After finishing all this, before leaving Jinzhou and returning to the capital, Emperor Chongzhen privately told Lu Xiangsheng, who was in charge of Liaodong: "The slave chief Huang Taiji has been angered to death by me, and now several people within Jianlu are coveting the position left by Huang Taiji. . On your side, please don’t overpress the Jianlu, lest they compromise with each other due to external pressure. You should rest and recuperate, and train your troops well first!"
Lu Xiangsheng was shocked when he heard this. I didn’t expect that such a powerful slave chief would be so angry to death by the emperor?
Although he found it a bit incredible, he did not think that the emperor would lie and attribute Huang Taiji's death to himself. Therefore, while he admired the emperor very much, he was also relieved.
Lu Xiangsheng has been in Dongjiang Town for several years, and is naturally very familiar with Huang Taiji's affairs. Therefore, although they were rivals, he had to admire Huang Taiji as a man of real ability. Although Lu Xiangsheng believed that he was stronger than Huang Taiji when it came to leading troops in battle, in other aspects, he really had to admit defeat!
Such a man of great influence was so angry to death by the emperor! It’s great that Ming Dynasty has an emperor!
With this thought in mind, he quickly agreed. Emperor Chongzhen didn't need to explain. He naturally knew that if the pressure on Jianlu was too great at this time, unless Jianlu could be defeated in one fell swoop, the crisis would make Jianlu feel that their lives were at stake and give up their fight to unite.
When he was thinking about it, Emperor Chongzhen told him again: "Although there is no need to occupy North Korea for the time being, we must also infiltrate the remaining forces of North Korea. When the Ming Dynasty has the energy to take over North Korea in the future, we must ensure that there will be no problems." !”
Regarding this, Lu Xiangsheng agreed immediately without any hesitation. It was just a trivial matter.
However, at this time, he still didn't know that this matter was not as easy as he imagined. If Emperor Chongzhen hadn't given him an explanation at this time, he would have been in big trouble if he turned back.
After Emperor Chongzhen finished explaining the matter, under the personal protection of Zheng Zhilong, he took Chen Shaozong's mother back to the capital to celebrate the New Year.
This time I returned to the capital and gained quite a lot, at least it made Huang Taiji mad! Now all that's left is to sit back and watch the civil strife in Jianlu!
But obviously, although Emperor Chongzhen had a golden finger, not everything was under his control. At least the real cause of Huang Taiji's death was not what he thought, but someone else. , helped him, and together they made Huang Taiji angry to death. In addition, Jianlu's battle for the heir was also beyond Emperor Chongzhen's expectations.
…………
On the Jianlu side, Daishan had a rare second spring. Regardless of fatigue, he hurried on, and sometimes even rode a horse on his own. When he was really tired, he took a carriage, and drove like this. It took more than eight hundred miles. Within half a month, I rushed back to Shengjing.
Before he entered Shengjing City, he felt the tense atmosphere. Not only inside Shengjing City, but also outside Shengjing City, soldiers and horses from all walks of life were stationed. They were all on guard against each other as if they were enemies, and they were on the verge of a fight. Even if there is no fight at the moment, it is like extremely dry firewood. As long as a match is thrown in, it will burn immediately.
Seeing this, Daishan was even more worried and hurriedly went to Beijing. However, he was stopped several times on his way into the capital city gate. Of course, after he revealed his identity, no one dared to stop him.
When he first entered the city gate, people from all walks of life rushed to greet him immediately. After all, he is the head of the princes and the eldest one. Even when Huang Taiji was alive, he didn't like him but could only enshrine him.
"Prince Li is finally back. You are here to judge. My father passed away, so naturally I have to take over the throne. It's a pity that my father's body is not yet cold, but someone is beginning to covet the throne!" Hauge said when he saw Dai Shan, he Pretending to be pitiful, he said it first.
When Duduo, who arrived almost at the same time, heard this, he immediately retorted: "We in the Qing Dynasty don't have the bad habit of Han dogs. Who said that father must die and son should succeed? What's wrong with brother's death?"
Of course Yue Tuo also arrived and immediately echoed: "The throne of the Qing Dynasty is of great importance, so we must be cautious. Only someone with enough prestige can succeed!"
"..."
The sullen Daishan ignored their words and just asked his son: "Where is the emperor buried?"
No matter what, he had to go and worship first.
However, after hearing what he said, the few people who were rushing to talk just now had weird looks on their faces. In the end, it was Yue Tuo who answered his father's words: "The funeral has not happened yet, but he is still in the palace!"
After Huang Taiji died, he sent people there to exchange prisoners, and Daishan rushed back. This back and forth lasted more than a month. Daishan didn't expect that this group of people would abandon Huang Taiji's funeral!
"Hmph!" Daishan glanced at the faces of the Qing princes in front of him, stared into their eyes, and let out a heavy snort. Then, without paying any attention to anyone, he said "drive" and drove forward directly to the palace. And go.
When Hauge, Duoduo and others saw each other, they couldn't help but look at each other. In the end, they didn't say anything and hurriedly caught up with Daishan and headed to the palace together.
As expected, there were fully armed soldiers everywhere in Shengjing City, including the Eight Banners, each guarding a block, and they were very wary of each other. This situation is even more obvious when arriving at the palace. At each door, people from all walks of life looked at each other, and the eyes they looked at each other were vicious.
Daishan came all the way and didn't see any signs of mourning. They were all tense battles between soldiers of the Qing Dynasty. Seeing this, he couldn't help but feel very heavy.
Huang Taiji's body had been put into a coffin, but that was all. There was not even a mourning hall. When Dai Shan saw it, he was even more angry. He estimated that if the corpse hadn't stinked, wouldn't these things have even given Huang Taiji a coffin?
In fact, Huang Taiji's treatment was not bad. In history, after some emperors died, they were simply abandoned without even a coffin.
Daishan tried hard to suppress his extremely angry mood, and without saying a word, he offered incense to Huang Taiji, and then stood there silently, stroking the coffin.
Hauge, Duduo and others were silent when they saw it. It seemed that only at this moment did they come to their senses. The person lying in the coffin was their emperor. The words and deeds of Daishan, the prince who was once the leader of the Eight Baylors, still had a somewhat intimidating effect.
Dorgon and Azig, two princes without military power, were also notified at this time and hurried over. Seeing this, everyone was speechless and did not dare to speak.
They felt that Daishan at this time was like a powder keg. If anyone made any move and offended him, there would definitely be a big explosion. For no reason, no one wants to push Daishan to the opposite side. Even Yue Tuo didn't dare to mess with his father at this time.
However, their feelings for Daishan were just that. If you really want to say how scared you are, that's not the case. After all, Daishan does not have military power in his hands. Three thousand defeated soldiers? They are not elites yet. Once a fight breaks out, they will not even be able to fill the gap between their teeth.
At this time, suddenly there was a noise outside, and faintly, there was the sound of horse hooves and the collision of swords, guns, swords and halberds.
Is there a fight outside? When these princes heard this, they couldn't help but be a little surprised. Hauge, Duoduo and Yuetuo, who held military power, immediately looked at each other and saw each other's wariness. Almost at the same time, the three of them wanted to go out to see the situation.
After all, if two of the parties fight first, it will definitely be easier for the third party.
However, at this moment, rapid footsteps could be heard outside the hall. Before they could go out, someone rushed into the temple from outside.
When everyone took a closer look, they saw a group of yellow jackets with white ribbons tied around their heads. Everyone recognized the man at the head as Huang Taiji's confidant, the leader of the bodyguards, Obai.
That's right, Oboi is back. No one informed him of Huang Taiji's death, so he didn't learn the news of Huang Taiji's death until much later, so he immediately led his troops back.
In his hands, he now holds the elites that Huang Taiji secretly deployed to deal with the Dongjiang Army during his lifetime. Huang Taiji did not withdraw his will, so this elite is led by him. The leaders of the army are also Huang Taiji's cronies. For this purpose , at that time just to try not to leak the news. Now, it has an unexpected effect.
After Obai led a pile of yellow jackets into the hall, he saw the coffin at a glance. After being stunned for a moment, they all rushed towards it and started crying.
Among the princes in the palace, only Hauge was overjoyed and immediately started crying, shouting, "My father, you died so miserably..."
However, although she cried loudly, there were no tears, and she was still looking at Obei from time to time.
When Dodo and Yue Tuo saw each other, their hearts tightened. As soon as their eyes met, they immediately understood each other's intentions and reached an agreement with each other to deal with Hauge together.
In the original history, during the struggle for succession after the death of Huang Taiji, Obai also appeared on the stage of history at that time and became an important figure in the history of the Qing Dynasty. At that time, although there was no such thing as the Dongjiang Army, he was highly trusted by Huang Taiji and was the commander of the two yellow flags. His attitude was very firm and he must support Huang Taiji's son to become the next emperor. It is also because of this that Ao Bai did not have much fame before, but in the blink of an eye he became the Minister of Gu Ming and the Minister of Tuogu. His power reached its peak during the Kangxi period.
At this time, he was just like he was in history. After crying and paying homage to Huang Taiji, they immediately drew their swords and threatened him, making it clear that they, the group of yellow jackets, would not recognize anyone, but only Huang Taiji's son, in order to succeed to the throne as the Qing Emperor.
His stupid words and deeds made Dodo and Yue Tuo dare not act rashly. Because when Hauge came to fight, he was fighting for himself and had selfish motives, just like them. However, people like Ao Bai have no interest in it, and they cannot come to steal the emperor's throne. Their loyalty to Huang Taiji and the candidates for the Qing succession represented, to a large extent, the opinions of the soldiers and people of the Qing Dynasty.
Although the Mongols have the practice of brotherly succession, the Qing Dynasty has already established itself as the emperor, which is different from the Mongols after all. Moreover, for the emperor's succession, most people, especially the Jianzhou Jurchens who were once part of the Ming Dynasty, also agreed with their son's succession.
Aobai had military power in his hands, and Daishan immediately expressed the same view, adding to the importance of the imperial succession. This made Hauge grin and almost burst into laughter.
However, how could Duduo and Yue Tuo give up.
Among them, Duduo immediately pointed at Hauge and shouted: "He is such a bear. If he becomes the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, what can he do? Is it because he thinks the Qing Dynasty does not die quickly enough?"
"Yes, the late emperor had a low opinion of him when he was still alive!" Yue Tuo immediately agreed, "If he was really capable, the late emperor would have made him the prince long ago, but, is it possible? He is so old. Not only did he not become a prince, but he was often reprimanded by the late emperor. How could a person like this become the emperor of the Qing Dynasty and compete with the Ming Dynasty?"
Hauge was speechless and really wanted to bite these two beasts to death. However, when he opened his mouth, he couldn't bite or refute. Finally, he straightened his neck and shouted: "I am the father's son, and you are not!"
This time, it was Duduo and Yue Tuo's turn to be dumbfounded. This guy only focused on this point. They couldn't refute it, because they were not Huang Taiji's kind.
At the critical moment, Dorgon also spoke: "Hauge is not capable enough, nor is he virtuous enough. He cannot convince the public at all. If he becomes the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, it will not take long before the Qing Dynasty will be defeated by the Ming Dynasty. Everyone , are you willing to see this end?"
The lack of ability of this group of people to attack him was enough to annoy him, but this Dorgon even added that he was not moral enough. When Hauge heard this, he became furious and shouted at Dorgon: "You fucking , that eye sees that I am not virtuous enough?"
"In the fourth year of Chongde, I captured the Jinan Prefecture of the Ming Dynasty and captured all the vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty. I said at that time that I would dedicate them to the emperor." Dorgon said with a sneer, "But you still forced all those princesses to sleep. , do you have any respect for your father in your heart?"
"Yes, I can prove this too!" Yue Tuo immediately agreed upon hearing this.
Although Huang Taiji probably didn't want her, at least at that time, before Huang Taiji made a decision, she was regarded as Huang Taiji's woman. Hauge actually dared to touch her. Even if Jianlu was not civilized enough, he would not allow her.
At this moment, the yellow jackets who were absolutely loyal to Huang Taiji all glared at Hauge, and even insulted their own father. Is such a person worthy of being the emperor of the Qing Dynasty?
Hauge himself had forgotten about it. When Dorgon mentioned it, he was immediately dumbfounded.
As a result, the matter of succeeding to the emperor came to a stalemate, and there was no longer a one-sided succession to Huang Taiji's son. While these individuals began to take care of Huang Taiji's funeral affairs, they continued to engage in fierce verbal battles over the issue of the throne.
But it didn't last long before things took a new turn.
