Emperor Taiji was the eighth son of Nurhaci and the founding emperor of the Qing Dynasty. The contemporary novelist Jin Yong commented on him: "The wisdom and strategy of Emperor Taiji are actually rare figures among the emperors of China's past dynasties, and their own talents and insights are not under Liu Bang, Liu Xiu, Li Shimin, and Zhu Yuanzhang. Probably because he was the emperor of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, Chinese historians have never given him the extremely high evaluation he deserves because of racial prejudice. In fact, with his knowledge of people, open-mindedness, foresight, and determination, since Tang Taizong, few Chinese emperors have been able to match. Although Huang Taiji's military genius was inferior to his father's, his political ability was still superior. "This assessment is pertinent.
Daishan was not favored by Nurhaci, scolding Daishan: Are you worthy of being the king of a country?
Before Nurhaci's death, he already had the idea of fighting in the Central Plains to become an emperor, but at that time, his strength was not enough, so he did not dare to act rashly. When he died, in the seventh year of the Ming Dynasty's Apocalypse (1627), the Ming court still had a deterrent effect on Houjin. Because of this, Nurhaci did not explicitly stipulate in his khanate's decrees the edicts of succession.
Originally, according to Nurhaci's idea, his Khan position was ready to be inherited by his eldest son Chu Ying. However, Chu Ying was so harsh on his brothers that he even asked them to inform him of all the things they did, and then to tell Nurhaci. The brothers were overwhelmed and collectively denounced Chu Ying's various bad deeds to Nurhaci. In the end, Chu Ying, who had countless credits, was not only disqualified as an heir, but also lost his life. In this way, the heir's place naturally comes to the head of the second son, Daishan.
Nurhaci was a little annoyed with this second son, and in addition to Daishan's ambiguous relationship with daifukujin, his actions in life always disgusted his father and brothers. The residential mansion that Daishan built for himself was even more magnificent than nurhaci's own palace. The other Baylors demanded that Daisan clean himself and move out of the house, and use the beautiful mansion as a place for them to feast and gather externally and internally. Where is Daishan willing to agree? This added to Nurhaci's resentment of his dissatisfaction.
In addition, Daishan's second son, Shuotuo, abandoned the camp and surrendered to the Ming army, but failed. Nurhaci later learned the details because Daisan listened to his wife's rumors and wanted to kill Shuoto, so as to force Shuoto to defect. The reason why Baylor and the ministers and generals did not stand up in time to speak was because they were afraid of the Daishan couple. Nurhaci was very annoyed by this and reprimanded Daishan: You are really a jerk! Do you deserve to be the king of a nation? This is another reason why Daishan is disgusted by Nurhaci.
Nurhaci set the policy of the state system, and his two sons persuaded Daishan to support the establishment of Emperor Taiji
According to the Records of Emperor Taizu of the Qing Dynasty, in the seventh year of the Mandate of Heaven (1622), the King of Eight Gushan (i.e., the Eight And Shuo Belle) and others asked Nurhaci, "Who can I wait for to inherit my father and emperor?" Nurhaci said, "He who succeeds me as king will not let the powerful do it." As soon as such people are kings, they are afraid of relying on the strong and powerful, and they are condemned to heaven. The King of the Eight Gu Mountains, er, among those who have the ability to receive the counsel, can succeed me. "Let's talk about the advantages of the Eight Gushan Kings in jointly managing the national government, that is, the importance of the Eight Banners to jointly decide the country.
The Eight Flags System Examination Truth says: "This passage is the great precept of Taizu to formulate the national system, which is not the wish of Emperor Taizong Taiji. "This analysis is very pertinent.
Later, Nurhaci died, and Wang's Donghualu Taizong records:
The eldest son of the Great Belle Daishan, Yue Tuo, and the third son, Sakhalian, told Daishan: "The country must not be without a monarch for a day, and it is advisable to make a grand plan as soon as possible." The Four Belles (referring to the Emperor Taiji) were only virtuous and crowned in the world, deeply in line with the Sacred Heart of the First Emperor, and everyone was pleased, and they were on the throne at the moment. Daizen said, "This USuShiya." Heaven forbid, who doesn't follow? "The next day, he wrote a book of good deeds to show that all Baylor was good.
The following note is that Emperor Taizong (Emperor Taiji) repeatedly thanked him, and the crowd insisted on asking for it before they agreed. This is the official article of the past, and on the back of the official article, what we see is the contradiction between Dai Shan and Emperor Taizong Taiji, which has long been very sharp.
Emperor Taiji skillfully applied a series of plans, Adun cast smoke screen bombs, and Dai Shan was really deceived
During Nurhaci's lifetime, although he did not explicitly say that he would pass it on to Emperor Taizong, he did have a preference for Emperor Taiji in the later period, which must have aroused the suspicion of Daishan. In the battle of Salhu in the fourth year of the Mandate of Heaven (1619), after Daishan asked Nurhaci to teach nurhaci, he swung his division to the east, but Emperor Taiji ignored Nurhaci's persuasion and rushed to the hill to make meritorious contributions before Daishan. It can be seen that Huang Taiji is aggressive.
Most prominently, in September of the sixth year of the Mandate of Heaven (1621), Nurhaci asked his close confidant Atun (Taizu's brother) who could ascend the throne, and At first Adun did not dare to express it explicitly, saying only "Knowing the son Mo Ruo Father, who dares to speak?" Nurhaci asked him to speak directly, and he said, "All men are wise and courageous, and everyone is praised." Nurhaci knew that this was referring to Emperor Taiji.
This time, the secret language was learned by Dai Shan, so he "deeply ranked" the Emperor Taiji. Adun also secretly told Daishan that Emperor Taiji and Mang Gultai and Azig wanted to kill him, and the situation was urgent and they must be guarded against. Dai Shan cried to Nurhaci, and Nurhaci summoned Mang Gultai and others, and all three of them denied it. Nurhaci thought that Adun was stirring up dissension, so he arrested Atun and accused him of "speaking things that are detrimental to the government of the country and other bad things about the little Belle.". Zhu Belle and the ministers advocated that he be put to death, but Nurhaci ordered him to be chained to an iron lock and imprisoned. Please think deeply, who made Atun put on the smoke screen? Nature is a vested interest - Huang Taiji. Emperor Taiji skillfully used a series of tricks to make Dai Shan more and more passive in this battle for the throne.
At that time, why did Dai Shan "deeply hold it"? Naturally, he very much wanted to inherit his father's throne, and the only one who could fight him at this time was Emperor Taizong Taiji. The Manchu Laozi Taizu Dynasty also records that the third-class vice admiral Borjin was upset with Adun in front of Mang Gultai, and criticized Zhu Belle for not using Taizu's likes and dislikes to change his attitude toward a Dun, why was Borjin so bold? Even the Korean envoy Jeong Chung-shin knew about this matter, and said that although Emperor Taiji was heroic and superhuman, Neido was jealous and "harbored a plan to kill his brother", which was also in line with Atun secretly telling that Emperor Taiji was going to kill Daishan. However, since Ah Dun hinted to Taizu that Emperor Taiji could be heirly, indicating that he had a good feeling for Emperor Taiji, why did he later inform DaiShan? This is puzzling.
In any case, the brotherly relationship between Huang Taiji and Daishan was already very bad before Nurhaci's death, but it was an indisputable fact.
The Dai Shan supporting the Establishment of Emperor Taiji in the Donghualu is not a fiction, but at this time, the trend of the times, the strength of The Emperor Taiji has far exceeded that of Daishan, and Daishan may have also declined in reputation in the Dafujin Incident, and is not tolerated by the commandments, so it can only be supported.
Emperor Taiji killed two birds with one stone, and Dai Shan could not sit with Emperor Taiji in the future and be courted by the chancellor
After Emperor Taizong Ascended the Throne, when emperor Taizong ascended the throne, Daishan and Mang Gurtai sat with the ministers south of Emperor Taizong, and later because Mang Gurtai was guilty of "pulling out the blade before the emperor", Zhu Belle said that Mang Gurtai was not suitable to sit side by side with the emperor, and Emperor Taizong said: "Sitting with the emperor, I am not sitting with him now, for fear that other countries will hear about it, I do not know the other, and I will doubt the differences between before and after." "Then he ordered the good to discuss with the people.
Why did Emperor Taizong Taiji appoint Dai Shan to discuss with everyone? Of course, Dai Shan understood very well, because Mang Gultai could no longer sit side by side in the future, it was a foregone conclusion, then only Dai Shan could sit together. Dai Shan took the initiative and said, "I am waiting for the offering to take the throne and sitting side by side with the lord, and I am not at peace with this." From now on, I will sit in the middle of the upper south side, and I will sit with Mang Gurtai on the side, and the foreign Mongolian beylers will sit under me and so on. All baylors agreed, and from then on, they completely changed the system of the past eight baylors to discuss state affairs.
The cause of this incident was originally only to deal with Mang Guertai alone, but the result was that there were many arrows, and Dai Shan was also gently pulled down, which was evident in Emperor Taizong Taiji's strategy.
Nurhaci "slapped a date" and took the opportunity to weaken the authority of Daishan
Dai Shan was careful from here, and he was careful to guard the duties of the monarch, but Emperor Taizong took every step of the way and was deeply wary of Dai Shan.
In the ninth year of Tiancong (1635), Emperor Taizong gave Hauge (the first son of Emperor Taizong) a concubine to the submissive Mongol Chahar Khan. Hauge originally had a wife, the daughter of Emperor Taizong's sister (Princess Hada) Mangguji, and Mangguji resented Emperor Taiji and said angrily, "My daughter is still alive, so why should I be married to Haugebele?" "Once, mangguji passed by daishan camp, and daishan invited her inside to entertain gifts. This was originally a normal exchange between brothers and sisters, but after Emperor Taizong heard this, he was furious and sent people to Daishan and his son Sakhalian to rebuke him: Mang Guji was able to do violent destruction when he was in Taizu, and Daishan was originally not in harmony with her, but because she resented Emperor Taizong, he invited her to the camp to feast and drink, "Why did you give it to You in the first place?" "And sakhalian's regency department, knowing that it is hidden, does not hear about it. He also said that the people that Emperor Taizong liked, the people he hated, the people that Emperor Taizong hated, but he liked, "Aren't you intentionally alienated"?
Obviously, Huang Taiji made such a fuss because Dai Shan held a high position of power in the middle of the dynasty and was the number two of the country above ten thousand people under one person. Coupled with the fact that he was older and had a meritorious service to himself, he had to give him three points of courtesy. This situation made Huang Taiji very worried. Therefore, he took advantage of this incident to weaken Daishan's authority by "slapping a date" and making Daishan fear him. This was also a common practice of the emperor, who had a strong political balance.
Emperor Taiji made a big fuss, and even Daishan was accused of feeding horses with grain and rice, and suppressed Daishan everywhere
There is also such a thing: after the death of the wife of Zilharang (Emperor Taizong's brother), Because Empress Sutai, the wife of Chahar Khan, was the sister of Daishan's deceased wife, and wanted to marry her, Zhu Belle had obtained The consent of Emperor Taizong with his words; Daishan, "alone against the theory of the people", wanted to marry Empress Sutai, and repeatedly told Emperor Taizong, and Emperor Taizong also rebuked him: "What is it that he who is sincere for the country is like this?" It is funny that condemning the good in this way is not "sincerity for the country". For example, When Emperor Taizong once sent someone to let Dai Shan marry Chahar Nang Nang Fujin (a married woman), Dai Shan, who thought she was poor, refused, and Emperor Taizong rebuked her: "Whoever marries a wife should be hired with wealth, is there any reason to marry her with wealth?" ”
The two events of Hauge and Zilharang's marriage are found in the "Donghualu", which makes people read the history of the wilderness, and also shows that the concept of the princes and nobles at that time was extremely casual, and Emperor Taizong, as the monarch, would allow his clan to marry the empress dowager of the Mongol tribes of the fallen country, and thus caused a public case.
Emperor Taizong used these two matters as an excuse to accuse Daishan of "contemptuous of the monarch", and Zhu Belle and the ministers listed Daishan's guilt as four articles, and proposed to remove the names of Daishan and Shuobeile and impose additional punishments, while Emperor Taizong Taiji was lenient in punishing only silver vests.
In the second year of Chongdeok (1637), Emperor Taizong also instructed Daishan, during his conquest, to feed horses with grain and rice and to use guards to overflow in violation of his will, and to act arbitrarily in everything, and listed below the various faults of Daishan, which said: "Although the husband is good and unrighteous, although he is respectful, he is not happy." He also said, "Otherwise, the yang is respectful, and the yin has a different heart, and the non-intention is also." ”
From here, we can also understand that Dai Shan was very respectful to Emperor Taizong Taiji at that time, but Emperor Taizong Taiji thought that it was hypocritical, or even had another "conspiracy", so it cannot be clearly explained. One thing is clear: DaiShan was initially a political enemy of Emperor Taizong, but although he later supported it, there was still a potential hostility in Emperor Taizong's consciousness, so it would weaken his prestige and curb his power, so even feeding horses with grain and rice should be regarded as a crime. However, from the perspective of power struggle, all this also has its necessity. Since DaiShan accompanied Nurhaci in his conquests, he was also a general among the father and son soldiers, but in the use of power and skill, the Emperor Taiji was much higher than him.
Emperor Taiji obtained the previous generation of national jade seals, the official emperor, changed the national name "Jin" to "Great Qing"
Emperor Taiji was extraordinary in martial arts, and after taking the throne, he continued to lead a large army to carry out a war to unify the jurchen departments in the northeast. At one time, the fourteenth brother of Emperor Taiji, Dolgun, led troops to pacify the Chahar Department. He heard that the wife of the head of the ministry, Su Taifujin, had a former national jade seal, so he immediately sent someone to ask for it and retrieve it, and it was really a treasure: the seal was beautiful jade, shining with a soft luster, the seal was two dragons with a vivid appearance, and the indian character was the Chinese character "Treasure of making the truth".
Huang Taiji was very happy to receive this treasure that symbolized the power of the state. He believed even more that he was really destined to rule the world, so he prayed to heaven, officially claimed the title of emperor, and changed the name of the country "Jin" to "Great Qing".
