"Amitabha, why are you crying? What is there to cry about?"
Seeing that Mingzhu, Bahai, Mu Zhan and Chang Ning were all crying, and could no longer squeeze out tears, the great monk Shunzhi smiled and comforted everyone and said: "I think back then, the poor monk was elected by the banner owners and ministers. When he was the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty only had Liaodong, Eastern Mongolia, Monan Mongolia and the vassal state of Korea, while the Ming Dynasty still owned most of the world.
At that time, the poor monk did not cry, Dorgon did not cry, and the banner owners, big and small, did not cry. Not only did they not cry, but everyone was also high-spirited and high-spirited.
For the poor monks, the regent Dorgon, and the civil and military officials of the Manchu dynasty, not to mention unifying the country, even having one of three parts of the world was like a dream!
Even after the Qing Dynasty defeated Li Zicheng at Shanhaiguan and settled in Beijing, the poor monks, Dorgon, the big and small banner leaders, and the Manchu civil and military officials never thought that they could really dominate the world. After all, we in Manchuria only have a small number of people and we really cannot afford to lose. ah! As long as one is not careful, it will lead to subjugation and annihilation of the species.
At that time, all we thought about was that if we were lucky, we would create the Southern Ming and Northern Qing Dynasties and divide the world into two parts. If you are unlucky, just follow the example of Daliao and occupy the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun. It is also good. If it doesn't work, you can even grab a handful and leave. This is not a loss, right?
Now, no matter how the Qing Dynasty is defeated, half of the country is still stable. What is there to cry about? "
"Later, when the poor monk got married and became the leader of the Qing Dynasty, he was actually ready to pack up and run back to the outside world at any time. When Zheng Yanping attacked Nanjing, the poor monk was ready to run away. Fortunately, After winning the battle, he stopped running away.
It is precisely because there are too few Manchus that the regent Dorgon used the method of breaking the earth to seal the king to win over Wu Sangui, Kong Youde, Shang Kexi, Geng Zhongming and others, and let them help us suppress the Han people in the south. This is actually not true What a temporary measure, but a long-term national policy, an ancestral system!
As far as the Qing Dynasty is concerned, what if we grant Yunnan, Guangxi, Guangxi, and Fujian to them so that their descendants can enjoy the glory? We Manchus can eat most of the rest of the world, and we have made a profit!
But some people want to destroy the ancestors of the Qing Dynasty and live alone. They don't even look at how many people there are in Manchuria. They think they can conquer the world with tens of thousands of people! It’s really so powerful that it makes you stupid!
Moreover, he did not know how to cherish these few Manchus. He wanted to kill the heroes and cut off the dissenters. It was obvious that Ao Bai was dead, but in order to completely eradicate his henchmen, he also falsely claimed that Ao Bai was still alive in order to make a big connection. As a result, people were panicked and the rebels who fought against the Qing Dynasty and restored the Ming Dynasty found an opportunity to falsely claim that Ao Bai was still alive. Ao Bai's rebellion was simply foolish and cruel! "
The Shunzhi monk's words were comforting at first, but later his tone became very harsh, and his words pointed directly at Emperor Kangxi's ignorance, ignorance, and cruelty. It also took Kangxi's actions of withdrawing from San Francisco and forcing Wu Sangui to rebel, directly to the level of destroying the ancestral system of the Qing Dynasty!
Although Kangxi's policy of withdrawing from the three vassals was indeed against the ancestral system - the ancestral system of the Qing Dynasty before Kangxi was to make a little profit, and if it didn't work, just run away. It was not about unifying the Qing Dynasty for thousands of years. So it would be good to allocate some territory to the traitors who worked for the Qing Dynasty and build a few vassal towns. At that time, I never thought about cutting down the vassals in the future.
Of course, if Kangxi's strategy of reducing vassals was successful and all the three vassals and four vassals were flattened, that would be fine. In the future, a new ancestral system would be established, stipulating that the children of the Eight Banners could eat alone.
But the problem is that Kangxi couldn't defeat others, and he was defeated by a bunch of rebellious officials and traitors. So what else is there to say? You are a foolish king who violates the ancestral system! The originally great world has been ruined by your foolish king. Even Emperor Ama, who has been "dead" for so many years, is now angry!
Can the Qing Dynasty still survive if such a foolish emperor does not step down?
But the question is, in the current situation of the Qing Dynasty, can it still abolish and establish it? Will a fraternal civil war break out?
The few people below include the five "new arrivals" Mingzhu, Bahai, Mingzhu, Mu Zhan, and Chang Ning, as well as Fuquan, Suo'etu, Yeshubu, Changshu, and Taosai (who had already known about Shunzhi's return). These three are Shunzhi's brothers) and others all looked at Monk Shunzhi in inexplicable surprise, not knowing what to say for a moment.
After a while, Chang Ning, the youngest Prince Gong, spoke up: "Amma, do you want to issue a will to dethrone the third brother from the throne?"
It seems inappropriate to issue a posthumous edict to depose Kangxi!
After all, this Kangxi was established based on the imperial edict of Emperor Shunzhi. What about this edict that abolished Kangxi? Is it possible that Shunzhi issued two edicts at the same time, one to make Kangxi the emperor and the other not to make Kangxi the emperor? Isn't this nonsense? It’s strange that some people believe this kind of edict!
The great monk Shunzhi also shook his head.
Fuquan said: "Emperor Ama, how about we tell the world that you did not die back then, but you took refuge as a monk. Now that you see that the country is in great trouble, you want to be restored to the throne as emperor and lead the Qing Dynasty as a loyal minister and filial son." Let’s destroy the thieves and protect the country together.”
The great monk and the late emperor still shook his head.
This doesn’t work either!
If Shunzhi admitted that he did not collapse, but evaded his position and became a monk, then he would be the Supreme Emperor, and Kangxi would be the Emperor. Although this Supreme Emperor is the Emperor's father, the biggest one is still the Emperor! So if the Supreme Emperor wants to be restored to power, that would be a rebellion!
If Kangxi refused to give in and insisted on suppressing the unfaithful and unfilial rebel Amma, causing a human tragedy of father and son killing each other, could the Qing Dynasty still want it? It must be finished!
Therefore, Shunzhi had to write a posthumous edict that could remove Kangxi from the throne, at least oust Kangxi first, and prevent the Qing Dynasty from falling into civil war.
To be honest, this is really embarrassing for him, the late emperor who is still alive.
However, since Shunzhi summoned so many ministers who knew him and two princes with heavy troops at once, he naturally had a way to deal with Kangxi's rebellious son.
After rejecting the two suggestions of issuing a posthumous edict to depose Kangxi and resurrecting him to the throne (the throne), Shunzhi no longer hid it, but showed his real trump card. He looked at the crowd and solemnly said: "For The only solution now is for the poor monk to issue an edict to restore the decision-making power of the Council of Kings and Ministers to discuss government affairs!"
This is about to establish a constitution, and there is no need to prepare!
The new Ming Dynasty is holding a conference to restore the Ming Dynasty during this period. The Qing Dynasty is going to restore or even greatly strengthen the authority of the meeting of kings and ministers to discuss government affairs. This progress is so rapid that it will really make Kang and Liang burst into tears.
But this kind of “progress” is natural!
The Qing Dynasty had a tradition of co-governance by military nobles. This tradition still existed in the early years of Kangxi. After all, Oboi, who was in power before, was a "majority leader of the political meeting"!
Now that Kangxi's "Sacred Heart Tribunal" has been messed up, the banner leaders and ministers below will naturally think that it is better to hold a meeting of kings and ministers to discuss state affairs. In addition, the "resurrected" Shunzhi also wanted to evade Kangxi, so it was natural that Shunzhi was the "legendary edict".
On the other side of the Ming Dynasty, it happened to be a period of reflection on the pain of the fall of the world - the "pain" that the subsequent defeat of the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1894 brought to the Han people and officials was nothing compared to the fall of the world in the late Ming Dynasty. Moreover, the scholar-bureaucrats of the Kangliang generation and up were Han scholars who had been punished by the Literary Prison for more than two hundred years. Their thinking was still stuck at the level of a wise king and a hero in the Qing Dynasty to lead everyone to progress together. They were different from those who had been thinking wildly for more than two hundred years. The ideas that the scholar-officials of the Ming Dynasty came up with after experiencing the pain of subjugating the world were completely different from the same level.
The progressive ideas worked out by these "great Confucians of the late Ming Dynasty" coincided with the wishes of Li Zhongshan, a progressive warlord who hoped to "capture imperial power."
Fuquan was still a little disappointed in his heart, but he still didn't show it on his face. He still looked like a good son and a good brother, and asked in a low voice: "Huang Ama, this meeting of kings and ministers has not been serious for several years. It has been opened, but now it is suddenly about to open. I am afraid it will be difficult to find everyone. What should we do? In addition, what kind of policy should be decided by this meeting of kings and ministers? How should you write your edict? "
Monk Shunda had already thought about it. Now when he heard his son ask this question, he followed the question and said: "Who are the political kings and political ministers? It has been stipulated by the ancestral system for a long time. One of them is the eighth prince." , all princes with assistant collars are of course the political king or political minister. The second is that each banner elects three political ministers. The third is the Gushan Ezhen of each banner. According to the old rules, the political king and the political minister These are the ministers.
But this time, that time. Now our Qing Dynasty is no longer what it used to be. We can no longer rely solely on the Eight Banners, or even rely solely on the Eight Banners and Manchuria. We must learn from the Khitan and Liao Dynasties in history, and learn to truly unite the Han people and the power of the grasslands to compete with the Southern Dynasties. Therefore, this meeting of political kings and ministers must also leave corresponding seats for the Eight Banners Han Army, Eight Banners Mongolia, Outer Mongolia, Inner Mongolia and various Han regiments, as well as Zhili, Shanxi, Shaanxi, Henan and other Han provinces. "
"Your Majesty," Mingzhu was very knowledgeable and immediately discovered the problem in Shunzhi's words, "Do you mean that we will implement the north-south official system like the Liao Kingdom in the future?"
Shunzhi nodded, "Mingzhu, this north-south official system has to be established. If we don't implement north-south control, then Zhili, Shanxi, Shandong, and Henan will be our heartland. Not to mention the loss of heartland, even if it is If our heart is attacked by the Southern Dynasty, we will all face the danger of life and death!
For example, this time Wu Yingxiong and Wu Yingqi went straight to Guanzhong to surround Xi'an, which put us in a passive situation. When Song and Liao were fighting, even if the Song army came to Yanjing, the Liao army could do so calmly and with ease. The reason is that the Liao Kingdom implemented a north-south official system, and Yanjing was not the heart of the Liao Kingdom at all.
In addition, if we do not establish the official system between the north and the south, we will not be able to truly control the territories of Liaodong outside the Pass, Mongolia in the east, Monan Mongolia, and Mobei Mongolia. If we use them, if the Central Plains is lost, we will be all over! "
Emperor Shunzhi's intention was very clear. He should prepare to resist the Northern Expedition of Ming Dynasty or Wu Sangui in Henan, Shandong, and even Zhili and Shanxi, and at the same time, he should be prepared to run away.
Whether we are fighting in Henan, Shandong, Zhili, or Shanxi, or preparing to run away, we must firmly grasp and utilize Liaodong, Monan, Mobei, and Mongolia in the east. Everything must stop once Beijing is surrounded!
Shunzhi continued: "So the new council of kings and ministers must leave space for all parties and allow everyone to participate. Then, the council of kings and ministers must be finalized to discuss national affairs and the official system of the north and south.
In addition, this meeting of kings and ministers will also rehabilitate Ao Bai and his confidants, review Xuan Ye's fault of violating the ancestral system and cutting down the feudal vassal, and make Xuan Ye issue an imperial edict to apologize to the world.
If Xuan Ye realizes his mistake and is willing to give up power to the Council of Council of Ministers, then let him go to Shengjing to be the ruler of the throne from now on, and Fuquan you will also be the regent and manage the Council of Council of Councilors. Just like back then. The regent Dorgon! "
This is letting Fuquan become Kangxi's father!
Kangxi inherited Shunzhi's throne, and Fuquan inherited Shunzhi's father's throne. In comparison, Fuquan seems to be better!
Fuquan, who was very satisfied with Shunzhi's arrangement, then asked his Ama: "Huang Ama, when will we hold this meeting of kings and ministers to discuss government affairs?"
Shunzhi smiled and said, "You must inform Xuan Ye about this. Ask for the Etu!"
"The slave is here!"
"Please go to Xi'an yourself!" Shunzhi said, "Go and tell Xuan Ye that he is not a good emperor, but the poor monk is thinking of the relationship between father and son, so he will not abolish him and let him learn from the Southern Dynasties. The third prince of Zhu will be an emperor who enjoys his time. Let him issue an edict to punish himself, and then declare to follow the edict of the poor monk, hold a meeting of kings and ministers to discuss government affairs, and invite the eight banners, provinces, internal and external Mongolian parties to come together Let’s discuss the country together, right?”
"This slave accepts the order!"
Xi'an, the Qing Emperor is here.
Just when Suo'etu received the decree from the great monk Shunzhi and rushed to Xi'an, Kangxi actually knew that something was wrong!
He also has eyes and ears in Beijing!
Of course he knew that the rebellious and unfilial Amma was plotting a conspiracy to depose his throne, even if it would not be done immediately, he would first be vacated and then deposed.
And once he is deposed, his life will not be guaranteed!
Of course he knew the fate of Liu Bian, the young emperor of the Han Dynasty, and Cao Mao, the noble countrygong in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms".
He originally thought that Grand Master Ao Bai and Master Sima were people like Dong Zhuo and Master Sima, but he never expected that Ao Bai was actually a good person. The real Master Dong Zhuo and Master Sima turned out to be his Amma!
After learning the secret report, Kangxi was already restless!
He knew that he had little leverage against Shunzhi and King Yu Fuquan. The recent news from Lianghuai and Jiangnan was very bad. Mu Zhan and Gestei were defeated miserably in Fuliji and Suishui, and the main force of the Qing army in Lianghuai was At the same time, Xuzhou, a battleground for military strategists, was also lost, and the collapse of Huaidong, Jiangnan, Jiangxi, Zhejiang and other places was just a matter of time.
And he, the emperor, must take the blame for all these failures!
After all, this chaos in the world was caused by this foolish king. If he hadn't mistaken Ao Bai for Dong Zhuo, the world would be fine now, Wu Sangui would not have rebelled, Prince Zhu San would still be hiding in Tibet, Lu Bu and his son would still pretend to be loyal, and he would still be comfortably serving as the Emperor of Peace in Beijing. .The rebellious and unfilial Amma is still a monk on Mount Wutai.
This foolish king of his has really broken the heavens!
If he doesn’t take the blame, who will?
But how could he be willing to take the blame and step down?
He has been working hard these days to train troops and save himself. The Eight Banners soldiers and Green Camp soldiers in Xi'an have been reorganized by him and Laita according to Wu Ni's military system, forming the new Xi'an Banner Army.
First of all, the Xi'an Banner Army greatly increased the number of red cannons (light red cannons), and each battalion (big battalion) was equipped with an artillery team equipped with twelve small cannons!
In order to cast these cannons, he not only transferred gunsmiths from Beijing, but also hired a group of skilled craftsmen from Shanxi, and even had all the copper coins in Xi'an City plundered!
Secondly, he also integrated cavalry, infantry, artillery and other arms into a "big camp", and also allowed people from different arms to train together every day.
Thirdly, he even broke down the distinction between Manchu, Mongolian and Han. He came to serve as a soldier, regardless of where he came from, and anyone with meritorious deeds could carry the flag!
Thanks to his efforts, the Xi'an Banner Army now has eight "big camps" that are quite capable of fighting.
These eight camps are respectively called "Xi'an Pioneer Camp", "Xi'an Xiaoqi Camp", "Xi'an Guard Camp", "Xi'an Pro-Army Camp", "Xi'an Reebok Camp", "Xi'an Infantry Camp", "Xi'an Firearms Camp", "Xi'an Firearms Camp", "Xi'an Shenji Camp". But no matter what camp it is, the establishment is the same, the treatment is the same, how much land is allocated, how many rooms are allocated, and how much the salary is, everything is the same.
After some adaptations and several months of careful training, the Xi'an Banner Army was not only reborn, but also much more capable than before. It could definitely compete with Wu Sangui's elite troops!
Moreover, he has been working hard to learn bad things these days. He also found a few Han scholars who were well-read and knew the way to bring disaster and appointed them as Hanlin bachelors. He asked Xiong Ci to follow them and learn bad things from them whenever he could. .
In addition, he felt that the badness of the Han people was not enough, so he sent people to summon Nan Huairen (Nan Huairen, as the name sounds bad) and the original Portuguese governor of Macau, Shi Bozhi, to Xi'an to teach him Western knowledge. So bad!
He wants to strive for "bad knowledge of both China and the West"!
But the question is, how come that unfaithful and unfilial Amma in Beijing doesn’t know about the progress of his military skills and the regression of his moral standards?
Why do you want to replace Fuquan, a bad guy, with all your heart?
Wasn't it him who introduced the evil Wang Datou?
Thinking of this, Kangxi, who was walking in the Imperial City of Xi'an, couldn't help but sigh.
As soon as he finished sighing, a Fujian accent came to his ears: "Your Majesty, are you worried about King Yu's discord?"
Kangxi looked back and saw that the person speaking was Li Guangdi, the imperial minister, who "looked very much like Qin Hui". Prince Zhu didn't need Qin Hui, so he came all the way to Xi'an. Kangxi felt that this boy was not a good person, so he was sent to the Hanlin Academy to teach him to be a bad person.
I don't know what clever tricks this "Qin Hui" can have for the current situation?
Thinking of this, Kangxi asked Li Guangdi: "Li Guangdi, do you have any good ideas?"
"I do have a way to deal with King Yu, but this method is a little bit..."
"Say, just say it, I forgive you!"
"Your Majesty, if you want to deal with King Yu, you must join forces with Wu Yingxiong!"
"What? Joining forces with that traitor Wu Yingxiong?"
"Your Majesty, why is Wu Yingxiong a traitor? You need this Wu Yingxiong now, he is your biological uncle!"
