Ming politicians

After Fan Wencheng returned to the mansion, he closed the door tightly, ignored the information, and sat alone in the study, crying.There is no fear in his heart. What he just said in front of the emperor is just the tip of the iceberg. Although it seems that his status in the Qing Dynasty is very prominent, how long can this prominent status be maintained? It can be clearly stated that once the emperor and the courtiers, if something unexpected happens to the emperor, what way out can he have? Looking around, Daishan, Dorgon, Duoduo, Jierhalang and others are staring at him, and they have no way out for him at all. Good impression, once something goes wrong with Huang Taiji, I may be the first person to be liquidated.

Although the Qing Dynasty has been established for many years, Fan Wencheng's inner worries are increasing day by day. Huang Taiji has no suitable heir at all, and he has not made a will. Yes, it's a pity that this kid's life is too thin, he died when he was less than two years old. Since then, Huang Taiji has never talked about setting up a crown prince, which is actually abnormal.

Huang Taiji is 52 years old. At this age, any accidents are possible. Look at the sons of Huang Taiji. At present, there are no one who can take on the big responsibility. Haoge is reckless and resourceful by nature. Even if he inherited the throne, how could he be the opponent of Dorgon and others? Ye Busu is too young. Although he is the deputy commander of the navy, he has never experienced battles, and he doesn't have much influence among the Manchu nobles. Not as good as Hauge.

Let's take a look at Daishan, Dorgon and others. Although Daishan is old, the former four Baylors are in charge of Zhenghongqi and Xianghongqi, and their strength is extraordinary.At least on the heir to the throne, he has a crucial right to speak, and the most threatening one is Dorgon. A few years ago, Fan Wencheng heard a rumor.It is said that when the former emperor Nurhachi passed away, he asked Huang Taiji to pass on the position of Great Khan to Dorgon in the future. It is impossible to investigate the truth of this rumor, but this reflects that Dorgon has ambitions.

What's more terrible.The Qing Dynasty had just been established, and everything was under Huang Taiji's control. Whether the succession of the throne would be passed on to his sons or brothers, Huang Taiji had no conclusion.This makes the situation more complicated. [

But at this time, Concubine Chen was seriously ill.

Huang Taiji didn't know how many important things needed to be done, how could he indulge in the love of his children, if he was overworked or sad, so that his body got sick, it would not only be a disaster for the Qing Dynasty.It was even more of a disaster for him, Fan Wencheng, no matter who would inherit the throne, he, Fan Wencheng, would have no way out.

It is impossible to take refuge in Ming Dynasty, even if the Ming court allows it, I am afraid that the common people will not agree, the only way out is still in Huang Taiji, but Huang Taiji has many concubines, in case one of them has a headache and fever, or even Xiang Xiaoyu died.Since then, Huang Taiji has never recovered, and he can still resist for a few days.

If there is still no change in Huang Taiji, Fan Wencheng may have to consider his own way out. If there is no other way, he should take his family with him.Across the ocean, get out of here, save yourself and your family.

The more Fan Wencheng thought about it, the more sad he felt. All these years of hard work were about to turn into misty clouds.

Because he knew very well that Concubine Chen's health was very bad, and there might be an accident at some point. If Huang Taiji didn't think about eating and drinking, or even ignored the Qing Dynasty because of this incident, then anything would happen.

Having been by Huang Taiji's side for so many years, Fan Wencheng has analyzed many problems. It should be said that the Qing Dynasty is still unstable. A mature dynasty needs to have many elements. These elements are lacking in the Qing Dynasty. But through time, It is also possible to gradually make up for and correct these defects and factors.The guarantee of all these lies in Huang Taiji's body.

Fan Wencheng was very afraid of that Su Tiancheng of Ming Dynasty. He had a vague feeling that this Su Tiancheng was sent by the heavens to cause trouble for the Qing Dynasty. Six years have passed, and the Qing Dynasty has been unable to expand. The lack of development, seeing Liaodong becoming more and more stable, and the Ming Dynasty slowly beginning to prosper, all have a great relationship with this Su Tiancheng.

But no matter what, this time is an excellent opportunity. Su Tiancheng left Liaodong, and the overjoyed Chen Xinjia came to Liaodong to plan an attack on the Qing Dynasty and became the coach. All this shows that Su Tiancheng has received suspicion Well, maybe it won't be long, Su Tiancheng will be shocked because of his great achievements, and the thorough news that the Qing Dynasty will soon be able to point his sword at the Central Plains.

Such a good opportunity, but because of women's affairs, Huang Taiji doesn't think about eating and drinking, and doesn't care about major affairs in the court. Isn't this the most dangerous signal.

More than an hour passed, and Fan Wencheng, who hadn't eaten all day, felt physically and mentally exhausted, but he didn't want to eat, and his mind was in chaos. Harang and others regarded it as normal. Could it be said that the rich and powerful of the Manchus are all infatuated men, and they can give up the country for the sake of beauty, but the Nurhachi I know is not like this at all.

Fan Wencheng is also aware of one of the great secrets of the Qing Dynasty, that is, Dorgon has an unusual affection for Concubine Zhuang. Concubine Zhuang is the sister of Concubine Chen and the concubine of Huang Taiji. This kind of love, in the eyes of any dynasty , are absolutely not allowed, and are capital crimes.

I'm afraid it was also because of knowing about this matter, coupled with the gradual prosperity of the Ming Dynasty, that Fan Wencheng felt desperate for Huang Taiji's concern for women so much.

When the housekeeper came to knock on the door, Fan Wencheng was in a bad mood and was thinking of getting angry, but unexpectedly the study door was opened.

The study was pitch-black, and Fan Wencheng didn't light a candle.

Before he could speak, a familiar voice appeared.

"What's wrong with Wen Cheng, I'm here specially, it's so dark."

Fan Wencheng, who was in a hurry, knelt down quickly by the faint light revealed by the door.

"The emperor arrived, but the slaves didn't know it, so they couldn't greet him. I implore the emperor to forgive me."[

The housekeeper lit a candle, and the study room soon became brighter.

With a smile on his face, Huang Taiji finally saw Fan Wencheng clearly.

Fan Wencheng's hair was a little disheveled, his face was pale, and there were still tears on his face.

Huang Taiji personally helped Fan Wencheng up.

"Wen Cheng, today's matter is my fault. You are right. I have no family affairs. It was my negligence. It almost made you feel disheartened. I figured it out, so I came here to take a look."

Fan Wencheng stood up with some difficulty. Huang Taiji had already asked the housekeeper. Fan Wencheng hadn't eaten or drank all day. If this continues, his health will definitely not work.

Huang Taiji personally ordered the housekeeper to prepare meals immediately, and he and Fan Wencheng ate and drank together.

Seeing Huang Taiji coming to the mansion, Fan Wencheng's mood suddenly improved. He knew who Huang Taiji was, and once he could see it, he would know what to do.

"Your Majesty, this servant is being reckless. I don't know how the Concubine Chen is doing. When this servant asked to see the Emperor, I originally wanted to ask about it, but I was so excited and babbled nonsense that I didn't mention it."

Huang Taiji was very moved and patted Fan Wencheng's shoulder lightly.

"Wen Cheng, I realized at this time that you are the number one loyal minister of my Qing Dynasty. None of the brothers and nephews around me can compare to you. I have been indulging in the harem these days. You dare to take the risk of being punished and persuade me to put the country's affairs first. This is true loyalty. Concubine Chen has woken up, but her health is still not good. I also understand that the country's affairs are the most important. If I can indulge in the harem, if I can't pull myself together, what face will I have to face my father and you loyal subjects in the future."

Fan Wencheng couldn't help crying again.

"Hehe, Wen Cheng, you have been by my side for so many years, but this is the first time I have seen you so sad, not for my own affairs, but for my affairs, your tears, I remember, from today In the beginning, no matter when and where, as long as you think of something, you can go to the palace to see me at any time, if there is something wrong with me, you can complain at any time, and I will not blame you."

"The servant complies with the order, and the servant must do his best to serve the emperor."

A few minutes later, the eunuch came in to report that dinner was ready.

This was the first time that Huang Taiji ate in Fan Wencheng's mansion, and it was Fan Wencheng's great honor. Fan Wencheng's family was by his side, and Huang Taiji asked questions one by one with a smile.

After Fan Wencheng's family retired, Huang Taiji began to discuss with Fan Wencheng the matter of facing the Ming army. Fan Wencheng had already considered it. The Eight Banners are divided into several armies, how to attack Dalinghe City and Jinzhou City while ambushing the Ming army, and how to block the Ming army's retreat, including how to guard Shenyang, etc., have come out.

Huang Taiji listened very carefully. Facing the map, he kept asking questions, and Fan Wencheng answered them calmly.

While discussing among the monarchs and ministers, the various commanders who led the army were also determined. Hauge and Azige followed Huang Taiji and led an army to confront the attacking Ming army. For the Ming army in Yizhou, Dorgon led a large army to attack Dalinghe City and Jinzhou City, and cooperated with Duoduo to ensure that the attacking [-] Ming troops were wiped out.

It took an hour to eat a meal.

When Huang Taiji left, he was very happy and asked the eunuchs around him to deliver an order to discuss matters in the Chongzheng Hall the next day, and to finalize all the preparations for the battle against the Ming army.

Fan Wencheng was even happier. He seemed to have seen that the warriors of the Qing Dynasty wiped out the invading Ming army, and the Guanning Jin defense line of the Ming Dynasty became precarious. The Emperor Chongzhen in the capital was in a hurry. (to be continued...)[
