Beijing.

After the difficult summer, Shunzhi handed over the matter of sending Mongolian troops south to the meeting of the Ministers of the Political Consultative Conference. He originally planned to delay the matter further and see how Sun Kewang and Li Dingguo fought in the Southern Ming Dynasty. After the two decided to decide to increase their troops to Guangdong.

However, in mid-July, the governor of the five provinces, Hong Chengchou, made a note, saying that the court should immediately increase troops to Guangdong because he had planned to set up a strategy to advance to the southwest. The Qing army on the Hunan battlefield was naturally the middle route, and the troops to Hunan were to Guizhou; Wu Sangui in Baoning and Sichuan Governor Li Guoying were to the right route, and went to Sichuan to enter Yunnan; the two vassals of Ping and Jing met with General Hahamu of Jing as the left route, leading the army to join Guoan on the Guangxi front, and then rushing the troops to enter Yunnan. In this way, Sun Kewang and Li Dingguo decided to win and lose. The court ordered the three troops of troops to advance together, taking advantage of the great damage to the Nanming energy, and defeated the world!

Hong Chengchou's plan to advance three routes made Shunzhi applaud. He remembered that Guangdong had caused a lot of trouble in the past few days. Guangdong Governor Li Shutai and Jingnan General Hahamu both came over and said that Guangdong's troops were insufficient. Therefore, Shunzhi decided to send more Mongolian troops to Guangdong immediately to prevent the left side of Guangdong from dragging the back of the road when Yunnan was pacified, and asked Yongli Zhu Youlang to breathe again.

However, when Shunzhi was excited to raise the matter of sending Mongolian troops south again at the meeting of the King of Political Consultative Affairs, he was still not approved by the meeting of the King of Political Consultative Affairs. After Shunzhi came to the court, he was so angry that several antique vases in the palaces of the previous dynasty were broken.

After sleeping in Dong Efei for a night, Shunzhi decided to abolish the meeting of the princes and ministers of the State Council and set up a cabinet in the form of the former Ming Dynasty. From then on, the national affairs were avoided by the princes and princes of Manchus and Mongolia, and everything was decided by him, the emperor.

The meeting of the kings and ministers was established by the ancestral system, which was related to the distribution of power of the princes and ministers of Manchu in the court. Therefore, Shunzhi knew that it was difficult to do this. For this reason, he found the Grand Secretary Ning Wan and asked the Chief Han minister for his opinion.

Ning Wan, I agree with Shunzhi's idea of ​​withdrawing the government and forming a cabinet, but he specifically reminded Shunzhi that withdrawing the government and discussing the government is extremely difficult, not only violates the ancestral system, but also easily loses the hearts of the people. Therefore, Shunzhi should implement it slowly in the most prudent way and must not be rushed to implement it. Doing so can easily cause chaos in the Eight Banners.

All Shunzhi wanted was the support of Ning Wan, the chief Han minister, but the other party did not take the advice from him. After returning from Ning Wan, Shunzhi immediately went to find his mother and told the Queen Mother about the idea of ​​resolutely discussing the government and establishing a cabinet. The Queen Mother thought for a long time before agreeing that her son could give it a try. But he must not force him too much, and try more and stop it if he doesn't work. It is necessary to stabilize the hearts of the people and not cause trouble.

With the support of the empress dowager, Shunzhi felt relieved and immediately summoned Prince An Yue Le, who had supported him, to the palace. As a result, he said that he would stop discussing politics and establishing a cabinet. Yue Le was shocked on the spot.

"If the emperor filial piety ruled the world, if he withdraws the political discussion and changes his ancestors, he may not be convinced. Furthermore, the world has not yet settled and the Eight Banners soldiers are still fighting, can this matter be delayed? As for the change of the inner court to the cabinet, it is beneficial or harmless, I think it can be implemented."

Yue Le's report was very skillful. He supported the emperor to change the three inner courts into cabinets, but did not support Shunzhi's abolition of the meeting of the King of Political Consultative Conference, because no matter what, he was also the chief prince of the meeting of the King of Political Consultative Conference. If the meeting of the Prince and Minister of Political Consultative Conference was not present, he would be unable to do the chief prince.

Seeing that Yue Le disagreed, Shunzhi felt a little cold. He also intended to reveal this idea in front of the Ministers Sony, Suksaha, Aobai and others, asking them to test the tone of the kings Bele. As a result, the result reported by the Ministers of the Interior was disappointed by Shunzhi. Almost all the kings Bele in Beijing did not support him as the emperor.

Shunzhi decided to make a desperate move all night. He took turns to summon kings Beile in the Ganqing Palace, and made the matter clear and explained it to them, and forced them to submit with the emperor's threat.

The first person summoned by the East Warehouse Pavilion of the Ganqing Palace was Leer Jin, the Prince of Shuncheng.

Leerjin is not the king of political affairs, he is of low age and young. Shunzhi first summoned him, intending to attack the weak links. But as soon as Leerjin spoke, Shunzhi was stunned, because the stupid Leerjin, who had never been able to say this as he was today.

"Reported to the emperor, he withdraws the policy and changes the cabinet, and Leerjin thinks it is not possible. In April of the summer of the second year of Chongde, Emperor Taizong said: In the past, Jin Xizong followed the customs of Han, dressed in Han clothes and hats, and forgot his own words. Taizu Taizong's career declined. Now, he does not ride and shoot personally, but only indulge in banquets and entertainment, so that martial arts will be relaxed. I always go hunting, hoping to not forget riding and shooting, and practice soldiers diligently. The kings and bells have their own affairs to warn each other, so that the descendants will not change the system of ancestors. The ancestors' holy teachings will not be forgotten; the ancestors will be customized, and the descendants will not change. The emperor clearly saw Wanli, and Shulejin said bluntly..." Leerjin said, kowtowing repeatedly.

Listening to Leer Jin as smooth and dull as if he was written by the endorsement, Shunzhi was angry and funny, and frowned and asked, "How about your riding and shooting? Will you go to Jingshan tomorrow to test your immediate skills?"

"I..."

Leerjin's face turned red. He could not make any noise when he was riding and shooting. He was lying there and did not dare to make a sound.

"That's the truth that you are talking about the ancestors' holy teachings in front of me!" Shunzhi stared at Lehl Jin and asked sternly: "Who taught you to memorize these words?"

Leerjin was so scared that he said tremblingly: "It's really a royal family... they are afraid that the emperor will withdraw his political discussions, so everyone will discuss it and come in... They say that the emperor will follow the advice... Leerjin also prepared in advance..."

"Don't you understand that governing the world is different from being in Liaodong back then? If the system is not updated, how can the people be obedient and how can the world be stable?" Shunzhi looked at Leerjin's hollow eyes, with only fear and dullness. He couldn't help but ask loudly: "Do you understand what I said?"

Leerjin just thought the emperor was angry again, kowtowed repeatedly, sweating on his face, and repeated the old saying over and over again: "The emperor clearly sees Wanli, forgive Leerjin's crimes, and the ancestors have made the law, and must not change it!"

"go out!"

Shunzhi waved his hand violently, and Leer Jinru received a general amnesty and hurriedly withdrew from the Ganqing Palace. After coming out, he felt sweat all over his back.

Prince An Yue Le was the second person to enter the palace. When Shunzhi saw his expression, he knew that Yue Le still would not support him, and he felt a little regretful.

"The withdrawal of the political discussion and the establishment of a cabinet is a wise move by the emperor. There is no way to govern the world. If Emperor Taizong could enter the pass and become the master of the world, the same would be true. Outside the pass, within the pass, the geographical and people's situations were different, and if the national system was not changed, it would be like a thirty-year-old man wearing a baby clothes when he was five years old, either suffocating his lord to death or breaking his clothes..."

“It’s exactly!”

Shunzhi didn't expect Yue Le to say something to support him. He was very happy and said excitedly: "The Qing Dynasty is already a giant, and I want to sew a robe for him!"

Unexpectedly, Yue Le sighed and said, "Your Majesty, it's so good, it's just too early."

"Why?" Shunzhi was anxious and his voice went out of tune.

Yue Le said in a deep voice: "The emperor clearly understands it. Yue Le believes that after the Southern Ming Dynasty is destroyed, Yunnan and Guizhou are recovered, and the world is unified, it seems to be safer to start the change. If the emperor does this matter now, it will be of no benefit to the country and no benefit to Manzhou!"

"You...you go down."

Shunzhi frowned and signaled Yue Le to continue, not wanting to listen to Yue Le talk anymore.

The third person entering the palace was Prince Kang Jieshu. He was similar to Yue Le in many places, but he was particularly cautious. Although Jieshu was a descendant of Prince Li Daishan, he was not a direct descendant. He was young and had little experience, and was not as good as Yue Le in literature. He was not as good as Yue Le in martial arts, and was among his peers. He was a humble and gentleman attitude, which made people have a good impression of him. He also always paid attention to keeping the same distance from the forces of various factions and never crossed the boundaries.

When he was called today, Jieshu seemed nervous. When he knelt down, he almost fell down because he was pressing his robe by mistake. His eyes were also flickering, which shows that he was uneasy.

"Changing the ancestors to form laws may cause panic among the Manchus. Everyone knows Taizu. Taizong founded the country and started a business, and the scale system can be passed on forever. The ancestors of respecting heaven and law especially Manchus regard it as a word of gold and stone. Please think twice before doing it."

Shunzhi asked Jie Shu unhappily: "Do you disagree with my opinion?"

Jieshu replied respectfully: "Jishhu dare not. But Jieshu dare not be unique. Most princes and ministers agree, and Jieshu also agrees. "After thinking about it, Jieshu added: "Your Majesty must not underestimate everyone's indignation about the withdrawal of the political discussion. What if all the uncles and brothers of Wang work together to argue... the emperor must have a clear idea!"

Shunzhi was shocked and immediately asked: "Do they dare to form a party and disrupt government?"

"No, no! The kings and ministers Belle are loyal to the emperor and have no other intentions. However, it is inevitable that such a thing will coincide with it... Can the emperor abandon his master and seek the second best? Please observe clearly."

Shunzhi understood the meaning of Jieshu. Of course, changing the inner court to a cabinet is easier than withdrawing the political discussion, but for Shunzhi, withdrawing the political discussion is more important than changing the cabinet.

After hitting three soft nails, Shunzhi was in a bad mood and felt tired, but he still insisted on summoning Minister Beile and the six Manchus to have a separate interview one by one. The result was very dismayed. These princes and ministers expressed their loyalty to the emperor and their ancestors, and praised the emperor's wisdom and ability; they all remembered the sages of maintaining the Manchu advantage and not being close to the Han customs and Han system; they all disagreed with the withdrawal of the political discussion-of-the-scenes reasons of course, but Shunzhi found a context from it: Prince Jian Jidu was the leader of the political discussion.

Shunzhi thoughtfully and walked in the warm room for a long time, and ordered the eunuch to eat. After drinking milk tea and snacks, he felt that he was more prepared and he ordered Prince Jian Jidu to discuss matters. If Jidu could support him, most of the things would be successful.

After saluting Shunzhi, Ji Du said bluntly: "The Emperor must remember that Dorgon had wanted to reduce the political affairs and put the meeting of the ministers of the government aside. He monopolized the power of the kings and ministers. He also dismissed the kings and ministers of the ministry, and made the six ministers obey him. Dorgon changed the ancestral system in this way and acted misfortune, which aroused the public outrage in Manchuria and was heartbroken. Once he died, he was ruined. Wouldn't it be retribution?"

Shunzhi changed color: Isn’t this a slander for Dorgon and implying him? However, in order to win Jidu’s support, Shunzhi tried his best to endure it and did not cause any attack.

He didn't want to speak more and more passionately. He said, "My Manchu is the most powerful person in the world. It depends on the old customs of ancestors. If the descendants pass on generations, they can protect the country forever. This is the treasure of our Manchus. If it is thrown away, it will be useless even if it is gold and jade treasures are used! The country that has been built through hardships will be taken back by others. People do not need to use bows, arrows, swords and guns. Only this Han custom will overwhelm Manchu, the noble descendants of the fairies, will be submerged in the sea of ​​the Han people!... Manchus will be finished at that time!"

“Bad talk!”

Shunzhi couldn't help it anymore, and slapped the table and started to angrily.

"Your Majesty forgive me!"

Ji Du didn't blink and immediately stood up from the cushion, and knelt down on the ground with a "thump". He said, "The emperor killed Ji Du, and Ji Du was loyal to the emperor and his ancestors! The emperor thought Ji Du was unworthy. Ji Du was willing to take the crime. As long as the emperor said a word, Ji Du immediately resigned from the government and did not care about the affairs of the court from then on; the ministers of the King of Political Consultative Affairs, the ministers of Beile, could also resign and retire and be punished by the emperor. However, the system of political consultation must not be changed! "

Jidu's words made Shunzhi so angry that he knew that Jidu was not saying anything big to scare him, the emperor, but he would really not do it. Once Jidu gave up, a large group of people would follow him, which would not only make him lose all his face, but also make the great cause of unification of the world go to waste. The consequences would be even more serious!

Shunzhi shivered in his heart, and he did not have the courage to re-report the topic of withdrawing the political proposal. He suppressed the boiling anger in his heart, and held back his anger and said in a quiet voice: "So, what about changing the Third House to the Cabinet?"

"Reported to the Emperor, the country was destroyed by the Ming Dynasty. Most of the country was destroyed by the appointment of civil officials. That was the system of the country's destruction and it must not be done as per the same!" Ji Du refused again without hesitation.

"Brother Wang is too much!"

Shunzhi sneered, his nose wings quickly moved, his eyes were getting bigger and smaller, and his words almost rushed out in one breath, and his voice was high and loud, like a questioning: "When the Emperor set up the Third Court and the Eighth Office of the Inner Palace, wasn't it the lighting system? Did the Taizu have these settings?"

Emperor Taizong established the Three Courts of the Inner, including the Six Ministry of Officials, Military, Criminals, Workers, and Liberals, as well as the Censorate and the Lifan Academy. Everyone knew that it was imitating the Ming system. Ji Du was speechless, but he still said very stubbornly: "Report to the Emperor. The state collaborative system set by Emperor Taizu has not changed!"

Shunzhi smiled reluctantly and said, "Then, Brother Wang is planning for me. If he does not withdraw the political discussion and only changes his cabinet? Just like the previous emperor, will it work?"

Ji Du was slightly stunned and immediately realized that the emperor had made concessions. He thought for a while and said helplessly: "That's another thing, please ask the Minister of Political Consultative Affairs to discuss it."

"I want to withdraw the government's proposals because of the busy state affairs. The ministers of the kings and ministers of Beile are very successful and should be prosperous and honored, and live a life of their lives. I can also be used to govern the country quickly. Since Brother Wang and others think this is the ancestors and should not be moved lightly, I also have the measure of admonition. Changing the three inner courts into cabinets and setting up palaces and grand sects is actually just a smooth channel for service. Besides, the scale of the cabinet should be commensurate with our Qing Dynasty."

"The emperor clearly understands that Ji Du believes that the cabinet's grand senators are twice as many as the inner court's grand senators, and there are also bachelors and bachelors. Among them, there are many Han people. They are superb in national affairs. Although they are very knowledgeable and talented in doing things, they are not Manchuria after all. They cannot be given high positions and heavy power, so as not to harm the Qing Dynasty's national system..."

"Brother Wang means..."

"Jidu thought for a while, the Grand Secretary of the Palace should not be higher than the sixth rank..."

"What?" Shunzhi was shocked and said in a lost voice: "The Grand Secretary of the Third Academy is still a second-rank, so why is the Grand Secretary of the Palace Pavilion not higher than the Grand Secretary of the Sixth-rank!"

Ji Du remained calm and continued to speak respectfully, as if he had never been interrupted by Shunzhi: "The cabinet cannot be at the same level as the six ministries, and the Grand Secretary cannot be at the same level as the Shangshu, so as not to have too heavy power in the cabinet, which will hinder the emperor from governing politics and the country."

The Grand Secretary of the Cabinet was a noble minister in the Ming system, and the so-called prime minister who was under one person and above ten thousand people. The Grand Secretary was usually called a prime minister and a great worship, which means that the emperor should respect him and ask the prime minister to regulate the major affairs of the world. At this moment, Ji Du actually suggested that they could only be small sixth-rank officials!

The deputy position of the six-department officials in the six-department office is the sixth rank. The deputy position of the provincial officials is the sixth rank. He gives the same rank as the Yuanwailang and the provincial grandson to the Wenhua Palace Grand Secretary and the Dongge Grand Secretary. This is really inappropriate and ridiculous!

Shunzhi was so angry that he couldn't speak for a long time. Suddenly, his body tilted back and raised his head and burst into laughter.

Shunzhi's incompetence surprised Jidu and raised his head: "Master, are you?"

Shunzhi laughed so hard that he leaned back and forth, completely ignoring the emperor's majesty, and laughed loudly there.

Jidu stood silently for a while and said worriedly: "Prince, take care of the dragon body!"

Shunzhi stopped laughing suddenly, stared at Jidu, and said coldly: "Go and go!...I'm not crazy! Don't worry."

After Jidu left, Shunzhi gasped heavily, and a burst of rage rushed up like a raging fire, hitting his chest and burning his head. He made a long, tragic scream like a general who had red eyes on the battlefield. He picked up the exquisite small kang table with rosewood on the kang, along with the tea set on the table, a set of green jade workshop utensils, raised his hands high and threw it down to the ground! Not to mention those fragile utensils, even the small kang table was dispersed, and the wooden legs and wooden strips flew everywhere, scaring the eunuchs who were waiting inside and outside closed their eyes, shutting their mouths, bowing their heads, and thumping their hearts. I was really afraid that the emperor would vent his anger on his own and move their heads.

Shunzhi stepped out of the warm pavilion and left the Qianqing Palace. He walked quickly, regardless of the matter. The imperial guards and eunuchs rushed behind him, but did not dare to get too close. They soon arrived at Yuehua Gate, and Shunzhi slowed down and finally stopped by the door. He neither looked back nor moved, and coldly ordered the eunuchs, "From today on, I will see no one! I will send all the report to the inner courtyard. I will inform the Empress Dowager that I am in the West Garden. Soon, summon Tang Ruowang to see me in the Xubai Room of the West Garden!"
Chapter completed!
