Sure enough, shortly after Huang Taiji's death, both sides became active, and then changed from behind the scenes to the public.
The two ministers of Huang Qi, Turg, Sony, Tulai and Xihan, discussed the establishment of Hogg, plotted for a long time, and found Jill Harlan to seek his support. And two white flag Azig and Dodo also found Dourgen, expressed their support for his accession to the throne, and told him not to be afraid of two yellow flag ministers. There are frequent activities between the two sides, and the atmosphere is becoming increasingly tense. First of all, Turg, who put forward the idea of establishing Haug, ordered his Qin Bing to draw his sword to protect his home, just in case.
On August 14 of that year, Wang got together in Chongzheng Hall to discuss the issue of succession to the throne. Whether this problem can be solved peacefully is directly related to the safety of the Eight Banners and the future of the Qing Dynasty. The two yellow flag ministers can't wait. On the one hand, they sent people to be nervous and surrounded the Chongzheng Hall. On the other hand, holding the hilt, he broke into the main hall and took the lead in advocating the establishment of a prince, but was denounced by Dourgen as illegal. At this time, Azig and Dodo later came out to persuade Dourgen to accede to the throne, but Dourgen observed the situation and did not agree immediately. Duoduo turned to Daishan as a candidate, while Daishan argued on the grounds of "old age and infirmity" and proposed Dourgen and Haug, with ambiguous opinions. Seeing that he could not pass the customs smoothly, Haug threatened to leave. The two ministers of the yellow flag also left their seats, pressed their swords forward and said, "If you don't set up a prince, you'd rather die than go underground from the first emperor!" Daishan saw the great potential and hurriedly quit, followed by Archie. When Dourgen saw this situation, he felt that he could not stand on his own feet as emperor. He quickly put forward his opinion that Fu Lin, the youngest son of Huang Taiji, should be emperor, and he and JiErlang should be able to make ends meet, and then return to politics when he is old. This proposal surprised everyone. As soon as the prince was established, the mouths of the two yellow flag ministers were blocked. Hogg was unhappy, but he couldn't say it. Dourgen made a step forward by retreating, but as an assistant king, he was also the actual ruler. Gil Haran himself didn't expect to touch the light, and of course he wouldn't object. Dai Shan only wants the overall situation to be stable, and has no desire to fight for a position, and has no objection to this plan. In this way, this compromise is accepted by all parties, but the resulting new political pattern will have a great impact on the political situation in the next few years or even decades. ①
Dourgen chose Fu Lin as emperor because some poets and poets dragged him into the "love" with his mother, Zhuangfei. In fact, Dourgen chose Fu Lin because he was only six years old and easy to control, and ruled out Haug, thus excluding Ye Bushu and his ministers. Second, because his mother, Princess Yongfu Gongzhuang, won the favor of Huang Taiji and had a high status, ministers were more likely to accept her son as emperor, even in line with the wishes of the first emperor. Of course, although the name of the imperial concubine of Lin Zhigong is higher than that of Zhuang Fei, her actual status is not high, and her two-year-old son, Baimu Bogor, cannot be selected. At the same time, the candidate for the assistant king also represents the balance of power of all parties. Since the Yellow Flag and the White Flag are the main competitors, Fu Lin's accession to the throne has already represented the interests of the Yellow Flag and Zhenglan Banner, and it is inevitable that Dourgen will be the assistant government.
But I was afraid that he would not get the consent of his opponent when he came to power alone, so I pulled Jilalang. In the other side's view, this is a centrist who suppresses Dourgen. In Dourgen's view, this man is easier to deal with. For the lower subjects, Dourgen and Jill Harlan were the most trusted and reused people in Huang Taiji's later years. They took the lead in handling many government affairs, so it is not surprising that they became regents.
In this way, Dourgen properly handled the very thorny issue of the struggle for the throne, and he himself took a step toward the peak of power. Subsequently, the ruling group dealt with Ailidu, Shuogui, Houge and their subordinates who opposed this new pattern, and stabilized the new rule. This plan of Dourgen objectively avoided the civil strife in the Eight Banners, preserved its strength and maintained the basic consistency of the upper ruling group. Of course, his proposal was put forward after his struggle for the throne was not easy to succeed. It was put forward under the threat of two ministers with yellow flags, not because he was far-sighted and broad-minded from the beginning.
