August 14th, Chongzheng Hall.
On this day, high-level civil and military officials from the Manchu and Qing Dynasties gathered here to decide who would be the emperor.
Daishan presided over the meeting as the patriarch, but looking at the clearly divided situation in the field, he couldn't help but have a headache and feel depressed.
Obviously this throne...
It should be his.
It's a pity that Huang Taiji set up a trick and almost lost his life, so he missed the throne.
What made him even more angry was that his two most capable sons, Yue Tuo and Saha Lian, were both loyal to Huang Taiji, but were very alienated from his father.
Even his son didn't support him, so Daishan gave up his last thoughts about the throne.
Now that Yue Tuo and Saha Lian are both dead, the lineage of Prince Li must still be maintained.
I just hope that Dorgon and Hauge can put the overall situation first and never go to the point of fighting each other.
It’s really not easy for the Manchu people to come from the rough road to where they are today.
"Everyone is here today. Everyone knows what happened. The late emperor passed away suddenly and left no edict. But the country cannot live without a king for a day. Let everyone tell you who will be the emperor."
"What's there to say? When the emperor ascended the throne as Khan, it was because of his talent that he surpassed all his brothers. Since those who are capable are respected, who can compare with Brother Fourteen now?"
Duduo was the first to grab it, with a clear attitude that he only supported Dorgon.
He and Dorgon had a close relationship since childhood and depended on each other for life and death. And according to Nurhachi's original intention, the Khan position should have belonged to Dorgon.
Now Dorgon is just getting back what belongs to him, and that's natural.
From a selfish perspective, he also hopes that Dorgon will ascend the throne.
Dorgon's children are very mediocre in ability and may not be able to convince the public if they succeed to the throne in the future.
Doesn't that mean...
Maybe he also has a chance?
But his words angered someone.
"We ministers eat the food of the late emperor and wear the clothes of the late emperor. The kindness of the late emperor in raising us is as high as the sky and the depth of the sea. If we do not establish the son of the late emperor, we would rather die and live in the earth."
Led by Ao Bai, the civil and military personnel of the two yellow flags came out in large numbers, with such momentum that it could change the color of the situation.
As relatives of the emperor, Lianghuangqi was already powerful, and they all occupied important positions in the court.
It can be said that the opinions of the two yellow flags have the most important influence on the ownership of the throne.
Seeing this scene, Dorgon and Hauge both changed their expressions.
Dorgon only felt invisible pressure like a mountain, making him unable to find a solution.
With his strength, there is no way to subdue the two yellow flags.
The throne of the emperor seemed to be getting further and further away from him.
Thinking of this, he looked at Hauge with great reluctance.
But how did he know that Hauge was in an even worse mood.
Before attending the meeting today, Hauge was still thinking about what might happen and felt that he had great hope.
But Liang Huangqi's statement just now was like pouring a basin of ice water on him, forcing him to accept the reality.
Because Obai and others made it very clear that what they wanted was to establish the son of the late emperor, but they did not say that Hauge was the only option.
This is enough to show that the two yellow flags' support for him, Hauge, is all false.
If the proposed emperor candidate is another son of Huang Taiji, Lianghuang Banner will also accept it.
But in that case, Hauge's so-called allies will be dispersed in an instant.
His own Zhenglan Banner alone, let alone competing for the throne, was not enough for Dorgon.
At this point, Hauge finally woke up completely.
Fan Ji's painstaking efforts were also felt by him.
Thinking of this, he waved to Fan Ji and asked in a low voice.
"How to do?"
Seeing that Hauge no longer persisted, Fan Ji couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief and quickly gave instructions.
"It's better to be proactive than passive. Only by taking the initiative at this time can you get more."
Hauge nodded and stood up immediately without saying a word.
His move quickly became the focus of the field.
After all, he is a strong contender for the throne, is he going to die in person?
When thinking of this, many mature and prudent people couldn't help but be disappointed in him.
Although Dorgon was eager, he still knew how to let Duduo take the lead. It would be too ugly for you to end up in person.
Hauge walked to the center of the field, making his voice heard by everyone.
"Most of you here are uncles of my Hauge. When I followed my father, I fought in the north and south, fighting in seas of blood, and that was how I became the Qing Dynasty today. Hauge, at such a young age, invites the blessings of heaven. , I have some merits, but I really don’t dare to compare with you. Now my father, Dragon, controls Bintian, and Hauge is loved by everyone, and I hope to fulfill my father’s last wish. This is also Hauge’s wish!”
There was an uproar in the place, and many people even sneered at Hauge.
Obviously, in the eyes of many people, Hauge ended up personally.
Hauge didn't care. Although he was holding fire in his heart, in order to gain enough benefits, he could only continue to perform.
"Many days of disputes and disputes have made people panic, and there are many delays in national affairs. Hauge couldn't help but wonder, which one is more important, his personal interests or the Qing Dynasty? I believe that my father has a spirit in heaven. Seeing what is happening today If the situation is chaotic, I’m afraid it will also cause heartache and uneasiness.”
This sudden change of conversation made many people feel ashamed.
yes.
They only focused on the struggle for power, but even delayed state affairs.
Seeing that he had suppressed the situation, Hauge felt vaguely that he seemed to have hope of success.
His voice became clearer.
"Hauge's talents are not as good as those of his father. However, he has made up his mind since he was a child, taking his father as a role model and the Qing Dynasty as the most important thing. If Hauge's selfishness causes the Qing Dynasty to be damaged, , Hauge has a troubled conscience."
Everyone was shocked.
What's the meaning?
Hauge wants to withdraw from the competition for the throne?
When did he become such a humble person?
Couldn't he just think that even if he surrendered to Dorgon, Dorgon would spare him?
Countless eyes focused on him, and for the first time in his life, Haug experienced the feeling of controlling his destiny.
This feeling is so wonderful, so intoxicating.
He vowed that he would never let this feeling escape from his hands.
Since you can't control this ability by ascending the throne, then the next best thing is to do it.
He suddenly turned around, a three-point roar added to his figure.
"If you want to establish, establish Fulin!"
When a stone falls to the ground, huge waves roll.
Hauge's decision caught everyone off guard.
Dorgon's beating heart suddenly stopped, and his face instantly turned pale. When he looked at Hauge again, he seemed to no longer recognize this nephew.
He suddenly thought of something and looked towards the high platform again.
Among the concubines, Bumubutai looked at her nose and heart, holding a child in her arms as if it had nothing to do with her.
But why doesn't he understand?
He... was sold!
Haug's sudden change of stance caused some reaction from many people.
Everyone is thinking desperately, why did Haug do this?
What's the benefit to him?
Could it be that he found that he couldn't fight Dorgon, so he broke the pot and threw it?
