Chapter 974: The so-called enough respect
The information that Emperor Taiji of the Great Qing Dynasty died of illness and his son Fulin succeeded him as the emperor of the Great Qing Dynasty was quickly sent to the capital of the Ming Dynasty.
The Governor's Mansion and the Ministry of War are making every effort to prepare for the attack on the Great Qing Kingdom, the arrival of this news, so that Zheng Jinhong and others are very happy, in their opinion, the death of Huang Taiji, will be a heavy blow to the Great Qing State, the imperial army will take advantage of this time to attack, will be able to achieve a complete victory, in one fell swoop to destroy the Great Qing State.
In the Qianqing Palace, Zheng Xunrui looked at the information sent by the Investigation Department alone for a long time.
Xu Wanghua, the first assistant of the cabinet, and Zheng Jinhong, the cabinet minister and the governor of the Metropolitan Governor's Office, entered the Qianqing Palace.
Zheng Xunrui put down the paperwork in his hand and spoke to the two.
"I have always regarded Huang Taiji as my biggest opponent, but unfortunately, it is impossible for me to face off with Huang Taiji."
Xu Wanghua and Zheng Jinhong originally came to congratulate him, and when they heard the emperor say this, they were stunned, and they didn't know what to say for a while, to have an opponent like Huang Taiji, maybe it was a kind of happiness for the master duel, but in any case, the emperor has always been focused on the interests of the Ming Dynasty, and over the years since he ascended the throne, the emperor has spared no effort to strengthen the sailors, expeditions overseas, so that European countries are afraid, exterminate the Tokugawa family of the Japanese shogunate, support the Tagawa family, and let Japan fall back into the Warring States Period, The emperor attaches great importance to the development of overseas trade and commerce, so that the imperial court and officials at all levels can obtain a large number of taxes, which are the foundation and driving force for the gradual prosperity of the Ming Dynasty.
As for the emperor's emphasis on agriculture, his concern for farmers, and the concept of people-oriented, it is even more imprinted in the hearts of Xu Wanghua and others.
Xu Wanghua and Zheng Jinhong's expressions, Zheng Xunrui saw it clearly, and he spoke again.
"Huang Taiji died of illness. It is a heavy blow to the Great Qing Kingdom, I know that you are happy about this matter, the imperial army is about to start the conquest of the Great Qing Kingdom, without a strong emperor like Huang Taiji, the Great Qing Kingdom is almost leaderless, unable to resist the imperial army. Tell me what you think, or what you have to suggest. ”
Xu Wanghua looked at Zheng Jinhong and slowly spoke.
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the imperial army needs to seize this opportunity, quickly cross the Liao River, and directly launch an attack on Shenyang, which is the capital of the Great Qing State and the symbol of the Great Qing State, as long as the imperial army can take Shenyang. The hearts of the people of the Great Qing Kingdom will be completely dispersed, which will herald the complete destruction of the Great Qing Kingdom......"
Zheng Jinhong didn't speak, but when Xu Wanghua spoke, he nodded slightly.
After Xu Wanghua finished speaking, a noncommittal smile appeared on Zheng Xunrui's face.
Xu Wanghua didn't speak anymore, he knew that such a smile appeared on the emperor's face, that is, his own analysis was not very accurate.
Sure enough, the emperor quickly spoke.
"Huang Taiji is also a generation of heroes. It created the Great Qing Dynasty and allowed the Great Qing Kingdom to stand at the peak for a long time. Such a person should be respected, I have long said that respecting the opponent is respecting oneself, in order to show respect for Huang Taiji, I decided to postpone it for a month, a month later. The Great Army only began its attack on the Great Qing Kingdom. ”
Xu Wanghua and Zheng Jinhong did not speak, and they did not show a look of surprise on their faces, they knew that the emperor would never delay the dispatch of troops for such a reason, and there should be other more important reasons.
"Huang Taiji died of illness, and his son Fulin, who was only ten years old, became emperor. What is the reason for this, I have also carefully analyzed it, and there is a lot of article. ”
"Haoge is the eldest son of Huang Taiji, and was canonized as a prince when the Qing Dynasty was established, it can be seen that Huang Taiji attaches great importance to Haoge, according to reason, Huang Taiji died of illness, and Haoge should inherit the throne."
"A ten-year-old child, who has never been on the battlefield, and does not know the cruelty of the power game, why should he be an emperor, I think Dolgon is the best candidate for the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, and he is the next best, Hauge is also much stronger than Fulin."
"The emergence of such an arrangement can only show that there are major problems within the Great Qing Kingdom, and the contest of various forces has reached its peak."
"Dolgon can't be enthroned as the emperor of the Great Qing Kingdom, which is very understandable, because there are candidates among the heirs of Huang Taiji, and it is not Dolgon's turn, but Haoge, as the eldest son of the emperor, has not been able to inherit the throne, which is somewhat interesting, indicating that some people are unwilling to become the emperor of the Great Qing Kingdom, and the strength of these people is by no means ordinary."
"What I am most interested in is what these princes, county kings, Baylor and Beizi of the Great Qing Kingdom will think after Fulin becomes the emperor of the Great Qing Kingdom, and what kind of actions they will make, Fulin cannot really hold power, so whose hands will the power be."
"I believe that Fu Lin's appointment as emperor of the Great Qing Kingdom is just the end of the power game."
"Next, these powerful people in the Great Qing Kingdom will definitely not live in peace, and the best opportunity to coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes is in front of them, it is really strange to say that those Manchurian nobles are indifferent."
"The internal strife in the Great Qing Kingdom will inevitably occur."
"These Manchu nobles think too simply, thinking that by letting a child become the emperor, they will be able to keep their own power and interests, and they will be able to stabilize the Great Qing Kingdom, whimsical, I have to say that these Manchu nobles are by no means focused on the interests of the Great Qing Dynasty, what they care about is their own power, and what they despise is the future of the Great Qing Kingdom."
"The situation of disintegration between the Manchu nobles is about to appear, at this time, I want to say that I am going to conquer the imperial army and prepare to destroy the Great Qing Kingdom in one fell swoop, you think about it, what kind of situation will arise."
When the emperor said this, Xu Wanghua had completely understood.
"Your Majesty, the minister understands that if the imperial army chooses to attack at this time, then the Manchu nobles of the Great Qing Kingdom will abandon their previous suspicions and unite to ...... the outside world."
Zheng Xunrui smiled and nodded.
"The imperial court quickly spread the news, saying that I admired Huang Taiji very much, and on the occasion of Huang Taiji's death, I also want to show respect, and the overall situation of the imperial court will not launch an attack on the Great Qing Kingdom for the time being."
When the cabinet discussed this matter, Zhou Yanru, the second assistant of the cabinet, first understood the mystery, after all, he had experienced many power struggles in the imperial court, and Zhou Yanru was still very familiar with these things.
After learning of the emperor's judgment, the cabinet ministers were very in awe and admiration.
Great Qing Kingdom, Shenyang, Dazheng Palace.
The news of the Ming army's postponement of the offensive soon reached Shenyang, and this matter naturally aroused the great attention of the Manchu nobles.
Some simple-minded Manchu nobles expressed their joy at this, and even the emperor of the Ming Dynasty admired the emperor, isn't this the great pride of the Qing Dynasty, and even Prince Su Haoge was happy about this.
However, there are still people who understand in the Qing Kingdom, at least Dai Shan, Zilharang and Dolgon, who are not very happy, knowing that they have already held back their strength and are ready to have a good argument about guarding Shenyang or relocating the capital.
Don't underestimate this controversy, this is related to the attribution of power in the Qing Dynasty.
In fact, after Fu Lin ascended the throne, the struggle for power began immediately, and the two main parties were Zilharan and Dorgon.
Dai Shan really showed another retreat, every time he discussed the matter, he used his old age, his memory was a little unclear, and he didn't express any opinions, as for the controversy in the discussion, Dai Shan would not lean towards either side, but remained completely neutral.
Dai Shan's attitude is simply unable to assume the responsibility of the head of the four auxiliary ministers.
Between Zilharang and Dolgon, the overall strength of the two is about the same, but there is still a gap between Zilharang, at least among the Manchurian nobles, Dolgon's prestige is much higher.
Zilharang had pinned his hopes on Hauge, but he soon found that Haug could not really rely on him.
Hauge is the son of the first emperor, even if Fulin inherited the throne, he is Hauge's younger brother anyway, if Dolgon inherits the throne, Hauge may not have a good life, although Hauge has not been able to inherit the throne, but he can retreat to the second, it is already the current situation, Hauge should also be at ease.
The actual situation is not like this, Hauge is worried about Fulin's succession to the throne, and he has no good face for Fulin, which makes Jilharang very disappointed, and several times Jilharang reminded Haoge from the side, but Haoge couldn't listen to it at all, and always put on a desperate posture.
Zilharan knew he couldn't unite Hauge.
It was at this time that Zilharang knew that he would become Dorgon's main opponent, and the game between them would break out in a short period of time, and the game between the two of them was related to the future of the Great Qing Kingdom, but also to the future of the two of them and their families.
At this point, Zilharan would not back down, and Dolgon would not back down.
If the Ming army launched an attack immediately, Zilharang and Dolgon were likely to temporarily abandon the dispute and unite to deal with the attack of the Ming army, the emperor had just passed away, and no one dared to propose the matter of moving the capital at this time, no matter how strong the Ming army was, they were going to fight hard, but the news that the Ming army had suspended the attack came, so that the suffocating Jilharang and Dolgon instantly lost their direction.
That is to say, the original direction of the two was to face the Ming army together, and the Ming court and the Ming army were their biggest enemies, but the enemy of the Ming army suddenly disappeared temporarily, and the contradiction between the two rose to the main contradiction.
For the first time, Zilharang and Dolgon really felt the power of Emperor Zheng Xunrui of the Ming Dynasty.
At this point, the two must fight for power with real swords and guns, being able to compete for the right to speak, being able to speak and count, it is equivalent to the emperor of the Great Qing Dynasty, as for the emperor Fulin who is only ten years old, including Fulin's mother Concubine Zhuang, it is impossible to really grasp power.
Dai Shan was afraid that he understood the truth, and after the news of the Ming army's postponement of the attack came, he simply said that he was sick at home and would not go to the Dazheng Hall at all. (To be continued.) )
