked him: "What do you think, Brother Wang?"
At this moment, Daishan could not help but admire Huang Taiji, and said in his heart: "Old Ba, it's really not that simple!"
He said: "Your Majesty is only thinking about the Qing Dynasty. This is the best thing. Azig is Duny's uncle. It's just the best thing for him to take care of the white flag."
Although Daishan said this on his lips, he understood it very well in his heart.
In order to avoid Dorgon's family, Huang Taiji and his brothers worked together and repeatedly used counterintuitive tactics on his own brothers, which indeed made his eldest brother Azig resent Dorgon.
He initially took away Azig's Zhengbai flag on the grounds that he made a mistake, but then gave it to Dorgon. From then on, Azig began to resent his brother Dorgon and took away his Zhengbai flag.
position.
After that, Azig began to get closer and closer to Haug, and fell into Huang Taiji's trap without knowing it.
Now Huang Taiji used the excuse of Dodo's sons being young to seize Dodo's white flag, but this time he did not take it for himself, but proposed that Azig be the owner of the white flag.
In this way, even if Dorgon has an opinion, he can't raise it anymore, because isn't that how the Zhengbai Banner he currently leads comes from?
Therefore, now Huang Taiji uses Dorni's young age as an excuse to replace him with Azig as the leader of the white flag. Neither Dorgon nor Duduo's family can say anything.
After all, the uncle will take care of the white flag on behalf of his nephew, and then return it to his nephew Donny when he grows up.
Of course, this is just a rhetoric. The reason why it is said is to stop some people's mouths. Just like Dorgon, after he commanded the Zhengbai Banner, did he ever have the intention to return it to Azig?
Moreover, Azig has completely joined Haug's faction at this moment. Giving this white flag to him is not the same as giving it to Haug.
From this point of view, on the side of the Qing Dynasty, Huang Taiji almost directly controls the power of the entire Qing Dynasty, the four banners of Zhenghuang, Xianghuang, Zhenglan and Xiangbai.
After listening to the words of Prince Li Daishan, Huang Taiji also showed a slight smile on his face. He lay back on the imperial couch and said lightly: "Brother Wang, I am tired and want to rest alone for a while."
Daishan heard what he said and advised Huang Taiji to take a good rest, so he wisely got up and left.
After Daishan left, Huang Taiji called Man Duli and Mu Chengge, two Manchu officials from Shengjing, and asked them carefully about the situation in Shengjing.
Especially regarding Hai Lanzhu's illness, he asked very seriously.
However, Manduli and Mu Chengge were both foreign officials and did not know much about the affairs in the palace, which made Huang Taiji extremely anxious.
People are often like this. The less precise news there is, the easier it is to think of the worst first, and Huang Taiji is no exception.
He was thinking about and concerned about Hailanzhu's condition, so he immediately summoned his bodyguard Baya Labing and asked Fan Wencheng to write a letter on his behalf, which he immediately sent to Shengjing.
The content of the book is also very simple. Except for asking about the situation in Shengjing at the beginning, almost half of the book is about asking about the current situation of Concubine Hai Lanzhu of Guan Sui Palace.
A generation of heroic and heroic emperors could do this, what a great lover!
