Abatai was startled. It turned out that Uyazaran was Abatai's youngest daughter. She was eighteen years old and was very beautiful. She had been quite famous among the royal family since she was a child. When he was thirteen years old,
, it was Huang Taiji's decision to marry Sergulun, the cold-blooded son of a Mongolian Horqin nobleman. Manchu-Mongolian marriages were a practice of the Qing royal family. Although Abatai did not want his daughter to marry far away, he could not refuse Huang Taiji.
The command.
But Uyazalan is Abatai's daughter, and she is very much favored by Abatai. She has been pampered by Abatai since she was a child, and she has developed a very coquettish character. In addition, she was forced to marry far away from Mongolia at a young age.
Being far away from his parents naturally made him feel very dissatisfied. At this time, the Manchus still retained many nomadic customs, and both men and women had to learn riding and shooting skills. Although Uyazalan was not very old, he was led by Abatai and Bo
Influenced by Luo, Yue Le and others, he also likes to travel and hunt, and is good at riding and shooting, and has some martial arts. Although Sergulun is a Mongolian noble, he does not have the martial spirit of his ancestors at all, and is an authentic dude.
Disciple. The result was even less pleasing to Uyazalan.
Therefore, Uyazalan and her husband have always been at odds with each other after their marriage. Even though they have been married for five years, they still rely on their status as a princess and do not take her husband seriously at all. Once the husband and wife had a quarrel, Uyazalan
He was also pampered, and in a fit of rage, he brought his dowry servants over, beat her husband Sergulun violently, and then left the Horqin tribe and returned to her parents' home.
Later, Sergulun and his father Seleng rushed to Shengjing and went to Abatai's house to apologize in person. Unexpectedly, Abatai favored his daughter and showed no respect to the son-in-law and his in-laws, and ordered his family to drive him away.
Seleng and Sergulun had no choice but to find Queen Zhezhe and Concubine Zhuang of the Mongolian Horqin tribe who had married into the Qing Dynasty, and asked them to help negotiate with them. As a result, the matter was brought to Huang Taiji.
.
When Huang Taiji learned about this, he was furious, because the discord between husband and wife was a small matter, but the impact on the relationship between Manchu and Mongolia was a big deal. So he immediately ordered all the princes and ministers to discuss the matter, and it was determined that Abate was fined one silver for protecting Gege.
A thousand taels; Uyazalan himself was ordered to return to her husband's house and apologize to her husband's father-in-law; and all the maids who helped Uyazalan beat the people were executed to serve as a warning to others.
However, more than a month after the judgment was made, Wu Yazalan had not returned to her husband's house, so Huang Taiji was naturally very angry. Abatai also knew that he was in the wrong, and lowered his head and did not dare to look at Huang Taiji. Both of them were speechless.
After a while, Huang Taiji said in a deep voice: "Seventh brother, I think of you and my brother, you have made outstanding contributions and worked hard, so I will not pursue this matter against you, but I will limit you to seven days.
Uyazalan must be sent back to her husband's house, where he will deal with it. If you disobey my orders again, don't blame me for being unkind. You can go home."
After hearing this, Abate had no answer, so he had to say goodbye and go home. He was still thinking about how to prevent his daughter from returning to her husband's house.
After Abate left, Huang Taiji also gave a bitter smile. It is difficult for an upright official to deal with household affairs. This matter may not be a big deal, but it is not a small one. Moreover, Abate cannot be blamed for this matter, so it is very troublesome.
.
At this moment, a eunuch came in and reported: "Your Majesty, Academician Fan wants to see you."
Huang Taiji nodded and said, "Invite him in."
After Fan Wencheng entered the palace, he first saluted the emperor and then said: "Your Majesty, there is news about Shang Yi from the south."
Huang Taiji said: "Oh! What news is it?"
Fan Wencheng said: "Chongzhen ordered Shang Yi to go south to attack Zhang Xianzhong. Sun Chuanting was ordered to go out and fight against Li Zicheng."
Huang Taiji was startled for a moment, then turned around and took out a map of the Ming Dynasty from the bookshelf, and looked at it carefully on the desk. Fan Wencheng did not disturb him, but just waited quietly on the side.
After watching for a while, Huang Taiji said: "Now that Li Zicheng's army is moving north, Chongzhen ordered Shang Yi to go south to attack Zhang Xianzhong. Isn't it just sacrificing the foundation to seek the end? This time the Ming Dynasty went south to quell the rebellion, relying entirely on Shang Yi's army, and the rest
It's not enough to discuss. Did Chongzhen really think that Sun Chuanting's enemy could defeat Li Zicheng? If Shang Yi were to send troops northward and attack from the north and south, it might be possible to defeat Li Zicheng in one fell swoop."
Fan Wencheng said with a smile: "Of course he can't defeat him. Sun Chuanting is just a defeated general of Li Zicheng. How can he defeat Li Zicheng? From Yichen's point of view, it's just a conflict between the DPRK and China. There must be someone in the DPRK who doesn't want to let him go.
Shang Yi and Wu Di succeeded in destroying Li Zicheng, so they came up with such a bad idea, but they never thought about whether Sun Chuanting was Li Zicheng's opponent. It's a pity that Chongzhen thought he was smart and didn't realize that he had been deceived."
Huang Taiji thought for a while and understood immediately. He couldn't help but shook his head and said: "In this case, the Ming Dynasty may come to an end. Sun Chuanting will never be Li Zicheng's opponent, and once Sun Chuanting is defeated, Guanzhong, Henan, and Hebei
The defenses in Shanxi and Beizhili are empty, and there is no way to resist Li Zicheng's men. Li Zicheng can lead his army to attack Beijing. But Shang Yi is still in the south, and the distant water cannot save the nearby fire. Besides, I don't think he will do his best to rescue.
Beijing."
Fan Wencheng said: "At that time, the only way for the Ming Dynasty was to send Wu Sangui's troops from Shanhaiguan to Beijing to defend Xu. In this way, Shanhaiguan's military strength would inevitably be empty, and our opportunity at Daqing would come."
Huang Taiji glanced at Fan Wencheng and couldn't help laughing. Although the Qing Dynasty avoided Shanhaiguan five times and detoured to Mongolia to attack and plunder the Ming Dynasty, Shanhaiguan was in the hands of the Ming Dynasty and it was difficult for Daqing to gain a foothold in the pass. Therefore, Shanhaiguan had great control over Daqing.
For Qing, there is always a problem in his throat. If there is a chance to capture Shanhaiguan in one fell swoop, then the Qing army will be able to advance directly to the capital. It can advance, attack, retreat or defend, occupying an absolutely active position. When Li Zicheng and the Ming Dynasty fight,
After losing both sides, he can send his army south, attack Beijing in one fell swoop, and conquer the Central Plains. It is not impossible to do it. Although Shang Yi is powerful, Bi Jing is still young and is not enough to fully resist the Qing Dynasty. And when he gets there,
At that time, he was the founding monarch of the dynasty and established Daqing's eternal foundation, which was comparable to that of the Tang and Song Dynasties.
At this moment, Huang Taiji couldn't help but ignited his ambition. He said: "Yes, from now on, I, Daqing, will start to gather troops and horses, store grass and food, and just wait for the opportunity to send out troops immediately.
Entering Shanhaiguan."
At this time, Fan Wencheng said again: "Your Majesty, there is one thing. Please make your decision early."
Huang Taiji was startled and said, "What is it?"
Fan Wencheng knelt down again, banged his head on the ground, and said: "I have received the kindness of the emperor, and I have nothing to repay. Today, I risk my life to make a speech and ask the emperor to establish the crown prince as soon as possible to calm the hearts of the world."
Huang Taiji was startled for a moment, and his expression suddenly froze, while Fan Wencheng was still kneeling on the ground, motionless. After a while, Huang Taiji's expression softened a little, and he said: "Mr. Fan, you should get up first. "
Fan Wencheng thanked him and stood up. The expression on his face was still very calm. Huang Taiji couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart. If anyone else had advised him to establish a prince, he would have doubted whether he had ulterior motives. Only Fan Wencheng, Huang Taiji would not doubt it.
In fact, Fan Wencheng defected to Nurhachi when he was still alive, but he was not very important in Nurhachi's era. It was only after Huang Taiji succeeded to the throne that he vigorously promoted Han people, and Fan Wencheng finally came to the fore and became a university professor. Scholars, ranked first among all Han officials. Therefore, he was naturally full of gratitude to Huang Taiji.
Huang Taiji also trusted Fan Wencheng very much, and would discuss many private matters with Fan Wencheng. This was partly because Fan Wencheng was indeed talented, especially in terms of administration and formulation of national policies, which was beyond the reach of Manchu ministers. On the other hand, it is also because Fan Wencheng is a Han and cannot command troops, so he will never be able to threaten his own throne. In addition, Fan Wencheng is under his own men, and he is the most respected official in the world, and no one else can give him the throne. With a higher status, there is no need to worry that he will defect to others, and he can trust Fan Wencheng without any worries.
The establishment of a crown prince was also a concern of Huang Taiji, so only Fan Wencheng could mention it in front of Huang Taiji.
Therefore, Huang Taiji sighed and said: "Mr. Fan, you should also understand. It's not that I don't know the importance of the crown prince, I just don't know who should be appointed. Even if you propose it, who do you think is better? .”
Fan Wencheng certainly knows the reason why Huang Taiji has not established a crown prince. Now Huang Taiji has eight sons in Jianli, but in fact, there are only three people who are qualified to be crown princes: the eldest son Hauge, the ninth son Fulin, and the eleventh son Boguoer.
The eldest son Hauge was mature and had a long history of military exploits. However, the status of Hauge's biological mother and step-concubine Uranala was too low, and he received too little support from his mother after succeeding to the throne, which made Huang Taiji a little uncomfortable. rest assured.
The biological mother of the ninth son Fulin was Zhuang Fei Borjigit, who was born in the Horqin tribe of Mongolia. The biological mother of the eleventh son Bogor was the eldest noble concubine Borjigit, who was born in the Abahai tribe of Mongolia. That's enough. Although Concubine Zhuang's title is lower than that of the Grand Concubine, she is the Queen's niece, and she is favored by Huang Taiji, so she is on par with the Grand Concubine. But these two One of the princes was only six years old, and the other was only four years old. They were not adults at all. Therefore, Huang Taiji was in a dilemma.
Fan Wencheng said: "The establishment of a crown prince is a state matter, but who should be appointed as the prince is a family matter of the emperor. I dare not speak nonsense. I also ask the emperor to make a decision as soon as possible."
Huang Taiji also gave a wry smile. Naturally, he knew in his heart that now the three parties have become a force, facing each other tit for tat, and they are all secretly competing for Taiji's position. Although he is suppressing it now, he still dare not The fight is overt, but the secret fight is also very fierce. It is conceivable that once I am no longer here, I don’t know what the fight between these three parties will be like.
At this time, Fan Wencheng said: "Actually, the emperor is in his prime in the Spring and Autumn Period, and there is no need to think about the affairs after his death so early. However, if the country does not have a crown prince, chaos will inevitably arise in the long run, and the outside world must be settled first. Therefore, the establishment of a prince early is just to stabilize people's hearts. This leaves little people no chance to take advantage of it."
Huang Taiji nodded. Fan Wencheng was right. The reason for their fight was that the crown prince had not been confirmed yet. If the crown prince was appointed, the fight would be much less. At least most of the ministers in the court would switch to the crown prince.
Come here. Without the support of the ministers, the remaining two factions will not be able to make a big fuss even if they want to.
