Chapter 1104: Auxiliary Minister


When the scholar Wang Xi wrote the edict, Shunzhi said the names of the four auxiliary ministers in turn, namely Sony, Sukh Saha, Aobai, and Dunbai.

When it comes to the edict, the order of the four auxiliary ministers is naturally headed by Sony, followed by Sukh Saha, and Ao Bai and Dun Bai are ranked third or fourth.

The four auxiliary ministers are all from the two yellow banners, Sony, Aobai, and Sukh Saha are all ministers of the interior, and Dunbai is the general of Shengjing, the current minister of the guard, the pillar of the security of the capital.

At the beginning, if it weren't for Dunbai to lead the Eight Banners outside the customs into the customs, I am afraid that Shunzhi would have been forced to abdicate by several of his good "brothers".

Aobai led the army outside, Dunbai led the army, Sonny and Suke Saha dealt with the government, the four of them were their own confidants, good slaves, and helped deal with the government before their son became pro-government, resisted the Ming army and rebels in the south, and stabilized the situation in the north, this arrangement of Shunzhi is undoubtedly very appropriate.

It's just that in terms of seniority, Sony is the head of the auxiliary minister, and there is no objection within the Eight Banners, because Sony's seniority is too old.

As early as the time of Emperor Taizu, Sonny was already a first-class guard, a bachelor of Naowen.

Later, Emperor Taizong died, and it was also Sonny and Ao Bai who led the two yellow flags and the two white flags to confront each other, fighting for their lives, and Dolgon, who was forced to support Shunzhi as the emperor.

In the Shunzhi Dynasty, Sony was not only the Minister of the Interior, but also the Minister of Parliament, so he was the head of the auxiliary ministers, and Manchuria, including the Empress Dowager, had no opinion.

However, Sukh Saha came in second, which made many people dissatisfied.

Including some princes and ministers, everyone thinks that Sukh Saha is not qualified enough and is a villain, even if the emperor is more important than him and calls him a minister of life, he should be ranked after Ao Bai and Dun Bai.

Sukh Saha is regarded as a villain, which has something to do with the fact that he sued Dolgon for the first time after Dolgon's death.

Although he has been leading the army in the south in the next few years, and has also defeated Liu Wenxiu's department of the Southern Ming Dynasty many times, and has made a lot of achievements, the notoriety of this "first complaint" has always affected him, even if Shunzhi is very trustworthy to him and mentions him as the Minister of the Interior, Manchurian still looks down on him a little.

This time, Suke Saha quietly became the "second assistant", which really surprised many people, but the edict of the first emperor has been issued, and it cannot be changed, and the princes and ministers can only acquiesce.

Fortunately, Sukh Saha is also a smart person, and he knows that there are many people who are dissatisfied with him, so after he became the auxiliary minister, he asked Sony more when he encountered problems, and Sony did not decide to submit it to the Empress Dowager herself, never made his own opinions, and did not put on the frame of the auxiliary minister, which made him somewhat downplay some of his dissatisfaction.

Ao Bai ranked third, and he didn't mind, because he knew that this was the best placement for himself during his lifetime, after all, the Yangzhou Battle was commanded by him, but this battle buried more than 30,000 children of the Eight Banners, and scared the master to flee south in a hurry.

Many people argue that the reason why the master contracted smallpox was because he contracted the wind and cold on the way north that day, which caused the body to be weak and weak, so that smallpox invaded the imperial body.

After losing the battle and harming the master, Ao Bai's heart was full of guilt.

When he was ordered to lead the Eight Banners of the Forbidden Brigade to the battlefield of the Central Plains, he was already determined to learn from the Han people like a horse leather shroud, and only in that way could he be worthy of the trust and grace of his master.

If it weren't for his master, he would have been executed by Dolgon, and now he would be now.

However, Ao Bai himself doesn't mind the rank of the auxiliary ministers, but some people mind, especially the villain Suke Saha who is ranked above Ao Bai, which makes people even more unwilling.

These people are mainly the old department of Ao Bai in the Two Yellow Banners, and there are some ministers who used to be attached to Ao Bai, and even some Beile and Beizi.

Beile Tuntai, who resisted the Taiping army in Xuzhou, was very worthless for Aobai, and if it wasn't for Aobai sending people to dissuade him, Tuntai might have been folded.

Before leading the army into the customs, Tunbai stayed in Shengjing for eight years.

General Sheng Jing sounded majestic, but in fact, he only had jurisdiction over the twenty or thirty thousand Niu Lu who had not moved into the pass under the Five Banners in the past, half of them were old, weak, sick and disabled, and there were tens of thousands of mature women.

There are many of these raw and mature Jurchen tribes, including Feiyala, Sauron, Evenki, Yellow Sheep and Savage, Balhu, etc., more than one or two thousand, and few are only a few dozen or hundred.

There were many important towns outside the Guan, such as Shengjing, Liaoyang, Tieling, etc., but now there are only two, one is Shengjing, and the other is Ningguta.

To put it bigger, Dunbai is the town guard of the Longxing Land of the Qing Dynasty, and to the smallest, it is just the watchdog of Manchuria's hometown.

Therefore, in the eight years that he served as General Shengjing, Dunbai's influence in the court can almost be said to be non-existent, and even many people do not remember this former scholar of Hongwen Academy.

If it weren't for the successive defeats of the Qing Dynasty in the southern wars, the losses of the Eight Banners soldiers who entered the customs were too heavy, and this bit of Niulu outside the customs would not be taken seriously by Manchu at all.

Now, Dunbai has become the savior of the Eight Banners in the Guannai, and the more than 20,000 people he brought from outside the Guanxi not only helped Shunzhi stabilize the situation, but also became a new force that was pinned on by the princes and ministers.

The soldiers and horses brought by Dunbai are now brought by Ningguta Dutong An Zhuhu with 7,000 armored soldiers and 6,000 newly attached Manchurian to the south under the command of Aobai, and the remaining 6,000 armored soldiers and 4,000 Han troops have been supplemented with two blue flags and two red flags together with thousands of people from the Han army and green battalion stationed in Zhili, Shanxi and other places, which can be regarded as re-erecting the two blue and two red shelves that have been disabled.

These 20,000 people are also the last bit of strength in the city of Beijing, and if they are all thrown into Henan, there will be no soldiers in Beijing.

In the hearts of many Manchurian princes and ministers, the 20,000 people in Dunbai were actually their capital to retreat outside the border, and until the last moment, these 20,000 people would absolutely not be able to move.

Tunbai has a heavy army and is an auxiliary minister, so although he is ranked last, he is not obedient to Sonny and Sukh Saha, which makes Sonny and Sukh Saha a headache.

Fortunately, the Empress Dowager has been pressuring Tunbai and supporting Sonny and Sukh Saha, which makes Tunbai dare not be too presumptuous.

In the interval between the funeral of Emperor Daxing, Sonny and Suke Saha seized the opportunity to issue a holy decree in the name of the new monarch, telling the kings Baylor and the ministers of civil and military affairs, saying that the imperial court would "carefully examine Taizu and Taizong into constitutions and make them regulations", and quoted the words of Emperor Daxing's edict "You can't look up to Taizu and Taizong, and change more", saying that "now we should lead the ancestral system, restore the old chapter, and use the will of the deputy emperor".

As soon as this decree was issued, it caused an uproar among Hanchen.

Feng Quan, a scholar, was the first to know the content of this will, and at that time, he felt extremely cold like the grass and trees in autumn.

Because this will violates the "Manchu and Han family" advocated by the first emperor during his lifetime, Manchu is Han, Han is Manchu, enrich Manchu with the Han army and green camp, and reuse the national policy of uniting the Han gentry to consolidate the fundamental Manchuria.

Although this national policy may have been an urgent "measure" that the first emperor had to take under the unfavorable situation of the war, after all, whether it was the holy decree, the official letter to the ministries, and the ongoing flag-raising matters, it was beneficial to the Han officials and the Han army, as well as to the Han gentry.

Even in time, ten or twenty years later, most of the population of Manchu will be completely Han Chinese, and there is no distinction between the real Manchu and Han, and from then on, the officials of the various ministries will not have to divide into Manchu Shangshu, Mengshang Shu, and Han Shangshu.

This Qing Dynasty really became the power of China like the Northern Wei Dynasty thousands of years ago.

However, before the first emperor's bones were cold, the auxiliary minister drafted such a decree that made Han officials chill, Feng Quan didn't know what other Han officials thought, and what did the two old men Ning Wan me and Fan Wencheng think, anyway, he couldn't accept it.

In order to find out what the auxiliary ministers wanted to do, Feng Quan found Wang Xi, who drafted the edict.

Wang Xi was the handwriter of the edict of Emperor Daxing and the edict of the guilty emperor, and he was also the last Han official that Emperor Daxing saw during his lifetime, so Feng Quan believed that Wang Xi must have known the true intentions of the first emperor during his lifetime, and he could also understand why Sony and they went against the will of the first emperor and issued such a will that made the Han officials feel cold.

However, Wang Xi was silent for a long time, and Feng Quan was in a hurry, so he smiled bitterly and said: "Once a son of heaven and a courtier, don't you think that the court will never change?"

Feng Quan said angrily: "Of course the imperial court will change, but the bones of the first emperor are not cold, they are going to change greatly, are they not afraid of the mouth of the world?"

Wang Xi comforted him and said: "I only said that I led the ancestral system and restored the old chapters, but I didn't say that I had cut the layout of the first emperor." ” "Not necessarily, there are two if there is one.

Sony has always disliked our Han officials, Suke Saha is the only one who looks at him, Dunbai is a barbarian from outside the Guan, the only one close to our Han officials Ao Bai is outside, Sony They really want to overturn the previous emperor's decree, we can't do anything, Ao Bai is also beyond the reach of the whip. ” Feng Quan is worried that Sony will "strike while the iron is hot" and issue some edicts that are unfavorable to Han officials.

Sure enough, he was right, and three days later, the second edict was issued.

However, it is "six withdrawals and four revocations", the so-called six withdrawals, that is, the withdrawal of the thirteen yamen, the withdrawal of the cabinet, the withdrawal of the Hanlin Academy, the withdrawal of the Taichang Temple, the withdrawal of the Guanglu Temple, and the withdrawal of the Hongzhu Temple; The four repetitions are for the resumption of the three inner courts, the resumption of the domain, the addition of one member of each of the six Manchu officials, and the addition of one member of the Manchu imperial history of the five cities.

This "six withdrawals and four reversions" abolished all the Ming Dynasty political systems inherited from the Qing Dynasty.

Feng Quan's heart was even cooler, according to the news he got, Prince Kang Jieshu had strongly opposed the "six withdrawals and four repetitions", so he entered the palace to meet the empress dowager, but I don't know what slander Sony they had entered with the empress dowager, her old man actually supported the "six withdrawals and four repetitions", and reprimanded Prince Kang and told him to go back to Ansheng to do his own thing, and the ministers of the court should not discuss it.

"The Empress Dowager is afraid that the kings will interfere with her grandson" Feng Quan of the three dynasties is average, why the empress dowager reprimanded Prince Kang, is not because Prince Kang is now the head of the kings, young and strong, and is the enemy of her eight-year-old grandson.

Wang Xi didn't dare to say this, so he cautiously glanced outside, and then put his heart down.

"This time, Sony and they are happy, the Manchurians have regained their power, we Han people are like night pots, the first emperor wants to use it, this has not been used up, and they were thrown away by Sony."

Feng Quan's analogy made Wang Xi's face turn green, squeaked twice, and reluctantly said: "It's not good for you to say that, these six withdrawals and four repetitions are not all bad politics."

At least, the removal of the thirteen yamen and the expulsion of internal officials is always a good government, you must not forget, the former Ming eunuchs were chaotic and harmful, but it is sensational.

This time it has gone to the future, we should be happy and right.

I heard that more than 4,000 eunuchs were expelled at once. ” Feng Quan sneered: "It's okay, it's a serious matter, but I think it's still to come, we Han officials, we still have to think about the way back." ” Wang Xi was surprised: "What do you mean?"

Feng Quan still smiled coldly: "It's not interesting, it's just that people don't look down on us, we can't always stick a hot face to other people's cold butts." ” After Feng Quan left, Wang Xi kept thinking about what he said just now, but the more he thought about it, the more shocked he became, so that he didn't dare to think deeply.

After the "six withdrawals and four resumptions", Sony did not issue any new orders, but the Empress Dowager made a decree, which is a good thing.

Yi Zhi restored the title of Prince An Yue Le, and succeeded Prince An with his ninth son, Yatu.

After Yue Le's death, he was scolded by Shunzhi as Aqina, saying that he was inferior to pigs and dogs, and under the pressure of the Manchu Dynasty, he refused to restore Yue Le's reputation, and also raided Prince An's mansion, which caused many people in Baqi to be disappointed in Shunzhi.

During the Jiangbei War, some Manchurian soldiers under Yue Le rebelled and defected to the Ming Dynasty.

Now that the Empress Dowager has restored Prince An's reputation, it can be regarded as doing a good thing for her son that she did not do in his lifetime.

This move allowed the Empress Dowager to win more support from within the Eight Banners.

Yatu is Yue Le's ninth son, and his mother is Yue Le's Shufu Jin Zhou Yazhu.

Yatu also has eight older brothers, but unfortunately none of them survived.

The eldest died at the age of ten, and the youngest was only three years old.

Speaking of which, Yue Le is afraid that he has done all the bad things in his previous life, otherwise he would not have broken nine sons in a row. oshow7 t1706231537:
