After the posthumous title was formulated, the next step was trivial matters, such as keeping filial piety and so on, but the most important thing was that the new emperor ascended the throne. Dorgon said: "Now that the prince is young, we must choose some capable ministers." Assistant, I wonder if you have any suitable candidates?"
"Now that the emperor is young, he should elect auxiliary ministers to lead the ministers to assist the new emperor." Someone said.
After a heated or intense discussion, the candidate for the auxiliary minister was finally determined, and it was naturally Dorgon. It goes without saying that anyone with a discerning eye can tell at a glance who is the most suitable candidate here. Thesis In terms of martial arts, Dorgon is the best in Manchuria today.
Dorgon was very happy to see that everyone elected him as the auxiliary minister. He said: "I am flattered by everyone's support, but I am the only one who is afraid that my actions will be biased. It is better for everyone to nominate someone else to join me." What do you think about jointly assisting the new emperor?"
"This is really great. It seems that everyone has chosen the right person. The emperor is so humble. I believe that the emperor is in heaven, and he will be very happy." Shuosei said.
Dorgon couldn't help but patted him on the shoulder and said: "What are you talking about? What I want is to choose another person to help me, and he will definitely be able to serve the Qing Dynasty well. As the saying goes, two people can work together. Much better than being alone.¡±
So, the discussion started again, and this time the discussion took a long time, because besides Dorgon, there were too many other qualified or equivalent people. It was necessary to determine the best candidate at the same time. It's really not easy.
Seeing that everyone's discussion was fruitless, Dorgon said: "Then let me nominate someone. What do you think of Jilharang?"
Jierhalang has lived in Nurhaci¡¯s palace since he was a child. He was raised by Nurhaci, so he had a very good relationship with Nurhaci's sons, especially his relationship with Huang Taiji. Jierhalang had followed Nurhaci in his expeditions from north to south since his youth, and was awarded the title of He for his military merits. Master Baylor. He was one of the eight great masters of state affairs during the Nurhaci period, and one of the four great princes during the Huang Taiji era. He became the only person in the history of the Qing Dynasty who was titled "Uncle King". Later he entered the Ancestral Temple.
After hearing what he said, everyone looked towards Jierhalang. Jierhalang seemed a little surprised when Dorgon actually mentioned his name. He came to Dorgon's side and said, "Thank you for your support."
Dorgon said: "Don't say such things, let me ask you among all the people present, who can compare with you in terms of military merit? It would be best for you and me to jointly assist the new emperor. Let¡¯s ask everyone¡¯s opinion, what do you think of my proposal?¡±
"That's great. Among the people present, who can compare with these two? I agree." Someone said immediately.
Since there is the first, there will be the second and the third. Everyone present is a smart person. Judging from this matter, Dorgon, including Emperor Fulin, has already mastered the actual power. Who dares not to listen to what he says?
"Very good, let's draft the appointment edict now, and then start preparing for the new emperor to ascend the throne." Dorgon said.
Finally, the document was written, Dorgon named him regent, and other details were written. But they were not read out. These were to be read out together with Fulin's succession edict.
Afterwards, everyone dispersed, and Dorgon arranged for someone to keep a vigil. The next step was to prepare for the new emperor to ascend the throne. This is the key point. As the saying goes, the tea cools when the person is gone, now Huang Taiji is dead. Then his intimidation and majesty will no longer exist, and all subsequent work will center around the new emperor Aisin Gioro Fulin - or around Dorgon's will.
August 26th was the first day that Fulin ascended the throne and became the new emperor. It was still dark. The entire palace has already begun to get busy.
Fulin was still sleeping, so the wet nurse woke him up. When he opened his eyes, it was still dark. He asked, "It's not light yet, why did you wake me up?"
The wet nurse said: "Your Majesty, today is the day you ascend the throne. You should get up now. Come on, I will carry you to wash up."
"Oh." Although Fulin is only five years old, he is very sensible. Especially after this period of time under the guidance of Queen Xiaozhuang Wen, his whole temperament seems to have improved to a higher level.
The wet nurse picked him up and took him to bathe and eat, and then put on a new dragon robe specially made for him. A full hour passed. It was already dark at this timeWhen some light came on, the wet nurse said: "We should set off to Du Gong Hall now. The Queen Mother and the ministers are already waiting there."
"Oh." No matter what the nanny said or did, Fulin always remained expressionless. Perhaps these too many rules were originally a sin for a five-year-old child, a kind of strangling of nature.
The wet nurse didn't care what he said, she just held hands and came out. There was already a gorgeous carriage waiting outside. He hugged Fulin into the carriage, and then he sat next to her as usual.
But what happened next was unexpected and even unacceptable to her. Seeing the nanny who had raised him since childhood sitting on his car, Fulin frowned and seemed to dislike it very much. He said: "You are no longer suitable to ride with me in this car. (This is not your fault.) Suitable to ride)¡±
At this time, the wet nurse finally realized that the child she had cared for since infancy had now had a different identity, one that she worshiped. Thinking of this, the wet nurse suddenly felt very uncomfortable.
"Yes, Your Majesty. This servant is confused, please forgive me for your sins." The nanny quickly got out of the car and said to Fulin. After making sure that nothing was left behind, the carriage began to go to Du Gong Hall.
After a while, the carriage arrived at Dugong Hall, where a long guard of honor was already waiting. The red carpet was laid out from the very door of the hall, with guards holding canopies on both sides, all the way to a small small in front of the hall. platform. On the platform, the two auxiliary ministers, Prince Regent Dorgon and Prince Heshuo Zheng Jierhalang, stood by the door. Behind them were Fulin's biological mother, Queen Xiaozhuangwen, and Huang Taiji's first wife, Xiaoduan. Queen Wen. By the way, Queen Xiaoduanwen is the aunt of Queen Xiaozhuangwen. Behind the two of them were Fulin's uncles, aunts, uncles, brothers, and others, and behind them were the court ministers.
The carriage stopped, and the nanny took Fulin out of the car, ready to hold his hand and board the Dugong Hall. Unexpectedly, Fulin threw away the nanny's hand, then gently pushed her to stand farther away, and then left alone. People walked forward. At only five years old, he showed his domineering power as an emperor at this time.
Everyone looked at him, but he was not afraid at all. He straightened up his chest and started walking forward without any hesitation, including going up the steps. His eyes were always very firm.
Climb the last step of the stairs. When he came to the gate of Dugong Hall, he stopped and everyone knelt on the ground, including his biological mother, Queen Xiaozhuang Wen. All the people shouted to him: "I wish my emperor to inherit the throne, long live long live long live."
"Ping Shen." Although his voice was not loud, it was loud and clear, as if he had the aura of an emperor. Dorgon couldn't help but look at him one more time, and he seemed to be thinking about something in his heart.
Everyone stood up. Dorgon and Jierhalang stood beside Fulin on the left and right. Dorgon said: "Your Majesty, this is your succession edict. Please read it first. If you think there is no problem, , then I will read it out."
"No need to read it, just read it out." Fulin said. In fact, he was only five years old and didn't know a few words.
Dorgon nodded and said: "Okay, then I will read it out." He cleared his throat and began to read: "According to the edict of Emperor Chengyun of Heaven, Emperor Hong Wei Taizu, by the order of Heaven, established Hongji, a magical power Shengwu, the descendant of Yijue, came to our emperor's examination. Since he inherited the Yuan Dynasty, for seven years, he has shown great kindness and kindness. The business is booming, and the ministers can only sing the praises of ten thousand years. There is a danger of the palace chariot ("the palace chariot is driven far away" refers to the death of the emperor), and he will rush into others. At a young age, he will insult the clan alliance and the ministers. It is said that The sacred weapon cannot be empty for a long time, and the ancestral family cannot lack its owner. Among the princes, they all recommended me, and in accordance with public opinion, on August 26 of this year, the emperor sat in the Dugong Hall. In the play, I only gave me Boy, I am here to carry out an important task. I rely on my uncles, clan members, ministers and workers to work together to help me. The first day of the first lunar month of next year is the first year of Shunzhi. It is appropriate to issue a general amnesty to achieve a new plan. From August 26th, I will be happy. In the past, we always responded to criminals, and always pardoned those who could not be spared. We fully pardoned and publicized it at home and abroad, so that all officials would know about it."
All the people knelt down and shouted long live again. Jierhalang took out another edict and said: "This is the appointment letter between me and the regent. Let me read it out."
Fulin didn't say anything, so Ji'erharang read the words: "The Emperor has decreed that because of my young age, I am specially appointed as the regent of my uncle. I am given a book of treasures. I am also given a black fox hat inlaid with thirteen beads." One black fox fur, one thousand taels of gold, one hundred thousand taels of silver, ten thousand taels of satin, ten pommel horses, ninety horses, ten camels, plus Heshuo Prince Zheng Jierhalang jointly assist the government and serve as auxiliary ministers together. Grant me, appreciate this."
Afterwards, Dorgon pointed to the antlers in the middle of the hall.The throne said to Fulin: "Your Majesty, ascend the throne." (To be continued.)
