Ming politicians

As a Han, Fan Wencheng was not qualified to participate in the establishment of the crown prince in the Qing Dynasty, but Huang Taiji still found Fan Wencheng. After Dai Shan left the Chongzheng Hall, Fan Wencheng entered the Chongzheng Hall.

Huang Taiji has already made a decision, but strictly speaking, he is the first emperor of the Qing Dynasty, and it is necessary to be very cautious in establishing the crown prince. This is also for the subsequent development of the Qing Dynasty and established After the crown prince, he wanted to ask for advice to make himself more determined without any hesitation. This is a human instinct.

The reason why he talked about the crown prince with Fan Wencheng, Huang Taiji's main purpose is to let Fan Wencheng assist Hauge very well, and try his best to put forward some good suggestions and opinions on key matters and at critical times.

When Fan Wencheng was about to kneel down to salute, Huang Taiji stopped him. He still stood where he was and supported Fan Wencheng. This made Fan Wencheng tearfully grateful. Anyone would be moved by such trust and courtesy.

Huang Taiji spoke very directly, telling Fan Wencheng that he had made a decision to make Hauge the crown prince of the Qing Dynasty, and hoped that Fan Wencheng could assist Hauge well, and Huang Taiji spoke bluntly about Hauge's shortcomings , Including Hauge's temper is a bit grumpy, thinking about problems tends to be simple, he doesn't like to think about complicated problems, lacks certain coordination skills, etc., but these shortcomings have time to correct.

After Huang Taiji finished speaking, Fan Wencheng still knelt down.

The words that Huang Taiji said were quite in the sense of asking for Gu, that is, making Fan Wencheng the assistant minister. For a Han Chinese, it is not easy to get such a high trust and entrustment from Huang Taiji Things are up, think about the Ming Dynasty.Every minister of Tuogu was a barbarian at home and abroad. They were all great figures, and they were also the most trusted ministers of the emperor. Moreover, all the assistant ministers of the Ming Dynasty were Han Chinese.It is impossible for the appearance of aliens.

After all, the Qing Dynasty was a Manchurian country, and it was probably a miracle that a Han person could become a minister of state affairs.

Thinking of this, Fan Wencheng couldn't help but be moved, he choked up and spoke, expressing that he would do his best to assist the crown prince and die.

After Fan Wencheng left, Hauge entered the Chongzheng Palace.

this time.Huang Taiji asked Hauge to kneel down, his expression was very serious, and he looked at Hauge for a while.

"Haoge, I have already made a decision to make you the Crown Prince of the Qing Kingdom."

Hauge, who was kneeling on the ground, trembled a bit. Although he said that he had such an idea long ago, when the thing really came.He still had trouble controlling his emotions.

Seeing the trembling Hauge, Huang Taiji frowned slightly.He didn't show any expression of dissatisfaction. Anyone who encounters such a thing will show excitement. What's more, the Manchus in the Qing Dynasty seldom hide their emotions and have any happy things.Most of it shows on the face.

"Haug, being an emperor is not that easy. I have a lot to say, and I wanted to talk to you, but I changed my mind. You are not young, and you have a lot of understanding, some of which have been settled, If I said it, it might not be of much use, but I would like to warn you of two things, to let you know that the Zuo Emperor did not do whatever he wanted."

"The first point is that you must be able to endure grievances. You are shouldering the important task of the prosperity of the Qing Dynasty. In order to achieve this goal, you must have comprehensive thinking and be able to listen to good opinions and suggestions. Although sometimes, these suggestions It may hurt your self-esteem, especially in my Qing Dynasty, there are some Manchu nobles who look down on the Han people and think that the Han people are the slaves of the Manchus. They will not understand how it is possible to revitalize our Qing Dynasty with hundreds of thousands of Manchus. You have a bad temper, I am very worried about this, and I am afraid that you will not be able to endure grievances, so that you will not be able to listen to your opinions and suggestions."

"The second point is to use power with caution. Many people think that to be an emperor is to have the power of life and death, and you can take people's lives at will. In fact, that is a misunderstanding. I have never felt this way. Even if I want to deal with someone It needs to be carefully considered, and decisions will never be made lightly. I know very well that every time I make a decision, many people will look at me to see if I have dealt with it fairly. If there are too many things that I have not done well , What we lost was the support of a large group of people.”

"I just want to tell you these two points. You can understand the rest by yourself. Once I make you the crown prince, you will not be able to personally participate in the conquest. Unless it is a special case, you need to assist in the palace." I handle many matters, and you need to adapt as quickly as possible."

"I hope you can use the fastest speed to handle the affairs of the court and the affairs of the Qing Dynasty well."

"I especially remind you that you need to know people well, and you need the support of the vast majority of people. Only in this way can you truly handle the affairs of the court. You know Fan Wencheng's ability, and I have already entrusted it to you. Fan Wencheng, I will help you a lot, and you should ask for more opinions. Don’t think that Fan Wencheng is a Han. In terms of personal ability, the ability of the Han to handle government affairs is better than that of many Manchus.”

On April [-]th, the seventh year of Chongde, Huang Taiji summoned ministers to formally appoint the crown prince.

The timing is so coincidental. Today, seven years ago, that is, on April [-]th, the ninth year of Chongzhen, Huang Taiji officially proclaimed himself emperor in Shenyang, changed the Yuan Dynasty to Chongde, and established the Qing Dynasty.

Seven years have passed, and many things have happened. The Qing Dynasty has not become as powerful as Huang Taiji imagined, and taking control of the Central Plains has become an unattainable dream. There were also several confrontations between Tian Cheng, and Su Tiancheng basically won the victory.

This situation cannot continue.

Huang Taiji felt that the establishment of the crown prince would stabilize the foundation of the Qing Dynasty, and by taking advantage of this opportunity, the Qing Dynasty would surely achieve great development.

The ceremony for registering Huang Taiji is not very complicated.

Huang Taiji doesn't particularly pay attention to form, he pays more attention to reality.

Daishan led many princes, county kings, Baylor and Beizi to bow to Haoge, and Fan Wencheng led many Han ministers to bow to Haoge.

Hauge controlled his emotions very well, and did not show a smug look.

During the whole ceremony, Huang Taiji paid special attention to the expressions of Dorgon, Duoduo, Azige and others. What he saw made him not very satisfied, and even worried.

There was no expression on Dorgon's face, and no emotion could be seen. On Duoduo's face, there was a trace of dissatisfaction. As for Azig, he was not only dissatisfied, but even angry.

This is not a good situation. Dorgon's ability is extraordinary, and among the rich and powerful, there are many people who support him, especially Duo Duo, who controls the white flag and can give Dorgon the greatest If Hauge cannot control the imperial court and correct his own shortcomings in a short period of time, even if he ascends to the throne after Huang Taiji Longyu's death, he may not be able to stabilize the situation in the Qing Dynasty.

Hauge was registered as the crown prince. Huang Taiji did not discuss this matter with Dorgon. Jierhalang, who was far away in the capital of Daming, knew about this matter. Huang Taiji sent a letter to Jierhalang. Erharan also expressed his full support, expressing that he would spare no effort to assist Hauge.

Huang Taiji also thought about discussing with Dorgon, but some of Dorgon's actions that violated the principle chilled Huang Taiji, and he didn't want to exchange such important opinions with Dorgon.

Huang Taiji, who is not in good health, can only beg God to bless him, so that he can live a few more years, guide Hauge to act as an agent of the government, and let Hauge get familiar with all the things in the court as soon as possible.

The ceremony for the establishment of the crown prince also included Hauge's visit to the empress.

Hauge's mother is Huang Taiji's second concubine, Ulanara, not the empress. This also involves matters in the harem. After Hauge succeeds to the throne in the future, how to treat the empress? Let Hauge visit the empress Empress, in fact, Hauge got the support of the harem. Hauge was canonized as the crown prince, and the status of the Ulanara family must have changed a lot. Mothers are more expensive than children, whether it is the Ming Dynasty or the Qing Dynasty The same reason.

The ceremony for the establishment of the Crown Prince lasted for half a day.

Huang Taiji didn't make any big publicity, and even declared secrecy to a certain extent. Of course, Hauge became the crown prince. This news will be publicized sooner or later, but not now, because Jierhalang is still in the Ming Dynasty The capital, if such news is leaked out, I am afraid it will have a bad influence.

Of course, Huang Taiji has also mastered the time. In fact, the ceremony for enshrining Huang Taiji can be held in March, but at that time, the negotiations between the Qing Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty had not yet come to an end. It's all over, and Jierhalang will soon leave the Daming capital. At this time, the appointment of the crown prince will not have any adverse effects on Jierhalang.

The time when the publicity really started was when Jierharang returned to Shenyang.

The fact that Hauge became the crown prince of the Qing Dynasty spread quickly. After all, this is a big event, and it is impossible to hide it. Besides, not only the Manchu nobles are concerned, but even many Han people are also paying close attention to this matter. Regarding this matter, who will succeed the emperor, what kind of character he will have, and how he will treat the Manchus and Han Chinese, this involves everyone's personal interests.

Huang Taiji did not stop the spread of the news. At this time, Jierhalang had already left the capital of Daming and returned to Shenyang. Huang Taiji had nothing to worry about. (To be continued..)
