Huang taiji has many sons. At that time, Ao Bai, Sony and others wanted to support Hogg, because Hogg was the eldest son of Huang Taiji at that time and an adult prince, so he was the most sure. However, it didn't take long for Ao Bai, Sony and other ministers to give up their support for Haug. The reason is that, on the one hand, Haug himself is unpopular. While everyone is supporting him, he himself has repeatedly said that he is "blessed with virtue" and is not worthy of inheriting the throne. On the other hand, Haug once had a bad act of killing his wife, which was also mentioned by people in the Dourgen camp, which made Ao Bai, Sony and others think that he had little chance of winning. Therefore, Ao Bai, Sony and others gave up their support for Hogg and turned to support other princes of Huang Taiji.
Jill Harlan and the two yellow flags have the same mentality. They support Hogg only because Hogg is the eldest son of the emperor. For Gil Haran, his power and status today depend entirely on Huang Taiji, and he and Huang Taiji grew up together and have a good relationship. He is the son of Shuerhaqi, and there is no possibility of succession, so he fully supports Huang Taiji's son to maintain the existing power. At this time, Dai Shan is over 60 years old, and there are old and young people in the family, especially after the death of his two favorite sons, Yue Tuo and Sahelian, he has no motivation to compete for the throne.
What he can do is to rely on his qualifications and strength to try his best to maintain the stability and balance of the political situation and ensure the smooth transition of the political power, and it is undoubtedly the most appropriate for Huang Taiji's sons to succeed him. As for why Hao Ge didn't even become a regent, this also reflects the correctness of my above analysis. Otherwise, if the two are equal in strength, will Hao Ge be willing? Obviously unlikely. It is not difficult to imagine that Hao Ge's fate will be very tragic. At the end of the article, Bian Xiao also wants to emphasize that when studying and expounding historical issues, we should adhere to Marxist historical materialism and oppose historical nihilism. On today's topic, just don't make unnecessary guesses, just believe that history can't be assumed!
