456 There are always surprises
It was the yellow jacket that returned to the palace who heard the rumors in the palace that Huang Taiji had actually had a last word before he died, and appointed the heir to the throne.
When Oboi heard this, he immediately inquired about the situation before Huang Taiji died. Of course, this situation had actually been asked before, but he didn't pay attention to it at that time. When he could go to verify it, there were clues.
So, under the discussion of many princes of the Qing Dynasty, Obai said to Daishan and others, "Before his death, the first emperor must know who will inherit the throne, which is the most important thing of the Qing Dynasty. Therefore, after waking up, the first emperor made an appointment and said the word "Concubine Zhuang". The slaves didn't care before, but now they realized that the meaning of the former emperor should be to let the prince born to Concubine Zhuang be my Emperor of the Qing Dynasty!"
When Haoge heard this, he jumped up and shouted, "That little brat Fulin? Are you crazy? How could he be the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty?"
Dai Shan had also inquired about the situation before Huang Taiji was dying, but he didn't care about this at that time. When Oboi said this, his heart suddenly moved. He glanced at the angry Haoge, Duoduo and his son Yuetuo with disdain, and then looked at Dorgon and Ajige with flashing eyes. He spoke, "That's right, this is how the Emperor of the First Emperor should have arranged it. Prince Fulin is indeed young, but he is a talent for being a good person. Before he took power, did the Emperor of the First Emperor also decide on the kings' discussions? This has been clear, and this is how it is arranged!"
When Huang Taiji was seriously ill, he did issue an order to say that all matters in the court would be discussed by the kings and then report to Huang Taiji to make a decision.
However, if the emperor's position was really determined to be inherited by Fulin, the practice of inheriting the father and the son would basically be decided, and other descendants of Huang Taiji would not have any chance. Therefore, everyone present was not willing to accept it except Dai Shan.
When Oboi saw this, he immediately strode to Ajige.
When Ajige saw him, he turned his head and refused to reconcile Oboi. He knew what Oboi was coming over and wanted to say without asking.
However, Oboi didn't care. He just came to him and got very close. When Ajige wanted to get angry, he heard Oboi whisper in a voice that only he could hear: "How did Prince Zheng die? Do you need to say it?"
When Ajige heard this, he felt as if he was struck by lightning. He opened his eyes wide and stared at Oboi, his face still a little pale.
At this time, he naturally knew that Oboi must have known the truth, otherwise it would be impossible for him to suddenly tell the matter for no reason.
Indeed, Oboi was Huang Taiji's confidant. After Chen Shaozong handed over the briefing that he received from Lu Xiangsheng to Geng Zhongming, he came to Huang Taiji's hands. Oboi also saw it.
But I didn't expect that it could be used to threaten Azig now.
"What's going on?" Duoduo immediately asked after seeing that, as if the situation was a little bad.
Ajige knew that if he persisted and refused to support Fulin's succession, Oboi would definitely say it. He killed Jirgalang with his own hands in order to let the Emperor of Ming back and kill Huang Taiji. No matter what, it would be fatal to him.
Therefore, under Oboi's stare, Ajig said with an extremely ugly expression: "It's nothing, I want to pass it. For the future of the Qing Dynasty, Prince Fulin's succession is the best, I agree!"
Whoever does not understand anyone here knows who Ajig will say such words must be related to what Oboi said in a low voice. However, no matter what, at least Ajig has already made a statement.
When Dai Shan saw this, he immediately stared at another prince without military power, Dorgon, and said, "You have always been valued by the late emperor and praised you as a rare rational general of the Qing Dynasty. Therefore, even if you lost 30,000 Qing soldiers in the Battle of Tianjin, you did not blame you. In the Battle of Tashan, you were wiped out and even affected the Korean war situation. In this way, the late emperor just imprisoned you in the clan's palace. In the current situation in the Qing Dynasty, you let you go out to overcome the national crisis. Do you have to be worthy of the late emperor's kindness?"
The old emperor was kind to him? Haha, if Huang Taiji had not suppressed his strength, he would have been eliminated like Amin and Mangourtai. Dorgon thought in his heart, but he sneered. However, there was one thing he could not deny. After Huang Taiji ascended the throne and became emperor, he was really good to him. Just what Daishan said, if someone else had changed to someone else, he would definitely not be treated like this.
Dai Shan said this matter today, and it will definitely be spread to everyone. In this way, if he still disagrees with Fulin as the emperor, his reputation in the Qing Dynasty would be bad.
Thinking of this, Dorgon couldn't help but sigh in his heart. He could only think that he had no military power at the moment, which was his own weakness. Fortunately, Fulin was still young, and even if he agreed to be the emperor, he would have a few years to become an emperor. With his talent, he should still have a chance.
Thinking of this and after weighing the pros and cons, Dorgon glanced at Duoduo and had to speak, "Since the late emperor has already given the order, then do as the late emperor wants!"
In this way, among the people present, Oboi, Daishan, Ajige and Dorgon all supported Fulin's succession, and the remaining Haoge, Duoduo and Yuetuo, each had their own interests and could not unite. In the end, they had to compromise.
Therefore, with great inertia, history finally ascended the throne and became emperor. However, Dorgon was originally the regent, but now, all the kings are discussing politics, all of them are regents.
If Huang Taiji really had the spirit in the sky, I wonder if he would be angry if he would die! When he woke up, he was not the heir to the throne, but the safety of Hai Lanzhu. When he said the word "Concubine Zhuang", he actually wanted to kill Concubine Zhuang. Now, this Concubine Zhuang became the empress dowager, and her son became the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty!
In fact, it is not accidental that such a result occurs.
Bumu Butai was a smart person. When she knew that Huang Taiji wanted to kill her, she started to attack without a trace. Later, she was worried that what Huang Taiji said would be unfavorable to her, so she tried every means to find out the details of Huang Taiji before her death. Based on the current situation, she discovered an opportunity from it and began to spread the words that Oboi heard in the palace. In the end, she got what she wanted!
At the same time, her confidant female official suddenly died, and under her power, no one pursued her. In the harem, Bumu Butai was respected, and Zhezhe had to stand aside.
Subsequently, Dorgon began to show his more powerful side in Jianlu, and immediately began to dominate how to deal with Ming State based on the current situation. Others were really inferior to him in this regard.
"The Qing army must be supplemented more. However, the Ming country is strong and the Han people are no longer reliable." Dorgon talked at the Six Kings Conference, "The Qing Dynasty should once again conquer the Solon tribe to replenish the Qing army!"
The Solon tribe was still in the northern part of the Qing Dynasty. According to the original history, it was not until February of the 16th year of Chongzhen that it had been the third northern expedition to the Solon tribe. However, on this plane, at the suggestion of Dorgon, this incident happened in advance.
No one else has any objection to Dorgon's suggestion.
In fact, after experiencing the battle for the throne, Dai Shan's health became worse than before, as if he had consumed all the energy he had saved in that matter. Therefore, these six kings were basically absent from the political discussions, and they were really indispensable, and they were dozing off.
Without Dai Shan in charge, Dorgon bullied the other people with his ability and eloquence, such as Haoge, Ajige and others. That was more than enough. Yue Tuo occasionally competed with him. However, the two had a different seniority, and Dorgon had Duoduo's help. Therefore, although he had no military power, he could take the initiative.
The matter of the Northern Expedition to Soren was settled like this. He was even willing to lead the army north in this cold season and let him do this.
Emperor Chongzhen was a little regretful about these things that happened in Liaodong. However, it was just a bit regretful, but there was no threat.
Not to mention that Huang Taiji is dead, even if he is not dead, he will still beat Jianlu for one day. What's more, among the six princes of Jianlu, Dorgon, Ajige, and Daishan have already obtained the A-level eavesdropping seeds, and he can grasp most of Jianlu's decisions in real time.
Thinking of this, Emperor Chongzhen no longer thought about the Liaodong incident. Before the New Year, he arrived in the capital and it was time to have a good New Year.
This time when the imperial lord left the capital, Emperor Chongzhen did not explain in advance. Otherwise, he would have to cross the sea to Liaodong with more than 10,000 troops. There would definitely be a large group of people who would have been willing to give up their wits.
However, he has returned, so there is no need to hide it. He immediately announced that the slave chief Huang Taiji was dead, and widely promoted the deeds of Geng Zhongming and Chen Shaozong's mother. He personally explained the matter of Geng Zhongming's spiritual position entering the Martyrs' Temple and held it grandly. The deeds of Chen Shaozong's mother not only allowed the Queen Zhou to receive and reward, but also ordered the Jiaofangsi to write the screenwriter of Chen Shaozong's mother and move it to the opera stage.
Suddenly, the most popular thing about the Ming Dynasty was these three things: Emperor Chongzhen angered the slave-general Huang Taiji; Geng Zhongming was in love with Daming, but he was betrayed by his son, and sacrificed his life for justice; Chen Shaozong's mother was very wise and had a good understanding of Daming and was a good example of Daming.
Just like that, the fifteenth year of Chongzhen passed, and the sixteenth year of Chongzhen came.
At the beginning of the new year, Emperor Chongzhen, in addition to issuing an order to Lu Xiangsheng and Hong Chengchou, informing them of the situation within the Jianlu and infiltrating the hinterland of Liaodong, his main thoughts were on internal affairs.
Since he returned to Beijing, what he paid the most attention was naturally agriculture, that is, food. After reading the memorials, Emperor Chongzhen discovered a problem.
Although he vigorously promoted high-yield crops such as sweet potatoes and also built water conservancy and other measures, the food problem was never alleviated. The reason for the final reason was that it was economic problems.
The agriculture of the Ming Dynasty was basically a combination of agriculture and sericulture. Especially in the Ming Dynasty, this situation was even more obvious.
There has always been a problem of mulberry fighting for rice fields in the Ming Dynasty, because planting mulberry, cotton, silkworms, and sheep seem more profitable than growing grain crops. Especially in recent years, when the imperial court has vigorously ensured that there is no shortage of food, the people are more willing to plant cash crops.
According to estimates, the ratio of labor required to plant mulberry, silkworm and rice is about 100:5. This data was estimated by Sun Quan, a native of Gui'an during the Wanli period, and it is almost the same during the Chongzhen period. This means that when the Ming Dynasty developed economic crops, the labor force not only did not liberate from the farmland, but more manpower went to the farming industry.
The consequences of doing so are that the original grain-producing provinces, such as Huguang and Huguang, have become a thing of the past; even the Taihu area has changed from being transported from grain to being transported from other provinces. In this way, the disadvantages of insufficient arable land, insufficient labor, insufficient livestock, insufficient fertility, and insufficient meat have all emerged.
Emperor Chongzhen felt a headache when he saw this conclusion. In his imagination, he wanted to release labor from agriculture, engage in industry and commerce, and engage in other industries, so as to get the Ming Dynasty to embark on the road of industrialization. However, the result now is contrary to his wishes!
If violent means are used to solve this problem, it will likely become the infamous enclosure movement. Emperor Chongzhen did not want to do so. Since that is the case, he could only rely on economic means to adjust it.
Based on this idea, Emperor Chongzhen began to review the situation of the Ming Dynasty and the thirteen provinces of the 13th provinces of the Ming Dynasty for loans to run state-owned enterprises. Not to mention, the state-owned enterprises in Jiangnan also focused on silk, cotton and silk businesses.
Emperor Chongzhen agreed with this and encouraged the expansion of production and improved production tools and other methods, so that silk, cotton and other silk could have imagined that supply was oversupply. If the value was reduced, it would naturally reduce the enthusiasm of the people of the Ming Dynasty to take the initiative to engage in this area.
Of course, this process does not happen overnight, but requires a long-term process.
In addition, after Emperor Chongzhen inspected the factory that Song Yingxing had been building, he felt that the time was ripe, so he decided to display it and then began to produce the most basic and extensive thing on a large scale across the country.
On this day, Emperor Chongzhen specially held a grand court meeting for this.
Although it was still February, the cold wind was blowing very cold. Emperor Chongzhen had already revealed the content of the court discussion. Therefore, although all the officials were frozen, they were all excited and were thinking about what the emperor said, it was very profitable? How profitable? Very useful? How useful?
Anyone is absolutely curious and interested in such a thing.
Therefore, when Emperor Chongzhen arrived and the ceremony was held, the chief assistant Xue Guoguan asked about their thoughts on behalf of all the officials.
When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he smiled slightly, but waved his hand to the rotating eunuch Wang Chengen beside him and signaled.
