In the distant Shenyang City, in the Chongzheng Hall, a fat man with a gloomy face sat silently in the shadows.
All the eunuchs and maids held their breath, not daring to make a sound, and stood cautiously.
If the master is unhappy, everyone cannot be happy.
The Great Khan did not let anyone hold the lamp, so no one dared to hold the lamp.
It gets dark earlier in Liaodong than in the capital, and it has gradually started to get dark at this time.
The Great Khan neither spoke nor handed over food, and just sat there with a face as heavy as water. Everyone is on tenterhooks.
The Great Khan had a meeting with the other three Baylors today, and when he came back, he looked hesitant.
Originally, in February this year, Huang Taiji was preparing to conquer Lin Dan Khan's Chahar tribe. As a result, the four major Baylors failed to reach a consensus and aborted.
Last year, he used food to lure Haraqin and other troops to attack Lin Dan Khan. Because Lin Danhan suddenly left without any results, the other three Baylors randomly tore up their agreements with the Duoyan Thirty-Six Family.
The original plan was for Shanxi merchants to smuggle grain out of Zhangjiakou from the Shanxi and Shaanxi areas and hand it over to the Duoyan tribe as reward, so as to attack the Chahar tribe from both sides.
But no one expected that Lin Danhan, a strong man who had lost his wrist, would give up his own territory and go west to conquer the Mongolian tribes in Monan. Let them punch the cotton.
The other three Baylors naturally refused to contribute any more money to support the Duoyan tribe. However, the Duoyan tribes rebelled against Lin Dan Khan and gained nothing. Totally fooled. At this time, all the tribes in Duoyan were filled with hatred.
Huang Taiji understood that if he wanted to obtain trade channels with Shanxi merchants, he must win over the Duoyan Sanwei and the Tumote tribe. This time, I finally got in touch with Duoyan. Money is really not that important, so why worry about it. If three hundred thousand taels of silver can conquer Duoyan, it will definitely be a good deal.
But the other three major Baylors firmly disagreed. As a result, Duoyan and Dajin became enemies.
Faced with the opposition of the three major Baylors, Huang Taiji was unable to stop it and could only let it go.
February this year was originally the best time to attack Lin Dan Khan, but it was aborted because they could not form a unified opinion.
Huang Taiji felt very unhappy. As a great Khan, his power was severely restricted by the other three Baylors. This situation was formed by history, and he had no good solution.
In 1616, Nurhachi proclaimed himself Khan and established the "Four Great Belles" to assist him in presiding over state affairs. At this time, Baylor was under Nurhachi, equivalent to a prince in later generations, and his status was much higher than that of Baylor later.
The "Four Great Belles" are the Great Belle, Daishan, the Second Belle, Amin, the Third Belle, Mang Gurtai, and the Fourth Belle, Huang Taiji.
Among them, Daishan is the second son of Nurhachi, Manggurtai is the fifth son, Huangtaiji is the eighth son, and Amin is the only one among the "Four Belles" who is not of Nurhachi's lineage, but is Nurhachi's nephew, and his younger brother Shuerha The second son of Qi.
Nurhachi's eldest son Chu Ying was jointly attacked by the disciples and the five ministers because he was too capable and had too much power. After careful consideration, Nurhachi believed that the newly established regime could not be allowed to split, so he executed Chu Ying by the power of two evils. Daishan became the great Baylor.
Above Huang Taiji, in addition to Chu Ying, there are six brothers. The reason why he is among the four Baylors is because of his personal ability.
He was the only one among all Nurhachi's sons who could read and write. He loved Sinology and was familiar with Chinese classics.
Others were fed up with the trivial nature of military logistics, but Huang Taiji demonstrated his orderliness and excellent ability to manage complex affairs at an early age.
The logistics and baggage affairs in his charge are efficient and clear. Nothing ever went wrong.
He has been proficient in bow and horse since he was a child, especially good at shooting and extremely brave.
Among all his sons, he was the only one who knew both military and political skills. Nurhaci once loved her like a heart.
Nurhachi was fickle throughout his life, and no one could pinpoint his pulse. In his later years, he doted on his third wife, the eldest concubine Abahai. Gradually alienated Huang Taiji, and established the Dorgon brothers as Khans with love and advice.
However, most of the scholars and the five ministers were secretly optimistic about Huang Taiji.
Big Baylor has a clear understanding of the situation. He was cunning and knew that he had no chance, so he stepped forward to support Huang Taiji's succession. In the end, Huang Taiji was successfully promoted to power.
This gives him great power to influence the situation. The power of the two red flags has been greatly enhanced.
During the Nurhaci era, the four Baylors assisted the Great Khan in governing. Now that Huang Taiji has become the Great Khan, he does not have the authority of the old Khan, and he is still the product of compromise by the other three Baylors. Therefore, four parallel thrones could only be set up in the Chongzheng Hall, and the four Baylors were in power at the same time.
Huang Taiji couldn't bear the four Baylor political systems. Today is another day of mischief, and many of my intentions simply cannot be accomplished. After the morning, I was sulking.
At this time, a tall figure came to the door of the hall. Seeing that there was no lamp in the hall, he seemed to understand something. He didn't speak, just stood silently at the door of the temple.
Huang Taiji was dazed for a while and found that Fan Wencheng had arrived at some unknown time. He rubbed his stiff, fat face.
"Let Bachelor Fan come in and sit down."
Huang Taiji was very polite to Fan Wencheng. In many difficult moments, Counselor Fan Wencheng provided good solutions.
Fan Wencheng walked in and asked softly: "The Han Khan is worried about the three Baylors."
"Alas, what this great Khan did was a coward!" Huang Taiji didn't even try to hide it in front of Fan Wencheng. Because this is the true confidant.
"After all, our Kingdom of Jin is not as good as the Central Plains. Our rules and regulations are crude. Our subjects are rude and have no sense of superiority and inferiority. Our monarchs and ministers are weak. Why is it so difficult for me to do something?"
Fan Wencheng said: "In fact, it's not just Dajin. Even in the dynasties of Han Dynasty, there were many things involving relatives involved in politics."
"Oh, this situation also exists in Han Dynasty. Let's talk about it." Huang Taiji immediately became interested. Huang Taiji often asked Master Fan to explain the history books of the past dynasties, and he attached great importance to finding experience from history.
"Great Khan, this, I haven't eaten yet. I'm a little hungry. I wonder if the Great Khan can give me some cakes. I hope I can talk to the Great Khan after I'm full."
Huang Taiji laughed loudly, pointed at Fan Wencheng and said, "You are still good at persuading people. When you say this, I feel hungry."
He turned around and said, "Ask the imperial dining room to send a pair of Ula hotpot. Ben Khan and Scholar Fan will have dinner together. Hahaha."
Ula hot pot is a kind of food that existed in the early Qing Dynasty. Especially when marching and fighting, the army stewed various foods in one pot for convenience, and gradually developed into a special dish.
The ingredients are "flying forward and back, fish on the left and shrimp on the right, and sprinkle with chopped green onion in a circle", that is, birds, animals, fish, shrimp and seafood.
The soup base is chicken soup, which is combined with traditional health-preserving ingredients, including ginseng, gastrodia elata, wolfberry, cordyceps, etc., and is served with shrimps and crabs.
The hotpot dishes include deer, spores, pigs, fish and other game. The upgraded Ula hot pot has become a royal delicacy.
Among them, blood sausage and shredded sauerkraut are unique ingredients in Liaodong. Mutton is generally made from Mongolian mutton. Very delicious.
The monarch and his ministers started talking while eating. Fan Wencheng eloquently explained the governance of Wenjing in the Han Dynasty. Talking about the Rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms.
"Jia Yi wrote a letter saying that the general situation in the world is that the disease is swollen. A shin is almost as big as a waist, and a finger is almost as big as a stock. That is to say, the legs are thicker than the waist, and the fingers are thicker than the arms. This kind of situation of putting the cart before the horse and the tail cannot be lost, It is the most distressing and must be eradicated immediately, otherwise it will become a disaster."
When Huang Taiji heard this, he slapped his thigh. He said with deep sympathy, "This is the situation Ben Khan is facing now."
Fan Wencheng knew that each of the four Baylors was in charge of a flag, and Daishan was even in charge of two red flags. The strength far exceeds that of the princes and kings of the Western Han Dynasty. The situation facing Huang Taiji is even more difficult. Failure to take over power will bring disaster to Xiao Qiang.
"I wonder how the emperor of the Han Dynasty solved this problem. Does Master Fan have any good ideas to teach me?" Huang Taiji asked sincerely.
"The Han Dynasty did not find a solution until the time of Emperor Wu. This method is a conspiracy. And once it is used, it is an unsolvable strategy."
Huang Taiji's breathing became rapid, and he quickly asked: "What's the strategy that's so powerful!"
"Tweet the Order"
