Liu Xin was stunned when she heard this: "Huang Taiji is everywhere, which Huang Taiji are you talking about?"
"It's not Huang Taiji, it's Huang Taiji... Do Xiaozhuang's husband and Fulin's father know?"
Liu Xin suddenly realized: "Oh, I know! Huang Taiji is the unlucky one who was cuckolded by Dorgon and died quickly."
"...That one can be considered a wild history at best." Gao Pingshi laughed dryly and said, "Huang Taiji is very powerful."
"Unofficial history? You mean he wasn't cuckolded?" Liu Xin looked obviously disbelieving.
"This... he might have worn it after he died, but he probably didn't wear it before he died."
"you sure?"
"I don't care about being certain. In short, there is no record of this in official history, and mainstream scholars in later generations do not recognize it. Even these mainstream scholars don't even think that Dorgon entered the inner courtyard of the palace after Huang Taiji died. There is some adultery between him and Xiaozhuang, and he thinks that Dorgon did this just to show off his status. Maybe he slept with a palace maid or something, but it probably wouldn't be Xiaozhuang. The purpose of Dorgon's approach is roughly equivalent to the art of war. 'Show strength' in."
Liu Xin shook her head and said, "But I remember that when I later accused Dorgon of his crimes, I once said that Fulin called him 'Emperor Father and Regent'. Isn't this evidence?"
"It is said that the father's name of 'Emperor Father and Regent' is analogous to 'Shangfu' and 'Zhongfu', and it cannot be ruled out that it is a means for Xiaozhuang to teach the young emperor to stabilize Dorgon - you must know that Xiaozhuang is recorded in the history Zhuang’s only hobby is reading history, and it’s normal for her to learn this skill from history books.”
"It's still wrong, it's still wrong." Liu Xin thought about it carefully, and suddenly her eyes lit up and said, "Ah, I remembered that before Xiaozhuang died, he told Kangxi not to bury her with Huang Taiji. You said this is not the case. Is there something obviously wrong?”
Gao pragmatic rolled his eyes: "What's the problem?"
Liu Xin was stunned: "Shouldn't husband and wife be born in the same quilt and die in the same cave? She is unwilling to be buried with Huang Taiji. Isn't this a big problem?"
"First of all, Xiaozhuang said this to Kang Mazi before he died: 'Taizong's mausoleum has been enshrined for a long time, so I can't touch it lightly. Besides, I can't bear to leave you and my son in my heart, so I chose a place to bury me near your father's Xiaoling Mausoleum. .'——There are two reasons she mentioned here: first, Huang Taiji had been dead for decades at that time, and Xiaozhuang felt that he should not be alarmed; second, she was reluctant to part with her son and grandson."
"Why do you still have grandchildren? Wasn't Kangxi still alive and well at that time? This is what she said to Kangxi!"
"He is alive, but don't you know that the imperial mausoleum has to be prepared a long time ago. By then, Kang Mazi's grave had already been found, just waiting for him to die. Moreover, Xiaozhuang said he was buried next to her son. "
"I remember that her relationship with Fulin was very bad because of Concubine Dong E's affair, right?"
"Probably because of this reason, she feels some kind of guilt towards Fulin? Besides, it is possible for a son to hate his mother all his life, but who as a mother can hate his son all his life? She wanted to be closer to her son after she died. Isn’t this a normal thought for an old woman?”
"Well... what you said is not entirely unreasonable, but I still find it a bit weird."
Gao pragmatic sighed and said: "The above are only part of it. In addition, you have to know that when Huang Taiji was alive, Xiaozhuang's status in the harem was not high, only ranked fifth.
Speaking of which, she was not qualified to be buried with Huang Taiji. However, when her son became emperor, her status was suddenly elevated. After Kang Mazi succeeded to the throne, her status as the imperial grandmother became even higher. Climb. But no matter what, at least when Huang Taiji was still there, she was almost dispensable in the harem. "
Liu Xin said in surprise: "She is such a powerful person, but she is not favored in front of Huang Taiji? Then who is in front of her?"
Gao Pingshi said: "The harem of Huang Taiji during his lifetime was like this: the middle palace was Queen Qingning Palace, who was called King Fujin, and Horqin Borjigit, named Zhezhe, ranked first.
Secondly, the East Palace is occupied by Concubine Chen of Guanju Palace, who is called Dong Dafu Jin, and Horqin Borjijit, whose name is Hailanzhu, ranks second.
Then the West Palace was the imperial concubine of Linzhi Palace, called Xi Dafu Jin, and Abahai Borjijit, named Na Mu Zhong, ranked third.
Then there is the concubine Shu from the Yanqing Palace in the East Palace, who is called Dongfang Fujin. Abahai Borjijit's name is Batma Hong, ranking fourth.
Then there was the concubine Zhuang of Yongfu Palace in the West Palace, who was called Xifujin. The Horqin Borjigit clan was named Bumubutai, ranking fifth. "
"She actually has four others above her? It seems that she is not very favored." Liu Xin thought for a while, nodded and said: "Since she is not favored, her relationship with Huang Taiji must not be that deep. Over the past few decades, she has naturally become less concerned about Huang Taiji, so it makes sense that she would not be buried with him."
Gao pragmatic nodded and added: "Another point is that Queen Xiaoduan was already buried in Huang Taiji's Zhaoling Mausoleum at that time. If Xiaozhuang was buried again, where would it be appropriate to put it?
If you replace Empress Xiaoduan and move Xiaoduan away, this move would be a bit excessive. Firstly, Queen Xiaoduan is Xiaozhuang's aunt, and secondly, it would be quite ominous to disturb the deceased, but you have to find another place. I guess Xiaozhuang is not happy either.
Furthermore, in fact, according to Han tradition, the queen can be buried with the emperor, but she can also be buried without the emperor. Both situations are not uncommon. At that time, the Qing Dynasty had already stabilized its power, and often had to consider the traditions of the Han people. "
Liu Xin waved her hands in disappointment: "It turns out that so many legends are false. It's really disappointing."
"What's the matter, are you still expecting there to be some earth-shattering love story between Dorgon and Xiaozhuang?" Gao Pingshi rolled his eyes: "If there was a real love story, how could the end of Dorgon's death be so miserable?"
Liu Xin shook her head and sighed: "I don't expect them to have any love stories. I just gossiped and enjoyed the melon. Now that the melon is gone, I feel a little regretful."
Gao Pingshi snorted twice in his nostrils, but did not answer. Liu Xinze quickly cheered up again and asked: "You just said that the princess Ye He is going to give you is Huang Taiji's mother? Then can I understand it this way: If you accept Ye He's job A generous gift, in the future Huang Taiji will be gone, and the stories we just told will also be gone?"
Gao pragmatically said: "According to Mr. Engels, history has inertia. If this Huang Tai Chi does not appear, there should be another Huang Tai Chi. However, I personally do not agree with this interpretation of Mr. Eng's words. I think he wants to express It should mean that the general trend of history cannot be changed - of course, I can't agree with it now, because the general trend has been changed by me."
He paused and thought deeply: "As for if I really accept Meng Gu Zhezhe, I think the Huang Taiji in history will indeed not appear, but it's not like Nurhaci can't find a woman. Who knows what kind of old man he will be then?" Will Ba Hui still be 'Huang Taiji'? You must know that Nurhachi had sixteen sons in history."
"You just said that Huang Taiji is very powerful?"
"Yes, very powerful." Gao pragmatically said with certainty.
Liu Xin didn't believe it and asked: "How powerful is it?"
Gao Pangshi pondered for a moment and replied: "Let's put it this way, Huang Taiji's ability far exceeds that of Nurhachi, especially in terms of strategic overall view. Although Huang Taiji did not survive until the day when the Qing army entered the pass, he was the Tatar Qing outside the pass. The founder who established a foothold, put the regime on the right track, and made all preparations for the Qing army to enter the customs."
Liu Xin said in surprise: "Is it so mysterious? Why didn't I know? Did you raise the height on purpose? What did he do?"
"That's because you are focusing on the scandals between men and women." Gao Pingshi rolled his eyes at her: "Huang Taiji's contribution to the Later Jin Dynasty-Tatar Qing regime is probably as follows: First, for Nurhachi in Liaodong The tyranny of the serfdom system in the region implemented certain reforms, which alleviated the fierce conflicts between the Manchus and the Han.
Secondly, the two Eastern Expeditions forced North Korea to sever diplomatic relations with the Ming Dynasty and become a vassal of the Later Jin Dynasty; they forced North Korea to import rice, cloth and other annual tribute to the Later Jin Dynasty every year, which enabled Hou Jin's fragile economy to receive external blood transfusions, thus stabilizing the basic market.
Because the fortress system of Sun Chengzong and Yuan Chonghuan in western Liaoning was basically completed at that time, during the Huang Taiji period, the war against the Ming Dynasty Liaoxi fortress could only take the form of long-term encirclement and reinforcements.
At this time, without the supplies squeezed out from North Korea, Houjin's own logistical supplies alone would not be able to sustain it. Especially during the Battle of Songjin, at the request of Hou Jin, North Korea provided a large amount of rice and other military food assistance to the Hou Jin army. With the food provided by North Korea, the Hou Jin army on the front line could withstand it, otherwise they themselves It's about to collapse.
Third, he completed control of Monan Mongolia. He launched many Western expeditions, wooing those who followed and suppressing those who rebelled. He destroyed Chahar, subdued Tumote, and all tribes in Monan surrendered to Huang Taiji. When Huang Taiji proclaimed himself emperor, he established the Mongolian Yamen, which later developed into the Lifan Yuan of the Qing Dynasty.
The "Manchu-Mongolian Alliance", a basic national policy that almost lasted throughout the Qing Dynasty, was also formed during the Huang Taiji era. The territory of the Later Jin Dynasty also expanded from Liaodong in the Nurhachi era to the Hetao area in the Huangtaiji period... Do you know what this means? "
Liu Xin curled her lips: "It means opening up territory and expanding territory, and it also means there is more room for strategic maneuver."
Gao pragmatic nodded: "You are right, but it is too rough. This means that economically, the Qing army can go to Xuanfu, Zhangjiakou and Datong to do trade with the local Ming army and Shanxi merchants. Militaryly , the Qing army could pose military threats to the northeast and northwest of the Ming capital from two aspects: Liaoxi-Jizhou and Hetao-Xuanda, and its strategic initiative was more obvious.
In the winter of 1629, when Huang Taiji entered the "Hai Si Change" for the first time, the Qing army entered the fortress in Zunhua, northeast of the capital. But in the middle and late period of Chongzhen, the Qing army invaded the Ming Dynasty several times, and had already entered the fortress from Yanqing, the capital, and Datong, Shanxi. Do you think the advantages of such a strategic situation are great? "
Liu Xin's understanding of military affairs was much better than her understanding of history. Hearing this, he nodded and said, "It means that this guy is very good at fighting, and he knows where to fight to achieve the best results."
"Not only that, I have two more." Gao Pragmatic stretched out four fingers, his face became more serious, and continued: "Fourth, he completed the reform of the Qing army's military system and military equipment. It was he who , by establishing eight banners of Manchu, Mongolian and Han, wooing the Han generals Geng, Shang and Kong, the "Three Shun Kings", and absorbing the cavalry from Monan Mongolia to strengthen its military group. The Qing army during the Huang Taiji period had developed into a A field army group equipped with infantry, cavalry, and artillery, and skilled in coordinated combat capabilities. As for combat effectiveness, that goes without saying."
Liu Xin nodded and said: "When I was young, I always heard that the Qing army relied on bows and horses to conquer the world. Later I found out that was not the case. I agree with this."
Gao pragmatic nodded and continued: "The fifth and final one is that he learned from the Ming Dynasty's bureaucracy and reformed it, strengthening the Tatar Qing regime. Especially after Huang Taiji became emperor, he set up six ministries after the Ming Dynasty, and opened up subjects. Scholars, I think you can understand the effect of this article: The reason why Annan Mo Chao is more popular with Annan scholars than Li Zheng is because Mo Chao opens subjects more stably and frequently to recruit scholars.
During the Nurhaci era, Houjin still retained a large number of legacy of tribal blood relations. Under the transformation of Huang Taiji, it was gradually built into the prototype of a feudal centralized power state. Therefore, based on these, you can imagine how great the role Huang Taiji played in the Hou Jin regime. "
"I understand." Liu Xin said calmly: "But since he is so powerful, now that the opportunity is in front of you, if you take his wife home, everything will be fine. Why are you still hesitating? After all, according to you To put it bluntly, without Huang Taiji’s backing, it would probably not be possible.”
Gao Pragmatic sighed and said with a wry smile: "It's easy to take Meng Zhezhe away from Nurhachi, but it's not very convenient for me to get her in myself."
"What's the inconvenience? Are you afraid that Madam will be jealous?" Liu Xin shook her head and said: "I don't think she will mind. Because she is a child chieftain, she is more worried about being gossiped about than ordinary women. She has always hoped that you would hurry up. Taking concubines, and even having more children, lest outsiders say she is jealous.
Besides, Meng Guzhezhe is still a Jurchen. As you just said, Princess and the like are not of high status in the current Ming Dynasty. If you move Meng Guzhezhe into the house, it will not have any impact on the status of the noble lady, and she will not mind. "
"I'm not worried that Zhiting won't understand, I'm worried that the emperor has ideas." Gao Pragmatic scratched his head: "This matter is mainly related to my next strategy. According to my original plan, because Nurhachi's personal ability is obviously the current He is the leader among the Jurchens, so I plan to vigorously win over and support Ye He and Hada to compete with him.
Originally, it didn't matter what my choice was, but if I suddenly took Ye He's princess as my concubine, do you think the emperor would suspect that I did this because I fell into Ye He's beauty trap? When the time comes, will he sincerely agree with my views and plans as usual? "
